Dating the Strongest BossChapter 22

Wang Xing casually dropped the Kuman Thong onto the nightstand in her bedroom. Remembering that she had to give it some offerings, she turned towards the refrigerator and took out a piece of beef she had bought previously. She carelessly steamed it and placed it into a bowl when she was done. Afterwards, she put the bowl in front of Kuman Thong. 

Wang Xing glanced at Kuman Thong’s face, her chest tightening. She couldn’t help but frown, feeling a little disgusted. 3YdOHo

When she looked around the room that was so large, she was reminded of Li Haibo and Yang Meili. Suddenly, she thought of something and panicked. She directly picked up her phone from the bed and dialed Liang Jing. Meanwhile, she also swiftly changed her clothes, planning to go out and meet him. 

She had just reached the front door when she abruptly recalled something. Once again, Wang Xing rushed back to her bedroom and grabbed the Kuman Thong, stuffing it into her pocket.

Outside.

It was already very late, so there were almost no people walking on the streets. Several small shops were the only ones still open. The streetlights emitted a faint glow, but it was unlikely that they would be able to affect the surrounding darkness.  H8TXcG

Wang Xing was cautious with every step she took. Her eyes shifted left and right, fearing that she would encounter some sort of accident. 

She unconsciously walked alongside the outermost edge of the road. Although there were only a few deserted cars on it, she was quite frightened. 

There were no public buses during nighttime, and there weren’t even that many taxis. Luckily, the house Wang Xing rented was close to Liang Jing’s, and it didn’t really take a long time to walk between the two.

“D*mn, move aside for this Laozi! Walking so slowly, are you looking for death?!” 

Wang Xing was dumbfounded as a man violently shoved her. Perhaps because she was originally feeling weak in her heart, she directly tumbled onto the ground. The Kuman Thong in her pocket fell out, letting out a “dong” sound.

Wang Xing hurriedly picked up the Kuman Thong and stood up, shaking unsteadily.

The man was walking very rapidly, and he soon broke into a run. He seemed to be a little hooligan, as his hair was dyed gold and his clothes had a □□ appearance. iYpEDG

Wang Xing suddenly realized something. She felt around in her pocket, only to discover that her phone had already been stolen!

She trembled with anger, wanting to chase after the man. But before she could advance, the scene in front of her eyes completely stunned her. 

“Boom!” There was a loud noise!

A red unlicensed car actually collided with the man! Its speed was extremely fast! The man’s head caved in as it was smashed into a bloody pulp. Wang Xing hadn’t even reacted when the car backed up again and repeatedly crushed the man! Afterwards, the car swiftly fled the scene. In the end, Wang Xing didn’t even know whether the driver was male or female.  nE50i4

Although the lighting was poor in the area, Wang Xing could still vaguely see the blood flowing on the ground, as well as the man’s hands and feet. His mutilated flesh, which had been ground by the car’s tires, was visible. 

“AHHH!” A scream instantly erupted from somewhere nearby. The few people on this road had all seen what had happened. Wang Xing’s legs softened as she collapsed. Cold sweat poured from her.

“It really has an effect?” Liang Jing was somewhat surprised.

“En.” Wang Xing’s face was pale, and it seemed like she hadn’t recovered from the shock yet. C3pKi8

After listening to Wang Xing, Liang Jing was a bit excited. However, he quickly forced himself to calm down. “Let’s first call Yuan Zhong and Xiao Chen over here. If this is real, we won’t have to die!”

 

“That’s too great!” Yuan Zhong was thrilled. But after a while, he abruptly froze. He looked embarrassed as he worriedly asked, “How much did you buy this Kuman Thong for?”

Yuan Zhong’s family was extremely poor. Whenever possible, he would go and work in order to earn money. Usually, he lived frugally, unlike the other members of the club. They could rent a house close to the school, but Yuan Zhong actually lived in the school. Right now, it was too difficult for him to pull out a lot of money for some sort of toy like the Kuman Thong. On a normal occasion, he would never do that even if he was beaten to death.  QWyruL

Five thousand.” Wang Xing replied, revealing the price.

“What?” Yuan Zhong’s face immediately turned red. “So expensive?”

Wang Xing explained, “This can’t even be considered expensive! The good ones cost tens of thousands.”

