3: Chapter 3: The Dragon King's Face Slapped, His Impotent Fury

"Let go! Let me go!"

Xiao Chen's expression began to twist. He abruptly pulled his hand back. In that instant just now, ten percent of the Internal Energy within Xiao Chen's body had been sucked away by Qin Yun.

Feeling his Internal Energy diminish, Xiao Chen's face looked worse than if he had swallowed a fly, and his palm was still trembling slightly.

[Ding! The Host has been detected slapping the Dragon King, Xiao Chen, in the face. Xiao Chen's luck points -3. Host's lottery chances +3. Xiao Chen has 97 luck points remaining.]

After hearing the System's report, Qin Yun couldn't help but curl his lips. Currently, the Protagonist, Xiao Chen, was at a critical stage of Cultivating the Dragon Gang Art, which required him to compress his Internal Energy using the Dragon Gang Art for three full years to complete.

During this period, he could only pretend to be an ordinary person. But unexpectedly, with less than a week remaining until the three-year deadline, ten percent of his Internal Energy was drawn away, directly delaying the original three-year promise and even damaging his Origin. How could this not shock him?

"Brother Xiao, I was just shaking your hand. Why such a huge reaction? It's almost like you thought I was a queer trying to eat you up, hahahaha!"

Qin Yun's hearty laughter echoed throughout the entire Ye Family compound. After hearing it, Xiao Chen's face turned terrifyingly gloomy. Just from that brief contact, he understood one thing.

This Dandy Young Master of the Qin Family standing before him was not as simple as he appeared. Although he currently couldn't use the Dragon Gang Art, the strength Qin Yun had just displayed could even rival his Four Great Protectors.

"Ooh, lookie here! The trash son-in-law is scared Miss Ye will leave with our Young Master, so he started gripping hands, but he couldn't beat our Young Master! What a weakling! Hahaha!"

The group of followers behind him continued their steady output. Hearing their cannon fodder remarks, Qin Yun felt like smacking them one by one.

"System, can you cure these idiots? They're too embarrassing."

[Host, the Dragon King has an Intelligence-Reducing Halo. You cannot stop it. If you hadn't bound to this System, you would have become like this too.]

"Damn it!"

Since he couldn't change it, he wouldn't bring these guys out next time. It was too damn embarrassing! He was now a Big Boss who had Transmigrated to change his Heaven-Defying fate, not some roadside Elite Monster. His status had to be elevated.

"Qin Yun, you deserve to die. I'll remember you..."

"You trash! How dare you compete with Young Master Qin? Go pee and look at your reflection! Are you worthy? Get back inside right now!"

"Mom..."

"Don't call me Mom! If it weren't for the Old Master, I wouldn't have you, this trash son-in-law, at all!"

After Liu Cuilan learned that Xiao Chen had just competed with Qin Yun, she rushed up and pointed at his nose, cursing. Clearly, the Dragon King's Mother-in-Law's street-fighting combat power was still at the Ceiling level.

Xiao Chen stared intently at Qin Yun. How badly he wanted to beat up this man who had insulted him! If he used the Dragon Gang Art, this bastard would definitely not be his opponent.

But if he used the Dragon Gang Art, all his efforts over the past three years would be for naught. Then, he slowly closed his eyes, seemingly having made an important decision, and said in a hoarse voice.

"Wife, I'm going back to the room to rest."

After speaking, he returned to the room somewhat dejectedly. Ye Qingge looked at his retreating figure, a trace of complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

She didn't know what feelings she held for Xiao Chen. In fact, when Xiao Chen got angry just now, she felt a little surprised and pleased. At least this trash husband, rumored by the outside world, still possessed a man's vitality.

But just a handshake with Qin Yun had completely dissipated the vitality he had painstakingly accumulated.

Seeing Xiao Chen leave, Liu Cuilan immediately revealed a look of satisfaction, then pulled Ye Qingge closer.

"Daughter, ignore that trash. As long as you accompany Young Master Qin well today, the Ye Corporation's crisis will be completely over."

"Hey, Auntie! Don't make it sound so bad. What do you mean by 'accompany well'? I am openly inviting Miss Ye to dinner. She is not a hostess at a bar. Understand?"

"I, I understand."

Qin Yun smiled faintly, his eyes revealing a degree of confidence. "So, Miss Ye, would you grant me the honor of having dinner together?"

Ye Qingge slowly closed her eyes. Facing this situation, she truly didn't know what to do.

Although Qin Yun had helped the Ye Corporation overcome its difficulties, Young Master Qin of Jiang City had a notorious reputation, and since it was nighttime, anyone could guess his intentions.

But the Qin Family's power was too immense. She belonged to a small Family struggling for survival in the cracks, completely lacking the ability to refuse.

"President Qin, I—I'm already married. Is there really no other way to thank you besides going out for dinner?"

"Of course there is. I want 40% of the Ye Corporation's shares. How about that?"

Hearing this, Ye Qingge suddenly stood up. "Young Master Qin, even if all my shares were put together, I only have 35% of the shares. I absolutely cannot agree to this request."

"In that case, please don't refuse the dinner invitation. After all, if the Qin Corporation's help were withdrawn, and if rival forces were to find out, your Ye Corporation might... not be so lucky as it is today."

Then, Qin Yun slowly stood up. "Since Miss Ye doesn't want to go, I won't force it. I'm leaving."

Qin Yun then turned and left, while Liu Cuilan anxiously spoke from the side.

"Daughter, agree! Quickly agree to him!"

"Mom, I'm already married!"

"So what? That trash can't help you! You just stabilized your position in the Ye Family and now you've run into this mess. If you don't secure a relationship with Young Master Qin now, what do you intend to do? Do you really want the Ye Corporation to be ruined in your hands?"

The pressure constantly weighed down on Ye Qingge's body. Just as Qin Yun was about to leave the room, Ye Qingge suddenly called out to him.

"Young Master Qin, wait a moment."

"Eldest Young Miss Ye, does this mean you agree?"

"We... we're just going to eat, right?"

"Of course not entirely. Aren't we also discussing cooperation? This is a massive project worth hundreds of millions, so we definitely need to have an in-depth exchange."

Ye Qingge pursed her lips. She knew clearly that if she refused now, she would fall into an abyss.

Qin Yun showed no expression on the surface, but the pressure and fear he exerted were unprecedented.

"Fine, I agree."

...In the room, Xiao Chen watched Ye Qingge get into Qin Yun's car, clenching his fists so tightly they were rigid with anger.

If his Internal Energy hadn't inexplicably vanished today, damaging his Foundation and requiring him to Cultivate all night to stabilize and repair it, he absolutely would not have let that Dandy boy walk out of the Ye Family compound.

Afterward, he made a phone call.

"White Tiger, follow my wife closely. If that Qin guy does anything to her, you cripple his third leg! Don't take his life. I will take his life personally after I have mastered my Divine Skill!"
