Returning from the Immortal World - Chapter 689

Chapter 689: Women Are Troublesome

Tang Xiu was dumbfounded. He never thought his huge storage of hormones and his straight man identity would actually be questioned. When exactly did he act shillyshally? He was just conscientious over his feelings and never wished to be a womanizer.

"Goddammit!"

Despite having a firm self-control and will, the nefarious flame had rushed into the back of his head. Looking at the contempting expression on Ouyang Lulu's face, he reached out and grabbed her waist and turned her up to make her sit on his lap.

Ouyang Lulu's delicate body stiffened. She felt her underbelly meeting with a hard bone-like thing standing up against her most private area and felt her limbs soften, limp and numb. An intense shyness birthed inside her. However, Tang Xiu's words made her irritated and she retorted angrily, "I know you that you don't lack women, but I, Ouyang Lulu, am in a class of my own. Even if you have a lot of women now, I'll defeat all of them in the future. Hmph… I can endure and stay tranquil at the same time, and yet I can also step back and march up towards the sky. If you dare to do it, I won't be afraid to bear it."

"Fuck!"

Tang Xiu straightly picked her up. After everything was said and done, it was Lulu who sent herself to his door. If he was to admit that he did get aroused, he would really be a damn fool without "balls". More so that he had long thought about it, that perfecting one's heart in worldly affairs was to pursue a leisure and carefree life, to be in a state of blissful abstraction. For good or bad, he was once a dignified Supreme in the Immortal World, why should he repress his emotions and be depressed due to fear, to begin with? Granted that Ouyang Lulu was a wild horse, but he could tame her into a docile little sheep in the future.

Tap tap tap…

On the bedroom on the second floor, Tang Xiu turned on the light and put Lulu on the big bed, then straightly walked to the window and pulled it.

"Come…"

Ouyang Lulu's pretty face was blushing and looked shy, yet her untamed wild nature soared to the sky as she raised her busty twin peaks. Her eyes were watery like spring water as they intently looked at Tang Xiu.

Zip…

Tang Xiu's hands easily opened Ouyang Lulu's corsage and took everything off her body in seconds. Her white jade-like body made the nefarious flame inside him crazily surge up, the flame setting the prairie ablaze in just a moment.

Aaah….

Amidst the moans, Tang Xiu directly broke the final line of defense.

Panting and rough breathing, accompanied by seductive moans.

The awakening spring slowly turned the room warm. Under Tang Xiu's endless demands and Ouyang Lulu's initiative to cater to him, the time unknowingly passed by and more than an hour after, Ouyang Lulu began to beg for mercy repeatedly as a heavy curtain closed the affairs between man and woman.

In the morning, as the first light of the sun shone through the curtain slit into the bedroom, Tang Xiu sat on the sofa in the corner of the bedroom, wearing shorts and a sleeveless shirt. Clamping a cigarette between his fingers, he was silently thinking about what he did last night. He did not regret it since he was, after all, a normal man and was unable to be completely indifferent facing an attractive woman.

This being the case, he must follow his conscience, then he would accept it as it was. Nobody could predict anything in this world, and he did not feel like thinking much of what the future held, whether it was right or wrong. From the apex of the supremacy of the Immortal World to start from the scratch again, and he even changed his cultivation into a Demon God cultivation technique. Even though the paths walked on by the Immortals and Demons were different, yet the end of the journey was ultimately headed towards the Gods Realm, as they would all then strive to advance toward the highest Primal Chaos boundary.

Uh…

Ouyang Lulu, who was drooling on the pillow, slowly woke up from her sleep like a lazy kitten. With eyes half open and blurred vision, she did not see the scene in the room and just sat up comfortably and stretched herself.

Ouch…

She couldn't help but cry out due to the pain in her lower body.

At the corner sofa, Tang Xiu got up with a faint smile and walked to the bed. He directly lifted her and, amidst her scream, strode to the bathroom. After filling the bathtub with warm water, he took half a drop of Body Refining Liquid and dropped it into the water, and then put the naked Lulu into the bathtub.

