Shock!
Meng Xiaohun was horrified and quickly dodged, but he was still struck by the powerful force and fell to the ground. His back was severely injured, and flesh and blood mangled.
Enduring the pain, he quickly shouted before Huangfu Yuchen attacked again, “The Zhantian Vine is in his hands. Don’t you all want it?”
The three Black Tiger Elders exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with fanaticism. Luo Fang’s sudden incredible martial arts must be credited to the Zhantian Vine! Let’s give it a try!
Without exchanging words, the three of them rushed towards Huangfu Yuchen.
Huangfu Yuchen sneered, extending his right hand and wielding his sword. After a cold light flashed through the air, the figures of the three Black Tiger Elders paused midway.
Ah!
Everyone gasped in horror, looking at the identical marks on the chests of the three elders. This was not caused by one sword, but by three. In the blink of an eye, Luo Fang unleashed three strikes. Just how high was his martial arts?
Elder Black Tiger and the others looked down in disbelief. They opened their mouths, but couldn’t say anything, and fell to the ground, lifeless. The vivid red blood quickly stained the green grass crimson.
“Protect your Master!” Meng Xiaohun’s face sank. At his shout, the subordinates hiding in the crowd all rushed toward Huangfu Yuchen.
Meanwhile, Meng Xiaohun’s lips moved rapidly, and at the same time, the crowd was amazed to find that the wound on his back was slowly healing.
———-
Elder Yin Yingzung supported Yan Ge with one hand while lifting the other. Two people flew out and crashed into a tree, their fate unknown.
Yin Sha’s stagnant eyes slightly turned, and he flew out, extinguishing three people with just one sword.
“You!” Meng Xiaohun stared at him with anger.
Yin Sha calmly said, “Until Young Master Luo explains to me, no one can act.”
Zhong Xie also drew his sword and killed one person, taking the initiative to explain, “Compared to you, I find Luo Fang more pleasing.”
Huangfu Yuchen was focused solely on killing Meng Xiaohun. His arms moved and he condensed true qi into dual swords, like a thunderbolt, he flew towards Meng Xiaohun and both swords struck simultaneously.
Meng Xiaohun:s arms were severed by Huangfu Yuchen, and he let out a miserable scream!
“You!” Meng Xiaohun was furious, and he spat out a silver needle straight at Huangfu Yuchen.
At such close proximity, it was difficult for Huangfu Yuchen to dodge the hidden weapon. In a critical moment, a thick “giant caterpillar” as thick as an arm pierced between them, and the silver needle pierced into the body of the Zhantian Vine. The tail of the Zhantian Vine swept heavily across Meng Xiaohun’s face.
A charred mark appeared on Meng Xiaohun’s face, and he let out a sharp, prolonged howl before suddenly transforming into a black mist and escaping hastily.
Huangfu Yuchen had the scene of Yan Ge spitting blood circling in his mind. He pursued with bloodshot eyes but was entangled.
The Zhantian Vine had wrapped itself around him.
“Release!” Huangfu Yuchen coldly warned.
“Young Master Luo, Madam Luo has awakened,” Elder Yingzun’s words echoed in the air.
Huangfu Yuchen’s heart trembled, and only then did he regain his composure. He leaped to Elder Yingzun’s side, tremblingly embracing Yan Ge in his arms. “Baby, are you alright?”
“Zirui, I’m fine,” Yan Ge held his hand, his expression inexplicable, and his tone strange. “Nothing happened at all.”
“Really?” Huangfu Yuchen scanned him up and down anxiously. “You were spitting blood and fainted just now.” He used his thumb to wipe away the bloodstain at the corner of Yan Ge’s mouth.
Yan Ge extended his hand, signaling him to check his pulse. “I’m really fine now.”
After Huangfu Yuchen checked his pulse, he finally relaxed. He hugged Yan Ge tightly and kissed him several times. “It’s good that you’re fine, it’s good…”
The others averted their eyes with embarrassment. It wasn’t uncommon for men to be married, but to be so intimate in front of everyone was truly rare.
Yan Ge tightened the grip on his hand. “And you? Are you injured?”
Huangfu Yuchen smirked, his gaze soothing and satisfied. “I’m not.”
“We should go back soon,” Yan Ge had a pressing question that needed to be resolved.
Huangfu Yuchen nodded, took a few steps forward, and turned to look at the others.
Almost everyone couldn’t help but take a step back.
Huangfu Yuchen said, “I believe none of you are still thinking of taking the Zhantian Vine with you.”
No one uttered a word. After witnessing his martial arts, who would dare to confront him?
Huangfu Yuchen then looked at Yin Sha. “Thank you, Master Yin, for your help earlier. I will give you an explanation for the incident of disrupting the Moon Worship ceremony. However, not now. One month from now, meet me at the Liuxian Pavilion in the capital.”
Yin Sha nodded silently, and without saying a word, turned to leave with Mingyue.
Huangfu Yuchen also expressed his gratitude to Zhong Xie and gave him a golden card for Liuxian Pavilion. Finally, he approached Elder Yingzun, “Thank you, Elder Yingzun, for your assistance. However, I am curious, why did you help us?”
Elder Yingzun smiled lightly, calmly walked away, and recited, “Tides rise on the first day of the month, feathers of geese soar high. Despite various sounds that may arise, they fall on deaf ears.”
