Chapter 107 I'll Do Anything You Want

"Great Hero Yan, please forgive me. This young woman has absolutely no intention of harming you."

Yan Chu's state of mind had originally been peaceful, but now, it seemed as if flames were flickering up again.

He shook his head and laughed, "Do you think you could actually harm me?"

"If you didn't have this intention, you would have already become a beautiful corpse by now!"

Even if she were a woman on the beauties ranking list, if she wanted to harm him, he would not show the slightest mercy.

Shen Zuirong smoothed back the hair on her forehead and smiled, saying:

"This young woman certainly knows that, but Great Hero Yan took my sword manual and left without saying a word. Isn't that a bit improper?"

"If this were to spread, I'm afraid it wouldn't be very good for your reputation, Great Hero!"

"Oh, you're talking about this?"

Yan Chu seemed to suddenly remember. He took a thin sheet of paper from his sleeve and threw it to Shen Zuirong, saying: "I'm returning it to you now!"

In any case, he had already memorized the entire contents of the Cultivation Technique.

If he didn't Cultivate it himself, he could bestow it upon his subordinates.

Shen Zuirong's charming smile froze on her pure and flawless face.

You've had this Cultivation Technique for so many days; you must have already devoured it completely, right?

Returning it to me now, after getting it for free?

She gritted her teeth in secret, but her smile remained unchanged as she said:

"Great Hero Yan, I hadn't finished what I was saying last time. Could you listen to me say it again now?"

Since he had nothing better to do, Yan Chu leaned back on the couch and nodded, "Go ahead and speak!"

"Alright!"

Shen Zuirong took a deep breath and said: "This young woman has a few things to offer you!"

"The Three Lights Water-Parting Sword Manual is one!"

"And there's this!"

She raised her fair hand, and in her palm was an object the size of a fingertip. She introduced it: "This is a wuwei lotus seed!"

"The wuwei lotus seed is a supreme treasure of the Holy Lotus Sect. There are only nine in the entire sect, and this is one of them!"

"Wearing it on your person can calm your heart and mind, eliminate Heart Demons, and increase your speed of Cultivating Internal Skill. It is effective even for experts in the Mountain Shaking Realm!"

Yan Chu raised an eyebrow and beckoned with his hand; the lotus seed flew into his palm.

Gripping the lotus seed, a cool sensation surged in, indeed making his state of mind clear and bright, and the speed at which he absorbed the Origin Qi of heaven and earth increased slightly.

It was indeed a rare treasure.

Yan Chu nodded, "Continue!"

Shen Zuirong smiled, pursing her lips, and took out a jade pendant from her sleeve.

Her slender fingers stroked the jade pendant, and her eyes revealed a trace of sadness and nostalgia as she said:

"This jade pendant is called the Changhu Jade Pendant, and it is my family's heirloom treasure."

"This jade pendant was once consecrated by a high monk from the Hanging Temple. It can increase the wearer's Luck, granting them longevity and good fortune!"

"Increase Luck? Really?"

Yan Chu was a bit skeptical.

After taking the jade pendant, it felt warm and smooth to the touch, and it even carried a faint bodily fragrance, clearly having been carried by Shen Zuirong at all times.

Shen Zuirong said earnestly: "Of course it's true!"

"My Shen Family was annihilated by the Marquis of Annan's Estate. Originally, it would have been absolutely impossible for me to escape, but because I was wearing the Changhu Jade Pendant, my Luck was consistently good, and I ultimately escaped with my life!"

"So, why was your Shen Family wiped out by the Marquis of Annan's Estate?"

Yan Chu was a little curious.

Ever since he had met Shen Zuirong before, he had investigated her background.

Only then did he discover that Shen Zuirong actually came from the Shen Family, one of the Five Surnames and Three Sects of Cangzhou Prefecture!

However, a few months ago, the Shen Family was suddenly annihilated.

The Marquis of Annan's Estate announced to the outside world that the Shen Family intended to rebel, and the entire family was executed, with only the family head's daughter, Shen Zuirong, escaping with her life, her whereabouts unknown.

After all, as a top power in Cangzhou Prefecture, its sudden collapse overnight left people in the Jianghu sighing endlessly, and there were many secret speculations.

