The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 32 Villa for Holiday!

“What right do you have to beat us? Do you believe that I’ll call the police?”

The man, who felt very dizzy after being slapped on the face, questioned while covering his swollen face. However, the fear in his eyes could not be hidden, which showed that he was a paper tiger.

The strong man spat contemptuously at him and said, “Call the police as you want to. But you’d better pray that you’ll remain in one piece before the police come.”

“I didn’t offend you…”

Before the man finished his words, the strong man interrupted him by saying, “You didn’t provoke me, but you offended someone you shouldn’t.”

After saying that, the strong man grabbed the camera in the man’s hand and smashed it on his head.

The man fainted without a sound.

Seeing that his companion was knocked down by the camera, and smelling the blood smell of these strong men, the other man was scared and trembled and turned to flee.

However, he was so panicked that he lost his balance and fell on the ground as soon as he turn around.

Before he could get up, those strong men rushed over and immediately punched and kicked him.

“Damn, how dare you snap His Honor and Miss Tang in secret? You’re seeking death.”

One of the strong men turned on the camera and saw a photo of Tang Rou holding Chu Xun’s arm. Because of the shooting angle, the two in the photo looked like in an ambiguous relationship.

The strong man raised up the camera and knocked the screaming man fiercely on the head with it, and did not stop until the man was covered in blood and passed out.

“His Honor and Miss Tang could be a perfect couple!” a strong man looked through the photos in the camera and said.

The camera was of good quality, considering that it remained undamaged even after it was used to knock a man into unconsciousness.

“Do you want to die? Hurry up and delete the photos. We should never gossip about His Honor,” a strong man scolded in a low voice.

“What I said is true. Look, His Honor is handsome, while Miss Tang is sweet and lovely. They were born to be a couple. But His Honor is too young, looking like a teen.”

“You’re right. The point is that His Honor’s skin is so fine, even better than that of many women. I really want to know how he takes care of his skin. If I get to know that, I could take care of my handsome face as well.”

“Come on. Look at your big dark face. No matter how you take care of it, you will still look like a chimpanzee.”

“Haha… I agree. He always thought that he wasn’t handsome because he had dark skin and not because he did not have a handsome face. However, the star Gu Tianle, he looks handsome even with dark skin.”

These burly men actually started to talk about skin care, and they talked so excitedly that they did not notice Chu Xun, who had been standing behind them for a long time.

“Are you members of the Dragon Eagle Gang?”

Chu Xun had no choice but to speak to remind them.

These men were startled by the sudden voice. They turned around in a hurry and found that Chu Xun was behind them.

“Bang!”

The camera in the strong man’s hand fell to the ground and broke into two halves.

The other men also changed their expressions and looked feared.

They had talked about Chu Xun for a long while and did not know how much Chu Xun had heard about their chatting. Although they did not speak ill of him, it was not good to talk about others behind them, let alone talk about someone like Chu Xun.

The strong man who had tried to stop others from talking about Chu Xun looked at them fiercely. He forced himself to come forward and said respectfully to Chu Xun, “Sir, we are indeed members of the Dragon Eagle Gang. Brother Long ordered us to protect Miss Tang secretly.”

Chu Xun nodded and glanced at other people.

Those who were glanced at by Chu Xun had beads of sweats on their foreheads.

“Thank you!” Chu Xun suddenly said.

When he accompanied Tang Rou out, he found that some people were snapping them secretly. Actually, he was afraid of nothing but that these paparazzi would write nonsense about him and Tang Rou. After all, Tang Rou was a new star that negative news was bad to her.

Chu Xun wanted to take back the photos himself, but he had not expected these strong men to be one step ahead of him.

It was fine to him. This kind of people were necessary to deal with the paparazzi.

Uh…!

These strong men were stunned.

“You’re welcome… you’re welcome. It’s our honor to protect Miss Tang!” someone finally reacted and said in a stuttering tone.

“You guys can take a rest today. There’s no need to follow Miss Tang today.” Chu Xun nodded at them and turned to leave.

After taking two steps, he stopped, looked back, and said with a smile, “My skin was born to be good and did not rely on skin care.”

…

After Chu Xun left for a long while, the several strong men finally reacted. They wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads, and breathed a sigh of relief heavily.

Chu Xun standing there alone gave them terrifying pressure.

“What did His Honor’s last sentence mean?” someone asked in a low voice.

“I don’t think His Honor was blaming us.”

“Cut the crap. His Honor is like an immortal from heaven. How would he take it seriously with us? If he really gets angry, he could send us to hell with a wave of his hand.”

…

“Did you hear His Honor say ‘thank you’ to me?”

One of the strong men said excitedly, but others all rolled their eyes at him.

“Well, I don’t think he said that to you. He said that to me, ok?”

“Fu*k, how could you so shameless? Didn’t you see that when His Honor said ‘thank you’, he was looking at me? Obviously, he said that to me.”

“…”

Those big men quarreled over the words Chu Xun had said.

Chu Xun had heard every single word of those men, and he shook his head helplessly.

…

Back in his car, Chu Xun drove to his destination.

This time, the video Tang Rou was about to shoot was about environmental protection, and the shooting site was at a resort named Villa of Plum and Lakes.

The villa was located in the suburbs and was a little far. It took Chu Xun over one hour to drive to there.

