Chapter 164: Dog? You won't suffer any loss if you become my woman, Helian Wen invites you
The box is gorgeous, luxuriously decorated, and surrounded by clouds and mist, it seems like heaven on earth.
Tan Tai Qing's eyes were tightly closed, her beautiful face was covered with frost, and she looked extremely cold. But if you looked closely, you could see that the sleeves of her skirt, which were tightly grasped in her delicate hands, were trembling slightly. It was obvious that she was not as calm as she appeared to be.
She is so proud that she has been the apple of the eye of the Tantai family since she was born. She has a dazzling halo and has never suffered any humiliation or grievance from childhood to adulthood.
Even the powerful and senior ancestors in the family doted on her and thought that she would catch up with their ancestors in the future, become a female saint, and restore the glory of the family.
The only thing that made her feel humiliated was that... her family had formed an alliance with the Helian family, and had arranged a marriage between her and Helian Wen before she was born.
She felt it was a humiliation to her to think that she, the future female saint, the one who looked down upon the world and stood proudly at the top, would become the wife of Helian Wen, who was inferior to her in every way.
But there has never been a day like tonight... making her angry and humiliated to the extreme.
"Jiang Lan..."
"I swear, I will make you pay a heavy price for what you did tonight, and you will regret it." Tan Tai Qing closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling, and her hatred was fully revealed on her beautiful face.
Although she didn't say anything, all her thoughts were revealed on her face.
Jiang Lan gently stroked the soft waist through her dress with an interested smile on his face.
He lowered his head slightly, moved closer to the slender, white neck, and seemed to take a gentle sniff.
Tan Tai Qing felt a wave of heat coming towards him, and his whole body tensed up, with goose bumps visibly forming on his neck.
"Jiang Lan, if you tease me, I will fight you to the death." Her eyes suddenly opened, and she turned her head to look at Jiang Lan coldly.
Seeing that Jiang Lan was just looking at her with a meaningful smile and didn't say anything, she suddenly felt extremely humiliated and struggled to stand up.
"What's the hurry?"
Jiang Lan spoke at this time, and his hands around her waist held her firmly in place like a tight hoop.
"It seems that the rumors are true, but compared to the rumors, you hide it more deeply." Tan Tai Qing stopped struggling and looked at his hand that was moving around wantonly, his eyes cold and said.
Jiang Lan lifted her pointed, white chin with his other hand and said noncommittally, "Judging a person by rumors is always the most foolish thing. I have never said that I am a good person."
Tan Tai Qing sneered and said, "Now you should tell me, who is the backer behind He Lian Wen?"
The person she wants to deal with most at the moment is naturally Helian Wen.
Although the theft of the Three Saints Refining Heart Pill had been concluded, the Helian family still felt that there was something fishy about the matter. Many members of the family were still unwilling to give up and were investigating many clues, believing that Helian Wen would not do such a thing.
If the news that Helian Wen was not dead was known by the Helian family, the truth would be dug out, causing her to be ruined...
Even the Council of Elders would intervene. Even with her grandfather's protection, they would probably clean up the mess themselves for the sake of the reputation of the Saint's family.
"Not now." Jiang Lan shook his head.
Hearing this, Tan Tai Qing finally laughed instead of being extremely angry. A terrifying aura surged from his body, and a glow appeared on his flawless white jade skin. His waist was like a dragon, and he erupted with power as surging as a volcano, intending to fight him.
"I told you not to be anxious. How can you accomplish anything great if you are so anxious about everything?" Jiang Lan seemed to ignore her anger and continued to speak calmly.
As he spoke, a hazy light emanated from his palms, and the shadows of the Four Saints seemed to appear, transforming into a tremendous force that was far more powerful than ten thousand pounds and blessed his physical body.
With his gentle pat, all of Tan Tai Qing's struggles were futile, and the aura emanating from her body dissipated instantly.
"At such a close distance, struggling and resisting are useless." Jiang Lan said casually.
The Four Saints Ancient Heavenly Skills contain many wonderful uses. With the blessing of the power of the Four Saints, the combat power can be increased exponentially.
