Chapter 2985

Although there were clearly two choices before them, Tianhe ended up flattering that man, forcing Zhao Tianqing and Yue Linxian to think more.

After all, according to ordinary thinking, if you've used a Charm Technique, you're definitely going to pick the opposite sex.

Not to mention the issue of orientation, the opposite sex is also easier to succeed with, since there's naturally mutual attraction.

But Tianhe, contrary to expectation, didn't choose that woman; instead, he picked a man with a higher difficulty—how absurd.

Noticing the two's strange gazes, Tianhe also clenched his teeth in secret and snapped angrily.

"What kind of look is that, you two? I said it was an accident—that woman didn't even take the bait."

"Hmm, that woman didn't take the bait, but the man did."

Zhao Tianqing nodded as if seriously, but the more he did so, the more it made Tianhe grit his teeth in anger.

"Enough already—believe it or not, I'll fight you."

He had long said he didn't want to use the Charm Technique, but damn it, that thing kept stirring beside them, claiming their Twin Swords United would definitely succeed.

He actually believed that damn thing's nonsense, and now he's being mocked by it in return—does he really think he has no temper?

Fortunately, Yue Linxian beside them prevented the two from coming to blows, shouting in a low voice.

"All right, what time is it now? You still have time to talk about this?"

"If you're going to fight to the death, it's not just you doing it—there'll be a time for you to fight to the death later."

The plan deviated slightly, but after calming down and thinking, it seems not too big and doesn't affect the situation.

Anyway, charming whom is still charming, killing whom is still killing—as long as you can kill, it's a success.

Just after stopping their argument, the man's voice came over, obviously directed at them.

"Dear, father-in-law, please help me."

Hmm???

Upon hearing that, the three all froze. They knew who 'dear' referred to—aside from Tianhe, who else could it be? But who the hell is your father-in-law? Where did your dad come from here?

At first they didn't react, but after Yue Linxian and Zhao Tianqing exchanged a glance, Zhao Tianqing said embarrassedly.

"Palace Master, are you calling for me?"

"You're full of shit, he..."

"Father-in-law, what are you waiting for?"

This time, all three saw that the man was clearly shouting at Yue Linxian, so Zhao Tianqing was right—he genuinely took him as his father-in-law.

Hearing that, Yue Linxian's mouth twitched—damn, he hasn't even lifted a hand yet, and he's already gained a fine son-in-law?

The man's shouting like that is probably due to the cup of wine Zhao Tianqing mixed.

That wine is potent—it directly got him drunk and confused.

However, seeing Zhao Tianqing unable to hold back a chuckle, Yue Linxian couldn't help but curse.

"Look at the good thing you've done."

"Palace Master, I'm doing exactly as you ordered—just tell me if the effect is good or not."

"You.........."

Whether the effect is good or not needs no saying—they've already called him dad, so the wine's effect is naturally superb.

But Yue Linxian just doesn't feel satisfied inside.

He felt a sense of humiliation, but he couldn't dwell on it now; seeing the two already engaged in over a hundred exchanges, Yue Linxian and the others joined the fight.

The woman wasn't affected, so she was naturally clear-headed; seeing Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe still daring to strike, she felt furious and frustrated.

【37】 This bunch of Half-People is practically rebelling.

【38】 She didn't even regard these Half-People; if it were just Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe acting alone, she could easily crush the three of them.

【39】 But the problem is, she's willing but unable; that man is at the front, leaving her no chance.

【40】 Moreover, Yue Linxian and the two are utterly sneaky, never meeting her head‑on, always looking for a chance to ambush.

【41】 Such tactics made the woman's teeth itch with anger.

【42】 She couldn't land a hit, had no opening, and from time to time still had to endure a sneak attack from the three.

【43】 Although the three's strength couldn't seriously wound her in one blow, the problem is they can't withstand many repetitions.

【44】 One or two times might not affect her, but if the numbers add up and she can't dodge, she'll inevitably end up seriously injured.

【45】 Furthermore, she dare not be the slightest bit careless about that man's attacks.

【46】 That guy's attack can truly wound her severely in a single strike.

【47】 Besides having to deal with her afflicted companions, she must also fend off the sneaky ambushes of Yue Linxian and those two.

【48】 The woman quickly fell into a disadvantage.

【49】 Of course, Yue Linxian and the two haven't forgotten that man; once the woman launches a counterattack, they unhesitatingly dart behind him.

【50】 Let the man block the shot—let's go for mutual destruction.

【51】 Yet each time the man is very cooperative, even stepping forward voluntarily—after all, his dear one is also in there.

【52】 How could we let his dear one get hurt?

【53】 Seeing the man get addicted to blocking shots for the three, the woman flew into a rage and shouted.

【54】 "Are you sick? Blocking shots for those three—can't you wake up?"

【55】 "Hmph, I'm perfectly clear‑headed—cut the chatter; today I'll take your life."

【56】 Hearing that, the man, just as before, let out an angry shout and charged forward again.

【57】 They fought on, the woman striking while seething, wondering when this drug's effect would wear off—they've already been battling for nearly half a Shíchén.

【58】 They've held out this long, yet the man shows no sign of waking up.

【59】 All that can be said is that these Half‑People's methods still exceeded her expectations—could such poisonous wine really be concocted by Half‑People?

【60】 And that Charm Technique—how did it leave you utterly bewildered? Hell, that guy's an old man.

This bunch of Half-People is practically rebelling.

She didn't even regard these half‑people as a threat; if it were only Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe attacking, she could easily crush the three of them.

Translation: "She didn't even regard these Half-People; if it were just Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe acting alone, she could easily crush the three of them."

But the problem is, she's willing but unable now, and that man is standing right in front, leaving her no opening.

