Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 176 An Assassination from Another World
Construction is a rather lengthy process.

Especially without the assistance of various modern large-scale machinery, the difficulty of building a huge and luxurious estate from scratch on an island, even with a lot of money, is unimaginable.

Fortunately, Cha Nan has various magical beasts to cooperate with, and he can use the space within the stronghold to take advantage of his territory and make rough control, which can save a lot of time.

For example, if a deep trench needs to be dug, it would normally take a construction team at least three days to dig it, but Cha Nan only needs to slap the ground with his hand, and the job is done.

For example, construction requires a large amount of stone, sand, and bricks to be fired in a brick kiln, all of which can be obtained from magical beasts.

Use your skills to help if you can, and if your skills aren't enough, just do the physical work, like carrying stones, sandbags, mixing mud, drying bricks... there's always something to do.

The magical beasts are all intelligent; as long as you give them instructions and explain them clearly, they won't make a mistake.

After all, many mythical beasts originally had job skills, but they are not so applicable in the martial arts world, but the basics are still there.

Before the main structure was completed and everything settled down, the entire beach, along with the original fishing village and the areas in front of and behind it, appeared noisy, chaotic, dark, and messy.

Even the once pristine white sand beaches and azure waters have become filthy and murky.

Chu Liuxiang was indeed a trustworthy person; for several months in a row, he had been helping Cha Nan recruit workers.

The recruited craftsmen were not only hardworking and diligent, but also had no ulterior motives, which saved Cha Nan a lot of trouble.

Spider, the future chief steward, picked things up quite quickly, soon graduating from Lian Ni Chang's apprenticeship and doing even better and more appropriately.

In truth, Lian Ni Chang's management skills weren't that great. She only had some management experience because she had been a bandit leader for a period of time, but that experience was hard to apply to managing craftsmen and construction sites.

On the contrary, the spider was originally a disciple of the Eastern Hegemon Blade. In name, she was a disciple, but in reality, she was a servant and a blood bag. If she hadn't been smart and clever, she would have been eaten long ago... eaten in a physical sense.

The Japanese swordsman kills and sucks blood, only consuming women with pure yin who haven't yet "awakened" to sexual desire.

The female disciples he raised were all of average martial arts skills, but they had to be clever and absolutely could not have any relations with any man. If they were found to have lost their virginity, he would kill them immediately.

Because of this selection mechanism, Spider Wugong, though quite ordinary, is indeed a very reliable manager. After overcoming the initial maladjustment and chaos, he managed all matters, big and small, in an orderly manner for Cha Nan.

At this time on the Island of Mythical Beasts, most of the hardest, most tiring, and most torturous tasks were done by the servants of Fusang, except for some that were assigned by the mythical beasts.

These Japanese servants were sent by Ishida Saien.

The one who reached an agreement with Ishida Saien on labor transfer was Spider.

Cha Nan originally planned to kill Ishida Saien to completely conceal Spider's identity.

However, Spider believed that Ishida Saien still had value and could be kept around to help run errands.

With the level 30 Overturning Sea Dragon protecting her, Cha Nan was not afraid of any Eastern Ying Overlord Blade coming to her door, so she agreed to the Spider's decision.

If the Japanese Overlord comes knocking, it's hard to say whether he'll capture his female disciple or if Cha Nan's Paluli will gain another high-ranking official...

Time passed quickly, and two months later, the gate opened once more.

On another beach on the island away from the construction site, Cha Nan was sunbathing and playing with Guo Fu, Guo Xiang, Cheng Ying and others.

The three women had all spent a long time on Peach Blossom Island and were all excellent swimmers. They would often jump into the sea and play nimbly like mermaids, emitting bursts of silvery laughter.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in the distance, Cha Nan picked up a leaf, gently poked a hole in the coconut with her finger, inserted a hollow bamboo tube into the hole, lay down on the bamboo recliner, and comfortably slurped it.

If there's anything I'm still dissatisfied with, it's that the three women in the sea are all wearing sharkskin swimsuits.

It's something similar to a wetsuit. Although it's form-fitting, it's actually quite bulky and doesn't have the same effect as a bodysuit at all.

On the contrary, it can easily confuse men and women, making it impossible to tell the gender.

If the water were replaced with a bikini... even a school swimsuit, Cha Nan would feel that life is just like this right now.

"Hey! Aren't you coming over to play with us?" Guo Fu waved to Cha Nan from afar.

If it were just her and Cha Nan here, she would have gone along with Cha Nan and gone swimming in only a close-fitting undershirt.

However, with her younger sister and Cheng Ying still around, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

"No need! You guys have fun!" Cha Nan certainly wouldn't say that watching beautiful women swim is actually much more interesting than swimming with them.

Just as Cha Nan finished replying to Guo Fu, she suddenly felt a tightness on her scalp!
He subconsciously lowered his head.

An arrow carrying strange phosphorus powder flew past Cha Nan's scalp, scattering the powder and igniting a few strands of his hair, but it was extinguished by Cha Nan's powerful internal energy.

"Who?"

"An assassin? That God of Wealth?" Cha Nan thought to himself, but he sent Liang Xiao out to keep watch while he himself took to the air and scanned the area.

Soon, from the direction from which the arrows had been shot, they saw a woman running and flying at high speed.

The woman, dressed in a blue and purple archery outfit, held a hunting bow and carried a quiver. Like a nimble wild deer, she ran and leaped across the mountains. Suddenly, she turned around and fired three more arrows at Cha Nan's position.

The three arrows caught fire midway through their flight, carrying intense heat as they hurtled towards Cha Nan, targeting three vital points.

Cha Nan raised his leg and kicked out. The frost was like an angry dragon, freezing and shattering all three arrows. Then, his figure cut through the sky and chased after the woman.

Seeing Cha Nan closing in, the woman drew her long knife and slashed fiercely.

Cha Nan struck her opponent's arm with a palm strike, the force of the Dragon Subduing Palm causing her to immediately drop the long sword from her hand.

"Your martial arts skills are not bad... but you're far from being able to deal with me!"

"If you came here to kill me intentionally, then I admire your courage."

“If someone ordered you to kill me, then that person definitely doesn’t take you seriously.” Cha Nan looked at the woman and had already guessed that she was related to the escaped God of Wealth.

Moreover, when Cha Nan saw this woman, he had already figured out who the runaway God of Wealth was.

The golden phosphorescent powder and the blue-clad female archer clearly indicate the location.

That person should be the Sixth Prince, the main villain in the Legend of Fire Cloud.

The Sixth Prince had two female assassins under his command, Yingxia and Yingxue.

Yingxia is highly talented and skilled in martial arts, making her the sharpest blade in the Sixth Prince's hands.

Although Yingxue was very beautiful and had a good sense of humor, she was not good at martial arts and could only be considered a plaything of the Sixth Prince.

Cha Nan found it rather strange. Even if the Sixth Prince had lost his island and his stronghold, and was resentful and wanted revenge, shouldn't he have sent Yingxia instead?
Have they already fallen out?

With no one to rely on, have they become stray dogs?
