Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister

"I didn't ask you to come here. If you're dissatisfied, you can leave at any time!"

Xia Lingyu said calmly, without any emotional fluctuation, continuing to handle the military affairs at hand.

Leave?

That's impossible!

Since she ignored him, Chen Xuan could only wait. He casually chose a chair to sit down on, crossing his legs and leaning back in a rogue-like manner.

Sure enough,

when Xia Lingyu glanced at his behavior, her brow furrowed, looking disgusted.

However, the corners of Chen Xuan's mouth curled slightly.

"Hmph!"

He snorted discontentedly in his heart. Since he wasn't comfortable, no one else should be comfortable either.

How could someone like Xia Lingyu, educated in imperial etiquette since childhood, tolerate such insolence in front of her?

"Speak! What's the matter!"

She looked at him coldly.

Just as Chen Xuan expected, she couldn't stand such rude behavior.

If it were someone else, she would've slapped them long ago.

"Oh, Princess, are you done?" Instantly, Chen Xuan sat up straight and looked at her with a grin.

"I really dislike you!"

Looking at his smiling face, Xia Lingyu's disdain deepened, and her words became even more blunt.

"Well, it doesn't really matter to me. After all, I'm not silver taels; not everyone can love me!"

Chen Xuan shrugged.

Besides, it doesn't matter whether she likes him or not.

He had bad teeth and still preferred young ones!

"Alright, I guess we were probably enemies in a past life, so I'll cut to the chase — here, take this back!" he said as he pulled out her whip and tossed it over.

After catching it, Xia Lingyu snorted coldly.

She was well aware that Chen Xuan couldn't have come just to return the whip.

So she waited for him to speak.

"I want some Divine Soul Liquid!"

After speaking, he stared at her, waiting for her answer.

"Divine Soul Liquid?"

Xia Lingyu sneered, "You can leave!"

How utterly ridiculous; such an item could hardly be given away casually, even she didn't have much of it.

Besides, these were reserved for future realm breakthroughs.

"Can't we negotiate?"

Unwilling to leave empty-handed, Chen Xuan tried probing further.

"No!"

Xia Lingyu replied firmly, leaving no room for compromise.

"Fine, then sorry for the disturbance!"

Chen Xuan stood up to leave.

He came here just to try his luck and wasn't very confident to begin with, given the item's preciousness.

Xia Lingyu's refusal was also to be expected.

If it didn't work out, he'd have to resort to the old method, contemplating by himself and then teaching Su Yun slowly. It was time-consuming, and the higher the realm, the harder it became. Even feeding her mouth to mouth, she might not be able to absorb it.

But just as he was about to leave, Xia Lingyu spoke up.

"If you agree to some of my conditions, it's not impossible!"

A twist of fate!

Chen Xuan immediately turned around, "Speak!"

"First, don't join Great Zhou!"

His power was too strong. If he joined Great Zhou, it would be a disaster for their Great Xia, and countless experts would die at his hands.

Although Ye Yilan was a Dark Guard, if something like that happened, it wouldn't work out.

This was one major reason she changed her mind.

"Fine, I promise not to join Great Zhou! However, I also won't join Great Xia!"

As for the condition he promised Zhou Zheng, it wasn't joining Great Zhou, just a mutual exchange.

"Alright!"

Xia Lingyu nodded; if he could join Great Xia, that would be best. If not, she believed with their current strength, they could still destroy Great Zhou.

"Anything else?"

"Of course! Did you think Divine Soul Liquid was that easy to obtain?"

Xia Lingyu looked at him like he was an idiot.

That look made Chen Xuan want to slap her, but for the Divine Soul Liquid, he held back!

"Second, you must make three moves for me! Not representing Great Xia, as the Divine Soul Liquid is mine!"

"One time!"

Chen Xuan refused directly.

Three times! She must be dreaming.

"Fine, during the battle, help me block Zhou Zheng!"

One time it is, so she chose Great Zhou's strongest man, as he could harness the National Spirit, too powerful!

Even if their side acted, there would be many casualties.

This time Chen Xuan didn't respond immediately, instead staring at her intently.

"What?"

Xia Lingyu asked, puzzled.

"Are you brainless, or am I? Zhou Zheng without the National Spirit already has close to the Seven Layers of Purity strength. You want me alone to stop him, are you insane?"

Damn it!

This old woman must lack the soothing of a man, her mind's gone crazy!

Or does she really take him for a fool?

"How dare you!"

Xia Lingyu shouted sharply, her eyes flashing with cold light, suddenly unleashing the aura of the Five Layers of Purity; a fierce wind rose throughout the grand hall.

From birth until now, besides her father, no one dared speak to her like this.

It showed how angry she was.

Yet Chen Xuan's expression didn't change at all. Just a Five Layers of Purity? If not for her being the Great Xia Princess,

he would've slapped him to death!

The gap between the Five Layers of Purity and Seven Layers of Purity is like a chasm, not to mention he's not an ordinary Seven Layers of Purity!

