Chapter 8 The True Phoenix
“Li’s Steamed Buns on the west side of the lake,” Su Zichen answered, sobbing.
"Okay, okay." With a goal in mind, things will be much easier to solve.
Lu Chenyang then arranged for the servants to take good care of Su Zichen.
With a flash, he rushed out of the villa.
The Peach Blossom Island villa area is surrounded by water on three sides, with the main road leading out to it located on the east side, symbolizing good fortune coming from the east.
To get to the west side of the lake, you have to take a long detour.
Lu Chenyang couldn't wait any longer and sped off towards the west side of the villa area without the slightest hesitation.
Having just arrived at the lakeside, Lu Chenyang slowly stopped.
The voice was devoid of any emotion as it said, "You've been hiding for a long time, haven't you? Come out now."
brush brush...
Several figures darted out from various corners and surrounded Lu Chenyang.
The murderous aura emanating from the group suddenly became tangible.
"So you're Su Mulan's fiancé? Once we get you, we can definitely force that woman to submit." The leader sneered as he slowly walked towards Lu Chenyang.
Lu Chenyang couldn't help but twitch his lips. "I did have a marriage agreement with Su Mulan, but now..."
"Forget it, is there any point in me explaining to you?"
"If you don't want to die, get out of here."
"I'm really annoyed right now."
Lu Chenyang was in a hurry to buy steamed buns for his woman.
I don't have time to waste on these idiots.
"You little brat, what a big mouth you have!" The leader slapped Lu Chenyang with his palm. "You dare to be so arrogant in front of the 'Four Madmen' under the Throne of Destruction? You're asking for death!"
The opponent's palm strike was swift as the wind and powerful, aimed directly at Lu Chenyang's shoulder.
His goal was to severely injure Lu Chenyang in one blow, then drag him away to threaten Su Mulan.
As long as the person doesn't die, they don't care at all whether they will be disabled in the future.
Lu Chenyang sighed softly.
Four Madmen!
These guys have come up with pretty arrogant names.
However, their skills are absolutely terrible.
Even the carefree king, who had been beaten to a pulp by himself, could still beat these people so badly they would vomit shit.
Lu Chenyang casually raised his hand and grabbed the wrist of the leader.
A gentle shake.
The leader felt as if all two hundred-plus bones in his body had instantly fallen apart.
He was like a lump of mud, completely powerless.
Lu Chenyang launched another kick, striking the opponent directly in the chest.
The leader's internal organs ruptured instantly, and he died a violent death.
He then subtly dodged the second person's sneak attack.
With a swift movement, he grabbed the man's neck.
Click...
Another person has been dealt with.
Five seconds later, all four madmen collapsed to the ground.
"A bunch of noobs, what a waste of my time." Lu Chenyang kicked all the corpses into the lake.
He leaped into the lake, his feet touching the water, and sped towards the other side.
On the other side of the lake, in an off-road vehicle.
Through the car window, Su Mulan saw a figure running at top speed, its feet touching the water.
"Light clouds skimming the water? How is that possible?" Su Mulan was utterly shocked.
"War God Su, what's wrong?" Li Qianqiu, the adjutant who was driving in front, couldn't help but ask.
While Su Mulan was stunned, she looked out the window at the calm, mirror-like lake surface, but there was no one there.
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I think I just saw someone stepping on the lake and speeding towards the other side."
"Captain Su, you must be too tired lately and are hallucinating, right?" Li Qianqiu couldn't help but laugh. "Even our legendary master Yan Nantian, the general of China, can only manage to keep the water above his knees now."
"You said someone could walk on water and fly like the wind just now, doesn't that mean they're even stronger than General Yan?"
"How could that be?"
Su Mulan also felt a little hesitant.
General Yan Nantian was a legendary master of China and his idol since childhood.
Even General Yan could not walk on the water as if it were flat ground.
Not to mention anyone else.
After a brief moment's thought, Su Mulan made her decision: "Let's go take a look across the lake."
……
"Four madmen!" Su Mulan exclaimed in shock when she saw the true faces of the four corpses by the lake.
These four madmen are the four most capable henchmen under the Lord of Destruction.
Even if Su Mulan were to encounter the four of them alone, it would take a great deal of effort to defeat them.
Previously, the war department had pursued them for a long time, but had never been able to bring these four people to justice.
But now, these four people have been killed on the spot and their bodies dumped into the lake.
This made Su Mulan even more shocked.
"It seems I wasn't seeing things just now."
"Instead, there really was a great master who defeated all four madmen in a short time and then walked away on the water."
The shock in Su Mulan's eyes grew stronger.
Turning to the stunned Li Qianqiu, he ordered, "Immediately have someone investigate who owns Peach Blossom Villa No. 1."
"Let's check the nearby surveillance footage again. I really want to see who this master is!"
"Finally, have someone clean up the scene here."
Not long after Su Mulan and the others left.
Carrying steamed buns and soy milk, Lu Chenyang returned by wading through the water once again.
"Oh dear, the body has been disposed of, even the blood has been cleaned up." Lu Chenyang returned to that secluded body of water.
But they discovered that the four corpses were gone.
"I must say, the property management in this upscale villa area is really efficient." Lu Chenyang didn't think much of it and quickly ran home.
Steamed buns don't taste good when they get cold.
Watching Su Zichen eat the steamed buns in small bites, a satisfied smile appeared on her pretty face.
A warm and reassuring feeling suddenly rose in Lu Chenyang's heart.
Perhaps this is the meaning of home.
Perhaps sensing that someone was watching her, Su Zichen blushed slightly.
She said softly, "The steamed buns are delicious, thank you, Mr. Lu."
"Silly girl." Lu Chenyang smiled and ruffled Su Zichen's hair. "We're already married, why are you still calling me Mr. Lu?"
"What should you call me now?"
"This..." Su Zichen's face turned so red it was almost dripping with water.
She bit her lip tightly and murmured for a long time.
She called out, both shyly and firmly, "Husband..."
Upon hearing those two words from Su Zichen, Lu Chenyang felt his whole body go limp.
"Okay, okay." Lu Chenyang stood up abruptly.
He declared with boundless pride, "Since you call me husband, I will protect you for the rest of my life."
"As long as I'm here, no one will be able to bully you anymore!"
Su Zichen nodded shyly, a warm and happy feeling slowly spreading through his heart.
He had never experienced this feeling before.
"Wait here for me a moment, I'll go and make medicine for you."
"Once the medicine is ready, I will treat you, and you will soon be able to regain your sight."
"At that time, I will show the whole world what a real phoenix is!"
An unusual light flickered in Lu Chenyang's eyes.
"Hmm..." Su Zichen obediently nodded in agreement.
