Li Xianyu was pretty well-read and had experienced all kinds of things. Even then, at this moment, he still felt a huge sense of oppression. After all, it was not the pressure of any individual, it was the pressure of thousands of people.
All the other girls beside him, except Great-Grandma, took a few steps back. Even Thunderbolt Battle Lady felt a bit pressured.
“It’s a feeling of… public anger?” Li Xianyu’s face was taut, and he faced the audience’s aggressive eyes. It didn’t matter anymore since what was done was already done. He had already given up on himself.
With a few minutes to go, Li Xianyu headed to where Baoze’s staff gathered.
“Don’t come here. I can’t stand those eyes.” Lightning King’s face was gloomy.
Last night, Lightning King almost exploded in rage after he knew of Li Xianyu’s adventures. How can anyone make such a scene just going for dinner? Why can’t this lil’ shit take a chill pill? The entire company had been embarrassed by you. Didn’t we agree to not stir any shit? Didn’t we agree to just peacefully last through this Forum Conference?
The complaints from various parties almost destroyed his cell phone. Those who were quick-tempered had even come to find him over the night. If he were to dare to hide, they would knock on the door and scream: “Open the door! Open the door! If you have the balls to play with women, you have the balls to open the door.”
In Lianghua Temple, Buddha Head and the Unparalleled War Spirit were around as deterrence. They dared not go to trouble Li Xianyu directly, but Li Xianyu was Baoze’s staff. Thus the ball was in Baoze’s hand.
Lightning King sincerely apologized and promised that nothing like this will happen again. For the first time after taking office as the enforcement department head, he behaved in such a lowly manner.
“I’m wrong, Lightning King, but I didn’t want to do it either.” Li Xianyu sincerely admitted his mistake.
“Yes, you didn’t want to. It’s always not your wish whenever things go south,” Lightning King said angrily.
The Unparalleled War Spirit had explained that it was an accident, not her great grandson’s fault. This was naturally part of his troublemaking constitution. Wherever he went, things went wrong, yet he was always an innocent party, and others would also think he was innocent.
This is the most irritating part of his “troublemaker constitution.”
“This is your last game. Promise me not to make trouble again.” Lightning King put his hands on Li Xianyu’s shoulder, solemnly, and his voice was full of pleading.
“This…” Li Xianyu looked away. I’m sorry, Lightning King. I have to do something again. It’s not a big deal. It’s just to bring down a famous Taoist… I can’t bear to tell him.
“Why are you darting your eyes away?” Lightning King’s scalp tingled.
“I did not.”
“You did. I dare you to look me in the eye and talk.”
“I… didn’t.”
Great-Grandma frowned and said, “Is there no end to this? What nonsense. Don’t just throw all the blame on my great-grandson.”
Li Xianyu said, “Great-Grandma is the best.”
Lightning King looked at Great-Grandma in anger. As the saying went, it was the father’s fault if the son was not properly taught. Thus it was the grandma’s fault when the grandson forgot his teachings. Due to such a custodian, Li Xianyu was like a runaway wild dog and made more and more trouble.
Yet Lightning King had no choice. Who asked Li Xianyu to have such an amazing Grandma? Moreover, it’s really not Li Xianyu’s fault… This was the most irritating part.
Li Bai, who was beside the Lightning King, suddenly said, “Li Xianyu, it would be your third month of awakening in a few days.”
Li Xianyu looked at him. “Hmm?”
Li Bai sniggered, “Title! Demon Descendant Title!”
Li Xianyu remembered that after becoming a regular employee, every employee would have a unique title. The title would be the name announced to the public, which was actually a means of protecting employees. After the Baoze group’s employees become regular employees, personal information would be encrypted. The higher their level, the higher the level of confidentiality. Including age, place of birth, name, family background, etc., the information would be encrypted and unknown to outsiders. This alone can prevent over 80% of retaliatory attacks.
