Chapter 22 We Are Innocent

Lu Xingshang trudged in with his head hanging.

"Third Bro, weren't you off to see your girlfriend? How come you're back?" Su Hang asked, turning his body to the side.

"She's working the night shift today, not at home." Lu Xingshang suddenly flared his nostrils. "Hey, there's a special fragrance in the room, this, this is a woman's scent. One with such a scent must be an exceptional woman, like Li Xiaowei."

"Third Bro, you're hallucinating from all the aphrodisiac liquor you drank." Su Hang laughed.

"Your liquor was really too potent, luckily, I have my goddess's spicy photo edition." Lu Xingshang flipped a magazine out from under his pillow and hurried into the bathroom.

"Who's that fatass's goddess?" Tang Lifen crawled out from under Su Hang's quilt.

"Ye Mei!" Su Hang glanced at Tang Lifen. "Why, you seem disappointed."

"Disappointed my ass." Tang Lifen cursed, "I'm so grateful to Ye Mei, grateful to her ancestors eighteen generations back."

Tang Lifen abruptly changed the subject, "Hey, who's your goddess? It's not Liu Qing, is it? You had such a good opportunity but you didn't defile her."

"Are you reminding me to seize the opportunity?" Su Hang looked at Tang Lifen. Both were scantily clad and close to each other, dangerously so.

"Go on, dream on." Tang Lifen avoided Su Hang's gaze. "Your quilt has a special, extraordinary scent. Have you noticed it?"

"I know, that's my body fragrance." Su Hang turned over and closed his eyes.

Tang Lifen couldn't help but snort with laughter, and just picked a random topic, "You like Ye Chuqing's type, huh? Nice and fresh taste."

"You're fishing for a conversation, isn't it boring for you? I'm going to sleep, don't disturb me, I have a lot to do tomorrow," Su Hang said.

Tang Lifen rolled her eyes, pretending to be annoyed. Who likes to make idle conversation? Sharing a quilt with this stinky kid, bodies pressed together, not talking would only spread awkwardness until death.

"Sleep, huh, there's a breathtaking beauty in your quilt, I don't believe you can actually sleep." Tang Lifen lamented pitifully, "To think that I, a national beauty and heavenly fragrance, a peerless beauty of devastating allure, a Bodhisattva, a first-class star worth hundreds of millions, have fallen so low as to squeeze onto an eighty-centimeter-wide bed with a little man, alas... alas..."

"The key issue is that damn 'body fragrance' in the quilt. No, I'll go crazy if I stay here six hours, I have to get out of here." Tang Lifen was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed when the bathroom door opened.

The fatass with a sneaky look scurried over, glanced at Su Hang twice, and then actually went to watch videos, the sounds slowly invading her ears.

"Damn it, that sleazy, vile fatass." Tang Lifen sneakily glanced at Su Hang, seething internally, "This bastard actually fell asleep, and so soundly at that, is my charm that lackluster, damn it, damn it..."

After more than an hour of the fatass's antics, finally when he went to bed, another of Su Hang's roommates returned.

"Third Bro, Fourth Bro, I brought back some late-night snacks, come and eat together." The guy shouted as he came in, waking Su Hang.

"It's past midnight, and still late-night snacks, your grandpa's late-night snacks." Tang Lifen silently groused, not a single normal person in this dorm.

But what she didn't expect was, in the next moment, Su Hang's quilt was lifted by the newcomer, and she quickly covered her face and shrank behind Su Hang.

The man immediately put the quilt down, turned his head and said, "Third Bro, come, let's go outside."

"We're eating late-night snacks..."

"Stop babbling, let's go."

After hearing the door close, Tang Lifen stood up and said to Su Hang, "You better ask if your roommate saw me clear enough?"

"Don't worry, even if they did see, they won't spread the word. Alright, you can get out of bed now, they won't be back before dawn." Su Hang drowsily reassured her. Once she got off the bed, he laid straight out and fell fast asleep.

"With the EQ that tugs at heartstrings like yours, you're doomed to be forever single," Tang Lifen snorted at the sight of several love letters on Su Hang's desk, picking one up only to find it was from Li Xiaowei.

Li Xiaowei's grandmother was a domestic top-class screenwriter, who had collaborated with their company many times; because of this relationship, she also knew Li Xiaowei.

Li Xiaowei was a top-tier beauty with looks not inferior to hers and a figure that could absolutely kill hers, and she actually wrote love letters to Su Hang.

The most crucial point was, none of these letters had been opened.

"Hey, look, here are some love letters from Li Xiaowei to you." Tang Lifen patted Su Hang.

