The 46th Grandma

  The condition set by Nangong Xiangxue made Tang Yan drool, his mind wandering who-knows-where, until he was startled back to reality by a few gentle coughs from Zi Lan, the little junior sister beside him. She then gave him a stern look, as if warning him. This made Tang Yan feel embarrassed, and he scratched the back of his head, first gazing at the icy beauty Murong Qianhan, then smilingly glancing at Nangong Xiangxue, that bold and outgoing beauty.

  "You're as cold as a thousand frosts, it seems you don't have any sincerity at all. When negotiating with others, at the very least, take off your veil and let them see your face." Tang Yan said, wanting to see her facial expression.

  "Hmph, you're looking for death!" Murong Qianhan heard Tang Yan use the same teasing words on her that he had used on Nangong Xiangxue, and she coldly hummed a sound, a sword pointing towards Tang Yan striking over.

  Two old men standing beside Nan Gong Xiang Xue had been silent all along, but when they saw Mu Rong Qian Han strike out a gentle sword at Tang Yan, their bodies moved slightly and appeared in front of Tang Yan. A withered, wrinkled hand grasped Mu Rong Qian Han's sword, blocking it without counterattacking, and only warned her, saying: "Little girl, don't be too excessive!"

  Tang Yan stared at the old man's palm, where a faint white smoke was rising, and his face turned pale. In his heart, he thought: "Damn it, this woman is really terrifying! Just wanting to take a look at his face, I'm lucky someone helped me block her, otherwise I would have been hurt."

  "Hey, I was just joking, don't take it so seriously, okay? Alright, I've decided, I'm going to the Imperial City of Zi Long!" Tang Yan replied to the two.

  "It's true, it's great, I knew men are lustful, Father King was right, using a beauty to warm his bed is a good method!" Nangong Xiangxue heard Tang Yan say as they returned to the Imperial Capital.

  "I haven't finished speaking yet, what are you so happy about? I'm talking about going to the Imperial Academy of the Violet Dragon Empire!" Tang Yan said.

  "Zi Long Academy, okay, I'm also studying there, so let's settle on that. Tomorrow we'll return to the Imperial Capital, don't bother with this cold-blooded woman. Listen to me, she's really not good at all, always killing people left and right. If you go back with her, in a few days you'll be hanging around her house!" Nan Gong Xiang Xue continued to add fuel to the fire in order to win over Tang Yan, this mysterious person.

  "Hmph, you're so self-righteous, my task is also complete. Xuan Yuan Yue, are you coming with me?" Murong Qianhan said to Murong Qianhan without wanting to argue with this little demon girl anymore.

  "I'm going to Zilong Academy to find the principal!" Xuan Yuan Yue said, then looked at Tang Yan's expression again, and unexpectedly found that Tang Yan was also looking back at her with a smile.

  People can't fight for it, the Black Dragon Jade Order is already in hand. Now Mu Rong Qian Han doesn't have to stay any longer. However, when leaving, a beautiful and icy pair of eyes stared at Tang Yan fiercely, as if warning him about something. Then she left this small town and returned to her Mu Rong family home, also needing to report what Tang Yan said earlier to the family master and elder.

  After Mu Rong Qian Han left, the two old men moved into her room. Nan Gong Xiang Xue princess and Zi Lan were squeezed together in the room, constantly asking about Tang Yan's affairs on Zi Lan's body. Zi Lan thought that leaving the mountain forest would be a good place to rest, but she didn't expect to be entangled by this little princess, asking non-stop questions. If they didn't answer her, it wouldn't be good if she gave them a crime or something.

  Next to him, Tang Yan sat down, he was very unhappy now. If it wasn't for Dou Huang's help in blocking a move from the soft sword earlier, he would have been injured already. Now another little demon girl appeared who was even stronger than him. This made Tang Yan feel a lot of pressure, with this little demon girl by his side, she could threaten Zi Lan's safety at any time. Who knew if what Nan Gong Xiang Xue said and did were the same thing?

  Tang Yan is now a one-star Grandmaster on the surface, but in reality, he has already become a two-star Grandmaster and is about to break through to the second star. Facing powerful enemies, Tang Yan hasn't looked at "Ancient Alchemy" for days, instead practicing meditation every day, cultivating the Devouring Dragon Technique's mental method, as well as the two moves Snow Spirit passed on to him. Although it's still three hours before dawn, Tang Yan feels at ease meditating in the snowy realm, knowing that two old men are guarding outside.

  "Just give me one more day and I can break through to 3-star Great Douluo!" Tang Yan said, sitting cross-legged on the snowy ground.

  One day is equivalent to twelve days in the snowy realm, and before that, he had been closed in a mountain cave for several days. Calculated by the time in the snowy realm, Tang Yan had already practiced for almost two months. Two months of practice to advance one level, there's nothing to be proud of, because on this continent, geniuses are not scarce. The aristocratic families have the most geniuses, and some even break through several levels in a month. However, most of them rely on spiritual elixirs and magical medicines to aid them, whereas Tang Yan relies solely on his own efforts, practicing one move at a time, one step at a time.

  The next day.

