74: Chapter 74 The Assassination Attempt from Shangguan Yu'er
Outside the Qin Family villa stood a parasol tree. On its branches perched an oriole with vibrant feathers, its slender neck tilted back as it sang loudly.
The sound of its chirping shook loose a bright green leaf, which landed on top of Chen Yuan's head.
Chen Yuan plucked the leaf and straightened his collar.
He tried hard to take deep breaths to calm his emotions, squeezing out the gentlest smile he could muster.
The smile carried a bitterness that was hard to hide.
After descending the mountain, he had thought that with his skills, the world was his oyster.
He expected to live a carefree life, drunk in the lap of beauties and waking to wield power over the world.
Who would have thought that whether it was Yunhai City's number one beauty Jiang Yingxue, or his childhood sweetheart Lin Xiaojin, both would feel disgust towards him.
He could no longer get close to them.
Now, he could only set his sights on Senior Sister Qin Huanhuan.
Qin Huanhuan's appearance was not inferior to Jiang Yingxue or Lin Xiaojin.
More importantly, Senior Sister Huanhuan was a martial artist, and they had several years of bond as fellow disciples on the mountain.
Before, he had been blinded by the delicate flowers at the foot of the mountain.
Now looking back, he realized that Senior Sister Huanhuan was truly his ideal match.
At least, Qin Ge wouldn't harm this "little sister"!
Without Qin Ge's interference, he only needed to resolve the misunderstanding with Senior Sister Huanhuan.
Such a beautiful maiden, wouldn't she be easy to win over?
This time, he was full of confidence!
Chen Yuan held his head high, walking with a vigorous stride into the Qin Family villa. He arrived at Qin Huanhuan's room on the second floor, knocked on the door, and said softly, "Senior Sister Huanhuan!"
"Get lost!"
From inside the boudoir, Qin Huanhuan's angry rebuke rang out.
It seemed as if she was holding back a surge of stifled anger, and it was just right to release it on Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan, standing outside the door, twitched his mouth unnaturally, but he had no intention of leaving. He said helplessly, "Senior Sister, I came to apologize to you!"
"It was my fault before, and what I said was a bit abrupt."
"But that matter with Qin Zou was truly not something I caused intentionally. I only asked Senior Sister Ruan to teach Qin Ge a lesson for the sake of your Face. Who would have thought that Qin Ge would be so ruthless towards Qin Zou?"
At this moment, Qin Huanhuan had no desire to listen to Chen Yuan's explanation. She scolded him angrily, feeling unbearably ashamed and annoyed, "I told you to get out, mmm~ ri... right now, get out!"
Chen Yuan made a bitter Face and played the emotional card, "Senior Sister Huanhuan, we were fellow disciples, why must it be like this?"
"Back then, Master even said directly that you and I were the best match, wanting to tie the knot of fate for us. I saw that you were focused on Cultivating, so I declined."
"Does Senior Sister not understand your Junior Brother's good intentions?"
Back then, Master did indeed think he and Qin Huanhuan were a good match.
He also liked Qin Huanhuan.
However, he didn't want to give up the whole forest for just one Qin Huanhuan.
Therefore, he declined.
Now, he just wanted to get Qin Huanhuan first.
In his view, he had already taken the initiative, so how could Qin Huanhuan remain indifferent?
At the very least, one shouldn't hit a smiling Face.
She wouldn't continue to drive him away, would she?
Perhaps, he might even have a chance to be invited by Senior Sister Huanhuan into her boudoir, which he had never entered before, for a chat.
"Chen Yuan, mmm~ what nonsense are you spouting!?"
Qin Huanhuan was furious.
Her angry, delicate body trembled.
How could she listen to any confession of true feelings? All she felt was real damage.
She was afraid that if Chen Yuan didn't leave, she would have to Face the ravages of Qin Ge's fury.
Without leaving any room for doubt, she angrily rebuked, "Chen Yuan, if you don't leave within one minute, I will kill you!"
"You can weigh my words, Qin Huanhuan's words, for yourself!"
Chen Yuan, standing outside the door, pricked up his ears, seemingly hearing some unusual movement.
