NOVEL NEXT Chapter 7
Chapter 7: Extra System Reward! Su Mengyao Wants to Ride the Beast Chariot?:
Understanding the situation, the law enforcement elder swiftly took Su Qing away.
Su Mengyao tried to stop him, but it was too late.
The sight left everyone present in shock. The members of the Su family stood frozen in disbelief.
“Qin Yuan… you… you!” Su Mengyao’s voice trembled as she stared at Qin Yuan’s indifferent back.
She was so overwhelmed with anger that she almost spat out blood.
She wanted to lash out, to insult him, but her best friend, Yu Ying, stopped her just in time.
Yu Ying whispered urgently, “Mengyao, calm down. There are too many people watching.”
“Ying Ying, did you hear what Qin Yuan just called me? He actually said I had a pig brain! What is he trying to do? Does he want to rebel? He was never like this before!” Su Mengyao’s chest heaved as she struggled to contain her rage.
Yu Ying soothed her gently, “Mengyao, you need to relax. Think of it from another perspective.”
“What do you mean?” Su Mengyao asked, a flicker of confusion crossing her face.
Yu Ying suggested, “Qin Yuan might have a hidden motive. Have you ever heard of the phrase ‘playing hard to get’?”
“Playing hard to get?” Su Mengyao repeated, still puzzled.
“Yes,” Yu Ying continued, her tone calm and confident. “Qin Yuan’s behavior was strange, but deep down, he must still have feelings for you. Didn’t he say he would come to your house tomorrow to break off the engagement? But think about it—what does breaking off the engagement really mean? Do you truly believe he wants to end things?”
Su Mengyao frowned, still trying to make sense of it all. “So, what are you saying?”
“I’m saying that he probably doesn’t want to break off the engagement,” Yu Ying explained. “He might be using this as a tactic to make you feel insecure, to make you think he doesn’t care anymore, when in fact, he still does. It’s a strategy in relationships.”
“So, I just need to be patient?” Su Mengyao said, her eyes widening in realization.
“Exactly,” Yu Ying confirmed with a smile. “Be patient, and soon enough, it will be him who becomes anxious, not you.”
“I see now,” Su Mengyao said, a new sense of understanding dawning on her. “I never expected Qin Yuan to become so clever after just a few days. But I’m sure someone must have given him this idea. I don’t think he could have come up with it on his own.”
…
“Damn you, Qin Yuan.” Lin Yun muttered under his breath, having overheard the conversation between the two women.
His eyes flashed with anger. “So, you’re still in love with Su Mengyao, after all. But it doesn’t matter. Su Mengyao is mine, and I won’t let you take her away. I’ll defeat you in the sect competition in half a month and prove that I’m the one who deserves her.”
Lin Yun clenched his fists, convinced that he would easily defeat Qin Yuan and humiliate him.
…
Meanwhile, in the Holy Son’s Hall, a system message echoed in Qin Yuan’s mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for altering the original plot. Lin Yun’s luck points have decreased by 3,000. The host has gained 3,000 villain points and 1 Blood Ganoderma Lucidum.]
[Ding! The host has perfectly disrupted the original plot and has received additional rewards: x1 Holy Spirit Gathering Pill, Earth-Level Blood Dragon Sword (top grade).]
“Perfectly disrupted, huh?” Qin Yuan mused, stretching lazily on his chair. In the next moment, a powerful sword and two treasures appeared before him.
“These are all excellent items.” He thought, his eyes gleaming as he examined the treasures.
The Blood Ganoderma Lucidum was a rare item that could enhance one’s Qi and blood, even helping in a breakthrough during critical moments. The Holy Grade Spirit Gathering Pill was even more valuable—a pill of the highest quality, nearly impossible to refine unless one had profound knowledge of alchemy.
The Spirit Gathering Pill, being a holy-grade item, would cause a frenzy among the most powerful beings if it were to be discovered.
Finally, his gaze settled on the Blood Dragon Sword, an earth-level treasure. This wasn’t just any earth-level weapon; it was nearly at the level of a heaven-grade weapon. It was more precious than anything the original owner had intended to give Shen Mengyao because it contained dragon energy.
The sword’s connection to a dragon—creatures that were considered gods in this world—made it invaluable. Even the weakest dragon was as powerful as a saint, so a weapon that had slain a dragon held extraordinary power.
…
The Heavenly Vault Holy Land was an expansive, sacred area, located high above the clouds in the northern part of Tianzhou.
The Su family resided in the distant Qingzhou region, separated by a vast distance.
Traveling between the two places by flying would take several months. Normally, Su Mengyao would choose to travel back to her family using a beast chariot—a grand, palace-like vehicle pulled by powerful monsters.
However, today, there was a problem.
“What do you mean I can’t ride the beast chariot?” Su Mengyao argued with the elderly guardian of the chariots. “I’m an inner disciple. According to the rules, I’m fully qualified.”
Her raised voice attracted the attention of many Holy Land disciples, who gathered around to see what was happening.
“You are qualified,” the old man replied, pointing to the empty space where the chariots should have been. “But as you can see, there are no chariots left. You’re too late.”
Heavenly Vault Holy Land had a limited number of beast chariots—only twenty in total.
By this time, they were usually all taken.
If someone wanted to ride one, they had to arrive early. Otherwise, they’d have to find another way to travel.
Of course, if one was wealthy enough, they could rent a beast from the monster shop, but that would require spending spiritual stones.
“But there are two chariots still there!” Su Mengyao pointed to two magnificent, beast-drawn chariots behind the old man. “I’ve ridden one of those before. Why can’t I ride it today? Are you targeting me? Do you know who I am?”
Her outburst caused the onlookers to stifle their laughter. The old man sighed, clearly exasperated.
Su Mengyao’s question was indeed foolish.
Those two chariots were reserved for the Holy Son himself.
Only the Holy Son of the Heavenly Vault Holy Land was permitted to use them.
Su Mengyao, being only an inner disciple, had no right to ride in them—except for before when she was engaged to Qin Yuan.
Back then, Qin Yuan’s affection for her had allowed her to bend the rules and ride in the Holy Son’s chariot.
