Others Go Down the Mountain to Woo the Goddess, But I Treat Her Like an Ordinary Person Mr. CX 2898 words 2026-03-20 09:29:28

Xiang Qiang was not merely the president of Starsea Entertainment.
His family, the Xiang clan, was one of the city’s powerful aristocracies.
That was the source of his confidence—even the Commandant of Yang City had to show him respect.
Let alone a minor soldier from the War Division; what right did such a brat have to challenge him?

“So, what you mean is, if Starsea Entertainment vanished from the earth, you wouldn’t dare talk to me this way, would you?”
Chu Fei regarded Xiang Qiang with thoughtful eyes.
Xiang Qiang burst out laughing: “What did you say? You want to erase my Starsea Entertainment? Who do you think you are—Meng Ziyi from the Imperial Capital?”
“Exactly! Starsea Entertainment is worth over ten billion! Are you suggesting it could just disappear overnight?” Sister Lu jeered as well.
Lu Yunkun’s smile grew sinister as he turned to Zhou Mi: “Zhou Mi, I suggest you and your wild lover get your heads examined! This is pure madness!”

Besides these three, the gathered reporters and fans all laughed uproariously at Chu Fei’s words.
This guy was shamelessly boasting—such wild claims! Wasn’t he afraid he’d bite his own tongue?

Chu Fei ignored their mockery.
Instead, he made a phone call right before their eyes.
“Third Senior Sister, within ten minutes, I want Starsea Entertainment’s stock to hit the floor. Is that a problem?”
“Ten minutes? That’s plenty of time. Forget Starsea Entertainment, I could shrink the Xiang family’s entire assets by a third!”
On the other end, Meng Ziyi was clearly aware her junior sister had been bullied.
She’d been waiting for this call, so after Chu Fei finished speaking,
Meng Ziyi, in the tone of a domineering CEO, commanded her subordinates:
“The weather’s turning cold—let the Xiang family go bankrupt.”

What kind of magical plot was this—an overbearing female president falling for me?
It was simply…
Too wild!

Chu Fei had just finished his call.
Xiang Qiang laughed even louder.
He pointed at Chu Fei with amusement: “You act so convincingly. I’d like to see how you’ll crash my company’s stock in ten minutes!”
“Mr. Xiang, he’s just an idiot!”
Sister Lu sneered at Chu Fei: “If he can do it, I’ll eat shit live, how about that!”
“Count me in!” Lu Yunkun chimed in, unable to hold back his laughter.

But their laughter soon died.
Not ten minutes—within five, Xiang Qiang’s phone started ringing.
He paid it no mind, still wearing his smug expression as he answered.

“Mr. Xiang, something’s wrong! Major capital has entered the market, our company’s stock has already plummeted!”
“What did you say?!”
Xiang Qiang’s smile froze on his face; he was about to ask for details when
he saw his father calling as well. He quickly picked up.

“What the hell did you do, you fool? All our partners are pulling out at once, our family’s cash flow is broken!”
“Dad, is it for real?”
“If I’m lying, you’re my son! Find out who you’ve offended—if this keeps up, our bankruptcy is only a matter of time!”

After his father hung up,
Xiang Qiang was drenched in sweat.
As a capitalist, he understood the rules of the game better than anyone.

The opponent was hitting hard—clearly aiming to annihilate the Xiang family entirely.
Such results in less than ten minutes—
If things continued, he and his entire clan could lose everything, ruined beyond recovery!

“Why aren’t you laughing now? Is it because you never liked to laugh?”
Chu Fei tilted his head, his smile innocent and harmless.
But at this moment,
to Xiang Qiang, that smile was the face of a demon.

He dared not meet Chu Fei’s eyes, stammering in terror, “Who—who are you, really?”
Chu Fei’s smile twisted: “Making a call is so cool. Remember—I’m Chu Fei.”