"Not exceeding Six Layers of Purity! This is my bottom line! Agree, and send someone to deliver the Divine Soul Liquid; disagree, and forget it!"

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Inside the main hall.

Xia Lingyu's face was cold, outrageous! Too outrageous!

If it wasn't for the impending war, she really wanted to use the Dark Guard to suppress Chen Xuan.

"Huff—"

She let out a long breath, forcefully suppressing the anger in her heart.

But...

...

Chen Xuan had just returned to the inn.

"How did it go?"

Xuan Er asked.

"That old woman is crazy!" Chen Xuan slumped onto the chair, clearly annoyed.

Damn it, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

This woman first kept him hanging, then made such an outrageous demand, must be that time of the month!

"What were you asking for?"

Up until now, Ye Yilan still didn't know what had happened!

But seeing this kid starting with 'old woman', it surely wasn't a good outcome.

"Not much, just a bit of Divine Soul Liquid!"

Chen Xuan said lightly.

"Divine Soul Liquid? Just that?" Ye Yilan really wanted to smack him; what a big claim.

Do you know how precious this stuff is? How hard it is to obtain?

"What did she ask for?" Xuan Er knew his temperament, and unless Xia Lingyu went too far, he wouldn't be like this.

"She asked me to block Zhou Zheng during the war! Old woman's not crazy, then what is she!"

As expected,

both Xuan Er and Ye Yilan's faces changed drastically upon hearing this condition.

The condition was indeed ridiculous; no wonder he was like this.

"This condition is too much, there's no need to agree to it just for some Divine Soul Liquid!" Xuan Er said in a deep voice at this point.

Even if Chen Xuan agreed, he wouldn't let him do it.

It's too dangerous!

"If you truly need this Divine Soul Liquid, why not try Great Zhou?" Just then, Ye Yilan suddenly spoke up.

"What do you mean?"

Chen Xuan asked somewhat puzzled; Xuan Er said only Xia Yi had it!

Could it be....

"Yes! You're right, the source of the Divine Soul Liquid is the National Spirit, but obtaining it is very difficult, and Great Zhou has only been established for just over a year, I don't know if they have it!"

"So that's it!"

Chen Xuan suddenly realized, "Regardless of whether they have it, I should ask anyway!"

Zhou Zheng should be easier to talk to than that old woman Xia Lingyu, if it doesn't work, just offer one more shot, after all, he's already agreed once.

"No, let's go now!"

He said as he stood up to leave.

Just then, a knock on the door came.

Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows, exerted his Spiritual Power, and saw Qi Lin standing outside the door.

"What's he doing here?"

Xuan Er and the others were also puzzled.

"I'll get the door." Ye Yilan quickly walked over; among the three, only he was from Great Xia, so only he could go.

A creak, and the door opened.

"National Preceptor, do you have something to instruct Yilan?"

"I'm looking for Chen Xuan!"

"He's inside, please come in!" He then stepped aside, allowing him to enter the room, and closed the door again.

Chen Xuan was also surprised, why was he looking for him?

Didn't they just meet today?

Wasn't everything said earlier? Could it be Xia Lingyu changed her mind?

"Old Man Qi, what do you want with me?"

Qi Lin didn't speak at first, instead took out a small red bottle from his bosom, and then spoke, "Her Highness instructed to, during the war, have you block two Six Layers of Purity experts from Great Zhou, and this Divine Soul Liquid will be yours!"

"Also, I can clearly tell you that Great Zhou has no Divine Soul Liquid, you needn't ask!"

Xia Lingyu changed her mind for fear he might go over to Great Zhou.

Since Chen Xuan knew she had Divine Soul Liquid, naturally he knew where it came from.

Though she guessed that Great Zhou probably didn't have it,

just in case, she ultimately changed her mind.

"How many people can this bottle suffice?" Chen Xuan wasn't eager to agree, because the red bottle looked too small, just about two fingers wide, way too little.

"Enough for one person, as for the effect, I can't say, it varies from person to person!"

"What? It's not even guaranteed to work?"

Chen Xuan immediately became dissatisfied, since it's a transaction, it should be fair, he couldn't agree to the conditions, and yet find it ineffective upon use.

Wouldn't he be at a great loss!

"Uh.... The Divine Soul Liquid isn't guaranteed to be effective, that's indeed the case, but the vast majority find it effective after consuming, with only a small portion not experiencing effects!"

Ye Yilan, knowing to be trusted, began explaining for him at this point.

"Is that so..."

Chen Xuan muttered to himself.

But there's no other way, that's how it is, leave it to fate.

"Alright, two times it is!"

As he agreed, Qi Lin didn't say much, directly tossing the small red bottle to him.

"Hope you keep your promise!"

The old eyes gave him a warning look.

"Rest assured! My integrity is trustworthy!" Chen Xuan deliberately pounded his chest heavily!

"Good!"
