Chapter 4: The Foundation of the Su Family

Seeing the wandering hands Su Chen had placed on Chu Yanran's delicate body, Ye Fan could no longer restrain the fury in his heart; he suddenly raised his head and shouted angrily, "Su Chen, let go of my master!"

Ye Fan glared at Su Chen with bloodshot eyes, as if he might pounce at any moment to tear Su Chen into ten thousand pieces.

Boom~

The aura on Ye Fan's body suddenly became much more powerful than before.

"Tsk tsk, worthy of being the protagonist; under such pressure, he actually breaks through in adversity."

Seeing this scene, Su Chen clicked his tongue in wonder, a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes, though he ultimately held it back.

Ye Fan was one of the male leads in the original story; if he were killed directly, many future opportunities would be obtained by other unknown fated people, increasing the difficulty for him to acquire these opportunities.

"Forget it, I'll just treat it as keeping a dog."

Su Chen narrowed his eyes, "However, the dog's teeth must be broken first."

"Presumptuous!"

Just as Su Chen was about to let the old man take action, Chu Yanran moved.

With a gust of wind, Chu Yanran appeared in front of Ye Fan and raised her hand to slap him across the face.

"Slap~"

A crisp sound resonated through the great hall, echoing for a long time.

Everyone looked at Chu Yanran in astonishment.

One had to know that Chu Yanran was notoriously protective of her own, cherishing the disciples under her care immensely; no one expected that today, for the sake of Su Chen, she would personally strike her own disciple!

"Ma—Master..."

Ye Fan was clearly stunned by this sudden slap, looking at his stunning master before him in a daze.

What was happening?

His master had always been gentle and caring toward him; how had she become like this today?

His heart was filled with confusion.

But Chu Yanran did not pay him any mind, the aura on her body rising abruptly.

"Crack~"

The sound of bones breaking lingered in the great hall, and everyone felt a chill on their scalps.

Ye Fan's legs had been ruthlessly crushed by Chu Yanran at the same time.

"This..."

The most ruthless creatures in the world are women; even Su Chen felt this scene was somewhat surreal.

No wonder she could become the head of the Ten Great Heroines; she truly had some skill and was indeed clever.

He knew Chu Yanran's purpose in doing this was nothing more than to preserve Ye Fan's life.

"Ma—Master, why is this?"

Looking at the expressionless Chu Yanran before him, Ye Fan was terrified, his eyes filled with endless fear deep within.

Chu Yanran ignored him and instead turned to look at Su Chen, "Young Master, are you satisfied with what this concubine has done?"

"Ha~ ha~ ha..."

Su Chen nodded with a smile; he stepped forward, wrapped his arm around Chu Yanran's willow waist, and raised an eyebrow slightly, "This Young Master is very satisfied, but I wonder how your skills in serving people are?"

"..."

Hearing the teasing intent in Su Chen's words, Chu Yanran's pretty face flushed red, her delicate body trembling, not knowing how to answer.

"Someone, throw Ye Fan into the sect's Heavenly Prison!"

Jiang Yunxi glanced at Ye Fan, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and said in a deep voice.

"Yes! Sect Master!"

The two Elders beside Ye Fan had been waiting for these words from Jiang Yunxi.

They hoisted Ye Fan up, one on each side, and dragged him toward the outside of the hall.

Ye Fan kept his head down the entire time, his expression unreadable, letting the two drag him away like a dead dog.

Since the show was over, there was no need for Su Chen to remain at this Immortal Sword Sect, so he said to Chu Yanran, "Let's go."

"En."

Chu Yanran nodded lightly and followed behind Su Chen as they walked out of the great hall.

After Su Chen and the others walked out of the hall.

The old man behind him took several golden flags from his robes and threw them into the space ahead.

"Whoosh~ whoosh~ whoosh..."

The golden flags landed, emitting a sound of metal colliding.

The next moment, the stone floor lit up with a blinding golden glow, dense runes emerged on the ground, and a thin barrier slowly condensed.

Half an incense stick later, a teleportation array appeared out of thin air outside the hall.

"Young Master, please!"

The old man bowed respectfully to Su Chen and said.

"En."

Su Chen nodded, then took Chu Yanran and the others into the teleportation array and vanished.

——————————

Chu Yanran only felt a wave of dizziness in her head and her vision went black; when she opened her eyes again, she appeared in front of the gate of the Su Mansion.

Before her eyes was a magnificent mansion covering an area of one hundred thousand mu.

The plaque above the main gate inscribed with the two large characters "Su Mansion" seemed to possess some kind of power, emitting faint ripples of Spiritual Power.

The interior of the mansion was hazy, making it impossible for those outside to see the situation within; it was clear at a glance that high-level arrays had been set up inside the Su Mansion to prevent those petty people who might be lurking and spying on the Su Family.

Moreover, standing at the main gate of the Su Mansion, one could feel an incomparably dense Spiritual Qi, which made Chu Yanran sigh inwardly at how truly profound the Su Family's foundation was.

With Spiritual Qi this dense, cultivating in the Su Mansion for a single day would likely be enough to equal more than ten days of cultivation at the Immortal Sword Sect.

"What is it?"

Seeing Chu Yanran's surprised expression, Su Chen asked indifferently.

"No, nothing."

Chu Yanran knew she had lost her composure and hurriedly shook her head with a smile.

"Young Master!"

The two cultivators guarding the gate saw Su Chen's party and hurried over to greet them, their eyes revealing a look of respect.

Su Chen nodded indifferently and led Chu Yanran into the Su Mansion, completely failing to notice the look of astonishment on Chu Yanran's pretty face.

"A Supernatural Realm expert!!!"

Just now, when passing by those two guards, Chu Yanran had sensed the aura of a Supernatural Realm expert.

If the Su Family's two gate guards were this powerful, there was no need to even mention the strength of those guards hidden in the shadows.

Just how much foundation did the Su Family have?

Chu Yanran dared not continue imagining it.

She looked around and, finding nothing out of the ordinary, she put away her surprised expression and followed silently behind Su Chen.

In her heart, there was no longer any desire to resist Su Chen.

That Su Chen had taken a fancy to her could be considered her own good fortune.

A second-generation heir with such a family background should have some taste; he wouldn't just find any woman at random, would he?

Chu Yanran thought to herself, her mind drifting further and further away.

"Go on in!"

Su Chen's voice came to her ears.

It turned out they had already arrived at their destination for this trip—Su Chen's room.

"Mm."

Seeing this, Chu Yanran nodded shyly.

She knew that she had truly walked into the tiger's den; it was too late to escape even if she wanted to.

"Ah~"

Just as she was letting her thoughts run wild, she suddenly felt her body grow light.

It turned out that Su Chen had swept her up directly into a bridal carry.

"Ah~"

Suddenly, she felt a pain in her bottom.

Su Chen rudely threw her onto a bed that was luxurious to the extreme.

"Young Master, you..."

Seeing Su Chen's rude actions, Chu Yanran's pretty face flushed red, and she bit her red lips, looking at Su Chen with some grievance.

"Hehe~"

Looking at Chu Yanran, whose clothes were somewhat disheveled, Su Chen gave an evil, charming smile.

"Young Master... what are you doing?"

Seeing Su Chen approaching her step by step, Chu Yanran trembled, her delicate body shaking; she covered her chest with both hands and stared at Su Chen nervously.

She seemed to have forgotten that she was a Dao Palace Realm expert, while Su Chen was just an ordinary person.
