Chapter 434: Big Brother-in-Law Is About to Begin His First Battle to Fame and Make a Name for Himself Across Magic City

Just as the Tang siblings were letting bygones be bygones, eating fruit, and reconnecting as family………

In the next room over.

Tang Rou was lying on the bed with her ear pressed tightly against the wall, desperately trying to eavesdrop on the conversation next door.

Unfortunately, the room’s soundproofing was too good, and Tang Rou couldn’t hear a single thing, only occasionally catching faint, indistinct laughter.

What’s going on?! Why does it sound like there’s laughter?

That makes no sense, right? Shouldn’t what’s coming from over there……..

Shouldn’t it be Tang Ling’s crying instead?!

What exactly did Tang Chuan go next door to do? |?)

Wasn’t he supposed to be helping me vent my anger? Then why is there laughter?

Tang Rou frowned tightly, and a bad feeling kept rising in her heart, as though something had completely slipped out of her grasp………

It made her inexplicably panic!

Calm down. Maybe this is…. mocking laughter. Right, right, right, it’s definitely mocking laughter……….

That little bitch Tang Ling, the moment she saw Third Brother bring a plate of fruit to find her, she probably thought spring had come and that the family finally cared about her……….

Little did she know, Third Brother went to see her for my sake.

Just as Tang Ling was getting carried away, Third Brother would sneer, point at her nose, and mock her smugly:

“(￣,￣) Idiot, do you really think you deserve to have me bring fruit for you? You really have no self-awareness at all!”

“I’m telling you! The only sister I have is Tang Rou. Only Tang Rou deserves to eat the fruit I bring. A country bumpkin like you doesn’t deserve it at all!!!”

“………….”

Imagining the scene of the siblings next door ‘turning against each other,’ Tang Rou gradually calmed down and once again curled her lips into a smug smile.

Yoshi~~~~

Now THAT is the ideal plot development~~~~~

Deceiving herself and fully settling her nerves, Tang Rou once again pressed her right cheek against the wall, trying to eavesdrop on the ugly insults Tang Chuan was supposedly hurling.

……………

In the room next door.

The siblings, having let go of their grievances, were chatting enthusiastically and sharing stories from their childhoods.

Of course, in most cases it was Tang Chuan doing the talking while Tang Ling listened quietly.

There was no helping it. After all, her childhood memories were almost nothing but pain………

Fortunately, Tang Chuan was, after all, a second-tier celebrity and had been on plenty of variety shows, so he did have some basic sense of humor. Every now and then he managed to make Tang Ling giggle nonstop.

The room was filled with a harmonious, friendly atmosphere, full of laughter and joy.

At this moment, Tang Ling finally couldn’t hold back her curiosity anymore and asked why Tang Chuan had suddenly become so enlightened.

He had clearly been siding with Tang Rou before………

Yet in just one afternoon, he had suddenly stopped being blind and heart-blind, and even came to her room to repent.

Tang Ling was very curious about what exactly had happened during this time, what unseen event had caused such a huge change in him………

Faced with his younger sister’s curious gaze, Tang Chuan blushed and found it a bit hard to talk about.

He had originally wanted to laugh it off and brush it aside, but under his little sister’s pitifully expectant stare, he finally gave in and haltingly began recounting everything that had happened after he left the house that afternoon………..

“Pfft—”

When she heard the explosive revelations about Wu Mengmeng’s fake pregnancy, the pig blood, the AV actress past, and true love Song Ze, Tang Ling couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing on the spot.

Awesome!

To run into a weirdo like that—Third Bro even almost walked into the hall of marriage with her.

Everyone, burst into laughter~~~ heh heh heh~~~~

“Cough cough cough…… Third Brother, I’m not laughing at you! Pfft—! Go on, go on……..”

Under Tang Chuan’s resentful gaze, Tang Ling viciously pinched her own thigh several times before finally forcing back her laughter and motioning for him to continue.

But when Tang Chuan swore up and down, repeatedly emphasizing that he’d already awakened as a man, learned to open his eyes and see the world, and would become Magic City ’s number one scumbag from now on. His cringey, chuunibyou proclamation……..

Tang Ling still couldn’t hold it in. Clutching her stomach, she laughed until tears came out.

“……………”

At this moment, weak, helpless, and utterly drained of the will to live, Tang Chuan shut down.

(＃￣～￣＃)。

Yet as he looked at his sister laughing nonstop, the doting affection in his eyes couldn’t be hidden at all.

Very quickly, the topic shifted to overhearing the ‘inner voice.’

“(owo?) Nani?! You can hear the inner voice too?”

Learning that Tang Chuan was also one of the chosen, Tang Ling’s jaw practically dropped, o(⊙▽⊙”a blurting out in shock.

……………

Because she had shouted rather loudly, the sound faintly carried into Tang Rou’s room next door.

Inner voice?

What inner voice? What are they talking about in there?

Why does Tang Ling sound so happy, like she’s laughing? She doesn’t sound upset at all.

Could it be Third Brother really didn’t help me vent my anger???

Then what has he been doing in Tang Ling’s room for so long? Doesn’t he care that I might overthink and feel hurt?

In the past, because he worried I’d get upset, Third Brother would always deliberately keep his distance from Tang Ling and try to reduce the chances of being alone with her……..

So how come it’s already been half an hour now?

And they’re still chatting nonstop? What is there to talk about???

Tang Rou’s face turned ashen, and the more she thought about it in her room, the angrier she became.

Hmph, that damned Third Brother!

If he can’t give me a satisfactory explanation………

Then this time, I definitely won’t forgive him that easily. I absolutely must make him clearly understand who his proud and precious good little sister really is?!!

Tang Rou wore a fierce expression, determined to give Tang Chuan a thorough reckoning.

