Chapter 219: Playboy

Lu Shiyun, initially smiling sweetly with youthful energy, froze when she heard those words.

The Black Ox continued to ramble on, saying, "My sister-in-law is truly beautiful, far more youthful and pretty than those female demons. My brother is very lucky."

What kind of thing was that to say? Comparing a beautiful young woman to a female demon was rather inappropriate.

Lu Shiyun had a very sweet face; even now, with puffed cheeks and wide eyes, she looked harmless.

The handsome White Tiger stood nearby. As her brother, his face immediately darkened upon hearing such words, and he glared at the large man with a slicked-back hairstyle and black sunglasses.

The Black Ox, slightly surprised, glanced at the White Tiger and said, "Who are you? Why are you so close to my sister-in-law? Stand back a bit!"

He adopted a completely different, overly familiar attitude towards Lu Shiyun, advising her, "Sister-in-law, stay away from this fellow. He doesn't look like a good person!"

Who was he calling "not a good person"? Not only the White Tiger siblings, but even those from Jade Void Palace were speechless. He looked like a complete brute, yet he had the audacity to say such things.

The White Tiger glared, fuming and wanting to punch him. The fellow was truly asking for trouble!

He knew of the Black Ox but had never seen him in human form, so he didn't recognize the large man standing before him.

Chu Feng quickly stepped between them, separating the two, lest they come to blows.

"Boss Black, watch your words!" Chu Feng said, introducing them.

"Oh, so you're siblings. But why are you standing next to your sister? Isn't that where my brother should be? You're not secretly obsessed with your sister, are you?"

The Black Ox was quite up-to-date, constantly reading news and articles on his communicator, so he was well aware of concepts like a "sister complex."

The White Tiger wanted to punch him, but knew he couldn't win.

At this moment, Lu Shiyun's large, beautiful eyes practically crackled with indignation.

But in the end, she reined herself in and gave a sweet, charming smile. "So you're Brother Ox," she said. "I've heard so much about you. Many of my female friends are particularly fond of you."

The Black Ox felt immensely pleased upon hearing this and laughed heartily. "They have good taste!" he declared. "This King is quite gratified. What exactly did they say?"

The White Tiger, speechless, turned his head away.

Lu Shiyun, in her refreshing white dress, looked clean and elegant, possessing a fresh, ethereal beauty. Her neat, smooth hair cascaded down to her fair neck. With a brilliant smile, she said, "They say that old ox fell in love with the youthful and beautiful White Snake Fairy, and it's such a challenge. It's a cross-species, deeply infatuated, bitter love. They hope you'll have a good ending and that true lovers will eventually be united."

The Black Ox was so angry he wanted to glare. *Old?* He was in his prime! It was the White Snake who had over a thousand years of cultivation.

Besides, when had he ever experienced a deeply infatuated, bitter love? Every time he heard that rumor, he wanted to tear his hair out.

"Brother Ox, your nose is smoking!" Lu Shiyun reminded him with a cheerful smile.

The Black Ox was seething. He thought of Zhou Yitian, that scoundrel who had fabricated stories and made him a notorious figure of unrequited love.

"Sister-in-law, I almost forgot if you hadn't reminded me. Thanks! I'm going to settle accounts with that bastard Zhou Yitian. It's disgraceful; my lifelong reputation has been ruined by him!"

The Black Ox howled and dashed out in a flash. He was going to settle scores with that rotten director.

Zhou Yitian was unfortunate; he was about to become the scapegoat.

"Don't go overboard!" Chu Feng shouted, chasing after him, afraid that the Black Ox's long-suppressed resentment would explode and incapacitate Zhou Yitian.

"Don't worry, I won't kill him," the Black Ox said, vanishing in a few swift movements.

When Chu Feng returned, he saw Lu Shiyun teasing the Yellow Ox, who was currently in the form of a delicate, handsome little boy. She pinched his small face and said, "Call me Big Sister."

