"Young master, please wait!"

Just as he stepped out of the Drunken Fragrance Building, Wu Yiming suddenly heard a voice calling from across the street, prompting him to look up.

He paid no attention to the man who shouted at him, focusing solely on the young girl standing there.

She was as slender as a new willow, her brows and eyes curved like a crescent moon, carrying an innocence with a touch of naivety.

The small green hat atop her head only added to her charming sweetness.

As the sole son of Real Man Wu Jue, the City Lord of Luoxian City, Wu Yiming had been pampered all his life, and had seen all kinds of women.

Thanks to his father being a Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivator, countless women sought his presence, hoping to rise high like a phoenix.

Yet ironically, he hadn't experienced the pure, innocent allure of a young woman like this before.

So Wu Yiming walked straight over, flicked his hair, and arrogantly opened his fan.

"Miss, are you alone?"

Seeing this, Chen Nan was also taken aback.

Originally, he had planned for Song Ya to charm this young man from the City Lord Mansion, hoping to gather information about Song Ya's mother.

After all, with a dozen guards accompanying the young master, including two Golden Core Stage cultivators, charm seemed the only viable strategy.

Yet unexpectedly, before the beauty trap even began, Wu Yiming had already fallen for it, and it was too easy.

Song Ya timidly looked at Chen Nan, genuinely fearful, for if her Demon Clan identity was exposed, she'd be doomed.

Remembering Chen Nan's advice to win the young master's favor and always answer his questions, she nodded seriously, "Yes, after all, going out half a person would terrify people."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nan felt a chill run down his spine.

Talking like this isn't afraid of provoking a fight?

Apparently, letting Song Ya carry out the beauty trap was too much of an imposition, requiring consideration of an alternative plan.

But who could have guessed that Wu Yiming, after a brief pause, burst into laughter.

"Haha, woman, I'll be frank, you've caught my eye, and I'm becoming interested in you."

The unexpected turn left Chen Nan dumbfounded.

Is this person insane?

Then, Wu Yiming's next words instantly sparked Chen Nan's attention: "Woman, I'm Wu Yiming, the son of Luoxian City's City Lord. Would you like to come home with me?"

The pursuit of women is straightforward, even Chen Nan couldn't help but want to give a thumbs up.

Isn't talking like this afraid of a fight?

It's a good thing he's the City Lord's son; otherwise, speaking so bluntly, he'd have been beaten long ago.

However, Chen Nan was surprised that the young master before him turned out to be the City Lord's son, surely knowing Song Ya's mother's whereabouts.

Song Ya kept Chen Nan's words in mind, nodding to follow the young master's lead.

"Sure."

Chen Nan slapped his forehead; indeed, where there's a crouching dragon, there's bound to be a phoenix chick!

How could she agree in such circumstances?

Entering the City Lord Mansion would be like stepping into a dragon's lair, impossible to escape!

Chen Nan quickly concocted multiple countermeasures and, seeing Wu Yiming actually about to take Song Ya away, rushed forward but was blocked by Wu Yiming's guards.

"Young master, this is my sister; she's not very bright. Isn't it inappropriate to take her like this?"

Wu Yiming frowned at Chen Nan, seeing that Song Ya did not refute, and instantly swapped to a smiling face.

He directly pushed aside his guard, stepping in front of Chen Nan.

"Brother-in-law, I've taken a liking to your sister. Name your price?"

What the hell!

Chen Nan nearly cursed, thinking, "Just because you're the City Lord's son, are you allowed to buy and sell by force?"

And he's snatching a person at that.

He hurriedly grabbed Song Ya's hand, turning to leave.

"Apologies young master, how could I sell my own sister?"

The guards promptly moved to stop Chen Nan, clearly adept at forcefully seizing maidens, a practice they've honed well.

Wu Yiming waved his hand, signaling the guards to back off.

"Brother-in-law, I'm really fond of your sister. What conditions would you need to give your sister in marriage to me?"

Chen Nan appeared helpless, sighing, "If you're sincere, at least you should meet our parents, right?"

"Indeed," Wu Yiming clapped his hands with enthusiasm, "That's proper, let's go now!"

"Where's your place?"

Chen Nan pointed towards the city gate: "Outside the city."

He hadn't expected the City Lord's son to be so easily fooled, showing poor judgment yet quite polite.

And so the group headed out of the city, with the intimidating guards trailing behind.

"I say, brother-in-law, those guards behind you seem really fierce. It's not good to bring them to my house, what if my parents mistake you for trouble?"

"True." Wu Yiming nodded earnestly, delighted by Chen Nan calling him brother-in-law, "You all head back first and prepare."

"Young master, we can't!"

One of the Golden Core Stage guards stepped forward, eyeing Chen Nan with suspicion.

Wu Yiming might be naive, but they were not; an apparent problem was unfolding right before them.

Seeing his own guard dare to confront him brought embarrassment, prompting Wu Yiming to grow stern.

"Are you the young master or am I? If I'm the young master, you listen to me!"

"Scram at once, any of you who ruin my chances, don't blame me for telling my father to flay you!"

The faces of the two Golden Core Stage cultivators suddenly changed, clearly fearful of Wu Yiming's father.

This amusing scene made Chen Nan laugh, observing that even among cultivators normally held in high regard, in the presence of stronger figures, they were no more than mere dogs.

Ultimately, the guards halted, watching Wu Yiming and the other two leave.

Certainly, Chen Nan knew the two Golden Core Stage were still trailing behind, albeit transitioning from plain sight to stealth.

Yet once outside the city, they'd have no choice.

The three soon exited the city, avoiding the main road, instead traversing treacherous paths.

"Brother-in-law, does your family live in the mountains?"

Despite possessing a Foundation Establishment Stage two-level cultivation, Wu Yiming struggled, sweating profusely after only a few steps.

Seeing they were already several miles from Luoxian City, Chen Nan laughed and nodded.

"Yes, in the mountains. Let me show you!"

His smile turned ominous, startling Wu Yiming.

In the next flash, a pair of lightning wings unfolded from Chen Nan's back; he grasped Song Ya in one hand and Wu Yiming in the other, transforming into a bolt of lightning as they plunged into the forest.

The two trailing Golden Core Stage cultivators simultaneously turned pale, never imagining Chen Nan could erupt with such startling speed in an instant, surpassing them entirely!

"Damn, this isn't good!"
