17: Chapter 17 My best friend Lu Xiao? Hiding his identity and dating a poor girl? Go tell her!
"What do you mean?"
Chu Yang rolled his eyes. "I am an Immortal Emperor, dignified and grand. Is my drawing not clear enough?"
"Um... sorry. My brain can't comprehend the artwork of a high-dimensional Immortal Emperor!"
Shen Yuan had black lines on his forehead. "Now, explain it to me, and I'll write it down!"
"Fine!"
Chu Yang glanced at his drawing and then nodded.
The two of them started chatting away.
Shen Yuan memorized everything.
"When are we going home?"
Chu Yang asked. "Tomorrow is both of our birthdays!"
"Our birthdays, they're just..."
Chu Yang was truly out of ideas. "How about we just stick to the previous birthdays?"
Shen Yuan raised his middle finger. "Then wouldn't I be younger than you?"
Chu Yang shrugged. "I've lived in another world for over ten thousand years; you're definitely younger than me!"
"You are my younger brother!" Shen Yuan laughed heartily. "We're discussing the age in the real world."
"Forget it!"
Chu Yang didn't get annoyed. "Do whatever you want!"
"Let's go, home!" Shen Yuan was all smiles.
"Alright, once we get back, we'll drink the marrow cleansing dew!" Chu Yang looked solemn. "You should drink it too; that's the perfect realm!"
"No need!"
Shen Yuan didn't even turn his head. "The one provided by the system is already at the perfect realm."
Chu Yang: "..."
Waking up with a start from a deathbed, only to realize I'm the clown?
"System, add points?"
Chu Yang had black lines on his forehead. "So the cultivation given by the system is more solid than hard work, right?"
"You finally understand!"
Shen Yuan burst into laughter.
Chu Yang felt helpless.
The two went to the underground parking garage... preparing to return to the villa.
There were still things to do tonight.
Chu Yang needed to cultivate.
Shen Yuan needed to deal with Liu Ruyan.
"Perhaps the Matchmaker went offline and love is now managed by the God of Wealth..."
Just as they reached the car, the phone rang.
Shen Yuan took out his phone, and a name flashed on the screen. 【Lu Xiao (a bit silly)】
He was also a rich second-generation heir, two years younger than him. He was graduating from university this year, and he was quite capable in business.
He was also friends with the Original Owner. His family's assets weren't much, just a mere 200 billion or so.
"Little Lu?" Shen Yuan answered the phone. "Something up?"
"Brother Shen, look up, I'm in front of you!" Lu Xiao's voice came through.
Shen Yuan looked up in astonishment. A handsome young man was waving at them.
Shen Yuan widened his eyes, looked Lu Xiao up and down, and fell into deep thought.
Lu Xiao also ran over.
Shen Yuan's face twitched. "Did your Lu family go bankrupt?"
Everything Lu Xiao was wearing didn't add up to more than two hundred yuan.
"Brother Shen!" Lu Xiao chuckled and grabbed Shen Yuan's arm. "Let's go, let's go, I'll treat you to coffee."
Crackle, pop... Shen Yuan shuddered; he had actually been shocked by static electricity.
The ancients wore silk and satin, while modern people wear polyester that sparks!
The Overbearing CEO's heroine's clothes tear at a pull, while polyester shocks you until you're numb.
But it wasn't even the middle of winter! Where did this static come from!?
"Hey, I started dating a girlfriend." Lu Xiao began. "So, this and that, such and such!"
"Ding, discovered a normal-grade Child of Destiny!" The system's voice rang out.
Shen Yuan: "..."
He looked Lu Xiao up and down, deep in thought. This buddy he'd known since childhood... was actually a Child of Destiny?
Why am I the only Villain? Hiding his identity to date a girl from a poor family?
"System, what the hell is this thing!" "Can you let me know what the original plot for this Child of Destiny is!" "I'm so confused!" Shen Yuan was truly helpless.
He finally understood what the system meant... what it meant by the density of Children of Destiny being seriously excessive... Isn't this a bit too excessive?
"Ding, it is possible!" The system said. "Big discount sale..." "Eye of Destiny on sale, don't miss out!" "For 300 villain points, you can't buy cultivation, you can't buy artifacts." "For 300 villain points, you can't buy a loss, you can't get scammed!" The system shouted, "Purchase?"
Shen Yuan's heart stirred, and he looked at the system shop. Eye of Destiny: Can see through parts of the original plot of a Child of Destiny. Original price: 300 million. Promotional price: 300!
Shen Yuan's mouth twitched. Is this discount actually a bone-breaking discount? This price tag, did you just make it up randomly, System?
"Purchase!" Shen Yuan chose to purchase.
In an instant, he felt his eyes become sore and itchy, but the next moment, his senses sharpened.
What kind of feeling was that? It was a feeling of... being able to see it naturally.
Shen Yuan subconsciously looked at Lu Xiao.
Hiding his identity, dating his girlfriend, testing her... In the end, the girlfriend found out. As it happened, the girlfriend's mother got sick and needed surgery, and she was frantic, having no choice but to beg him... exposing his identity. But he said, "You really did love my money." Why give so many excuses? In the end, the girlfriend's mother died... and only then did he realize the girlfriend was truly trying to save her mother. The girlfriend left... He was in pain, regretful, guilty, and went to chase after love. And then it was... a crematorium of chasing his wife? Finally, he abandoned his Lu family status, and only then did he reconcile with his girlfriend. Did they really get their happy ending just like that?
Shen Yuan covered his face. What kind of pretentious plot is this! That girl, have you never seen a man before? Why must you end up with him? And... why make him give up his Lu family status? Woman, can't you just enjoy the money?
Shen Yuan sighed and turned to look at Chu Yang. "Then let me see the original Immortal Emperor reincarnation..." His eyes hurt, and he closed them.
"Ding, Host please note, there is a user manual below the item!" The system said calmly.
Shen Yuan: "?????"
He looked at the system shop again and found a line of text smaller than an ant. User Manual: Limited to viewing Children of Destiny of Excellent grade and below.
Shen Yuan: "..." Who the hell would notice such small text!
"Hey, Brother Shen?" Lu Xiao waved his hand in front of Shen Yuan's eyes. "What's wrong?"
Chu Yang silently leaned his body against the side of the car, lowering his presence. Do people these days have issues? What the hell are you hiding!
"What do you want, coming to find me?" Shen Yuan hesitated for a second before asking. The reason for that second of hesitation was... there didn't seem to be a stick in the car. I want to beat him up.
"Basically, I don't know what to do now." Lu Xiao said. "We'll talk when we're drinking coffee."
"Talk about your head, my birthday banquet is tomorrow, I have to hurry back and prepare!" Shen Yuan hurriedly made a gesture to stop him from coming closer. Back off, back off, back off! Get back!
"That works too!" Lu Xiao shook his head. "Although Wen Xun is the top student in school, her family situation is too difficult."
"I didn't ask about your grades!" Shen Yuan felt helpless.
Lu Xiao continued on his own. "A father who died early, a sick mother, and a broken her!"
"I was truly moved by her strong and optimistic mindset..."
"I want to confess my identity, but I'm afraid her self-esteem is too strong..." Lu Xiao said. "I don't know what to do now! Brother Shen, can you give me some advice?"
Shen Yuan squinted, gritting his teeth. "My advice is..." "Immediately, right now, get over there... and confess to her!"
