Villain : After Slacking Off, The Protagonist Collapse

Chapter 57

“I shouldn’t have been curious to ask you, I’ve only humiliated myself!” Zifu shook his head, his face full of helplessness.

Lu Yuan, smiling, chimed in: “The Primordial Holy Son definitely did it on purpose.”

“Not really!” Jiang Chen blinked, smiling as he said, “This was advice left by a senior in the past!” “It’s to never lose heart in the face of anything!”

Zifu interjected: “Only, this senior never anticipated that you’ve never been defeated, even up to now!”

“Pretty much!” Jiang Chen shrugged.

The Pure Yang Holy Son suddenly opened his eyes, stroking his chin and said, “Everyone says I have a sharp tongue, but I feel the Primordial Holy Son surpasses me by a wide margin. In front of you, I admit defeat!”

“No! I can accept other aspects, but your sharp tongue, let’s not!” Jiang Chen’s mouth twitched; he couldn’t compare with the Pure Yang Holy Son.

This guy, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, and both his name and title seeming so righteous, had a character quite the opposite. Insufferably sharp-tongued, sometimes even his own people wanted to punch him.

“I agree!”

“Agreed!”

“Agreed!”

The other three unanimously concurred.

Even Qin Ershi, who had always been silent, couldn’t help saying, “I’ve never seen anyone sharper-tongued than you!”

“See!” Jiang Chen spread his hands, showing that everyone thought this.

Just don’t muddy the waters further.

“That’s prejudice! In the entire Nine Heavens Realm, I’m known as a kind-hearted person who loves to talk!” The Pure Yang Holy Son defended.

“If you think we’re biased, you could ask the cultivators in Ancestral Dragon City. If even one-tenth of them agree with you, I’ll give you an impeccable saint weapon. Otherwise, you give me one, how about it?”

The Pure Yang Holy Son was indeed shameless, and Jiang Chen planned to give him a hard time to make him back off.

“Let’s forget about it!” Words are just words, and banter is just banter. The Pure Yang Holy Son knows his limits. If he agreed, wouldn’t he be just handing over money to the other side?

“Next, it’s my turn! I don’t know who I’ll face this time. I hope it’s not the White Tiger God Son. If it’s him, I don’t stand a chance, but if it’s Cang Wu, then I might have some hope!” Lu Yuan said softly.

With a round of jokes, everyone became more familiar with each other. Conversations also became more natural. Coupled with the atmosphere of confronting the myriad tribes, it naturally brought everyone closer together.

“It should be Cang Wu, the weakest among them. Don’t be fooled by his high realm; his combat power is weak!”

“When I was three realms lower than him, I fought him for hundreds of moves before he ran away!” The Pure Yang Holy Son disdainfully said. The reason why Cang Wu came out first to invite the prodigies of the human race was because he wanted to beat up Cang Wu.

Mainly because Cang Wu ran away halfway through, which really annoyed the Pure Yang Holy Son. As God Sons, how could he be so cowardly?

“Then I’ll strive for victory!” Lu Yuan took a deep breath. For these top prodigies, facing others is manageable, but when up against God Sons of this caliber, they are somewhat outmatched.

Especially the Holy Sons and God Sons of immortal forces. Each of them is an unparalleled demon, not something they can contend with. Of course, these so-called Holy Sons and God Sons also have their weak ones.

For example, Cang Wu is one, and so was Yan Ruyu in the past. Although they are on the same level, due to different backgrounds, their strength is not as formidable. Of course, Yan Ruyu is different now.

With the presence of innate Yin-Yang Qi, her strength has significantly increased. Even Saintesses and the foreign Maidens of the same realm might not be her match. The same goes for Cang Wu, who has the True Dragon Clan as a powerful backer. The resources of the Azure Dragon Clan wouldn’t be too shabby.

“Don’t pressure yourself! Just let go and do your best, don’t be afraid of failure, Qin Ershi and I will take care of what comes after! Just enjoy the battle to its fullest!” Jiang Chen consoled. He could see that Lu Yuan was extremely nervous.

It might be due to the pressure, which is why he’s tense. But the more the battle progresses, the less effective it becomes; fighting with reservations, unable to unleash all one’s strength. Rather than that, it’s better to let him fight without any pressure.

“Go ahead, give it your all, treat it as an inconsequential sparring match!” Qin Ershi said with a smile.

This smile surprised everyone. Even Qin Yao felt the same. She seldom saw Qin Ershi smile. It was a rare occurrence.

“Brother, you smiled!” Qin Yao, covering her mouth in shock, exclaimed.

“You saw wrong!” Qin Ershi’s expression immediately turned cold.

“I did not see wrong, you did smile! Why do you deny it, brother!” Qin Yao continued.

“No!” Qin Ershi was somewhat helpless and a bit annoyed. Just a smile, why make a big fuss about it.

“You clearly did!” Qin Yao felt a bit wronged, she clearly saw it. Why would her brother deny it?

“Alright, alright, I admit it, my little ancestor!” Seeing Qin Yao almost in tears, Qin Ershi gave in. He quickly comforted her.

Watching this scene, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh. “Even the cold-faced king of hell can only be cured by Qin Yao, the love brain!”

In the original plot, Qin Ershi is depicted as an exceptional prodigy with a cold nature and astonishing methods. Due to his perennially cold expression and his ruthlessness in killing, earning him the nickname of the cold-faced king of hell.

And Qin Ershi is like this with everyone, even towards his own father, the Emperor of Great Qin, making many people wonder if Qin Ershi is devoid of emotions.

However, they do not know that it’s not that Qin Ershi lacks emotions, but rather, he only shows them in front of Qin Yao. Only in front of Qin Yao can Qin Ershi experience the feeling of being human.

“This Jiang Chen is making things up about me again! You’re the love brain, your whole family are love brains!” Qin Yao felt extremely wronged; she hadn’t done anything to Jiang Chen.

Why does Jiang Chen dislike her so much, making things up about her? And those things never happened, how could she be labeled as a love brain? And what even is a love brain?

This is the most annoying thing to Qin Yao. Although she knows it’s not something positive, she doesn’t understand its meaning. It’s like knowing someone is cursing you, but not knowing what they are cursing you for. This leaves one feeling both angry and helpless.

Compared to the laughter and joy on the human side, the atmosphere among the ancient imperial clans was tense, the air seemed to have cooled down.

“Next, you go!” The White Tiger God Son glanced at Cang Wu and said indifferently. Upon hearing this.

(TL: Sorry for Qin the Second it is now Qin Ershi had to fix it. Well Qin Ershi means Qin The Second in English but Qin Ershi sounds better and shorter.)
