45: Chapter 45: If you offend the group's darling, even if you're the protagonist, you'll get slapped twice.

"Damn it, how can this be? The story isn't supposed to develop like this..."

Chu Tian clutched his wounds. It hurt, it hurt a lot. That guy Qin Yun didn't seem to view him as an enemy at all; from Qin Yun's perspective, his gaze was like he was teasing a clown.

And that clown was him!

At the thought of this, he couldn't help but clench his fists. "Qin Yun, I don't believe you can stay this calm forever. If I can't deal with you, can't I go after your family?"

He had heard that Qin Yun had a sister. Although rumors claimed they were at odds, Chu Tian believed that as long as he captured Qin Yun's sister, even someone as arrogant as him would kneel at his feet for the sake of his family.

But... using family as leverage... Chu Tian hesitated. After all, in his line of work, the thing he loathed most was taking family members hostage. However, thinking of Yun Yan and Qin Yun's affectionate behavior, and the possibility of them spending the night together, his jealousy burned fiercely.

"Hmph, 'A man is not truly great without some ruthlessness'! As the art of war says, 'All is fair in war'! This is all for the final victory!"

At this thought, the pain from his wounds vanished instantly. His eyes revealed a hint of determination as he resolutely walked toward Qin Yun's villa.

At this time, Qin Yun had just sent Yun Yan home. The Mandate of Heaven Protagonist Eye monitored Chu Tian's movements. Seeing the direction he was headed, Qin Yun's expression darkened slightly, but thinking of the two people at home, that gloominess disappeared without a trace.

If only Xiao Shang were at home, Qin Yun would have rushed back at top speed. But now there were two others: one who practiced the sword and another who practiced body tempering.

Both of them were at the Late Stage Dark Force. Moreover, Chu Tian had already been beaten senseless by him today. He was also curious to see how strong Leng Youxue and Shen Yingxue were against a protagonist of destiny... Following the information he'd gathered, Chu Tian arrived at Qin Yun's villa. The estate was vast, complete with pavilions, gardens, and fountains.

Chu Tian's eyes darkened at the sight. "This bastard is truly extravagant! But after today, I'll make you regret it!"

Qin Yun intentionally letting him go was a thorn in Chu Tian's side. As the Cold-Blooded Lone Wolf, the fact that someone he intended to kill didn't even take him seriously was a complete insult to him!

Thinking of this, Chu Tian gave a light leap. The villa's gate couldn't stop him at all; he jumped inside with ease.

He would now capture Qin Yun's sister as quickly as possible so he could threaten Qin Yun. He wanted to make Qin Yun regret everything he had done!!!

However, as he burst through the door, a different scene met his eyes.

"Third Senior Sister, eat this. This is Snowflake Wagyu; it's delicious in the hot pot. Fourth Senior Sister, this large lobster is also great, try it quickly! Hmph, that Stinky Qin Yun went out to pick up girls again. Let's eat it all and not leave him a single bite."

Qin Yushang's little face was covered in sesame sauce. She had just cracked open an Australian Lobster and started eating. It was hard to imagine that a simple hot pot was being cooked with nothing but top-tier ingredients.

Qin Yushang had prepared three King Crabs in one go. Just as they were eating happily, Chu Tian burst through the door, making Qin Yushang immediately unhappy.

She originally thought Stinky Qin Yun had returned, but as she turned her head, she realized something was wrong. Leng Youxue reacted instantly, stepping in front of the two girls.

When Chu Tian saw the three women staring at him, his first thought wasn't to take them hostage, but rather he was shocked by their beauty.

If Yun Yan was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, then after today, she would only be one of them.

Qin Yushang's liveliness, Leng Youxue's coldness, and Shen Yingxue's silly-sweet nature all exuded a unique charm that attracted Chu Tian.

In an instant, his heart was filled with jealousy toward Qin Yun! Why? Why did that guy Qin Yun have so many beautiful women around him? These women should be his; only someone like him was worthy of such peerless beauty.

As he thought this, he completely forgot how he had just been toyed with by Qin Yun. However, Chu Tian wasn't completely blinded by their beauty. Once he killed Qin Yun, he would take all these women for himself, leaving none behind.

By then, even if Yun Yan begged him to come back, he wouldn't spare her a single glance.

"Which of you is Qin Yun's sister?"

Qin Yushang narrowed her eyes, then pulled out a tissue to wipe the grease from her hands and mouth. From her tone alone, it was clear the visitor was unfriendly.

"It's me. What about it?"

"Then I'll have to trouble you to come with me. Be a good hostage; I don't hit women. The only one I want to deal with is your brother."

However, at that moment, Chu Tian felt a cold glint at his neck. Out of instinct, he immediately retreated. As a result, a broken sword swept right through where he had been standing.

Leng Youxue held the remaining half of Cold Frost, her eyes filled with endless killing intent.

Cold sweat immediately dripped down Chu Tian's forehead. If not for his years of combat experience allowing him to dodge in time, he might have actually been killed by this person just now!

"This woman is a lunatic!!!"

"You dare try to take Xiao Shang? Have you asked me first!"

Leng Youxue raised her sword, a hint of killing intent flashing in her eyes. The moment Chu Tian tried to lay a hand on Qin Yushang, she had already decided where to bury him.

"Dark Force cultivation, this is bad."

After feeling Leng Youxue's pressure, Chu Tian felt like retreating. However, in the next moment, a fist smashed directly toward him.

He blocked with his hand, but the immense force sent him reeling back more than ten steps. His hands trembled slightly. Shen Yingxue also stepped forward, using a cute tone to say the most terrifying words.

"No... No bullying Xiao Shang, or else... or else I'll bury you in the ground as fertilizer."

Qin Yun, who was observing everything from the shadows, curled his lips slightly. With these two protecting Xiao Shang, even if the Dragon King came, he'd have to take two slaps before leaving.

He originally thought his Xiao Shang was following a harem Female Protagonist script, but it turns out she's following a Group's Favorite script!

This money was damn well spent!!!
