134: Leave money to buy life

“You lost. Is there anything else you want to say?”

Xiao Qianyu pinned Chu Chen under her foot, her sword pointed at his brow. At this moment, Xiao Qianyu seemed to have reverted to the image she had of herself.

Ever since she took over Xiao Qianyu's body, she had been living in fear.

Chu Chen had always been a long-standing nightmare for her, but now, she had finally dispelled the nightmare before her.

“I lost…”

Chu Chen spoke with great difficulty and resentment.

This was normal, after all, how could a dignified Destined Protagonist be submissive when trampled underfoot by a woman?

“Ding! Detected that the Destined Protagonist Chu Chen has broken through to cellular dissociation, his Luck Value has decreased by 50,000! Rewarding Villain Value 500,000!”

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully changing a major plot, rewarding Villain Value 1,000,000!”

“Ding! The Host has become one of the Destined Protagonist’s nightmares, rewarding Villain Value 200,000!”

“Ding! The Destined Protagonist and the Destined Female Lead have completely severed ties, rewarding Villain Value 500,000!”

“What a huge harvest! What a huge harvest!”

Upon hearing the System prompts, Su Xuan couldn’t stop smiling. This wave of rewards basically offset his recent expenditures on Xiao Qianyu.

“He truly lives up to his name as the Destined Protagonist; even after being suppressed for so long, he still has 50,000 Villain Value!”

Su Xuan was a little surprised. He had thought he was almost ready to harvest, but he didn't expect Chu Chen to be so resilient.

“As per our agreement, you must kowtow to me three times, and our engagement is also void!”

“However, if I’m not mistaken, we are currently in a life-and-death battle, so it’s perfectly fine for me to kill you!”

Xiao Qianyu’s words filled Chu Chen with dread. He had thought that admitting defeat would be enough, but he never expected Xiao Qianyu would actually try to kill him?

“Family Head, save me! She’s going to kill me!”

Chu Chen shouted.

Just as Xiao Qianyu’s long sword was about to pierce Chu Chen’s throat, a figure suddenly flashed in front of Chu Chen.

It was the Family Head of Chu family!

“How dare you! One should be lenient when possible! My Chen’er has already lost, yet you still intend to strike with such viciousness!”

After saying this, the Family Head of Chu family raised his hand and struck Xiao Qianyu with a palm.

Given Xiao Qianyu's strength, if she were to take this blow, she would undoubtedly die.

However, the next second, the Family Head of Chu family, having been attacked by something unknown, immediately spat out a mouthful of old blood and retreated several meters.

Looking again, the Tianwu Holy Lord was seen standing in front of Xiao Qianyu, having appeared at some unknown time.

Not only did he block the attack for her, but he also repelled the Family Head of Chu family by several meters, making it clear who was stronger.

“Tianwu Holy Lord! Xiao Qianyu is trying to kill Chu Chen. I was merely defending Chu Chen, which is self-defense. Is it not inappropriate for you to interfere?”

“Moreover, Xiao Qianyu is not a member of your Tianwu Holy Land, yet you are still protecting her!”

Despite having been humiliated in the recent confrontation, the Family Head of Chu family remained verbally defiant.

“What nonsense self-defense! Xiao Qianyu and Chu Chen agreed to a life-and-death battle, both parties consented to this!”

“As a Family Head, you actively interfered. Just for that, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration for all of us present to gang up on you! What right do you have to be shouting here?”

“Besides, who said Xiao Qianyu isn’t a member of our Holy Land? From today onwards, I officially admit her into Lingyun Peak, to become Peak Lord Tang Mei’s Disciple! Xiao Qianyu, do you have any objections?”

The Holy Lord looked at Xiao Qianyu and smiled.

He knew that Xiao Qianyu was Su Xuan’s woman, and although she hadn’t joined the Tianwu Holy Land, he definitely had to protect her with all his might.

Xiao Qianyu was overjoyed upon hearing this.

“Disciple Xiao Qianyu, greets the Holy Lord!”

Xiao Qianyu bowed slightly in salute.

“Peak Lord Tang, is it alright for Qianyu to be your Disciple?”

The Holy Lord then looked at Tang Mei.

“No problem. It is truly our Lingyun Peak’s fortune to have a Genius like Qianyu join us!”

“Unlike some people, who are stubborn and, in the end, still rely on their elders to clean up their messes!”

While accepting Xiao Qianyu, Tang Mei did not forget to mock Chu Chen.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Chu family members immediately turned ashen, especially Chu Chen, who almost spat blood from anger upon hearing Tang Mei's words.

“In that case, from today onwards, you are a member of our Tianwu Holy Land. This is your Disciple token!”

“As long as your token remains, you will forever be protected by the Tianwu Holy Land!”

The Holy Lord handed a token to Xiao Qianyu.

“Now that Xiao Qianyu has joined our Tianwu Holy Land, you have no objection to me, as the Holy Lord, protecting her, do you?”

The Family Head of Chu family was choked into silence. Although he harbored immense anger in his heart, he could only suppress it.

He glanced at Chu Chen, his face filled with the disappointment of seeing iron that couldn't be forged into steel.

Chu Chen’s performance today had truly disappointed him. After returning, he would have to consider whether Chu Chen was still worthy of the Young Master position.

“No objection! Since Xiao Qianyu is a member of your Holy Land, you naturally have reason to intervene!”

After saying this, the Family Head of Chu family was about to leave with Chu Chen.

“Wait, who said you could leave?”

The Holy Lord spoke again.

“What? Do you Tianwu Holy Land really want to go to war with our Chu family? Do you truly believe your Tianwu Holy Land is invincible?”

The Family Head of Chu family was furious when the Holy Lord stopped him.

Although he couldn't defeat the Holy Lord, it wouldn't be easy for the other party to defeat him with his strength.

“Always talking about fighting and killing, we’re not some martial artists!”

“You’re a Great Emperor, after all, and you didn’t achieve enlightenment through killing, so why are you so aggressive?”

“Your Young Master Chu Chen and my Holy Land Disciple Xiao Qianyu agreed to a life-and-death battle. If you just take Chu Chen away like this, I’m afraid that’s a bit unreasonable, isn't it?”

The Holy Lord sneered.

“Speak… What do you want?”

The Family Head of Chu family also knew he was in the wrong. The people from Tianwu Holy Land wouldn't let him off easily today without taking a pound of flesh.

“Triple the previous conditions!”

The Holy Lord said calmly.

“Are you insane?”

The Family Head of Chu family laughed in anger. Previously, they had agreed that no matter who won, they would give the other party three High Grade ore veins (which could yield High-Grade Spirit Stones and supreme-grade spirit stones) and also a Saint Weapon. However, the Tianwu Holy Lord actually wanted to triple these conditions, which would mean giving them nine more High Grade ore veins and three more Saint Weapons?
