17 Super Red Envelope (2/2)

Chen was shocked and said, ”Of course, the answer is going to be a yes. But, is it ok for us to move on at such a fast pace?”

Eh? It sounded familiar. Chen had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where and when he had heard it.

”What do you mean by move on?”

Lan rolled her eyes on Chen and said in a pouty tone, ”What kind of nonsense is that? What I'm trying to say is, I want to invite you to my grandma's birthday party! It happens three days from now!”

”Erm…”

Chen was so embarrassed. He finally recalled that he had said the same thing to Lin Xiang.

”I think I'm sick. I need to see a doctor. I'm such a dirty bastard for always thinking about doing my Lan.” Chen thought.

”Yes! I'm willing to go!” Chen quickly nodded his head. He could not let Lan know about his dirty thoughts.

”That's good!”

Lan smiled, ”I will contact you before my grandma's birthday party. I'm bringing you in to transform your image.”

”Oh… Great!” Chen scratched the tip of his nose and thought that it was time for him to toss away the poor farmer image. He thought, ”I have money now. I should treat myself better.”

”Remember, three days from now. Don't miss the appointment.” The corners of Lan's lips moved upwards slightly. Her eyes were like the stars in the sky that shone right into Chen's heart.

”So gorgeous...” Chen was gasping in admiration and Lan was pouting playfully.

After Chen sent Lan back to her dorm, he walked to a spot where he was sure no one could see him. He quickly took out his cellphone. It was his intention to check on the three Red Envelopes that he received earlier. He saw a message when he turned on his cellphone. The profile picture of the person who had left him a message was rather good looking. His name was The Prime of Tongtian.

”Oh shit! The previous owner of the Scripture of Heaven and Earth is here to look for me! But, I had not added him as a friend...” Chen was getting really confused. He opened the message and read it.

The Prime of Tongtian: Young man, don't be afraid. I used my mighty power to modify the coding of Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms. Divine ”hacking”, if you will. That was why I could add you as my friend without your consent.

”What the f*ck! How is it possible for him to know what I am thinking of right now!?” Chen was really surprised.

The Prime of Tongtian: I know the things that you are thinking right now and I also know that you have enormous potential within you. That was why I gifted you the Scripture of Heaven and Earth.

”I'm going to faint right now. Please don't tell me that he is going to ask me to protect the earth next because that's how a typical movie proceeds.” Chen felt like something bad was going to happen.

There was no need to type out a single word when Chen chatted with The Prime of Tongtian, because he could read Chen's mind.

The Prime of Tongtian: You are witty enough to know what is going to happen. However, your assumption is wrong. I don't need you to protect the earth. I need you to maintain the peace between the three different realms. Prepare your heart. It is going to happen soon!

”No way… You are really scaring me…” Chen kept on swallowing his saliva because this incident had evolved into something that he couldn't possibly handle.

The Prime of Tongtian: I don't have time to explain anything more to you right now. I have a meeting to attend at the Great Void. What I want you to do right now is to train yourself as hard as possible. I'm going to look for you when I have more time.

”Hold on! The Prime of Tongtian! Will I be kicked out from the Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms?” Chen asked quickly. It had been nagging at him since the beginning.
