Chapter 219: Chapter 219: The Sharp-Tongued Shi Lun

Chu Fan, of course, knew he was in the wrong. When it came to matters between men and women, thousands of years of tradition and propriety dictated that in a situation like this, the man was generally considered to have taken advantage.

Although he too had fallen for the four old geezers’ scheme, for a woman who looked like a fairy stepping out of a painting to be... by him...

He had definitely gotten the better end of the deal.

Beyond that, he not only felt he owed the woman before him, but he also owed Yun Xi.

But!

’This woman is way too domineering, isn’t she?’

’We were both tricked by those four old bastards, so what gives you the right to point your Sword at me?’

’Fine, you’re not pointing the Sword at me anymore, but what’s this about sealing my acupoints?’

’They say even a single day as husband and wife creates a bond that lasts a hundred, and we were together for more than a day—it was three whole days and nights!’

’If it weren’t for my Divine Separation Realm Cultivation, I’d probably have been fucked to death after these three days. Have I complained at all?’

Of course, since he was in a precarious position, he definitely didn’t dare say any of this out loud.

Not only did he not dare speak, but he could only rise to his feet under her murderous gaze and get ready to take her to find those four old bastards.

"Shouldn’t you change your clothes? Look at them, they’re all..." Chu Fan mumbled.

The woman looked down at her garments. From their previous frenzy, not only were they torn in many places, but they were also covered in stains.

It wasn’t just her clothes; Chu Fan’s were in the same state.

Judging by the woman’s expression, Chu Fan guessed she probably didn’t have a change of clothes. Otherwise, since she’d woken up before him, it was impossible that she wouldn’t have already changed into a clean outfit.

Fortunately, there were still plenty of clothes in the Juntian Mirror World that he had bought for Yun Xi before. Though this woman was cold and glamorous, her figure was similar to Yun Xi’s, so Chu Fan took out two sets and tossed them to her.

"Truly a lecher, carrying women’s clothes around with you."

The clothes Chu Fan had produced included not only outer robes and inner linings, but even intimate underthings like a bodice and underpants.

No wonder the woman thought that.

"They’re my wife’s."

"You’re already married?" As her words fell, the temperature in the grotto seemed to plummet once more.

Chu Fan deliberately put on a proud air. "But of course. For a dashing and charming man such as myself, isn’t it normal to be married? And let me tell you, my wife is not only more beautiful than you, she’s also much gentler. If it weren’t for those four old bastards, do you think I’d have taken advantage of you?"

"Then you deserve to die even more!" The killing intent in the woman’s eyes seemed to solidify.

It sent a chill down Chu Fan’s spine.

’Forget it. This woman can’t be provoked. If her hand so much as twitches, won’t my life be over right here?’

Chu Fan ignored her, picked up a set of clothes, and began to change right in front of her.

Flustered and angry, the woman turned her back. Once Chu Fan had finished changing, she said in a cold voice, "Get out. Wait for me in the tunnel. And don’t try any tricks."

Now dressed, Chu Fan obediently walked out of the grotto.

’This woman has a terrible temper. Neither the soft nor the hard approach works. I’ll have to play the long game.’

As he walked into the cave’s tunnel, he saw the White Fox lying prostrate on the ground. When the White Fox saw Chu Fan appear, it stood up and whimpered.

"Brother, you’re so shameless, doing something like that."

"Holy shit, you saw?" Chu Fan blurted out, dumbfounded.

The little fox covered its eyes with its front paws and said, "I didn’t see. I didn’t see anything."

Chu Fan’s foul mood was unexpectedly lifted, and he couldn’t help but laugh at the little fox’s antics.

The woman, now also in fresh clothes, walked over. When she heard Chu Fan’s laughter, her expression immediately iced over.

Chu Fan paid no mind to her frosty face, instead looking her up and down.

They say clothes make the person, but more often than not, the clothes and the wearer need to bring out the best in each other.

