Ma Hongjun shivered, remembering last night's events. He… was actually interested in men. Oscar seemed to agree silently, and both quickly left the scene.
About fifteen minutes later, a rustling came from deep in the alley, as if someone was dressing.
A cough echoed, followed by the appearance of a young man who looked ordinary.....maybe even slightly foolish.
It was Tang Chuan, once known as the Great God King, now reincarnated. But he looked worse than before.
His clothes were messy, his back stiff with pain, and he seemed drained of hope. He tried to move but the burning pain in his back made it impossible.
"Who… who did this to me?" he shouted, hair standing on end in anger.
Tang Chuan had been so excited yesterday that he had fainted from exhaustion. Half asleep, he'd been attacked, and now he had no strength left.
"Ahhhhhhh!" he roared to the sky. He was the Divine King Tang, pure and innocent, yet reborn into such a miserable state.
He wanted to reach his plate crystal but realized it would be evening before he could. In a hurry, he stumbled, fell face-first onto the stone floor, and passed out, eyes rolling.
Some unknown time later, voices came from nearby.
"Boss, there's a disheveled kid here. He looks like he just came out of a brothel," someone said.
"Tsk, tsk, what a loser! He's getting himself into trouble," another replied.
Meanwhile, the Extreme Douluo puppet, hidden in the shadows of Tang San, whispered, "I feel like I can strike again."
Two and a half minutes later:
"Boss, I think this guy is quite handsome."
"Third brother, I feel the same."
"Feeling good-looking +1."
Time passed, and two years slipped quietly by.
At midnight, by a small river thirty miles from Soto City, Yuan Longxuan sat calmly, fishing.

Yuan Longxuan glanced at his favorability panel. All his hard work over the past two years had paid off—except for Qian Renxue, who remained stubborn.
He remembered how, during these two years, he and Bibi Dong had narrowly avoided being caught by her many times while engaging in mischievous acts. But now wasn't the time to think about that. Today, two cats—one large and one small—were on their way, and he intended to catch them both.
The Xingluo Imperial Family? A minor problem. A few Extreme Douluo puppets could keep the old emperor company without any trouble.
The moon shone brightly tonight, almost full, and Yuan Longxuan had lit a bonfire while waiting patiently for his destined companions.
Half an hour passed. He remained calm, showing no sign of impatience. Fifteen minutes later, hurried footsteps approached. Yuan Longxuan smiled knowingly.
"The big cat is about to take the bait," he murmured.
A cold female voice echoed from the forest: "My dear sister, you can't escape. I advise you to stop and die."
"Dream on!" came a crisp, childish reply, full of anger.
"Second Miss, just give up. You and that deserting Third Prince are no match for the Eldest Miss," another voice warned.
Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun were there.
Damn it! Zhu Zhuqing's heart ached. She had saved enough money to escape, only to be hunted again by her sister. She had been on the run for a day and night, her injuries slowing her down but not ending her.
Suddenly, a flash of fire caught her eye. How could anyone survive here? She didn't pause, her resolve firm as she ran the other way.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't want innocent people involved; her heart was kind. Yuan Longxuan noticed her from the firelight and realized she truly didn't want trouble. A kind girl like her was rare in the Douluo Continent.
Unfortunately, in the original world, her lover was entirely different—cold and cruel. Yuan Longxuan's mind raced, seeing the opportunity to act carefully and yet decisively.
He leaned back, still by his fire, watching the unfolding events, waiting for the right moment to intervene. He would not harm her, but he could ensure her escape—or perhaps, guide the outcome entirely in his favor.
The night stretched on, quiet except for the river's gentle flow, the crackling fire, and the faint sounds of pursuit.
Yuan Longxuan's plan, carefully laid over the past two years, was about to come into motion.
Two lives, two destinies, intersecting here in the dark, and only he held the key.
As he observed, a smile played across his face. Tonight, everything would change.
