Chapter 022: Revenge

Without any reason, without any explanation, not even a single question asked, Chen Xiao was simply fired.
This was what reality was like.
Chen Xiao wasn’t the kind of person who cared about trivial matters, but once he did care, he became ruthless.
Now, he hated Murong Zi so much it made his teeth ache. Originally, working part-time at Liuyun Hotel, he earned 200 yuan per day. Including this week’s three weekends, his total pay amounted to 1,200 yuan.
1,200 yuan was undoubtedly a huge sum in Chen Xiao’s eyes. Just because of that annoying woman’s random outburst, he lost all that money?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Under normal circumstances, he would be powerless, but now he remembered his other identity—a water-type supernatural being with a divine soul!
A sinister smile appeared on Chen Xiao’s lips.
“Zi-er, this time it’s your stubbornness that caused the problem,” Li Chengyun said as he and Murong Zi stepped out of Liuyun Hotel.
“What, are you blaming me over some mere waiter?” Murong Zi rolled her eyes.
Li Chengyun felt helpless. This girl usually hated wealthy young men the most, yet she herself had the same arrogant attitude.
Of course, most of these wealthy youths had such temperaments. It was only because of Chen Xiao’s initial good impression that Li Chengyun had spoken up in his defense.
Li Chengyun sighed bitterly and wisely chose to stay silent.
“Hey, what’s this smell?” Suddenly, a faint foul odor reached Li Chengyun’s nose.
At that moment, Murong Zi also stopped. She stood there frozen, then suddenly let out a terrifying scream and rushed out of the hotel at top speed.
Li Chengyun clearly saw that her light-colored jeans were soaked in a large area, as if… she had wet herself. Water was even dripping down continuously.
Urinary incontinence? Could a wealthy young lady do such a thing? Even an ordinary person wouldn’t act like this!
Li Chengyun felt dizzy.
Fortunately, it was the hotel’s lobby with few people around; otherwise, Murong Zi wouldn’t be able to face anyone again. But the few waiters present started to laugh quietly.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and come out!” Murong Zi’s voice, tinged with tears, came from inside the car.
Li Chengyun, unable to express his feelings, quickly stepped outside, took out his car keys, and opened the door. Murong Zi, with a red face and tears in her eyes, got into the car.
Soon, the Ferrari drove away from Liuyun Hotel.
“You better forget what just happened. Otherwise, I guarantee you’ll die a horrible death,” Gu Weihé, the hotel manager, said with a grim expression to the waiters who had witnessed everything.
…
“After all, she’s just a girl. Was my action a bit too extreme?” Watching the departing Ferrari, Chen Xiao stepped out from another corner and murmured to himself.

“Hmph, but it’s her own fault.” In an instant, a fierce look appeared on Chen Xiao’s face again. His living expenses and future tuition would all have to be earned by himself—this was essentially his source of income. Although he wouldn’t be here for long, Murong Zi had essentially cut off his livelihood. In Chen Xiao’s eyes, punishing her like this was more than justified.

Taking a deep breath to relieve some of his frustration, he realized that since obtaining this Supreme Godhood, although he had done fairly well among those with supernatural abilities, his situation in the ordinary world had only gotten worse. First, he tried to confess to the girl he liked, but she didn’t even give him a chance, and now he had lost his job for no reason.

Feeling the five red “old man” tokens in his pocket, Chen Xiao’s expression improved slightly.

“Well, that Li Chengyun is quite generous—500 yuan as a tip. Should I go back to school or try to find another job first?”

Unconsciously, it was already past noon. Chen Xiao hadn’t eaten anything since morning. Feeling his empty stomach, he decided to eat first.

After buying three buns from a street vendor, Chen Xiao wandered aimlessly down the street, looking for shops hiring part-time students.

……

On the outskirts of Jinghua City, Baiyun Villa.

“Nephew Chengyun, what’s going on?” Murong Tianhe, the head of the Murong family and Murong Zi’s father, looked at Li Chengyun in shock.

Just now, when Li Chengyun brought Murong Zi back, she rushed into her room with tears in her eyes and never came out again.

Li Chengyun forced a wry smile. What could he say? That his daughter wet herself in public? How could he put it that way?

“You all, go away.”

Murong Tianhe seemed to think of something and said to the servants waiting there.

“Yes, master.” A few servants and bodyguards bowed slightly and left.

“Nephew Chengyun, I call you ‘nephew’ for now, but I believe it won’t be long before I have to call you ‘son-in-law.’ We’re all one family—no need for formalities. Just speak frankly if there’s anything,” Murong Tianhe said to Li Chengyun.

After hesitating for a while, Li Chengyun recounted what had happened at Liuyun Hotel.

“Actually, I also find this strange. How could Zi’er do such a thing in public…” Li Chengyun sighed. No one would believe that a well-educated lady from a noble family would wet herself in public.

A cold glint appeared in Murong Tianhe’s eyes.

“It’s indeed strange,” Murong Tianhe nodded. “Have you investigated that waiter who was driven away by Zi’er?”

“Him?”

Li Chengyun was stunned for a moment before recalling that polite waiter who didn’t act deceitfully but was still driven away by Murong Zi’s unreasonable behavior. He couldn’t help but sigh.

“Hmm? Could this matter be related to him?” Li Chengyun suddenly understood.

“I’m not sure yet. I need to ask Zi Er about this.” Murong Tianhe shook his head. “If that happens… Hmph, how could our Murong family be humiliated by just anyone? It’s better to execute someone by mistake than to let them go.”
“Nephew Cheng Yun, wait here for a moment.” With that, Murong Tianhe headed upstairs to Murong Zi’s room.
…
Chen Xiao, who was eating buns and looking for part-time work on the street, had no idea that a big problem was creeping towards him step by step.
“Robbery!”
Suddenly, from another street, a shrill female voice came through. Immediately after, a young man in his twenties or thirties, carrying a women’s handbag, rushed towards Chen Xiao. Behind him, a woman in her thirties was chasing desperately.
The passersby on the street stepped aside, unwilling to get involved.
“Sigh, this is reality.” Chen Xiao felt particularly reflective lately for some reason. “But I just can’t ignore it, right?”
Chen Xiao swallowed the remaining buns in three bites, then stepped forward slightly and casually stretched out his right foot.
Bang!
The running man, not paying attention, tripped over Chen Xiao, who then stepped on his right hand.
No matter how hard the man struggled, he couldn’t break free. In the end, he could only glare at Chen Xiao with hatred.
“Thank you, young man,” said the woman who had rushed over, snatching the handbag from the robber’s hands before thanking Chen Xiao.
“It’s nothing. It was just a small effort,” Chen Xiao said with a wave of his hand. He left only after the woman called the police and they took the robber away. As for her thanks, Chen Xiao just smiled and dismissed it.
Just as Chen Xiao was considering whether to go back to school, he suddenly sensed a dangerous presence approaching him.
