Villains: Starting with the Landlady

"Holy shit, shit!"

Zhao Qian instantly deflated, picked up his suitcase, and fled the scene as fast as he could.

Ling Yun, who was cultivating her relationship with Qi Jingjing in the classroom, suddenly paused, hearing Xiao Na's prompt in her ear.

[A new "protagonist" has arrived; master, prepare to plunder!]

Chapter 38 School Rooftop

Come to life again?

He remembered that Xiaona had said there would be an extra special reward after plundering the third protagonist.

"Lingyun, what's wrong?"

Qi Jingjing nudged him with her elbow, and Ling Yun smiled and replied, "It's nothing. By the way, you'll be coming with me to the rooftop of this building later."

"What are you doing there?"

Qi Jingjing was a little curious, since the doors leading to the rooftop were all locked and hardly anyone went there.

"Let's go chat."

"Pooh!"

"It's settled then!" Ling Yun didn't allow her to refuse, so he sent a message to Fu Xuehui, asking her for the rooftop key.

Qi Jingjing had classes this afternoon, so she wouldn't be going home for the time being. When her best friend called her to go out for dinner, she said she had something to do and hurriedly went to the rooftop with her schoolbag.

When she arrived at the iron gate, she waited for a while and then heard a series of hurried footsteps. Ling Yun then ran to her side with the key.

Where did you get it from?

"Go find the principal."

He opened the somewhat rusty iron gate, led Qi Jingjing to the rooftop, and then locked it again.

Imperial University takes safety very seriously. The parapet wall (the low wall around the roof of the building) on ​​the rooftop is 1.5 meters high, making it very difficult for an ordinary person to fall off. In addition, the iron gate is locked.

[Congratulations, Master, on achieving the "Open-Air" achievement! The reward is the "Beauty Affinity" ability! This ability allows you to maintain at least a "like" level of affection from beauties with a rating of 80 or higher when you are in close proximity to them. However, this is also affected by the beauty's willpower; the stronger the willpower, the weaker the effect, and vice versa.]

"Class is about to start, and I haven't eaten yet..."

"It's alright, I've had someone buy it, it'll be here soon."

Ling Yun hugged her and comforted her for a while, then opened his phone and sent a message. Less than a minute later, someone knocked on the iron gate.

"Boss, here's your and your wife's food!"

Ling Ruoxue was wearing a dark blue employee uniform and a baseball cap that covered half of her face.

"Okay, thank you for your help!"

"It's alright, a raise is fine!" Ling Ruoxue smiled, spread the blanket she brought on the ground, and let Ling Yun and Qi Jingjing sit on it to eat their hot meal.

Aren't you coming to eat?

"I'm full, I ate several steamed buns..." At this point, Ling Ruoxue seemed to remember something and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Boss, I hit someone today, but don't worry, I was very careful, he definitely has amnesia!"

Qi Jingjing listened in disbelief. How could someone with amnesia be considered to have a sense of propriety?

"In a society governed by the rule of law, why do you always resort to violence?" Ling Yun said, criticizing her behavior after taking a bite of food.

“But I can’t let Third Sister…” She made a gun gesture with her thumb and forefinger, “right?”

"Ling Ruoxue!"

"Just kidding." Ling Ruoxue seemed completely unconcerned, smiling as she knelt behind Ling Yun and began massaging his shoulders.

Qi Jingjing felt a little jealous. Her eyes kept darting back and forth between Ling Yun and Ling Ruoxue. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that there was something wrong between the two.

"Boss, is the pressure just right?"

"Flattery won't work. You have something to say, don't you?"

"Yes, I think that person is quite capable. Although he's still far from being as strong as you, boss, he's not someone that just anyone can handle!"

Something was definitely amiss. Ling Yun paused in his eating and turned his head slightly: "What does he look like?"

"Look, I took a picture of him!"

Ling Ruoxue took out her phone and opened a photo of Zhao Qian lying on the ground like a dead pig: "I also put a hidden tracking device on his bag."