These were Yun Xi’s clothes, which Chu Fan had asked Han Chuanguang of the auction house to buy after their arrival in the Central Domain. The material and craftsmanship were absolutely superb.

The woman’s figure was similar to Yun Xi’s, so the clothes fit her perfectly.

While clothes could accentuate a peerless beauty’s face and figure, didn’t a peerless beauty’s face and figure also accentuate the splendor of the clothes?

Despite her icy demeanor, he had to admit she was truly beautiful.

It was a beauty entirely different from Yun Xi’s, but both were breathtaking, intoxicatingly so.

She was as pure and pristine as a blooming white lotus.

"Have you had your fill of looking?" the woman snapped.

"Ah! Oh, these clothes fit you quite well, huh! Right, what were we about to do again? Oh, right, go find those four old bastards and settle the score. Those four old bastards are really no-good scoundrels, scheming against us like that."

Chu Fan’s reaction was quick. As a chill ran down his spine, he scooped up the White Fox and hurried away.

The woman followed close behind him without a word.

At the mouth of the cave, Chu Fan stopped. "You’ve sealed my meridians, so I can’t fly. How about you carry me?"

The woman shot him a cold glance and flicked her left hand.

Chu Fan found that a bit of his Qi Power had returned. It was only a small portion, but enough to fly without issue. However, trying anything else was completely out of the question.

’This woman’s methods are incredible. Could she really be a Half-Saint?’

"Are you going or not?"

"Going, going!"

Chu Fan said hurriedly, then pushed off from his toes and soared into the air.

The little fox in his arms snickered secretly.

"As cunning as a fox, they say. You little rascal, you dare laugh at me? Believe it or not, I’ll abandon you right here in these deep woods," Chu Fan said menacingly to the White Fox.

"No! Brother wouldn’t have the heart to leave me behind!"

"Brother, that big sister is really pretty! Just as pretty as Sister Yun Xi. Is she your wife, too?"

Chu Fan couldn’t help but shiver at the words. "No way. With a wife like that, would I ever have a peaceful day again?"

"What did you just say?" the woman’s icy voice sounded from behind him.

The chill spread through his entire body once again.

"N-Nothing! I was just talking to this little guy here."

"Talking to an animal. Do you take me for a fool like yourself?"

"Right, right, you’re not a fool, I am. But I happen to enjoy talking to the little fox. Is that not allowed?" Chu Fan rolled his eyes.

’Women are truly unreasonable.’

’I’m your first man, for crying out loud. Shouldn’t you be a little gentler with me? Even if you can’t manage gentle, at least be polite, right?’

"Hehe!"

This time, it wasn’t just Chu Fan; even the frosty woman behind him heard the White Fox’s human-like, gloating laugh.

Before long, they were flying over the spot in the Bamboo Sea where the four old geezers had been. But as they hovered in the air, the few bamboo huts seemed to have vanished.

’An Array?’ Chu Fan immediately realized.

’If there’s an Array, how did Yun Xi and I find this place before?’

’So those four old geezers must have known she would come looking for them to vent her anger, and that’s why they activated the Array?’

"Stop hiding! All of you, get out here and face death!" the woman roared.

Chu Fan couldn’t help but rub his eyes. He saw the soundwaves from her shout crash against a barrier, sending out layers of ripples. After the ripples subsided, the bamboo huts reappeared.

The barrier itself, however, was now clearly visible.

"Lady Leng, you were in a coma for ten years. If not for us old geezers, you’d still be asleep right now! Shouldn’t you be thanking us?"

The speaker was none other than Shi Lun.

"You old bastard! To think I saw you as revered elders, even entrusting my wife to you! I can’t believe you old coots would pull something like this."

Seeing the four figures, Chu Fan grew furious as well.

"Young man, this is Leng Yingxue, number one on the Hundred Flowers List! You’re the one who got the better end of the deal, so why are you being so ungrateful?" Shi Lun said with a laugh.

"Holy shit!" Upon hearing this, Chu Fan froze, utterly dumbfounded.
