Chapter 51: The Eternal Ice Mountain Snow Lotus, Art of Disguise

“Boss, where did you go just now?” Li Chengfeng asked Jiang Che curiously as he returned.

“I didn’t go anywhere special. Who’s this?” Jiang Che replied, his attention shifting to a young man standing next to Li Chengfeng.

“This is my friend, Zhang Jiayou,” Li Chengfeng introduced. “Jiayou, this is my boss, Jiang Che, the young master of the Jiang family.”

“Pleased to meet you, Young Master Jiang,” greeted Zhang Jiayou, his face wearing a sycophantic smile. For the scions of smaller families like his, it was rare to get acquainted with someone from a top-tier family like Jiang Che’s.

“Nice to meet you,” Jiang Che responded with a smile, appearing approachable and down-to-earth.

“What were you two talking about?” Jiang Che inquired.

“Nothing much, just discussing which internet celebrity looks better,” Li Chengfeng replied with a lecherous grin.

They, the richsecond-generation, enjoyed chasing after the ‘goddesses’ idolized by ordinary people, finding a sense of fulfillment in this.

Jiang Che, however, was slightly skeptical, knowing all too well the deceptive nature of the internet. With filters and makeup off, the internet goddess might turn out to be just an ordinary person.

After chatting a bit more with Li Chengfeng, Jiang Che sat down on a sofa, feeling somewhat bored. He always found these kinds of parties uninteresting.

Meanwhile, in a room in Jiayin Garden, Ye Chen was meticulously preparing a medicinal concoction sent by Lin Xiyan’s messenger. Upon completion, as he attempted to get up, a sharp pain from his injuries made him wince.

“Jiang Che, I swear I’ll kill you!” Ye Chen growled hoarsely, full of hatred for Jiang Che. Although his injuries were inflicted by Shen Qingqiu, he didn’t blame her; after all, in his eyes, she could do no wrong.

His only wish was to heal quickly and then kill Jiang Che, the despicable villain, to win back his senior sister. He was convinced that by killing Jiang Che, he could gradually melt Shen Qingqiu’s icy exterior with his sincere love.

After much struggle, Ye Chen finally managed to pour the brewed medicine into a bowl and drank it down. Although it brought some relief, the healing was frustratingly slow.

“This won’t do. At this rate, it’ll take two months to return to my peak condition,” Ye Chen muttered, retrieving a small porcelain bottle from his person.

He took out a snow-white pill – the Heavenly Fragrance Jade Dew Pill given by his master. A rare and highly effective healing medicine, of which his master had crafted only five during his travels across the land.

Grudgingly, Ye Chen swallowed the pill and began meditating to harness its healing powers.

…

Beside the river in Linjiang, at 10 o’clock in the evening, the wharf finally docked. Jiang Che and Li Chengfeng disembarked from the cruise ship.

“I’m heading back if there’s nothing else,” Jiang Che said, glancing at his watch and addressing Li Chengfeng. He didn’t want to linger with Li Chengfeng; his little maid was waiting for him at home.

“Then you go ahead, boss. I’m heading home too,” Li Chengfeng replied, shaking his head. He didn’t have any other plans either.

“Okay,” Jiang Che responded and drove his Bugatti straight to Crouching Dragon Villa.

Once there, Jiang Che headed straight for his bedroom upon arriving home. “System, how many villain points do I have left?” he asked.

“The host currently has 2000 villain points remaining.”

“Give me two primary lucky draws!”

“Ding, the lucky draw is in progress…”

“Congratulations, host. You’ve acquired the skill – God-level Disguise Technique.”

“Congratulations, host. You’ve acquired a 10,000-year-old Ice Mountain Snow Lotus ×1.”

“A 10,000-year-old Ice Mountain Snow Lotus!”

Jiang Che’s face lit up with excitement at the rewards he received. He felt incredibly lucky; he had previously seen the price of the Ice Mountain Snow Lotus in the system store.

One lotus was exchangeable for 10,000 villain points, and he had just managed to draw one. His excitement was palpable.

Moreover, he remembered that Shen Qingqiu had a hidden illness that would flare up after a while. When it did, Ye Chen, her so-called junior brother known as the ‘Little Medical Immortal’ from the capital, would come to Linjiang City to treat her condition.

Shen Qingqiu had suffered a mishap while practicing martial arts in her youth, causing a recurrent hidden illness. Whenever it flared up, she would be in unbearable pain, emitting a coldness so intense that anyone near her would get frostbitten.

To cure her illness completely, his newly acquired 10,000-year-old Ice Mountain Snow Lotus was indispensable.

“Disguise Technique…” Looking at the other reward from the system, Jiang Che’s lips curled into a mischievous smile, his mind already filled with various unscrupulous ideas… sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ N0vᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.