Originally, his physical strength was much stronger than those of his peers. At such a close distance, let alone the fact that Tan Tai Qing had not yet reached the seventh realm, even a cultivator of the seventh realm would not be able to break free by strength.
"asshole……"
"I will kill you one day."
Tan Tai Qing gritted her teeth, she also noticed it. She thought Jiang Lan only had profound magical powers and unpredictable methods, but she didn't expect that his physical strength was also so incredible.
"Then I'll wait for that day." Jiang Lan said indifferently.
"It seems that you are really not afraid that we will perish together?" Tan Tai Qing said coldly.
"At least you don't dare now. You are a vicious person, cruel and ruthless, selfish, but you only care about your feathers and value your reputation more than your life."
"If you die, Helian Wen will be able to unscrupulously expose the truth to the public. The image you have maintained will collapse overnight and you will be ruined. Is this the result you want?" Jiang Lan stretched out his hand and pinched her round white chin, smiling.
Everyone has his or her own flaws, he is no exception, and Tan Tai Qing is no exception.
Before coming to Feixian Island, he had integrated all the life experiences of Tan Tai Qing that he knew and had a thorough understanding of her.
That's why he was fearless and not worried at all that Tan Tai Qing would escape from his control.
"You are a despicable, despicable, sinister and cunning bastard..."
After hearing these words, Tan Tai Qing finally felt a little uneasy and fearful, as if his weaknesses were being grasped.
She did not choose to struggle, but cursed angrily. Fortunately, there was an array restriction in the room that could isolate the movement and sound inside and prevent it from being transmitted to the outside world.
Jiang Lan let her scold him without refutation.
If someone saw the goddess, who was considered holy, gentle and elegant in the eyes of countless young people on Feixian Island, cursing in such a disregard for her image at this moment, they would definitely be so shocked that their jaw would drop in disbelief.
"You've been scolding me for so long, it's time for you to take a break..."
"I haven't scolded you enough."
"Don't be so arrogant..." Jiang Lan pinched her chin and said in a leisurely tone.
Tan Tai Qing looked at him coldly, but the next moment he suddenly felt Jiang Lan exerting force and his whole body began to feel some pain.
"Let me go..."
"Hehe..." Jiang Lan laughed and suddenly bent down.
"Um..." Tan Tai Qing's eyes were filled with anger, but he soon became panicked and pushed him hard with both hands.
Jiang Lan remained unmoved and as steady as a rock.
"hiss……"
The next moment he suddenly took a breath, raised his head, and said, "Are you born in the year of the dog?"
Tan Tai Qing raised her snow-white swan-like neck, and on her shiny and mellow lips was a trace of bright red blood. There was undisguised pride and sneer in her eyes, and she looked as if she was saying, "What can you do to me?"
Jiang Lan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Since I said I won't force you, I will keep my word. But I have remembered that you bit me tonight, and I will settle the score with you sooner or later."
"Despicable, shameless..." Tan Tai Qing was not afraid of his threat at all.
Jiang Lan didn't care and loosened his restraints on her.
Tan Tai Qing instantly jumped up like a frightened bird, then moved away far away, with an undisguised look of vigilance in his cold eyes.
This was the first time she had suffered such a big loss since she was a child. Now she hated and was angry at Jiang Lan, and she wished she could tear him into pieces to vent the shame of being molested by him just now.
“Don’t forget, I can remind you, and naturally I can find Helian Wen to help him.”
Jiang Lan stood up and calmly adjusted his collar, straightening out his wrinkled robe, so that there was no sign of abnormality.
Tan Tai Qing looked at his movements, reached out to wipe her lips, and straightened her dress and slightly messy hair.
Helian Wen was in the dark while she was in the light. Now Helian Wen hated her to the core and was naturally extremely wary of her. It was impossible for her to easily detect his whereabouts.
The situation was not favorable for her.
It was not easy for her to openly use the manpower of the Tan Tai family to investigate the matter. As long as the Tan Tai family made any big move, the Helian family, as long as they were not stupid, would quickly notice it.
Therefore, the person who can help her right now and is also the most suitable person is Jiang Lan.
