Chapter 6101 Just kidding
But Chen Wanqing did not give up.
He raised his head and looked David straight in the eye: “Young Master Chen, although my Chen family is not as powerful as the Temple, we have been operating in Yunxian City for a thousand years and are not easy to beat. If the Temple dares to come to my Chen residence to kidnap people, my Chen family will do everything in our power to stop them.”
He paused for a moment, then said firmly, “As long as Young Master Chen agrees to help me enter the Dragon Pool, my Chen family is willing to be your backer. If the people from the Temple come looking for trouble, my Chen family will protect you.”
David stared at him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
This woman really has courage.
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
“Miss Chen, do you know why I said earlier that I entered the martial arts contest to find a husband for the elixir of immortality?”
Chen Wanqing was taken aback, not understanding why he suddenly changed the topic.
David continued, “Actually, that was just an excuse. My real goal was to find investors.”
He leaned back in his chair, his expression calm: “I am wanted by the temple, and wherever I go, people want to use me for rewards. Although Yunxian City is under the temple’s jurisdiction, the forces within the city are complex. As an outside cultivator, it won’t be easy for me to leave alive.”
He looked at Chen Wanqing: “So, when I saw the martial arts contest for husbands, I wondered if if I could become the Chen family’s daughter-in-law, would I have a place to stay? Would I be able to temporarily escape the temple’s pursuit?”
David is a liar who can lie without hesitation. If he weren’t interested in this Dragon Pool, he probably wouldn’t have told this whole story!
Chen Wanqing terkejut.
She never thought that David had another reason for participating in the martial arts contest, namely to find a husband.
David continued, “Since Miss Chen has offered to protect me, I will of course gladly oblige. As for the Dragon Pool…”
He paused for a moment, then said, “To be honest, I’m also very curious to know where the dragons went. And where did my golden dragon bloodline come from?”
He stood up and extended his hand to Chen Wanqing:
“Mrs. Chen, it is a pleasure to do business with you.”
Chen Wanqing looked at his hand, was silent for a moment, then smiled and shook his hand.
“It was a pleasure working with you.”
David withdrew his hand, then suddenly remembered something and asked, “By the way, Miss Chen, since we are now in a cooperative relationship, may I make a request?”
Chen Wanqing nodded: “Please speak, Young Master Chen.”
David looked at him and said seriously, “Now that we are partners, shouldn’t we start practicing cultivation together?”
Chen Wanqing’s smile froze.
“What…what did you say?”
David shrugged, “Didn’t you say I was your dual cultivation partner? I’ve passed the test, and now it’s time for dual cultivation. There’s no better time than now, let’s do it tonight.”
Chen Wanqing’s cheeks flushed red, and she glared at him sharply: “Young Master Chen, please have some self-respect!”
David looked completely innocent: “How could I not have any self-respect? You said it yourself, I’m your dual cultivation partner. If a dual cultivation partner doesn’t cultivate together, what kind of dual cultivation partner is that?”
Chen Wanqing was furious.
He took a deep breath, resisting the urge to shoo David away, and said, word for word:
“Young Master Chen, I repeat. The dual cultivation partnership is only a formal agreement, allowing you to legally remain in the Chen family. Besides… besides, you can have anything you want.”
David raised his eyebrows: “What is it?”
Chen Wanqing nodded: “Anything is fine.”
David thought for a moment and said seriously, “Then, I want one million bottles of the elixir of immortality.”
Chen Wanqing almost lost her balance.
“One…one million?!”
He stared at David with wide eyes in disbelief.
David nodded, looking very calm: “Yes, one million. Didn’t Miss Chen say that any other amount is acceptable? One million bottles of immortal liquid shouldn’t be difficult for the Chen family, right?”
Chen Wanqing took a deep breath, then another, before she could barely contain the urge to slap him.
“Young Master Chen,”
He gritted his teeth and said, word by word, “One million bottles of immortality elixir, even if the Chen family sold all its members, we wouldn’t be able to gather that amount.”
David looked down at his clenched teeth and suddenly laughed.
“Mrs. Chen, I was just joking.”
Chen Wanqing terkejut.
David’s smile faded, and he said seriously, “Miss Chen, since we are in a cooperative relationship, I only have one request: I need 360 bottles of immortal liquid to carry the teleportation array to the Holy Land of Light. After the matter of the Dragon Pool is resolved, you must help me leave the Immortal Cloud City.”
Chen Wanqing stared at him blankly for a long time before reacting.
“You…you were just joking?”
David shrugged: “If not, then what? There’s no way I can cultivate with you, right? I have partners, and dozens of them.”
Chen Wanqing’s cheeks turned red again, this time from anger.
He glared at David, then turned and walked towards the door.
As he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at David:
“Young Master Chen, since you already have dozens of partners, why do you still need to participate in martial arts contests to find a husband?”
David leaned back in his chair and said calmly, “I told you, this is for the elixir of immortality, and to find investors.”
Chen Wanqing was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
In that smile, there was relief, gratitude, and a little… a sense of loss that was hard to explain.
“Young Master Chen seems like an honest man, but I never expected him to be so depraved, having dozens of friends.”
He pushed the door open and said softly, “I’ll have someone arrange accommodations for you. Tomorrow morning, I’ll take you to Longtan.”
After saying that, he left.
David watched her retreating figure, a faint smile on his lips.
This woman is quite attractive.
