It would start with the protagonist becoming a big star, then conflicts would escalate, followed by gaining fame and gradually entering larger circles. After that, even more formidable enemies would appear.
Chen Fan vaguely remembered that he would also deal with a villain at some point. This part of the plot left a deep impression on Chen Fan, and it seemed like the author had added some interesting touches to his character.
The Chen family wasnât the strongest, but they were definitely the most resilient. Similarly, there were many families more powerful than the Chens, and just as many people who looked down on Chen Fan. This hierarchy of disdain was similar to how Chen Fan looked down on Xiao Feng.
However, that part came much later in the story, when true monsters and demons would emerge, and experts would be everywhere.
But this was also a common flaw in novels. At the beginning, fifth or sixth-tier experts seemed incredibly powerful. Yet later on, fifth and sixth-tier experts would be as common as street vendors. It was pretty ridiculous.
Chen Fan crossed his legs and turned on the TV. It was boring, so he might as well watch some television.
âWhy donât you watch my drama? Help boost my views, okay?â
âNo way. By the way, how do you handle intimate scenes when filming movies?â
âBody doubles, of course. Iâd never do those scenes myself. Sister Cao Zijing is the same; she doesnât do them either. We all have several body doubles on standby.â
âOh, I didnât expect you to be so protective of yourself. Thatâs a good mindset. Young girls really need to take care of themselves.â
âMhm.â Chen Fan couldnât help but feel disdain for pay-to-win gamers like her.
âWhat about your first kiss ... Oh, damn.â
Chen Fan suddenly realized something was off. Damn it, it felt like the sound of romance was ringing in his ears. Why did it suddenly feel like a romance novel?
Indeed, this woman was not simple.
âYeah, my first kiss was with you, hehe. You donât dislike it, do you, Brother?â
âItâs not that ... Wait, I like Lin Qingyue.â
Chen Fan was completely thrown off. Damn it, he had been led astray by this woman. But it was true. Every time this girl appeared and had her scenes, the tone of the novel became much lighter and more relaxed.
It was filled with a sense of happiness. In fact, Chen Fan felt that the parts of the story involving this girl were the most outstanding in the entire novel. They were simple, fun, and occasionally a bit cringy, but truly captivating.
Just as Chen Fan was pondering this, the door opened, and three people stood at the entrance.
Chen Fan frowned. Why were these three here to see him?
The three in front of him were Ling Yuyan, Miao Lingyin, and Miao Lingyu.
Judging by their demeanor, it was clear they were here to deal with him. But theoretically, this shouldnât be happening. From what he remembered, he was only supposed to meet one personâYe Aotian.
That man would struggle his way in, take the person away right in front of Chen Fan, and even punch him. That was the most logical outcome. But the main issue was, if these three were here, what happened to the people outside?
Actually, Chen Fan only knew the general plot. The subordinates he had arranged were all defeated, and Zhu Yeqing was just slacking off.
But the current situation felt a bit off. These three showing up clearly wasnât part of the script.
Liu Feifei quickly got into character and started shouting, âHelp!â
The three girls looked at her helplessly. At this point, there was no sign of a kidnapping. She was being treated to good food and drinks, happily playing on her phone.
Damn, this was like royal treatment. It was utterly ridiculous.
However, the three exchanged glances. They were actually here for Chen Fan.
Ling Yuyan began to feel a sense of dread. Damn, could it be that Chen Changsheng was really killed by this guy?
The scalpel in her hand was thrown directly at him. But when it hit Chen Fan, it made a metallic clashing sound.
Chen Fan picked one up and, with a crunch, bit it into pieces.
âNext time, bring something better.â
But it wasnât going to be that easy for the three of them to escape. By the time the three turned around, Chen Fan was already standing in front of them.
With a slap each, he directly knocked the three to the ground.
Chen Fan squatted down and said, âDonât move around, okay? If you move, I might just kill someone.â
Miao Lingyu covered her face, staring intently at Chen Fan.
âYou ... dare to hit my face.â
Slap, a direct slap landed.
âYou ... hit me ... you actually dare to hit me ...â
Another slap followed.
Miao Lingyu was completely dumbfounded and started crying outright.
Chen Fan looked at the white-clad Miao Lingyin beside him and said, âYour sister is crying; how about you give it a try too?â
âWe were just following orders, we didnât really intend to take your life.â
Chen Fan looked annoyed.
Did he ... kind of overplay his hand?
âIf you talk about todayâs events to anyone else, then donât blame me for being cruel, understand?â
Miao Lingyin said, âWe wonât tell.â
Chen Fan certainly didnât believe her.
The Heart Demon Incantation activated.
Miao Lingyu instantly became dazed.
âIf you speak of this, you should know what will happen to your sister.â
Miao Lingyin was completely stunned. Is this some kind of martial arts? Why does it feel like weâre not from the same world? Is our version not the same?
Miao Lingyin nodded vigorously.
Chen Fan glanced at Ling Yuyan beside him and said, âWhatâs going on with you? Was this your idea?â
âIt wasnât me, I didnât ... youâre talking nonsense, youâre lying, wuwuwuwu ...â Chen Fan slapped her.
Ling Yuyan immediately started crying.
âYou ... I confess, it was my idea. I just thought you knew martial arts, but I had no idea you were this strong.â
âDonât you dare speak of this, understand? I donât like getting involved in your matters with Ye Aotian or your own affairs, but my businessâno one is allowed to speak of it, got it?â
The three of them nodded earnestly.
They wouldnât say a word, not even if beaten to death. Nonsense, how could they?
Damn, even if they said it, the protagonist wouldnât believe it anyway.
But the current situation feels off. With so many people gathered together, what are they doing?
Playing cards? Mahjong?