“Not to mention, Kuman Thong doesn’t originate from China in the first place. If you’re a bit careless, you could purchase fake goods!” Wang Xing swallowed, feeling nauseous as her stomach churned.  3NTJnj

“But…” Yuan Zhong appeared like he wanted to respond.

Liang Jing couldn’t endure anymore. He interrupted the two, saying, “Look at how far the situation has progressed! You’re still thinking of money? Is money more important than your life?”

Yuan Zhong stopped talking, but his face was still a little stiff. 

“Alright, it’s good if it works. If nothing happens to you guys, I’ll be very happy.” Xiao Chen had been the background for a long time. At the right moment, he decided to join the conversation. But the tone of his voice was flat, and maybe even cold. On the other hand, Xiao Chen usually spoke like this, so everyone didn’t think it was strange. j2ydpP

Liang Jing couldn’t help but take a few peeks at Xiao Chen. He felt that the other would always change unpredictably. This feeling was too strong. Liang Jing had the sense that Xiao Chen knew everything, and was just playing with him like he was a mouse, nothing more than a toy. 

“Xiao Chen, how do you know so much?” Liang Jing couldn’t resist the temptation and brought forth this question. 

Instantly, everyone stared at Xiao Chen. 

They were all curious about the answer.  xcklJM

 

“Maybe because my boyfriend is very proficient in this aspect,” Xiao Chen casually replied. He sat on a chair, flexing his toes. When he said the word “boyfriend”, he smiled weirdly.  

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Boyfriend? You…” Liang Jing choked. He completely hadn’t imagined that Xiao Chen was gay!

Wang Xing and Yuan Zhong were also astonished, but Wang Xing recovered in little time. zrQKwi

Indeed, Xiao Chen’s appearance was too outstanding! As a girl, she felt ashamed whenever she was compared with him. 

So when she heard Xiao Chen admit he had a boyfriend, she was mildly surprised, but not too shocked.

Yuan Zhong grasped the main point and said, “Your boyfriend understands these kinds of things? You already know so much! Then, could you ask your boyfriend to help us?”

“That’s fine!” Xiao Chen immediately agreed. He smiled, his pair of lucky phoenix eyes narrowing. “Next time, I’ll bring you guys to get acquainted with my boyfriend.” FCxmRP

Xiao Chen’s expression seemed innocent, but for some reason, a chill emerged in Liang Jing’s heart when he faced the other. 

 

“Is this real or fake? Is this thing so useful?” Yuan Zhong’s eyes glowed, but he soon frowned again. “But I need a Kuman Thong, not a Thai Buddha amulet.”

The boy rolled his eyes. “What’s the difference? Let me tell you, a Kuman Thong is made with a stillborn baby! This Thai Buddha amulet is made with the bone ashes of an adult and corpse oil! Haven’t you already realized which one has more power? Moreover! I had to plead with several people to acquire this! It’s a total of only one thousand, which is much cheaper than the Kuman Thong!” fKdUNe

Yuan Zhong thought that the boy made sense, but he was still hesitant.

“I’ll say this, there is no other shop like this one! If you don’t buy this amulet, I can easily sell it at a higher price. If I didn’t take into account that you’re my brother, I wouldn’t be here,” the boy impatiently said.

Yuan Zhong nodded, patting the boy’s shoulder. “Okay! I’ll buy it!” Afterwards, he pulled the money out of his pocket, his expression pained.

Once the boy received the money, he was instantly happy in his heart. He beamed as he said, “That’s good! If you want anything in the future, you can contact me!” Then, he left without looking back! ZU3pFE

 

“Baby, let me tell you, I just met a fool today. Remember the Thai Buddha amulet I took from my uncle’s place last time? I sold it! It sold for a thousand!”

“Yes, yes! That one! Hai, what are you afraid of? In this modern age, you still believe in this? Don’t worry! No one will die! Even if someone dies, it isn’t possible that anything will happen to me.”

The boy energetically talked on the phone.  CL7 zb

 

The man held Xiao Chen in his embrace. A morbid, possessive desire flashed across his eyes. But he quickly suppressed himself and returned to calmness.

“Kiss me.” Xiao Chen was never shy about these things.