Of course, there was no use in keeping secrets for well-known people like Li Xianyu.
“So?” he asked back.
“Mo Fei has a lot of inspiration after hearing of your great feats here at the Forum Conference, and has given you several alternative titles,” Kato Eagle said with a strange smile
“Tainted Demon King!”
“Devilish Successor!”
“Climax Expert!”
Not far away, King Kong snickered. Other colleagues couldn’t help but laugh along. It was an unexpectedly light and cheery atmosphere.
Li Xianyu rolled his eyes and made an attempt to ignore all that as he said, “Help me pass a message to Mo Fei that I am not happy with the title. Otherwise, I will let her know the horror of my demonic left hand.”
(／‵口′)／~╧╧ What kind of joke is that If I get that kind of title? I will lose all my reputation. In the future, when I meet with my colleagues and introduce myself, they might say, “I’m Zhao Ritian, how do I address you?”
I will say, “I’ve heard of you. I’m the Tainted Demon King. You can also call me Climax Expert…” Fuck off, man.
At this moment, the names of Li Xianyu and Dan Chenzi floated up in the sky. The referee shouted. “Li Xianyu and Dan Chenzi, please come to Arena 1 immediately now.”
On one side, the gay buddies Dan Chenzi and Jie Se were sitting together and looked towards Li Xianyu.
“Beat him up for me.”Jie Se ground his teeth in anger.
“That’s exactly what I taught.” Dan Chenzi nodded.
For Dan Chenzi to bear such resentment, Li Xianyu must have done something excessively unacceptable. Last night, Jie Se and Dan Chenzi fought hard with each other. They suffered slight injuries and recovered after a night’s rest, but the wounds in their hearts could never be recovered. Recalling last night’s dribs and drabs, both of them couldn’t help but want to cover their faces. Both sides unconsciously did not look into each other’s eyes, especially considering how Dan Chenzi unconsciously spoke his dialect1.
“Why yer’ lookin’?”
“So what if me lookin’ at yer?”
“Yer’ dare try again?”
“Me dare!”
In retrospect, the two Taoist geniuses couldn’t help crying.
Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, Li Xianyu strode up to the challenge arena. The arena at the foot of the temple broke down in many of the previous battles, but it would be repaired by monks of Lianghua Temple with quick-drying cement the next day.
He looked at the audience and saw Dan Chenzi, dressed in a Taoist robe, coming towards him slowly.
As soon as he stepped on the stage, the audience started a tsunami of cheering.
“Dan Chenzi, beat him to death! Beat Li Xianyu to death.”
“Dan Chenzi, I choose you! Use Thunderbolt!”
“Quickly kill Li Xianyu. He touched my girlfriend last night. My girlfriend is still in a daze.”
“Don’t mention anything about last night! Dan Chenzi, take revenge for me and kill Li Xianyu!”
“Li Xianyu should be punished by justice. We support you, Dan Chenzi. Don’t be merciful.”
“I spent all my money to bet on Dan Chenzi to win. I can make money while watching Li Xianyu get beaten. Life’s great.”
The chaotic noise reverberated, and then became a uniform cheer: “Dan Chenzi, beat him down.” It was so uniform that one would suspect that the audience had rehearsed this before.
“Wasn’t it exaggerated that Li Xianyu has such a bad reputation?” Liu Kongcao was stunned.
“It’s normal that anyone who does these things has a bad reputation,” Xia Xiaoxue stated.
“I don’t think so. I find him more and more admirable,” You Mengyu said, disappointed.
Only masochists like you would want this, the crowd commented in their hearts.
The employees of the Baoze group saw this atmosphere and really wanted to cover their faces. The situation was so embarrassing. There were only two people who are not embarrassed right now. One was Great-Grandma and the other is Cui Hua. They are Li Xianyu’s solid supporters in his Harem.
Thunderbolts Battle Lady suddenly asked, “Have you guys made your bets on the internet?”