Some said the Shen Family held leverage over the Marquis of Annan, Sima Yutang; some said the Shen Family was colluding with the Holy Lotus Sect; and others said it was because of Shen Zuirong...

In short, there were all kinds of theories.

Hearing Yan Chu ask this question, the previously smiling Shen Zuirong's eyes immediately turned red, and teardrops began to fall drip by drip.

Already stunningly beautiful, she was now even more intoxicating and pitiful as tears streaked down her face like rain on pear blossoms.

However, Shen Zuirong quickly adjusted her emotions, wiped the tears from her flushed face, and said with a hint of apology:

"I've made a fool of myself in front of Great Hero Yan!"

"To tell you the truth, the reason the Marquis of Annan's Estate attacked the Shen Family was actually because of me!"

"Sima Tao is nearing his limit. He obtained a Dual Cultivation Technique from somewhere, which supposedly allows him to extend his life by harvesting the essence of virginal women, and the Estate set its sights on me."

"My father and mother naturally disagreed and refused resolutely!"

"I didn't expect the Sima Family to be so deranged as to suddenly attack my Shen Family. If my parents hadn't sent me away in advance, I would have long since..."

Yan Chu listened quietly, his eyes narrowed slightly.

From Shen Zuirong's intermittent account, Yan Chu also learned quite a bit about the Marquis of Annan's Estate.

The Old Marquis, Sima Tao, as the number one person in Cangzhou Prefecture, was now over one hundred and eighty years old and nearing his limit.

As an expert in the Mountain Shaking Realm standing at the Peak of power, his craving for longevity was pathological.

In Cangzhou Prefecture, many women from noble families were forced to be sent to the Estate to be harvested by Sima Tao.

And as a stunning beauty on the beauties ranking list, Shen Zuirong was his primary target. After Shen Zuirong escaped, he wiped out the Shen Family in a fit of rage.

After Shen Zuirong finished speaking, Yan Chu asked again:

"What is your relationship with the Holy Lotus Sect?"

Shen Zuirong's pretty face tightened as she said:

"After I escaped from Cangzhou Prefecture, I accidentally ran into Xu Chuo, the Chief Helmsman of the Holy Lotus Sect in Cangzhou. For some purpose, he brought me into the Holy Lotus Sect and made me Cultivate the Blood Transformation Divine Technique of the Red Lotus Lineage."

"Later, I seized an opportunity to escape, and Xu Chuo has been sending people to hunt me down ever since!"

"So, this wuwei lotus seed was also obtained at that time?"

Shen Zuirong nodded slightly, "That's right!"

"In order to increase my speed of Cultivating the Blood Transformation Divine Technique, Xu Chuo specifically gave me the wuwei lotus seed, but I took it away!"

"This is also one of the reasons why he must find me."

Yan Chu nodded, "Do you have anything else to give me?"

Shen Zuirong was startled and shook her head, "No more!"

"Heh!"

"These things are not enough to make me kill an expert in the Mountain Shaking Realm. Even if Sima Tao is old and frail, I couldn't possibly be his match!"

Shen Zuirong said hurriedly:

"I never thought of asking Great Hero Yan to kill him now!"

"As a Reincarnation of a Celestial Being, I'm sure you will soon recover your cultivation from your previous life. You can avenge me then. As long as you can kill that old thief, I will do anything!"

"Anything at all?"

Yan Chu's expression was somewhere between a smile and a smirk.

Shen Zuirong hesitated for a moment on her beautiful face, then nodded heavily, "Yes!"

"Very good!"

Since that was the case, Yan Chu would not be polite!

He beckoned with his hand, and Shen Zuirong let out a soft cry of "Ah," involuntarily falling into Yan Chu's arms. Her hair brushed against his face, and a delicate fragrance entered his nose.

Her pair of peach-blossom eyes, shimmering like autumn water, stared fixedly at Yan Chu, who was inches away, filled with panic and shyness.

"Great... Hero... Yan..."

Yan Chu smirked, "What was the name of that Disguise Art you used just now? It almost fooled even me!"

"It's called the Thousand Illusions Disguise Art. If you want it, I can give it to you too!"

"No need!"

"Let's play a different game. Just make sure you don't scream too loudly later!"

Awoo!

The Fierce Tiger King in the room shook its head at this moment and let out an ill-timed roar.

"Stupid tiger, get out!"
