Chapter 166: [Door] (6400)
"Are you sure you're not some kind of secret super soldier from Dragon Country?"
"No." Chen Yan laughed, "Aren't you familiar with Dragon Country kung fu?"
"...That's for fooling kids." Vanell shook his head.
But he quickly added, "I don't mean Dragon Country kung fu is for fooling kids. What I mean is, I've seen real kung fu from Dragon Country, it's very impressive—but still nowhere near as impressive as you!"
He stared at Chen Yan for a long time, then shook his head and sighed.
Is he even human!
As for drinking, he could drink a tough guy from Mao Country under the table!
As for fighting, he could chase a bear through the forest.
Plus, he's insanely rich. In my club these days, the way he spends money, it's as if he's at odds with it?
He stays in the best rooms, buys the best gear, drinks the most expensive alcohol!
It's strange, though. My club also has women you can pay to enjoy, but he wouldn't even touch them.
At first, Vanell wondered if the man might be gay. But as soon as he brought it up, Chen Yan grabbed him by the neck and pinned him to the ground.
Chen Yan told Vanell that he's a straight as an arrow, he just doesn't like those kinds of women—finds them dirty.
Well, Vanell was relieved, so they could comfortably become brothers.
"Are you sure about leaving tomorrow?" Vanell gulped down a big glass of vodka and then opened another bottle.
"Yeah, it's time to go home." Chen Yan finished his venison and poured himself a drink.
Vanell nodded, not asking more—doing this kind of business here, he naturally knew many clients had unusual backgrounds, some involved in illegal activities, some things he wouldn't pry into.
"If you ever need anything and lack a channel, feel free to find me." Vanell laughed heartily, "I have friends in the military, some retired gear up for sale, very safe channels."
"Thanks, I'll look for you if needed." Chen Yan said courteously, though he wasn't particularly taking it to heart.
If I really needed something, would I not just take it by force?
Vanell then laughed, "The bear you hunted, the skin needs to be tanned, this process takes time, so you can't take it with you this time. Do you want to leave a safe address so I can send it to you... or store it here, and take it with you next time you come."
Chen Yan thought about it. The bear skin was indeed good, but he really didn't have the time to take it this trip.
He didn't want to give his address to Vanell, after all, domestically he's a law-abiding citizen and didn't want to associate with those who walk in darkness like Vanell.
Sending it by mail was not an option either. Bear skins are contraband domestically, it's hard to get through customs, and mailing even harder.
"Leave it here, and make sure it's processed nicely for me, I'll take it next time I come." Chen Yan sighed.
Too bad, the next time I go to Domain Realm, I can't wear a bear skin coat, that thing keeps way warmer than a regular winter coat.
And so, after spending money like water at this hunting club in Mao Country for half a month, Chen Yan left without taking a single gun, coming with one suitcase and leaving with one suitcase, ensuring nothing contraband was inside.
Vanell personally drove over a hundred kilometers to take Chen Yan to the airport of the nearest state capital city, and at the airport entrance, this Mao Country man gave Chen Yan a bear hug and waved him off.

Two days later.
"Greetings, Fellow Taoist!"
In the valley behind the He Family, the original Blinding Technique at the entrance of the cave dwelling, the massive stone blocking the way had already been moved aside.
The old fox You Su Yi stood at the entrance of the cave dwelling, bowing slightly to Chen Yan.
"How have you been, Fellow Taoist You Su?" Chen Yan asked with a warm smile as he looked at the old fox in front of him.
You Su Yi appeared much healthier.
His originally full head of silver hair had turned half black and half white, and his skin, which was as dry as orange peel, now had a hint of rosiness, with much of the collagen returning, making him look at least ten years younger.
"Without the medicine you gifted, my internal injuries wouldn't have healed so quickly." You Su Yi sighed, stepping aside with a gesture of invitation, "Please come in, Fellow Taoist!"
·
As Chen Yan arrived at the valley, You Su Yi had already sensed it, waiting early at the cave entrance—this was a clear sign to Chen Yan that the old fox's injuries were much improved.
The Primordial Spirit's injuries had healed, and thus its sensing and coverage range could be this extensive.
Chen Yan confidently walked into the cave dwelling and arrived at the stone chamber where the two had previously teamed up to kill the White Fox.
The traces of the battle had long been cleaned. Besides some stone cabinets around the large stone chamber, there were even some picked wildflowers from the mountains hanging on the walls.
On a stone table in the center, fresh fruits were neatly arranged.
"Seems like the days of secluded life in the mountains suit you well, Fellow Taoist." Chen Yan laughed.
You Su Yi's clothes were all new, though they were still of Dragon Country's traditional style, the material was obviously top-notch silk, brand new in style.
Must have been brought by her filial son.
"My son returned not long ago, bringing quite a few supplies, so even while residing in the mountains, we're not lacking in anything."
You Su Yi smiled, pouring Chen Yan a cup of tea, "The tea leaves were a gift from my son, and the water used is also premium mineral water."
