PFC Chapter 174 The Grand Show Begins
Chapter 174 The Grand Show Begins
The three NPCs improvised, tearing each other apart, and staged a dramatic emotional spectacle on the spot.
hiss--
To be honest, I'm actually kind of looking forward to it.
Game planner, don't let the players down!
"The city lord's deep affection and kindness are truly admirable."
Chen You said calmly, "Go quickly, Juan'er is waiting for you."
Meng De was completely blinded by love at this moment, and bowed to Chen You again.
Then he turned around and left in a hurry, muttering to himself.
"Juan'er, I'm here! I'll never let you suffer again!"
Chen You didn't delay any longer and set off to find Du Chedi.
In a house deep in the alley, Du Chedi, who had been rescued, was leaning against the wall, staring blankly at the sky.
He survived, but the last breath that kept him going seemed to begin to dissipate as his body began to recover.
He couldn't find any meaning in living.
"Would you like to ask them face-to-face to get to the bottom of this?"
Chen You's voice came from the doorway, calm yet carrying an undeniable power.
Du Chedi's cloudy eyes struggled to move, looking at Chen You. His lips moved, but no sound came out.
Without wasting any words, Chen You walked straight up to him and looked down at him.
"I'll take you to see her."
"Ask her directly about all your resentment, bitterness, and doubts."
"Whatever the outcome, it's better than rotting here like a dead dog."
Without waiting for his response, Chen You reached out and easily lifted the emaciated Du Chedi into his arms.
Du Chedi's body was very light, and Chen You placed him steadily on the back of the giant white rabbit.
"Hold on tight."
Chen You flipped himself onto the white rabbit and gave a casual instruction.
The next second, the white rabbit exerted force with all four hooves, transforming into a blur as it instantly rushed out of the alley and sped towards the Wangting Tower.
……
Wangting Tower.
The newly emerging entertainment venues in Qianguang City are also the favorite gathering place for countless players in their spare time.
However, it's getting late, and there are only a handful of players left.
At this moment, on the stage of the teahouse, Cai Wenjuan is holding a pipa and singing softly.
The song "Heartbreak" was so poignant and moving that it captivated the audience.
Just as the music reached its climax, at the height of its emotion—
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the gate of Wangting Tower was kicked open.
A figure dressed in the city lord's finest robes, with bloodshot eyes, charged in with an indomitable aura.
It was Mengde!
The music stopped abruptly.
All eyes were drawn to this unexpected guest.
"The city... the city lord?"
"Why is he here?"
The players and NPCs below the stage erupted in uproar.
Meng De ignored the gazes around him, staring intently at Cai Wenjuan on the stage, his eyes filled with burning passion and regret.
"Juan'er!"
He roared, his voice trembling with excitement.
"It's me! Mengde! I've come to pick you up!"
This sound, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, silenced the entire teahouse.
On stage, Cai Wenjuan's hand holding the pipa froze, her face turned deathly pale, and her eyes were filled with shock and astonishment.
After a brief silence, a thunderous clamor erupted from the audience.
"Holy crap! What's going on?! The city lord is trying to kidnap people?"
"What kind of mission is this? What did I miss?"
"Quiet down! I'm grilling!"
The players were flushed with excitement, as if they were about to witness an annual event that would go down in history.
Meng De walked step by step onto the stage, stood in front of Cai Wenjuan, and spoke with deep affection.
"Juan'er, I'm sorry! I was wrong! I shouldn't have been so captivated by this false sense of comfort that I forgot about you!"
"From this day forward, I only want you! I want to make you the most honored woman in Thousand Light City!"
Cai Wenjuan was stunned by this sudden confession. She instinctively stepped back, at a loss for what to do.
"Brother Meng... Lord City Lord... you... I..."
"You don't need to say anything, I know!"
Meng De grabbed her wrist, his tone domineering and leaving no room for argument, "Come with me!"
Just as this dramatic scene was about to reach its climax, a leisurely voice came from the doorway.
"Thankfully, I made it in time."
Everyone turned around at the sound.
A handsome young man dressed in a black robe embroidered with stars in the Milky Way strolled in leisurely.
Beside him, he was supporting a ragged, emaciated man.
It was Chen You and Du Chedi.
"It's that big shot!"
"He's here again! What's he doing bringing a beggar with him?"
"Wait a minute... I'm not quite sure what this plot is about?"
The players' chatter subsided, and everyone sensed that the real storm was just beginning.
Ignoring everyone's gaze, Chen You walked to the front of the stage and gently placed Du Chedi on the ground as if he were unloading cargo.
He patted Du Chedi on the shoulder and said softly, "It's your stage, please begin your performance."
After Du was lowered from under the car, his body went limp and he almost fell over.
He struggled to lift his head, and the moment his gaze met that of the stunningly beautiful, panicked woman on the stage, the whole world seemed to freeze.
Time seemed to flow backwards to three years ago at this moment.
"Juan...Juan'er?"
The sound from under the car was hoarse, dry, and filled with disbelief.
On the stage, Cai Wenjuan, who was being dragged by Meng De, was struck dumb when she saw Du Chedi's face!
The color drained from her face in an instant, and her body began to tremble violently.
The surprise in his eyes was instantly replaced by endless fear and guilt.
"Under the car...?"
She gasped in shock, her voice trembling uncontrollably.
Meng De was also stunned.
He looked at the beggar who had suddenly appeared, and then at Cai Wenjuan's drastically changed expression. A sense of foreboding welled up in his heart.
"Juan'er, who is he?" Meng De asked, frowning.
This question seemed to ignite a powder keg.
The atmosphere at the scene instantly changed from a romantic drama of "the domineering city lord snatching the bride" to an ethical drama of "the main character versus the mistress".
The eyes of everyone watching lit up!
Chen You leaned against the pillar with his arms crossed, looking quite relaxed, almost ready to grab a handful of melon seeds.
Hmm, it's almost done.
It's time to... add some serious spice.
With a thought, he took out the strangely shaped [Red Thread Puppet] from his backpack.
The puppet was entirely black, with a sinister smile painted on its face, sending chills down one's spine.
Chen You's gaze swept between Du Chedi and Meng De.
His fingertip lightly tapped the air, and the target was locked—
Mengde!
Du Chedi!
[Ding! Do you wish to use the special item "Red Thread Puppet" on NPCs "Meng De" and "Du Chedi"?]
"Confirmed," Chen You silently thought to himself.
The next moment, a red line almost invisible to the naked eye shot out from the puppet's body.
One end was connected to Mengde's brow, while the other end shot into Duchedi's brow.
Both of them jolted simultaneously and froze on the spot.
Their eyes were bloodshot as they stared intently at each other, as if they wanted to devour each other alive.
They were unable to move or look away.
[Ding! "Open and Honest Communication" has been activated and will last for ten minutes!]
During this period, both parties will disregard all external interference and reveal their truest thoughts!
Chen You's smile widened.
Come on, let me see...
How crazy can this Origin Realm become!
In the deathly silence, a hoarse, weak, yet crystal-clear voice broke the silence first.
It's under the car.
His tears, mixed with grime, slid down his face as he spoke to Mengde, each word distinct and clear.
"Three years ago, wasn't it you who broke my leg?!"
