Chapter 420 The Young Master's Heart
The whole process happened in the blink of an eye. Huali stood still for a second, holding the meat, before taking off after him.
"Sister, no, General! I can't cook either!!"
The two walked one after the other towards the sparsely populated alley.
By the time Huali chased him into the narrow, dark alley, the woman had already blocked his way and coldly demanded, "Hand it over!"
Instead of panicking, the thief stopped, turned around, and revealed a strange smile.
"Whoosh—"
Almost simultaneously, chaotic footsteps suddenly came from the front and back exits of the alley, and figures wielding sharp weapons and with fierce eyes kept jumping out of the makeshift teleportation array.
They blocked all the paths for both Huali and the woman.
"You two ignorant little wench, you like to meddle in other people's business, huh? You're just unlucky to have run into me today!"
"If you know what's good for you, hand over all the spirit stones you have!"
The elderly man on the subway in Huali looked at his phone: "...?"
Wait... is this guy serious? The cultivation world is using spiritual power, and we're still using cold weapons?
"Hand over the goods and we might spare your lives out of mercy. If you don't... well, you'll be in for a world of hurt!"
Huali was too lazy to pay them any attention.
The woman beside her didn't take these people seriously at all. With a flash of spiritual energy in her hand to ensure they couldn't escape, she turned her head and asked, "I gave you the meat, why did you bring it back to me?"
Huali confessed honestly, "I came to find someone, and I have nowhere to cook. Giving it to me would be a waste."
"That's true." The woman nodded and took it back. "Who are you looking for? I know this place well, I'll ask around for you in a bit."
Although this woman was decisive and straightforward, she was new to the area and her identity was unknown, so she couldn't reveal any specific information. She only vaguely said, "Thank you, sister. It's just... my husband... he was a little upset with me..."
Karin thought that with this convenient excuse, the matter would be over.
I never expected this!
The woman's eyes lit up instantly!
"You're like that too?! Let me tell you, my husband is the same way!"
"He's incredibly petty. He gets jealous at the slightest thing. I can see him getting jealous over the butcher on the street. He keeps saying I don't love him and that I don't cherish him after I've won him over. He's so difficult to deal with."
Karin's attention was instantly diverted. "Sister, you're so beautiful, do you really need to actively pursue someone?"
“My name is Yin Nan.” The woman laughed heartily. “I don’t know either. I feel like I didn’t pursue him, but he insists that when I smiled at him, I was deliberately seducing him.”
Karin: "...Huh?"
"I told you, you're all about to die, and you still dare to talk so much!" The "gang leader," who had been ignored for a while, felt his dignity had been challenged and sneered, "You won't listen to reason! I'll send you to meet the King of Hell right now!"
Yin Nan gently cracked her knuckles and instructed Hua Li, "Find a clean place to stand for a while. I'll finish the fight within sixty counts."
Huali was stunned. This woman is so cool.
Suddenly, Pear King's long-dormant passion was ignited, and images of Jackie Chan's martial arts films immediately popped into his mind.
She hopped around in place, stretched her neck, and followed closely behind Yin Nan as he rushed out.
"Count me in, and we'll finish the fight within thirty."

In the General's Mansion, within its imposing courtyard, spears and swords lay scattered about. Beside the stone table, Shen Yu, finally unable to resist his brother's urging, sat quietly.
The young general stood tall, like an unyielding spear, his eyes slightly lowered, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the communication stone.
After confirming for the twenty-seventh time that he hadn't received the message he wanted to see, the low pressure around him was already enough to make rain.
After a moment of silence, the young master finally couldn't hold back and prepared to get up. But Shen Ming, who was beside him, pressed down on his shoulder with his spiritual power.
Shen Ming bears a striking resemblance to Shen Yu, with equally handsome features. He is currently dressed in dark casual clothes, the collar slightly open, revealing his strong chest and faint scars.
This same fierce general, who struck fear into the hearts of his enemies, was now patiently peeling a plate of glistening grapes, his movements practiced and clearly a habit.
"Where are you going? Not only are you hiding in the military camp sulking, but since no one comes to find you, you're going to go back here all the way?"
"Promising."
Shen Yu pursed her lips tightly. "I'm not angry with Hua Li, I'm angry with myself. If my cultivation were a little higher, I wouldn't have to be a step behind others in everything."
Shen Ming carefully placed the peeled fruit into the dish, his voice neither warm nor cold, "Then I'll have to call you brother. You're not even a hundred years old and you're already at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and you're still not satisfied? Do you want to drive me crazy?"
"Besides, what's the use of you getting angry? Once a man in our Shen family sets his sights on someone, it's like a wolf eyeing meat—we'll never let go, no matter what! My parents and I told you long ago that we should go and present the betrothal gifts first, but you wouldn't allow it, saying you wanted to 'take it seriously.' Now, before we've even brought him back, those four people have already beaten us to it."
These words were like a needle, piercing precisely into Shen Yu's heart.
The young general looked up abruptly, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face, but he still met his brother's gaze, his eyes filled with the complex emotions unique to youth, a mixture of love and inferiority:
“Brother...you don’t understand. Huali...deserves the most formal and thorough courtesy in the world. I don’t want her to think...this matter is frivolous.”
"My original plan was to first hunt the Snow Wolf King as a prize, then use the latest batch of spirit stone ore to forge a unique phoenix crown, and also have Father personally write the marriage certificate, and of course..."
"Stop, stop, stop." Shen Ming raised his hand to interrupt him, feeling both annoyed and amused.
"We've only just started the betrothal ceremony, and you've already planned the wedding banquet? What? Have you chosen names for the children yet?"
Shen Yu's ears turned slightly red, but not wanting to be seen as embarrassed, she reached for the grapes that Shen Ming had just peeled.
"Smack!"
Before his hand could even touch her, his brother slapped him away without any politeness.
Shen Yu: "?"
"Hey! What are you doing? This is for your sister-in-law! She'll need fresh food when she gets back. If you want some, peel it yourself."
Shen Yu: "......"
"Also, Ayu, there's something I need to make a serious statement about."
Shen Ming pointed at the grapes, then at himself, "It's not just your rosewood that deserves the best in the world. My Nannan is the best woman in the world."
Shen Yu: "...Childish."
"...Of course, rosewood is the best."
