Ye Lan stood up and walked out, her posture graceful and her aura imposing. She completely ignored the gazes of Yu Yong and the other man, linking her arm through Ren Yuanhao's, acting exceptionally intimate.
Song Xiangqin was stunned at first, then puffed out her chest and drew in her abdomen, feigning an arrogant demeanor. However, her imposing aura was instantly defeated by a single look from Ye Lan.
"Are you Ren Yuanhao's?"
Ye Lan was sharp and, sensing something from Ren Yuanhao's attitude towards the two, smiled slyly and said, "Me? I'm his third."
"Th-third what?"
Yu Yong hiccuped, his boozy breath billowing out, causing Ye Lan to frown repeatedly.
"His third wife, of course."
Ren Yuanhao felt a pang of worry, fearing his reputation was about to be ruined.
"Haha, someone like you can have this kind of garbage? Let me tell you, girl, why don't you come with me? I'll give you thirty thousand yuan a month!"
Slap!
Before Yu Yong could finish speaking, a long, thin five-fingered mark appeared on the left side of his face. He hadn't even seen which direction the slap came from. He blinked and saw a woman in a fiery red skirt linking Ren Yuanhao's other arm.
Song Xiangqin tenderly stroked Yu Yong's face and was about to make a move when she was intimidated by the aura of the two women, not daring to even breathe loudly.
"You dare hit me?!"
Slap!
The force of the second slap sobered Yu Yong up considerably. Without a word, he lunged forward to strike back, but before he could take three steps, Shen Lan Ni delivered another slap, knocking him to the ground.
Song Xiangqin quickly helped Yu Yong up and said, "Who are you! Why are you hitting people so casually?!"
Shen Lan Ni said calmly, "I am his eldest wife. Furthermore, your man insulted my husband three times. These three slaps are his punishment. Do you have a problem with that?"
Ren Yuanhao felt a cold jealousy permeating the air. Just then, Yang Ling Xue was also preparing to join the fray.
"Hello, I'm the second wife," Yang Ling Xue said with a mischievous smile.
Ren Yuanhao froze in place. Ye Lan and Shen Lan Ni each held one of his arms, while Yang Ling Xue draped herself over his neck from behind, revealing half her head.
The scene was too picturesque, drawing the attention of the guests in the hall.
"Aren't you leaving yet? Do you want to be his fourth wife too? But then again, our husband has very high standards, and he might not even fancy you. Give up on that idea."
Yang Ling Xue stuck out her tongue. Yu Yong, now sober, fled the scene without another word.
Although Yu Yong was driven away, Ren Yuanhao couldn't feel happy at all.
Ye Lan asked, "We chased him away for you, why aren't you happy?"
Ren Yuanhao rolled his eyes. "Sisters, is chasing away these two weaklings more important than my reputation?"
Yang Ling Xue snorted, "Hmph, you're probably happy inside!" Da Feng Novel Network
At this moment, the three women seemed to unite. Even Shen Lan Ni, usually known for her maturity, snorted, "Are you feeling wronged by us being your girlfriends?"
...
After the interlude, the main topic was finally addressed: the Martial Arts Association大会.
"Hey, Ren Yuanhao, Sister Lan Ni told me you're going to the Martial Arts Association大会 tomorrow to beat up that guy named Jiang. I'm rooting for you, go for it!" Yang Ling Xue extended her left fist, signaling for Ren Yuanhao to bump it.
"It might not be that easy," Shen Lan Ni said, picking up a piece of bok choy and eating it with grace, her demeanor completely different from the dominance she displayed when teaching Taekwondo.
"Hey, hey, Sister Lan Ni, boosting others' morale and dampening our own is not your usual style," Yang Ling Xue said, seeing a hint of worry in her eyes, which made her think of Ren Yuanhao's injuries.
Shen Lan Ni shook her head and added, "Don't believe in yourself blindly. After all, Ren Yuanhao started practicing martial arts too late. He can only learn the superficial aspects of many techniques in a short time and cannot grasp the essence."
"Don't you still have me?" Yang Ling Xue had absolute confidence in Shen Lan Ni's skills. A good teacher often leads to twice the results with half the effort.
"Just having me is far from enough. This morning, when Jiang Cheng came, I noticed his skills were even more vicious and ruthless than a week ago, and his movements were more decisive. I'm afraid my master has already taught him some of his most guarded techniques."
"Even you say that, does that mean Ren Yuanhao is only going to get beaten tomorrow?" Yang Ling Xue had heard Shen Lan Ni talk about her master before, using highly flattering words, saying he was not only skilled in martial arts but also a top-tier cultivator!
How could such a person teach that villain Jiang Cheng?
"Don't you three worry unnecessarily," Ren Yuanhao's eyes flashed with an unreadable light. He thought, Does only Jiang Cheng have guarded techniques? Damn it, I do too now!
—With the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, am I still afraid of Jiang Cheng?!
"Eat up quickly, see how much you can learn in the remaining time. Oh, and you'll accompany me to meet someone this afternoon," Shen Lan Ni said mysteriously.
"I'm going too! I'm going too!" Yang Ling Xue linked arms with Shen Lan Ni, her eyes wide like copper bells.
Ye Lan remained silent at this moment. She didn't think it was a good idea to bother Ren Yuanhao, yet she was terribly worried.
"We are going to find someone, not sightseeing. Why are you coming?"
As Shen Lan Ni spoke, she took out her phone again, seemingly waiting for someone's reply.
"Alright, alright, I know. A man and two women traveling together, I'm not happy."
"You~" Shen Lan Ni gave her a sideways glance. The monkey avatar in the phone finally flashed several times—that person had finally replied!
Excited, she interrupted her retort, grabbed Ren Yuanhao's hand holding a large lobster, and prepared to leave.
"Hey, Sister Lan Ni, so hurried? Remember to pay the bill!"
"As the eldest daughter of the Yang family, this is the time for you to show your loyalty. Shouldn't you be the one rushing to pay the bill?"
Just as Yang Ling Xue was about to retort, Shen Lan Ni had already pulled Ren Yuanhao and rushed out of the private room. Da Feng Novel.
"Phew, it feels like the past couple of days have been like fighting a war," Ren Yuanhao looked at the floating clouds in the sky, the sun was fierce.
"Is your body really fine?" Shen Lan Ni had to confirm that his body could withstand that person's torment. Her face was expressionless, extremely solemn.
Ren Yuanhao moved his arm. Since he had taken the Qi-Enhancing Blood-Nourishing Pill and used Shen Lan Ni's ancestral medicinal wine for external application, he felt there shouldn't be any problem. Thus, he said in a deep voice, "It's nothing, what kind of trouble could I have."
"Alright, wait for me here. I'll go get the car."
...
The two drove through a tree-lined mountain road for nearly an hour, winding and twisting, until they finally reached the end of the road.
"No more road?" Ren Yuanhao looked to his left and right.
He saw lush green mountains, the lead-grey mountain path snaking like a coiled dragon. The mountain air was clear, the sky vast, and the clouds swirled and rose. Birds and beasts moved through the bushes, causing the trees to tremble.
"It's right that there's no road. Look around, is there a white ape?"
—Damn it, Miss Shen, we're not here to watch monkeys, are we!
Although Ren Yuanhao was surprised, he had no choice but to get out of the car and stop to observe. Soon, amidst the jade-green vines and bushes, he spotted a large white ape defecating!
