Chapter 172: Kidnapping Huang Lili
“Damn it, how could this happen?!”
Huang Lili clearly seemed somewhat doubtful of life. After all, her Brother Wang Yuan was both an idol type and a strength type, plus the degree of soul resonance between her and Brother Wang Yuan meant that ordinary scrolls were no match for her.
Although the opponent was emanating the aura of a gold scroll, it shouldn’t be impossible to break through the defense, right?
Impossible. The opponent must have some kind of powerful defensive skill.
This defensive skill definitely wouldn’t last long.
“Hmph! Watch how I break through this layer of defense—!”
Huang Lili let out a light hum, injecting her tier 4 spiritual power fully into Brother Wang Yuan’s body.
Buzz~!
【Wang Yuan】’s might surged violently, the dark blue scales on his body ferociously expanding, and in this enraged state, 【Wang Yuan】 still maintained a handsome demeanor, like a noble prince.
But as 【Wang Yuan】’s might climbed, Wu Xian faintly sensed an anomalous aura.
“Roar—!”
The next second, a giant dragon roar echoed around 【Wang Yuan】, and then under his surprised gaze, he transformed into a half-human half-dragon form, with a pair of slightly immature dragon wings sprouting from his back, a dark blue dragon tail, and his hands turning into dragon claw forms.
Overall, he actually looked a bit handsome.
“So after all that, you’re just a little dragon person?” Wu Xian’s expression was strange.
Unfortunately, from the dragon clan features, it was clearly Western dragon bloodline.
In dragon transformation form, 【Wang Yuan】’s might was overwhelming, sweeping with the terror of massive waves, as he clawed down to suppress the God of Wealth.
“I’d like to see how you block this!” Huang Lili said with a confident cold laugh.
But Wu Xian and the “nouveau riche” painted spirit beside him were completely unmoved, and even the black tiger under the God of Wealth had fallen asleep, snoring away, seemingly not taking Brother Wang Yuan seriously at all.
Immediately after, a long rope shot out from the waist of that “nouveau riche” painted spirit.
The Brother Wang Yuan who had been overwhelmingly mighty the previous second was strongly bound by that rope the next second, his aura scattering around his body as he painfully fell onto the battle platform. No matter how she struggled, he seemed unable to break free from that powerful rope.
At this moment, Huang Lili’s mentality collapsed.
Wu Xian was just about to tease a few words when he saw Huang Lili already crying with teary eyes, seemingly heartbroken for her brother.
“Ahem, after all, this is a gold scroll; it’s a bit bullying,” Wu Xian tried to console her.
But Huang Lili wiped her tears, “Wah wah… a loss is a loss… My brother isn’t someone who can’t afford to lose. I admit your scroll is stronger than my brother. Happy now?”
There were plenty of powerful gold scrolls in the league that her Brother Wang Yuan couldn’t beat.
But that didn’t affect her love for Brother Wang Yuan.
Anyway, Brother Wang Yuan was the publicly acknowledged number one handsome man in the league right now. That was enough.
“No wonder the old man values you so much. I underestimated you,” Huang Lili gradually calmed her emotions. “But I still have to say one thing: your scroll really doesn’t look great.”
“……”
Seeing Huang Lili recover so quickly, Wu Xian was somewhat speechless.
“By the way, do you chasing idol young girls all spark soul resonance this way?” Wu Xian curiously probed.
“More or less,” Huang Lili pouted. “It’s just that this young lady is more special. The handsomer the scroll, the more it sparks my interest, and the higher the interest, the stronger the soul resonance effect.”
Wu Xian listened in a daze. So after all that, it was Huang Lili herself who was special?
The club was currently in dire need of talent. Wasn’t this a perfect talent?
As for handsome scrolls, he really had plenty here, enough to make Huang Lili’s heart flutter and her soul resonance explode.
He then sent a WeChat message to Master Sister, explaining Huang Lili’s unique situation.
“There are such magical younger sisters? Quick quick quick, use your beauty to lure her back to our club.”
Upon learning about Huang Lili’s situation, Xue Lingling was even more excited than him.
Wu Xian irritably put away his phone. Although he did have some looks, Huang Lili was into “two-dimensional,” not interested in his real-world appearance.
“By the way, Miss Huang, are you interested in joining the league for development?” Wu Xian asked enthusiastically.
“Who are you looking down on?” Huang Lili raised an eyebrow. “This young lady is a silver rank player in the association, okay?”
“Ah?”
Wu Xian was somewhat shocked, but no problem—they could still poach her with a transfer.
Moreover, this way, they could skip the trouble of bubbling up from bubble matches; once poached, she could directly represent their club in competitions.
“Are you interested in developing with our club?”
“You guys even have a club?” Huang Lili’s expression was strange. “No way. Back then, if not for the old man meddling, I would’ve joined 【Tianfu Club】 long ago, to be with my Brother Wang Yuan forever.”
Mentioning this, resentment practically overflowed from Huang Lili’s face.
“Good thing the association has some decent scrolls,” Huang Lili continued to complain. “Unfortunately, they’re all show and no substance, not even worth a hair of my Brother Wang Yuan.”
“What if I give you a handsome god?” Wu Xian smiled and asked. “There will be even more handsome gods in the future?”
“A god?”
Huang Lili glanced at him teasingly, her expression strange, seemingly full of doubt about Wu Xian’s aesthetics.
Wu Xian didn’t waste words. With a raise of his hand, the Sun Star Lord emerged beside him. Whether in terms of appearance or temperament, this truly original Sun Wukong image of his was very striking.
A Heavenly Court true god, the god himself.
Sure enough, Huang Lili, who had been questioning the previous second, was instantly stunned. She casually stored Brother Wang Yuan’s scroll and gazed dreamily at the ancient-style handsome man before her, leaning against the star constellation light array in crimson Xiayi.
It took a while before Huang Lili calmed down and said righteously, “Handsome young man, you really… why didn’t you tell me earlier you had such a handsome scroll? Look at the mess this caused.”
Wu Xian was amused yet helpless.
“Oh my oh my, you really understand us women,” Huang Lili gazed at the Sun Star Lord, growing more shocked the more she looked. “Amazing, amazing. I’ve never seen such a handsome man.
Joining your club means I can have one too, right?”
Wu Xian neither confirmed nor denied. “The key is, this marshal of mine isn’t just handsome—his combat power is also top-tier.”
“Really? For real?” Huang Lili was half-believing.
……
Soon after, under Huang Lili’s guidance, they shuttled through major famous shops in the provincial city, sweeping up various high-quality materials.
Watching Wu Xian spend money without blinking, Huang Lili was astonished. “Wait, why are you buying so many materials? And aren’t you supposed to be poor?”
“It’s precisely because I’m poor that I have to spend the money where it counts,” Wu Xian joked, pointing at the materials in the counter. “This one… this one… and that one, pack them all up for me.”
Huang Lili watched the whole time, completely baffled.
She’d seen scroll painters before, but this was the first time she’d encountered one as strange as Wu Xian.
Whatever, as long as it let her be with a “god.”
In her view, any scroll painter who could paint handsome hunks was an excellent scroll painter.
After a spree of purchases, time was already late.
Wu Xian’s savings had almost been completely spent by him, but there was no way around it—who let his system be so comprehensive and complex, usable for all types of materials.
After arriving at Vice President Huang’s high-end small villa, Xue Zhengying and his sister were chatting happily with Vice President Huang.
“Dad, I want to go develop with their Ghost King Club,” Huang Lili declared her determination as soon as she got home. “This time, you have to support me!”
“What… what’s this about?” Vice President Huang was baffled.
