Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 199 Her Sincerity
Jiang Biehe watched the little fish fly away, eagerly anticipating that Cha Nan would kick it to death.

In this way, Yan Nantian will have at least one more main target for revenge in the future, which will greatly reduce his pressure.

If this mysterious Young Master Cha can get rid of Yan Nantian... that would be even better.

However, even though Cha Nan attacked in anger, and even though Xiao Yu'er's martial arts level was not high, he had been soaked in medicine by Chang Baicao since childhood, which forged his body into a tough and resilient one. In short, he was very durable. Cha Nan's kick only seriously injured him, but did not kill him.

Jiang Yufeng let out a mournful cry and ran quickly towards Xiaoyuer. While stuffing medicine into Xiaoyuer's mouth, she tried to help him sit up and circulate his internal energy to heal his injuries.

Cha Nan didn't look at Xiao Yu'er, but continued to stare at Jiang Biehe.

"Hand over your other daughter, or I'll kill you right now!" Cha Nan didn't want to waste any more words; he had already said enough nonsense today.

He doesn't dislike talking to smart people because it saves him a lot of effort.

I don't dislike talking to stupid people, because it saves me the trouble of scheming.

But he hates communicating with people who think they're very smart because they have too many ulterior motives, yet they handle them very crudely, which is very off-putting.

Unfortunately, Xiaoyuer and Jiang Biehe, who were present, could both be considered this type of person.

Jiang Yufeng and Cha Nan are planned to be taken to the Beast Island to be trained as mid-level managers, but they are not considered important.

As for Jiang Yuyan, Cha Nan planned to give her a Palu Ball to restrain her ambition and the confidence that grew with her strength. After all, judging from the original trajectory, although Jiang Yuyan was unlikely to become a Grandmaster, as long as she had the right martial arts and training channels, it would not be a problem for her to become a relatively powerful Grandmaster.

That's already very good.

Even though Cha Nan has cultivated more and more high-level magical beasts, and even the first truly divine magical beast is in the process of hatching, theoretically there will no longer be such a lack of master-level combat power, in reality, magical beasts have their uses, and humanoid Palu has its uses.

They each have their own strengths and should not be confused.

Jiang Biehe met Cha Nan's murderous gaze and immediately ordered the steward to invite Jiang Yuyan over.

Jiang Yuyan did not actually live in the Jiang Mansion, but in a small courtyard connected to it. This was only after Liu Xi's death, when Jiang Biehe stood up for himself.

In order to gain access to Liu Xi's patronage, Jiang Biehe married Liu Xi's goddaughter and became Liu Xi's godson-in-law. Although he gained power and status through this marriage, he harbored resentment towards his wife and daughter, Jiang Yufeng.

As for Jiang Yuyan, she was his illegitimate daughter and was not favored by the matriarch of the Jiang family.

Jiang Yuyan was soon invited over as well. Cha Nan looked up and saw that the girl was dressed in a pale yellow dress, which was relatively simple. She had bangs and her big eyes were full of innocence and naivety. With her pure and invincible face, she looked like a little lamb that could be bullied at will.

But this is only superficial; this woman looks a lot like her father.

It is a typical Zhongshan wolf.

Hua Wuque saved her, but did not treat her any differently. However, she harassed Hua Wuque and successively caused the deaths of his two masters, Tie Xinlan, and almost all of his relatives and friends.

Whether it's a rebellion against fate or a growing ambition following the expansion of power, a woman like this should never be left unattended if you want to keep her by your side.

Some people may have a biased view of Jiang Yuyan due to curiosity or a rebellious mentality.

But just to put it simply, Jiang Yuyan is actually a counterpart to Jiang Yulang. She is essentially a variant of Jiang Yulang in the world of Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque. Doesn't that remove a lot of the filter?

"From now on, you will follow me and be my maid!" Cha Nan said to Jiang Yuyan.

