Chapter 151 -144: Flipping the Table! (Please Subscribe)

About the Taoist Divine Palace, Chen Yuan felt that it probably was a very secretive force within Jianghu, even if the Ascending Immortal Tower knew of it, the cost may not be small.

Moreover, it would let the people of the Ascending Immortal Tower know of his connection with the Taoist Divine Palace.

If targeted by their enemies, even ten lives might not be enough for Chen Yuan.

Regarding the Ascending Immortal Tower, Chen Yuan’s first impression was quite good, but he still did not trust them; after all, they were just a force that trafficked in information, with interests as their priority.

After wandering around Nanling City for a while, Chen Yuan returned to the small courtyard in City East, contemplating the sudden increase in his cultivation.

Half a pot of Spiritual Tea had greatly advanced his cultivation, sparing him many days of hard cultivation, but ultimately, it was not gained from his own cultivation efforts. It still felt somewhat superficial, and Chen Yuan needed to refine it again using the Supreme Mysterious Scripture.

…

…

As night fell, Chen Yuan woke from his cultivation, looked at the bright stars and moon in the night sky, his mouth slightly curling into a faint smile.

After half a day of cultivation, the suddenly increased cultivation had now stabilized completely, indistinguishable from the True Qi he had cultivated on his own, and he was also ready to meet Shen Yanshu.

If she was sensible, Chen Yuan would not make things difficult for her, but if she was not, Chen Yuan would have no choice but to ruthlessly destroy the flower and forcefully seize the Phoenix Marrow Energy.

Dressed in ordinary clothes, his face covered with a black iron mask he had made earlier, Chen Yuan set out!

It took about half an hour for Chen Yuan to reach the Shen Family in West City.

There were two family guards at the door, closely watching the gates without shifting their gaze. Like a gust of wind, Chen Yuan leapt onto the walls of the Shen Family and disappeared into the vast night.

In the Shen Family’s backyard.

Shen Yanshu sat on a chair, dressed in a water-blue robe, her brow deeply furrowed as if facing some difficult issue, while her maid hesitated by her side, wanting to speak but seeming afraid to do so.

In the end, she could only lower her head.

“Miss, why don’t… we run away?”

Suddenly, the maid lifted her head, her eyes lighting up.

Shen Yanshu glanced at her,

“Silly girl, if we ran, what would happen to your parents? And what about my Shen family?”

“But we can’t just let Miss marry that profligate son. I’ve secretly inquired about him; that guy is not a good person. He spends his days in the brothels, thoroughly useless,

how could he ever be worthy of you, Miss?”

The maid hurriedly said.

Shen Yanshu sighed deeply, her brows tightening further.

The waste the little Jade spoke of was the source of her distress.

Named Bei Le, he was the only son of Bei Haisheng, the deputy gang leader of the Changle Gang, beloved extremely and spoiled rotten, always fearful that he would suffer the slightest grievance. His behavior was utterly reckless, bullying men and oppressing women was his daily routine,

If not for Bei Haisheng’s protection and mostly confining himself to City West and South City, he would have been chopped into eighteen pieces long ago.

However, it was precisely during an outing that Shen Yanshu caught his eye, and he insisted on marrying her.

Even Shen Kaishan, her father, tried negotiating through intermediaries but to no avail, even causing Bei Haisheng to become furious and accuse Shen Kaishan of thinking the Bei family unworthy of the Shen family?

This remark left Shen Kaishan speechless, unsure what to say, fearing he might anger Bei Haisheng further.

With the power and influence Bei Haisheng, as deputy gang leader of the Changle Gang, held, it was far beyond what the Shen family could compare to. If not for Bei Le being such a wastrel,

Shen Kaishan would have felt it acceptable to agree to the marriage.

Today, Bei Haisheng had already sent word that he would bring the engagement gifts in three days, and relayed a message to Shen Kaishan, telling him that once the marriage was agreed upon, the Shen family would be protected by the Changle Gang henceforth.

The current predicament would all vanish, and moreover, they would seek the gang leader to take Shen Kaishan’s youngest son as an apprentice; the conditions were indeed generous. Thus, after weighing it, Shen Kaishan found Shen Yanshu hoping she would agree.

But how could Shen Yanshu agree?

Having been skilled with spears and cudgels from a young age, her heart set on martial arts, intent on making a name for herself in Jianghu, how could she be troubled by childhood sentimentality?

And she completely despised Bei Le.

Most importantly, she possessed the Phoenix Marrow Spirit Body and could not defile her body until Qi Absorption, otherwise her path in martial arts would be cut off from then on; this secret had always been buried deep in her heart,

and it was her greatest secret.

Aside from her deceased mother, no one in the entire Shen family knew.

Not even her father.

Her mother had warned her before that once the matter of the Phoenix Marrow Spirit Body got out, she would face the covetousness of many,

and they would treat her as a cauldron, suffering a fate worse than death!

Even learning about the Phoenix Marrow Spirit Body had cost her mother a great deal.

“So what can we do? If the engagement gifts are delivered after three days, there will be no opportunity left…” the maid expressed urgently, her face anxious.

Aside from worrying for Shen Yanshu, she was also concerned for herself.

According to custom, personal maids like her were to be betrothed alongside their mistresses as concubines.

But Bei Le was someone she utterly despised.