"It will be painful, but you must endure it."

Pouting her lips, Lulu did not mind about Tang Xiu's crude manner, though she did feel a bit shy inwardly. But the pouting she put on could not conceal her happy feelings inside with that happy smile of hers. A dozen seconds after, however, the smile on her face vanished quickly and swayed her lower body unnaturally from side to side with a disbelieving expression in her eyes.

"It's painful…" Ouyang Lulu called out and looked somewhat grieved.

"You have to endure it. It brings about great benefits to your body. The thing I put into the warm water is not something you can buy even for a sky-high price," said Tang Xiu.

After half an hour, Tang Xiu took Lulu, whose body was now flushed red, out from the bathtub. She did not scream out of pain again after half an hour of pain. She let Tang Xiu hug her and take her out of the bathtub, wrap her in a beige bath towel, and then return her to the bed.

"Oh? Why do I feel something strange?"

As she rested her head on the pillow, she felt a heat flowing inside her body constantly surging and recovering her strength. The sensation made her surprised and fascinated.

"I put the Body Refining Liquid into the warm water," said Tang Xiu. "I only put half a drop since your body has an injury, though. But it will still bring about great benefits to you, nonetheless. At the very least, it will double your strength and greatly improve your physical strength. The benefits you got this time, coupled with the abilities you already have, you can beat more than ten small thugs by yourself now."

"Is this Body Refining Liquid you really that precious?" Asked Lulu after blinking her eyes.

"Yeah, it's something very hard to buy even if you have the money," answered Tang Xiu seriously.

A bright smile appeared on Ouyang Lulu's beautiful face. Though only a small part of her strength was recovered, she jumped up from the bed and threw herself into Tang Xiu's arm despite still being wrapped in a towel. With a happy smile, she said, "I knew it. You're even willing to spend that precious thing on me."

"Eh, what happened?"

Being hugged by Lulu's white arms and feeling her smooth skin rubbing his neck along with her special fragrance, it ignited the flame inside Tang Xiu's heart again.

"Eh…"

Ouyang Lulu keenly felt that a hard object below touched her body. When she looked down, her whole face turned red and she called out, "Scoundrel!"

Tang Xiu rolled his eyes in response. They may have fought for a long time last night, but the morning was the time when a man's virility was in its most intense state, as it would also be the first to wake up like a ramrod tower against the sky. And now that it faced a beauty and with him looking at Lulu's shy appearance, the moment swiftly overwhelmed him…

9:30 AM. Tang Xiu had neatly dressed and left Bluestar Villa Complex in high spirits. At the moment, Ouyang Lulu was sleeping like a log on the bed. They just had tossed about again for two hours, and she was so tired that she was nearly unable to move her fingers.

"The Night Orchid's flower petal gotten from Western Nefarious Sangha is indeed a good thing. Burning it produces a fragrance which can act as a very powerful restorative tonic and is very helpful for sleeping. Lulu used up quite a lot, thus she probably won't wake up in less than ten hours."

After sitting on the back seat, Tang Xiu glanced at Mo Awu who started the car and suddenly grinned, "Awu, considering your age and Awen's, shouldn't the both of you find a wife to bear your children? Do you have someone special?"

A sorrowful light flashed in Mo Awu's eyes as he replied with a solemn expression, "Women are troublesome. I don't want to be bothered and be troubled with them anymore."

Again?

Tang Xiu stared blankly and asked with a puzzled expression, "What do you mean? I have the impression that you had a woman before from your words. Did you…"

Mo Awu fell silent for a long time. Just as the car was about to arrive at the entrance of Shanghai University, only then did he slowly speak, "There was a woman I liked 11 years ago. We were in the same training camp abroad and went through fire and water and did many missions together. We did end up being together later on, but because a bastard from Eastern Europe wanted to kill me and could not find my traces, he bought her information from the Darkwind Organization and threatened me with her. Eventually, she committed suicide in front of me."

Tang Xiu's expression turned cold. He pondered for a moment and then asked, "What about your enemy?"

"Dead. I tortured him for three days," said Mo Awu.

