Peerless Tang Sect: Snow Empress Adopts and Intercepts Jiang Nannan

Chapter 9 Dare to steal a woman from me, Xu Sanshi?

Jiang Nannan glanced at the imposing man in black standing not far behind Xu Sanshi and at Wang Er, whose hands were hanging limply.

"Young Master Xu."

You don't need to apologize.

"My deal with the Xuanming Sect can no longer be completed."

"I'm sorry to have taken up your time."

"Please find someone else who is more capable."

"Furthermore, I am willing to compensate for the injuries sustained by your subordinates."

"No, no, no need for compensation. That person wasn't one of my men. Besides, the wronged should have their own culprit, and the responsibility doesn't lie with you, Miss."

Xu Sanshi had a gentle smile on his face, but Jiang Nannan found it somewhat disgusting.

"I heard that your mother is seriously ill and urgently needs a Mysterious Water Pill to save her life."

No, that's not necessary.

"I have no further need to do business with the Xuanming Sect."

"If this is why you came, young master, please leave!"

Xu Sanshi misunderstood the meaning.

"No, Miss, you've misunderstood."

"Since you feel offended, then our deal is off."

As he spoke, he took out a pill from his storage soul tool.

"Consider this Mysterious Water Pill my gift for meeting you."

"Let's not beat around the bush."

"I had a good impression of the girl from the first moment I saw her."

"Yes, I hope to have him as my partner!"

"Believe me, my identity as the young master of the Xuanming Sect will allow you to live a better life."

"There's no need to live in this cramped place."

"Of course. This is just my hope. The girl may not know how good I am yet. We can start as friends and get to know each other better."

"Oh, I forgot to ask, may I ask your name, young lady?"

"."

Jiang Nannan's gaze turned cold.

After all that talk, is it still just that you're attracted to her looks? What do you mean you had a crush on her after just one meeting? You don't even know her name, yet you're already trying to seduce her?

This perfectly matches her perception of upper-class playboys.

"I already said, it's not necessary!"

"I don't need your Mystic Water Pill!"

"I'm happy living in this cramped place!"

"You are the young master of the Xuanming Sect!"

"You don't need to focus your attention on me!"

"Alright! You can go now!"

A look of astonishment flashed across Xu Sanshi's eyes.

"Wait! You're saying you don't need my Xuanming Pill anymore?"

"What happened? Does your mother not need saving her life?"

"No need."

Jiang Nannan picked up the basin, turned around, and left, slamming the door shut.

Xu Sanshi's expression gradually hardened.

The chance to save this girl's mother by giving up a Xuan Shui Pill and gain maximum favor has been lost.

How is that possible?

If this girl really had a way to save her mother, and wasn't desperate, why would she have been chosen by Wang Er in the first place?

He strode forward, glaring fiercely at Wang Er.

"What exactly happened?"

"Didn't you say her family was already destitute?"

"Now they've actually refused the Xuan Shui Pill I offered them for free!"

"This...Young Master, I don't know either."

"Young Master, are you very interested in that young lady?"

The man in black standing to the side suddenly spoke up and asked.

"Hmm? Uncle, yes, I'm very interested in her."

"Yes, indeed, such a stunningly beautiful girl is truly rare."

"Didn't we mention before that another young man and woman came by and even injured Wang Er? Judging from their behavior, those two seem to have considerable power. Perhaps the young man among them shares the same idea as you."

"Treasures comparable to the Profound Water Pill are nothing to a force like ours."

"Uncle, are you saying that someone stole my thunder and gave that girl some rare and precious herbs?"

Xu Sanshi's expression twisted.

"Hmph! Fine!"

"First they looked down on my Xuanming Sect!"

"You still dare to steal my woman?!"

"That's perfect! You'd better not let me find out who you are!"

"Otherwise! Hmph!"

"Wang Er!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Let's rent a room nearby!"

"I'm not leaving!"

"That person will definitely come back!"

"I'd like to see who it is!"

"Yes!"

Wang Er was inwardly groaning; he still had to go to the hospital!

A dark alley.

It is sparsely populated.

But it's the perfect place to have a private conversation.

