"Please, heroine, stop coming over!

The War God, Long Aotian, was genuinely ready to take action.

This was his chance to showcase his strength!

But that damn Lu Chengwen, why… why wasn't he acting arrogant with him?

He was pulling and tugging, single-handedly holding back a dozen of his subordinates, sweating profusely and struggling. Why bother?

Just let them come at me, I beg you!

I'm so desperate for this wave of experience points!

If I don't grind this out today, I won't be able to wrap things up properly!

Lu Chengwen had also made up his mind.

[I absolutely cannot let you grind experience points! No way, not today!]

[In the future, you'll be the heavens, you'll be a god, whatever you say goes, I won't argue with you.]

[If you can take Leng Qingqiu away, go ahead. If you can't, that's your own fault. Just don't mess with me!]

Long Aotian was going crazy.

"Uh… Young Master Lu, do you have some kind of issue with me?"

Lu Chengwen finally managed to calm everyone down, spreading his arms to block a group of bodyguards:

"No, no! I'm fine, I'm great! I think you and Qingqiu are a perfect match. When you get married, send me an invitation, I'll bring a gift!"

Long Aotian was bursting with energy but had nowhere to direct it, pacing around anxiously:

"How about you let them come at me? After all, they're standing up for you."

"No, no, don't worry. With me here today, not a single one of them will get past!"

Lu Chengwen turned and shouted at the bodyguards: "If anyone moves, I'll kill them!"

Leng Qingqiu had also realized that Lu Chengwen seemed to genuinely have some ability to predict the future.

And now, the whole situation had taken on a completely different tone.

It now appeared that Lu Chengwen was solely focused on keeping the peace, while Long Aotian seemed intent on stirring up trouble, wanting to create a big scene.

Leng Qingqiu had seen through Long Aotian's facade and angrily said, "Long Aotian, that's enough! Get out! Leave now! Otherwise, I'll call the police!"

Long Aotian's face turned ashen.

He, the mighty War God who had returned, had never been humiliated like this, not even in the outer territories.

To think he would suffer such disgrace today!

"Fine! I'll leave. But Qingqiu, please believe that no matter when or where, no matter what danger you face, I will stand up for you, even if it means going against the entire world!"

Leng Qingqiu, holding back her disgust, pointed and said, "Just leave."

Long Aotian had nothing more to say.

His face was almost black with anger as he turned and glared fiercely at Lu Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen, on the verge of tears, cautiously said, "It's really not my fault, I… I don't get it either. You… must be really frustrated, huh?"

Long Aotian snorted and left with a dark expression.

Lu Chengwen almost threw up in the bathroom.

After several rounds of transmigration, he had summarized the three iron laws of surviving as a villain.

**First**, never act arrogant or confront the protagonist. That's the fastest way to die.

What kind of person is the protagonist? Can he tolerate you showing off in front of him? Even if you don't provoke him, he'll want to take you down. If you do provoke him… he'll destroy you.

**Second**, never touch the protagonist's women. Stay as far away from them as possible. Those brainless women are toxic. When the protagonist kills you, they'll just clap and praise him for being heroic, then throw themselves into his arms.

**Third**, never do anything evil.

If the protagonist sees you doing something bad, well, congratulations. You've just become his experience pack, contributing a small part to his grand journey of showing off.

*Ding!*

System notification:

"Dear host! Congratulations on completing the initial survival test phase, difficulty level one star. We've prepared a first-phase reward for you, dear!"

Lu Chengwen: "What's the reward?"

"We're rewarding you with a sports car, dear!"

Lu Chengwen's eyes widened: "Are you kidding me? I'm the eldest son of the Lu family, the top of the four major families in Snow City, the one in charge of the Lu Feng Group! I just narrowly escaped death at the hands of that beast Long Aotian, and you're rewarding me with a luxury car?"

"Host, don't get too excited. This luxury car is quite special, dear!"

"What's so special about it?" Lu Chengwen shouted.

"This sports car has a full four wheels, dear!"

"You son of a…"

Lu Chengwen suppressed his anger: "What's going on with that damn girl Leng Qingqiu? According to the plot, shouldn't she have left with the War God? What's this all about now?"

"We don't have detailed information about Qingqiu's situation at the moment. If you want to know more, please initiate a conversation with her, dear."

"Talk to her? Long Aotian's look just now was practically screaming that he wants to strangle me!" Lu Chengwen was on the verge of a breakdown.

After venting, Lu Chengwen quickly backed down: "Please, think of a way to get them back together. If this keeps up, I'm going to be played to death by you guys!"

"Dear host, please don't worry. The feedback we're getting is that we do indeed want to play you to death, dear!"

"You bastards—!"

…

In Lu Guanghong's study.

Lu Guanghong sat with a stern expression: "Sit."

Lu Chengwen nervously took a seat.

"Explain yourself. What are you scheming this time?"

"Nothing," Lu Chengwen replied, confused.

"Hmph! You think you can fool me? I know exactly what kind of person you are!" Lu Guanghong said authoritatively. "Listen up! You better straighten up and treat Qingqiu well, or I won't let you off easy."

Lu Chengwen said, "She won't marry me. Everyone in Snow City knows how much she dislikes me."

"Then why did she suddenly do a complete 180 and agree to the marriage alliance today?"

"I really don't know! I'm just as confused as you are!"

"Then why did you suddenly put on airs and refuse the marriage alliance?"

"I… have a big heart full of love!"

Lu Guanghong narrowed his eyes: "You're really becoming more and more shameless."

Lu Chengwen was too depressed to even speak.

"Take a gift with you. Later, go visit your godfather."