Judging from Jiang Lan's actions just now, if he intended to disobey him, he would definitely do something to secretly help Helian Wen.
Tan Tai Qing's jade hands were clenched so tightly that they creaked, and her face looked gloomy and uncertain.
"Wait..." Seeing Jiang Lan stand up and push open the door to leave, she finally gritted her teeth and spoke.
Jiang Lan looked as if he had expected this. He stopped and smiled, "Have you figured it out?"
"Do I have any choice? But you must promise me to help me solve the hidden danger of the Six Desires Demon and get rid of Helian Wen." Tan Tai Qing looked at him coldly.
Jiang Lan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aren't your conditions a bit too much?"
Tan Tai Qing said angrily, "Are you still a man? Why are you so fussy?"
Jiang Lan smiled and said, "You will soon know whether I am a man or not, but you are also right, why should I be so picky about you."
"As long as you are obedient and become my woman, you will find that you are not at a disadvantage."
Tan Tai Qing's expression was still uncertain, but he did not refute. It was unknown what he was thinking.
"Give me a few days to prepare..." After a moment, she raised her eyes and said expressionlessly.
"No problem. I'm not in a hurry anyway." Jiang Lan smiled.
Tan Tai Qing took a deep breath and regained his initial calmness.
She walked out of the room before Jiang Lan, but when she reached his side, she paused and said coldly, "I will remember today's shame for the rest of my life."
"It's good enough if you can remember it for a lifetime." Jiang Lan smiled nonchalantly.
Tan Tai Qing glared at him coldly again.
However, the moment she pushed open the door and walked out of the wing, her face suddenly regained its previous indifference and elegance, soft and flawless, like the most outstanding work of art from heaven, light and ethereal, with fluttering clothes, beautiful and elegant, even though she was a woman, she felt inferior to her.
"elder sister……"
In another room, Tan Tai Ming came out, followed by many of his men.
He looked at his sister's face with some confusion, but did not see anything unusual, nor did he know what she and Jiang Lan had talked about.
Behind Tan Tai Qing, Jiang Lan walked out slowly, and You'er, Kong Xuan, Yuan Kong, Jin Ming and others on the other side also came forward.
"Thank you Miss Tan Tai for your hospitality and for answering my questions. I have really benefited a lot tonight. I will take my leave first." Jiang Lan bowed and prepared to leave with his people with a smile.
Tan Tai Qing looked at him, showing a decent smile, and replied, "Mr. Jiang, you are joking. Qing'er has benefited a lot tonight. There is a long way to go. I am afraid I will have to trouble Mr. Jiang more in the future."
Tan Taiming didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that his sister was biting too hard on the idea of "benefiting a lot".
Jiang Lan smiled, waved his hand, and led the people down the stairs.
Tan Tai Qing had been staring at his back. Only when she saw him completely disappear did the smile on her face disappear. Deep in her eyes surged emotions that only she could understand.
"Sister, are you okay?" Tan Tai Ming asked cautiously.
"It's nothing. Starting tomorrow, send more people to patrol near the Demon Abyss." Tan Tai Qing regained his composure, said lightly, and went downstairs first.
On the long street, Jiang Lan stood with his hands behind his back, the smile on his face faded, and he looked thoughtful, thinking about his next plan.
"Owner……"
At this time, You'er, who was following him closely, suddenly spoke in a low voice.
"Hmm?" Jiang Lan glanced at her.
You'er whispered, "Master... the smell of you..."
Jiang Lan raised his eyebrows slightly, and quickly realized what You'er was saying. Suddenly, a clear light flashed across his body.
"Anything else?"
He himself couldn't smell it, but You'er's nose was almost catching up with Li Mengning's. She could tell such a small difference in an instant.
You'er stretched her little head over and sniffed in front of him, then said with a blushing face, "No more."
We were just talking about some things, why does the master smell like the goddess Tan Tai Qing?
Could it be that the two of them were talking about something? "Did Ao Yin find anything unusual?" Jiang Lan ignored You'er's thoughts and asked about the situation in Mo Yuan.