Tang Xiu slowly nodded, looked outside through the window and said, "Your personal enemy died, but that organization that sold her information still exists. Darkwind Organization, isn't it? Hehehe…"

"What do you mean by that, Boss?" Asked Mo Awu with a moved expression.

"The most fearful enemy in the world is not an enemy you can face straight, but the enemy who is in control of intelligence. If I want to be the most powerful man in the world, then I must control the world's largest intelligence organization. The Darkwind Organization can be said as a latent danger, thus I'll tear it apart in the future once I have reached a certain level in my abilities."

With eyes lit up, Mo Awu spoke without thinking, "Awu is willing to charge through the enemy lines and take the lead for you in the future, Boss."

"No worries! You will have that chance," said Tang Xiu with a smile.

At the entrance of Shanghai University, donning a black windproof coat and wearing black boots and pink sunglasses, Mu Wanying simply ignored the passers-bys who pointed at her and just watched the direction from the Bluestar Villa Complex.

"He's coming."

A smile appeared on her cold face. When the car stopped in front of her, she almost without hesitation opened its back door and boarded it.

"Are you feeling cold?"

Seeing Mu Wanying wearing a thin attire, Tang Xiu asked with a bit of concern.

"Nope. I just came out shortly." Mu Wanying shook her head and smilingly said, "Anyways, did I delayed your business in making you accompany me to my company?"

Tang Xiu thought of Ouyang Lulu, who was now still asleep at home, and could only force a smile inwardly. Though on the surface, he said, "It's alright. I'll still go with you to your company even if the sky is falling down today. Anyhow, you seem to manage an advertising company as far as I know."

"Yeah, the name is Grace Regale Advertising. It's only a small company with thirty-plus employees, though." Mu Wanying nodded.

"Actually, given your identity and your meek attitude, your family will probably give you quite a lot of money annually, no? At least it won't be a problem for you to have a comfortable life," said Tang Xiu with a smile.

"No, I rarely receive money from my family ever since I turned 18." Mu Wanying shook her head. "What happened is exactly the opposite since I must allocate some money annually to pay my Dad's debt."

Chapter 690: The Limit of Being Shameless

Tang Xiu had seen Mu Wanying's father, Mu Jianhua, a man of striking appearance and laudable talents. It was just that he couldn't think it through. Why Mu Wanying wanted to help him pay his debt. Could it be that his business went bankrupt?

"What exactly happened?" Asked Tang Xiu curiously.

"People say that scandals in the family should not be made public. But you'll be my closest person in the future and I don't want to hide it from you." Mu Wanying bitterly smiled. "My Dad is kind of set in his own ways, a headstrongness that is unsuitable to run a business, I may say. He only managed a few businesses in the family, but those two small companies appeared to be in the red every year and he always asked a sum of money from me every year for the sake of his face. If anything, this is not the main concern since the most important thing is that… he has another woman other than my Mom, and children too, even though those half-brothers and sisters of mine are not recognized by the Mu House."

Tang Xiu instantly understood. It was said that even an upright official finds it hard to settle family troubles. Yet, he did not want to express his own opinion since Mu Wanying's mother, Jiang Zhenli, seemed able to bear it. After hesitating for a while, he patted her back and said, "Anyways, you can directly speak to me if you don't have enough money later. Besides, you're the woman I'm going to marry in the future, so I can't leave you by yourself."

A smile broke out in Mu Wanying's face as she said, "Having your promise is already enough for me. But I still think that women still have to be self-reliant and independent. Also, the business I'm doing now is running well with quite remarkable annual profits, enough for my own spending."

"Whether it's enough or not, you still have to look for me first in case that you're in need of money," said Tang Xiu. "There are tons of things I need to manage recently and a lot of them require money, but I can still easily take out tens of billions of yuan."

Mu Wanying faintly smiled and suddenly said, "Back when we first met in Tianjin City, didn't you say that you're very poor? I remember that you made money by selling calligraphy and paintings at that time."