On such a grand event, how could they miss on making bets? Since the round of 16, the betting platform has opened, and the daily cash flow could be regarded as massive.
“You Mengyu, Xia Xiaoxue, Liu Kongcao, and the others all replied, “Yea, we bet on Dan Chenzi.”
Thunderbolt Battle Lady said, “Nobody bet on Li Xianyu?”
“You did?”
“No.” Thunderbolt Battle Lady smiled softly. “I also bet on Dan Chenzi.”
Even if they were all acquaintances, earning money was a different matter. Everyone was silent.
In most people’s opinion, betting on Dan Chenzi to win was a business with no loss even if the odds were low. Just like that time when Germany won the World Cup…
And the people who bet on Li Xianyu were the real gamblers. If Li Xianyu were to win, they could live the high life. If Li Xianyu were to lose… they would meet in heaven.
Sitting in the surging tide of people, Aoki Yui looked at the young person in the arena while wearing a complicated complexion. She felt very complicated about Li Xianyu, as she felt anger, shame, grievance… And there was also a kind of emotion that she could not seem to put words to.
As the little princess of the Aoki family, she had seen all kinds of men vying for her attention, yet she had never seen such a man like him.
“Young Mistress, Second Master has arrived at the foot of Emei Mountain. Shall we greet him?” asked the butler in a low voice.
“No, after the fight.” Aoki Yui shook her head.
“The family wants you to give up contact with Li Xianyu… Just focus on making friends with Li Peiyun.” The butler said, “My stupid young mistress, have you not suffered enough from the heir of the Li Family? How can you get married if it goes on like this?”
Well, last night’s incident was sent back to Japan by a malicious little bitch.
As always, the title imitated China’s clickbait titles: #Shocking! Aoki Yui was addicted to being abused and invited more than a dozen women to a party with Li’s family heirs.#
There was no video attached this time, but in order to prove the authenticity of the news, the article was interspersed with a lot of screenshots of Chinese netizens’ comments on this matter, attached with Japanese translation.
Japanese demon descendant community were shocked again: “What the hell, Aoki Yui got addicted?”
With that came another round of fierce public opinion attacks. This morning, the Aoki Yui cried in the toilet until she fainted.
Before she came to China, she was one of the most beautiful women in the Japanese Demon Descendant community and was admired by many. After she came to China, she became a masochist who enjoyed being abused by the heir of the Li family.
At breakfast, she received a letter of apology from Li Xianyu. The person who delivered the letter was a beautiful woman who was always by Li Xianyu’s side with a hot body and wild temperament.
Li Xianyu sincerely apologized in the letter, saying that last night’s incident was purely accidental. If it bothered her, he sought her forgiveness. It was a formal and official letter of apology. However, the letter didn’t say why it was out of control.
……
Li Xianyu glanced over the audience, looked at those passionate faces, he saw Thunderbolt Battle Lady clenching her fist to cheer him on, he saw his grandmother’s head leaning down while playing with her mobile phone. He saw Cuihua’s lazy yawn. He saw Jie Se’s cold eyes. He saw Sakurai Yukinako holding half a watermelon in a corner, sticking her tongue out at him playfully. And finally, he saw Aoki Yui’s haggard face.
He gave Aoki Yui an apologetic but not really sincere smile and bowed slightly.
“Baka!” Aoki Yui turned her face to one side, scolded lightly.
He withdrew his gaze and started to concentrate. Li Xianyu took off his gloves and threw it to one side. He then looked directly at the Dan Chenzi.
The winner would remain standing.
The loser would be left on the ground.
The match began.
TL note:
1: It’s how people in Dongbei speak when they are not happy with each other and wants to start a fight. Here I made them speak like pirates.
Li Xianyu was pretty well-read and had experienced all kinds of things. Even then, at this moment, he still felt a huge sense of oppression. After all, it was not the pressure of any individual, it was the pressure of thousands of people.
