Chapter 989

Ordinary people really couldn't break free of this kind of control.

Thinking it over, it seemed only Ye Xuan could do it.

Ye Xuan saw the two women looking his way, and the corner of his mouth twitched wildly.

Are you freaking sick in the head?

When you were beating me, you weren't acting like this.

Now that you've got a problem you can't solve, you come calling for me?

Lunatics.

At this moment, Ye Xuan cursed furiously inside.

Xu Chen was all smiles—of course he had to be the one to step up.

After all, on the surface, he still had to take the beating.

But behind the scenes, when it came down to it, his relationship with this Han Family Head was actually not bad.

At this moment, Xu Chen was just about to plan on using Ye Xuan as his hired thug.

He quickly recalled the situation of this Han Family Head.

Speaking of which, her name was Han Wushuang.

A name that looked like a woman's, yet sounded like a man's too.

Carrying a certain androgynous flavor.

The first time Xu Chen met this Han Family Head, it wasn't at the Altar.

It was tens of thousands of years in the past.

Because there was no choice—Xu Chen had no way of obtaining the Seven Injuries Imperial Dao in the present.

He had to return to the past to have any chance of making contact with Han Wushuang.

So he used the Space Law and went straight back to the past.

When he returned to the past, Han Wushuang was still here in Wan Du Xian Yu.

She still controlled the entire Han Family; back then she hadn't yet realized the problem with the Wan Du Jade Pendant.

Because at that time, the Wan Du Jade Pendant wasn't yet in her hands.

Instead, it was in the hands of that Han Family Ancestor.

All she was responsible for every day was continuously providing the Wan Du Jade Pendant with all sorts of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

Nominally, it was because the Han Family Ancestor wanted to consume them.

In reality, it was the Wan Du Jade Pendant that wanted to use them.

That was the difference.

Still, the Han Family Ancestor didn't really have any ill intentions.

She only wanted to crack the Wan Du Jade Pendant, and even have it acknowledge her, that was all.

After all, that way she could control an even more powerful force.

Even among the Eight Great Ancient Clans back then, she would possess extraordinary power.

After all, the eight jade pendants of the Eight Great Ancient Clans each possessed a different power.

It all came down to who could take control first.

Unfortunately, the Han Family Ancestor failed to take control, and an accident even occurred instead.

On the contrary, she herself ended up controlled by the Wan Du Jade Pendant.

This was a rather helpless matter, and it also led to the decline of the Han Family.

It wasn't a true decline, just that the Han Family ended up ranked behind the Eight Great Ancient Clans.

But compared to other families, it was still quite powerful.

Of course, that was the Han Family Ancestor's situation, and had nothing to do with the Han Family Head.

Now the Han Family Head was only constantly cultivating through her Extreme Spirit Constitution.

She often suffered all kinds of pain—there was no helping it, that was the characteristic of this constitution.

Or rather, it should be said to be one of her few vulnerabilities.

Xu Chen planned to strike through this vulnerability.

Because he already knew the past and the future, he had certain control over such matters.

Back then, after the Han Family Head finished cultivating, she would often go out for a walk.

After all, cultivating was too painful; a walk helped her relax.

It was at that time that Xu Chen found the Han Family Head.

Of course, he didn't jump out and greet her with some line like, "Hello, Han Family Head."

He thought that would be too stupid.

Instead, Xu Chen disguised himself as a person with an injured right leg.

To be precise, it wasn't a disguise—he really did injure himself, and badly at that.

After all, he possessed the Undying Dao, so there was no need to worry about it.

Blood gushed wildly from his right leg; walking was absolutely impossible.

He collapsed on the ground, wailing continuously, his face deathly pale, looking utterly wretched.

The instant Han Wushuang saw him, she thought someone was setting up an ambush here.

But after she investigated, she found no one around.

And although the youth before her was a Martial Artist, he was genuinely injured.

If his right leg wasn't treated soon, it would be permanently crippled, and he'd never walk again for the rest of his life.

After confirming it, Han Wushuang began treating Xu Chen.

After all, although she was the Family Head, she was not someone who was heartless and ungrateful.

Her heart was still kind, which was why she saved Xu Chen.

After Xu Chen woke up, he said gratefully, "Many thanks, miss."

Han Wushuang was stunned—miss?

It had been a long time since she last heard anyone address her that way.

For a moment, she actually felt a little embarrassed.

After all, the young man before her had mistaken her for a young girl.

Although she had never had a Dao Companion, it seemed she had nothing to do with being a young girl anymore.

She had lived for tens of thousands of years, merely retaining the appearance of a young girl.

She touched her own face and found that it really did seem quite smooth and delicate.

At the same time she sighed inwardly in regret—as the Family Head of the Han family, she figured there would be no love in her life either.

After thinking this, she said directly, "Young master is joking. I am actually no longer young."

Xu Chen said in shock, "Are you not eighteen, miss?"

Han Wushuang burst out laughing, "You must have had many Dao Companions."

Xu Chen scratched his head and said:

"... No, I'm a rather simple and honest person. Girls say they like the clever ones.

Someone silly like me, they don't like—say I can't take care of people."

Han Wushuang laughed, "Then you'll have to learn to be clever, or else you won't be able to find a wife in the future."

Xu Chen nodded, "The miss speaks wisely."

Han Wushuang said, "My name is Han Wushuang. And you?"

Xu Chen said, "My name is Xu Chen. Miss Han, if it weren't for you this time, I would have lost my life."

Han Wushuang asked curiously, "Speaking of which, how exactly did you get injured?"

Xu Chen said, "I ran into a gang of villains. The moment they saw me they took a dislike to me, so they beat me up."

Han Wushuang snorted coldly, "These villains are really going too far."

Xu Chen sighed, "Too bad I don't know how to cultivate. Otherwise I would definitely teach them a good lesson."

Han Wushuang's heart stirred.
