Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 80 - 80 80 Lew Qing_1

80: Chapter 80 Lew Qing_1 80: Chapter 80 Lew Qing_1 The gathered reporters immediately had the cameramen aim their cameras at the brawny man.

The brawny man recited verbatim, “It was Eldest Young Master Xiao of the Xiao family and Lew Qingqing of Lotus Beauty Cosmetics who instructed me to come to the Hanging Gourd Medical Hall and pretend to be dead, to defame Miracle Doctor Lu by accusing him of killing someone through treatment.

This was in order to ruin the reputation of the Hanging Gourd Medical Hall, so their elixir pills would not sell, and their own products could better seize the market.”

Everyone was completely shocked.

“To actually pretend to be dead, we almost misunderstood Miracle Doctor Lu.”

“The two of them are too despicable, resorting to such unscrupulous means for business competition!”

“It’s understandable for the Xiao family to target the Hanging Gourd Medical Hall, but why would Lotus Beauty Cosmetics get involved too?”

“Don’t you know?

The Youthfulness Retention Pill that has been a huge hit recently is said to come from the Hanging Gourd Medical Hall!”

Many people suddenly realized.

“This is just too shameless, not capable of developing good products themselves, so they resort to persecuting their peers.

It’s truly an ugly sight!”

“Reporters must expose their vile faces and clear the Hanging Gourd Medical Hall’s name!”

…

Xiao Yun rushed to the front of the cameras, frantically shouting, “What are you still filming for?

Cut it off now!

The content captured today is not allowed to make the news!”

A reporter said with an embarrassed face, “Young Master Xiao, this is a live broadcast, which you specifically requested!”

Xiao Yun’s expression froze, and he was dumbfounded.

Although the reporters present had taken money, since it was a live broadcast, they definitely did not dare to speak for Xiao Yun, and reporting the truth could also save them from being scolded along with him.

Lew Qingqing angrily glared at Xiao Yun, “I must have been out of my mind to collaborate with a fool like you.

Don’t contact me ever again!”

She then turned her head and looked at Lu Chuan viciously, “And you, just wait, I will definitely avenge this!”

After saying that, she hurriedly left the medical hall.

Xiao Yun looked at Lu Chuan furiously, “Lu Chuan, you bastard, I’ll settle our score later, I definitely won’t let you off!”

Following that, he quickly made his escape.

Lu Chuan removed the remaining silver needles from the brawny man’s body and only let him go after he showed deep regret in front of everyone.

After the reporters finished their coverage, they all left the medical hall.

The main hall returned to calm once again.

Mu Nanqing came up to Lu Chuan with a complicated expression, “These people’s hearts are really too dark, using such methods to deal with us.”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “This time they caused their own downfall, which is actually a good thing for us.”

“After this incident, Jerry Pharmaceuticals and Lotus Beauty Cosmetics have been discredited, while our Hanging Gourd Medical Hall will become even more trustworthy.

Their stirring up this commotion has turned out not so bad after all.”

Mu Nanqing smiled and nodded, “Ultimately, it’s all thanks to Xiaochuan’s strength!”

That very afternoon, the news that Jerry Pharmaceuticals and Lotus Beauty Cosmetics had gone to the extent of faking a death to defame Lu Chuan, claiming he killed someone with his treatment, made the headlines.

This incident was far more reprehensible than the previous challenge.

Jerry Pharmaceuticals and Lotus Beauty Cosmetics instantly became the targets of public outrage.

Overnight, the sales of products from both companies plummeted to an all-time low.

Many companies that had partnerships with them, worried about their reputations, promptly terminated their cooperation.

Jerry Pharmaceuticals lost its leading position in Cloud City’s pharmaceutical industry overnight, and the company plunged into a debt crisis when their partners terminated their contracts on a large scale.

As for Lotus Beauty Cosmetics, even less needed to be said, they completely lost the chance to compete with Blooming Beauty, their previous plans to go public evaporated, and sensing the crisis, there was mass resignation among the staff, leaving the whole company on the brink of falling apart.

