Chapter 42 Peak Confrontation
"I'm so sorry. I apologize to City Lord Fu and his wife on behalf of my father and my subordinates."
Everyone was shocked!
Mu Sheng was so angry that his face turned pale and his hands were shaking, "Sheng'er, you!"
Fu Xingchen glanced at him condescendingly, snorted coldly with disdain, and shifted his gaze to Mu Sheng who was standing aside, seeming to want to say something but hesitated.
"My wife is frightened. Let City Lord Mu's family have the meal today!"
Seeing that Fu Xingchen showed no signs of getting angry, Mu Sheng's mental preparation was now useless.
"Ah? Oh, oh, all right then! City Lord Fu, please take your wife back to rest quickly! I'll..."
"Don't bother!"
Fu Xingchen hugged Shao Leyan and was about to turn around and leave without mercy, but suddenly he remembered something and stopped.
He patted Shao Leyan's shoulder soothingly, then slowly took off the glove on his left hand.
Mu Sheng was planning to sit back and eat, but when he saw Fu Xingchen taking off his gloves, he got goosebumps all over his body.
"City Lord Fu, this..."
Bang!
A bolt of white lightning appeared out of nowhere and struck accurately the psychic who had just said that Shao Leyan had a bad temper. The other party screamed in pain and died on the spot.
At this moment, the originally lively welcome banquet suddenly became as silent as death.
Only then did Fu Xingchen release his hands that were covering Shao Leyan's ears, and instead hugged the little person who was curled up obediently in his arms, looking down at her.
At this time, Shao Leyan's pair of sparkling eyes were red, and his cheeks, nose tip, and lips were covered with a layer of mist, all bright red, which made people feel itchy.
Fu Xingchen's eyes, which were originally as cold as ice, instantly warmed up like water, "Okay, let's go back!"
"Want to go back now? Isn't it too late?"
The crowd, who were originally as quiet as chickens, seemed to have suddenly found a backer. The cowards who were originally angry but dared not speak out, stared with shining eyes at the man who came late to the door and uttered harsh words.
Lu Chuchen originally thought that Mu Jiaojiao was heartbroken by Fu Xingchen's engagement and would not go to the party that Mu Sheng held for Fu Xingchen. As a result, he finally rushed back but found her room empty and had to go to the hall to look for her again.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Fu Xingchen attacking his own brother and was about to run away without even saying anything. If Mu Sheng hadn't been there, he would definitely not just simply open his mouth to stop him.
He must want the arrogant Fu Xingchen to also have a taste of the feeling of being powerless under the suppression of powerful superpowers.
"Brother Lu, you are finally here!"
"Yes, Brother Lu, that Fu Xingchen is too much. He dared to kill people in front of us. You must teach him a lesson!"
Everyone was talking about it, and they all wanted Lu Chuchen to avenge the psychic from the Central City who had just died.
However, in the end times, everyone's head is tied to their belt, and you never know when you might die.
Especially since the other party also spoke ill of the dungeon lord, it was only natural that he would be liquidated.
But killing people from the Central City so openly in front of the Central City Lord's family and his prominent subordinates was a resentment that could not be vented. From then on, the Central City would always be inferior to the Underground City.
But everyone knows how terrifying Fu Xingchen is. Even Mu Sheng and his son are no match for him. Even if he tries to stand out, it will only add luster to his other merit book.
But now that Lu Chuchen has arrived, things have taken a turn for the better.
"Hey! Chuchen, why are you here just now!"
Mu Sheng crossed the chaotic center of the battlefield and walked quickly to Lu Chuchen with enthusiasm as if he had seen a savior, while Mu Jinsheng was left alone there, as if Lu Chuchen was the real son of the city lord.
Mu Jiaojiao, who was originally listless, instantly gained strength when she heard Lu Chuchen's voice. She patted her brother's shoulder soothingly, deliberately ignored Fu Xingchen who was trying to coax Shao Leyan, and trotted to Lu Chuchen.
"Brother Chuchen, you're finally here. I thought you wouldn't be coming back today!"
Lu Chuchen looked at Mu Sheng coldly, nodded perfunctorily, and turned his head to look at Mu Jiaojiao with tender eyes.
He raised his hand and rubbed Mu Jiaojiao's cute little head, comforting her lovingly and dotingly.
"I'm afraid you'll be bullied and cry secretly under the covers at night, so I finished the mission early and came back."
Lu Chuchen kept soothing him with his hands, but there was something else in his words. He looked up and met Fu Xingchen's eyes not far away.
There is no need for too many words between strong people. A glance can make the atmosphere full of fire.
Shao Leyan thought of Le'an's introduction to Lu Chuchen, and his heart was blocked. He pinched the hem of Fu Xingchen's clothes in panic.
Lu Chuchen now has the highest favorability towards Mu Jiaojiao among all the male protagonists, and Fu Xingchen is the lover that Mu Jiaojiao secretly loves. In order to vent Mu Jiaojiao's anger, Lu Chuchen may do something to her.
She has already been avoiding the old, lecherous and powerful leader Mu Sheng, and now there is Lu Chuchen, who is loyal to the heroine and has powerful superpowers. Shao Leyan feels overwhelmed.
But the only bargaining chips in her hand are Fu Xingchen and Le An. How can she successfully escape from the hands of the many greedy money wolves around her?
"Are you scared?"
Shao Leyan looked up and saw Fu Xingchen's concerned gaze, and shook his head pretending to be calm.
"I have nothing to be afraid of. Aren't you here with me?"
Fu Xingchen's heart was moved. He was so comforted by this unconditional trust that he felt light and airy, as if he was in the clouds. He was about to praise his lover when an annoying voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
"Even if City Lord Fu is newly married, he can't just choose beauty over the kingdom!"
When Shao Leyan heard the familiar tone, he couldn't help but shiver.
It was with this seemingly caring and considerate tone that Lu Chuchen gave her hope of life, making her mistakenly believe that the person who came was a kind-hearted savior.
Only when the fatal pain comes do you feel regret.
"Lu Chuchen, have you read too many stories and developed paranoia? You have no right to dictate my affairs!"
Lu Chuchen snorted coldly, and put the trembling Mu Jiaojiao into Mu Jinsheng's arms, and then walked to Fu Xingchen with steady steps.
before.
Two men of similar height stood facing each other as if looking in a mirror, with a look of condescension on their faces, as if the other was just an ant that could be crushed to death with one foot.
But everyone present knew that the two people at the center of the storm were the pinnacle of supernatural powers in the entire apocalypse.
If anyone takes action, the central city will be in danger of destruction.
The tense confrontation between the two people now was just because the stingy and weak wife of the city lord was criticized with a few harmless words.
Lu Chuchen spoke in a voice only audible to the three of them, "Fu Xingchen, don't go too far! This is Central City. If you want to cause trouble, I can make sure you never come back!"
