Chapter 402: Chicken Coop, Chicken Coop Again
Lu Chengwen was stunned. He took the stone, feeling its lingering warmth, and his anger instantly dissipated.
His expression softened slightly, and an almost imperceptible smile, filled with relief and warmth, appeared on his face. Then, he quickly pretended to be serious and said, "From now on, you’re not allowed to run around recklessly! Do you hear me?!"
"I hear you."
"Come here, let brother hug you."
Hugging Jiang Xiaohou and holding that stone, a special kind of emotion flowed through Lu Chengwen’s heart.
[This child is too pitiful, yet too lovable.]
[I really hope that this chaotic world will not taint your pure heart and those clear eyes.]
[If I can survive, I am willing to protect you, to let you live your whole life without seeing darkness, only experiencing the beauty of the world in kindness and warmth.]
Jiang Xiaohou looked up at Lu Chengwen with confusion.
Lu Chengwen held the stone, gazing into the distance, his eyes filled with confusion and sorrow.
[If I must die in battle here, I must at least find a way for the little monkey to survive.]
With that thought, Lu Chengwen picked up the little monkey and made her stand in front of him.
"Xiao Houhou, just now brother lost his temper—that was my fault. Uh... this is my first time taking care of someone, so... I often don’t do things well. Because... I’ve always been the one being taken care of since I was little, so..."
Jiang Xiaohou looked at Lu Chengwen, puzzled, as if half-understanding his words.
Lu Chengwen sighed. "I found a cave over there, it’s really fun. Do you want to go?"
Jiang Xiaohou shook her head.
Lu Chengwen said, "You have to go."
Then, he took out his phone. "Xiao Houhou, remember, no matter what sounds you hear or what happens, you must stay hidden inside that cave. Don’t come out unless it’s me or your Sister Xue Ning who comes to find you. Can you do that?"
Jiang Xiaohou nodded.
"Good girl." Lu Chengwen said, "If neither of us comes for you..."
Lu Chengwen sighed and patted her head. "Then just stay in the cave for a while longer, then go out on your own, find a place with a signal, and call this number. See it? This is Jiang Shihan. Call her, and she will come to pick you up. She will take care of you."
"Brother, where are you going? Are you abandoning Houhou?"
Lu Chengwen’s eyes turned red. "How could I abandon Houhou? Brother just has... very important work to do. It’s extremely important. This is an adult matter. You will understand when you grow up. Did you remember everything I just told you?"
Jiang Xiaohou nodded. "I remember."
Lu Chengwen said, "Xue Ning, prepare some food and blankets for Houhou."
"Mm."
After sending the little monkey to the cave, Lu Chengwen repeatedly instructed her, ensuring that Jiang Xiaohou understood before reluctantly leaving the cave.
Jiang Xiaohou poked her head out. "Brother, why do I feel like... you’re saying goodbye to me?"
Lu Chengwen turned around and smiled. "It’s nothing. Don’t worry. Brother is very capable. I’ll be back to get you soon."
"Mm."
Lu Chengwen looked at her.
[If I never return, you will have to walk the future path on your own.]
Lu Chengwen turned his back to her so Jiang Xiaohou wouldn’t see his red eyes.
Biting his lips, he walked away firmly.
As soon as Lu Chengwen left, Jiang Xiaohou’s subordinate appeared.
"Your Highness."
Jiang Xiaohou lowered her head, still dazed.
"Your Highness?"
"Ah? Hm?" Jiang Xiaohou regained her composure. "What is it?"
"Long Aotian has already led his team here. They are very close. The Piaoqi Heavenly King is also approaching from a side path and is also very near."
"I understand."
"And..."
"And what?"
"There’s another person. Very strong. He is also in this mountain range, but his presence is erratic, and I can’t pinpoint his exact location."
"Even you can’t detect him!?"
Jiang Xiaohou was slightly shocked.
Her subordinate had a special talent for reconnaissance. He might not be the best fighter, but he was an absolute expert in gathering intelligence.
Yet even he was unable to pinpoint this person?
This meant that whoever it was had to be incredibly powerful.
Jiang Xiaohou’s expression turned serious. Her innocence had long since disappeared.
"Is it Hun Tiangang?"
The subordinate shook his head. "I have encountered Senior Hun before. I remember his energy—it’s not him."
"Another expert?"
Jiang Xiaohou said, "Keep investigating."
"Understood."
The subordinate vanished.
Jiang Xiaohou let out a breath.
She looked at the blankets and food that Lu Chengwen had given her...
A faint smile appeared.
That fool.
Even though he himself might not survive, he was still worried about me and even prepared a path forward for me.
We’ve only known each other for a short time, yet just because I called him ’Brother’ sweetly for a few days, he really started treating me like a little sister, and he even acted so emotional about it.
Utterly foolish.
Jiang Xiaohou wanted to sneer, but for some reason, at this moment, she couldn’t.
She forced a smile but found it uncomfortable, so she simply gave up.
She stared blankly at the pile of supplies and the phone.
He even removed the screen lock. Was he afraid I wouldn’t know how to use it?
Jiang Xiaohou was lost in thought for a long time.
Lu Chengwen’s heart was almost excessively pure.
Clearly, he was a lecherous man who got excited at the sight of a beauty. Clearly, he was a greedy person whose eyes lit up at the sight of money. Clearly, he was a foolish and panicked idiot...
Yet, why was he capable of offering such a pure and selfless sibling-like affection to a girl who was essentially a stranger?
