Chapter 118: Choose One of Two

"What exactly are you thinking? Just say it honestly. I don't want to go in circles with you anymore!" Han Li said coldly, seemingly unaffected by Mistress Yan.

Mistress Yan frowned. The young man before her was far more difficult to deal with than she had expected; neither soft nor hard tactics worked well on him, leaving her feeling like she had nowhere to start.

"Do I really have to reveal my bottom line and lay everything out on the table?" Mistress Yan was somewhat unwilling. She had held the power of the Stunning Dragon Society for so many years; when had she ever negotiated without gaining any advantage and had to reveal her bottom line directly!

She looked back at the Fifth Mistress, Wang. Among these sisters, only Wang had the ability to oppose her decision, so she wanted to see if the other party had any better suggestions.

"Fourth Sister can make the decisions regarding the negotiation with this person; I won't have any objections!" Wang saw Mistress Yan's meaning and said coldly.

Mistress Yan was overjoyed to hear this and felt slightly relieved.

"Fine, since you don't intend to beat around the bush, we sisters will also lay our conditions out directly to you." As soon as Mistress Yan said this, she completely regained the demeanor of a leader of one of the three major gangs in Jiayuan City. The feeling of being a weak, helpless little woman vanished, and she radiated the dignity of someone long accustomed to being in a position of power.

"Good, this is the opponent I want to negotiate with!" Han Li smiled slightly.

"You only need to wipe out the Stunning Dragon Society's arch-rivals, the Five Colors Gate and the Overlord Mountain Villa, so that the Mo estate has no worries behind it. Then, I will immediately hand over the Warm Sun Precious Jade with both hands, and I can let you choose one of Mo Caihuan and the others to be your wife. You were just staring at Mo Fengwu, weren't you? As long as you agree, she will be a member of the Han family!" Mistress Yan pointed at Mo Mo Yuzhu and the others and said seriously.

"Fourth Mistress!"

"Mother!"

Mo Mo Yuzhu and Mo Mo Caihuan's expressions changed drastically, and they couldn't help but cry out. Clearly, they hadn't received any prior warning, and they were shocked by Mistress Yan's casual promise.

Only Mo Mo Fengwu remained composed, though her face was somewhat pale, and she leaned against the wall behind her, motionless.

It was no wonder they were so shocked; Han Li's appearance was truly unremarkable, a far cry from the ideal husband they had in mind. There was no match at all, so how could they be willing to marry Han Li?

"Silence! Your aunts and I have already decided this matter; you are not allowed to go back on it, otherwise, you will be expelled from the Mo estate immediately." Mistress Yan sank her face and said coldly.

This sentence stunned all three Mo sisters.

Mo Mo Yuzhu bit her apricot lips, her face livid, while Mo Mo Caihuan looked lost, gazing at the Second and Fifth Mistresses, who usually doted on her, with pleading eyes. Only Mo Mo Fengwu was slightly better, though her body trembled slightly.

"There is no need to force the young ladies! I cannot agree to your conditions. I'll say it again: regardless of the conditions, I will not take unnecessary risks. I cherish my own life very much!" Han Li pondered for a while before answering, refusing Mistress Yan's proposal flatly.

To say that Han Li wasn't moved by the beautiful Mo sisters would be a lie. But Han Li had carefully weighed it: if he were to wipe out the other two major powers in Lanzhou in one go, it would certainly not escape the notice of those with ulterior motives, and he would invite a fatal disaster.

Just think: after the Five Colors Gate and Overlord Mountain Villa collapsed, Mistress Yan would certainly lead the Stunning Dragon Society to rise, becoming the greatest beneficiary.

Plus, with him, a stranger, suddenly appearing in the Mo estate and marrying all three Mo beauties, wouldn't it be obvious to everyone that he was the greatest contributor and the murderer?

If this were to provoke some mysterious power related to cultivators, he, a half-baked cultivator, would absolutely have no good end, and his life would likely be lost. Then what use would these Mo beauties be, no matter how beautiful they were?

That was why Han Li was secretly smiling bitterly while pushing away the three living, fragrant beauties.

As for whether the Mo sisters liked him or not, Han Li didn't care. As long as he could get their bodies, getting their hearts would be a matter of time! But now, saying all this was useless. To Han Li, these Mo sisters were hot potatoes that absolutely could not be touched! He now only wanted to detoxify the cold poison in his body as quickly as possible and then leave this place of right and wrong. As for whether the Mo estate would face disaster or fortune, it had nothing to do with him.

Han Li's refusal, while making Mistress Yan and the others look displeased, actually earned him great favor with the Mo sisters. The youngest, Mo Mo Caihuan, even broke into a smile through her tears and made a face at Han Li.

Even Mo Mo Yuzhu and Mo Mo Fengwu's gazes toward Han Li softened significantly, looking at him with new eyes.

Mistress Yan sighed, exchanged glances with Mistress Li and the others, then turned back and said helplessly:

"Since Young Master doesn't agree, then so be it! We will settle according to the conditions you mentioned. As long as Young Master can kill the Overlord Mountain Villa's master, 'Angry Lion' Master Ouyang Master Ouyang Feitian, we will hand over the Warm Sun Precious Jade to you, allowing you to detoxify."

"Haha! Mistresses have good schemes! I've heard that Master Ouyang Master Ouyang Feitian is in his prime and has no children. If he dies, I imagine the Overlord Mountain Villa will immediately collapse, its subordinates will scatter, and they will have no time to worry about the Stunning Dragon Society." Han Li rubbed his nose and smiled lightly.

Mistress Yan rolled her eyes at Han Li upon hearing this.

"It's not just as you say. Do you know who sent that Wu Wu Jianming? It was instigated by that Overlord Master Ouyang, and he is also Master Ouyang Master Ouyang Feitian's seventh disciple, deeply favored by him."

"This master of the Overlord Mountain Villa is of the same generation as my husband and is about the same age. He has always been ambitious, wanting to dominate all of Lanzhou. Therefore, he adopted a strategy of eating the weak before the strong, seeking to swallow our Stunning Dragon Society first, and then deal with the Five Colors Gate."

"A few years ago, he incited my husband's sworn brother, Ma Ma Kongtian, and my husband's second disciple, Zhao Kun, attempting to split the Stunning Dragon Society. As a result, we sisters saw through it and killed those two and their accomplices first. But the Stunning Dragon Society's strength was greatly damaged, and we were forced back by the Overlord Mountain Villa's army, leaving us with no choice but to shrink our manpower and hold Jiayuan City."

Mistress Yan lightly revealed some secrets regarding the Stunning Dragon Society.

"But your current influence in Jiayuan City doesn't seem very large. Why wouldn't the Overlord Mountain Villa strike while the iron is hot and wipe you out?" Han Li thought for a moment, somewhat puzzled.
