The village beauty and me!

Chen Huan smiled at the Ouyang family members, saying, "Those who know when to yield are the wise ones."

"You will soon be glad you made that decision."

Without further ado, he approached Ouyang Hongyu and then reached out to retrieve the silver needles from his body.

A flash of silver light appeared, and the Ouyang family members watched in disbelief as more than a dozen silver needles were instantly distributed across Ouyang Hongyu's chest and neck.

"Such fast technique, such precise execution!" The crowd couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Then a look of hope appeared in his eyes.

Most of the surviving members of the Ouyang family were quite capable.

Therefore, the techniques Chen Huan just used are equivalent to confirming the fact that his medical skills are superb.

Soon, just as the remaining members of the Ouyang family had hoped, Ouyang Hongyu slowly opened her eyes.

Her complexion, which had gradually darkened, slowly returned to its fair state.

Although she still looked fragile and haggard due to excessive blood loss and physical weakness, her eyes had regained their vitality and sparkle.

"They've been saved."

"The poison in your body was cured so easily?"

"That must be an incredibly powerful technique."

"How ridiculous! Our Ouyang family used to be his enemy. It's incredibly foolish!" People around them exclaimed.

Several women wept with joy at Ouyang Hongyu's successful rescue.

Ouyang Hongyu steadied herself and looked at the man in front of her with a strange expression.

After a long pause, he finally said, "You really saved me?"

Chen Huan smiled. "I saved all of you."

Ouyang Hongyu frowned slightly. "So what exactly do you want now?"

Chen Huan pursed her lips. "I've already made myself very clear."

"There was no deep-seated hatred between us, and I never intended to make things difficult for you."

"The reason I helped was partly because I couldn't stand those people who were showing off their numbers today."

"Another important reason is that I don't want to see Ma Yingjun's evil scheme succeed."

"As for what I want from you, your family members have already stated their opinion."

The Ouyang family members nearby immediately responded, "Hongyu, from now on you are the new head of the Ouyang family, and we will all listen to you."

"Just now, in order to save your life, we promised Chen Huan that from now on we would follow his lead."

"Now that we're all on the same side, Chen Huan shouldn't make things difficult for us."

Ouyang Hongyu's eyes flickered, her expression a mixture of emotions.

  

But in fact, she had already heard everything while she was unconscious.

The reason he's showing this expression now is simply because of the last bit of pride and stubbornness in his heart.

"Alright, since you've all agreed, as a member of the Ouyang family, I naturally have to do my utmost to protect our reputation. I can't go back on my word."

"From now on, I, Ouyang Hongyu, am willing to lead you to cooperate with Mr. Chen Huan."

At this moment, Ouyang Hongyu began to make her own plans.

Chen Huan saw through it but didn't expose it.

But Huang Yanyan couldn't help but say, "Get this straight, it's submission, not cooperation."

"I accompanied Chen Huan all the way here, taking such a huge risk to save you and protect this base. I didn't come here to listen to your word games."

Ouyang Hongyu blushed and looked embarrassed.

Finally, she bit her lip, frowned, and said, "Yes, it's cooperation, but also submission."

"From now on, I will follow Mr. Chen Huan's arrangements, but..."

Ouyang Hongyu couldn't bring herself to say what came next.

Chen Huan knew perfectly well what was going on and calmly replied, "Past grudges have faded away with the wind, and no one needs to mention them again."

"I don't have many strengths, but one of them is that I'm very clear about right and wrong and I keep my word."

"Unlike that Ma Yingjun, who used people and then discarded them, leaving no one alive."

"Following me might not bring you many benefits, but at least you won't be scammed."

Now that things have come to this, Ouyang Hongyu has nothing more to say.

With the few remaining family members around him, they solemnly expressed their willingness to follow Chen Huan and obey his orders.

At this moment, Chen Huan was also secretly filled with emotion.

They originally planned to come here to seize the Ouyang family's medicinal herb cultivation base and gain benefits from it.

After going through all sorts of twists and turns, they actually managed to win them over.

Sometimes, the changes and developments in this world are truly unpredictable.

But in the end, tonight was a pretty good night.

Although the Ouyang family has fallen into ruin, it still has some elite members, led by Ouyang Hongyu.

If we can make good use of them, who dares to say they can't become our own secret weapon in the future?

At this moment, Huang Yanyan kept looking back, her expression somewhat strange.

Chen Huan raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Huang Yanyan frowned. "Didn't you say that when the clouds block out the moonlight, those poisonous creatures will gather again?"

"But to me, there's not a sound at all."

Chen Huan scratched his head. "Psychological warfare. I'm just fooling those idiots."

"I didn't expect them to be so guilty that they ran away in fear."

Huang Yanyan playfully stuck out her tongue. "You're quite cunning, but didn't you ever consider what would have happened if they hadn't fallen for it?"

"Or perhaps you ran away but never really got far. If they find out you're lying, wouldn't you be in a very difficult situation?"

Chen Huan snorted, "What you think is psychological warfare might just be using some deceptive techniques to intimidate the other side."

"But it's completely different here."

"My thinking is, it would be best if I could scare them, but if not, I do know a little bit of martial arts..."

These words, spoken so casually, sent a profound shock through Huang Yanyan, Ouyang Hongyu, and the rest of the Ouyang family.

At this moment, they finally understood why Chen Huan spoke with such composure and confidence when he said the poisonous fog would quickly regroup, even though he was lying.

All strategies, in the face of true hard power, are at best just an embellishment, a mere backdrop.

Ultimately, a strong fist is what truly matters.

At this moment, a considerable number of the surviving members of the Ouyang family genuinely admired and respected Chen Huan.

This reflects people's yearning and desire for the uncontrollable strength of the powerful.

As long as Chen Huan is here, it doesn't matter whether the poison array will regroup in a short time, or whether those people outside have really left.

The Ouyang family is safe.

Now that Chen Huan has become the leader of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Hongyu naturally wants to inform him of the current situation of the Ouyang family in detail.

Under Ouyang Hongyu's explanation, Chen Huan was surprised to discover that the Ouyang family actually possessed considerable wealth in this seemingly small place.

The variety of advanced medicinal herbs cultivated and stored at this medicinal herb cultivation base is far greater and more valuable than one might imagine.

Seeing the cautious way Ouyang Hongyu explained the situation, Chen Huan generously stated, "Although you have now submitted to me, I will not touch anything belonging to the Ouyang family."

"Even if I need anything someday, I will give you the corresponding reward."

As Ouyang Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly glanced subconsciously at the tall stone wall not far away.

This action immediately made Chen Huan feel guilty.
