Chapter 2252 - 2211: Father-in-law Truly is a Shouxin Man!

Wang Xiaoqiang is currently no match for Jiangh Zifang; he fears that Jiangh Zifang might try to kill him when dealing with the ransom. So, he snatched the Communication Talisman from Jiangh Churan's hand, deliberately using a hoarse voice and a sinister tone, he spoke to the Communication Talisman, "Jiang, I've got no other intentions. Kidnapping your daughter, indeed, I only want the Spirit Chicken to restore this old body of mine which is steadily decaying. Now your precious daughter is with me. If you don't want anything happening to her, you better obediently follow the plan as I dictate..."

Jiangh Zifang's voice came through, filled with anger, yet solemn, carrying evil qi, and with the intent to kill, "I don't know who you are, but you must guarantee my daughter's safety, not even a hair on her head is to be touched..."

Wang Xiaoqiang thought to himself, not to mention a hair, I've moved all the hairs on her body, but feigned disdain and responded, "Jiangh Zifang, don't worry, this old man is not such a person without character. Besides, your daughter's just a yellow-headed girl, not quite to my liking. As long as you deliver the twenty Spirit Chickens, I won't touch her."

"Twenty Spirit Chickens, no problem. Tell me, how should we do the exchange?" Jiangh Zifang's voice rang out.

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Jiangh Zifang, remember, don't try any tricks on me, or I will tear up the note."

After a pause, Wang Xiaoqiang continued, "Listen carefully, tomorrow night at the midnight hour, put the twenty Spirit Chickens into a Storage Ring. Have someone deliver it to the central point of the Corpse Yin Mountain Range, then wait for further instructions..."

Jiangh Zifang's voice came through, angry and cold, "This isn't a fair exchange, the conditions aren't equal, old scoundrel, you're playing me."

"You're in no position to negotiate terms with me," Wang Xiaoqiang continued in that sinister old voice, "Once I get the Spirit Chickens, I will release your daughter."

"How do I know you're not just playing me, what if you back out, then I'd be losing both person and treasure..."

"Jiangh Zifang, I said, you're in no position to negotiate terms with me," Wang Xiaoqiang replied, "If I were to extort you, the stakes this time would not merely be twenty Spirit Chickens, you understand what I mean..."

Silence from the other end of the Communication Talisman,

Wang Xiaoqiang decisively hung up the Communication Talisman, but soon it lit up again, displaying Jiangh Zifang's portrait,

After a while, Wang Xiaoqiang finally answered the Communication Talisman, keeping Jiangh Zifang in suspense. Scared of being strung along again, Jiangh Zifang's voice seemed a bit anxious, as he compromised weakly, saying, "Alright, I accept. I hope you keep your promise, release my daughter after you get the Spirit Chickens."

"Mhm, once I get the Spirit Chickens, I will naturally release her. Your daughter may be a treasure to you, but to me, she's nothing but wind. Why would I keep her..." Wang Xiaoqiang answered, then decisively hung up the Communication Talisman.

Jiangh Churan watched Wang Xiaoqiang negotiate with her father using the Communication Talisman, feeling both love and hate for his cunning and deceit, especially that last sentence, which made her very uncomfortable,

After all, she was just eighteen, with a girlish mind; even though she knew Wang Xiaoqiang was only deceiving her father, hearing him say she was nothing, brought a flush of shame and frustration to her heart,

Seeing him cut off the Communication Talisman, she gave him a furious glare and said sulkily, "So in your eyes, I'm really nothing,"

"Did you believe those words, I actually consider you a treasure, Ranran, don't worry, in the future I will love you even more than your father does," Wang Xiaoqiang said as he wrapped Jiangh Churan in his arms and kissed her cheek.

Jiangh Churan felt a sweetness in her heart, yet she raised her pretty eyes and gave him a fierce glare, "Sweet-talker, hmph, like I'd believe you?"

