“Mmph…”
“Mmm… haah… slurp…”
“Young Master Bai, is your temper still raging? Today is your big day, cheer up a little…”
“Or shall I continue to help you… relieve your fire…”
Dragon Sea City, Prosperous Sky Hotel, the luxurious wedding hall.
Today was the wedding ceremony of Young Master of Dragon Sea, Bai Jinghong, and Fan Ning’er.
Inside a changing room adjacent to the wedding hall at this very moment.
A fair-skinned and beautiful woman, dressed as a bridesmaid with a seductive allure, knelt before Bai Jinghong, moving her head back and forth, swallowing.
Looking down at the kneeling woman, Bai Jinghong pondered a series of events. Finding the situation utterly dull, he pushed her away!
“Pop~” A light sound followed the withdrawal of his spear. The woman slumped to the floor and wiped the corner of her mouth.
Bai Jinghong put himself away, zipped up, and said coldly, “Next time. Today, I have other things on my mind. Not in the mood!”
The bridesmaid softly responded, “Mm,” then added, “Congratulations in advance, Young Master Bai, on getting your wish and finally winning the beauty…”
Bai Jinghong glanced at her, said nothing, and turned to walk out into the main wedding hall.
As he left, he couldn’t help muttering to himself:
“If I’m not mistaken, according to the novel’s plot, in less than half an hour, the protagonist and War God, Chen Lin, will kick the door down and shout: ‘She doesn’t agree! No one can force her!'”
“Then, I, the villainous side character, will have my third leg brutally broken by the War God, becoming his first stepping stone on his urban path.”
“Damn! You just have to mess with me, a villain, don’t you? You forced my hand!”
“The War God is so great? I still have a hundred ways to beat you down!”
…
After accepting his transmigration setting into the novel as the villain, Bai Jinghong carefully analyzed the current situation.
He was now inside an urban power fantasy novel called “The King’s Beauties Record.”
This book was a typical, brainless formulaic power fantasy. The protagonist was his mortal enemy, Chen Lin.
Chen Lin was an orphan with a tragic past. He stumbled into the military by chance, becoming freakishly powerful. Due to some uncontrollable factors, he went West. With his Protagonist Halo and fierce skills, within five years he founded the “Hell Organization,” codename: Hades!
His return this time was not only to investigate his origins but also to find his first love, the heroine.
Then, to find many more heroines, promise them a lifetime of glory, and live a shameless, blissfully perverse life!!!
The villain Bai Jinghong, on the other hand, was the young master of the Bai Family, Dragon Sea’s First Family. A scion of a wealthy clan with trillions in assets and power that reached the heavens, yet he fell head over heels for the heroine Fan Ning’er, becoming a complete lapdog.
To pursue the goddess, he didn’t hesitate to throw over a billion to save the Fan family business. In the end, he merely served as a dowry, delivering both the person and the money to Chen Lin, and even got his third leg broken, turning him into a eunuch.
Is there any justice?
Is there any law?
Why can your five years as a War God dare to slap the face of the Bai Family’s generations of accumulation?
Bai Jinghong schemed. “My fate lies in my own hands, not in the heavens.” How exactly could he defy the heavens and change his fate, overturning the predetermined plot?
“Um… System? You there? This is Chapter Three, right?” Bai Jinghong asked tentatively.
[Ding! The Face-Slapping System reminds you: Currently on Chapter Three: The Angry Return of the War God, Wrecking the Wedding and Crashing the Hotel!]
[The Child of Fortune will arrive shortly. Host, please prepare.]
Bai Jinghong felt a surge of joy. Sure enough, the System had followed him.
The Face-Slapping System, as the name implies, granted rewards for slapping the protagonist’s face, ruining the protagonist’s affairs, or altering the plot. Any one of the three would do.
The System had been with him during his previous transmigration into a Xianxia world, but he hadn’t had the chance to use it before he’d gotten killed. Slap the face of an immortal protagonist? A joke.
This time, besides his own intimate knowledge of the plot, the System was with him, so there was no way he’d repeat past mistakes.
But still, he couldn’t be too careless.
As the Child of Fortune, the protagonist Chen Lin was loaded with author-given cheats, especially in martial might. In the early stages, he could crush tanks with his bare hands. In the late stage, he’d slice aircraft carriers with a single sword strike.
He himself was currently just a Young Master with a Multi-Billion Fortune. He couldn’t directly oppose that cheating freak by force, only through wit!
Having made his decision, Bai Jinghong picked up his phone and stepped aside.
“Hello, Ah Kun? Go invite Fan Ning’er’s parents to the makeup room!”
