NOVEL NEXT Chapter 192
Looking at the completely unconscious Yan Mei with a swollen cheek, Jiang Chen was infuriated.
Nine cycles of reincarnation, this Yan Mei always causes problems!
In every life, she tried to snatch Lin Mubai’s Innate Dao Bone, and each time he tried to rescue him, he ended up being accused of “harming a fellow sect member” and was expelled from the sect.
In every life, Jiang Chen wanted to kill this woman, but she was the number one true disciple of the Ghost Controlling Sect, and she was always protected by guardians or elders of the Ghost Controlling Sect when she went out, so he never succeeded.
He could never have imagined that in this life, Yan Mei would actually come to him, delivering her own head.
Jiang Chen was very clear about Yan Mei’s character.
This kind of woman trying to seduce him?
He found it disgusting to even look at her.
If he hadn’t lost control just now, he wouldn’t have had any physical contact with this kind of ‘worn-out’ woman.
“Dirty.”Jiang Chen wiped his palm on Zhang Hu’s clothes, who was standing nearby.
Zhang Hu didn’t mind at all and even had a flattering smile on his face, saying, “Eldest Senior Brother, that slap just now was earth-shattering, ghost-weeping, and flower-crushing, fully showing your domineering spirit! From that slap alone, I can see that Senior Brother has the bearing of a great emperor!”
“That slap has something to do with being an emperor?” Jiang Chen was taken aback.
“Of course!”
Zhang Hu explained earnestly, “Throughout history, those who became great emperors were decisive in killing. Faced with beauty, Eldest Senior Brother acted without reason or basis! Greeting her with a slap upon meeting? Such a thunderous approach would make even emperors bow in respect!”
“Hmm…”
Jiang Chen nodded, accepting the compliment.
He didn’t really think so, but it gave him a good idea.
If he spread the word about his “emperor’s bearing,” he could attract various formidable enemies.
Then, he could do some villainous deeds and earn a bunch of system rewards, right?
This plan was simply perfect.
Since returning to Jiuyan Sect from Buddha Temple, Jiang Chen had resumed his dull and boring villainous life.
Since bullying people didn’t bring him any joy, he had no choice but to find pleasure in bullying spiritual beasts every day.
But even bullying spiritual beasts nearly drove him mad.
The lunatics of Jiuyan Sect didn’t play by the rules.
After learning that he liked to bully spiritual beasts, the Peak Masters actually started sending spiritual beasts to him.
Beast Taming Peak was the most outrageous, even offering their own demon beasts for Jiang Chen to bully.
Look at this, is this something a normal human would do?
They even deprived Jiang Chen of the joy of bullying spiritual beasts.
Simply not acting like a human!
Jiang Chen had decided that once Xiao Hongyi finished her seclusion, he would take on a mission and leave the sect.
The world outside was vast, and he had no need or reason to stay in Jiuyan Sect and play with a bunch of lunatics.
It’s worth mentioning that after returning to Jiuyan Sect, Xiao Hongyi, Jiang Lianyue, Qingning, and even Xiaobai all went into seclusion, trying to break through in one fell swoop.
The reason for this was that they were all stimulated.
During the sect war, they had no power to resist the hands of Buddha Old Ancestor, and in the end, they were saved by Jiang Chen.
How could this be acceptable?
The people in this life wanted to protect Jiang Chen! Not to be protected by him!
Therefore, the women and the tiger went into seclusion together.
“Eldest Senior Brother, Lin Feng has been accepted into the Ancient Pill Tower,” Zhang Hu suddenly said.
“I know.”
Jiang Chen nodded again.
He had been keeping a close eye on Lin Feng’s movements, but he didn’t expect the bald monks of Buddha Temple to send Lin Feng to the Ancient Pill Tower.
But this was also good.
With the profound heritage of the Ancient Pill Tower, Lin Feng becoming its true disciple was also an opportunity.
This Son of Destiny was really underwhelming right now. Jiang Chen planned to let him develop for a while, and when the time was right, he would go and beat him up.
But back to the main point.
After a cold laugh, the Flame Blood Dragon Sword appeared in Jiang Chen’s hand.
Since Yan Mei had come to deliver her head, he didn’t need to be polite.
Although they were all villains, and killing her probably wouldn’t yield any system rewards, it would be satisfying just to vent his anger.