…

Jerry Pharmaceuticals.

Chairman’s office.

Xiao Shan threw the water cup in his hand to the ground, tore up all the documents on his desk, and smashed the computer monitor to smithereens.

Xiao Yun, with a fearful expression, kept his head down and dared not speak.

“Xiao Yun, what a great son you are!

I entrusted you with such an important matter for the company, and this is how you repay me!”

“Now, the medicine can’t be sold, and all the partners have been scared away.

We might as well just declare bankruptcy!”

Xiao Yun quickly said, “Dad, actually, there’s still a chance for us to turn things around this time.”

Xiao Shan calmed himself and asked, “You joined forces with Lew Qingqing and still lost so terribly, what chance do we have?”

Xiao Yun grinned, “Dad, the fact is, I allied with Lew Qingqing with this possibility of failure in mind.”

Xiao Shan looked puzzled, “What do you mean?”

Xiao Yun explained, “Dad, Lew Qingqing’s Lotus Beauty Cosmetics is quite well-known in Cloud City, but she also has an even more famous brother, right?”

“Are you talking about Lew Qing?” Xiao Shan asked.

Xiao Yun nodded, “Exactly!”

“The loss Lotus Beauty Cosmetics has suffered this time is no less than ours.

Given Lew Qingqing’s vindictive nature, she will definitely not let this go.

And the only person she can turn to is her brother, one of the top ten masters of Cloud City.”

“I’ve already had people look into it, and Lew Qing has reached the level of a Grade 7 Grandmaster, much stronger than Cao Xiong.”

“If Lew Qingqing asks Lew Qing to deal with Lu Chuan, then we still have a chance.”

Xiao Shan pondered for a moment, “How do you know for certain that Lew Qing will take action?”

Xiao Yun said confidently, “I’ve heard that their sibling bond is extraordinarily strong, and Lew Qing seems to even have an unusual affection towards his sister.

Once he learns that his sister has been bullied to such an extent, he will certainly not stand by idly, and Lu Chuan is highly likely to die at Lew Qing’s hands.”

Xiao Shan thoughtfully nodded, asking, “What’s Lu Chuan’s strength?”

Xiao Yun replied, “Last time he defeated Chern Long, his strength should be around Grade 4, and no matter how exceptional his talent is, he couldn’t possibly have made another breakthrough in such a short period.

For Lew Qing, killing him would be like slaughtering a chicken.”

Xiao Shan took a deep breath, “Let’s hope it is as you say.

As long as Lu Chuan dies, our Jerry Pharmaceuticals still has a chance!”

…

An upscale tea house.

Inside a quiet room.

Lew Qing was sitting cross-legged on the floor, eyes closed in meditation.

At that moment, Lew Qingqing walked in with a face full of grievances, crying as she spoke, “Brother, I’ve been bullied…”

Lew Qing’s eyes suddenly snapped open.

A fierce aura exploded.

The calligraphy hanging on the wall actually split into pieces.

“Who dares to bully my sister!”

Lew Qingqing nestled into Lew Qing’s embrace like a little bird, “That person is named Lu Chuan, it’s all because of him that my company is now on the brink of bankruptcy, struggling to survive…”

Lew Qing sighed with relief, “As long as he hasn’t touched you, that’s good.”

Lew Qingqing cried whimperingly, “Brother, are you saying that if he hasn’t touched me, you won’t help me take revenge?”

Lew Qing smiled and patted Lew Qingqing’s head, “Qingqing, how can I not help you when I love you so much?”

“Don’t worry, if Lu Chuan troubles you, he troubles me.

I’ll make sure he regrets coming into this world!”

Lew Qingqing immediately kissed Lew Qing, “Brother, you’re the best, your sister will always be yours alone!”

…

Suburb.

Azure Dragon Mountain, the only 5A-rated scenic spot in Cloud City, was bustling with tourists every day.

Lu Chuan bought a ticket and rushed up the mountain.

This place was rich in spiritual energy, making it a good location for cultivation.