……………

Meanwhile.

The Tang siblings exchanged intel, sharing their experiences of hearing the inner voice.

“That’s right! Just like Dad and Mom, I can hear Cousin’s inner voice too!”

“To be honest, we all owe Cousin our lives. He has done our Tang clan a great favor!”

“If it weren’t for the warnings in his inner voice, it looks like the fate of our Tang family would have headed straight into tragedy!”

“………….”

After returning home, the more Tang Chuan thought about it, the more frightened he became in hindsight. He felt that he owed his cousin at least two lives………

The first time, he had almost been tricked into going to Myanmar and having his kidney and heart dug out.

The second time, he had almost been tricked into being sent to Africa, where he would have died after getting his butt violated by a group of black men.

If not for Cousin being by his side, those two crucial turning points in his life would have been enough to plunge him into an endless abyss.

Because of that, Tang Chuan now felt incomparable admiration and gratitude toward his cousin!!!!!

You could put it this way………..

Aside from the fact that the position of NO.1 in his heart still belonged immovably to the Song God [L], even Tang Dad and Tang Mom now had to rank beneath Cousin Lin Xuan.

Cousin, YYDS?!!!!!

At the side, Tang Ling felt exactly the same. She was equally full of gratitude toward Lin Xuan, and her thoughts were almost identical to Tang Chuan’s.

Without her golden-finger cousin, Tang Ling would never have the carefree life of food and clothing she had today.

If he had not rescued her from Chu Family Village………

How could she have known her true background?

Maybe in just a few years, she would have muddle-headedly died somewhere in some forgotten corner of the village, and before dying would still have suffered humiliation from that beastly father, living in pain worse than death!!!!!

Miserable, miserable, miserable. How could one single word “miserable” ever begin to cover it?!

Fortunately, with Cousin’s help, she had been given a new life. And in truth, Cousin’s help to her went far beyond just that……..

When she had first returned to the Tang family, she had seen clearly how much her parents and brothers favored Tang Rou, and how distant they were toward her.

Tang Ling saw all of it.

Now, the reason the Tang family’s attitude had changed so dramatically, why they had begun to recognize the fake heiress’s true face and turn closer to her, was ultimately also because they had collectively overheard Cousin’s inner voice………

Otherwise, they would most likely have continued believing the fake heiress’s words and suppressing and alienating Tang Ling in every way.

And in the end, that would have led her, in utter despair, to seize Wangcai’s dog leash and hang herself in the bathroom, her tongue hanging long out, dying with her eyes refusing to close………

For Tang Ling as she was now, compared to Tang Dad, Tang Mom, and the other direct blood relatives, Cousin Lin Xuan was truly NO.1 in her heart, and no one could replace him.

As someone who benefited firsthand, she was more grateful to Lin Xuan than anyone.

Only when she was by Cousin Lin Xuan’s side did she feel a deep sense of security, a feeling like home……..

After all, the reason she could escape that demonic household and embrace real happiness was largely thanks to Lin Xuan.

And besides, Cousin was her golden finger!!!

If Tang Ling, who saw herself as a fated daughter, wanted her superpower to work, she had to cling tightly to Lin Xuan’s golden thigh………

…………

At the Su family estate.

Lin Xuan, who was pushing his wife around the manor under the moonlight while the two chatted and laughed, constantly radiating the sour stench of romance, suddenly froze.

His head filled with black question marks?!

Huh???

(?◇?) What the heck is going on?!

I clearly didn’t do anything, so why did my uncle’s whole family suddenly all increase their favorability toward me???

Although he was a little puzzled, Lin Xuan didn’t care too much. He quickly shifted his thoughts to tomorrow’s main event.

……………

[Tomorrow the Jianghu Life-and-Death Duel is about to begin. With Brother-in-Law’s classic breakthrough battle to fame, tsk tsk tsk…… no matter what, I have to make time to go show some support, right? →_→]

[Although I haven’t paid much attention to Brother-in-Law’s movements lately, I still know he’s been busy going around showing off, slapping faces, and increasing his strength.]

[At least the plot progression hasn’t fallen behind at all……..]

[But whatever, it doesn’t matter! Anyway, I’ve already become the protagonist’s brother-in-law, so in the future I can just lie flat and coast behind Big Brother-in-Law.]

[If someone truly blind tries to cause trouble, then…… shut the gate and release Big Brother-in-Law!!!]

……………

Lin Xuan was feeling delighted, leisurely thinking to himself.

At the same time, he made up his mind that tomorrow, he absolutely had to go to the scene and observe his brother-in-law’s battle to make his name.

In the original book, this was the biggest climactic plotline for the protagonist in the early stage.

Rumor had it that after countless readers finished reading it, they were so thrilled they lost control of themselves, wetting and soiling themselves on the spot. Some even, in order to urge updates faster and see what happened next, did not hesitate to bankrupt themselves, sell their houses and buildings, and frantically send gifts to that damn author on Tomato………

Things like [King of Gifts], [Great God Certification], [Full-Service Massage], [Mass Update Flowers], [Completion 666] ………

That day, the entire ‘Tomato Free Novels’ app crashed and died on the spot from the massive amount of gifts.

Countless gifts came smashing toward that damn author, making him financially free on the spot, leaving his name in history, and letting him reach the peak of life!!!!!

After the fantasy time ended, Lin Xuan couldn’t help feeling troubled again.

What reason should he find tomorrow to separate from his wife in a perfectly justified way, then secretly run over to the scene to watch the battle?!

Or…….

Should he simply bring Qingge along?

Anyway, if they were only watching the battle, there would not be any danger!

When the time came, in order to show off in front of his own younger sister, would his brother-in-law become as fired up as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and have his combat doubled on the spot???
