Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 196: Your mom practices for one day, equivalent to your... lungs, damn!
Ning Xuan was a ruthless and decisive man who never dallied. He was afraid that if the enemy attacked his Flying Ship in the same way, the loss would be unbearably frustrating!
"Reveal your backer, and the Qian Family will pay you ten times their fee!" Qian Fanfan declared boldly, looking at Jin Xiao.
Jin Xiao shook his head. "Little girl, you’ve missed the point. You should be more concerned about your brother’s safety."
"What do you really want?!"
"Leave the Flying Treasure behind, and leave one of the women as my mistress. I’ll have your brother released immediately!"
Jin Xiao’s original target wasn’t the mobile villa, of course, but he had since changed his mind. If he had this thing, his personal safety would increase exponentially. It was the perfect Magical Treasure for murder, arson, and robbery! As for the woman, that was a spur-of-the-moment desire. Ning Xuan was so young, yet he was incredibly lucky with the ladies. Jin Xiao was envious and jealous!
"Are you an idiot?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Amidst the furious glares of the women, Wu Pianpian stared at Jin Xiao as if he were a moron.
Qian Fanfan immediately stepped forward. "This is a Qian Family matter. Young Master Ning just happened to get involved. You..."
Jin Xiao cut her off. "Those were my conditions. Everything else is off the table!"
"You!"
Ning Xuan grabbed the furious Qian Fanfan and smiled at Jin Xiao. "Why talk about a ’mistress’? You might as well just say you want Qian Yourong."
Everyone was stunned. Qian Yourong herself was utterly astonished.
Jin Xiao was about to speak, but at that moment, his expression changed drastically.
BANG!
Amidst the explosion, only the mobile villa remained suspended in the void!
Jin Xiao and the dozen King Realm powerhouses behind him had all burst into a mist of blood!
Qian Fanfan was dumbfounded. Her brother was still in their hands. And Jin Xiao had made it very clear that if he died, her brother wouldn’t survive either!
Yet Ning Xuan had struck without a moment’s hesitation! This was an outcome nobody had anticipated.
"You... you... you..." Qian Fanfan stared at Ning Xuan, unsure of what to do.
"I know where he is."
Ning Xuan’s words made Qian Fanfan pause before she immediately demanded, "Where?!"
"The Jun Family!"
It was Qian Yourong who had spoken.
Wu Pianpian’s eyes widened. She glanced at Ning Xuan, then asked in confusion, "Hold on, you’re confusing me. Why the Jun Family? That guy explicitly denied it earlier. I don’t think he would lie in that situation."
Qian Yourong said, "Actually, I spoke on instinct. I’m not sure why Young Master Ning is so certain either."
Instantly, all the women’s gazes focused on Ning Xuan.
"People who carry feather fans are clever. He predicted what I would predict and was intentionally trying to mislead me. If I were you, I’d immediately send someone trustworthy to chase after them. They’re definitely on their way to deliver him to the Jun Family."
The last part was directed at Qian Fanfan.
Qian Fanfan was about to ask Ning Xuan to take her back to her Flying Ship when she suddenly felt something. Turning her head, she realized she was right beside her family’s Flying Ship.
"You’re so fast!" she blurted out.
Ning Xuan was speechless.
The next moment, he spoke, his face turning pale and his voice laced with weakness. "Ahem, ahem. I was injured trying to save your brother. Even though I didn’t succeed, you need to cover all my expenses."
Qian Yourong’s eyes lit up! She had thought Ning Xuan had ignored her words when he attacked so decisively. As it turned out, the man had a plan all along and was just waiting for the right moment! She had to admit, his method was far superior to what she had suggested earlier. Feigning injury in front of an enemy was a risky gambit that could easily backfire. The risk was enormous. This, however, was a win-win situation. After all, there were quite a few members of the Qian Family’s Direct Lineage on this Flying Ship.
Qian Fanfan was also a smart woman. After a moment of stunned silence, she instantly understood Ning Xuan’s intention. She directly handed her Storage Ring to Ning Xuan.
Then it was Qian Yourong’s turn.
Next, the seemingly carefree Qian Duoduo, who had apparently grasped the situation instantly, also handed over her Storage Ring.
"Everyone," Qian Fanfan announced, "although we didn’t manage to find Manman this time, Young Master Ning has expended a great deal of effort. From now on, the Wild Tiger Mercenary Group will no longer exist in the Cloud Summit Heavenly Palace. This mobile villa has immense upkeep, and I still owe him twenty million Heavenly Crystals. Can you all help chip in?"
Aboard the Flying Ship, everyone immediately sprang into action. Before long, the twenty million Heavenly Crystals were collected.
This Qian Family is really damn wealthy! Ning Xuan couldn’t help but marvel.
"Sister Fanfan, what do we do now?" a young girl asked Qian Fanfan with a worried expression.
"For now, our only choice is to cast a wide net and search for a needle in a haystack! You... you, and you—go search in that direction..."
Qian Fanfan organized several groups, sending them off in various directions. Then, she discreetly dispatched the truly trustworthy members of the Direct Lineage in the direction of the Jun Family. It was a flawless plan!
With the Heavenly Crystals in hand, Ning Xuan was ready to slip away. "I need to find a place to heal, so I’ll take my leave," he said.
"I’ll go with you!"
It was Qian Yourong and Qian Fanfan, speaking in perfect unison.
The others stared at them, dumbfounded. Some could hardly believe their ears. Qian Manman’s fate was still unknown, yet they were going to abandon the search to run off with a man? And one who already had so many stunning beauties with him at that! What were they thinking?
Those with a more distant relationship to the family simply gazed at Ning Xuan with envy. This guy’s luck with women is simply heaven-defying!
Wu Pianpian looked a little displeased, but Yun Wangshu gave her a tug.
The Qian aunt and niece exchanged a look, both holding a grievance they couldn’t voice. They had no desire to get entangled with Ning Xuan at a time like this, but their Storage Rings contained many of a woman’s private belongings. If Ning Xuan were to see them...
"You’re holding so many Storage Rings. Why don’t you let me hold onto them for you?" At the critical moment, it was Yun Wangshu who stepped forward.
Seeing Ning Xuan hand their Storage Rings over to her, the two women finally sighed in relief. Then, each finding an excuse, they boarded the Qian Family’s Flying Ship.
By the time they turned around, ready to say a few words of concern about his injuries, the mobile villa was nowhere in sight.
The aunt and niece cursed Ning Xuan in unison in their hearts. Hmph, scumbag!
Aboard the mobile villa, Wu Pianpian blinked. "Are you really going to give up two beauties as lovely as flowers?"
Ning Xuan was rather speechless. "Master Chest, don’t you need to cultivate?"
"This lady’s one day of cultivation is worth your... argh!"
The rest of her retort was cut short. Right in front of her, Ning Xuan had begun devouring Heavenly Crystals to cultivate. The violent fluctuations of energy made her swallow the rest of her words!
Seeing Ning Xuan cultivating, however, she had the sense not to disturb him further.
All the women headed inside the villa, leaving Ning Xuan alone in the front yard. He gradually entered a deep meditative trance. The mobile villa, operating on its own, flew smoothly toward the Heavenly Palace.
「In the same direction, high in the heavens.」
The younger generation of the Chu Family gathered around Chu Tian’s mobile apartment, marveling at it.
Chu Tian, however, showed no excitement. Instead, he kept glancing back from time to time. He was terrified that Ning Xuan would suddenly appear.
That guy is my nemesis!