Yan Ge and Huangfu Yuchen exchanged a glance, astonishment evident in their eyes. This was another puzzle.
“Tides rise on the first day of the month, feathers of geese soar high” referred to the character “Han,” and “fall on deaf ears” referred to “long” without the “ear.” Elder Ying had already seen through Huangfu Yuchen’s identity, which was why he had assisted them several times.
They looked again, but Elder Yingzun had already vanished without a trace.
On the way back to the inn, Huangfu Yuchen explained to Yan Ge what had happened with Meng Xiaohun. Yan Ge seemed lost in thought.
When they reached the elegant courtyard of the inn, Yan Jin had already awakened. Jiang Gan, Zhang Taiyi, and a few others were trying to cheer him up. However, Yan Jin seemed distracted, glancing towards the entrance from time to time. When he saw Yan Ge, his eyes lit up. He jumped off the chair and ran over.
“Papa.”
Yan Ge walked over and held his hand. “Yan Jin, come inside with us.”
“Young Master, is something wrong with Madam?” Deng Mandi noticed the bloodstains on Yan Ge’s clothes and was greatly surprised, asking with concern.
Huangfu Yuchen waved his hand, indicating that he would explain later. He entered the room with Yan Ge and Yan Jin, closing the door behind them.
“Yan Jin, did you wake up about an incense stick ago?” Huangfu Yuchen asked.
Yan Jin nodded, glanced at him, and then looked at Yan Ge. “Papa, I have something important to tell you.”
Huangfu Yuchen knew that both Yan Ge and Yan Jin probably had some conclusions, so he didn’t ask much. “I’ll go and have them prepare food.” He closed the door as he left.
“Yan Jin, I encountered a man just now, and I felt extremely uncomfortable being near him, as if I was about to die. But as soon as he left, I immediately recovered, as if the discomfort I felt earlier was just an illusion. And you, you recovered almost at the same time as me. Do you know what this is about?”
Yan Jin patted his hand and sat down dejectedly on the chair. He sighed and said, “Master, it’s my fault. I was too presumptuous.”
“Your fault? Why?” Yan Ge was astonished. “What exactly happened?”
Yan Jin said, “Us systems, like humans, have similar laws and regulations. One space is not allowed to have two systems. I always thought that this space only had my system, but clearly, that’s not the case. There is another system present, and its current level is higher than mine, which is why it can restrain me. It’s my fault for forgetting that you crossed over and aren’t truly considered a person from this space. That’s why this space coincidentally spawned another system.”
“What?!” Yan Ge stood up in shock, wide-eyed. “Another system? Is it also the Male Consort Upgrade System?”
“No!” Yan Jin said, “And even if there was another Male Consort Upgrade System, it wouldn’t be in our Great Han Empire. Otherwise, we would have definitely noticed it earlier. So, I can be sure that this system is not the Male Consort Upgrade System but another type of system.”
Yan Ge felt slightly relieved but worried about another matter. “Are these two systems inherently incompatible?”
Yan Jin explained, “Because a space can only have one system, conflict is inevitable once a certain range is entered.”
“What should we do then?” Yan Ge frowned. “If we want to eliminate his suppression, we have to kill him. But we don’t even know where his lair is, and it’s not something we can do immediately. What if he approaches us again? Won’t it affect us?”
Yan Jin said, “You just need to level up immediately. Moreover, this kind of discomforting suppression won’t last long. When both your strength and his reach the upper-middle level, this suppression will completely disappear. It’s one of the characteristics and advantages of the system. By that time, unless he wants to oppose you personally, his system won’t have any impact on you and me.”
Yan Ge finally felt at ease. “I see.”
“Master, I’m sorry. I overlooked it earlier,” Yan Jin apologized.
“It’s not your fault.” Yan Ge patted his head gently. “If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that I crossed over.”
The two of them had a deep bond, and once they talked it out, they smiled at each other, feeling relieved.
“Let me call your father in. I don’t know if he’s really uninjured,” Yan Ge said to Yan Jin and then transmitted his voice to Huangfu Yuchen. “Yuchen, come in.”
“Coming.” Huangfu Yuchen appeared quickly. “What’s the situation?”
“We have found a solution,” Yan Ge looked at the bandaged half of his arm and squinted. “Hmm?”
Huangfu Yuchen forced a smile. “Just a minor injury.”
“Oh, come here. Let me bandage it for you.” Yan Ge smiled mischievously.
Huangfu Yuchen felt flustered under Yan Ge’s smiling gaze but approached cautiously. “Baby…”
Yan Ge pressed on his wound forcefully with his hand, innocently looking at him. “It’s just a minor injury. It definitely doesn’t hurt.”
Huangfu Yuchen looked at the cloth that had turned red again and smiled wryly. “It hurts a little…” From now on, he would never dare to hide anything from his beloved again!
Yan Jin chuckled mischievously.
Shock!
Meng Xiaohun was horrified and quickly dodged, but he was still struck by the powerful force and fell to the ground. His back was severely injured, and flesh and blood mangled.
Enduring the pain, he quickly shouted before Huangfu Yuchen attacked again, “The Zhantian Vine is in his hands. Don’t you all want it?”
