Chapter 124: Zhou Weiqing: Watch My Jerk

Inside the gourmet shop

"Cough, cough, let me explain!"

"Hmph, we'll settle this when we get back!"

Yue Buqun opened his mouth to speak, but Ning Zhongze answered with a cold rebuke.

Had this not been a realm of immortals, and had Ning Zhongze wished to spare Yue Buqun a shred of dignity, she would have struck him already.

Xiao Wu's words, though vague and unclear,

were precisely why Ning Zhongze understood.

This painting was certainly no ordinary object.

And as Ning Zhongze reacted thus, Stark on the other side met the same fate.

"Fine, Tony, we'll talk when we get back!"

Like Ning Zhongze, Pepper Potts did not erupt on the spot.

But the more she held back, the more Stark felt a storm awaited him at home.

Only Zhou Weiqing at this moment felt he might still salvage the situation.

"Zhou Xiaopang, explain yourself!"

Shangguan Bing'er, who had never witnessed the might of immortals, now spoke in fury.

Facing Shangguan Bing'er's anger, Zhou Weiqing seemed to have already prepared his reply.

He was forced into this—so he had no choice but to bring out his family's inherited heart technique.

"Bing'er, you misunderstand—this is meant for my teacher!"

"You know, after all these years, he's lived alone—it's not easy!"

"Just when someone was selling this, I thought of him."

Holding the painting, Zhou Weiqing explained a few words.

The first layer of the jerk's heart technique: shift blame—always shift blame, never admit guilt!

And across from him, Shangguan Bing'er seemed to hesitate slightly.

Seeing this, Zhou Weiqing's eyes lit up.

"Bing'er, look—I already have you. Why would I need this?"

As soon as he spoke those words, Shangguan Bing'er, still hesitating, blushed deeply and her face flushed with anger.

"Zhou Xiaopang, what are you saying!"

Seeing so many people around, Zhou Xiaopang still spoke such sweet nothings shamelessly—Shangguan Bing'er herself felt embarrassed.

The second layer of the jerk's heart technique: the more people present, the more romantic words you speak—the easier it is to break through their defenses! (Conversely, when alone with just two people, silence is easier to break through!)

Seeing the second layer succeed, Zhou Weiqing sighed deeply in relief inside.

But he was not yet completely safe.

To be fully safe, he needed the third step.

"Bing'er, since you dislike this, I'll just tear it up!"

Saying this, Zhou Weiqing gripped the scroll with both hands, sighing as if reluctantly.

"Ah, I can only return home this time without bringing my teacher a gift."

That sigh woke Shangguan Bing'er from her shyness.

Remembering Zhou Xiaopang's earlier words, her kind heart instantly softened with sympathy.

"Xiaopang, forget it—don't do it again!"

With so many people present, Shangguan Bing'er did not wish to appear heartless.

She immediately stopped Zhou Weiqing's hand.

"Bing'er, you're so good!"

Slowly setting the painting aside, Zhou Weiqing's doting words made Shangguan Bing'er blush again.

The third layer of the jerk's heart technique: retreat to advance, turn defense into offense!

Only now did Zhou Weiqing truly relax.

He had passed Shangguan Bing'er's test completely.

He had full confidence in his jerk's heart technique.

At this moment, in the gourmet shop, Stark, Yue Buqun, Tang San, and others who had witnessed everything stood dumbfounded.

Holy shit, did this guy actually save himself?

Your damn it, aren't you only in your teens?

You're playing this hard?

Even more brilliant than Stark or Zhu Qizhen.

At this moment, everyone's hearts turned to contempt.

Pfft, what a jerk!

Feeling the stares of the crowd, Zhou Weiqing paid them no mind.

Tsk tsk, you're just jealous and envious.

Has Zhou Weiqing done anything wrong?

He merely wanted to give everyone a home.

Watching the calmed Shangguan Bing'er, Zhou Weiqing was by far the most at ease among the three.

Even Tang San, watching this scene, felt he could not match it.

Yet just as Zhou Weiqing reveled in his triumph—

On the other side, Stark curled his lip.

Although everyone liked to play the same way.

Stark, however, drew a very clear line.

Play is play, fooling around is fooling around.

The one person to truly spend a lifetime with — one is enough.

And for that very reason, Stark gave the slot to Pepper.

But someone like Zhou Weiqing — Stark utterly despised him for it.

You bastard being a jerk is one thing, but you still want to embrace one on each side? That's going too far.

Of course, the most important thing was—

The three of them got exposed, yet you alone saved yourself successfully.

Can this still be tolerated!

Thinking of this, Stark couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"Zhou Little Fatty, is that your nickname? Zhou Weiqing!"

A calm sentence spoken out, and on the other side Zhou Weiqing froze on the spot.

Damn, forgot about this one too!

Inside, Zhou Weiqing panicked at once.

His gaze shot straight to Stark on the other side, only to see the latter looking back at him with a face full of smiles.

Come on, show us — use your jerk's heart technique and smooth this one over again!

The message in that look instantly made Zhou Weiqing want to spit blood.

But right now wasn't the time to think about all that.

On the other side, Shangguan Bing'er's face instantly changed.

"Zhou Little Fatty, Zhou Weiqing!"

Within those calm words carried a hint of coldness, and Zhou Weiqing panicked at once.

Just then, Cha Cha's figure slowly walked over.

"Your meals are ready, please enjoy!"

A crisp voice rang out, and everyone's gaze instantly shifted away from here.

With the delicacies Cha Cha brought out, Zhou Weiqing also temporarily dodged a disaster.

"Bing'er, let's taste the food here first; the rest, I'll explain to you when we get back!"

He said softly, but what answered him was Shangguan Bing'er's cold shout.

Faced with this, Zhou Weiqing was, for the moment, at a loss.

On the other side, the onlookers Zhang Sanfeng, Song Yuanqiao, Zhang Cuishan, Abbot Xuan Ci and the others exchanged a smile.

Fortunately, when they had obtained their slots back then, they hadn't given them out carelessly.

Otherwise, just imagining this scene happening to themselves — that would simply be social death.

On the other side, Ning Caichen, Wang Dadong, Rock Lee and the others were also secretly counting their blessings.

Fortunately they had been poor enough back then not to have opened any extra slots.

Otherwise, afraid they'd end up in the same fate today.

Looking at the figures of Yue Buqun, Stark, and Zhou Weiqing inside the gourmet shop.

Everyone couldn't help but begin to look forward to it.

Once the meal was done, they absolutely had to head straight to the members' group — even if it killed them, they had to see the follow-up.

And just as everyone here was preparing to continue watching the drama.

On the other side, Seeing Ying Zheng had already begun sizing up this next new item's delicacies.

Braised chicken and refreshing baby radish.

After a moment's hesitation, Seeing Ying Zheng went straight for the braised chicken.

He picked up a piece of chicken, slowly placed it in his mouth, and in just one bite, Seeing Ying Zheng froze on the spot.