But just as he was about to make his move.
“Jiang Chen! No, absolutely not! This person has come to Ninth Peak for a marriage alliance!” A cry of alarm sounded.
A marriage alliance?
Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned.
And while he was stunned, Sword Peak’s master Zhang Lingfeng appeared, standing in front of the unconscious Yan Mei.
“A marriage alliance, with whom do you want this wretch to be united?” Jiang Chen asked coldly after regaining his composure.
“Uhh…”
Zhang Lingfeng was at a loss for words, feeling uneasy.
It’s over! In a moment of urgency, he had let something slip.
Zhang Lingfeng had been in the Sect Master’s hall with Sect Master Gu Changqing and others, receiving visitors from the Ghost Controlling Sect.
During that time, Gu Changqing had asked him to check on Jiang Chen’s situation.
Gu Changqing’s intention was if Jiang Chen and Yan Mei got along well and took a liking to each other, then they would discuss the marriage alliance with Jiang Chen.
Otherwise, the marriage would be called off.
Of course, the dowry would not be returned.
But who would have thought that before they even started talking, Jiang Chen had given Yan Mei a slap.
And now he wanted to kill her? How could this be allowed?
In Zhang Lingfeng’s view, although Jiuyan Sect was misunderstood, it was still undoubtedly a righteous sect.
To rob the dowry and kill someone, wasn’t that murder and plunder?
It was somewhat excessive. Even if they really wanted to kill, they should do it quietly.
How could they kill someone in broad daylight at the foot of Ninth Peak?
Even if one truly needs to kill in public, a reasonable excuse must be found.
But when it comes to Jiang Chen’s personality, Zhang Lingfeng still has some understanding.
This kid is quite defiant. If he really knew about the sect’s intention for an arranged marriage, who knows what kind of trouble he would stir up?
Therefore, the truth cannot be told.
“Ahem, ahem.”
With a spin of his eyes, Zhang Lingfeng said, “This lady has come to be wed to Lin Mubai!”
“…Lin Mubai?” Jiang Chen was taken aback.
“That’s right! It is Lin Mubai!”
Zhang Lingfeng nodded, “Lin Mubai possesses the Innate Dao Bone and is deeply favored by the Old Ancestor of the Ghost Controlling Sect. Although our Jiuyan Sect is a righteous major sect, we are still very open-minded about the feelings of our disciples.”
“I see.” Jiang Chen suddenly understood.
He believed that?
Zhang Lingfeng was astonished.
He had thought he would need to concoct another story to dispel Jiang Chen’s doubts.
What he didn’t know was Lin Mubai and Yan Mei had a nine-lifetime entanglement.
It was a love story that could be sung about and wept over.
A young scholar fell in love with a demonic enchantress… the former was so lovesick he lost all appetite, while the latter was single-mindedly focused on killing and bone collecting…
“I agree to this marriage!” Jiang Chen decisively approved.
“Ag… agreed?” Zhang Lingfeng was even more astonished.
He naturally knew that what Jiang Chen agreed to was not his own marriage but Lin Mubai’s.
However, this was not at all what the Ghost Controlling Sect had requested!
Hmm? Wait a minute?
Zhang Lingfeng’s eyes lit up again.
Judging from Jiang Chen’s attitude towards Yan Mei, not killing her was already a mercy, let alone marrying her.
In that case, why not find someone random to marry Yan Mei?
After all, the Ghost Controlling Sect didn’t specify that the marriage partner had to be Jiang Chen.
Moreover, although Lin Mubai was insane, he still possessed the Innate Dao Bone. He is also the sect’s genius!
Even if the Ghost Controlling Sect disagreed, the Jiuyan Sect could retort, “You didn’t specify, how is it our fault?”
Thus the dowry, in the end, was non-refundable.
Perfect! This plan was simply perfect!
Zhang Lingfeng praised himself in his heart.
“Since that’s the case, then you take Yan Mei to meet Lin Mubai. I will go see the Sect Master and discuss the marriage between Lin Mubai and Yan Mei with the Ghost Controlling Sect!” He urged immediately.
“I understand. As the Eldest Senior Brother of the Ninth Peak, this is my unshirkable responsibility!” Jiang Chen replied instantly.
