"I heard you have a Fire Orchid on you, and this young master wishes to see it for himself," Mu Hanyan said.
"What... Mu Hanyan, don’t push people too far!" Yuan Tianbo was slightly startled and spoke in anguish.
In fact, his interest in the Fire Orchid was closely related to Mu Hanyan. Previously, like Mu Hanyan, Yuan Tianbo was also a carefree playboy with little ambition. After being bullied by Mu Hanyan some days ago, he gained some inspiration and set his sights on cultivation. Coincidentally, he had heard that Che Xiang had acquired a Fire Orchid, so he cunningly took it under the guise of a creditor.
Thus, the course of history was slightly altered. The Fire Orchid, which should have fallen into Mu Nan’s hands over ten days ago, remained out of reach because Che Xiang kept dodging and hiding.
Of course, Mu Hanyan had also faintly guessed a bit of this change due to her rebirth. It had caused a subtle shift in certain people and events, the details of which were not worth pursuing.
Yuan Tianbo had been counting on that Fire Orchid to enhance his cultivation and to eventually seek vengeance against Mu Hanyan for his humiliation, but before he could get his hands on it, Mu Hanyan had set her sights on it. How could he not feel indescribably anguished and furious?
This guy is doing it on purpose, simply looking for an excuse to cause trouble! Yuan Tianbo naturally came to such a conclusion.
"Pushing too far? Hmm, I seem to have forgotten to teach you one thing. What kind of people are we? We are playboys. When playboys want to do bad things, when they want to bully others, do they need a reason? Take you, for example, if you want to snatch someone else’s Fire Orchid, just say so openly. Why bother with excuses? Dithering about for days like an old woman, clearly wanting to be a thief while pretending to be virtuous, it’s a disgrace to our ranks of playboys!" Mu Hanyan asked in a tone that suggested Tianbo was failing to live up to bad expectations.
Originally filled with sorrow and indignation, Yuan Tianbo was rendered speechless by Mu Hanyan’s scolding.
Dominant, truly dominant. Even as a playboy, he could be so domineering and confident, leaving the onlookers utterly astounded.
"Who is this guy?" someone asked quietly, as most of the merchants who came to the Nanmu Chamber of Commerce were not locals. They did not recognize Mu Hanyan and asked curiously. Google seaʀᴄh NoveI-Fire.ɴet
"He is the eldest son of Heishi City Lord’s family, the number one playboy in town. He’s infamous for bullying both men and women, feared by everyone. Even dogs would hide away from him as if he were a plague god, and it is said that even little children dare not cry at night upon hearing his name," someone who knew his reputation explained in a low voice.
Immediately, the crowd parted ways. Although they had some cultivation, they were mere strugglers trying to make a living and did not dare to provoke such a playboy.
Mu Hanyan touched her nose, realizing that her reputation was indeed quite notorious. How come she had never known this before?
She was also aware of the saying that bad news travels fast and knew that once such an infamous reputation spread, it would inevitably get exaggerated and twisted, and certainly, it wasn’t something that could be changed overnight.
Of course, she wasn’t interested in changing it. Her father had let her be, allowing her playboy reputation to spread throughout Heishi City to protect her from drawing others’ attention. She even suspected that her father might be secretly contributing to the notoriety.
"Eldest Young Master Yuan, I’ll give you one more lesson. Watch closely how a true playboy behaves." Thinking thus, Mu Hanyan paid no further attention to the onlookers, spoke to Yuan Tianbo, and swaggered toward Che Xiang, fully assuming the air of an arrogant playboy.
"You’re called Che Xiang, I’ve heard you’ve got a Fire Orchid. Bring it out and let this young master have a look," Mu Hanyan said with extreme arrogance. Her reputation was bad enough already; what did it matter if it got a little worse?
