Front Yard.
Under the vermilion fruit tree in the spirit field, a white figure was rolling around in the soil.
【Meow~~~ Woo-hoo!】
【So many delicious fruits! Rolling around here feels amazing, even better than catnip, ah~~~】
It was none other than the little Ragdoll cat, Su Mianmian.
She had just woken up and was instantly drawn to this spirit field. The three trees planted here were laden with delicious fruits, and she couldn't resist sneaking a bite earlier.
Moreover, the fertile black soil seemed to contain some kind of substance that made her incredibly excited, to the point where she was rolling around in it.
She felt that if she could eat these fruits every day and sleep in this spirit field, she would eventually be able to transform into human form.
The thought of transforming... made Su Mianmian extremely excited.
【Su Mianmian, did you steal my vermilion fruit?】
A voice suddenly reached Su Mianmian's ears, startling her.
Su Mianmian immediately jumped up, performing a backflip in the spirit field.
【N-no... no, don’t accuse me!】
Jiang Che sneered, 【Heh, I’ll deal with you later.】
What a headache. If it weren’t for the fact that she was a child of fortune, Jiang Che would have already sent her to the vet for neutering.
【I really didn’t steal any, you have to believe me~】
【Heh, I already heard your thoughts. And... next time, remember to wipe the juice off your mouth after eating.】
Su Mianmian: “......”
Damn, caught red-handed!
......
Meanwhile, outside the gate, Chen Hao was beginning to fantasize.
Chen Hao: Jiang Che, if I die, will you let my sister go?
Jiang Che: Hehehe (with one arm around Chen Ningshuang), that’s right. If you die, I’ll let your sister go. But do you dare?
Ningshuang: No! (screaming at the top of her lungs)~~~
Chen Hao: Fine, you better not go back on your word. Ningshuang... I’ll always be the brother who loves you the most (commits suicide, dies).
Jiang Che: Given your brother’s noble spirit, I’ll let you go!
Just imagining this scene, Chen Hao was moved to tears.
“Ningshuang... don’t worry, I’m here to save you, even if it means sacrificing myself.”
Chen Hao clenched his fists slightly.
During his time as a security guard at Qiangsheng Group, although he was just a guard, he had received many privileges because his sister was Jiang Che’s woman.
But these privileges made him restless!
Every benefit he enjoyed felt like a bullet Jiang Che had fired into Ningshuang’s body!
As Chen Hao was lost in his self-sacrificial thoughts, the gates of the Jiang family villa opened!
From the villa, Jiang Che walked out, his arm wrapped around Chen Ningshuang’s waist.
Chen Hao raised his eyes, narrowing them slightly. Here it comes!
“Jiang Che... please let my sister go...”
Before he could finish, Chen Ningshuang interrupted him.
“Brother, what are you doing here?” Chen Ningshuang’s voice carried a hint of barely concealed annoyance.
Jiang Che had finally taken her out to cultivate, and now Chen Hao had ruined it. How irritating!
“Ningshuang, I’m here to save you!”
Chen Hao didn’t notice anything amiss, his gaze firm and determined.
“Brother...”
Chen Ningshuang was stunned, instantly understanding Chen Hao’s intentions.
He probably wanted to take her away from Jiang Che, right?
But... Brother, you’re too late. I can’t leave Jiang Che now!
Chen Ningshuang’s thoughts were simple. Since she had already been intimate with Jiang Che, and she wasn’t the type to be with just anyone, staying by Jiang Che’s side didn’t seem so bad. Aside from his lecherous tendencies, Jiang Che wasn’t all that bad.
“Oh? You want to take Ningshuang away?”
Jiang Che smirked playfully.
“That’s right! Jiang Che... I know I’m no match for you! But I’m still here! I came for my sister!”
“You hate me, don’t you? Can my life... buy Ningshuang’s freedom?”
Chen Hao felt like a hero facing a final boss all on his own.
But Jiang Che just laughed mockingly, his half-step grandmaster aura erupting, causing the air to tremble with his powerful internal energy.
“Are you stupid? With my strength... killing you would be easier than squashing a bug. Where do you get this confidence?”
Chen Hao: “......”
Jiang Che was utterly speechless. After more than half a year, Chen Hao was still as delusional as ever.
Chen Hao’s expression shifted, and he lowered his stance.
“Young Master Jiang Che, Ningshuang doesn’t like you. A forced relationship isn’t sweet.”
“But it’s refreshing. A forced fruit isn’t just juicy—it’s also incredibly sweet. I like it that way,” Jiang Che replied with a twisted grin.
Chen Hao gritted his teeth so hard he almost shattered them, wishing he could rush forward and tear Jiang Che’s face apart.
But he had to hold back!
“Young Master Jiang, please let Ningshuang go. If you release her... I’ll do anything you ask.”
Chen Hao suddenly knelt down in front of Jiang Che with a thud.
“Heh... let Ningshuang go? Why don’t you ask Chen Ningshuang herself what she thinks?”
Jiang Che smiled as he glanced at Chen Ningshuang, his large hand giving a gentle pinch to the soft flesh at her waist.
Chen Ningshuang rolled her eyes at Jiang Che in exasperation.
【You jerk, if I step in now... won’t my brother just become a clown today?】
【Ah, whatever. Being a clown is better than being dead.】
Chen Ningshuang sighed inwardly.
Then her expression shifted slightly, and she looked at Chen Hao with clear disdain.
“Brother, just go. I don’t want to leave Young Master Jiang anymore.”
Her words hit Chen Hao like a depth charge, exploding in his mind.
“Ningshuang... what are you saying? You don’t want to leave Jiang Che?”
“Aren’t you being forced by him? I know... Jiang Che must be threatening you with something again, right?”
Chen Ningshuang frowned slightly. “Young Master Jiang isn’t threatening me. I... I want to stay by his side willingly.”
“W-why?”
Chen Hao’s face turned pale. If his sister didn’t want to leave with him, wouldn’t that make him a complete fool?
Chen Ningshuang looked slightly embarrassed. How could she possibly tell him... that she was drawn to Jiang Che’s physique?
“Ahem, I’ve been captivated by Young Master Jiang’s extraordinary martial talent. I’m willingly serving by his side. Brother... just go back. Don’t come looking for me anymore.”
Chen Hao staggered back two steps, his eyes wide with disbelief as he stared at his sister.
The girl leaning against Jiang Che’s shoulder, her eyes soft and alluring... was this really the same cold and aloof sister he remembered?
“Sister, my talent has returned. I’m now a mid-stage Transformation Realm martial artist. I can protect you now...”
But Chen Ningshuang was utterly speechless after hearing Chen Hao’s words.
What’s a mid-stage Transformation Realm?
She was already at the mid-stage Grandmaster Realm!
