Chapter 13: Kneel and Apologize

Page 1 of 3

Everyone had the same thought.

Who was this man?

How powerful was he?

How high must his status be for Miss Huang to kneel before him?

She was the eldest daughter of the Huang family.

The Huangs might not rule Jiangcheng with an iron fist, but they were still a first-rate family. They could not compare with the city’s two foremost clans, yet throughout Jiangcheng, they remained a force no one dared provoke.

“I’m sorry!”

When those three words left Huang Ying’s lips, everyone felt as though their minds had nearly exploded.

He had made the Huang family’s eldest daughter kneel and apologize.

Good heavens, they had truly witnessed something extraordinary.

“Get lost. Don’t try to be clever in front of me again. This is the Huang family’s final chance.”

Huang Ying slunk away.

She had thought her plan was flawless, but now it was clear that it had been riddled with holes.

Liu Zhenhua was no match for Tang Xuan at all.

To Tang Xuan, this little trouble was nothing.

Back in the car, Huang Ying burst into tears.

“I’m such an idiot. Why did I do something so stupid?”

Liu Zhenhua stood before Tang Xuan, trembling like a leaf.

“Brother, my wife was in the wrong. To show my remorse, I’ll give you this apartment.”

“Do you think I can’t afford it?”

Liu Zhenhua panicked.

“No, no, that’s not what I meant.”

Tang Xuan turned to Yu Xin.

“Does your face still hurt?”

Yu Xin nodded instinctively.

“Do you want revenge?”

Yu Xin glanced at the fat woman.

She was afraid.

But she knew this was an opportunity Tang Xuan had given her.

If she seized it, perhaps she could establish a connection with him.

The chance to befriend someone like Tang Xuan might come only once in her entire life.

Gritting her teeth, Yu Xin walked up to the fat woman.

Smack!

A resounding slap rang out.

The fat woman clutched her cheek and did not dare utter a word.

“You may leave now.”

Liu Zhenhua hurriedly dragged the fat woman away, unwilling to linger for even another moment.

“Honey, that woman actually hit me! You have to get revenge for me.”

Liu Zhenhua cursed through clenched teeth. “Are you out of your mind? If I helped you get revenge, wouldn’t that be like slapping him in the face?”

“Do you want to die even faster?”

The fat woman looked aggrieved. “Am I really supposed to swallow this humiliation?”

Liu Zhenhua sneered.

“Do you think I’m all-powerful in Jiangcheng?”

“You struck her first, and she returned a slap. What exactly did you lose?”

The fat woman began sobbing.

Liu Zhenhua warned her, “Don’t cause trouble for me again, or I’ll divorce you.”

Tang Qinghua felt more and more that calling Tang Xuan “brother” had been the right choice.

Simply standing beside Tang Xuan filled him with pride.

When the two of them went to complete the paperwork, Tang Xuan directly registered the property under Tang Qinghua’s name.

Tang Qinghua was so moved that he nearly called him “Dad,” giving Tang Xuan quite a fright.

Although Tang Xuan had once endured the Heavenly Tribulation and been struck by thunder eighty-one times, his current body could not withstand another bolt from heaven.

After leaving the sales office, Tang Qinghua hummed a little tune.

Tang Xuan was in an excellent mood as well.

Things he had once been unable to do had now become reality.

At last, he was someone capable of giving his parents a better life.

“By the way, what’s going on between you and Zhao Ran lately?”

“I heard you haven’t gone home for several days.”

Tang Xuan had racked his brains over this question many times.

He had even considered gritting his teeth and sleeping with Aunt Zhao.

After all, this body did not truly belong to him.

That way, Zhao Ran would stop overthinking things.

But he simply could not bring himself to do it.

Suddenly, inspiration struck.

Tang Xuan let out a heavy sigh.

“Why are you sighing? Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for another woman.”

“To be honest, I’ve been practicing too intensely lately, and it’s caused…” Tang Xuan hesitated. “Anyway, things are somewhat inconvenient.”

Seeing the troubled expression on Tang Xuan’s face, Tang Qinghua suddenly burst out laughing.

“You… you wouldn’t happen to be…”

“Impotent?”

Tang Qinghua wore a gleeful expression.

What a fine friend he was.

Tang Xuan nodded. “I don’t know how to explain it to Zhao Ran. I planned to tell her once I had figured things out.”

Tang Qinghua draped an arm over Tang Xuan’s shoulder.

“Brother, it’s no big deal. Not everyone is as vigorous as your little brother here.”

“Just be honest with her. Zhao Ran won’t despise you, and it’ll keep her from imagining all sorts of things.”

When they returned to the hospital, Zhao Ran was changing Little Xuan’s diaper.

The moment she saw Tang Xuan, she lowered her head, and her eyes reddened.

Ever since Huang Ying had called Tang Xuan away, Zhao Ran had felt that he had changed.

He had become unfamiliar, distant.

She knew she was not as beautiful as Huang Ying. She did not even have the courage to fight for his affection.

Yet she was in agony, as though her heart had been hollowed out.

For the past several nights, she had cried herself to sleep.

Tang Qinghua quietly called You Zhen aside and whispered something to her.

The look You Zhen gave Tang Xuan became somewhat strange.

Then You Zhen called Zhao Ran over as well.

The three of them gathered together, whispering among themselves.

Tang Xuan looked at the infant lying in the crib.

He had been so handsome even as a baby. No wonder he had grown into such a striking man.

In the Immortal Realm, there was a legendary constitution known as the Sacred Body, something countless cultivators dreamed of attaining.

Tang Xuan intended to begin tempering this body immediately.

If he could truly develop a Sacred Body, then upon his return to the Immortal Realm, he might never again have an equal.

At that moment, Zhao Ran walked over to Tang Xuan with tears glistening in her eyes.

“Sixteen, I’m sorry. I misunderstood you.”

Tang Xuan knew that the real misunderstanding had only just begun.

And this one was far worse.

But he had no way to explain.

“Don’t worry. I won’t despise you. Even if you never recover, it’s all right.”

What a comforting thing to say. Anyone hearing it would feel utterly chilled inside.

Zhao Ran opened her arms and pulled Tang Xuan into her embrace.

In the luxurious suite of a five-star hotel, Huang Fei was furious.

She had intended to use the Zhou family to put pressure on Tang Xuan. She had never expected Zhou Zhuoyi to die, and Zhou Hu to die as well.

“Zhou Hu was utterly useless. His mental endurance was that poor?”

“His grandson died, that’s all. He didn’t even manage to take revenge before dying himself.”

“Useless. Every last one of them is useless.”

Huang Fei could not bear to wait any longer. She wanted to see Tang Tian stand again as soon as possible.

“Elder Qin, I’ll have to trouble you to make a personal appearance. Even if you have to tie him up, bring Tang Sixteen back to the capital.”

“Tian’er has suffered enough. It’s time for all this to end.”

In her heart, Tang Tian was her only son.

Even though Tang Xuan had already displayed extraordinary strength, she pretended not to have seen it.

Deep down, she knew she had made a mistake, but the proud Huang Fei would never admit it.

In her view, as long as Tang Tian could be cured, the Tang family could continue to prosper.

“Miss, this is what I ought to do. There’s no need to thank me.”

“I’ve wanted to humble him for a long time.”

With Elder Qin taking action, Huang Fei felt completely at ease. She did not believe anything could go wrong.