Jiang Yuyan did not refute, but looked at her father Jiang Biehe with her big, watery eyes.

Jiang Biehe met that gaze, and even with his cunning and shrewdness, he felt a slight pang of reluctance. He could only lower his head and say, "Yuyan! Your father is powerless and cannot protect you. Fortunately, you are with Young Master Cha. He is no ordinary man; he is a true dragon among men. If you two can one day become husband and wife... then your father will also..."

"Let me make this clear beforehand, I will never marry her!"

"She doesn't even have a place among the concubines. You think you can be my father-in-law? Don't even dream about it!" Cha Nan could have easily killed Jiang Biehe and ended it all, but because he disliked Xiaoyuer, he didn't see the need to rush in and finish him off... After all, he and Yang Guo were friends, and killing him would cause Yang Guo trouble. So keeping Jiang Biehe alive to continue tormenting Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque was a good continuation.

Of course, similarly, Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque also need a target they hate even more.

That way, they won't keep looking for trouble with him when they have nothing else to do.

The reason for not killing Xiaoyuer was to prevent Yang from overthinking things.

The reason for not leaving Hua Wuque is that they don't want Yaoyue and Lianxing to be heartbroken if they find out... Anyway, Hua Wuque won't live long if left unattended.

Moreover, strictly speaking, it was Xiaoyuer and Tie Xinlan who offended Cha Nan; Hua Wuque had nothing to do with it.

He was also kept in the dark.

Jiang Biehe's face was very ugly. Cha Nan ruthlessly ripped off the last piece of clothing covering his face, making him completely lose face in front of his two daughters and his enemy, Xiaoyuer.

"In that case, Young Master Cha... please!"

"My Jiang family is too small to serve such a great Buddha as you!" Jiang Biehe said with difficulty, seemingly trying to save face, but he dared not mention leaving his two daughters behind.

A person like him, who only cares about himself, how much so-called family affection does he have left?
The reason he was angry was probably because Cha Nan had shut him down, making it difficult for him to get anything out of Cha Nan.

Cha Nan gave Liang Xiao a knowing look, then stepped forward and took Jiang Yuyan's hand: "From now on, you'll follow me. If I learn swordsmanship, you'll be my sword slave; if I practice saber techniques, you'll be my saber servant; and if I take a liking to playing the zither, you'll be my zither bearer!"

In any case, having a beautiful woman following you around to serve you at all times when you're out in the world is a pretty cool thing to do.

"Yes!" Jiang Yuyan was indeed very clever. From Jiang Biehe's expression and words, she saw through his fear of disobeying, so she was not actually resistant to becoming Cha Nan's servant.

Although Cha Nan said that she wouldn't even be given the position of a concubine.

But she believes that everything depends on human efforts.

As long as you know how to use your influence... what is impossible?

Having grown up in a brothel, she knew very well that once a man had something on him, he would become obedient.

Cha Nan then looked up at Jiang Yufeng and said, "Come here! Come with me!"

Jiang Yufeng did not look up, but continued to use her internal energy to help Xiaoyuer heal.

"Come with me, I'll help you cure him!" Cha Nan was undoubtedly more patient with Jiang Yufeng.

After all, people tend to admire those who remain untainted by the mud.

Jiang Yufeng's father, mother, and sister were all bad people; she was the only one who was kind, upright, and pure-hearted.

Moreover, she was a disciple of the South Sea Divine Nun.

Cha Nan obtained the Boundless Ocean Divine Skill from the South Sea Divine Nun, which solved a problem related to his internal strength. Even if he didn't appreciate Jiang Yufeng, he wouldn't really make things difficult for her out of respect for the South Sea Divine Nun.

To put it bluntly, although he had ulterior motives in abducting Jiang Yufeng, he was also saving her life.

The family is full of wolves and tigers, but she's the only real little white rabbit. If she's not taken away, she'll be tricked and killed sooner or later.