"Hahaha, I was really poor at that time, to be honest." Tang Xiu laughed. "The Magnificent Tang Corporation had yet to make a profit and needed quite a lot of money to invest instead. Besides, I originally needed to buy some cultivation resources and that also required quite a sum of money. No, that's not right. You couldn't be wanting to settle an account with me, right? I recall making a lot of money from you back then."

"Pfft… Hahaha." Mu Wanying covered her laugh. "Never did I dare to have the idea to settle an account with you. You are now a super rich man, so I will need you to support me in the future."

Grace Regale Advertising.

Located in a bustling area of Hong District, the company occupied an entire floor of a dozen storied high-rise office building. The company only had a small number of employees, around 40, but the interior decoration was extremely extravagant and had its own unique style. It was Tang Xiu's first time visiting the venue and it gave him a bright feel.

"You came, Boss. Anyways, Director Wei from Blessed Fortune Jewelry knew that you were coming today, so he brought his friend surnamed Zhang he mentioned before." A slim female secretary wearing glasses and dressed like a college student reported respectfully after shooting a curious glance at Tang Xiu.

At the moment, Mu Wanying revealed her strong and capable side. She took the document handed over by the female secretary and asked, "Which reception room are they in?"

"No. 2," replied the female secretary.

"Alright." Mu Wanying nodded. "Call Manager Miao and tell him to go there first. Tell him I'll be there shortly."

Following that, Mu Wanying headed to her office with Tang Xiu. The office was nearly 100 square meters, and its interior design was very fashionable and luxurious. Behind the half-moon shaped desk were a row of wall-mounted bookcases filled with books and documents, while at the other end were two big and three small sofas with a tea table in the middle.

The most notable thing there was that there were a lot of potted bonsais giving off a vibrant feeling even though it was an office.

"Your office is quite great," said Tang Xiu in praise.

Mu Wanying let out a smile and personally served Tang Xiu a cup of tea, and then said, "I'm going to see the clients first and then we'll then go to the 18th floor! The client there… is the type that I hate."

Tang Xiu instantly realized that that the kind of annoyance Mu Wanying mentioned should be a pursuer of hers. At this moment, he finally understood why she wanted him to accompany her to her company today. It was obvious that she wanted to announce to the others that the precious flower already had an owner.

Inside the reception room #2.

Right as Mu Wanying came inside, her brows slightly furrowed since she found that other than her longtime client Director Wei, there was also the other client, Zhang Danyang from the 18th floor's Shunde Door Industry. As of now, 40% of the advertisement jobs in her Grace Regale Advertising came from the Shunde Door Industry, and even though it was not comparable to the advertising quota from Director Wei's company, it was not a small client either.

"How have you been well Director Wei, Chief Zhang?"

The frowning expression on Mu Wanying's face only lasted for a moment as she let out a smile and greeted them.

Wei Zongchao got up and said with a smile, "Chief Mu, it never occurred to me that this old friend of mine from Shunde Door Industry is actually having a cooperation with your company too. I was kind of wanting to introduce him to you, but I did not expect you have actually captured his heart a long time ago. Hahaha..."

Mu Wanying's breath lagged and she just glanced at the smiling Zhang Danyang, who also got up and said with a smile, "Ah, you're joking with me, Director Wei. Chief Zhang's Shunde Door Industry and my company happen to occupy the same office building, so it's rather convenient for us to cooperate. Anyways, Director Wei, I heard that you declined the advertising prospectus I made for your company a couple of days ago, may I ask for the specific reasons?"

"I felt optimistic for the plan which Miss Mu personally tailored for my company since it was not done by the people of your company's design department. I did not think that the plan was without merit, though. Only, I always felt like it missed something. By the way, I just realized it after Chief Zhang mentioning it to me."

Chief Zhang?

The smile on Mu Wanying's face instantly disappeared without a trace, and with her smart head, she immediately realized the reason why Wei Zongchao was making things difficult to her company must be related to Zhang Danyang.