  Tang Yan woke up from his meditation at 9 am. The three beauties on the bed had not woken up yet, as they had chatted too late into the night yesterday. Tang Yan did not deliberately wake them up but instead went downstairs to ask the shopkeeper to prepare a large amount of clean water, food, and pastries for him. Because he did not want to almost starve to death in the mountains when being chased again next time, this time he prepared many things and put them all in his spatial ring.

  "Boss, business is really good here!" Tang Yan said, sitting at the table eating breakfast and looking around at the crowded customers.

  "Hehe, I don't know why we have so much business today either. So many customers came in early this morning!" The shopkeeper replied to Tang Yan with a smile.

  When Tang Yan heard the shopkeeper's words, he looked around and found that they were staring at him tightly as if he was a rare beauty. They didn't move their eyes until Tang Yan turned his gaze to them. Pretending nothing had happened, they lowered their heads and continued eating the buns on the table. When Tang Yan withdrew his gaze, they stared at him again, along with the two-meter-long giant sword behind him.

  "Damn it, won't they be coming too quickly?" Tang Yan knew that these people were targeting him.

  Soon, the two old men upstairs and Nan Gong Xiangxue came down, saw Tang Yan this pig eating and drinking there, and scolded him: "Get up, you didn't even call us, I'm starving to death, when we return to the Imperial Capital, I'll make you pay!"

  "Are you planning to catch me and tie me up on your bed, play with whips and dripping wax after I return to the Imperial Capital?" Tang Yan asked Nan Gong Xiang Xue, this little demon girl.

  "How did you know I was thinking that!" Not a hint of embarrassment, no shame at all, but instead a lively and innocent smile directed at Tang Yan.

  "Little sister, let's have dinner. After dinner, we'll rest here for a day and make up for the hardships of our escape," Tang Yan said to Zi Lan, his little junior sister.

  "Hmm!" Zilan didn't say anything, just nodded and sat beside Tang Yan eating breakfast.

  Tang Yan did this because he decided to break through the two-star Grandmaster and leave, with an additional star being an extra guarantee. The power of a one-star is twice that of the original Dou Qi. To put it simply, ten two-star Grandmasters wouldn't be a match for a three-star Grandmaster, but most importantly, it's about martial skills.

  The two old men sitting next to them, like Tang Yan just now, looked around and frowned, as if they knew these guys. However, the two old men didn't bother with them, because he knew that these trash were just pawns, killing them would be useless. Unless their master appeared, now the two of them were also waiting for their master.

  The empire has informants, these sects also have them. After Mu Rong Qian Han left this small town, the informants had already taken notice of this place. In the morning, they found out about the identities of the guests staying here from the shopkeeper. They didn't make a move because three of them were from the imperial palace, so the matter was waiting for their sect leader's message.

  What about their sect master? Now their sect master is just like the old guys in Jianzongmen, watching from the sidelines.

  "What about the other sects?" Jianzong asked.

  "They are just like us, watching from the sidelines. How can we afford to offend someone from the Wang Clan of Nangong? If things go wrong, we might be destroyed by the various ancient families!" The informant replied to him.

  "I knew this, right? Wasn't the Heilong Jade Order taken back by Mu Rongqian?" asked Jianzong again.

  "It should be!"

  "It's really cheap for them, forget it. You spread the news and let them think of a way to lure those two old guys away, then we can snatch that little kid. As for the princess, as long as she doesn't get hurt, the South Palace family won't be able to do anything to us!" Jianzong thought about it and finally decided to do so.

  Don't underestimate the two old men beside Nan Gong Xiang Xue, they are the two six-star Dou Huang sent by the palace, their strength is almost the same as that of the various sect masters. The various sect masters are not afraid of their power, but rather the forces behind them, the Nan Gong family has been the imperial family for generations, the ruling family of the Zi Long Empire. The aura of the Purple Dragon Emperor is not bragging, especially Nan Gong's ancestor, whose strength is even more mysterious and unpredictable.

  "Zilan, Xuan Yuan Yue, you two get some rest now. We'll continue our journey tomorrow!" Tang Yan said to them after he and Zilan's junior sister returned to their room.

  "Hmm!" Zi Lan, with panda eyes, had been on the run with Tang Yan for these days and had lost a lot of weight, which pained Tang Yan's heart, and her chest also seemed to have shrunk along with it.

  "Aren't you afraid of those guys outside? Don't worry, we'll protect you!" said Nangong Xiangxue beside him.

  "No, I just want to recover a bit of strength!" Tang Yan replied to her.

  "I thought you were a softie!" Murong Rong's face turned icy cold, but Nangong Xiangxue wasn't afraid of Tang Yan being snatched away by someone else. However, in her heart, she was thinking: "You little scamp, just wait till we get back to the Imperial City, you'll be sorry for teasing me!"

  Women are the most vengeful, last night Tang Yan teased her, although she didn't say anything in her mouth, but she was already angry in her heart, however there is one thing that makes her very unhappy. He gave those from Yan Fu to him, he all don't want, making him suspect whether Tang Yan is a glass egg or not? Or does he have a special affection for the little princess of the boxing school?

  "Princess, our people have brought back intelligence that those old guys are preparing to make a move against us. If it really comes down to a fight, you must be careful, you're a precious gem and can't afford to get hurt!" The two elderly men said to her.
