"Rongrong, didn't you say you would be working overtime today? Why are you here?!"
At the entrance of a room in the Emperium Grand Hotel, Linqiang.
Ye Tian, dressed in a courier uniform, stares at his girlfriend Wu Rong in disbelief.
And on the big circular bed behind his girlfriend, a shirtless man lays lazily.
Ye Tian recognizes him. He's his university classmate, Zhou Zichen.
Single male and female, booking a room in a hotel, sleeping on a large round bed...
"Wu Rong, what are you doing here?" Ye Tian asks, clenching his fists.
Three years. He and Wu Rong have been a couple for three years now.
During these three years, he can be said to have meticulously cared for Wu Rong. Wu Rong's expenditures were huge, and he worked three jobs every day to support her.
If Wu Rong mentioned wanting something, he’d keep it at heart, striving to earn money to buy it for her.
Several months ago, Wu Rong said she wanted a new model of an Apple phone. As a result, he had been living frugally, saving money to buy it for her over these past few months, and he was preparing to give it to her today after work.
But he didn't think that he would witness such a nauseating scene!
Seeing the exposure of the truth, Wu Rong didn't bother to keep up her act. She grabbed the package in Ye Tian's hand.
"It's good that you've seen it, saves me time. Ye Tian, I've just accepted brother Chen's proposal. As for you, keep away from me in the future. We are no longer related."
Ye Tian only felt a buzz in his head, and he stumbled a step backwards uncontrollably.
"Yo, Ye Tian, what a coincidence."
Zhou Zichen walked over, yawning, and provocatively pulled Wu Rong into his arms.
"I'm to blame, I should have informed you earlier. From today on, Rong Rong is my fiancée. I will send you an invitation to our wedding. You have taken good care of Rong Rong all these years, and it must have been wonderful."
He smirked, reached his hand underneath Wu Rong's waist and squeezed it.
He had always been irritated by Ye Tian during their college days.
Now, Ye Tian's girlfriend was lying under him, it felt immensely satisfying.
Wu Rong immediately cuddled in his arms shyly.
"Brother Chen, you are naughty~"
Ye Tian felt suffocated, his eyes red with anger, his fists clenched, and he rushed towards Zhou Zichen.
"Damn it, I'll fight you!"
He had been with Wu Rong for three years. Every time he tried to push their relationship further, Wu Rong would convince him by saying she wanted to save herself for their wedding night!
He had been so proud, thinking he had found a rare good woman!
Zhou Zichen remained expressionless.
"Ye Tian, think carefully. If you throw this punch, you won't even be able to afford it even if your parents go bankrupt."
The fist stopped mid-air.
Ye Tian felt as though his heart was being grasped tightly, an agonizing pain he couldn't put into words.
His home was in a rural village, his parents were ordinary farmers, without money or power.
Ever since he graduated from university two years ago, he worked like a dog, all for the sake of getting a foothold in the city.
However, housing prices kept skyrocketing; the money he was earning was far from catching up with the pace of growth in housing prices.
Zhou Zichen's family owned a company, worth tens of millions. They had both money and influence.
If he threw this punch and had to go to jail, he wouldn't care. But he couldn't implicate his parents in this.
Ye Tian clenched his teeth, his heart feeling an icy desolation.
"Heh."
Seeing this, Zhou Zichen let out a cold chuckle without saying anything further, while Wu Rong looked down at him contemptuously.
"Ye Tian, do you see the difference between you and Brother Chen?
You have no money and no power. If I were to stay with you, I would only suffer. Brother Chen is different; the money he spends on a single bag for me is equivalent to several months of your wages. With him, he can buy me a house, a car - can you?"
Ye Tian felt a stabbing pain in his heart.
He would love to say he could, but the harsh reality was, for someone without money or influence, it was hard to establish oneself in a big city.
Wu Rong huffed coldly, pushing Ye Tian out the door.
"I've made my point clear, you can scram now, don't waste me and Brother Chen's time," said Wu Rong.
Zhou Zichen then opened the package, took out a novelty collar inside, put it around Wu Rong's neck, and smiled.
"Ye Tian, thank you for delivering the item on time. Today, I'm going to explore something new with Rong Rong. We won't keep you any longer. Scram. If I am in a good mood, I might give you a five-star review. Hahaha."
A strong sense of humiliation enveloped Ye Tian. His eyes reddened, and he stared at the two people in front of him.
"Wu Rong, Zhou Zichen, you wait, there will come a day that you'll regret this!"
Zhou Zichen was taken aback and began to bubble with laughter, as if he had just heard a joke.
Wu Rong scoffed, "Ye Tian, are you talking nonsense? Making us regret? With what, your peasant status or your three-job day?"
She yanked off the jade pendant around her neck, and disdainfully threw it on the ground.
"I'm not heartless, this fake jade is the one you gave me, saying it was some family heirloom. I went to a jewelry store to have it appraised. The clerk said it was worthless. Keep this fake as your 'heirloom'! Get lost now, don't disrupt Brother Chen and my rest."
Zhou Zichen hugged Wu Rong into his arms, lifting his chin slightly.
"Ye Tian, we want to have a good time, so please don't disturb us, or else, there will be no five-star review for you. A one-star review costs twenty yuan, that's a lot for you, isn't it?"
With that, he closed the room door heavily, and the laughter inside echoed painfully in Ye Tian's ears. His heart hurt even more.
He picked up the jade pendant on the ground, and trudged out of the hotel, ending up by a riverside, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Wu Rong, I swear I’ll make you regret this!"
He gritted his teeth and said the sentence, but his anger soon faded, because he did not know, how to make Wu Rong regret.
The nails dug into the palm, blood spilling out, the jade pendant in the palm was also dyed by the fresh blood, the temperature of the palm suddenly rose.
Ye Tian was startled, just as he opened his hand, the jade pendant fell to the ground, splitting into two halves.
Following that, a beam of white light shot straight at his forehead.
"I am a Kunlun Immortal. I give you fate, receive my inheritance, save others and save yourself, practice medicine for society..."
Along with the voice, a large amount of information entered Ye Tian's mind: the Shennong Art, Wushu Medical Skills, Beast Language, Perspective...
"Ah!"
Ye Tian only felt a sharp pain in his head and couldn't help letting out a cry.
"What’s going on?"
It was a while before he recovered, sweat already breaking out on his forehead.
"Could it be, am I dreaming?"
"Master, save me, save me!"
At this moment, a strange voice entered his ears.
Ye Tian was startled, he looked around, but he didn't see anyone.
"Who? Did I see a ghost?"
"Master! Master! Look down at your feet!"
The voice came once again, and Ye Tian subconsciously looked downwards to find a limping frog talking to him.
This scared him back several steps, exclaiming, "Oh, man!"
The frog lay there on the ground, eyes imploring.
"Master, my leg is broken, please help me!"
Ye Tian tried hard to calm himself down.
It seems that he really inherited the wisdom of Kunlun Immortals. How else could he understand the language of animals?
And this frog also referred to him as Master?
He took a deep breath, and tentatively picked up the frog and placed his palm on its wounded area.
Soon, a soft light slowly seeped from his palm. In just a matter of moments, the injury on the frog's leg was actually healing!