"You're the one who injured him!" Jiang Yufeng looked up at Cha Nan with resentment, then continued, "I... I'd rather die than go with you!"

Cha Nan said, "Then ask Xiao Yu'er if he was wronged when I kicked him?"

Xiaoyuer seemed to be awakened by Cha Nan's kick and calmed down. He slowly opened his eyes and said, "I do owe you. This kick... I deserved it."

After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Yufeng again and slowly said, "Brother Cha! I know you're not a bad person. You're taking Miss Yufeng away for no personal gain..."

After calming down, Xiaoyuer's mind became clearer.

He understood perfectly well that if Cha Nan had been lustful at first sight, then Cha Nan would not have been able to escape the scheme he and Tie Xinlan had conspired against.

He even felt some regret, regretting that he had used some underhanded tactics that had lowered the bar for Cha Nan's behavior.

Otherwise, how could things have come to this?
Because he was certain that Cha Nan was not a 'bad person,' he did not pursue and question Chang Baicao and Yan Nantian about their whereabouts.

Just as Cha Nan had predicted, Xiao Yu'er is not lacking in cleverness.

"Yes! She's a good person!"

"Good people shouldn't have swords pointed at them!"

"Based on my understanding of you, you're already thinking about how to use her to get me to help save Hua Wuque." Cha Nan's three sentences effectively shut down Xiaoyuer's next plan.

Little Fish opened its mouth, and blood trickled from the corner of its mouth again.

His inner emotions were churning violently.

Because Cha Nan was right.

You can't expect someone who grew up in a place known for its villains to have a high moral standard.

He himself probably doesn't know how much of his previous interference in Guan Jiangyufeng's affairs was out of genuine concern, how much was out of meddling, and how much was to take the opportunity to reconnect with Cha Nan.

"I was the one who plotted against you, so you don't need to keep bothering Little Fish!"

"Whatever you want, come at me!" Tie Xinlan's voice suddenly came from the other side of the wall, and a graceful and beautiful figure flew over.

It must be said that, regardless of her character, Tie Xinlan's appearance and temperament are indeed top-notch, far surpassing Murong Xian and Jiang Yufeng, and even better than Jiang Yuyan.

Although Yaoyue is beautiful, she lacks a certain femininity... or rather, a certain humanity. Before she matured, she was not as good as Yaoyue.

Cha Nan looked at the menacing Tie Xinlan and suddenly smiled wickedly: "Fine! I'll come after you!"

"You're bothering me simply because you think I can save Hua Wuque!"

"Indeed, I admit, I have ways to save him...and more than one."

"But now my demands have changed. I don't want any martial arts manuals, I just want you!"

Cha Nan pointed her finger at Tie Xinlan.

Since she had set a trap by threatening to ruin his reputation in order to get him involved, Cha Nan has now granted her wish.

That's right... he was exactly the kind of person she thought he was: a womanizer who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

Once a person understands this, many things will no longer be confusing.

As long as it's not forced.

Does it really matter what your purpose was in having a relationship with him?

Were all those female students who went shopping at Home Inn with him really there because of love? Or were they just after his good physique and strength?

Since both are acts of greed, what is the essential difference?

A forced relationship won't be sweet.

But whether it's sweet or not, let's tear it off first.

Tie Xinlan gritted her teeth and said, "Fine! You choose the place tonight, and I'll be there on time!"

"I just hope you...keep your word!"

She knew she couldn't escape this situation.

But she had no regrets in saving Hua Wuque.

After saving Hua Wuque, she will voluntarily disappear from his world.

"Tie Xinlan...! Tomboy...you!" Xiaoyuer opened her mouth to stop her, but couldn't get the words out.

From the Valley of Villains in Kunlun Mountain to the Flower Palace in Xiuyu Valley, although they did not achieve their goal of curing Hua Wuque, they unexpectedly gained a lot.

For example, Xiaoyuer learned about his true relationship with Hua Wuque from a nanny in the Yihua Palace.