Zhou Mi’s DNA stirred again, and she pressed on: “When the great roc rises with the wind, you’d best not provoke my junior brother!”
“Awesome, Teacher Zhou!”
“You’re not bad yourself!”
Xiang Qiang: “…”
Everyone else: “…”

Sister Lu hadn’t grasped the seriousness of the situation.
She stepped forward, asking, “What’s wrong, Mr. Xiang? Why aren’t you having them seize those two troublemakers?”
“I’ll seize your mother!”
Xiang Qiang slapped Sister Lu across the face.
Then, with a heavy thud,
he dropped to his knees!

The sight stunned everyone—even the weeping Sister Lu and the bewildered Lu Yunkun were frightened.

“Mr. Xiang, what’s happening?!”
The senior executives cried out in unison.
Xiang Qiang didn’t dare lift his head, wiping sweat from his brow.
“Nothing, just kneeling.”
Just kneeling…
And kneeling in Chu Fei’s direction?

A chill ran through the crowd—
Something was very wrong!

Suddenly, everyone looked at Chu Fei with awe and respect.
Could he really bankrupt the Xiang family—with just one phone call?

“Sir, I was wrong. Please forgive me, spare the Xiang family!”
This confirmed their suspicions.
Not only did Xiang Qiang kneel,
even Sister Lu and Lu Yunkun’s legs gave out as they knelt in terror.

“I rather liked your rebellious attitude just now,”
Chu Fei looked down at Xiang Qiang: “I heard you said my fourth senior sister tried to seduce you for resources?”
“No, no, that’s not true. It was just me and Lu Yunkun conspiring to smear Miss Zhou!” Xiang Qiang hurriedly confessed.

Chu Fei looked over to the trembling Lu Yunkun in the distance and continued his inquiry.
“You claimed my fourth senior sister dated you and deceived your feelings?”
“No, no…”

“And you said she led a chaotic private life, that she was promiscuous?”
“No, I wouldn’t dare…”

“Go on, keep talking.”
Chu Fei’s murderous intent was palpable: “I’m all ears.”

Lu Yunkun was utterly panicked, sweat streaming down his face, his breath coming in ragged gasps.

“Fourth Senior Sister, walk over.”
Chu Fei stepped aside: “Walk over with dignity and slap his face to pieces!”

Zhou Mi didn’t hesitate.
She’d wanted to hit Lu Yunkun for ages.
Under everyone’s gaze, Zhou Mi strode over to Lu Yunkun, her long legs flashing.
With a loud smack, she slapped him—
so hard his nose and jaw skewed sideways.

Afterwards, Zhou Mi pulled out a tissue and wiped her hands—having hit him, she still felt dirty!

“Let’s go, little junior brother.”
Zhou Mi smiled with delight at Chu Fei.

Chu Fei ignored Xiang Qiang and the others still kneeling.
He merely said to Fang Zhang: “One must keep one’s word. Remember to make them eat shit live.”

Fang Zhang replied in the affirmative,
smiling as he had one of the soldiers fetch a war dog.

Seeing the dog, Sister Lu and Lu Yunkun nearly wanted to die—clearly, they were going to be made to eat dog feces!

“Thanks to the Lord Dragon King, you get to eat the freshest dog excrement.”
Fang Zhang crouched, grinning wide: “Aren’t you going to say thank you?”

“Tha—”
“—nk you!”

The scene was eye-wateringly intense.

Chu Fei pulled Zhou Mi away.
A swarm of reporters rushed forward to interview them,
but Fang Zhang blocked their path.

He ordered his men: “Smash all their cameras. The Lord Dragon King’s identity must not be exposed; he still needs to keep a low profile!”

An hour later,
several trending topics shot into the top ten of the entertainment rankings.

#LuYunkunEatsExcrementToApologize
#TheMysteriousManProtectsHisWife
#AtDawnTheXiangFamilyFallsMysteriousManFightsForLove

These trends stayed at the top,
making Chu Fei an overnight sensation.

Yet, at that moment, Chu Fei—busy speeding home to romance Song Yalan—remained completely unaware!
