"How can this be?"
Shen Lang had been at the peak of the Profound Realm for three months. During this time, he had tried many methods but failed to break through the bottleneck. Now, how had the bottleneck been inexplicably opened?
With the bottleneck broken, Shen Lang directly entered the Earth Realm. In an instant, Shen Lang's strength, vital energy, and spirit all surged several times.
"No Earth Realm below fifty," this was a martial arts iron law that had existed in the Dragon Kingdom for thousands of years.
But this year, Shen Lang, at only twenty-five years old, had broken through this step. If other martial artists knew, what would they think?
Unable to figure out how he broke through after thinking for a long time, Shen Lang no longer dwelled on it.
However, after breaking through to the Earth Realm, Shen Lang, in a much better mood, looked at "Shi Qingxuan" with a hint of gentleness on his face and said, "I'm sorry, my tone was a bit harsh just now. Please don't mind."
"However, when I practice in my room, I absolutely cannot be disturbed. Because once I am disturbed, I might suffer qi deviation. Mild cases would result in lifelong paralysis, and severe cases would lead to immediate death."
What?
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Wang Yuyan almost couldn't believe her ears.
This uncultured bumpkin, Shen Lang, who came from the mountains, was actually apologizing to her?
However, in her shock, Wang Yuyan also understood why Shen Lang had suddenly changed like he was possessed, acting crazy. It was because she had suddenly barged into the room, causing Shen Lang to suffer qi deviation.
Thinking of it this way, Wang Yuyan also felt a trace of guilt. For the first time in her life, she apologized: "I'm sorry, Brother Shen. I shouldn't have barged into your room and disturbed you just now. Please don't be angry with me."
"I'm not angry with you, so don't blame yourself."
Shen Lang looked at Wang Yuyan, a gentle smile appearing on his face. "Actually, you are also a pitiable person. You are forced to bow your head under the circumstances, and even your marriage is manipulated by Wang Yunchuan. You have no control over yourself."
"Don't worry, after I go to annul the engagement tomorrow, that old scoundrel Wang Yunchuan will no longer trouble you. You will be free then."
When Shen Lang and Chu Ge were begging, they were controlled by a group of hooligans. Every time they disobeyed or hid the money they begged for, they would be beaten.
But every time they were beaten, Chu Ge would use his small body to shield Shen Lang, fiercely protecting him. Several times, he was almost beaten to death.
"Chu Ge..."
Thinking of the person who fed him milk and kept him alive, Shen Lang's heart ached again.
He was twenty-five years old this year, and he had entered the Earth Realm in martial arts. Not only was he unprecedented, but he would likely be unrivaled in the future.
At the same time, he was proficient in Go, chess, calligraphy, painting, all schools of thought, and peerless medical skills. Although he had not yet reached the realm of "immortal's needle, raising the dead," ninety percent of the illnesses in the world were no problem for him.
For someone like him, his future was destined to be brilliant, even if he couldn't control the world or possess wealth comparable to a nation.
Glory and wealth, things he once dared not even dream of, could now be obtained with ease.
It was just that no matter how much he gained, Chu Ge would never return.
"Chu Ge, if you were still here, I would never let you starve again, and I would never let anyone bully you again..."
In an instant, two clear tears uncontrollably rolled down Shen Lang's cheeks.
"What?"
Seeing Shen Lang suddenly shed tears, Wang Yuyan was greatly alarmed.
From the first time she saw Shen Lang, all she had seen was his power and cunning. She had never seen such a soft side to him. For a moment, she froze in place, not knowing what to do.
"Brother Shen, what's wrong?"
After a long while, Wang Yuyan asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I just thought of an old friend."
Shen Lang realized his lapse in composure and quickly wiped away his tears. His face regained the strength and confidence that Wang Yuyan was familiar with.
Shen Lang took out his phone and checked it. He noticed that the time was approaching ten o'clock at night, almost time for Yu Xiao and Yu Fei to finish school.
"It's too late. You should rest early. I need to pick up my girlfriend from school."
Shen Lang put on his coat and said, then quickly left the room.
Wang Yuyan wanted to say something, but before she could speak, she heard the sound of Shen Lang starting his car and leaving.
"This bumpkin..."
Seeing Shen Lang in such a hurry to pick up his girlfriend, Wang Yuyan's face clearly showed displeasure. It felt as if something belonging to her had been snatched away, making her furious.
Although she didn't like this bumpkin, the engagement was not yet broken. This bumpkin was her fiancé.
Her fiancé was dating another girl, and he was so caring towards other girls. How could Wang Yuyan not be angry?
However, soon, Wang Yuyan's thoughts were drawn back to the sad scene of Shen Lang shedding tears earlier.
She was certain that deep in Shen Lang's heart, there was someone he could never forget.
This person was already intertwined with Shen Lang's heart. Unless Shen Lang's heart stopped beating, he would remember that person for a lifetime.
Wang Yuyan believed that this person was definitely not Shen Lang's girlfriend, and Shen Lang had probably never even mentioned this person to his girlfriend.
What kind of person could make this bumpkin, Shen Lang, so unforgettable?
For a moment, Wang Yuyan fell into deep thought.
For some reason, in this moment, Wang Yuyan began to feel a little jealous.
Like other girls, Wang Yuyan longed to meet someone who would cherish her, keep her safe, protect her from hardship and fear, and give her a place to belong.
She hadn't expected that the person she longed to meet had already been met by someone else, and that person was her fiancé. How could she not be jealous?
"What's wrong with me? Why am I jealous of someone I've never met, someone whose name I don't even know..."
Two minutes later, Wang Yuyan came to her senses and said with a shocked expression.
She was a proud daughter of heaven, with an IQ of 170 and unparalleled beauty. In this world, any man who saw her would feel inferior, and any woman would feel timid and inferior.
She needed to be jealous of someone?
A joke, a huge joke.
Wang Yuyan felt bewildered, but she was indeed very jealous.
"This bumpkin, he has a fiancée but is dating a girlfriend. And even with a girlfriend, he can't forget the person hidden in his heart. What a scumbag."
Wang Yuyan gritted her teeth and said, "Such a scumbag should be struck down by heavenly lightning and reduced to ashes. Then, a strong wind should blow him away, making him disappear completely from the world."
"But, who is that person hidden in the depths of this bumpkin's heart..."
While burning with jealousy, Wang Yuyan became increasingly curious. She wished she could drag Shen Lang here right now and interrogate him strictly, forcing him to honestly confess the secret hidden in his heart.