Lu Chengwen was startled: "My godfather?"

Oh, right.

The basic framework of this book:

Snow City has four major families: Lu, Chen, Xu, and Leng.

Among them, the Lu family is the most powerful, followed by the Chen and Xu families. The Leng family had been struggling in recent years and was on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, Leng Qingqiu took over in adversity and, after two years of hard work, turned things around, stabilizing the Leng family and preventing total bankruptcy.

Therefore, the Leng family was very eager for a marriage alliance.

The Leng family wasn't unaware of Lu Chengwen's character, but in Snow City, the only family with both the ability and willingness to save the Leng family was the Lu family.

So, for the sake of family interests, they had no choice but to agree to the marriage alliance.

Deep down, they actually looked down on Lu Chengwen.

This was the frustrating part of this book.

His villain persona was almost perfect: tall, handsome, wealthy, successful at a young age, talented, leading the Lu Feng Group through challenges and dominating the business world.

But despite being at the top of the human food chain in the real world, he was somehow the lapdog of the female protagonist, Leng Qingqiu.

Everything was set up to make the protagonist's triumph over him even more satisfying.

The more outstanding the villain, the more satisfying it is for the protagonist to defeat him, right?

For Leng Qingqiu, he had used his powerful background to act arrogantly in front of the protagonist, only to be humiliated, beaten, and eventually killed by the protagonist…

This was the fate of his perfect little villain.

To survive, he had to avoid all conflict with the protagonist.

The primary conflict was his relationship with Leng Qingqiu.

He had to stay as far away from her as possible.

As long as he made it through the finale, he could return to reality with rich rewards, become a tall, rich, and handsome man, marry a beautiful woman, and reach the pinnacle of life!

He could even cure his mother's illness.

The Lu family had been operating in Snow City for a long time and had good relationships with the Chen, Xu, and Leng families.

Especially with the Chen family's patriarch, Lu Guanghong had even taken him as his godfather, making him Lu Chengwen's god-grandfather.

Recently, Godfather Chen Qiusou had been bedridden, and everyone in the Lu family had visited him except for Lu Chengwen, who had been too busy playing around.

Bring a gift, say hello, and then get out of there as fast as possible!

Yes, that's the plan!

As soon as he stepped out, he saw the big guy he had restrained at the engagement banquet organizing a group of men.

The big guy, Zhao Gang, was furious: "Is everyone here?"

Over thirty bodyguards stood in rows and shouted: "Yes!"

"Good!"

Zhao Gang, still seething, said with a dark expression: "Young Master Lu's engagement ceremony was ruined by that guy Long Aotian! Can we swallow this insult?"

The crowd shouted: "No!"

"That's right! Young Master Lu is our boss. In Snow City, only Young Master Lu can bully men and dominate women, commit all kinds of evil deeds. No one can bully Young Master Lu!"

The crowd raised their fists and shouted: "Bully men! Dominate women! Commit evil deeds! Bully men! Dominate women! Commit evil deeds!"

Zhao Gang gracefully raised his hand, and everyone immediately fell silent, perfectly in sync.

"So! We're going to find Long Aotian, beat him up, and reclaim Young Master Lu's honor!"

"Find Long Aotian! Beat him up! Bully men! Dominate women! Commit evil deeds! Bully men! Dominate women! Commit evil deeds…"

Lu Chengwen rushed over and grabbed Zhao Gang: "What are you doing?"

"Oh! Young Master Lu, you're here!" Zhao Gang said excitedly. "Young Master Lu, I have nine ways to destroy that Long Aotian, nine! Just leave it to me!"

Lu Chengwen kicked him in the butt: "Do you have nothing better to do?"

Lu Chengwen looked at the thirty-plus fit young men: "From now on, don't shout things like 'bully men and dominate women' so loudly. Do I not need to maintain any dignity?"

Zhao Gang scratched his head, confused: "Young Master Lu, you used to be… not very concerned about dignity."

Lu Chengwen, trembling with anger, said, "Well, I care about dignity now, okay?"

"Oh!" Zhao Gang said loudly, "Did everyone hear that? From now on, our Young Master Lu wants to be a saint while still acting like a scoundrel! Understand the spirit!"

The crowd raised their fists and shouted: "Be a saint! Act like a scoundrel! Be a saint! Act like a scoundrel!"

Lu Chengwen roared: "Get out! All of you, get out!"

One guy, still muttering under his breath as he walked away, raised his fist: "Be a saint… act like a scoundrel…"

Lu Chengwen lunged at him: "You little brat, don't you dare leave! I'm going to fight you today!"

Zhao Gang held him back: "Hey, hey, Young Master Lu, Young Master Lu, this is all according to your instructions. Everyone's just used to it."

Lu Chengwen, panting, said, "You trained them?"

"Yeah, don't worry. I understand what you mean. That beggar Long Aotian, I'm going to…"

Lu Chengwen grabbed him: "Zhao Gang."

"Young Master Lu."

"We're brothers."

Lu Chengwen spoke sincerely.

He had no choice. He could see that this brute was too reckless.

And he was stubborn, impossible to reason with. No matter what you said, he wouldn't understand.

The key was that if he kept acting like this, all the blame would fall on Lu Chengwen, and Long Aotian would still end up killing him.

So, he had no choice but to coax and deceive him.

Zhao Gang was moved to tears: "Young Master Lu, I'm not worthy. I'm just a…"

Lu Chengwen said, "If we're brothers, don't come after me! Listen, from now on, don't provoke that Long Aotian. Tell everyone to avoid him at all costs. Understand?"

"Why?"

Zhao Gang said, "I don't get it."
