The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

The woman's eyes swept over Chen Dong as she laughed teasingly. "I knew you were up to no good. Come on over!"

Chen Dong quickly tried to "fix his attitude," shaking his head with an embarrassed look. "Never mind, never mind!"

It was fine when he didn't think about it, but the moment he did, a wave of heat washed over him.

Sensing someone approaching the summit, he smiled and asked, "Aren't you afraid your husband will find out?"

A dazed look flashed in Tian Qian's eyes before she shot Chen Dong a flirtatious glance. "You're terrible, bringing him up! Since I came here, of course I'm not afraid of him finding out!"

Chen Dong was impressed. 'Women these days are really something else.' He said calmly, "Someone's coming up the mountain. Judging by their presence, it's a man. I'm afraid he's probably here for you."

Upon hearing this, Tian Qian instantly panicked. "What do I do? What do I do? Quick, go hide!"

There was only one path to the summit; the rest was all woods. There were still plenty of places to hide.

Tian Qian saw that Chen Dong had no intention of hiding and was instead admiring the scenery. She grew anxious. 'Hardly anyone comes to this back mountain alone anymore. People have already grown tired of the view, no matter how good it is. If a man is coming up alone, he must be here for me.'

She pushed at Chen Dong, saying, "Don't just stand there like an idiot! Hurry up and hide!"

Chen Dong raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you say you weren't afraid?"

Tian Qian said anxiously, "It's different!"

Chen Dong shrugged. "Why should I hide? It's not like anything happened between us."

Hearing this, Tian Qian calmed down. 'That's right. We didn't do anything. What's there to be afraid of!'

Soon, a burly man walked up the mountain. Seeing Tian Qian, he immediately grinned. "Honey, you really are here!"

Tian Qian's mouth twitched. 'It really is this bastard. If it weren't for him, I would've gotten what I wanted today.'

Although she was annoyed, she still put on a smile to greet him. "Darling, didn't I say I wanted to come up the mountain alone to clear my head? Why are you here too?"

The man noticed Chen Dong not far away. Though suspicious, he didn't voice his doubts. "I heard there were a lot of people on this mountain, so I was a little worried about you and came to check."

Tian Qian fucking exploded. "Oh, really, Tian Han?! I came out here to clear my head because I was in a bad mood, and you're here looking for a fight, aren't you? I came up the mountain alone! Look at that man over there! We're standing far apart! I think you're just paranoid and want to be cuckolded! You live off my Tian Family, mooching off our food and resources day in and day out, and you still have the nerve to suspect me?!..."

The man, Tian Han, quickly apologized, "No, honey, that's not it. I was just worried about you..."

Chen Dong didn't stick around to listen. He started heading down the mountain. On the way, he did sense a man and a woman "getting busy" in the woods, but he didn't disturb them. 'There really isn't much to do for fun in this Qiankun Realm,' he thought. 'A phone is only good as a watch here to check the time; there's no signal at all. No computers or TVs, either.'

'After all, not many people could endure the loneliness of arduous cultivation day in and day out.'

Down at the foot of the mountain, on the martial arts training ground, quite a few people were still honing their skills. Chen Dong pondered how he could manage to touch every remaining member of the Tian Family, so he went to find Uncle Tian Hou again.

Thanks to Chen Dong's persistent pestering, he was put in charge of serving dinner again, which allowed him to touch many more people. At the same time, he learned that a large number of people had left the Qiankun Realm yesterday. Over a hundred from the Tian Family alone had departed. Apparently, a terrifying monster had appeared in the mortal world. Although the monster was gone now, those people wouldn't be returning anytime soon. Part of it was to stand guard against the monster, but it was also an excuse to go out and blow off some steam.

After dinner, Uncle Tian Hou asked, "Younger Brother Chen, where are you staying tonight?"

Chen Dong smiled and replied, "I'm staying at an inn!" He had already found out that afternoon that there was actually an inn in the city. However, payment wasn't in money, but in Spirit Rice.

Of course, Chen Dong didn't have a single grain of Spirit Rice; he was just saying that to placate Tian Hou.

The warm-hearted Uncle Tian Hou quickly said, "Why don't you go and check out? The inn is quite expensive. Just stay at my place tonight. It's spacious, and you can save some Spirit Rice."

Chen Dong quickly agreed. 'After all, the city has night patrols.'

Afterward, Chen Dong followed Uncle Tian Hou to a courtyard. It wasn't large, containing three rooms: a living room and two bedrooms.

Uncle Tian Hou pointed to the bedroom on the right. "That one's my daughter's. She left for the mortal world yesterday, so the room is empty. You can stay there tonight."

Chen Dong quickly shook his head. "I can just make do in the living room!"

He felt a little awkward about sleeping in another man's daughter's bedroom.

Uncle Tian Hou laughed. "How could I let a guest sleep in the living room? That's settled. Besides, Younger Brother Chen, we hit it off right away, like we're actual brothers. Stop fussing!"

Unable to refuse any longer, Chen Dong had no choice but to agree. He felt extremely grateful.