“Yes, right now. I’ll arrange what happens next.”
After hanging up, Bai Jinghong thought for a moment and then also headed to the makeup room to see Fan Ning’er.
As he passed through the main hall, another group of fawning business tycoons approached.
“Young Master Bai, regarding the last project, we owe it all to you. Thank you so much. I wish you…”
Bai Jinghong waved his hand dismissively. “The hell are you being so formal with me for?”
He couldn’t be bothered to waste words. The War God was almost here.
Everything went just as Bai Jinghong expected.
Inside a taxi leaving the airport.
Chen Lin’s face was dark as thunder. He held his phone, speaking into it.
“Soul Snatcher, you have three minutes. I need to know Ning’er’s current situation!”
His voice carried an undeniable authority.
The person on the other end quickly responded: “Reporting to Hades, Miss Fan is being forced into marriage by Bai Jinghong, known as the Top Prodigal of Dragon Sea. The wedding is in ten minutes. Location: Prosperous Sky Hotel.”
“Courting death…”
In an instant, a violent killing intent erupted from Chen Lin, causing the taxi driver to feel an inexplicable chill, as if plunged into an ice abyss.
“Ning’er, don’t be afraid. Wait for me…”
…
While Chen Lin offered his distant comfort, inside Prosperous Sky Hotel, in the makeup room.
Fan Ning’er, dressed in a white wedding gown, was breathtakingly beautiful.
However, her face showed no expression whatsoever. Her eyes were hollow, like a puppet.
At a past business banquet, she had caught Bai Jinghong’s eye, and he had subsequently launched a crazed pursuit.
Even when the Fan Corporation was in crisis, Bai Jinghong had boldly thrown over a billion to rescue its stock price.
Yet Fan Ning’er had never looked him in the eye, her heart fixated on Chen Lin, who had left after making a promise.
“Miss Fan, Young Master Bai and your parents are here!”
Bai Jinghong’s sudden appearance made Fan Ning’er instinctively feel guilty.
“Ning’er, the wedding ceremony is about to begin. If you have something to say in your heart, say it now in front of Uncle and Aunt. It’s not too late.”
“?”
The two were about to marry, so what was this about? The Fan parents looked at their daughter, full of doubt.
“Ning’er, what’s going on between you and Jinghong?”
Facing her parents’ questioning, Fan Ning’er couldn’t hold back any longer. Gritting her teeth, she confessed:
“Mom, Dad, at this point, I won’t hide it anymore. The person I love is Chen Lin!”
“The reason I agreed to marry Bai Jinghong was solely because he tempted me with profit, willing to offer over a billion to save our company’s stock. I’ve thought it through now. I want to call off the wedding!”
Call off the wedding?!
These two words struck the Fan parents’ ears like a thunderbolt.
A smile remained on Bai Jinghong’s face, but inside he cursed: Combined, she used me and then kicked me aside. This Little Fairy is playing the whore but still wants a chastity archway?!
If you’re allowed to be both a whore and a saint, then don’t blame me for killing with cruelty. “If life were only like the first meeting, why would the autumn wind sadly fan a painted fan? I know feelings cannot be forced.”
Bai Jinghong stubbornly turned his head away, preventing the elders from seeing the eye drops sliding from the corner of his eyes, and added:
“I’ll wait in the main hall. If Ning’er is willing to come out, we’ll still hold the wedding…”
“If Ning’er isn’t willing, then let me bear the infamy alone…”
“In the future, I won’t pester Ning’er anymore. Mm, I’ll make a clean break. The over one billion in Fan family stocks I bought earlier, I’ll also release them, to avoid seeing things that remind me of her and sadden me.”
“Uncle, Aunt, forgive me for not being able to be the Fan family’s son-in-law and serve you in your old age.”
With that, Bai Jinghong strode away decisively, leaving the family of three in the makeup room for a fierce discussion.
The sounds of arguing could be clearly heard from the hallway.
A long while later.
The lights in the main hall dimmed. A bright spotlight on the stage shone down on a pristine white wedding dress. The high-end dress accentuated her creamy skin, which shimmered faintly. Fan Ning’er made her graceful appearance.
But at this moment, there were tear stains on the corners of her eyes, and her gaze held a hint of finality.
The bridesmaids behind her were like green leaves, setting off her beauty, the dazzling flower.
Fan Ning’er’s appearance illuminated the entire hall. She became the focal point.
Every man’s gaze fell upon her, their eyes carrying more or less desire.
Only out of deference to Bai Jinghong did they not openly show it.
