Chapter 1261: To Agree to Be Put Under House Arrest
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Destroy your cultivation!
Yin Shaohua was very arrogant, treating Fang Zi’er like a n.o.body.
There was a Chinese proverb that said, those who hindered the path to money was no different from killing their own parents.
If a person’s cultivation was destroyed, it was not just blocking one’s path to money, but the person would lose all power, status and legitimacy.
A cultivator would have been p.i.s.sed to hear this, but Fang Zi’er did nothing.
Not that he was not unhappy because he was weaker than Yin Shaohua but anything he said would just fall flat to the ground anyhow.
He would die an ugly death if he provoked Yin Shaohua.
In this pragmatic world, strength had ruled since the ancient times. Strong men were crowned king, and the weak bullied.
Fang Zi’er looked to Chen Xiaobei to defend him. But Chen Xiaobei’s gaze was fixed on the woman next to Yin Shaohua.
She was beautiful with dark, silken hair and pale skin. Fluttering gracefully in the wind, a white wide-sleeved cheongsam adorned her tall and curvaceous frame. She looked exactly like the G.o.ddesses in Wuxia movies.
Though a scarf hid her face, even a blind man could tell that this was the woman whose beauty put flowers to shame!
“It really is her.” Chen Xiaobei’s demeanor softened.
She was indeed the Liu Xuanxin that he nicknamed Lucky G.o.ddess.
Although there was nothing remotely romantic between them, she had always given great succor to Chen Xiaobei whenever they met.
That was why Chen Xiaobei liked her.
“Hmm… Why are you wearing a scarf around your face?”
Yin Shaohua looked at the woman with furrowed brows.
“It’s nothing.” Liu Xuanxin was not a very good liar, and there was the slightest hint of hesitance in her eyes.
“You two know each other?” Yin Shaohua was no fool. He had never seen Liu Xuanxin wear a scarf until she met Chen Xiaobei and Fang Zi’er.
Also, Chen Xiaobei kept looking at Liu Xuanxin, not in an amorous way, but with a certain geniality; the way friends look at each other.
Yin Shaohua’s guess was right.
“Yes. Yes, we do.”
Liu Xuanxin nodded timidly.
Chen Xiaobei was even more certain now that Liu Xuanxin had stayed with Yin Shaohua because of some kind of trouble.
She was not a goodie-two-shoes with no mind of her own, but a sword wielding Jianghu fighter who would not hesitate to kill.
This timidity was very unlike her.
“Do you know each other very well?” Yin Shaohua asked.
“Not really. We’ve only met a few times,” Liu Xuanxin replied.
“Great! Then this should be easy!”
Yin Shaohua smiled hypocritically.
“I hope you won’t make things difficult for them!”
“Oh? I thought you are not very close? Why so protective of them, then?”
The look on Yin Shaohua’s face was unkind.
“Since we are acquaintances, and I’ve already agreed to stay here, can’t you just grant me this one thing?”
There was a look of uneasiness in her eyes.
“Alright! Since you’ve never really asked anything of me, I will grant you this request!” Yin Shaohua grinned, and then turned his attention to Chen Xiaobei and Fang Zi’er. “It’s your f*cking lucky day! You have three seconds to get out of my sight!”
“Let’s go!” Fang Zi’er turned around faster than you could say Jack Robinson.
“If you want to leave, go! I am not leaving!” Chen Xiaobei said in a gla.s.sy manner; his puppy-eyes still fixed on Liu Xuanxin.
Fang Zi’er could not care less for Chen Xiaobei. They were strangers anyway. He was definitely not worth dying for. From Fang Zi’er’s point of view, Chen Xiaobei was playing with fire!
And sure enough, Chen Xiaobei’s response galled Yin Shaohua.
“I gave you a chance but you threw it away!”
Yin Shaohua made a sudden attack on Chen Xiaobei.
Fooooo! Huuuuua!
Yin Shaohua raised his hand, and ama.s.sed a frigid Wind True Kang, exerting 90,000 combat power at full force.
The air began to stir, and the gathered momentum until it formed a giant tornado!
Boom! Boom!
The giant tornado touched the ground and spun violently towards Fang Zi-er’s yacht!
Reinforced by Celestial power, the tornado looked like wind but was actually made up of True Kang, as strong as iron and as sharp as the blade on a sword!
Swallowed by the vicious gyration, Fang Zi’er’s once luxurious yacht was crushed into tiny pieces of debris that sank into the depths of the ocean.
What the h.e.l.l is this? He doesn’t want to leave but I do!” Fang Zi’er was on the verge of tearing up.
His combat power was 10,000 short of Yin Shaohua’s power. He would not be getting out alive.
Liu Xuanxin spoke up, “Master Hua! Please have mercy! Please let them go, I beg you!”
“I had already given them a chance to live! They are the ones who refused my kindness!” Yin Shaohua said coldly.
“Please give them one more chance!” Liu Xuanxin begged then in a softer voice she said, “I will consider your request.”
“Really?”
Yin Shaohua perked up.
“Of course,” Liu Xuanxin replied dispiritedly. “I can’t leave this place. Lying to you will only bring me more harm than good.”
“Alright! Then I’ll make an exception this time!” Yin Shaohua smiled. “I can spare their lives but they must be confined here on this island. When we’ve finished our business, then I will let them go! But if they refuse to cooperate, I won’t hesitate to kill them!”
“Alright. I’ll talk to them.” Liu Xuanxin composed herself. “Mr. Chen! I don’t care why you came here. I have my own predicament but I hope you won’t persist defiantly and cause grievances to others and yourself!”
Liu Xuanxin emphasized the words ’cause grievances to others and yourself’.
Fang Zi’er nodded.
“Yeah! Mr. Chen! If you want to die, don’t bring me down with you!”
Chen Xiaobei looked at Liu Xuanxin. When she said ‘others’, she did not just mean Fang Zi’er, but she also meant other people!
She was saying that if Chen Xiaobei did as he pleased and provoked Yin Shaohua, other people would be harmed in the process!
“Alright! I accept confinement!”
Chen Xiaobei knew very little about the problem at hand. It would not end well if he acted on it blindly. It was better to comply for the time being, to understand the situation better before doing anything.
“Heh, now you know my measures! Hehe, being a lamb and admitting defeat will only benefit you!”
Yin Shaohua chuckled, thinking that his attack had frightened Chen Xiaobei.
Little did he know know that a storm was brewing and it was heading for Penglai Faction!
