My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 299: Losing More by Trying to Gain an Advantage

That entire night, Zhong Yan was trapped in a dream.

But this dream feels so real...

The next morning, he finally stirred from his groggy slumber. He felt itchy all over and vaguely uncomfortable, but he didn't pay it much mind. In fact, he felt a little pleased. Shaking his head, he decided not to overthink it and instead turned to look at the woman lying beside him.

"Ah—!"

Suddenly, a high-decibel, terrifying scream ripped through the air, piercing the roof and soaring straight through the clouds. Countless people heard it and came out of their rooms to see what the commotion was about.

Zhong Yan clutched his head, feeling like he was going insane. How could this be? Why is the woman next to me the one with gonorrhea I hired last night?

His shriek startled the woman awake. She screamed too, never having expected to find Zhong Yan lying beside her.

Madness! They had both lost their minds.

"You slut! What did you do to me last night!" Zhong Yan slapped the woman across the face, overwhelmed with agony.

He didn't even need to ask. He already knew what had happened. This is a disaster. I'm definitely going to be infected.

"Young Master Zhong, how could you hit me?" the woman said tearfully. "You were the one who told me to come to this room. How can you deny it now?"

"Yang Qi! That damn Yang Qi! It must have been that Yang Qi who set me up! It had to be him! I'm going to kill him! I'll kill him!" Zhong Yan roared, completely unhinged.

He stormed out of the room, only to find the corridor crowded with people, all of them whispering and pointing at him.

Zhong Yan decided to go to the hospital for a check-up. That woman had a disease—a contagious one. He had intended to deal with Yang Qi, but instead, he was the one who got played.

Just then, the woman came out as well, and a look of sudden understanding dawned on the faces of the onlookers.

"Well, well, Young Master Zhong," Yang Qi taunted.

"Yes, Young Master Zhong, what happened to you? If you're feeling unwell, you should go to the hospital for a check-up!" After hearing Yang Qi's account, Zhao Yuman now loathed Zhong Yan. Where she had merely disliked him before, it was now outright hatred. She wished he would just drop dead.

"Oh my, why are you wearing a woman's dress? My god, I heard this woman has a disease, you know, *that* kind of disease. She's even got cauliflower growths. You didn't sleep with her, did you?" Yang Qi exclaimed with dramatic flair.

This was truly kicking a man while he was down. Every word from Yang Qi was like an arrow piercing Zhong Yan's heart. He felt like he was about to cough up blood. Seeing Zhao Yuman's mocking gaze, he knew she was in on it, too. He was on the verge of losing his mind.

"Yang Qi, you just wait!" Zhong Yan fled, weeping with humiliation.

This isn't the time to pick a fight. I have to get to a hospital first. I can't rest until I get a check-up.

"Hmph, serves him right!" Zhao Yuman was thrilled to see Zhong Yan's despair. A scumbag like that would be better off dead. How dare he try to drug me.

Zhong Yan returned to his room and took a shower, scrubbing himself thoroughly with soap as if he could wash away the germs. He changed into a clean set of clothes and headed straight for the hospital.

The moment the test results came back, he almost went mad. He had actually been infected. Fortunately, it was discovered early and was treatable. However, the cure required over a year of continuous treatment. During this time, he couldn't sleep with any women, or his condition would worsen. Hearing this, he was so angry he could have spat blood.

He returned to the villa and immediately reviewed the surveillance footage from the previous night. He found it. It was Yang Qi who had carried him into that room.

I'm going to kill you! I must kill you!

He immediately deleted the footage. It was too humiliating. If word of this got out, his reputation would be ruined forever.

The security guards, oblivious to what had truly happened, assumed Zhong Yan had succeeded. One of them grinned and asked, "Young Master Zhong, how was the woman?"

"Get lost!" Enraged, Zhong Yan kicked the guard square in the mouth. Are they trying to mock me?

The guards were utterly baffled, having no idea why Zhong Yan was acting so insane.

Zhong Yan left the surveillance room and immediately rallied the security team to go after Yang Qi. I have to get revenge for this. If I don't, I don't deserve the name Zhong Yan.

An intimidating group of men arrived at Yang Qi's door. Zhong Yan stared coldly at him and snarled, "You bastard, you dared to set me up. I'll make sure you don't leave Yunlong Villa today. Get him! This punk snuck into a guest's room last night and defiled her. Beat him severely, then send him to the Heavenly Supervision Hall!"

"I have a video here. Want to see it?" Yang Qi said with a smile. "Oh dear, how did I accidentally upload this to a short-video app? Everyone, take a look! Don't worry, I pixelated it, so it shouldn't get taken down."

The crowd pulled out their phones and searched for Yang Qi's account. Although the video was pixelated and silent, they could still get the gist of what had happened.

When Zhong Yan saw the video, he really did spit blood from pure fury. He never imagined Yang Qi would secretly record him, much less that he would have the guts to upload it. The man is a lunatic!

"You're courting death! If I don't beat you to a pulp today, I'll crawl out of here on my hands and knees!" Zhong Yan roared.

"I advise you not to touch Mr. Yang," Zhao Yuman said calmly. "Mr. Yang is someone you cannot afford to provoke." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Mr. Yang? What a load of crap!

"Get him!"

Zhong Yan wasn't one to follow the news, especially not news from the martial artist community. He paid even less attention to it. So, whether it was Yang Qi defeating Cao Xingjian in the tournament or bloodlessly taking down the Fan, Song, and Qi Families, he was completely in the dark. He just thought the name Yang Qi sounded vaguely familiar.

The next moment, the security guards rushed toward Yang Qi.

Yang Qi simply smiled and flicked his wrist. A flash of cold light shot out. All of the guards cried out as their legs were pierced through, and they collapsed to the ground, wailing in agony.

The key was that it all happened in a blur; no one saw what had happened. The Magic Artifact moved too fast.

After dealing with them, Yang Qi walked toward Zhong Yan. He grabbed Zhong Yan by the hair and yanked him up. "Listen, you little punk, I was just too lazy to play your games. Did you really think I was afraid of you? Trying to drug me? Do you realize that was you signing your own Death Sentence? I won't kill you today, but I have to teach you a lesson. I'll make you understand that there are people in this world you can't afford to offend. People you must never provoke!"

With that, he seized Zhong Yan's arms.

CRACK!

They broke. Both of Zhong Yan's arms had been snapped.

Zhong Yan let out an earsplitting, pitiful scream, but Yang Qi's expression remained utterly indifferent.

Ever since eradicating the Li Family and the Kangshan Sect, he felt he had undergone a baptism of blood. With it, he had grown colder.