There was not much pollution in the western suburbs. Looking from afar, the sky was blue, the cloud was white, the trees made a pleasant shade, which made the villa look like a heaven of peace and happiness.

The staff of the villa had been waiting at the gate.

Vehicles were not allowed to enter the villa, and there were only electric and environment-friendly sightseeing wagons running inside.

Chu Xun parked the car, and the three of them went in under the guidance of the staff.

The three of them got into the wagon that had been prepared for them.

The villa was very large. Along the way, there were green hills, green rivers, and golf course. The sightseers could get a wide view of the scenery, and the endless green scenery made people feel very comfortable.

“The environment here is so good!” Tang Rou couldn’t help but exclaim.

She had seen too many skyscrapers and been used to the air filled with car exhaust when living in urban areas. When she suddenly came to such a peaceful place, she felt relaxed and extremely comfortable.

Chu Xun nodded, but his expression remained unchanged. During the 3,000 years when he lived in another world, he faced this kind of environment every day, so for him, there was nothing to be happy about.

Chu Xun and Tang Rou enjoyed the scenery along the way and breathed in the fresh air full of flower fragrance. They casually chatted about their childhood and soon arrived at a wooden building.

On the open space in front of the small building, a group of people was fiddling with the shooting equipment. When they saw Tang Rou, a white and fat man with long hair came up to her with a Buddha-like smile.

“Director Lu, nice to meet you!” Tang Rou greeted him with a smile after getting off the car.

“Tang Rou, I have to thank you this time!” Director Lu said gratefully.

Because it was a project of the public good, the theme of which was to call on people to protect the environment, the investment was only a few million yuan.

Nowadays, the remuneration of the actors who were a bit famous was about tens of millions yuan. After deducting the salary of the shooting team, there was not much money left. As a result, Director Lu could not afford to hire an actor.

Because Director Lu had helped Tang Rou shoot a MV before, they could be regarded as old acquaintances. He called Tang Rou tentatively, and to his surprise, Tang Rou agreed after hearing his request and participated in the project for free.

This made Director Lu very grateful to her.

Besides, as a quiet and tender girl, Tang Rou was in line with the shooting style this time.

“You’re welcome, Director Lu. I’m glad to work with you as long as you don’t care I’m an inexperienced actress,” said Tang Rou with a smile.

Director Lu smiled and said nothing more. There was no need to say too much about something; otherwise, it would be very hypocritical. It was enough for him to keep this favor in mind.

“Tang Rou, take a break first. I’ll make some preparations, and then we can start shooting.”

“Okay, Director Lu, go ahead with your work!”

Tang Rou walked to a shady place with Chu Xun hand in hand and sat down.

Director Lu was a little surprised to see that. He knew Tang Rou well. He had never seen Tang Rou being so intimate with a man. Seeing Tang Rou’s action, he looked at Chu Xun, whom he did not pay any attention to before, curiously.

At a glance, Director Lu was stunned because Chu Xun had a clean and pure aura. As the theme of the shooting project was environmental protection, Chu Xun’s aura was in line with the project.

However, Director Lu soon gave up this idea for the leading actor of the project had been determined and he could not break the contract. He could not afford to pay the penalty either.

“Brother Chu Xun, what are you looking at?” Tang Rou asked when she spotted that Chu Xun kept looking deep into the villa.

“Nothing, I’m just curious about what place it is and what kind of beautiful scenery there is,” Chu Xun said casually.

In fact, after arriving there, Chu Xun sensed a familiar energy fluctuation from the deepest part of the villa, but he was not sure whether it was what he thought to be.

Director Lu had been paying attention to Chu Xun and Tang Rou. After hearing what Chu Xun said, he said with a smile, “There is nothing but a pool of stagnant water. It’s a place you should never go.”

“Why?” Tang Rou asked curiously.

“I heard that when the villa was built, that place was included in the construction plan. However, strange things happened one after another when that place was under construction. Some people went mad or got killed eccentrically. Later, the Mei Family locked that place and did not open it to public,” Director Lu explained.

Chu Xun’s expression changed. If what Director Lu said was true, he could almost be sure about what there was.

…

At this moment, two electric wagons drove over and stopped.

A handsome young man got off the wagon first.

“Brother Kai, please slow down!” a man in tight pants and a variegated shirt came up from the second wagon, and said with a sharp voice while lifting his little finger.

“Lin Kai, here you are.” Director Lu hurriedly greeted him with a smile and reached out his hand.

Lin Kai reached out his hand as well, but he did not hold Director Lu’s hand. Instead, he raised his hand to take off his sunglasses.

Director Lu looked embarrassed.

“Director Lu, are your team ready? You know, Brother Kai is very busy. His work schedule was full even to the end of the year. If it weren’t for returning your favor, we wouldn’t have taken the job with such a small remuneration,” the man behind Brother Kai said with his little finger lifted.

“Yes, yes, yes… thank you so much!” Director Lu smiled embarrassedly. “Tang Rou has come early. My team will be ready right away and the filming will start soon. It won’t waste too much of your time.”

Lin Kai nodded arrogantly, turned to look at Tang Rou in the rest area, and walked to her with a charming smile on his face.

“Pooh, he is too arrogant.”

“If it weren’t for you, Director Lu, he would be playing a bit role now.”

“He is so ungrateful. He forgot that it was Director Lu who helped him a lot. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to become what he is today.”

The staff standing aside looked at Lin Kai angrily and cursed in a low voice with disdain.
