Chapter 9: Su Chen, How Dare You Strike Me

"Ah~"

Chu Yanran, who was concentrating on watching the light screen, was startled when Su Chen's voice sounded by her ear.

She turned around, rolled her beautiful eyes at Su Chen, and chided, "Young Master, could you please give me a heads-up next time you want to startle me?"

"Hehe, how do you feel about that disciple of yours?"

Su Chen did not forget to take advantage of the moment, his hands climbing up to those towering mounds.

"Sigh!"

Hearing this, Chu Yanran let out a soft sigh, "I never expected him to hide so many secrets."

"He was always coveting my body, and even thought about using drugs to forcibly possess me! I am his master, how could he..."

As she spoke, Chu Yanran's eyes turned red, and a thin mist appeared in her beautiful eyes.

She had always trusted Ye Fan so much, carefully cultivating him and bestowing upon him all kinds of cultivation resources without reservation.

It was just that she hadn't expected to misjudge Ye Fan's character.

After spending countless efforts, she had ultimately cultivated an ungrateful wretch.

Chu Yanran shook her head repeatedly, her heart filled with unbearable pain!

Compared to Ye Fan's despicable character, although Su Chen was overbearing, he acted openly and honestly, and would never think of using despicable means like Forget-Love Powder to obtain her.

"Young Master, I was wrong. From now on, I will never have anything to do with that rebellious disciple again!" Chu Yanran raised her head, looking at Su Chen with a frank expression.

She had already secretly sworn in her heart to follow Su Chen for the rest of her life.

Looking at the tear-streaked, delicate body in his arms, Su Chen's gaze faltered, his heart palpitating. His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed, "Rest assured, following this Young Master, I will definitely let you stand at the pinnacle of the Tianxuan Continent."

A stick and a carrot!

Being able to cause a rift between this master and disciple and capture Chu Yanran's heart was definitely a joyous thing for Su Chen.

Before he left the Immortal Sword Sect with Chu Yanran, he had already had Sanchungong hide his presence and remain in the Immortal Sword Sect, specifically so that he could use the Image Jade in the shadows to record this scene that took place in the Heavenly Prison.

Su Chen knew Ye Fan's personality very well from the original work; he was a person who would seek revenge for the slightest grievance, and having been slapped in the face by him repeatedly, he certainly wouldn't be able to take it.

And sure enough, this scheme of sowing discord achieved results far exceeding his expectations.

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Chu Yanran buried her small head into Su Chen's chest, rubbing it against him a few times, "I will follow the Young Master forever, through fire and water, without hesitation!"

"Through fire and water?"

Hearing this, Su Chen shook his head, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly as he said, "This Young Master does not need you to charge into battle; I only need you to do what a woman should do."

"You understand what this Young Master means, right!"

"Yes, I understand!"

Chu Yanran slowly moved her head downward.

————————————

The next day.

Su Chen didn't get up until the sun was high, and under Chu Yanran's service, he finished dressing!

As they were newlyweds, Chu Yanran had to go pay her respects to her father-in-law and mother-in-law, who were Su Chen's parents, that morning.

Although Chu Yanran's status was that of a concubine, the proper etiquette still had to be observed.

The Su Family main hall.

"Father, please have some tea!"

"Mother, please have some tea!"

Chu Yanran took two cups of clear tea from the maid at the side in turn and handed them to Su Hao and Qin Xinran, who were sitting in their chairs.

"Mm."

Su Hao took the tea from Chu Yanran with an expressionless face, his expression revealing neither joy nor anger.

He had always held a grudge regarding this daughter-in-law's age, but since his son liked her, there was nothing he, as the father, could do.

Chu Yanran was only a concubine, not the legal wife; otherwise, it would have had quite an impact on the reputation of his Su Family.

"Heh~ heh."

Qin Xinran, however, smiled gently as she took the teacup and teased, "Yanran, Mother only has one request, and that is that I hope you can continue the family line for our Su Family soon."

As a mother, she had long hoped to hold a grandson.

Although the woman before her was a bit older than her son, her appearance, figure, and aptitude were beyond reproach.

Glancing at Chu Yanran's large buttocks, a glint flashed in Qin Xinran's eyes, and she clicked her tongue in her heart, thinking, "Big enough, she should be the type to bear a son."

Hearing her mother-in-law's words, Chu Yanran's pretty face flushed bright red instantly.

