Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 139 Beautiful Women You Must Stay Away From

"Don't go!" The woman, who had been lying on the bed pretending to be asleep, suddenly jumped up with agility.

She wasn't completely naked as Cha Nan had expected, but her attire was clearly carefully chosen. The moon-white undershirt didn't fit properly, causing it to constrict and revealing her breasts. Both her breasts peeked out from the gaps in the undershirt, the slight tightness making one's mouth dry. The only thing she wore on her lower body, the shorts, also revealed a pair of straight, white, and slightly plump legs. In the flickering candlelight, they were dazzlingly white, raising the brightness of the entire room by a notch.

And if you look closely when she leaps, you can see obvious toe marks in the blink of an eye.

This was a woman with almost no flaws, and even with Cha Nan's extensive experience, she couldn't help but be momentarily stunned.

"My lord, how cruel you are! On such a cold night, you can leave me all alone. Seeing that my clothes are thin, you don't even come forward to put a coat on me!" The woman's eyes were innocent as she spoke these words, like an innocent girl whose heart had been broken by her lover.

Cha Nan took another step back, because he had tested it with a high-quality Parul ball, and without injuring or crippling the target, the success rate was less than one percent. This meant that the woman in front of him, though seemingly delicate, actually possessed at least innate-level strength, far surpassing him.

Even disregarding the advantage of the magical beast, Cha Nan wouldn't last three moves against this woman.

Beautiful, capable, and shameless... Who is this woman?
Name after name flashed rapidly through Cha Nan's mind.

Lin Xian'er is shameless and dissolute, but she clearly doesn't have the strength to back it up. While women like Gongsun Da Niang, Murong Qiu Di, and Yunmeng Fairy are strong enough, they shouldn't be that shameless.

Soon, a name came to mind for Cha Nan.

If it is this woman, then it's not hard to understand why she would appear here in this manner.

"What exactly do you want? We can talk this over!" Cha Nan didn't back down or call for help. Considering the woman's possible identity, Cha Nan wasn't in a hurry to leave.

Although this woman is troublesome, her troubles are actually not as troublesome as they seem.

"Can't you see it, my lord?"

"I want you!"

"Such a beautiful day, why should my lord waste it? Why not come forward quickly and seize it?" As she spoke, she did not force him to come forward, but instead retreated to the edge of the bed, gently raising one of her fair and delicate feet, shaking the silver anklet on her foot, and jingling the small bells that looked like flowers.

The bells rang out crisply, like repeated blows to one's heart.

Cha Nan took a deep breath and tried to recall Chu Renmei's appearance in her mind to create a mental counterforce and resist the temptation.

"You want my magical beast?"

“Sure! We can trade normally!” Cha Nan adopted a businesslike attitude, as if everyone was open to doing business.

Although he considered himself very handsome, no less so than Yang Guo, and there were some infatuated women in the ancient world, the woman in front of him should not be among them.

Upon hearing this, the woman's charming and wanton expression vanished. She turned around and pulled a thin blanket from the bed, draping it over herself, concealing most of the beautiful scenery, yet adding a touch of coy allure.

"Then I want your exploding birds, martial arts-training monkeys, and exceptionally fast deer." The woman's words directly targeted the three most powerful and popular magical beasts that Cha Nan currently possessed.

As for the Snow Fox and the Flame Witch Fox, since they have only appeared once and are not permanent residents of the martial arts world, their information has probably not yet been leaked.

"I can trade you both Ironfist Ape and Cloud Deer, but what price can you afford?" Cha Nan skipped over the question of why he wouldn't trade Bombardier and started talking about the trading price.

"Why won't the exploding bird buy me? Is it because it's afraid I can't afford the price?" The wealthy and generous woman was once again flaunting her wealth. A woman with such a magnanimous heart, and who is so shameless, could obviously not be poor.

"I don't want gold or silver, nor do I want Yuanqi Stones. I only want all kinds of elixirs, martial arts manuals, divine weapons, rare treasures of the martial world, and even incurable poisons and powerful, secret drugs... I want all of these. If you can produce one of them, I will trade you a magical beast. Of course, as for medicinal herbs, we can discuss the specific quantity of each portion and set a price accordingly!" Cha Nan was not going to follow the woman's lead.

He realized that this woman clearly intended to gain both his money and her body, which was why she lay in his bed, preparing to use her family's secret techniques to subdue him, make him her devoted servant, and make him work for her.