This was a backup plan left by Lianxing, in case something happened to her and someone could remind Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque that they were biological brothers.

He and Hua Wuque had a mutual respect and appreciation for each other, and now that they were brothers, how could he just watch his brother die?

"Fine! Tonight at midnight, five miles west of the city, no exceptions!" Cha Nan said with a sneer.

He did it on purpose!

They chose the wilderness, not an inn in the city.

For someone with a sense of shame, open public spaces are more unacceptable than enclosed private spaces.

Even if, in a sense, there is no essential difference.

"Cha Nan... don't push your luck!" Xiao Yu'er was so angry that he jumped up and down. If Tie Xinlan wasn't Hua Wuque's lover, and if he didn't also have Xiao Xiannu, how could he let go of Tie Xinlan?

Even now, the way he occasionally looks at Tie Xinlan is by no means innocent.

“If I were really going too far, I wouldn’t have chosen the location five miles outside the city, but rather next to Hua Wuque. How about it? Do you want to change it? That way, Hua Wuque might feel more involved!” Cha Nan said sarcastically, the last half of which was meant for Tie Xinlan.

He spoke that way intentionally.

If Tie Xinlan backs out, he won't regret it.

"No...no need to change!" Tie Xinlan bit her lip with her pearly white teeth, her bright red lips appearing even more vibrant with blood.

If it were the Cha Nan of the past, she would have softened upon seeing this scene and stopped pressing the issue.

However, now... all we can say is that every sip and every bite was preordained, and they deserved it all.

Strip away the filters, and you'll see that in the world of martial arts, regardless of good or evil, most people bully the weak and fear the strong.

That is precisely why the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and Guo Jing are so rare.

"Let's go! Remember! I'll only wait for you for the time it takes to burn an incense stick." After saying that, Cha Nan grabbed the two sisters, Jiang Yuyan and Jiang Yufeng, and took off into the air. Suddenly, a cloud deer appeared under her, and she disappeared from everyone's sight with a leap.

Jiang Biehe looked at Xiaoyuer and Tie Xinlan who remained in place, and his cunning thoughts began to stir in his heart, but after hesitating again and again, he still did not dare to make a move.

So obvious!

Cha Nan had just made a promise with Tie Xinlan, and then this happened right away. He couldn't explain it.

He took Jiang Yuyan into the Paluki and temporarily settled Jiang Yufeng, threatening her that if she disobeyed, he would cause trouble for Jiang Biehe.

Instead of rushing to Wulipo outside the city, Cha Nan returned to the Mythical Beast World and took another look at the huge, rough Palu egg that was hatching.

They then took the batch of newly converted Paru ore fragments to the top of the snow mountain and built a castle before returning.

As night fell, a small but effective isolation zone had been drawn around several large trees on a barren slope five miles outside the city using light blue gauze.

In the middle of the isolation zone, there was a bed.

Layer upon layer of white gauze curtains stretched out, and in the hazy moonlight, only indistinct figures could be seen.

Cha Nan arrived just in time. When she rode the Cloud Deer down from mid-air, she saw Xiao Yu'er waiting outside the woods.

Although he was at least two or three hundred steps away from the isolation zone, in such an open and windy place, even someone with outstanding internal strength wouldn't be able to hear anything, this behavior was no different from guarding the gate.

“I have a magical beast protecting me, I don’t need you to guard this place!” Cha Nan was not so abnormal after all, and said this when he saw Xiao Yu’er.

Little Fish looked up, his eyes bloodshot.

He suddenly knelt down and kowtowed heavily, saying, "I was really wrong!"

"Could you...!"

"No! We are both adults and should bear the consequences of our choices."

"Since you schemed against me back then, you deserve what you have today."

“Similarly, even if you resent me for what I did today and plan to seek revenge later, I will simply find an excuse to kill you all,” Cha Nan said.