She bit her lip gently, lowered her beautiful eyes, and whispered, "Mother, I understand..."

At this moment.

Among the collateral branch members of the Su Family on both sides of the hall, there was a pair of lecherous eyes secretly sizing up Chu Yanran's appearance and figure, and he couldn't help but rest his chin on his hand and click his tongue.

His gaze fell entirely into Su Chen's eyes.

Su Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and endless killing intent surged in his heart.

Since he had already awakened his bloodline, it was time to settle the old scores and new grudges with this enemy.

This person was a member of a collateral branch of the Su Family, Su Chen's cousin, Su Yong.

Su Yong's father, Su Jian, was Su Chen's own uncle.

During the struggle for the position of the previous Head of the Family, the old master of the Su Family had originally intended to pass the position to Su Jian, but in the end, Su Jian died unexpectedly on the foreign battlefield, and the forces that followed him were almost completely wiped out in that battle.

Indeed, there was the shadow of the Qin Family behind this.

However, since Su Jian was dead, the old master of the Su Family had no choice but to pass the position of Head of the Family to his only remaining son—Su Hao.

There was no great family that hadn't gone through blood and slaughter during a succession struggle, and the Su Family was no exception.

As the orphan of a loser, Su Yong had long harbored resentment toward Su Hao's family.

When they were young, Su Yong had many times taken advantage of moments when no one was around to bully Su Chen, making Su Chen suffer greatly.

Later, upon learning that Su Chen could not cultivate, he was even more overjoyed, secretly thinking: "The Heavenly Dao is a cycle; retribution is never late."

He believed that Su Chen's branch was completely finished.

Deep down, he began to harbor restless ambitions for the position of Head of the Su Family.

But today, seeing the good-for-nothing Su Chen take such a beautiful woman as a concubine, his heart became unbalanced again.

Even a good-for-nothing had married a beauty, while he, a martial arts prodigy of the Su Family, did not have such good fortune.

As expected, being a biological child really is different.

Thinking of all this, Su Yong felt a surge of indignation with nowhere to vent.

However, in front of Su Hao and Qin Xinran, he dared not be too presumptuous, though his eyeballs rolled around as he kept pondering how to bring down the pair of scoundrels before him.

"Heh~ heh~ heh."

Suddenly, he thought of a vicious scheme: "Since you want a grandson so much, and that good-for-nothing son of yours clearly isn't up to the task, I, his brother, shall do the favor."

Thinking of this, he flashed a wicked, charming smile at Chu Yanran.

"Tsk~ tsk. This appearance and figure are indeed not bad, but all of this will be cheap for me."

Su Chen had already perceived the lecherous expression on Su Yong's face.

In the original story, in order to take revenge on Su Chen's family, Su Yong had secretly contacted Ye Fan and, joining forces with his lackeys, destroyed the Su Clan Protective Array at a critical moment.

This was what ultimately allowed Ye Fan to break into the Su Family without a ripple, and finally slaughter Su Chen's entire family and their supporters.

Su Yong eventually relied on Ye Fan's support to finally ascend to the position of Head of the Su Family.

However, Su Chen, who had transmigrated over, would not let the plot follow the original story.

He wanted to become the master of this era!

Seize all the protagonists' opportunities and occupy all the heroines!

Thinking this, a playful smile curled at the corners of Su Chen's mouth, his eyes filled with killing intent; the way he looked at Su Yong was like looking at a dead man.

"Could I have been discovered?"

Su Yong noticed Su Chen staring at him with a playful gaze, and a chill ran through his heart, giving him an ominous premonition.

However, he quickly calmed down.

Although Su Chen was the Young Master of the Su Family, he could not cultivate and was a complete good-for-nothing; no matter what, he was no match for him.

Thinking this, Su Yong grew a bit bolder and glared fiercely back at Su Chen, secretly thinking: "Hmph, a good-for-nothing is a good-for-nothing; no matter how much he shows off, his final ending will be that of a good-for-nothing for life, I..."

However, before he could finish his internal monologue, Su Chen strode over.

Slap~

A sudden, crisp sound rang out in the great hall.

Immediately after, Su Yong felt a burning pain on his left cheek, and five bright red finger marks appeared on his face.

"Su Chen, you actually dare to hit me!"

Su Yong covered his burning left cheek, staring at Su Chen with wide eyes, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