Cha Nan lacked absolute confidence in her willpower, so she didn't try to sway him with sweet words, and instead fired back at him. The most valuable thing about a person is self-awareness.

"That's quite fair!" The woman sat up straight, her legs crossed under the thin blanket, her toes slightly bent and landing on the ground, forming an alluring curve, like a hook that was still tempting people's hearts.

"Wait! Wait here for me for half an hour. We'll talk again after half an hour!" After saying that, Cha Nan left the room without caring about the woman's thoughts or attitude. At the same time, he summoned Monarch Melupa to crouch behind him, guarding against the woman's sudden sneak attack.

After the candlelight had burned for half an hour in Guo Fu's room, Cha Nan appeared at the door looking refreshed. Looking at the beautiful woman again, he felt that she was just average.

The woman looked at Cha Nan, whose eyes were clear and bright, like those of a sage monk, and curled her lips in boredom. Although she felt that her charm had been slighted and insulted, she did not get excited or go crazy. Instead, she straightened her clothes, put on her dress, and then looked at Cha Nan with a serious expression.

Looking at her now, she no longer possessed the alluring blend of innocence and desire she had exuded. Instead, she appeared as proper as a well-bred young lady from a prestigious family who had received a conservative education and had been well-versed in literature since childhood.

"Let me introduce myself, Shangguan Xiaoxian! You may not have heard of me, but you must know my father... Shangguan Jinhong!" Shangguan Xiaoxian said proudly, as if she really regarded her father, Shangguan Jinhong, as her pride and idol.

"It really is her!" Cha Nan thought to herself.

Shangguan Xiaoxian... the daughter of Shangguan Jin Hong and Lin Xian'er. No one knows when she was born, but anyway... they have a child.

Ah Fei's crown has become even heavier!

On her deathbed, Lin Xian'er asked Shangguan Xiaoxian to go find Afei.

But Ah Fei had been a wanderer all his life, so when he met Ye Kai in Jiangnan, he handed over this burden to Ye Kai.

Shangguan Xiaoxian was changed hands several times since childhood, which can be described as a life full of twists and turns.

However, she lacked her father's domineering nature and her mother's weakness, and could only be a parasitic vine. She inherited only the 'advantages', such as Shangguan Jin Hong's methods and martial arts talent, as well as her mother Lin Xian'er's beauty and her ability to use that beauty.

As an adult, Shangguan Xiaoxian not only aims to revive the Money Gang, but also aspires to become the leader of the Demonic Sect, hoping to achieve her ambition of dominating the martial arts world by controlling both the Demonic Sect and the Money Gang.

But why does Cha Nan think Shangguan Xiaoxian isn't too troublesome?

This woman has two advantages. First, she is not pretentious. Although she is ambitious, she doesn't have the narrow-minded and crazy idea that if you don't help me, you are harming me. Compared with her mother, Lin Xian'er, she has a much broader perspective.

Secondly, she doesn't have many real rivals or enemies, only Ye Kai. Moreover, because of their bond of raising each other, Ye Kai's attitude towards her is also contradictory and conflicted.

After she was ultimately defeated by Ye Kai, she decisively withdrew from the martial arts world and stopped causing trouble. She was swift, decisive, upright, and honest, which made her stronger than many men.

Of course, this doesn't mean she was a good woman; she was definitely not a good person.

She is cold-blooded and ruthless, and will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. She can use anyone or anything that is useful or worth using, including but not limited to her own body.

If we had to make an analogy, she would probably be a low-budget, youthful version of Wu Zetian. She has a mind and vision that are different from most women. She is also ruthless and cold-blooded, but she lacks the foundation for ultimate success and fails to escape the quagmire of grudges in the martial arts world.

"Cha Nan!" Cha Nan didn't even think about hiding her name; there was no point in doing so.

Since Shangguan Xiaoxian has acted this way, she must have investigated him quite thoroughly. Pretending at this point would only make her appear less imposing.

"I possess a Great Soul-Searching Hand technique, a unique skill of the Demonic Sect. I hope to exchange it for three Iron Fist Apes and two Cloud Sea Deer, and both male and female are required!" Shangguan Xiaoxian made an outrageous demand.

　My back hurts so much!
　　Tobey Maguire style: My back! My back!
