Chapter 4: Fox Friends and Dog Buddies Come to the Door (2 / 2)

But whether aliens exist was still a topic of speculation and theory.

He never expected to experience it firsthand, confirming that aliens were real.

But since he was here in this world, he was determined to live well. Maybe one day he’d even cross the stars and return to Earth.

Luo Tianfu was a huge, influential family, with wealth and connections accumulated over generations, so he didn’t have to worry about his livelihood.

But the biggest problem in front of him was the crisis facing Luo Tianfu.

In the Great Xia Kingdom, only a Heavenly Rank General’s mansion could be named “Tianfu.”

After Luo Zhen Tian’s fall, the lingering power still protected Luo Tianfu for a few more years.

But if the descendants of Luo Tianfu were all mediocre and incapable of taking up the mantle, the emperor would take the Tianfu name away.

Once Luo Tianfu lost the “Tianfu” title, it would become just another regular family, quickly targeted and divided by various forces.

It was only because of Xia Zhi Lan that the “Tianfu” title hadn’t been revoked.

But the man knew very well that he and Xia Zhi Lan were just a temporary, one-year couple, and after that, they’d still have to face this problem.

“Only Luo Yi has the talent to support Luo Tianfu, to show the forces and the emperor that there’s still hope of restoring the former glory of Luo Tianfu under his leadership, and that’s the only way to save it.”

The man muttered to himself. He considered himself someone with strong adaptability, learning ability, and the capacity to improve.

He used to be a street thug, and after an accident, he was sent to a devilish training camp to train assassins for noble families.

In just a year and a half, he killed their all-around instructor.

But this Luo Yi…

He had the Ling Xu, but no Xu Zong, which meant he couldn’t cultivate. Even if he wanted to, it was a dead end.

“Forget it, there’s still a year.”

The man shook his head, not wanting to think about these troublesome things for now. With decades of experience and proficiency in various combat skills and assassination techniques, once he fully trained this young body, he was confident that in a year, or even less, he could reach the peak of his past strength, maybe even surpass it.

Just as the man was getting up, intending to throw some punches and kicks, a guy with yellow hair sneaked in.

Seeing no one around, he quickly said, “Yi Ge, you’re married to Xia Zhi Lan now, but the brothers wanna see you, we still have to sneak over the wall. You’re not gonna look down on us, are you?”

The man looked at him, and some memories rushed back.

This guy was nicknamed Huang Mao, a fox friend that he—no, Luo Yi—had made outside.

Luo Yi’s reputation had been ruined, and some of the bad things he did were his own fault, but many others were the work of these guys, who would push the blame onto Luo Yi no matter what.

And Luo Yi was a fool, for the sake of brotherhood, he took all the blame.

If others took the fall, they’d end up in jail.

But if Luo Yi took the fall, there were people to clean up his mess. A scolding was enough to make everything fine.

So, whatever they did wrong, they all blamed it on Luo Yi.

Seeing that Luo Yi didn’t speak, Huang Mao sarcastically said, “Yi Ge, we’ve got a life-and-death bond, and now we can’t even come see you?”

The man sneered in his heart. Life-and-death bond?

How many times did they injure people, cripple someone, or kill someone, only for them to vanish without a trace, while Luo Yi took all the responsibility?

Luo Yi was really stupid. After going through so much, he still couldn’t see through these guys, and still considered them his good brothers.

“How could that be?” The man smiled lightly and asked, “What’s up?”

“Heh heh, of course, we’re going to take advantage of some idiot,” Huang Mao grinned and said. “Qiang Ge found another fool, apparently the guy’s rich and loves to gamble. Qiang Ge set up a trap, we’re gonna rip him off.”

Hearing this, the man smiled. This trick of theirs really worked every time. Luo Yi didn’t know how many times he’d gone along with them to rip off some fool, but in the end, they never made a dime. Instead, Luo Yi’s pockets were always emptied.

As for where the money ended up, Luo Yi had no idea, but the man knew very well.

Huang Mao continued, “Yi Ge, the last two times were a mistake, but this time we’re well-prepared. That fool doesn’t even know how to gamble. We’ll rip him off good, and then head to Dark Fragrance Courtyard for some fun. Xiao Lan Hua has been thinking about you!”

The man smiled slightly, “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!”

“Let’s go, Yi Ge.”

Looking at Huang Mao’s excited face, the man also smiled happily. After all these years of making money for them, it was time for them to give something back.
