Situ Lei’s subordinates suddenly felt an unbearable itch all over their bodies.
Unable to resist, they scratched themselves, their expressions contorting.
"Quickly hand over the antidote, or don't blame me for being rude!"
Seeing his guards suffering, Situ Lei roared in anger.
Qin Han Chu smiled, "You already made a move against me, why should I care about your threats?"
"You dare to oppose our Situ family, are you looking for death?" Situ Lei threatened through gritted teeth.
"Your guards are in no condition to help you right now. Believe it or not, I could slap you." Qin Han Chu raised his hand, a menacing smirk playing on his lips.
Situ Lei knew he was no match for Qin Han Chu. Seeing Qin Han Chu about to strike him, he fumed, "You wait, this isn't over."
With that, Situ Lei quickly left with his subordinates.
The poison Qin Han Chu used, Qiyangsana, was a common itch-inducing powder, easily neutralized with the medical skills of Longmen.
"If you dare provoke me again, you'll regret it."
In Longmen, Qin Han Chu needed to maintain a relatively low profile.
Situ Lei was a direct descendant of the Situ family. If Qin Han Chu beat him, the conflict would escalate.
Therefore, even if he wanted to deal with Situ Lei, he couldn't let it be known that he was responsible.
After buying the medicinal ingredients, Qin Han Chu returned to Yan Ling's home.
Yan Ling had not yet returned; she had gone to pick up Xiao Yu from kindergarten.
Qin Han Chu processed the medicinal ingredients and placed them on the induction cooker to boil.
Longmen was merely an island with very limited resources such as natural gas.
Cooking and travel relied entirely on electricity.
While the induction cooker wasn't as effective as fire for boiling medicine, it was sufficient.
An hour later, Yan Ling and her son finally returned.
As soon as they entered, they smelled the aroma of medicinal herbs.
Yan Ling knew the medicine was for Xiao Yu.
"Sister Ling, I've prepared three days' worth of medicine for Xiao Yu."
"After he finishes this medicine, I'll conduct a follow-up examination for Xiao Yu."
"I'll be moving out tomorrow. Just call me if anything comes up."
Qin Han Chu approached Yan Ling and said.
Upon hearing that Qin Han Chu was leaving, Yan Ling quickly asked, "Have I been negligent in any way?"
Qin Han Chu hurried to explain, "It's not your fault. I'm moving in with my girlfriend."
Hearing Qin Han Chu's explanation, Yan Ling finally relaxed.
The next morning, Qin Han Chu left Yan Ling's home.
Shortly after walking out of the residential complex, Murong Yanran's car stopped beside him.
Qin Han Chu got into the car and said, "Situ Lei brought people to block me yesterday."
Upon hearing this, Murong Yanran exclaimed in surprise, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, but he will come looking for me again."
"As your fiancé, you must protect me well."
"With so many experts in the Situ family, if Situ Lei sends a ninth-rank fighter, he could kill me."
"I'm risking my life to help you."
Qin Han Chu sighed.
Murong Yanran gave Qin Han Chu a sideways glance and said, "Did Situ Lei really come looking for you? His guards are all eighth-rank fighters, why weren't you harmed at all?"
"I have a few tricks up my sleeve," Qin Han Chu replied with a smile.
"You're just trying to make me pay more, aren't you?"
"It's disheartening that you don't believe me."
Chatting as they went, Murong Yanran drove Qin Han Chu to her home.
At this time, Murong Yuntian and his wife were not at home.
Murong Yanran led Qin Han Chu into a room and said, "This is your room, and mine is right next door."
"Are you hinting at something?"
"Are you going to leave the door open for me tonight?" Qin Han Chu teased.
"Dream on! Would you like a knife instead?" Murong Yanran huffed.
Qin Han Chu glanced around the room and then asked, "What should we do now?"
Murong Yanran pondered for a moment and then smiled, "Let's do something couples do."
"That might not be appropriate."
"This isn't something I'd do even if you paid more."
Hearing this, Murong Yanran raised her fist and playfully hit Qin Han Chu, "What are you thinking? I'm taking you shopping."
Black Dragon City's commercial street was extremely prosperous, offering everything from food to clothing and luxury goods.
The streets were bustling with people. The architecture and clothing were no different from the outside world.
Along the roadside, Qin Han Chu even saw dishes like 'gai lan fan' and 'mala tang'.
"I still owe you a meal. I'll treat you to a feast at noon today."
Murong Yanran had returned home, and her bank card had naturally been unfrozen.
She was now a little rich woman again.
Soon, it was noon, and Qin Han Chu and Murong Yanran arrived at a high-end restaurant.
Just as they were being seated, Qin Han Chu saw Situ Lei walk in with his entourage.
"So disappointing." Murong Yanran also spotted Situ Lei and whispered.
"I'm just a helpless handsome man. You need to protect me well," Qin Han Chu said earnestly.
Murong Yanran scoffed, "You're an eighth-rank martial artist, and you call yourself helpless?"
"His guards, aren't they all more powerful than me?" Qin Han Chu retorted.
"That's true," Murong Yanran nodded. "Don't worry, I'll cover you."
As they were talking, Situ Lei had already arrived in front of them with his men.
Situ Lei first glared fiercely at Qin Han Chu, then asked Murong Yanran, "Tell me the truth, did you find him as a shield?"
Murong Yanran chuckled, "Why should I tell you? What does it have to do with you?"
"You were supposed to belong to me. Do you think it has nothing to do with me?" Situ Lei said angrily.
"Situ Lei, watch your words."
"I, Murong Yanran, am not an object, nor do I belong to anyone."
"Also, we aren't close. If you have nothing else, please leave my sight."
Murong Yanran said without reservation.
Situ Lei clenched his fists in anger, but he couldn't afford to fall out with Murong Yanran.
Under Qin Han Chu's gaze, Situ Lei's eyes fell on him.
Before Situ Lei could speak, Qin Han Chu interjected, "What? You don't dare to get angry at Yanran, so you want to bully me, a nobody?"
"You!" Situ Lei was momentarily speechless.
If he lashed out at Qin Han Chu, it would be seen as bullying the weak.
But if he didn't, why had he come today?
"She fell in love with me, and it's not my fault."
"Even if you're angry, you shouldn't take it out on me."
"If you have issues, take it up with her, not me."
"If you insist on bullying me, she won't stand by and do nothing."
Qin Han Chu said with a smile.
"Hiding behind a woman, and you have the nerve to say that?" Situ Lei fumed.
"Without the backing of the Situ family, would you dare bark at me?"
"If you have the guts, don't use your guards. Let's fight one-on-one."
"Let me make it clear beforehand, don't cry if you lose."
Qin Han Chu mocked disdainfully.
Situ Lei's face turned crimson with anger. He retorted, "I have good fortune, what can a mere commoner like you compare to me?"
Upon hearing the word "commoner," Qin Han Chu's gaze turned cold.
He raised his hand, and a puff of toxic powder landed on Situ Lei.
"It's the same recipe as yesterday. Enjoy," Qin Han Chu quipped.