The man’s expression changed again. He bit Xiao Chen’s left ear, the veins on his forehead bulging as he tried to restrain his emotions.  OYyvWV

Eyebrows, nose, lips, jaw, Adam’s apple, collarbone…Every part was exceedingly delicious to him.

The man’s eyesight was very good. Even in the middle of the night, he could see everything around him without using a light source. 

Just like.

At this time, Xiao Chen wore a slightly □□ expression. Dv7Maz

The man caressed Xiao Chen’s face and grinned.

This was his only treasure! His only reverse scale


T/N: A lot of you guys want me to reveal the novel I mentioned in the previous chapter. It’s called “After I Died, the Scum Gong’s Grief was Too Much for Him to Live”, and it has a 3.4 rating and 2 hate reviews on NU. The thing is, the website this novel is posted on is the Chinese, BL version of Wattpad. That should already say a lot. Expect extreme abuse when a novel is tagged with abuse, and expect a full-blown, mindless yandere when it’s written in the summary.
Now, is anyone curious about what the translator has been up to these days? It all started a week or so ago, when I was browsing NU as usual. Suddenly, I stumbled across a recommendation list titled “OP/Awesome Protags”.
Translator: Ah sh*t, here we go agin.
But as I scrolled through this list, a wave nostalgia hit me in the face. Star Rank Hunter, God of Crime, The Lazy King, Trafford’s Trading Club, No Hero…
Translator: Hold up. How long has it been since I read my first novel translation? Moreover, which novel was it???
For some reason, I couldn’t erase these questions from my mind. So, I decided to embark on a journey to the past. It turns out that I’ve been on NU for at least 4 years, and quite possibly 5 years. But perhaps my most intriguing discovery was my first BL novel.
It was Eclipse Hunter. Yes, you read it correctly. I sincerely paired the two brothers together, especially since the older brother was so overprotective. That might have been my first exposure to the world of yanderes. It didn’t help that one of my next novels was City of Endless Rain…I was obsessed with that novel for a long time.
Congratulations if you made it down here. While I was sorting through my laptop, I managed to find some of my old BL manhua translations. So, I want to ask you guys if there’s any website for BL manhua like CG is for novels?

Thai Buddha amulet: more details

A Thai Buddha amulet is a blessed item which can be obtained by donating money or offering oil to a temple. They are considered a tool to help improve luck. Almost every Thai Buddhist has at least one amulet. Amulets are made using an image of the Buddha, a famous monk, or even the monk who made the amulet. Amulets vary in size, shape, and materials. They may include ash from incense or old temple structures, or hair from a famous monk to add protective power to the amulets.

Reverse scale: the story

In Chinese culture, dragons have one scale growing in the opposite direction of all the others at their throat. They dislike anyone touching this reverse scale. If anyone does so, the dragon will be enraged and kill the person immediately. The reverse scale was first mentioned in Han Fei’s Han Fei Zi. The story has been translated in Brett Hinsch’s Passions of the Cut Sleeve: The Male Homosexual Tradition in China, detailing the relationship between Mizi Xia and Duke Ling of Wey.

  1. Eclipse Hunter… It was one of my first chinese novel, before that I only read Japanese and Korean ones (I thought chinese novels were too long before!). I started reading BL last year so I never thought of pairing protags of novels I already read but now that you say it… I think that Charles x Ah Ye from No Hero (Eclipse Hunter prequel❤) would be… ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

    Thanks for the chapter~

    • Yeah, I understand how the translator feels. Their other novels are also poorly rated, so it was probably a combined effect. If you take a look at real abuse wen, you won’t find a rating higher than 4.0. That’s one reason why there are so many quick transmigration novels out there.

  2. Oh shit, “City of Endless Rain”.

    That novel have me anxiety lol and I’m not saying that lightly. I rarely get anxious about anything, but damn, that novel made me feel so helpless 😣

    The yandere in the novel is someone I would stay far, far away from because he truly is crazy 😣

    Thanks for the chapter! 😘

  3. Thanks for the chapter~

    Oh I loved City of Endless Rain, it was the right suspense/mystery short novel that I read & it was quite heart-wrenching tragedy too.. now time to search the novels title that ive never encountered 😆

  4. Now that there are still more Thai superstition happening in this novel, I just want to recommend.

    If anyone like horror, go check out Thai Horror Movies!

