Chapter 77

This woman, Bu Fengshuang, means well, but she's a headache!

Fuck! Better avoid female leads from now on—any of them.

Finally, he sighed and nodded: "Fine, I'll reluctantly take it—but I really don't want to."

Around him, the elite of Jixia Xuegong and Ye Xuan all simultaneously grimaced.

A beauty gives you a token, and you're still acting like you're doing her a favor?

Damn it, if there weren't so many people here, we'd beat the crap out of you.

You've snagged every beautiful girl in the Xuegong!

That's just too much!

Ye Xuan gnashed his teeth, furious inside: fucking couple.

Everyone helping Xu Chen crush me? All fucking couples.

For a moment, he trembled uncontrollably.

At that moment, Shangguan Luoyun said sternly: "That's better. Come to my Luoyun Hall tomorrow—I'll tell you things only the Young Palace Master is allowed to know."

Remember: tomorrow at the third watch of the morning. If you're late, there'll be severe punishment.

Hmph, dare to be late? You're done, you bastard.

Xu Chen looked like he had a toothache: third watch of the morning? That's just seven-something in the morning?

Who the hell does the Young Palace Master wake up that early?

He reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Sigh, when you're under someone else's roof, you've got to bow your head.

He can't escape this claw for now—he's got it so hard.

……

PS: Three chapters today!! Need all kinds of data!! The 60 banned chapters—I've temporarily added Chapter 61; I'll delete it after the ban is lifted tomorrow. Wrote too much of some content.

After Xu Chen returned to the Xuegong, Shangguan Luoyun announced the news of the Young Palace Master's successor.

Instantly, Xu Chen's name rang out again throughout Jixia Xuegong.

"That's the top freshman, Xu Chen—they say he's already reached Five-Grade Physical Body."

"Not just that—he's got Protective Qi, Supreme Divine Sense, and even his realm is at Five-Grade."

"Whoa! Really? You're telling me a freshman already hit Five-Grade?"

"No lie—he's already on par with many senior students."

"Fuck! When I first entered the Xuegong over a month ago, I hadn't even reached Third Grade!"

"This is just insane…"

……

Upon hearing Xu Chen had been promoted to Young Palace Master, everyone burst into exclamations.

Though some were displeased with the decision, few dared to question it.

After all, Xu Chen's talent and strength were peerless among his generation.

A prodigy among prodigies—the kind seen once in a thousand years.

Instantly, Xu Chen received numerous challenge letters.

Bu Fengshuang, like a secretary, collected them all and placed them before Xu Chen: "Will you accept these challenges?"

Xu Chen's head throbbed—not from the challenge letters.

But from how this girl kept showing up and now acted as his secretary?

Whenever she had free time, she came to tend to his daily needs—even cooked his meals.

Call her a maid? She spoke with inherent arrogance, and she ignored him when he told her to.

For instance, when he told her to leave, she didn't budge; when he told her to stop caring for him, she still didn't listen.

He looked like he had a toothache: "Why bother responding? Waste of time."

These things were originally the Young Palace Master's.

Now that I've taken over the position, they're mine.

Bu Fengshuang said calmly: "Then I'll deal with them for you."

Xu Chen rubbed his temples: "Why bother with them? They just want to use me to climb up."

Bu Fengshuang pursed her lips: "But they say you're a gold-digger—I strongly disagree."

Xu Chen: "…"

Sister, isn't it because you're too strong and keep clinging to me?

He rolled his eyes: "Fine, they like to yap, huh? Go ahead—crush them. Don't hold back."

Bu Fengshuang beamed: "Got it! I've been wanting to crush them for ages, but never got your permission."

With that, she became a blur and left Xu Chen's quarters in an instant.

"Almost forgot—I still need to go see Shangguan Luoyun."

Xu Chen's head throbbed even more.

He'd realized now—Shangguan Luoyun was also scheming against him!

This was just insane—how could the Palace Master of Jixia Xuegong possibly be interested in a villain like him?

Confused, Xu Chen checked the time—and froze.

It seemed… time had passed.

Shit! Last time I refused Shangguan Luoyun—now she's got a reason to punish me.

……

Fifteen minutes later.

Luoyun Hall.

Shangguan Luoyun smiled warmly at Xu Chen as he arrived: "Well?"

Xu Chen blinked: "Xu Chen acted recklessly, showed utter disrespect, ignored the rules, and deserves to be stripped of the Young Palace Master title."

Shangguan Luoyun: "..."

Her face darkened. I went through so much trouble to bring you to Luoyun Hall—do you think you can just leave?

She snorted coldly: "For such insolence, you'll clean my chambers and organize my clothes."

Xu Chen rubbed his forehead. No way—what if I come across your private garments, like a Red Bellyband or something?

Then you'll find another excuse.

You're clearly doing this on purpose.

Shangguan Luoyun said coolly: "What are you waiting for? Go."

Xu Chen sighed: "Palace Master, we're not even close—this isn't appropriate."

Shangguan Luoyun glared at Xu Chen: "I say it's appropriate, so it is. Hurry up, or I'll make you boil bathwater."

Xu Chen: "..."

Insane!

He looked utterly defeated but obeyed.

About an hour later, he finally finished cleaning and organizing everything.

He definitely touched her private garments during the process, but he didn't care.

If this woman doesn't mind, why should I?

Shangguan Luoyun secretly rejoiced, yet spoke calmly: "Well done."

This would quickly bring us closer.

Xu Chen poured himself a cup of tea: "Palace Master, tell me something about the Tianxuan Secret Realm."

He knew the next major plot arc was the Tianxuan Secret Realm.

More precisely, it was the secret realm the author opened for the protagonist, Ye Xuan.

Why? Because only Fifth Grade and Sixth Grade cultivators are allowed to enter.

Yeah, it's just that strange—anyone below Fifth Grade or above Sixth Grade can't get in.

Ye Xuan will plunder countless opportunities and wildly expand his harem inside.

As for me, I'll just keep getting beaten up in there.
