Main Quest "Defying Heaven"

"An! Come out here right now!"

"What do you want? Are you trying to start a rebellion?"

"I had you guard the Luo family. Where were you last night when the Deity Cult attacked?"

"In the middle of the night, of course I was sleeping!"

"Bastard! Give me back my indenture contract!"

"You've got to be kidding. How could I return something that has already fallen into my hands..."

Bang, bang, bang!

The sound of punches and kicks rang out.

Terrifying blue flames swirled up, and scattered sparks flew about, emitting an intimidating glow.

Soon after, Ye Tian was thrown out, his face bruised and swollen.

"This is too much!"

Ye Tian wiped a streak of blood from his nose and climbed to his feet, filled with righteous indignation.

They had originally agreed that he would trade fifty years of his life to have this bastard guard the Luo family.

But this guy was actually sleeping last night!

An Yi flicked his finger to extinguish the blue flame on his arm and walked out the door. "You crossed the line. I am your master! Don't let it happen again!"

"Bastard..." Ye Tian gritted his teeth.

Seeing the furious Ye Tian, An Yi coughed lightly.

"Since it's come to this, I'll tell you the truth. Actually, I was secretly protecting Uncle Luo last night. The reason I didn't show up was to wait for you to come to the rescue..."

"Bullshit. An, I'm not done with you."

Ye Tian grabbed his halberd, preparing to charge forward again.

At this moment, the door slammed shut and was locked.

"Let this kid cool down first."

An Yi said calmly.

He picked up the book on the table again and started reading while yawning.

There were too few things to do for fun in this world. Being a slacker, he didn't even know what to do.

Feeling a ticklish breath on his neck, An Yi couldn't help but turn his head, only to find Long Aoxue.

A flawlessly beautiful face was right in front of him.

She stared at the pages with wide eyes and asked curiously, "Why is that Bing bullying the landlady?"

Hearing this, An Yi hastily closed the book and asked in disbelief, "You can read?"

"A little bit."

Long Aoxue nodded seriously and gestured with her fingers.

An Yi: "..."

"Did you hear me? Give me back my contract!"

Outside the door, Ye Tian slapped the door, feeling like his lungs were going to explode from anger.

He had been played by this bastard!

"Ye Tian!"

A light, girlish voice rang out at the courtyard entrance.

Hearing this, Ye Tian glanced over and noticed Xue Jia's graceful silhouette appearing at the gate.

"Jiajia."

A smile appeared on Ye Tian's face. He walked over with his halberd: "Why are you here?"

Xue Jia looked at Ye Tian and gave him a reproachful look: "How did you get yourself hurt again!"

"It's nothing. I accidentally fell," Ye Tian said perfunctorily with a laugh.

Xue Jia's eyes turned cold, and she gritted her teeth: "Was it Pockmark Wang? Watch me teach him a lesson this time!"

Ye Tian said, "How could a mere servant possibly hurt me?"

"Then was it An Yi?" Xue Jia stared at him and asked.

Ye Tian: "..."

Is women's intuition always this accurate!

"What was that about the indenture contract you were yelling about just now?" Xue Jia frowned and asked him suspiciously.

"You misheard me?"

Ye Tian quickly changed the subject, "Why did you come today? Isn't the auction house busy?"

Xue Jia shook her head, raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, and revealed a smile: "I have some good news for you today."

"What good news?" Ye Tian was also a little curious.

Xue Jia said proudly, "I'm going back to Qi City."

"So sudden."

Ye Tian's expression changed slightly, and then he forced a smile: "This, this is a good thing. A good thing."

In terms of status, Xue Jia was the daughter of the president of the Hongfu Auction House Chamber of Commerce.

Because Xue Jia's mother was a member of the Ye family.

After the Ye family offended the Deity Cult, they were implicated, which led to Xue Jia being suppressed and assigned to the remote Luo Family Town.

Being able to return to Qi City now meant that things had taken a turn for the better.

Xue Jia reached out and gently stroked Ye Tian's head, sighing: "Big sister might be leaving here. Little Tian, you must take care of yourself here, and whatever you do, don't act impulsively."

"I'm not a child." Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh.

But in his heart, he was extremely reluctant to part.

After his rebirth, he was first brutally beaten by Pockmark Wang, and then foolishly signed a fifty-year indenture contract.

It had been nothing but bad luck all the way.

The only thing that made him feel fortunate was living in this town with his childhood sweetheart, Xue Jia.

He didn't expect that now, even the last bit of luck in his heart was being washed away.

"By the way, I have a letter for you."

Xue Jia said as she took out a letter.

The Hongfu Auction House was spread all over the Lingchuan Domain, and they also ran a courier business.

"This is..."

Seeing the familiar seal on the envelope, Ye Tian was slightly stunned.

Memories belonging to Ye Tian instantly surged in his mind: "A letter from the Xu family?"

Xue Jia replied, smiling, "Take a look. It's very likely written to you by your little fiancee."

Seeing Xue Jia teasing him without minding it at all, Ye Tian felt a little bitter.

Perhaps, in her eyes right now, he was just a little brother from next door.

...

Inside the room.

An Yi tapped his fingers lightly on the table, watching Long Aoxue across from him.

Long Aoxue was a bit nervous. She doubtfully held a chess piece and looked at him with her purple eyes: "Put it here?"

"Idiot, if you put it there, I'll connect five pieces!"

"Then, then I'll put it here!"

"I've connected five pieces on this side too."

An Yi sighed helplessly and put down his piece.

How boring.

Every time he played chess with Long Aoxue, he felt like he was extremely brilliant and incredibly wise.

Ever since this girl woke up, she no longer fell into deep slumber.

She said that the spiritual energy here was abundant, so she didn't need to rely on sleeping to reduce her body's spiritual energy consumption.

As a result, this girl came out more and more frequently, and she could no longer bear staying in the storage space.

Feeling An Yi's disdainful gaze, Long Aoxue said defiantly, "Again!"

"No more, no more!"

An Yi waved his hand.

He still had to go out later to investigate the physical development of the girls in Luo Family Town, write a report, and empathize with the people. Where would he find the time to play chess with this silly girl.

"Then let's bet on something!" Long Aoxue said solemnly.

An Yi scoffed, "Bet on what?"

Long Aoxue's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Bet on spirit cores!"

"Do you have any?" An Yi rolled his eyes at her and asked.

Long Aoxue: "..."

"Then, then let's change it!" Long Aoxue hugged the chessboard and said stubbornly.

An Yi sighed helplessly, "You have nothing, so what do you want to bet?"

"Bet, bet..."

Long Aoxue looked at her own body, suddenly remembered the contents of the chapters in the book An Yi was reading, and said: "Bet on taking off clothes!"

"This... isn't a good idea."

An Yi's throat felt a little dry.

If Long Aoyun knew, he would beat him to death.

But then again, ever since Long Niu learned how to wear clothes, he hadn't seen her like that in a long time...

Ding!

Right at this moment, the system suddenly emitted a ding sound.

"Ding! Main Quest: Defying the Heavens! Quest Reward: Evil Points +100! Fire Element Spiritual Art Mastery (Top Tier)"

Looking at the system quest.

An Yi was slightly stunned.

What the hell, how did a main quest get triggered so suddenly.
