Chapter 182: Xiao Longchen Wants to Duel

[Ding! Xiao Longchen, after watching the video of the Seven Kill Envoy Tan Lang’s death with the host’s post-production voiceover, feels extreme anger! Xiao Longchen’s Protagonist Halo -100, Host Luck Points +100, Ability Points +10!]

[Ding! Zhuque’s biased stance directly lands her in the host’s arms, shocking and paining Xiao Longchen! Xiao Longchen’s Protagonist Halo -100, Host Luck Points +100, Ability Points +10!]

As Zhuque finished speaking, Wang Haoran heard the system notifications.

And Xiao Longchen, after watching the video Zhuque sent, was in disbelief.

“…You want me to apologize? Zhuque… are you serious?”

Xiao Longchen couldn’t believe those words came from his comrade.

Tan Lang just came to throw threats, didn’t even lay a hand on anyone, and the claim of trying to take Wang Haoran’s woman was groundless!

He only said a few lewd words, didn’t touch anyone, and was slapped against the wall by that woman. How is that taking a woman?!

And it’s our fault more?

This mud-slinging mediation is worse than pissing in the mud!

Now, Xiao Longchen desperately hoped Zhuque was being coerced by Wang Haoran to say such things.

But reality shattered his illusions again.

Zhuque lay nestled in Wang Haoran’s arms, having her hair stroked by him.

“Zhu’er, thank you! But I don’t need Xiao Longchen’s apology, having you speak for me is enough!”

“Y-Young Master~”

Seeing Zhuque’s joyful, affectionate expression, Xiao Longchen recalled his Weiwei was the same.

No need to recall; just shifting his gaze slightly, he saw his Weiwei sitting beside Wang Haoran.

Looking at Wang Haoran with deep affection, not even glancing at Xiao Longchen.

“ARGHGHH—HAORAN—YOOUUU—!”

Xiao Longchen couldn’t help but roar in anger.

“Zhuque, I’ll say it one last time, Wang Haoran is our enemy! Come over here!”

Zhuque flinched at Xiao Longchen’s roar, feeling resentful.

“Boss, can’t you be reasonable?”

“The conflict started because Tan Lang came to threaten and extort! Now he’s dead, can’t we just let bygones be bygones?”

“You…!”

Xiao Longchen knew the lascivious Tan Lang and the stern Zhuque never got along, but he never expected Zhuque to say such things!

Talking reason? Go join a debate club, why be a mercenary!

Mercenaries settle things with fists, always siding with their own, who talks reason!

Xiao Longchen felt immense pain, now it seemed Wang Haoran was Zhuque’s “own”!

Still, he held a sliver of hope.

“Zhuque, I’ll say it one last time, Wang Haoran is our enemy! Leave him now!”

Hearing Xiao Longchen’s imperative, under the “Unwavering Loyalty Halo,” Zhuque felt she had to get up.

Wang Haoran seemed to see her thoughts and softly whispered in her ear.

“If you want to leave, go ahead!”

“Though I like you, I’ll let you go!”

Feeling Wang Haoran’s hand leaving her body, Zhuque panicked.

She quickly raised her leg, straddling Wang Haoran’s lap, hugging his neck.

“I’m not leaving!”

“Zhuque! One! Last! Time! Wang Haoran is our enemy! Leave him!” Xiao Longchen raged.

“I won’t!”

Zhuque tightly clung to Wang Haoran, stubbornly replying.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Longchen understood the reason.

He spoke painfully.

“Zhuque, weren’t you always serious? Why now…”

“One, two, and that woman in the video, Wang Haoran is so promiscuous… why do you still…”

Hearing Xiao Longchen, Zhuque retorted.

“I’m just a maid, what does it matter if Young Master is flirtatious?!”

“You…!!!”

You just kissed him, hugging tightly, and you say you’re “just a maid”?

Xiao Longchen couldn’t understand why Zhuque had become a bare-faced liar.

His Weiwei too, once so gentle, turned strange after being with Wang Haoran, even calling her childhood friend a fool!

Unconsciously, Xiao Longchen looked at Lin Xiaowei.

But she still ignored him, gazing lovingly at Wang Haoran.

In this scene, Xiao Longchen could only look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, trying to hold back tears.

His voice carried a hint of sorrow.

“Zhuque, for the last time, I, as the Hall Master of Seven Kill Hall, order you to leave Wang Haoran!”

“…I won’t!”

Though Zhuque felt some guilt hearing Xiao Longchen, she knew leaving would mean Wang Haoran wouldn’t want her back.

So, she clung to Wang Haoran tighter.

“Zhuque, one last reminder, leave that scum!”

Xiao Longchen took out the Seven Kill Order.

“You’re a Seven Kill Envoy! If you disobey my orders, I have the right to revoke your status!”

“…Revoke it! I’ve lost my strength, even if you don’t revoke it, I was planning to step down!”

“I will never leave the Young Master!”

“You… One last confirmation, are you serious about what you said?”

“Yes!”

“…Good, very good!”

Xiao Longchen laughed in anger.

“Then, as the Hall Master of Seven Kill Hall, I declare, Zhuque, you are no longer a Seven Kill Envoy! From now on, you have no ties with the Seven Kill Hall!”

“……”

Zhuque stayed silent, but Wang Haoran was elated.

[Ding! Xiao Longchen voluntarily severs ties with Zhuque! Xiao Longchen’s Protagonist Halo -200, Host Luck Points +200, Ability Points +20!]

[Xiao Longchen’s remaining Protagonist Halo: 1500, Host’s current Luck Points: 3900, Ability Points: 210.]

He gently caressed Zhuque’s body.

“Zhu’er, don’t be sad, you still have me!”

“Young Master, I’m not sad!”

Zhuque’s silence was because, after Xiao Longchen revoked her Seven Kill Envoy status, her feelings for him changed.

It felt like when Wang Haoran kissed her, suppressing the mental influence from her cultivation.

Though arguing with the boss was sad, Wang Haoran’s gentle touch quickly made her forget her negative emotions.

She responded warmly.

“Young Master~”

Seeing Zhuque like this, Xiao Longchen almost choked in anger.

He couldn’t hold back anymore.

He needed to vent his frustration and rage.

“Wang Haoran, if you’re a man, face me in a fight!”