"Are you kidding me? It's just a few love letters; what's the big deal? There's still a whole box of them down there." Su Hang rolled over and continued to snore away.

Tang Lifen opened the cardboard box to look inside and her mouth twitched. She had just commented on how Su Hang's emotional intelligence was touching, destined to be a perpetual bachelor, and now she had been proven wrong so quickly.

Weiyang City, Longbei District, Blue Lake Community.

When Ye Mei heard her phone ring, she draped a robe over herself, got up and walked to the window, not even bothering to tie the belt of the robe, allowing her beauty to be admired by heaven and earth.

"Is that bumpkin kid dead?" Ye Mei asked directly after answering the phone.

"That kid brought in a master, leading our plan to fail," a seductive female voice came from the other end of the phone.

Ye Mei was startled and quickly asked, "What about Qiu Zhen? Is he alright?"

"He's fine. Do you think we should kick that kid out of Tian Ce Martial Arts Academy and teach him a lesson?"

"No, absolutely not," Ye Mei hurriedly intervened. "I've heard that country bumpkin passed the Earth Spirit Hall's entrance test with outstanding results.

If we kick him out of Tian Ce Martial Arts Academy, there's a high chance he would stay at the Martial Cultivator dormitory of the Earth Spirit Hall, and then it would be hard to lay a hand on him."

"Understood. We'll let that kid stay in Tian Ce Martial Arts Academy; then he'll be in the palm of our hands. However, the higher-ups have given strict orders to eliminate him and exterminate his entire clan as soon as possible. What's your next step?"

With a sinister smile, Ye Mei said, "Tomorrow is the day Qiao Mu and Chuqing have their arranged meeting. My dim-witted niece has deep feelings for that hick, so she is likely to do something. I will mobilize the Eighteen Demon Guards and take action accordingly, striving to kill him."

Ye Mei's body suddenly burst forth with an immense aura, and with a palm strike, the air shrieked, her cultivation level having reached the Grandmaster Level.

Time silently passed by, and before long, it was five in the morning. Tang Lifen felt the chaotic immortal power inside her settle down.

Looking at Su Hang who was sleeping like a dead pig, she couldn't help but pinch the soft flesh around his waist and twist hard, causing Su Hang to wake up with a yelp of pain.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Su Hang exclaimed, fuming with rage.

"I'm just specially thanking you for last night's hospitality," Tang Lifen said with a bright smile, slipping off her short-sleeved shirt, twirling her body, and vanishing in a puff of smoke.

"So annoying," Su Hang muttered, rolling over to resume his sleep, but not long after, Lu Xingshang, the third oldest, charged in.

"Fourth, something big's happened. Look at this Weibo post; it's trending," Lu Xingshang thrust the phone in front of him.

Su Hang opened his bleary eyes, and the headline of the Weibo post read: Starlet Tang Lifen's secret night rendezvous with mysterious boyfriend.

There were three blurry photos underneath. It was night, and Tang Lifen's face could barely be recognized, while only his side profile was captured, even less clear.

"How is this a big deal? Boring!" said Su Hang.

"Ever since Tang Lifen's debut, she's barely had any scandals," Hong Yun walked in from outside, "Fourth, you've got some nerve. First, you became an internet sensation with my goddess Liu Qing, then you turned down the school beauty Li Xiaowei, and now you've brought a top domestic star to our dorm."

"Even if walls could talk, I would still be impressed by you, that's badass!" Lu Xingshang gave a thumbs-up.

Su Hang waved his hand and said, "You've got it all wrong; we're just pure friends."

"You're sharing a blanket and you're still pure? Who are you trying to fool?" Lu Xingshang was a mixture of envy and resentment.

Hong Yun snorted, "You're really full of it. In a few days, call your younger sister and treat us to a meal. I won't be satisfied until I've squeezed you for what you're worth to relieve the frustration in my heart."

"Right, no treat, no brotherhood," Lu Xingshang chimed in, egging on the situation.

"I really have nothing going on with Tang Lifen; nothing happened between us last night. I'm a man with a girlfriend and integrity," Su Hang emphasized.

"Still innocent? Just look at what the general public thinks," Lu Xingshang showed him the comments under the Weibo post.

The comments varied, some were downright filthy and not fit for the eyes.

Of course, many defended Tang Lifen. It was clear they were her die-hard fans. Even before daybreak, a fierce battle of words had broken out in the comments section of Weibo.

Just then, Su Hang's phone pinged with a message notification. He looked down to find it was from Tang Lifen.