Xiaoyuer fell silent. He gave Cha Nan another deep look, then walked forward without saying a word... He then started running wildly until he had run two miles before stopping and standing silently in place, as if rooted to the spot, yet bewildered and helpless.

Cha Nan released the Sea Dragon, Keglis, and the Thorn Fairy to guard outside. With them there, it was impossible for anyone to approach silently.

Then Cha Nan lifted the gauze curtain and saw Tie Xinlan, dressed in a light blue dress, lying on the bed pretending to be asleep.

"I don't like corpses. If you're going to keep deceiving yourself like this, then either I'll turn around and leave as if nothing ever happened, or I'll give you some aphrodisiacs so we can start off happily and end on a happier note!" Cha Nan's words were icy cold, like a knife that directly pierced through Tie Xinlan's last shred of dignity and defense.

She opened her angry eyes, tears welling up in them.

"Don't cry! I'll leave even if you cry!" Cha Nan said impatiently.

Tie Xinlan immediately stopped crying, but still looked stubbornly at Cha Nan.

People like you are always so self-righteous!

"You're willing to spend the night with me in exchange for Hua Wuque's life, but have you asked him if he'd rather die or accept your actions?" Cha Nan finally advised Tie Xinlan.

Tie Xinlan seemed to have made up her mind after being talked to, and reached out to pull off her clothes, just like a fresh fruit peeling off its own skin.

The moonlight shone down, illuminating her and coating her with a thin, soft glow.

She was indeed extremely beautiful, without a single flaw.

Cha Nan was so engrossed in watching that she didn't say anything more.

If he's still whining at a point like this, he's not a real man.

The wind blew the clouds and mist, obscuring the moon. The moon appeared and disappeared in the clouds, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

The chirping of insects at night is usually sparse, but perhaps because the wind is too strong and disturbs their rest, they simply abandon their sleep and start making noise, gradually letting loose.

However, the hunters of the night are clearly cunning. When they hear the insects' clamor, they initially remain still, but when they become complacent, they launch a fierce attack, sweeping through the forest like a raging fire.

Then the insects let out their final, mournful cries, and then fell into a deathly silence.

The wind continued to howl, and not long after, the insects resumed their reckless chirping, only this time their voices were much softer and lower.

As the morning sun bathed the mountains and forests, the mist in the forests was shrouded in a golden halo. A girl wearing only a gauze dress, with her bare, porcelain-white and beautiful feet, stepped on the soft yet firm grass, her steps still unsteady.

"Gone?" The man's voice sounded from behind the girl.

The girl was startled, but dared not turn around.

She looks delicate, but she actually practices "Crazy 108 Strikes," a fairly powerful external martial art. Therefore, she has excellent physical fitness and is more resilient than many men. However, her experience last night still fills her with fear.

It's incredible that someone can actually win consecutive battles and fight all night long.

This gave her, who was new to the battlefield, a great shock.

"Hmm!" Tie Xinlan nodded slightly, unsure how to face Cha Nan.

Before last night, she felt only hatred for him, and a little regret for her previous actions.

But now... her feelings are complicated.

Although she was a woman of the martial arts world, she actually had a conservative side.

Cha Nan did not erase Hua Wuque's mark on her heart, but she also left her own imprint on it.

She didn't know how to face herself or her inner self, so all she wanted to do was run away as quickly as possible.

"I'm sorry!" Cha Nan suddenly said.

"Huh? At this time... don't you think it's too late to say this?" Tie Xinlan turned around angrily, knowing that she hated more than just Cha Nan's apology.

You didn't understand what I meant!

"I mean... I can't let you go!"

"So, I apologize in advance!" As soon as he finished speaking, Chanan's Paluk Ball flew over.

It was a small, low-level Palu ball, but it hit the target on the first try, with an initial success rate as high as 59%.

After putting away the Paluk, Chanan looked at the messy, slightly crimson-colored bed and let out a long sigh.

This time, he had no excuse left!