"I will prove it to you with actions," Wang Xiaoqiang said as he lifted her up, heading towards some other person's big bed, Jiangh Churan said peevishly, "This is all you think about every day."

"Affectionate couple, without affection, where comes the couple. Hehe..." Wang Xiaoqiang laughed mischievously, slyly, though he wanted to say, without affection, where comes the son, but he dared not say it, because if he did, Jiangh Churan wouldn't dare be affectionate with him.

The second night.

Wang Xiaoqiang sent two Dead Spirit Puppets to the Corpse Yin Mountain Range. The two Dead Spirit Puppets arrived at the mountain's central location and secretly stood guard.

Midnight hour.

Two disciples of the Five Elements Sect in the Second Decline of Heavenly Beings Realm arrived at the center of Corpse Yin Mountain Range, descended from the sky. Both were the trusted direct disciples of Jiangh Zifang,

After they landed, their Divine Senses opened and scanned the surroundings thoroughly. Seeing no humans within a thousand miles surprised them greatly, nonetheless, following Jiangh Zifang's instructions, they threw the Storage Ring containing twenty Spirit Chickens into the grass nest on the ground.

Afterward, they released their Divine Senses to scan within a thousand miles again. Seeing nothing but Ghost Souls and Dead Spirits, with no humans, they left disappointed.

After these two left, Wang Xiaoqiang's two Dead Spirit Puppets flew over, picked up the Storage Ring from the grass nest, then flew out of the Corpse Yin Mountain Range,

In the outlying areas of the Corpse Yin Mountain Range, disciples of the Five Elements Sect guarded in all directions, all of high-level experts in and above the Second Decline of Heavenly Beings Realm. Anyone entering Corpse Yin Mountain Range could not escape their Divine Senses,

However, they only verified humans, not Dead Spirits, allowing Wang Xiaoqiang's two Dead Spirit Puppets to leave Corpse Yin Mountain Range smoothly.

Jiangh Zifang's dispatched men waited in Corpse Yin Mountain Range all night, never seeing a human enter, they thought they had been played,

At dawn the next day, the two disciples responsible for dropping the Storage Ring returned to the center of Corpse Yin Mountain Range to find the Storage Ring, only to discover it was gone,

Faced with this situation, the two direct disciples were extremely puzzled, exchanged glances, and felt both anxious and fearful. Recovering, they immediately used the Communication Talisman to inform Jiangh Zifang,

Upon hearing the news, Jiangh Zifang was greatly surprised, shouted at the two, and then scolded all the disciples guarding the mountain range's edges, cursing them for being careless and neglecting duty.

Because in his view, if these people were attentive, it would have been impossible for anyone to take the Storage Ring out of the Corpse Yin Mountain Range,

He had no idea; the Storage Ring filled with twenty Spirit Chickens had been taken out by two Dead Spirits,

As he cursed those direct disciples, the Storage Ring had already reached Wang Xiaoqiang's hands. After receiving the ring from the Dead Spirit Puppets, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately opened it. Seeing indeed twenty Spirit Chickens inside, a pleased smile spread across his face. Turning to Jiangh Churan he chuckled, "Hehe, Ranran, your father truly is a man of his word. He said twenty, and it was twenty. Seems my old father-in-law isn't entirely without merits, he's got some virtues."

"Hmph, gaining advantage then boasting," Jiangh Churan glared at Wang Xiaoqiang, displeased, "Is this what you think of my father, so beneath you? Aren't you underestimating him too much?"

Wang Xiaoqiang laughed, "Haha, alright, maybe I did underestimate him. Still, from now on, I won't dare underestimate him anymore, at least he's trustworthy. But whether he planted any hidden schemes, that we'll never know... Let's cease these unpleasant topics. Now we've got Spirit Chickens, let's feast, I'll cook Spirit Chicken for you every day, to make you plump and white, ready to give me a big chubby boy."

...

It's the third watch, wakaka, that's all for today, worn out, let's continue tomorrow.