As she had guessed, Zhang Danyang smiled and said, "Wanying, we are all old acquaintances. It's easy to carry out an advertising plan as long as it is done well. However, Director Wei owes me a big favor. So, when he learned that I have a business cooperation and also am in love with you, he just wanted to help me. We also have reached an agreement here that, as long as you and I become a family, we'll hand over all the ads of his company and mine to you."

Mu Wanying's face turned a bit unsightly, for she could sense the threat in Zhang Danyang's statement. After a moment of silence, she said slowly, "Chief Zhang, we're doing business, I hope you don't bring your personal feelings into it. Also, I already told you that I have a boyfriend already, so it's impossible for us to have this kind of relationship."

"No, Wanying. I still have the right to pursue you as long as you're not married yet." Zhang Danyang shook his head. "Besides, I'm sure you are also aware of the state of the situation of the society in our country. We're a society governed by favors and human relations. Doing business here is inseparable from the human relations context."

"Chief Zhang, you…" Mu Wanying was angered.

"I love you from the bottom of my heart, Wanying." Zhang Danyang raised his hand to interrupt her and smilingly said, "I even divorced that tigress in my home and I also gave her our children. I'm really sincere about this and I believe you can also feel it. Also, we have ties in our businesses, so it could be said that we have a double relationship. You can rest assured that I'll definitely use all of my resources and personal network to aid you in drawing a lot of clients as long as you become my woman."

"Your divorce has nothing to do with me whatsoever, and I won't accept you either," said Mu Wanying without hesitation. "Furthermore, this is my own company and I can draw the clients by myself."

The smile on Zhang Danyang's face gradually disappeared and his tone became aggressive, "Will you still reject me if I and Brother Wei are to terminate our cooperation? That's right, I also have a very close relationship with the other clients of your company, Chief Zhao of the Zhongteng Tiles and Chief Hao of the Jianye Wardrobe."

Mu Wanying's face was as though covered with frost as she angrily said, "Did you investigate my company?"

Zhang Yan let out a complacent smile and said, "No no no. I did not specifically investigate your company. It's just that I had a tea gathering with Brother Wei, Chief Wang, and Chief Hao, so we had a chat and inadvertently learned about it."

Disgust and loathing birthed inside Mu Wanying's heart. Little did she expect that the usually well-mannered and mature Zhang Danyang turned out to be this low and despicable. Her eyes then fell on Wei Zongchao and asked, "Director Wei, we have been cooperating in several projects before and I believe you've seen my Grace Regal Advertising's capital and reliability. We will soon sign the new cooperation agreement for the new cooperation project as well. Are you really going to leave in a bad term in the final moment and give up the interests of your company for an outsider?"

Wei Zongchao smacked his lips and smilingly said, "Why shouldn't I do it if I will get more benefits later just from giving up this small profit at present?"

"You…" Right now, Mu Wanying was really fuming.

Clap clap clap…

The door was pushed open from the outside and applause sounded in. Tang Xiu scrutinized the shameless faces of Wei Zongchao and Zhang Danyang and sneered inwardly. He originally planned to wait for Mu Wanying in her office. But as he recalled how she was quiet and refined usually, he wanted to come and see how she acted when dealing with official business affairs. Who could have thought that he would hear such a brilliant and splendid threat and intimidation?

"Tang Xiu…"

The fuming anger in Mu Wanying's heart weakened somewhat upon seeing Tang Xiu.

Tang Xiu did not pay attention to Mu Wanying but walked towards Wei Zongchao and Zhang Danyang as he then took a seat on the sofa. He then tilted up one of his legs, took a cigarette and lit it up, and then smilingly spoke after drawing several puffs, "Both of you are supposed to be grown-ups, don't you think that bullying my fiancée is kind of a bit too much? Also, the first sentence I just heard, you can still pursue her as long as she's not married yet? Well, well. Don't you just want to dig around the corner of what is mine openly?"

"Who are you?" Asked Zhang Danyang coldly with a vigilant look.

"Who I am is not something nobodies like you guys can fathom," said Tang Xiu with a smile. "If the both of you don't want to do business with my family's Wanying, then take your shot. To be honest with you, for my Wanying to have clients such as you guys, I'm starting to worry about her."