Jiang Xiaohou felt that Lu Chengwen was full of mysteries.
Where did his martial arts come from? Where did he get his pills? Why did he have so many strange and bizarre ideas?
He could make experts from the Zhong Si Men instantly become Shang Si Men, yet when he himself was about to die, he had no way to ascend to Shang Si Men.
Wasn’t this person too ridiculous?
Jiang Xiaohou clearly realized that his mindset had changed.
At first, Lu Chengwen was just an idiot, a fool, a moron in her eyes.
But because he was amusing, he was worth toying with.
Lu Chengwen felt the same way. Initially, he had no extra thoughts about a beggar.
He only realized she was a girl he had saved abroad, now once again wandering the streets, which made him feel a little pity.
When he brought her home, he originally intended to send her to a proper place—either back home, to a relative, or to a professional institution. Even an orphanage would do.
That was all he planned to do.
But after a few days, the obedient little monkey didn’t cause any trouble. Instead, she relied on him inexplicably, always following behind him, calling "Gege, Gege" non-stop.
It was strange.
Lu Chengwen felt that being called "Gege" by her, after hearing it for a while, actually sounded pleasant, even comforting.
Once, Lu Chengwen decided to personally hand her over to a prestigious orphanage. While driving there, he saw the light in Jiang Xiaohou’s eyes and the sorrow of being abandoned again.
Lu Chengwen softened.
Gritting his teeth, he slammed on the brakes and turned the car around.
In his heart, he thought with clenched teeth:
[Isn’t it just having an extra little sister?! Since the heavens sent her to me, I’ll raise her!]
[Anyway, I don’t know when I’ll kick the bucket. I’ll take care of her for as long as I live.]
Just like that, the identity of a "little sister" gradually took root in Lu Chengwen’s heart. Even he didn’t realize that this root would one day become immovable.
Between people, the scariest thing is getting used to each other.
Both of them originally thought the other was the weaker one, but after spending every day together, they gradually adapted to each other’s presence in their lives.
Even though Lu Chengwen often scolded her with a stern face, it still formed an emotional bond between them, almost like family.
Just now, Jiang Xiaohou looked at Lu Chengwen, seeing him in an obviously dangerous situation, showing an expression as if facing the life-and-death separation of a loved one.
Lu Chengwen was suppressing his emotions, hiding his confusion and reluctance.
If he really were her brother, having him as an older brother would be a blessing.
Jiang Xiaohou suddenly felt ridiculous.
What am I doing!?
I’m toying with him! What nonsense am I thinking?! I am a member of the Jiang family!
And him? Just a small fry from Zhong Si Men, playing with fire without a care!
Even if he won a few times in a row, could he keep winning forever?
The people he provoked were all big figures. His enemies were all ruthless, powerful giants.
His death was almost a certainty!
Hun Tiangang said he took him as a disciple, but what had he taught him?
Had he even guided him properly?
His disciple had stirred up almost every hornet’s nest, yet now that trouble came knocking, the old guy ran off to the mountains. Where was he now?
What was Hun Tiangang thinking?
Jiang Xiaohou became serious.
Lu Chengwen couldn’t die. Because he... was fun! ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Yes! That was all!
He was just a nobody from Zhong Si Men. So what if he was Hun Tiangang, the Six-Fingered Ape Demon’s disciple?
She was only with him for amusement!
Ha, ridiculous! Did she really take him as her brother?
She already had an older brother! And he was strong!
Unlike Lu Chengwen, who, whenever he met an enemy, would run around like a rat, barely surviving with his little tricks.
So! Nobody should overthink it. She was saving him purely for fun.
Yes!
Since it was just for fun, then things became interesting.
That mysterious guest’s level of strength was still unknown, but if things didn’t go well, she would just take Lu Chengwen and escape.
As for the others? They could live or die for all she cared.
Martial artists’ grudges should be settled among themselves.
Be it big organizations or people from Tianwang, if they encountered someone from the Jiang family, they should consider it a blessing if she didn’t chop them all to pieces.
With that thought, Jiang Xiaohou stood up, feeling that she had given herself a perfect explanation.
She stepped out of the cave, in an excellent mood.
...
At this moment, Piaoqi Tianwang had already arrived in front of the small wooden house.
Lu Chengwen hid inside, peeking out through the cracks in the window, seeing the five brothers of Fubo.
Lu Chengwen felt suspicious.
These five had reported information quickly. He couldn’t betray them.
Hua Xuening’s face was grim. "Master, I’ll go out first! You escape from the back."
Lu Chengwen laughed. "They are from Tian Si Men. Do you think I can escape?"
Hua Xuening looked like she was about to cry. "It’s all my fault for being too stupid! If I had reached Tian Si Men earlier, I could have fought him today!"
Lu Chengwen stroked Hua Xuening’s face, wiping away her tears with his thumb. "Idiot, how could I die so easily? Master will show up, I firmly believe that!"
"Mm." Hua Xuening nodded.
Piaoqi Tianwang glanced back at the five brothers. With his experience, he could tell they had been here before.
"You’ve been here?"
Fubo hesitated. "Uh... We... have."
"Oh?" Piaoqi Tianwang said. "Tell me."
Ahu said, "Tianwang, there’s an expert here. We can’t afford to provoke them."
"Can’t afford to provoke?"
"Not only that expert, but do you see that chicken coop over there?"
"Mm."
"We can’t afford to provoke that either."