Lingyun suddenly had a brilliant idea and used the search function on the photo.

Name: Zhao Qian

【Age: 27】

[Protagonist's Fate: A free-spirited and unrestrained individual who dislikes constraints. Once an ace of a certain team, he was dismissed after repeated violations and injuring a superior. He then went to Tianjiu Mountain to study under a master, breaking through E-rank to reach D-rank strength. Unable to endure the impoverished life on the mountain, he returned to the capital. By chance, he met a powerful figure, and from then on, his career took off! Special Abilities: Proficient in firearms, Qi cultivation (beginner level).]

【Luck: 400】

[Combat Strength: D-]

I never expected that I could find information just from a photo, and what a coincidence that it turned out to be the new "protagonist"!

Well, he has come to a profound understanding of the strength of his own destiny.

"Keep an eye on him and see what his opportunity is. If possible, just snatch it away," Ling Yun whispered in Ling Ruoxue's ear.

"Yes, boss."

After finishing her meal, Ling Ruoxue packed up her things and went downstairs first.

"Shall we go?" Ling Yun reached out his hand to Qi Jingjing, but saw that the latter was pouting and looking a little unhappy.

"what happened?"

"Is she back with you?"

"No, I really don't. If I did, I would definitely tell you."

"But I feel like you two are very close."

"Don't worry, it's just an employment relationship for now!"

Chapter 39 With great power comes great responsibility [Bonus chapter for Young Master Wang]

In the afternoon, Qi Jingjing insisted on taking Ling Yun back with her, saying that her mother was researching some mysterious dish again, and that she would definitely be poisoned if she ate it alone.

"No, even if it tastes bad, don't drag me down with you!"

"Oh dear, I really can't do this by myself!" Qi Jingjing hugged his arm and snuggled close to him. "Lingyun, you're the best!"

"You're making me come back by myself tonight?"

"You can sleep at my house, my mom won't mind!"

Ling Yun had originally planned to comfort Xia Lan tonight, but seeing Qi Jingjing's expression, he reluctantly agreed.

"I'm going back to get some clothes, then I'll take a taxi to your place." He was about to cross the street when Qi Jingjing insisted on following him, saying she wanted to go to his room to take a look.

Lingyun was now in a bit of a predicament.

As expected, Xia Lan opened her door upon hearing the noise, her face lighting up with surprise, but the unspoken "Ling Yun" vanished upon seeing Qi Jingjing.

"Hey, Lingyun, is this your girlfriend?"

"Yes, her name is Qi Jingjing." Ling Yun smiled politely and pulled Qi Jingjing along, saying, "This is my landlady, Sister Xia Lan."

"Hello, Sister Xia Lan!"

Qi Jingjing didn't think much of it and nodded obediently to Xia Lan.

Xia Lan smiled back, pretending that she had forgotten to take the trash bag when she threw out the trash, and then closed the door again.

The door closed, and Xia Lan sighed softly. Her current status was indeed not suitable for her to appear openly beside Ling Yun. Looking at the printed divorce agreement on the table, she made up her mind.

It was a false alarm. Ling Yun thought to himself that he should find a way to send Qi Jingjing home first in the future. With that little jealous girl around, she would ruin a lot of his good things.

Qi Jingjing helped him choose an outfit, put it in her bag, and then took his hand and went downstairs.

After arriving downstairs, Ling Yun didn't ask Ling Yaxuan to come over. Instead, she called a ride-hailing service. With 10 minutes to go before the ride arrived, she said she needed to use the restroom and ran back alone.

He ran to Xia Lan's door and knocked.

"Sister Xia Lan, I'm so sorry."

"It's okay, you go ahead and do your thing!" Xia Lan looked up at him and winked.

"I'll handle Wei Dahai's situation, you don't need to worry."

