Chapter 77: Too Crazy

This was Lin Meng’s first time facing such a situation. Although he felt a bit spooked, he quickly calmed down and took the initiative to meet them head-on.

He wanted to test just how strong he had become after breaking through to the Qi Vortex Realm.

In a flash, Lin Meng arrived in front of a burly man who viciously swung a fist at him. However, in Lin Meng’s eyes, the man’s movements were like slow motion in a movie. He dodged the attack with ease. Then, he smashed a fist into the man’s lower abdomen.

"Ah!"

The burly man let out a miserable shriek. As if struck by a truck, he flew backward for dozens of meters, sprawling motionless on the ground like a dead dog.

Holy shit! This was way too brutal!

Everyone present was frightened by the scene, their jaws dropping wide open. The remaining burly men didn’t even dare to move a muscle.

Sending a person flying over a dozen meters with a single punch... Was he even human?!

Lin Meng was also shocked by his own strength. He stood stunned for a good while before turning around and slowly walking toward Guo Lin.

"What... what do you want to do?" Guo Lin backed away in terror and plopped down onto his butt. With a trembling voice, he said, "I’m warning you, my dad is a big boss in the county! If you dare to touch me, my dad definitely won’t let you off!"

Lin Meng stopped in his tracks, looking at him with sympathetic eyes. "Don’t worry, I won’t touch you. After all, you have a terminal illness and are basically a dying man. I just wanted to warn you not to pester Sister Yan anymore. You’d better honestly go to a hospital for treatment. You might even live a few days longer."

"You... you dare curse me?" Guo Lin was furious, but he didn’t dare to lash out.

"Believe it or not!"

Lin Meng couldn’t be bothered with him. He turned around and returned to Zhu Yan and Zhao Lingshan. "Sister Lingshan, let’s go."

"You brat, I didn’t expect your fighting skills to be this amazing. You really kept it hidden." Zhao Lingshan wore a look of awe, her beautiful eyes sparkling with little stars.

"Ahem, it’s just average." Lin Meng put his hands behind his back, putting on the air of an otherworldly master.

"Xiaomeng, what did you mean when you said Guo Lin had a terminal illness just now?" Zhu Yan asked in a lowered voice, her gaze also filled with admiration as she looked at him.

After all, it was hard not to love such a fierce and powerful man!

"Oh, that. I was just scaring him on purpose," Lin Meng casually made up an excuse.

In reality, the moment he first saw Guo Lin, he had sensed an uncomfortable aura coming from him. When he looked with his Yin-Yang X-ray Eye, he discovered a cloud of deathly energy hovering around the man’s lower abdomen. According to the records of the Yin Yang Great Dao Skill, such people usually suffered from a terminal illness and didn’t have long to live.

"I see." Zhu Yan didn’t overthink it. Paying Guo Lin no further mind, she led the two of them into the residential complex.

After they had gone far away.

"Damn it, I can’t believe I lost to a country bumpkin today. I have to get revenge for this..." Guo Lin stood up, cursing profusely. "Ouch, it hurts so much!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he clutched his stomach, sweating profusely from the pain.

"Young Master Guo, what’s wrong?" A burly man quickly supported him.

"My stomach hurts so much. Take me to the hospital, quickly." Guo Lin’s face was filled with agony. Recalling Lin Meng’s words from earlier, a chill ran down his spine. Had that country kid actually been right?

Meanwhile, inside Zhu Yan’s home.

"Lingshan, Xiaomeng, have a seat first. I’ll go brew some tea for you." After entering, Zhu Yan invited the two to sit on the sofa before heading to the kitchen to make tea.

Lin Meng sat down and casually looked around. Zhu Yan’s apartment wasn’t particularly large, but it was decorated in a very warm and romantic way, filled with a faint, elegant fragrance. He noted to himself that she was a woman who lived a very refined life.

A short while later, Zhu Yan finished brewing the tea. She poured a cup each for Lin Meng and Zhao Lingshan, sat down across from them, and got straight to the point. "Xiaomeng, regarding the Beauty Liquid, how do you want to collaborate with me?"

Lin Meng shook his head. "I don’t really understand these things. Sister Yan, you should tell me your thoughts first."

Zhu Yan smiled. "You’re Lingshan’s younger brother, and you just helped me out. I won’t beat around the bush; I’ll show you my utmost sincerity right now.

"If I directly buy your Beauty Liquid to sell, you’d definitely be taking a loss. The best approach is to adopt a profit-sharing model.

"You provide me with the Beauty Liquid or the formula, and then we split the net profits sixty-forty. You take sixty percent, and I take forty. How does that sound?"

Lin Meng thought about it. This model did seem quite good, so he nodded. "Sure."

Seeing him agree, Zhu Yan immediately became extremely excited. "Xiaomeng, I have one more condition. In the future, can you supply your Beauty Liquid exclusively to me?

"This way, my store will be the only one selling the Beauty Liquid, and I can freely control the pricing."

Lin Meng paused for a moment and slightly shook his head. "I’ll need to think about that."

Even though Zhu Yan was Zhao Lingshan’s friend, Lin Meng didn’t completely trust her. Business was all about profits. Many people were willing to do anything for money, so it was better to keep his guard up.

"Alright then," Zhu Yan replied, suddenly feeling a bit anxious in her heart.

After all, she was the one who understood the true value of the Beauty Liquid the most. If she could firmly hold it in her grasp, it would absolutely change her destiny. More importantly, she was certain that once the Beauty Liquid became popular, many people far more powerful than her would beg Lin Meng for a partnership, offering much better conditions. By then, she would lose whatever advantage she had. These thoughts were purely her own selfish desires, making it impossible to state them directly to Lin Meng.

Next, the two discussed some more details regarding their collaboration and finalized their initial business model. Lin Meng would supply the goods regularly, while she would handle the marketing and sales, splitting the net profits sixty-forty. Moreover, the Beauty Liquid still needed a few improvements to make its color and scent more appealing.

After hashing everything out, Zhu Yan asked Lin Meng and Zhao Lingshan to wait at the house while she went out to print the contract.

"Phew... You’re finally done talking. Just listening to business matters gives me a headache," Zhao Lingshan said, stretching her back and letting out a long breath.

"Sister Lingshan, thank you so much for this time," Lin Meng said from the bottom of his heart.

"You know I’m your older sister, so why are you being so polite over such a small matter? Besides, I only made the introduction. I won’t interfere with anything else," Zhao Lingshan said meaningfully.

Lin Meng nodded heavily. "I understand, Sister Lingshan. I’m a man; I can’t rely on a woman’s backing and help forever!"

"As long as you understand. I’m a bit tired, so I’m going to rest in Yanyan’s room for a while." Seeing that Lin Meng grasped her intent, Zhao Lingshan felt deeply gratified. She stood up and walked toward Zhu Yan’s bedroom.

However, the moment she pushed open the bedroom door, she immediately let out a gasp of surprise. "Oh my god, this... this is way too crazy!"

"Sister Lingshan, what happened?" Seeing her reaction, Lin Meng quickly got up and hurried over.

When he arrived at the bedroom door and saw the scene inside, he also stood dumbfounded.

The bed in the room was completely covered with sex toys for women. The most conspicuous one was a realistic male toy of an outrageously massive size, almost rivaling Lin Meng’s own dimensions. The other item was a small machine topped with an equally exaggerated realistic toy. However, this was Lin Meng’s first time seeing such a contraption, so he had no idea that it was called a sex machine!