He didn't dare to investigate further.
After all, Qin Huanhuan's temper had always been absolute.
Since he hadn't resolved the misunderstanding this time, he would just come again next time.
Before leaving, Chen Yuan said unwillingly, "Senior Sister Huanhuan, Fifth Senior Sister has invited us to go and assassinate Qin Ge tonight."
"Regardless of whether you go or not, Junior Brother will definitely kill your enemy, Qin Ge, for you!"
Seeing that the time limit was approaching, Chen Yuan left in a hurry.
In the courtyard, he accidentally knocked over an O-Pao drink carried by a gardener. Watching the juice gurgling out, Chen Yuan saw that no one was around and disappeared outside the Qin Family villa without looking back.
...
"Ding! Protagonist of Destiny Qin Huanhuan has developed feelings of shame and anger towards the Host. Rewarding Host with villain points + 746 * 2!"
"..."
"Ding! Protagonist of Destiny Qin Huanhuan continues to develop feelings of shame and anger towards the Host. Rewarding Host with villain points + 746 * 10!"
Phew—
Qin Ge tilted his head back, exhaling a cloud of smoke that was dizzying to behold.
He turned his head and glanced at Qin Huanhuan, who was sitting in a 'duck sit' position behind the door, half of her exquisite Face pressed against the door panel. He teased playfully, "I didn't expect that you and Chen Yuan had such a past life connection!"
"If you were allowed to stay in the Bright Moon Sect for another two years, wouldn't you have eloped with someone outside?"
Qin Huanhuan, with a dazed look in her eyes, felt that her mind was a complete blank.
After a long time, she gasped for air like a fish that had just been landed on shore, greedily inhaling fresh air.
She weakly turned her head to look at Qin Ge, biting her teeth, and said with shame and anger, "That was just Chen Yuan's one-sided story!"
In the Bright Moon Sect, she was focused on Cultivating and had never thought about romance.
Revered Master wanted to match her with Chen Yuan?
How come she knew nothing about it before?
Even if she had known, she would not have agreed!
How did Chen Yuan's nonsense, when it reached Qin Ge, seem to turn into her and Chen Yuan being a match made in heaven?
Seeing Qin Ge's indifferent expression, Qin Huanhuan's cheeks flushed red as she defended her innocence, "I said that I would carry on the family line for the Qin Family, and I will never break my word!"
Her children, in the future, will only have Qin Ge's blood flowing through them.
And they can only be descendants of the Qin Family!
Qin Ge nodded with a smile and casually tossed a small pill, urging, "Considering that you are repaying my kindness, I will also give you a helping hand."
Having had the experience of taking the carefree pill before, Qin Huanhuan did not doubt this pill, which seemed to be able to make her physique purer.
She took the carefree pill and put it into her mouth.
She frowned, looking at Qin Ge, who was leaning against her headboard with a composed expression, and said in a deep voice, "Senior Sister Shangguan is uniting with us martial sisters to kill you together. What should be done?"
Qin Ge had a smile on his lips, looking at Qin Huanhuan, who was as delicate as a flower, looking as if she were drunk, with a blush on her pretty Face. He asked in return, "Are you worried about me?"
Worried?
Qin Huanhuan gritted her teeth hatefully.
"I wish I could tear you into ten thousand pieces right now." After her rage subsided, Qin Huanhuan revealed a helpless, bitter expression, "However, that might cause the Qin Family to have no descendants!"
"Before I have continued the family line for the Qin Family, you cannot die!"
Qin Ge was not angry either, and casually instructed, "Since Shangguan Yuer wants to kill me, just let her bring people."
With the System's reminder.
Was he afraid he couldn't handle it?
If that Beautiful Master came, he wouldn't even think about it; he would temporarily avoid it and wait until he had enough strength to Face her head-on.
But what if that Beautiful Master didn't come?
He could Face them head-on tonight!
"Arrogant!"
Qin Huanhuan rolled her eyes, and in this charming posture, it had a unique flavor.
Qin Ge laughed out loud, "Are you complimenting me?"
Qin Huanhuan followed his gaze, her cheeks turning even redder as she spat, "Shameless!"
