Chen Nan quickly released her acupoints.
Ye Yiyi, with a hint of reproach in her eyes, rushed into his embrace and started pounding on his chest, acting like a spoiled child.
To the side, Poison Wolf rolled his eyes, grumbling, "Hey, can you be considerate of others’ feelings, please? Watching you two makes this single guy here jealous."
Chen Nan stood up, punched him on the shoulder, and laughed, "Seriously, thanks this time."
"Cut the crap, better introduce some beauties from your school to me." Poison Wolf sighed deeply, his face full of melancholy. "I’ve been single for over twenty years, man. With all the beautiful resources around you, wouldn’t it be a crime not to hook me up with a few?"
Chen Nan was speechless.
This guy frequents brothels and yet he has the nerve to say that.
If it hadn’t been for Ye Yiyi being there, Chen Nan would definitely expose all of his dirty secrets.
Looking at Poison Wolf, Ye Yiyi said, "Icebird has always liked you, why don’t you just accept her? Why do you need big brother to introduce others to you?"
Icebird, ranked third among the Five Tiger Generals of the Sky Team.
She was the only woman among the five, taciturn, yet more resolute than men, skilled with the crescent moon blades, her moves fast, harsh, and precise. In a desperate effort to save Chen Nan once, she even severed Ye Ruoshui’s arm.
The mention of Icebird made Poison Wolf react as if stepped on, and he quickly shook his head, saying, "Well, I’ve got other things to handle, I’ll leave first. You lovebirds keep chatting."
With that said, he dashed off in a flash.
Chen Nan scratched his head, asking, "What’s up with him?"
"Icebird likes him, but this guy finds her too cold, not girly enough." Ye Yiyi sighed helplessly, "Every time I bring up Icebird, he runs faster than a rabbit. Really don’t see why he thinks he’s too good for her."
Chen Nan said, "Different strokes for different folks, fate is a mysterious thing, nobody can really explain it. Maybe today he’s dodging Icebird, and tomorrow he might be the one chasing after her."
"That might be true." Ye Yiyi nodded, looking at Chen Nan, "Although Icebird is a bit cold, it’s just her exterior. She is actually very warm-hearted. I hope that this blindsighted Poison Wolf will see her good qualities someday."
"Hopefully, but love is something you can’t force!"
Ye Yiyi smiled, "Right, but thankfully, Heaven is fair. My big brother’s vision is pretty clear, not blind like Poison Wolf."
"My Yiyi is so beautiful, even a blind man would suddenly see clearly upon meeting you." Chen Nan said affectionately, completely oblivious to Black Feathered Chicken’s peculiar stares, and asked, "By the way, how did you end up here?"
Ye Yiyi’s cheeks flushed slightly as she said, "I missed you a bit. I was actually on my way to find you when I bumped into all this."
"It seems Heaven was also helping me. If you hadn’t arrived in time, I might really have been in trouble today." Chen Nan remarked.
"That means neither of our lives was supposed to end," she said, resting her head on his shoulder, "If I hadn’t bumped into you, the Qilin Poison Fire acting up halfway might have killed me. By the way, why was that Han Yang impersonating you?
Speaking of it, Chen Nan clenched his fists.
He had already marked Han Yang for death, saying, "He’s from the Corpse-controlling Sect, trying to win Su Qingqing’s trust by impersonating me. Then, he planned to use her Holy Daughter Spiritual Power to refine her into a War Corpse and take complete control of her."
"To think about refining a living person into a War Corpse, such a malevolent method," Ye Yiyi said indignantly, looking at Chen Nan, "Master once told me that Su Qingqing is not as simple as just being a descendant of the Holy Daughter. Now it seems that even the Corpse-controlling Sect is after her, her identity must really be quite special."
Chen Nan frowned and asked, "Not just a descendant of the Holy Daughter? Did Master mention what exactly is going on?"
Ye Yiyi shook her head, "I asked, but he wouldn’t say."
"That damn old man, always playing coy," Chen Nan looked at Ye Yiyi and after a moment of silence, asked, "By the way, about the Qilin Poison Fire in your body, did Master say if there was a way to cure it?"
Ye Yiyi shook her head again, "No, he said that everything is destined by Heaven."
"Don’t worry, no matter what, I will find a way to cure it," Chen Nan said, looking into her eyes, very seriously.
Ye Yiyi nodded and giggled, "Okay, enough of that, can you take me out to play? You haven’t taken me out for fun in many years."
Chen Nan took her hand and stood up, saying, "Come on, big brother will carry you on his back to the park."
Ye Yiyi happily nodded and jumped onto Chen Nan’s back, "Hehe, am I heavy?"
Chen Nan sighed, "You’re two hundred fifty pounds, how could you not be heavy?"
"You mean big brother, you’re insulting me."
Ye Yiyi started pounding on his back in annoyance.
Chen Nan simply laughed heartily, carrying her as he ran out of the woods. Everything seemed to have returned to nine years ago, back to that innocent age tinged with a bit of greenness.
Watching the two depart, Black Feathered Chicken flapped its wings and cursed loudly, "Damn it, gosh, you disloyal rascal, to ditch your grandfather chicken and run off, screw this."
(Happy Chinese New Year’s Eve, and Happy New Year tomorrow.)
