173: Chapter 166 Consequences Unthinkable 173: Chapter 166 Consequences Unthinkable She was afraid.
Lan Xiao was a woman of significant means, and over the years, she gradually obtained a powerful position through her talent and natural gifts.
During this period, many people showed interest in her—after all, she possessed an extraordinarily beautiful face.
However, she rejected these implicit rules one by one using her own methods and strategies.
She began her struggle at nineteen, and now, at twenty-six, though her reputation was widespread, she still bore the innocence of a maiden, with her first kiss and more still intact.
Essentially, she was a woman who had never even experienced love.
To reach this point was incredibly difficult—it could be said to be a miracle within miracles.
But everything had its limits.
In her mind, she was rapidly considering whether she could refuse if Young Master Su before her was interested in her.
She couldn’t refuse!!!
Over the years, although she had rebuffed advances from many well-backed gentlemen, including sons of the martial arts cultivation families with strong lineages,
none of them were of a caliber that matched Yuan Shen’s level.
And Young Master Su before her, who could make Yuan Shen look like a mere child…
Lan Xiao knew that if he truly fancied her, she had no choice but a dead end—a complete impossibility of refusal.
When power and background reached an overwhelmingly hopeless level, all strategies and schemes would cease to work.
Lan Xiao was afraid, her face slowly turned pale, but she managed to maintain a forced composure while standing in front of Su Chen, at least not shaking.
“Would you be interested, from today, to follow by my side?” In the next second, Su Chen asked bluntly.
“Ah…” Lan Xiao finally lost her control, her delicate body trembling faintly.
Her greatest fear had indeed materialized.
In fact, she misunderstood; what Su Chen meant by staying by his side was akin to the Blood Demon—that is, to work for him, nothing more.
Whether he would take the Blood Demon and Lan Xiao as his women in the future was something he would let happen naturally, without any deliberate coercion.
Of course, if he could, that would be best.
After all, only his own women could be absolutely sincere and trustworthy, right?
Lan Xiao, what’s wrong?
Young Master Su fancies you, and you’re not willing?
It’s your honor that Young Master Su has taken a liking to you.
Do you dare to refuse?
With just one word from Young Master Su, you could lose everything and your whole family could die, believe it or not?
Even the ‘tomorrow’ charity gala could become a thing of the past.
Do you believe that?” Yuan Shen shouted—he was trying to show off and curry favor with Su Chen.
However, he also misunderstood.
Listening to Yuan Shen’s threatening words, Su Chen was dumbfounded, his head full of black lines.
It was as if he was about to forcibly take a civilian girl.
He was really fed up.
Lan Xiao’s face was completely bloodless!!!
Yuan Shen’s words were like the last straw crushing her spirit.
At the same moment, just as Su Chen was about to comfort Lan Xiao and clarify things so as not to frighten this business prodigy,
That’s when it happened.
Young Master Su is that fierce?
He doesn’t even care about my charity gala?
I would like to see just how prestigious this Young Master Su really is?”
It was a slightly hoarse voice.
What met their eyes was a man in his late twenties, bald, not tall, with big eyes, and a pale face.
On his arm was a blood-red sword-shaped mark, which seemed to be a birthmark of sorts, likely innate.
The mark was remarkably striking, vivid as blood, drawing the eye.
The man was alone, with no one accompanying him.
“Duan Qing…” As the man appeared, Yuan Shen’s face went drastically pale, and even unwittingly took a step back, “Su…
Young Master Su, he is Duan Qing, the mad Duan Qing, second on the Hidden Dragon List!
His strength is extremely, extremely terrifying.
He dared to fight against early-stage Mysterious Qi Grandmaster Realm experts while at the peak phase of the Mysterious Qi Inner Strength Realm, and he could survive.
He even went to Bloody Beast Valley on Taixuan Mountain alone regularly to train himself, and he would always come out alive!
To practice his sword skills, he even personally killed the woman he loved!
He is a complete and utter madman!”
“I am the mastermind behind the Era Charity Banquet, Yuan Shen.
What do you mean, are you saying that this Young Master Su you mentioned can wreck my Era Charity Banquet?” Duan Qing looked towards Yuan Shen, his eyes narrowed, seemingly harmless, but the air around him was ice cold.
not at all, Young Master Duan, I…
not recognizing Mount Tai and making a joke!” Yuan Shen nearly peed himself in fear, shaking in his boots.
How the hell did he run into this madman?
Honestly, Yuan Shen would rather encounter Yoo Junluo, the number one on the Hidden Dragon List, than Duan Qing.
At least, if he encountered Yoo Junluo and died, it would be quick—he would be finished with one sword strike from Yoo Junluo.
But with Duan Qing, that bloodthirsty God of Slaughter, if he died at his hand, it would definitely be an agonizing and unworthy death without a place to be buried.
On the side, Lan Xiao stayed silent, head low, extremely frightened.
Who exactly was behind the Era Charity Banquet?
She herself had no clue.
Today, she had actually seen him.
Although she did not know Duan Qing’s identity, judging by Yuan Shen’s reaction, she could guess that Duan Qing must be terrifyingly powerful.
At this moment, Su Chen was looking at Duan Qing with interest.
This Duan Qing indeed had good strength as a Half-Step Xuanqi Grandmaster.
In terms of aura, he seemed slightly stronger than those in the early stage of the Mysterious Qi Grandmaster Realm.
Impressive strength!!!
Su Chen was certain that if it hadn’t been for the breakthrough he achieved that morning under the life-or-death pressure from Nalan Zheng, he wouldn’t have been able to match Duan Qing, not by a long shot.
To put it arrogantly, after the terrifying breakthrough that morning, Su Chen was confident enough to take on anyone on Taixuan Mountain alone, including those supreme old monsters.
Not invincible, but close to it.
A Duan Qing was but an ant, nothing more.
“I forgive your apology!” The next second, Duan Qing took a deep look at Yuan Shen and spoke indifferently, “However, if there is a next time, I will have you dead!!!
I understand!” Yuan Shen nodded, vigorously nodding his head, “Thank you, Young Master Duan, for your great mercy, Yuan Shen…
Yuan Shen is endlessly grateful!”
“Now it’s your turn!” Duan Qing then looked at Su Chen.
“My turn for what?” Su Chen was somewhat perplexed.
“To apologize!” Duan Qing said word by word.
“It was Yuan Shen who made the outrageous claims, what does it have to do with this young master?” Su Chen chuckled.
This Duan Qing was quite domineering!
“So, you really think that if you wanted to, you could really smash my Era Charity Banquet?”
Duan Qing’s eyes suddenly sharpened, like two divine weapons piercing the air, shooting straight at Su Chen.
“Su… ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novelFɪre.net
Young Master Su, quickly…
quickly apologize, otherwise, the consequences are unthinkable!” Yuan Shen quietly reminded Su Chen.
Nalan Qingcheng was also anxious, but she said nothing, believing in Su Chen’s ability to handle the situation.
Lan Xiao, on the other hand, held her breath, feeling her heart nearly stop.
A few breaths later, Su Chen suddenly lifted his head, locking eyes with Duan Qing, his words laced with playful dominance, “If I want to, not only can this young master smash your charity banquet, but I could also smash you to death.
Do you believe that?”