The Yellow Ox, with his bright, watery eyes, stared at Lu Shiyun. Though young, he always acted like an old man, and being teased this way, he felt a bit flustered.

"Don't think I don't know who you are," Lu Shiyun said, still pinching his little face, her teeth gritted. "Back at Mount Taihang, you were the one who ambushed me from behind, weren't you?"

Back then, the Yellow Ox had ambushed her from behind, knocking her down with a hoof, leading to a rather unfortunate incident. Now, even the sight of kebabs gave her a psychological trauma.

Lu Shiyun smiled at him, her gaze fixed. "You're actually a little girl, aren't you?" she said. "It would be a shame if someone so pretty were a boy."

The Yellow Ox almost wanted to punch her. He extended a small hand, pushing away her fair, slender one, and with wide eyes, began, "About throwing you onto Chu Feng's bed..."

"What?!" The White Tiger immediately became agitated. He had no idea about this and had never heard his sister mention it. What terrible thing had happened back then?

As a protective older brother, he cherished his sister dearly and feared her being harmed. His eyebrows immediately bristled, his eyes wide with fury, and seeing Chu Feng return, he lunged at him.

"Demon King Chu, what did you do to my sister?"

"Nothing happened," Chu Feng said, feeling greatly wronged. Though he had inexplicably found himself lying on the little White Tiger, feeling a softness all around him, he had been completely unaware at first.

"Brother!" Lu Shiyun cried.

She had just been smiling, annoying the Black Ox into leaving, and teasing the Yellow Ox, but now she felt a mix of shame and discomfort. She felt that her trip to Mount Taihang had been the unluckiest event of her life.

"Still nothing happened?" The White Tiger was genuinely furious. Grabbing Chu Feng's shoulders, he didn't care if Chu Feng was a king-level creature; his desire to protect his sister was overwhelmingly strong, and he intended to settle the score.

"It's a simple matter," the Yellow Ox said, folding his arms and raising his small face with surprising calmness. "You just become his brother-in-law."

*Thump!*

Lu Shiyun immediately smacked him.

"Hey, what's going on?" Old Man Lu Tong arrived, looking around inquisitively.

"Brother, stop it!" Lu Shiyun quickly ran over, feeling utterly mortified.

At that moment, Wang Jing also appeared, her face revealing a peculiar expression. Having heard that Chu Feng was leaving again, she had come to see him off, and happened to witness this scene, hearing nearly everything that had been said.

Wang Jing approached at this crucial moment, speaking quite dominantly. She took Lu Shiyun's hand, examining her carefully with obvious satisfaction. "Don't be afraid, child," she declared. "With me here, I'll make sure he takes responsibility. Otherwise, I'll break his legs and forbid him from ever stepping foot in our home!"

Chu Feng wanted to turn his back to them. He felt a throbbing headache; his mother had actually shown up, heard, and seen everything. What a disaster.

"Auntie, you've misunderstood; nothing happened..." Lu Shiyun's beautiful face was flushed crimson by the commotion. Though usually quick-witted, she was now flustered, completely unprepared for such a situation.

"What a wonderful child," Wang Jing sighed. In her eyes, this girl was too understanding; she didn't make a fuss even when wronged and even considered Chu Feng's perspective.

Chu Zhiyuan also arrived, watching from the side. Although he said nothing, he too looked at Lu Shiyun with great satisfaction.

The more Wang Jing looked at her, the more she liked her. Not only was she impeccably beautiful, but her temperament was also so pleasant. She was simply her ideal daughter-in-law.

She promptly removed the dragon bone bracelet from her own wrist and placed it on Lu Shiyun's, saying, "Child, keep this. It's good for beauty and complexion."

"Oh?" Soon, she noticed a crystalline dragon horn bracelet on Lu Shiyun's wrist. It looked so familiar—wasn't that one of the ones Chu Feng had brought back?

