141: Chapter 140 Women Equal Trouble!

“My name is Moo Xi, nice to meet you!”

Before Lin Xuanfei could finish speaking, Moo Xi extended her fair little hand with an easy grace.

“I’m Lin Xuanfei, and it’s very nice to meet you too!”

Lin Xuanfei didn’t expect Moo Xi to take such an initiative, and her expression involuntarily paused for a second.

However, she quickly reached out her own fair little hand and grasped Moo Xi’s.

The two girls smiled brilliantly, like the rain in spring and the breeze in summer, utterly intoxicating to behold.

Yet, if one were to sniff more carefully, they could detect a faint scent of gunpowder amidst the fragrant aroma.

Women equal trouble!

The prettier the woman, the higher the level of trouble!

Both Moo Xi and Lin Xuanfei were stunning beauties, little demons who could bring disaster to a state, so in Li Chen’s eyes, these two were huge troubles.

Seizing the opportunity while Lin Xuanfei and Moo Xi were engaged in lively conversation, Li Chen cracked a smile, revealing eight neat little white teeth.

“Can I interject for a moment, beauties?”

Before the echo of Li Chen’s voice faded, Lin Xuanfei and Moo Xi both stopped talking and simultaneously shifted their gazes onto him.

Moo Xi blinked and casually asked, “Whose mouth do you want to interject into?”

Hearing Moo Xi’s question, Li Chen placed a hand on his forehead, his face a mask of embarrassed sweat.

How could such words sound so dirty?

“Going to the washroom, I’ll treat, who wants to come with?”

Li Chen’s mouth quirked up slightly as he asked very gentlemanly.

However, looking at his grave and earnest face, he was the living image of a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Upon hearing Li Chen’s offer to treat at the washroom, both Lin Xuanfei and Moo Xi were taken aback.

They glanced at each other and both rolled their eyes at him in unison, filled with utter disdain.

Li Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, “If you’re not going, then I’ll go by myself!”

After saying that, he headed straight to the washroom.

After doing his business, he didn’t head directly back to the reception hall but turned towards the backstage area of the hosts.

He used the branches and leaves of the Nine Heart Ice Lotus to concoct some pills.

These pills were called Gathering Peak Pills, which, if taken by ordinary people, could ward off all illnesses and extend life by ten years.

If taken by Martial Artists, their cultivation would greatly improve, adding at least twenty years’ worth of strength.

If the user was a Martial Artist at the Inner Strength Peak of the Great Perfection Realm of the Postnatal stage, then congratulations are in order, for breaking through the Life and Death Mysterious Gate and attaining the Innate stage is at hand today.

Li Chen’s current cultivation level had already reached the Middle Innate stage.

These pills would be of no use to him.

Ye Chuxue had just started her cultivation and still hadn’t fully mastered even the simplest Breathing Technique, so these Gathering Peak Pills weren’t needed for her at the moment either.

Moreover, if one day Ye Chuxue really reaches the Great Perfection Realm at the Inner Strength Peak of the Postnatal stage, Li Chen would personally protect her to break through the Life and Death Mysterious Gate instead of just relying on several pills to probe the path.

Thus, these Gathering Peak Pills to Li Chen were no different from chicken ribs—tough, tasteless, and somewhat wasteful to discard.

On his way here, he had heard from Moo Xi that a regular Eighth-grade pill like the Small Rejuvenation Pill could be auctioned for a sky-high price of two billion, so he planned to consign these pills for auction as well.

At the end of the corridor, there stood a young man and a young woman, facing each other.

The girl was in her bloom of youth, with a face lovelier than the full moon of mid-autumn.

She wore a light green gossamer robe that seemed to radiate a gentle luminescence under the reflection of the crystal lights, shimmering gloriously.

The young man was equally handsome, his fair complexion marked by sharp and distinct features.

With the elegance of Pan An and the grace of Songg Yu, he was, without a doubt, an exquisitely attractive young man.

Together, they made a perfectly harmonious pair, like a golden boy and a jade girl.

However, the conversation between the two was far from harmonious, and even reeked strongly of gunpowder.

“Xiaoyue, do you still not understand my sincere feelings?

Just say yes to me, and I will personally offer you the Small Rejuvenation Pill.

Once we join forces, securely dominating Jiangdong, and perhaps even reign supreme throughout Huaxia, wouldn’t that be possible?”

