Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses

Chapter 209: Just a Peasant Who Got Lucky

Caught off guard, Huang Xiaolong was directly sent flying out of the living room, crashing heavily onto the ground in the yard.

Jiang Che didn’t hold back at all with that slap, making Huang Xiaolong’s somewhat handsome face swell and distort.

Huang Xiaolong covered his red and swollen face as he got up from the ground, glaring angrily at Jiang Che, the killing intent in his eyes almost tangible.

Damn it, this guy didn’t say a word and just slapped him. Did he think he was some kind of pushover?

“Jiang Che! I…” Huang Xiaolong wanted to say a few words and then look for an opportunity to slip away, seeing that Jiang Che’s cultivation level was likely higher than his.

But before he could finish speaking, Jiang Che slapped him again from a distance, sending him flying once more.

“How noisy. Why aren’t you getting lost yet?” Jiang Che retracted his hand from mid-air, his face cold as he looked at Huang Xiaolong. If this guy weren’t somewhat useful, Jiang Che would’ve killed him by now.

“You… Argh, this is infuriating!” Huang Xiaolong got up again, his face red with anger, almost going crazy.

His other cheek was fine, but now Jiang Che’s slap had deformed it too. He lunged at Jiang Che, aiming a kick at his abdomen. Unfortunately, before his kick could land, Jiang Che caught his leg in a reverse hold.

“If this is all you’ve got, I suggest you go home and practice for a couple more years.” With a cold laugh, Jiang Che gathered inner strength in his hand and struck Huang Xiaolong’s shoulder.

“No…” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes widened. He tried to summon his inner strength to block the attack, but his body was under Jiang Che’s control, making it impossible to gather any strength.

“Slash!”

With the sound of inner strength tearing through flesh, a bloody, terrifying wound appeared on Huang Xiaolong’s shoulder. His face turned as pale as a sheet, large beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, his teeth chattering as if enduring immense pain.

“Useless.” Jiang Che casually tossed Huang Xiaolong to the ground, looking at him with disdain and clapping his hands dismissively.

“You!” Seeing Jiang Che’s mocking face, Huang Xiaolong felt a surge of rage in his chest with no way to vent it. He couldn’t catch his breath and fainted on the spot.

……

“Ding, the host disrupted Huang Xiaolong’s opportunity, altering the plot. Reward: 2000 Villain Points.”

“Ding, Huang Xiaolong was brutally beaten by the host, damaging his Dao heart, resulting in a kill-on-sight determination against the host. Fortune -2000, Reward: 4000 Villain Points.”

Listening to the system prompts and looking at the unconscious Huang Xiaolong, Jiang Che felt a bit speechless.

Really? How did Heaven arrange this, having such a fragile person as a protagonist? Take the Northern Throne Chen Feng, for instance. Even after being cuckolded by Jiang Che, he could still calmly investigate the Chen family massacre the next day, completely unaffected.

This guy couldn’t even handle a few taunts? Why was there such a huge gap between protagonists? But on second thought, Jiang Che understood. Although Huang Xiaolong’s golden finger was stronger than Chen Feng’s and his future achievements were higher, he was just a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

Chen Feng had fought in the Northern Territory for six years; the two were incomparable. Chen Feng’s mindset had been tempered in the Northern Territory, becoming unshakable, with the composure to remain calm in the face of anything.

Huang Xiaolong was just a peasant who got lucky.

“Young Master Jiang… What should we do with Huang Xiaolong?” Bai Chunfeng approached Jiang Che, swallowing nervously and asking with a forced smile.

He never expected that the reputed gentlemanly Jiang Che would be so ruthless, leaving Huang Xiaolong no room for escape.

He wasn’t surprised that Jiang Che knew martial arts; it would be absurd if the top young master in Linjiang didn’t have any cultivation. As for why Jiang Che kept it secret, he could guess it was to hide his strength.

Jiang Jingshan had led the Jiang family to new heights over the years but had also made countless enemies. Many eyes were watching the Jiang family, waiting for any mishap to exploit.

Understanding this, Bai Chunfeng felt lucky that he did not refused Jiang Che’s proposal earlier; otherwise, he might have ended up like Huang Xiaolong.

“Do whatever you want, just don’t kill him. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave. Regarding our cooperation, someone will come to discuss the details with you later.” Jiang Che said with a smile and left the Bai family.

Having disrupted Huang Xiaolong’s opportunity and given him a good beating, Jiang Che had no interest in chatting with Bai Chunfeng. He’d rather go home and deal with Ji Menglan.

As for the Bai family’s ancestral tomb issue, he couldn’t care less. Bai Chunfeng wasn’t his relative, and Jiang Che had no obligation to help. Unlike the protagonist, he didn’t have a penchant for meddling. Bai Chunfeng would have to deal with his problems on his own.

If he could get through it, the Bai family would flourish. If not, they would be ruined.

……

“Young Master Jiang, take care…” Bai Chunfeng accompanied Jiang Che to the villa entrance, only returning inside after watching him drive away.

Standing over the unconscious Huang Xiaolong, Bai Chunfeng’s face was complex. He had initially thought highly of Huang Xiaolong, considering him a worthy person to befriend, but the guy made the grave mistake of offending Jiang Che.

This meant Huang Xiaolong had no future in Linjiang City. Even without Jiang Che’s direct intervention, countless people would come after him to curry favor with the Jiang family.

A standout tree in the forest is sure to be destroyed by the wind. Although he didn’t know why Huang Xiaolong had offended Jiang Che, it wasn’t his concern.

“Someone, throw him out.” Bai Chunfeng ordered a few security guards to lift Huang Xiaolong and toss him out of the villa, then turned back to the living room.

Clearly, having too much association with Huang Xiaolong now wasn’t a wise choice; it would only drag him down. As for Huang Xiaolong’s talk about Feng Shui issues, Bai Chunfeng dismissed it as nonsense.

The guards obeyed, lifting the sprawled Huang Xiaolong and tossing him into the roadside bushes.