Lu Chuan came here specifically to use the area’s spiritual energy to aid in his breakthrough.

He found a remote and deserted spot halfway up the mountain.

After confirming that the surrounding spiritual energy was dense enough, he activated the Gathering Spirit effect of the Purple Cloud Pearl, stuffed three Spirit Melding Pills into his mouth, sat down cross-legged, and began his breakthrough.

Spiritual energy furiously surged into Lu Chuan’s body.

Until the afternoon.

Lu Chuan’s aura was reined in and then burst forth violently.

He opened his eyes, leapt up, and threw a punch towards the mountain behind him.

Boom!

A terrifyingly large pit appeared on the mountain.

Lu Chuan retracted his power and exhaled deeply.

“Qi Cultivation Level 7!”

“Now, if I face Cao Xiong again, I can kill him within ten moves!”

After gaining a deeper understanding of the Martial Path over this period, Lu Chuan discovered that with each level he broke through, he could easily crush a Martial Arts Grandmaster two grades lower.

At Qi Cultivation Level 6, he was able to defeat Chern Long, a Grade 4 Grandmaster.

At Qi Cultivation Level 7, all grandmasters below Grade 6 would be no match for him!

This was the advantage of a Cultivator!

Of course, if he encountered a Grade 7 Grandmaster, Lu Chuan would still have to run away.

Unless he used the Thunder Power of the Purple Cloud Pearl.

“Long Hao will reach Ninth Grade after his breakthrough.

I need to achieve Qi Cultivation Level 9 to confidently defeat him, and he may breakthrough at any time.

I have to seize every opportunity to continue enhancing my strength.”

Following this breakthrough, Lu Chuan discovered that the effect of the Spirit Melding Pills on improving his realm had become insignificant.

This also meant that fifty-year medicinal herbs were no longer enough.

“It seems I need to find a way to get some hundred-year medicinal herbs.”

A hundred years were a threshold.

Medicinal herbs of fifty years were rare, but could still be purchased with money.

But hundred-year medicinal herbs were considered true rarities.

The price between the two was drastically different.

Often, hundred-year medicinal herbs could only be acquired at auction events.

At such occasions, any price they fetched wouldn’t be surprising.

Lu Chuan stretched.

“I’ve lived in Cloud City for so many years; this is the first time I’m willing to spend money to come to Azure Dragon Mountain.

I can’t let this ticket go to waste, let’s take a look around.”

He toured around Azure Dragon Mountain alone.

As he was descending, he noticed a group of young people ahead of him.

Three young men and two women; the men youthful and sunny, the women cute and pretty, they all looked like college students.

Lu Chuan, following behind them, was filled with envy.

During his university days, he was always working to support himself, with no time to play around like this.

At that moment, his gaze fell on one of the better-figured girls, feeling somehow familiar.

Just then, the girl turned to glance at another girl.

When Lu Chuan saw her profile, he froze on the spot.

“It really is Yiyi—could she be on a break?”

Qin Yiyi, Qin Lan’s sister.

When Lu Chuan was with Qin Lan, he had a very good relationship with Qin Yiyi.

This girl was one of the few who had never looked down on him.

On the contrary, Qin Yiyi often praised Lu Chuan for his perseverance, determination, and willingness to endure hardships, saying that her sister Qin Lan would be very fortunate to marry someone like him.

She even expressed a bit of envy towards her sister, hoping that she could find a boyfriend like Lu Chuan in the future.

Although Qin Lan was a huge disappointment to Lu Chuan, Qin Yiyi still remained the gentle, kind, and considerate girl in his heart.

But now that he and Qin Lan had broken up, seeing Qin Yiyi again would inevitably be a bit awkward.

“I should keep my distance.

Since I’ve broken up with Qin Lan, I should sever these ties completely.”

Lu Chuan turned around, intending to find a place to rest and wait for Qin Yiyi and her friends to leave before descending the mountain.

Just then, a clear voice caught his ear.

“Brother-in-law!”