Translation: "But the problem is, she's willing but unable; that man is at the front, leaving her no chance."

Moreover, Yue Linxian and his two companions are utterly treacherous—they never meet her head‑on, always looking for a chance to strike from the shadows.

Translation: "Moreover, Yue Linxian and the two are utterly sneaky, never meeting her head‑on, always looking for a chance to ambush."

This kind of tactic makes the woman seethe with frustration.

Translation: "Such tactics made the woman's teeth itch with anger."

She can't land a blow, has no opening, and every now and then the three sneak‑attack her.

Translation: "She couldn't land a hit, had no opening, and from time to time still had to endure a sneak attack from the three."

Though the three of them couldn't seriously wound her with a single strike, the issue is that they can overwhelm her by sheer numbers.

Translation: "Although the three's strength couldn't seriously wound her in one blow, the problem is they can't withstand many repetitions."

A hit or two might not faze her, but if the attacks pile up and she can't avoid them, she'll inevitably suffer serious injury.

Translation: "One or two times might not affect her, but if the numbers add up and she can't dodge, she'll inevitably end up seriously injured."

Moreover, she can't afford to be careless about that man's attacks.

Translation: "Furthermore, she dare not be the slightest bit careless about that man's attacks."

His attack can truly inflict serious injury on her with a single strike.

Translation: "That guy's attack can truly wound her severely in a single strike."

Besides facing companions who have been struck, she must also fend off the sneaky attacks of Yue Linxian and his three despicable lackeys.

Translation: "Besides having to deal with her afflicted companions, she must also fend off the sneaky ambushes of Yue Linxian and those two."

The woman quickly found herself on the defensive.

Translation: "The woman quickly fell into a disadvantage."

Of course, Yue Linxian and his two companions haven't forgotten that man; the moment the woman launches a counterattack, they instantly dive behind him without hesitation.

Translation: "Of course, Yue Linxian and the two haven't forgotten that man; once the woman launches a counterattack, they unhesitatingly dart behind him."

They use the man as a shield, hoping to drag him down with them.

Translation: "Let the man block the shot—let's go for mutual destruction."

Strangely, the man always complies, even stepping forward voluntarily—after all, his treasure is also inside.

Translation: "Yet each time the man is very cooperative, even stepping forward voluntarily—after all, his dear one is also in there."

How could he allow his treasure to be hurt?

Translation: "How could we let his dear one get hurt?"

Seeing the man repeatedly block attacks for the three, the woman flew into a rage and shouted.

Translation: "Seeing the man get addicted to blocking shots for the three, the woman flew into a rage and shouted."

"You're sick—blocking attacks for those three, can't you snap out of it?"

Translation: "【54】 \"Are you sick? Blocking shots for those three—can't you wake up? \""

"Hah, I'm perfectly clear‑headed—cut the chatter, today I'll take your life."

Translation: "【55】 \"Hmph, I'm perfectly clear‑headed—cut the chatter; today I'll take your life. \""

Upon hearing that, the man, just as before, let out an angry roar and charged forward again.

Translation: "Hearing that, the man, just as before, let out an angry shout and charged forward again."

They resumed their fierce battle; the woman fought while seething, wondering when the drug's effect would wear off—they'd already been fighting for nearly half an hour.

Translation: "They fought on, the woman striking while seething, wondering when this drug's effect would wear off—they've already been battling for nearly half a Shíchén."

She had held out this long, yet the man showed no sign of waking up.

Translation: "They've held out this long, yet the man shows no sign of waking up."

All that can be said is that these half‑people's tactics still exceeded her expectations—could this poisonous wine really be something half‑people could concoct?

Translation: "All that can be said is that these Half‑People's methods still exceeded her expectations—could such poisonous wine really be concocted by Half‑People?"

And that bewitching technique—how could it have left you so dazed? That thing is just an old man.

Translation: "And that Charm Technique—how did it leave you utterly bewildered? Hell, that guy's an old man."

Now ensure each line starts with 【N】 and a space? The instruction: Output 【N】 for EVERY line listed below — all 60 must appear. Keep each translation on a SINGLE output line. Return ONLY the 【N】 lines. Nothing else.

Thus each line: "【1】 translation". No extra punctuation after the line number? We'll follow exactly "【1】 translation". Ensure no extra spaces at start.

Let's produce final answer【1】 There were clearly two choices in front of them, but Tianhe ended up charming that man, which inevitably made Zhao Tianqing and Yue Linxian think more.

The woman was utterly baffled, but the man now also had no way to explain it to her.

For now, all we can do is hope to hold on a bit longer, wait until the medicine's effect wears off, then we'll talk.

Anyway, with their two strengths, it's already hard to decide a winner in a short time, let alone to kill.

Although they can't reach the level of the Barbarian God Clan Old Ancestor, the woman's vitality is enough to force herself to last a few days without problem.

A few days should be enough to outlast the drug's effect; as long as we regain a bit of clarity, the matter will be settled.

The woman clenched her teeth, already plotting how to deal with these Half-People—making their death a mercy—and determined to make these Half-People, especially the three before her, wish they were dead.

She was still trying to buy time, but the next instant, as she momentarily lost focus, she saw the man's Space Ring flash, and a Great Black Banner appeared in his hand.

As the banner appeared, a thick black aura spread from it; and upon seeing the Great Black Banner, the woman who had thought she'd found a solution was left dumbfounded.

"Damn, what are you taking out the Myriad Souls Banner for?"

Not only him, but Yue Linxian and the three others beside him were all stunned in place at the sight of the Great Black Banner.

Although they aren't exactly Xiāntiān rénzú, they've seen this thing before; in the Immortal Realm, there are cultivators who play with this stuff, and it's quite formidable.