Wang Jing immediately smiled and said to Chu Feng, "At least you have some conscience, young man. Don't let this girl down!"

Throughout this, Chu Feng couldn't get a word in, only able to stare blankly. How deep could this misunderstanding possibly be?!

As for the White Tiger, his eyes blazed as he glared at Chu Feng, then looked at the two bracelets on his sister's wrist. He was completely beside himself, wanting to erupt but unable to.

He had seen the young man being sneaky the last time, whispering with his sister and presenting her with that dragon horn bracelet. Now, after supposedly understanding the "hidden truth," he looked up at the sky, sighing repeatedly.

"Oh, dear!"

"What are you sighing for? This is a joyous occasion!" Lu Tong slapped him on the back.

"Auntie, you really have misunderstood," Lu Shiyun tried her best to explain.

But Wang Jing was overwhelmingly enthusiastic. "It's alright, child, don't say anything more," she said. "Auntie understands. From now on, you're my own daughter. If that brat dares to bully you, just tell me!"

Lu Shiyun rubbed her temples, feeling somewhat helpless. Finally, she offered a small smile and said, "Auntie, since you've said all that, could you perhaps give him a good beating right now?" She looked at Chu Feng.

Without a word, Wang Jing immediately went to warn Chu Feng, seriously intending to discipline him.

She lowered her voice. "What about that woman in black you met on your last blind date?" she whispered. "She had such great charisma. How are you going to manage all this?"

Chu Feng felt utterly wronged; there was no way to explain.

Wang Jing pinched Chu Feng, helping Lu Shiyun vent her frustration. "You're nothing like your father or me, young man," she whispered. "How did you become such a womanizer? If I had known, I wouldn't have pushed you for blind dates! I'm warning you, don't hurt any of them. I think they're all good girls; you must resolve this perfectly!"

Lu Tong also came over, lecturing Chu Feng about exercising restraint and not hurting others, despite his youth and good health.

The Yellow Ox secretly chuckled from the side, finding the situation amusing.

The White Tiger, meanwhile, was grinding his teeth, looking indignant. In his opinion, while Demon King Chu was undeniably excellent in every aspect, he was a complete womanizer. He had personally witnessed the man go on a blind date and leave with the "Queen in Black."

"Mom, don't worry!" Chu Feng finally declared. "Brother-in-law, stop grinding your teeth at me. I admit it all!"

He saw Lu Shiyun grinning in the distance, staying out of the fray, clearly intending to explain to her brother once the commotion died down. But this left Chu Feng in a precarious situation, so he finally blurted out, admitting everything!

"Excellent!" Lu Tong slapped his thigh, laughing heartily, and began arranging a banquet. It was not merely to send Chu Feng and his companions off on their journey south, but also a celebration.

In the end, the little White Tiger, dazed, simply ran off.

Chu Feng was thoroughly reprimanded but accepted it humbly and without a word.

Only when the Black Ox returned was he finally rescued from his predicament.

Zhou Yitian arrived, bruised and swollen, clearly having been thoroughly beaten. Yet, oddly, he was walking arm-in-arm with the Black Ox, chatting and laughing the entire way, appearing to be the best of friends.

Everyone present was astonished!

"Little Zhou said he's going to make a groundbreaking epic just for me!" the Black Ox bellowed with laughter. "It's called 'Peerless Ox Demon King!'"

That thick-skinned fellow had beaten someone up and then forced Zhou Yitian to make a major film to clear his name. What nerve!

"Alright, let's go!"

Finally, they set off on their journey.

In the end, the White Tiger siblings still accompanied them, bound for Dragon-Tiger Mountain. Additionally, Ye Qingrou, Shun Feng'er, Xiong Kun, Hu Sheng, and others were also setting off, though on a different plane.

On the evening of the second day, they arrived in Jiangning City.

Should I focus on my strengths and minimize romance, or should I continue to explore and expand on it? My writing speed slows significantly when I delve into such scenes.