Not only was his appearance ordinary, he himself was crippled, with severed meridians since childhood, incapable of any cultivation. If not for being Bei Le’s only child, he wouldn’t even be worthy of her.

“I will think of something…”

Shen Yanshu’s brows were locked tight, but realistically, there weren’t any good options before her.

Escaping Nanling Prefecture was an option, but if she left, it would be the end for the entire Shen family, an act that would be like slapping Bei Haisheng’s face, certainly not something he would let go of easily.

If the Shen family had treated her poorly, it would be another matter, but whether it was her father or her brother, they had been very good to her; she simply could not abandon these familial ties.

But if she didn’t flee and married Bei Le, her entire life would be ruined…

“Miss, if that guy Bei Le died…”

The maid spoke softly.

“Do you think if Bei Le suddenly died right before the engagement, Bei Haisheng wouldn’t suspect the Shen family? Even if he had no evidence, he could still vent his anger on us…”

She had of course considered this option, but it was quickly dismissed.

Such a coincidence could not be hidden from Bei Le.

Even accidental death was out of the question.

It would even make Bei Haisheng believe she, Shen Yanshu, was responsible for crippling Bei Le, further infuriating him.

“Then…”

“Enough, you may go now, I need to think…” Shen Yanshu waved her hand dismissively.

The maid looked worriedly at her mistress, silently made the bed, and left the room.

After deep contemplation, Shen Yanshu sighed heavily, as if the only option left to her now was to resign herself to fate.

Disrobing, Shen Yanshu admired her graceful body before slowly sitting down on the bed to rest.

“Thud, thud.”

Suddenly, a crisp knocking sound came from the door, just as Shen Yanshu was preparing to rest, causing her brows to furrow:

“Xiaoyu, what else is it?”

Chen Yuan did not answer but continued knocking.

Within the Shen Family residence, he had wandered around for quite a while before finding this place.

Getting up, getting off the bed.

Shen Yanshu, hearing the knocking, opened the door without much guard and then suddenly startled, quickly covering the exposed parts of her body.

She forcefully backed away several steps on one leg, intending to draw her long sword.

But before her hand could touch the sword hilt, a streak of cold light pressed against her neck, and Chen Yuan, expressionless, looked her up and down, thinking one thing.

Such bright headlights!!!

However, he maintained his composure and said:

“Miss Shen, shall we talk?”

…

…

Inside the room.

Fully dressed again, Shen Yanshu’s cheeks still flushed with a lingering blush, coldly sized up the man in front of her wearing a black ghost-faced mask.

Meanwhile, Chen Yuan was also sizing up Shen Yanshu.

Indeed, just as Yue Shan had discovered, she was beautiful with a stern complexion. Although she frequently engaged in martial arts and body refinement, her skin was still exceptionally fair.

Especially those headlights, truly dazzling.

“Who are you, and what brings you to my Shen Family in the dead of night?” Shen Yanshu asked with a serious tone.

Now, having discarded the idea of calling for help after witnessing his ghost-like speed, she realized the man before her was a powerful practitioner of the Gang Condensation Realm!

Perhaps even her father, Shen Kaishan, was no match for him.

Calling for help, not a wise choice.

“I am Wang Ping, here especially for Miss Shen…”

Chen Yuan rudely used the name Wang Ping, since he decided to let this name be well-known in Ping’an County as a tribute to his friend.

“For me?”

Shen Yanshu was somewhat surprised, then recalling how this masked man had scrutinized her body, she became somewhat wary.

“To be precise, it’s for the Phoenix Marrow Energy in your body!”

Chen Yuan said bluntly.

Shen Yanshu’s heart shook, like a calm lake disturbed by a mighty stone.

This man actually knew about the Phoenix Marrow Energy.

Had her Phoenix Marrow Spiritual Body been exposed?

Impossible, aside from her late mother, no one else in the Shen Family knew about it; her first instinct was to think Chen Yuan was trying to deceive her, so she pretended not to understand and asked:

“What is Phoenix Marrow Energy?”

Chen Yuan smiled, having focused on Shen Yanshu when he mentioned the Phoenix Marrow Energy, he saw the fleeting distraction in her eyes.

“Since Wang has come, he knows your greatest secret; hiding it is pointless.”

“You…” Shen Yanshu bit her teeth, unable to speak.

Realizing her greatest secret had indeed been exposed.

“Let’s make a trade, give me the Phoenix Marrow Energy, and I will give you a sum of silver or cultivation resources.”

If Chen Yuan hadn’t known from Ye Chenbai that forcefully taking the Phoenix Marrow Energy would greatly reduce its effectiveness, he wouldn’t have wasted so much time talking, and would have just taken it by force.

The Phoenix Marrow Energy nurtures the Phoenix Marrow Spiritual Body and can be extracted without *violence*.

Of course, if Shen Yanshu really was unwilling, or the terms he required could not be met, then Chen Yuan would have no choice but to overturn the table and forcefully take the Phoenix Marrow Energy.

However, that was a last resort.

If possible, he still hoped to obtain the complete Phoenix Marrow Energy because he wasn’t sure whether this substance was related to his martial arts, and not getting enough could possibly be a big problem.

“You know about the Phoenix Marrow Energy, don’t you realize its value isn’t comparable to mere silver?” Shen Yanshu couldn’t help but say.

Chen Yuan gave a cold smile, and said: …