As the man spoke, he looked at the girl expectantly and with undisguised greed, quietly awaiting her response.

He was confident in his personal charm, not to mention, the Small Rejuvenation Pill was the life-saving Spiritual Medicine for Situ Nan, the Achilles’ heel of Situ Xiaoyue.

She had no choice but to obediently succumb and willingly be conquered by him, for whatever reason.

However, Situ Xiaoyue’s response made him change color.

“Wang Tianming, are you taking advantage of the situation?”

The youth known as Wang Tianming was momentarily stunned.

Then he let out a cold laugh: “Xiaoyue, what are you talking about?

I truly like you.

From the moment I first saw you, I was smitten.

My feelings are sincere, as sure as the sun and moon can witness!”

Situ Xiaoyue’s eyebrows inverted in fury, and with a bitter smile, she said, “Wang Tianming, stop pretending here.

Don’t think I don’t know about your wolfish ambitions.

Are you trying to use this opportunity to swallow the Situ Family’s fortune all by yourself?”

Seeing that the conversation had come to this point, Wang Tianming couldn’t bother to keep up the façade any longer.

“Xiaoyue, you’re the Heavenly Pride Girl of the Situ Family, the most dazzling pearl among the third generation of your family.

It’s not excessive to ask for half of the Situ Family’s Jiangdong territories as part of your dowry, is it?”

“I’m not afraid to tell you, all three Small Rejuvenation Pills from this year’s Dragon Tiger Mountain have already entered my Wang Family’s pocket.

They will not be available for auction.

If you still want to save your grandfather’s life…”

He left his words hanging there, coldly looking at Situ Xiaoyue.

The hidden meaning behind his words was all too clear.

If you want your grandfather to live, you must obediently submit to me!

Is this Situ Xiaoyue’s Achilles’ heel, leaving her no choice but to agree?

Sure enough, upon hearing that all three Small Rejuvenation Pills had fallen into the hands of the Wang Family, Situ Xiaoyue’s face turned drastically pale.

With wide eyes filled with rage, she glared fiercely at Wang Tianming and gritted her teeth, “Wang Tianming, the Langya Wang Family is also an aristocratic family with nearly a thousand years of history, known for passing on the virtues of propriety, wisdom, benevolence, and faith.

Yet I never imagined you would be so despicable and shameless, resorting to such vile tactics to coerce a defenseless woman into compliance.”

Wang Tianming was not at all affected by her accusation.

He twirled his White Feathered Fan with a cold laugh, “Xiaoyue, those three Small Rejuvenation Pills were rightfully purchased from Dragon Tiger Mountain at a high price, how can you call it a vile tactic?

This talk of being despicable and shameless is totally unfounded.”

With that, he snapped the fan shut with a flick and pointed at his head, saying, “Xiaoyue, starting from your grandfather’s generation, the Situ Family has dominated Jiangdong for nearly half a century.

Only you know better than I how many enemies you have made both overtly and covertly.”

“Now, although your grandfather is a prodigy, his days are numbered.

With him present, the heroes of Jiangdong might still hesitate.

But once he’s gone, just in Jiangdong alone, those coveting what you have could strip the Situ Family clean.

Not even leaving behind scraps!”

“This…”

Situ Xiaoyue’s complexion turned as pale as paper, and she wanted to say something in her defense.

But as the words reached her lips, they felt pathetically weak and ineffectual.

Undeniably, Wang Tianming’s every word was the bitter truth.

This was the dilemma facing the Situ Family now.

But to break free from this impasse, must she really sacrifice her own happiness for life?

Her heart was unwilling, but she was helpless against it.

Her heart felt like it was plummeting into a bottomless abyss…

“Miss Situ, you are a smart person.

I believe you know how to make the right choice.

I’ll give you one night to think it over, and I hope you won’t disappoint me!”

Wang Tianming changed his customary address from “Xiaoyue” to “Miss Situ,” which was clearly a reminder of her status.

You are not just Situ Xiaoyue; you are also the heiress of the Situ Family.

You must consider the entire family in everything you do.

Having said this, he gave Situ Xiaoyue a profound look, then left with a full face of triumph, leaving only Situ Xiaoyue to stand disheveled in the wind.

Situ Xiaoyue slumped against the corridor wall, her eyes empty as she stared outside the window.

Must she really sacrifice her life’s happiness to secure the Situ Family’s fleeting survival?