    Thai entertainment are VERY good at making horror movie

    Then you can share my fear of Thai horror stuff….

    😂😂

      • My all-time favorite would be “Ladda Land” and “Pee Mak” (this is actually very funny&touching).

        Some other good one: Shutter, Inhuman kiss (traditional thai ghost), Ghost game, Siam square, Coming soon.

        I think some of them are on Netflix, while other.. hmm… i don’t want to name any pirate site, but it’s out there!

  5. Me: reading your T/N: Star Rank Hunter, God of Crime, The Lazy King, Trafford’s Trading Club, No Hero (all novels I haven’t heard of before)

    ⊙△⊙ I have so much to learn, senpai show me the way!

    Thanks for the chapter!!!

  6. This confused me soo.. I decided to ask if the arc 1 and arc 2 are completly different word apart!? Right

    • Yes, they’re two different worlds. Xiao Chen was in high school in arc 1, but now he’s in university.

  7. I always used to use mangago for my BL manga needs lol

  8. MC is so sinister in this arc, lol. Dang the scum gong one is in my reading list but the translator closed their dreamwidth…

    CG has manhua too so you could add to it? Scanlations are usually hosted on manga reader sites like mangadex (which then gets ripped by bots and posted to places like batoto or mangago lol) or on the scanlator’s actual site (usually a wordpress/tumblr) or their read-only google drive.

    The only BL-only site I know is myreadingmanga but that’s also an aggregator like mangago lol…

  9. Thanks for the chapter <3 I love your translations, especially the details on certain customs. They are very interesting to read so I really appreciate you for that

  10. @Crepescule I’ve read that novel like ages ago! But I didn’t remeber the novel title, curiously eniugh. Only the gorgeour artwork. Only after I went to NU and searched for it did I finally remember! I seriously never thought it had a BL atmosphere, though. I thought the older brother was seriously overprotective a was a major brocon but not in bl sense! You know, it makes eo much sense now because throughout the whole novel I felt that sth was missing from the whole book to take it to the next level of major awesomeness!!!

  11. I know I’m a bit late… but you could put your manhua up on mangadex. Lots of groups use it as their primary hosting site

  12. All this time, I did not realize that such a lot of novels exist until I discovered DGC manga in mangagogo. Then I found out there’s DGC novel ver and that’s my first– VERY first novel bl . My second’s LMW. After that, other novels from wattpad

    Dammit I hate wattpad at the same time I love it. There’re lot of goodies but the authors will just discontinued or disappeared. So sad

  13. Speaking of Kuman thong, me and my family was visiting our uncle and they also have one and we bought cake and snack for him. The next day when we got back home my big sister had a dream about the Kuman thong asking for more snack that we got for him the other day 😂😂

  14. My first BL novel was ‘The reader and the protagonist definitely have to be in true love’ and that set the bar verrrrry high for any following novels lmao. Chinese novels are always super censored too, and this one was Japanese (I think?) translated so it had the spicy~ moments in full view if you wanted to read them. The MC was also disabled (deaf and basically blind) so that also kicked me off with a non conforming MC which was AWESOME. The plot was great, action was great, all around I totally recommend it!

  15. My first Chinese BL novel set the bar too high for me, it was FOD/Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil 🥺 the next was Grandmaster’s wife ( I asked my sibling to reccomend an ancient Chinese novel that would help me understand how wuxian novels work)

    I still reread those two works, I’m a big fan or possessive MLs but this is the first time I will be reading Gore BL. So yes let’s get this sht going

  16. Wang Xing got me stupefied already, i only read the very first part and yeh shes damn stupid af… no wonder..? “she turned towards the refrigerator and took out a piece of beef she had bought previously”

    ..

    ..

    ..

    She gave a damn beef for an offering when Xiao chen just told her a while a go not to give offering (raw meet) face slap

  17. Damn the contrast tho, after that nerve wrecking thing about death suddenly “kiss me” and they being all lovey dovey, gosh give me a proper dog food will you?

  18. I’ve read the reviews and tags about City of Endless Rain and i only have one suggestion : this sh!t should be on ao3 coz dang that novel is literally a dead dove : do not eat ☠️
