Chapter 23: Urban Dragon King, You Are the Master, I Am the Servant

The figure in the rain was none other than the sunglasses man who had been tailing Li Chunsheng.

He strolled into a phone booth and dialed a number.

“Hello… Officer Liao?”

“How’s the investigation going?” came Liao’s tired voice from the other end.

Clearly, Liao hadn’t been having a comfortable time lately.

“Let me tell you what I observed first.” The sunglasses man said.

“This Li Chunsheng’s relationship with Mu Group’s president, Mu Shengling, is extremely unusual!”

“You’re sure?” Liao’s voice grew heavy.

“Yes, I’m sure.” The sunglasses man nodded. “If last time, seeing Li Chunsheng and Mu Shengling so intimate left me with some doubts…”

“This time, I can say with certainty.”

“From my two observations…”

“It’s obvious that in their relationship, Li Chunsheng is the dominant one; the girl is chasing the guy.”

“The girl chasing the guy!?” Liao’s breathing grew ragged.

A woman chasing a man was an extremely rare phenomenon in this world.

After all, women possessed the blessing power that prevented men from degenerating into goblins; a matter of life and death. If in Li Chunsheng’s previous world, simps were just products of sexual repression or emotional deprivation, then in this world, any man who hadn’t lived enough would do everything possible to pursue women.

Being single was never an option here.

Choosing single meant, as age increased and one could no longer generate enough gold coins, facing the fate of becoming a goblin.

So in this world, as long as someone was female, even if she looked like a tank, men would pursue her.

If a woman was chasing a man, there was only one possibility: either the man’s gold content was enormous, or his family background far surpassed hers.

Either way, it proved that Li Chunsheng, pursued by Mu Shengling, had a terrifying hidden background.

“And another thing further proves Li Chunsheng is far from ordinary.” The sunglasses man continued.

“Officer Liao, you know that small gang with the prohibited bronze artifact, right?”

“Mm, what about it?”

“Heh, I just leaked a little hint and got that gang to test him for me… The result was quite intriguing…”

“Don’t tell me—”

“Yes. Li Chunsheng’s gold content is far more terrifying than we imagined!”

“After the thugs used the bronze artifact, Li Chunsheng actually held out until he knocked out every gang member present before stopping the bronze authority’s physical enhancement.”

“I timed it; about 7 minutes… You know what that means? He has at least 420,000 black-iron coins worth of gold content!”

“I didn’t see him use a black-iron card to replenish… so…”

“He can’t possibly be black-iron level!” Liao exclaimed. That gold content was at least silver holy knight level! Far beyond what a black-iron investigator like him could touch.

He never expected to actually encounter a “urban dragon king” plot from novels!

“Yes, he’s hiding his identity… Officer Liao, I suggest you stop investigating Li Chunsheng from now on…” The sunglasses man kindly advised.

“…” Silence on the line, then a hoarse voice. “Got it.”

“Then next, let’s look into that Liu Xia.”

“No… that Liu Xia, I’m afraid…”

But before the sunglasses man could finish, the call ended.

The sunglasses man shook his head helplessly. If Officer Liao didn’t give him more money next, he wasn’t planning to continue the investigation.

After all, compensating that small gang he’d manipulated had already cost him a lot.

Meanwhile, Liu Xia finished making the “loving wife” bento to bring to Li Chunsheng.

Looking at the colorful, fragrant dishes, Liu Xia nodded in satisfaction, thinking: This should fit the ideal woman in Chunsheng’s heart, right?

Though she had felt ashamed earlier about “playing the ideal woman for my junior,” after thinking it through, she realized she didn’t need to change anything.

In a way, her current self was already the complete version of Li Chunsheng’s ideal woman.

Not bragging, but by her own aesthetic standards, she had a perfect figure: full chest, rounded hips, a water-snake waist that could be circled with one grip, skin pale and plump, tender as if it could drip water. Yet this seductive body had a gentle, ethereal, fairy-like face; the perfect blend of devil and angel.

Just like those beautiful master or aloof immortal roles in certain indescribable novels.

And inwardly, to please Mu Shengling in the past, she had trained herself to be a domestic all-rounder, more skilled than many traditional women.

In short: graceful in public, skilled in the kitchen.

If Liu Xia were truly a girl, she would already be among the very top tier.

“So becoming the ideal woman doesn’t mean I have to offer myself up, right?” Liu Xia blushed slightly. “Ideals are meant to be unattainable… If I get too close, it might ruin his fantasy?”

With that, the girl felt a little more at ease. Besides her body and mind, she only needed to take good care of Chunsheng; just like before.

“…But I still need to keep some distance, so he doesn’t get too obsessed…” Liu Xia worried inwardly.

“If it affects him finding a wife, that would be bad; after all, I’m not a real woman. I can’t give him blessings.”

Just then, heavy rain suddenly poured outside.

“Hm…?” Before leaving, Liu Xia searched the apartment and found only one umbrella, no raincoat.

“Ah; I’ve only been here a few days. Chunsheng wouldn’t have thought of that.” The girl shook her head, picked up the bento, and headed out.

Liu Xia knew where Li Chunsheng worked.

After all, she had privately begged Mu Shengling to arrange this job for him back then. Mu Shengling had agreed readily, leaving Liu Xia with complicated feelings.

But this time, Liu Xia didn’t take public transport.

Her current gold content was negative; Li Chunsheng hadn’t given her pocket money yet. She was a thoroughly poor girl.

Even if she had money, she didn’t dare take public transport now; who knew if it would trigger some security check.

So Liu Xia walked in the rain for over an hour, arriving at Li Chunsheng’s workplace just around noon.

“Ugh… this maid outfit looks nice, but it’s a bit too cool…” Liu Xia rubbed her frozen-red hands, breathing warm air into them to thaw her stiff fingers.

At that moment, a Mu Group security guard spotted the girl and approached.

“Hello, miss. Can I help you?” The guard was stunned by her beauty, his tone growing more polite.

“Good afternoon, sir~” Liu Xia bowed politely. “Liu Xia is here to find my master. He forgot his bento when he left this morning.”

“Your master is…” The guard scratched his head in confusion. Could it be President Mu?

But Liu Xia smiled softly and said something that shocked him.

“Liu Xia’s master is Young Master Li Chunsheng~”

Hehe… this should make Chunsheng look good, right? the girl thought mischievously, already looking forward to Li Chunsheng’s expression.