Kong Xuan, who was following behind him, shook his head and said, "My lord, we haven't found anything unusual yet. Ao Yin is currently patrolling with the younger generation of the three guardian families. The Demon Abyss has been very quiet these past two days, and no living creatures have been seen..."
Jiang Lan nodded. Now all eyes on Feixian Island were on the Demon Abyss. Even if the barbarians sneaked in, they would not dare to rashly go in and break the seal.
If he is a barbarian, the best way to minimize losses at this time is to communicate with the three guardian families.
The internal structure of the saint's family is not united.
Since the Southern Hunting Exercise began, the trajectory of the confrontation between the Barbarians and Daxia has begun to deviate from the original plot.
Jiang Lan naturally did not want the demonic disaster to break out prematurely. Not to mention that the Xiangguo Mansion relied on the many mineral resources on Feixian Island to control the lifeline of some weapon-refining sects in Zhongtianzhou.
Even if a demonic disaster breaks out and the situation in Daxia becomes completely turbulent and chaotic, it will also lead to many unknown and unpredictable consequences.
This is also a huge challenge for Emperor Xia.
Of course, it’s not that Jiang Lan felt sorry for her, he just felt that her current abilities and skills were not enough to control everything. Once she lost power, Jiang Lan would have to support someone new to stabilize the situation in order to plan for the future destiny of the world.
This can become troublesome again.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Just as Jiang Lan was thinking, a series of sounds breaking through the air suddenly came from the darkness.
At the end of the long street, there is an extremely huge banyan tree with lush leaves, but at this moment, a series of cold and shining arrows pierced through the treetops, flashing with hazy light, and shot towards them as fast as lightning.
"Protect the young master..."
The sudden scene startled everyone, even Jiang Lan was slightly distracted and looked over.
He didn't expect that someone would come to assassinate him in the middle of the night. How unthinkable was that?
The long street, which originally had many pedestrians, suddenly became chaotic. Pedestrians looked around and fled, extremely frightened.
Buzz!!! A barrier like a blue lake appeared beside Jiang Lan.
Princess Xiangxiao of the Sea God clan waved her jade hand, and bits of blue light shone, evolving into a huge crystal shield that blocked the front.
Kong Xuan and others also looked in the direction where the arrow came from in surprise, but did not choose to attack immediately.
The rest of his men turned into divine light and rushed towards the direction where the arrow came from. Even You'er merged into the void like a ghost and suddenly disappeared, chasing after them.
Chichichichi…
Jiang Lan's expression remained unchanged as he watched the arrows pierce through him like rain.
But when it encountered the barrier, there was a crackling sound, like hot oil meeting cold water. Some charred mist spread out, accompanied by a smell of corrosion, and then exploded in mid-air.
And among those exploding arrows, shadows of ferocious beasts emerged one after another. They did not dissipate, but instead pounced towards him with extreme ferocity.
Chi! A five-colored divine light flashed, and Kong Xuan made a move. His white palm shone brightly. With just a wave, the phantoms of the ferocious beasts that came to kill him disintegrated in mid-air and were instantly wiped out.
"Five-color divine light..."
Jiang Lan looked at her palm.
This is just a ray of five-colored divine light, and it is not complete. However, with this divine light, Kong Xuan created a five-colored divine fetus in his body. If it is perfected, he can get the complete five-colored divine light.
This is obviously also a great blessing.
The five-colored divine light is said to be a bit of innate chaotic energy. When it differentiated into the five elements, a peacock was conceived and born.
The five colors of green, yellow, red, black and white turned into five feathers, which were refined into five-colored divine light. With a twist, nothing was left untouched.
It is said that the ancestors of the Kong Xuan clan had a great connection with this peacock.
Seeing Kong Xuan take action, Jin Ming and others gave up.
"This is Daxia's barbarian hunting arrow. It usually only appears in the border area between Nanhuangzhou and Zhongtianzhou. It is used to deal with barbarians. No family is allowed to possess it privately..."
"The inside of this arrow is engraved with a demon-breaking array pattern, and it also contains a trace of the residual soul of a vicious beast. It is not easy to forge."
Xiangxiao waved her hand and caught an arrow that had not yet broken, and looked at it in front of her.
