Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Stop Talking, Cry for Me [3rd Update]

From a distance, Qingmu Village appeared to be in good condition, but the land outside the village was clearly long abandoned, overgrown with weeds!

Especially the villagers inside, they were all ghost-like, their faces devoid of any sign of life, looking at people with drooping eyes, not a single direct gaze!

You have to know that among these people, there are quite a few celebrities, whom people outside would go crazy for.

Yet, Lu Xiaobu and his group have been in the village for half a day without anyone asking questions.

Even when they initiated conversation, the villagers were extremely wary, as if they had seen ghosts, desperately avoiding them.

”What’s going on with your village?”

Lu Xiaobu looked back at Yu Fei.

He seemed to begin understanding why Yu Fei seemed so foolish; are any of the people in her village normal?

”It has always been like this! Chou Master forbids us to talk to outsiders, saying it will contaminate our Spiritual Energy.”

Yu Fei’s face bears a new expression... that looks like... pilgrimage?!

”Spiritual Energy? Talking about Immortal Cultivation.”

Lu Xiaobu’s mouth twitched, this whole village is insane!

Li Jin actually possesses true Cultivation Techniques, and never heard that you couldn’t talk to others.

This Chou Master is definitely a swindler!

”It’s not Immortal Cultivation, it’s Qigong, Chou Master said that all that Immortal Cultivation stuff is a scam!”

Yu Fei shook her head earnestly.

”Hey, this is interesting.”

Lu Xiaobu laughed.

A swindler calling someone else a swindler?

”Young Master Lu, later you must show some respect to Chou Master, he is a master renowned internationally.”

Yu Fei advised him seriously again.

Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and delivered a knuckle to the head: ”Stop talking, start crying!”

”Wuu wuu wuu!”

Well, Yu Fei is obedient, covering her forehead and crying again!

Lu Xiaobu nodded: ”Ah, that feels better! Really, it’s like dealing with a charlatan.”

Everyone around them crumbled!

My God, how does Young Master Bu’s brain work?

How could he come up with such a stunt?!

Prohibited from speaking, simply cries on demand?!

The group continued to move forward.

Suddenly...

Doors on both sides of the street burst open!

Men, women, and children, old and young, came out, a crowd wielding hoes and shovels, and in an instant surrounded Lu Xiaobu and his group.

”Uh... I’ve only heard of a car hitting a pig, and the entire village beats up the driver, didn’t think for hitting you I’d receive this treatment too!”

Lu Xiaobu was taken aback.

”Me!”

Yu Fei was dumbfounded!

The tears stopped!

Staring agape at Lu Xiaobu!

What kind of comparison is that?

Am I equivalent to a pig?!

Are there pigs as pretty as me?

The other students were also speechless!

They were quite scared being surrounded.

But after hearing this, why do they all feel like laughing!

Young Master Bu, could you possibly be any more talented?

Liang Lan forced a smile and shook her head, stepping forward to explain: ”Everyone, we’re not bad people, we’re just escorting Yu Fei home, please don’t... ah!”

Before she could finish, a villager swung a hoe down at her!

The atmosphere instantly froze!

Are they trying to commit murder?!

”Smack!”

Zhang Meng, always on alert, took action without needing to be told, stepped forward, grabbed the hoe, and yanked it away, placing it aside.

”I need an explanation!”

Lu Xiaobu pulled Liang Lan back, patted her slightly trembling hand, with a stern expression.

He could tell that the villager had just swung with all his might!

If it hadn’t been for Zhang Meng, it would’ve been unthinkable!

Even if it wasn’t fatal, it would have been a severe injury, especially since the target was Sister Lan’s beautiful face!

No matter what, this is absolutely unforgivable!

”I’ll explain it to you, you evil spirit!”

A voice came through.

In a flash.

The villagers surrounding Lu Xiaobu made way voluntarily.

And feverish excitement appeared in their eyes, as they started chanting: ”Master Chou! Master Chou! Master Chou!”

Amidst the cheering, a man dressed in a white robe with a bald head walked out slowly!

But he didn’t walk to the very front; instead, he walked into the middle of the villagers’ circle, and the villagers in front of him immediately knelt down willingly!

”Stop.”

With just a gentle wave from the so-called Master Chou, the villagers immediately ceased their ruckus, but continued to glare menacingly at Lu Xiaobu and his group.

”You’re making quite the big entrance, but where is the explanation I asked for?”

Lu Xiaobu looked at this Master Chou with a dark expression!

”Explanation? It’s quite simple, you group of evil spirits, you’ve kidnapped our bringer of good fortune, the Holy Daughter—Yu Fei, and of course we must punish you.”

Chou Zhenlang revealed a smile, sinister as could be.

”Kidnapped Yu Fei?”

Lu Xiaobu sneered: ”Yu Fei, did I kidnap you?”

”No... no... no.”

Yu Fei hurriedly said: ”It’s true, I wasn’t kidnapped...”

”Hm?!”

Chou Zhenlang immediately shot her a fierce glare!

”Kid... kid... kidnapped!”

Yu Fei immediately shuddered all over, her whole body trembling!

Her fear of Chou Zhenlang was ingrained to her very bones!

”Do you hear that? Our Holy Daughter says you kidnapped her, now you have two choices, first, compensate our Holy Daughter and show me respect, 5 million each! Second, we will execute you right here and now!”

Chou Zhenlang showed an arrogant smile, looking down on Lu Xiaobu and his party.

As if he were an all-powerful Emperor!

”Do you know who you’re talking to?”

Unable to hold back anymore, the top celebrity Yun Zhe stepped forward and shouted: ”Everyone here is a star!”

He was always the brightest one in front of others; where has he ever suffered such treatment? Now to be so blatantly defamed and extorted?!

Principal Li dragged Yun Zhe back with a slap: ”Idiot!”

He was furious!

Was Yun Zhe an idiot?

Could the current situation be resolved with just a few words?

Didn’t he see that even he dared not to speak, instead leaving it to Young Master Bu to handle?

Not to mention, did he just voluntarily admit they’re celebrities!

Was it because he thought the other party’s demand was not high enough?

Sure enough!

As soon as Chou Zhenlang heard Yun Zhe’s words, his eyes immediately lit up, and he took out a mobile phone to start surfing the internet.

He began to identify each person in front of him!

The more he matched, the brighter he shone!

Especially when he matched with Lu Xiaobu, it was practically a tangible golden light!

Truly a herd of fat sheep!

How wonderful!

But his words did not reveal any of this, instead, he was even more furious: ”Good, good, good! Villagers, I understand now, they’ve all seen the Holy Daughter can bring us fortune, they’ve come to snatch our blessings!”

”Ah!”

As soon as the villagers heard this, they immediately roared, waving their farming tools, ready to fight with their lives!

Seeing this scene, Principal Li really wanted to pick up a brick and bash it on Yun Zhe’s head.

Damn it, truly a moron!

Indeed, becoming famous too early is not necessarily a good thing!

All the intelligence seems to have gone to his face!

”What do you say? Lu Xiaobu, now it’s not a matter of just 5 million anymore! Instead, it’s 10... no, 20 million!”

Chou Zhenlang’s eyes shone with greed, unable to conceal his greedy tone as he spoke!

Lu Xiaobu found it amusing and infuriating!

He had heard of pyramid scheme villages, but this was definitely the first time he encountered a village of charlatans!

Both angry and curious!

What era is this, the information age, yet they could still be deceived!

Moreover, it was an entire village that was deceived!?