“No, I’ll do it myself this time.” Xia Lan’s tone was resolute. “Actually, I should have gotten a divorce a long time ago. I shouldn’t have hesitated and worried about how difficult life would be after the divorce. I’m sorry for you, because you got scolded by Sister Su.”

"She has no problem with you."

"Really?" Xia Lan was overjoyed. Just as she was about to say something, she heard the girl downstairs shouting.

"Lingyun, the car has arrived!"

"Sister Xia Lan, I'm leaving now."

"Have fun!" Xia Lan winked at him before hurrying off.

No, that won't do. I'll be too busy to be in two places at once!

After getting into the ride-hailing car, Lingyun and Qi Jingjing held hands and flaunted their affection in front of the driver.

After getting off the bus, Qi Jingjing suddenly said something.

"You and that pretty landlady..." She lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed, "You won't find me annoying, will you? But I always feel like you'll be seduced by those pretty women and then leave me."

Ling Yun hugged her and said gently, "Baby, I won't abandon you."

"I shouldn't be jealous, but I just keep overthinking."

"I don't want anyone to abandon my precious Jingjing. Let's go inside."

"I'm sorry, I made you feel bad." Qi Jingjing looked up. "I will try my best to be myself and not get jealous. As for that girl who calls you boss, I think she's quite pretty too."

Ling Yun grasped her hand tightly and led her into the house.

As Lingyun approached Qi Jingjing's home, he greeted Meiya, who was busy in the kitchen.

Hello, Auntie!

"Ah, it's Ling Yun?" Maya was startled and almost dropped the shovel in her hand.

"No, no, no, it's fine."

Meiya only knew that her daughter's classmate was coming over today and would be staying here. She thought it was a girl, but she didn't expect it to be Lingyun!

She put down the spatula, patted her rosy cheeks, and turned back to continue cooking the vegetables in the pot.

Ling Yun even took a sniff, and the smell was much better than last time. He wondered if the taste of the food had also improved.

Sitting on the sofa, Qi Jingjing snuggled up to him, recounting everything that had happened since they parted the night before, while constantly observing Ling Yun's reaction.

After a while, the sound of a car came from outside. The two separated. Qi Jingjing looked down with a hint of curiosity, then her face lit up with joy as she called out to the man coming upstairs, "Dad!"

"Oh, my dear daughter!"

Qi Yuan, sporting a beer belly, still looked like a nouveau riche despite being dressed in a suit and tie.

He first glanced in surprise at his wife, who was busy in the kitchen, before noticing that there was a handsome young man in the room.

"Hello, Uncle. I am Qi Jingjing's classmate. My name is Ling Yun."

Ling Yun stepped forward and introduced himself. Qi Yuan was taken aback at first, then looked Ling Yun up and down, immediately bowed slightly and extended his right hand: "Oh, it's Young Master Ling! Do you remember me, Young Master? I'm the boss of Yuanshan Group! We met once at Chairman Su's banquet!"

"Oh, hello, hello."

Ling Yun, of course, didn't remember. He had been forcibly dragged there by Su Qingya that time, and he had no interest in it at all.

Qi Yuan was a seasoned veteran, and he immediately saw through the relationship between his daughter and Ling Yun. His smile widened, and he invited Ling Yun to sit down, ignoring even his daughter and wife.

Meiya didn't even want to look at him directly, and Qi Jingjing was also somewhat embarrassed. She had originally intended to happily introduce her boyfriend, but she hadn't expected her father to start chatting with Ling Yun, and the obsequiousness and fawning in his tone made her nauseous. Where was the feeling of a father-in-law and son-in-law at all!

Ling Yun had witnessed many such scenes. Su Qingya was like a mountain pressing down on the heads of all the merchants in the capital of the Dragon Kingdom. Even if you moved her away, there was an even more majestic mountain behind her—the mysterious Old Master Su.

The prepared speech was useless. After Maya finished her work, everyone sat down to eat.

"Um, where did Xiao Zhou go?"