"Sister Xue, why?"

Ye Xuanxin's eyes were full of doubt.

He didn't ask why he had to save Jiang's mother and why he had to put Jiang Nannan next to him.

Instead, they asked why Xue Di would take the initiative to do such a thing.

As far as he knew, Xue Di was kind-hearted but also indifferent and generally wouldn't meddle in other people's business.

Xue Di's behavior tonight was so unlike her.

Xue Di's face flushed slightly, and she glanced at Ye Xuanxin with some annoyance.

"It's all because of you."

"Because of me?"

"What does this have to do with me? I have no problem with doing a good deed to save Jiang's mother, but I never said I wanted Jiang Nannan to come to my side."

"Hmph! I originally intended to just save that seriously ill woman and be done with it, without making any demands. But thinking back to what you did a few days ago, I decided to put that human girl by your side."

"Huh? How is my kiss with Sister Xue connected to Jiang Nannan?"

Ye Xuanxin became increasingly confused.

"Aren't you humans the same as spirit beasts?"

"When you reach a certain age, you start thinking about having children."

"Wouldn't it be better to find you a companion so you can vent your impulses on her? At least she's still human."

Xue Di's face turned even redder.

His shame and anger intensified.

Ye Xuanxin suddenly realized.

Oh, so the Snow Empress mistook his actions from the past few days for a soul beast's courtship.

But that's not true at all.

He really likes this Sister Xue.

"Sister Xue, I think you've misunderstood."

"I truly love you!"

"My kiss with you was not purely driven by physical desire."

"It's because of my feelings for you!"

"Sister Xue, I want to be your partner!"

Ye Xuanxin's eyes flickered with affection as he stared intently at Xue Di's face, which was gradually turning crimson.

"."

Xue Di trembled.

Scenes from the past ten years or so flashed through my mind.

She raised Ye Xuanxin from a babbling toddler to the handsome young man he is today.

During this time, his intimacy and obedience gradually won over her heart.

The feelings I've had over the years don't seem to be what humans call love.

But starting the day before yesterday.

Everything has changed.

Ye Xuanxin, that little devil, actually made a human gesture of courtship towards her.

Xue Di wasn't stupid; she knew what that meant and wouldn't mistake it for a instinct similar to that of a soul beast seeking mates and reproducing.

She just wanted to find a shield to hide herself.

Although she didn't know why she was hiding, she was just feeling anxious and unwilling to face the problem.

But now that Ye Xuanxin has brought the issue to the forefront, she can no longer hide it.

"Xuanxin, so you want me to give you an answer?"

"No, asking you for an answer now would be using our feelings to pressure you, and you might make an irrational choice that you'll regret in the future."

"I'm just telling you how much I love you."

"As for how you plan to respond, I think you haven't decided yet?"

"I will wait for your reply."

"."

Xue Di paused for a moment, then her gaze softened.

"I can't give you an answer right now, but I will as soon as possible."

"So, Sister Xue, until then, can we still get along like before?"

"sure."

"Could Sister Xue lower her head a little?"

Xue Di's eyes lit up with suspicion; she didn't want to fall for this brat's tricks again.

"What do you want to do? I'm warning you, don't be so abrupt as last time."

"No, no."

Ye Xuanxin stood on tiptoe.

He kissed her rosy cheek amidst her shy gaze.

"This is a human gesture of affection - a kiss on the cheek."

"Hmph! Bing'er is right, you humans really have a whole set of tricks up your sleeves."

"whee."

Ye Xuanxin intimately linked arms with Xue Di.

He leaned against her.

A look of longing and joy flashed in his eyes.

Xue Di is right, the human heart is dirty, especially when it comes to emotions.

He wanted to be with Xue Di, but Xue Di's feelings for him were probably mostly those of a sister towards her brother.

Only by openly expressing your feelings and breaking down the thin veil between kinship and romantic love, making her understand your intentions, can you transform kinship into romantic love.

If the truth is never revealed, Xue Di's emotional ignorance will only deepen her affection for him, until it becomes completely irreversible.

Ye Xuanxin summarized the theories in her mind.
