Chen Ningshuang Emerges from Seclusion, Starts by Calling Off the Engagement

“Mmm—ugh!”

“What… what did you give me to drink? What is this?”

Yu Wan'er stared at the green glass bottle in her hand, her heart filled with dread.

[Are… are you trying to poison me?]

[Wuwuwu, Sister Yaoyao, you have to avenge me, kick this pervert to death!]

[I get it now, this must be some kind of mysterious potion, a love potion… Jiang Che, you jerk!]

[Or maybe it’s some kind of long-term contraceptive drug? Won’t this stuff harm my body?]

The little loli’s inner monologue was intense, but Jiang Che simply flicked her forehead.

“This stuff will keep you forever young. You should be thanking me. From now on, you’ll stay a cute little loli, forever one and a half meters tall.”

“Hehehe—”

Yu Wan'er froze. The part about staying forever young went right over her head, but she latched onto the second half of his sentence.

Does this mean… she’ll never grow taller? Did Jiang Che just give her some kind of potion to stunt her growth?

“You jerk! I’ll kick you to death! I want to grow taller… I’ll stomp you!”

“You pervert, you trash, you loli-loving freak! I curse you to be impotent for the rest of your life!”

“Wuwuwu~~~”

Yu Wan'er was on the verge of a breakdown. She had been hoping for a growth spurt during her second puberty!

Her expectations weren’t high—just to break past one and a half meters, so she wouldn’t be stuck as a “southern little potato.” But now… it seemed hopeless.

Jiang Che pressed his hand down on Yu Wan'er’s tiny head. “You’re getting a bargain and still complaining! Do you know how many people in the world would kill for a bottle of this potion?”

The ‘Eternal Youth Potion’ was practically a divine elixir. Eternal youth!

If he were to sell it… people would be lining up to pay billions for a single bottle.

“Resistance is futile!”

Jiang Che picked Yu Wan'er up, dressed her himself, and carried her to the car.

The girl sat in the passenger seat, sulking, as she glanced at Jiang Che’s profile.

“Jiang Che, why are you such a freak?”

“Heh, thanks for the compliment!”

Yu Wan'er: “......”

After dropping Yu Wan'er off at school, Jiang Che contacted Wang Zheng and his crew, handing over Su Han’s corpse.

“Jiang… Jiang-ge, is… is this guy dead?”

The two men’s faces turned pale. They weren’t exactly good people, but seeing a gruesomely mutilated corpse right in front of them was still terrifying.

“Take care of him. Mix the body into concrete and dump it into the ocean.”

“Don’t worry, we’ll make sure there’s no trace left,” Wang Zheng said, thumping his chest confidently.

Jiang Che wasn’t worried. Su Han was a blacklisted individual—a foreign mercenary leader and a full-blown terrorist.

The reason he had been able to enter Dragon Country before was due to his connections in the military, but those connections had since collapsed.

Even if someone traced this back to Jiang Che, it wouldn’t matter. Did they think his background was just for show?

This was just a test for his subordinates. If they couldn’t even handle a corpse… what use were they?

Jiang Che then contacted Monkey.

“Young Master Jiang, what else do you need?”

“Su Han’s dead. You did well. I’ve sent you two upgraded AI robot girlfriends as a reward. If you need anything else, just let me know.”

Monkey was overjoyed. This young master was like a second father to him!

As for Su Han’s death?

Good riddance. The guy was a waste of space, air, and money.

“Also, now that Su Han’s out of the picture, I need you to investigate Chen Hao—the young master of the ancient martial arts Chen family.”

“No problem, Young Master Jiang!”

Jiang Che trusted Monkey’s abilities. After all, he was one of the protagonist Su Han’s golden fingers, so his skills were top-notch.

...

Jiang Che hadn’t paid much attention to Chen Hao lately.

But this so-called “child of destiny” was doing quite well for himself.

He had become a security captain, and his martial arts had already reached the peak of ‘Dark Force Grand Perfection,’ just one step away from Half-Step Transformed Force.

In just one month, he had changed jobs five times.

Now, he was working as a security guard at the entrance of a newly established company called… Qiangsheng Group?

“At this rate, I’ll break through to Transformed Force within three months. In five years, I’ll reach the Grandmaster level. Then, I’ll return to the Chen family, and that’ll be the end of Jiang Che!”

Chen Hao clenched his fists tightly.

These days, he dreamed of Qin Qiaoqiao every night—the girl he had fallen for at first sight. No other girl, no matter how beautiful, had ever stirred his heart like this.

He knew… he was hopelessly in love with her.

“Qiaoqiao, one day I’ll expose Jiang Che for the scum he really is!”

“I don’t care if you’ve been tainted by him. To me, you’ll always be the purest girl…”

The image of Qin Qiaoqiao laughing and throwing herself into Jiang Che’s arms made his blood boil. He wished he could become a Grandmaster right now and crush Jiang Che with a single slap!

But for now, that was just a fantasy.

...

Meanwhile, in the ancient martial arts Chen family.

A young girl in white training clothes sat cross-legged on a mat, her long hair cascading down to the floor. A faint aura seemed to ripple around her, causing her hair to sway gently without any wind.

The girl’s eyes were closed, but her expression was cold and stern, like an unyielding iceberg.

After a long while, she exhaled softly.

Her eyes slowly opened.

“Mid-level Transformed Force… it took a few more days than I expected.”

Chen Ningshuang!

Chen Hao’s younger sister, a prodigy who had reached Transformed Force at just 18 years old.

The first thing Chen Ningshuang did after breaking through to Mid-level Transformed Force was… take a bath!

The girl calmly stripped off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub. Her skin was flawless, like the finest jade, and her figure was perfectly proportioned.

Especially for a girl who practiced ancient martial arts, her skin was even more delicate than most. Her long, seaweed-like hair floated in the water.

“I wonder how my brother is doing now?”

Thinking of her brother Chen Hao, a trace of worry appeared on Chen Ningshuang’s brow.

“Brother, I’ve reached Mid-level Transformed Force. I’ll enter the secular world to help you!”

She had promised that once she reached this level, she would step into the secular world to assist her brother.

After finishing her bath, Chen Ningshuang used her internal energy to dry her hair instantly.

Just as she was about to leave, a young maid rushed up to her in a panic.

“Miss, Miss! Wonderful news!”

“What is it?”

Chen Ningshuang’s beautiful eyes widened slightly. What kind of news? Had her father successfully broken through to the Grandmaster level?

“Miss, do you remember the marriage contract from your childhood? The one with the useless young master of the Ye family? The elders just heard you’ve come out of seclusion and are planning to take you to annul the engagement!”