When Kong Xuan and the others saw this, their eyes flashed and they guessed something.
"Have the barbarians quietly sneaked into Feixian Island? Is this a demonstration to me, or a threat to me?" Jiang Lan smiled with some surprise.
"The barbarians have always been stupid. They probably think that they can hurt the young master with this thing." A priest with the cultivation level of the sixth realm said.
Jiang Lan waved his hand and said, "There are still smart guys among the barbarians. This move may seem stupid, but in fact it is an opportunity to tell everyone on Feixian Island that the barbarians do not take Daxia seriously, even when facing me."
The Prime Minister's Mansion has become very powerful in recent years and seems to be omnipotent, but in fact it still has many enemies in secret, and there are also many people who dislike it.
In the eyes of many people, it was not a wise move for him to come here in person.
The barbarians' action told everyone openly that they were not afraid of Daxia, nor were they afraid of revenge from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In this way, some people who have grudges against the Prime Minister's Mansion will become interested, and it is not impossible that they will secretly cooperate with the barbarians.
Kong Xuan and others suddenly became thoughtful.
Jiang Lan did not let them chase him. Not long after he returned to Prince Zhong's Mansion, the four princes who heard the news of his assassination rushed over and hastily apologized.
They also didn't expect that someone would be so bold as to openly attack and kill Jiang Lan on the street.
Although Feixian Island is a mixed bag, no one would be stupid enough to do something like assassinating Jiang Lan in person and offending the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Not long after the four kings arrived, You'er also came back. She brought back news that the barbarians who attacked Jiang Lan fled to the wilderness and committed suicide, leaving no clues.
Jiang Lan was not surprised by this. The barbarians attacking him was actually a good thing for him.
Because he was planning to use himself as bait to lure the snake out of its hole.
The barbarians' move also saved him some effort.
The news that Jiang Lan was attacked and killed on Chang Street last night quickly spread throughout Feixian Island. Many people were surprised and shocked. People in teahouses and taverns were also talking about it, wondering who was so bold.
However, the details of the attack were not leaked, and the four kings were also instructed to keep it strictly confidential.
In Wumo City, which is adjacent to the Demon Abyss area, Tan Tai Qing, who learned the news, smiled coldly, with a look of gloating in his eyes.
"What a pity! Why didn't this guy get hurt? It would be better if he died."
In front of her, there were several jade slips, which contained the whereabouts of the younger generations of the Helian family who had been on good terms with Helian Wen during this period of time.
Since Helian Wen is not dead, he will definitely find a way to contact the people he once trusted.
However, according to her investigation, the younger generation of the Helian family has not had close contacts with anyone during this period of time.
Trying to find Helian Wen's whereabouts is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
At this time, someone outside the courtyard suddenly reported, "Miss, there is a beggar outside who brought a letter over, saying it was sent by an old acquaintance of yours."
Hearing this, Tan Tai Qing was stunned at first, then frowned as if he thought of something.
"Bring the letter."
"Also keep the beggar and give him some money." She said in a flat tone.
Soon, a sealed letter was presented to Tan Tai Qing. There was obviously a restriction on it. If it was opened forcibly, the letter would be destroyed.
Tan Tai Qing looked at the familiar ban, but there was a cold and indifferent look in the depths of his eyes.
"Helian Wen..."
"It's you."
She murmured in her heart, using the same method to destroy the restriction above, and then open it.
The content of the letter was very simple. It greeted her in the tone of an old friend and mentioned her changes over the years, seeming to be very emotional.
They then agreed to meet at a place. It seemed casual, but the words were filled with deep hatred.
Tan Tai Qing recognized the familiar handwriting at a glance. It was written by Helian Wen. No matter what, the two of them have known each other for more than ten years.
She looked at the letter expressionlessly, without any fluctuation in her eyes. After all, ever since Jiang Lan learned that Helian Wen was still alive, she had guessed that this would happen today.
Helian Wen hated her to the core, and revenge on her was inevitable.
Now that Helian Wen invited her to meet him, it must be a Hongmen Banquet. If he was not sure, how could he let her know that he was still alive? (End of this chapter)