“Ning’er, I always believed you would come out. Every girl has fantasies of a Prince Charming!” “You think I’m just a worthless rich second generation, but I am willing to defy the world for your smile, fight against my family, and always be by your side!” “Not like an irresponsible scumbag who casually makes promises and then leaves.”
Hearing Bai Jinghong’s heartfelt words, Fan Ning’er’s body jolted as if electrified, as if someone had hit a pressure point.
In that instant, it was as if everything became clear to her.
Yes, the youthful, frivolous first love of the past was indeed sweet and romantic.
But thinking carefully now, that person who had vanished from her life, whose whereabouts were long unknown—things had changed, and people had changed.
She couldn’t even distinguish whether what she clung to was the memory of her youth or that missing person.
In her most helpless moments, when the Fan family faced bankruptcy, it was the man before her who willingly stepped forward, spending a fortune to rescue her.
Yet she had never looked at this man who silently sacrificed for her.
Looking at him now, beneath his unrestrained and unruly exterior, he also possessed a gentle heart.
Sincere feelings never hold one back; only tricks win one’s heart.
Facing the Child of Fortune and the Protagonist Halo, Bai Jinghong knew his chances of victory were slim right now.
The only thing he could rely on was to dismantle the War God’s motivation and will from its very source.
Perhaps from transmigrating into Bai Jinghong’s identity, he had naturally inherited his affection for Fan Ning’er. Sincerely speaking out his regret in his heart felt much more liberating too.
He thought to himself: Since this Little Fairy can find her way back from her mistakes, I can give her a chance. After all, this woman is truly, stunningly beautiful.
Right now, he just had to avoid this brutal plot point, find a chance to secretly slap the protagonist, get rewards, and then counter-attack.
Imagining beating Chen Lin into a pig-headed fool, Bai Jinghong couldn’t help but let out a sly chuckle.
But the moment the previously moved Fan Ning’er saw Bai Jinghong’s lecherous grin, her expression immediately changed: “That bastard, he’s definitely thinking about those perverted things again!”
The faint, ambiguous goodwill that had just started to form instantly vanished, replaced by a look of disgust:
“I know exactly what kind of person you are. You’re just a Womanizing Young Master.”
“The reason I agreed to marry you isn’t because I actually like you. It’s mainly because you have… helped my Fan family.”
“I can reluctantly marry you, but if after the wedding you try anything funny with me, I can still sue you for violating my will, sue you for rape, and send you to prison in minutes!”
“What the hell!” Bai Jinghong was speechless.
He had given her both face and substance, and she still dared to push her luck?
“I’m already shameless enough. Can you be even more shameless? You’ve taken all the advantages, so you really think I’m your lapdog?”
“Believe me when I say I’ll announce the wedding is off right now, divorce you, and I won’t be the only one losing face.”
Fan Ning’er was instantly stunned by Bai Jinghong’s words.
Is there a mistake?
Why was this wedding even happening?
Before, it was Bai Jinghong, the lapdog, begging to marry her. She was unwilling and wanted to call it off, but hesitated because of the billion-dollar stock investment.
Now, when she finally didn’t find him annoying anymore, even thought he was sincere and a little handsome, and that being a wealthy wife with money and power was pretty good…
Bai Jinghong had stopped being a lapdog and wanted to call off the wedding.
“You… you bastard… Just you try calling off the wedding, I’ll…”
“I’ll what? I haven’t touched a single finger of yours. Why can’t I get a seven-day, no-questions-asked return on an unused item?”
Fan Ning’er stomped her feet in fury: “You’re infuriating! We’re already on stage! I’m about to become your wife! If you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I’ll tear your mouth apart!”
For a moment, Fan Ning’er truly couldn’t tell if Bai Jinghong’s words were true or false. She just felt a wave of anger.
She actually reached out to pinch him.
The audience below saw this and revealed envious smiles, assuming the couple was just deeply in love and inseparable.
But the wedding emcee wasn’t there to freeload.
He immediately performed his professional duty.
“Let us give the warmest applause for the newlyweds!”
“Clap clap clap!”
The hall applauded.
“Miss Fan Ning’er, do you take Mr. Bai Jinghong to be your lawfully wedded husband?”
Fan Ning’er snapped back to her senses. Before she could open her mouth.
“Bang!”
At that moment, a loud crash echoed. The wedding hall’s door was kicked down and collapsed with a thunderous roar.
Immediately after, a cold, domineering voice boomed like a clap of thunder!
“She doesn’t agree! No one can force her!”
“Nonsense, I agree!” Fan Ning’er, hearing someone actually dare to rebut on her behalf, hastily shouted.
