Selling one's daughter for personal gain
Faced with Chen Beiyuan's burning gaze, An Biyu knew very well that she had no room for bargaining and that the trip to Miao territory was inevitable.
Moreover, deep within her heart, the flame of revenge burned constantly.
However, before leaving, she still had one last thought.
"Master, before I leave, I want to take one last look at them in secret."
If there was anyone in this city she couldn't let go of, it was only her daughter and husband.
"Can!"
Chen Beiyuan agreed without hesitation.
He wasn't a cold-hearted person; he wouldn't be so heartless towards his subordinates.
Since An Biyu still had concerns and thoughts, he reassured her.
An Biyu's eyes instantly lit up with joy. She hadn't expected Chen Beiyuan to agree so quickly; she had thought she would be rejected and was prepared for the rejection.
"Master, when can I..."
"There's no time to lose, we can do it now."
Chen Beiyuan stood up from the blood pool, his strong physique instantly exposed to the air, the strong smell of blood permeating his body, forming a layer of scabs.
His eyes suddenly erupted with an eerie, dark purple light, and a terrifying surge of spiritual power instantly enveloped the massive, snoring blood dragon before him.
Anu's body trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes a crack. Then, after sensing Chen Beiyuan's familiar aura, she did not resist and directly transformed into a beam of blood light, entering his brow and becoming a bright and dazzling blood dragon mark.
Deep within his soul, a small, blood-red dragon, fast asleep, yawned and slept even more soundly.
During this time, Chen Beiyuan entered the Chen family's library and found a secret technique that could absorb the soul of dragon beasts.
[Hidden Dragon Technique]
Although he and Anu did not sign a blood oath contract or establish a master-servant relationship, they relied on a special connection that was almost "blood-related" to each other.
As long as Anu does not resist, it is not difficult to absorb her into one's body.
This undoubtedly made things much easier for Chen Beiyuan.
As for whether there are any risks in taking Anu, this silly dragon, into the depths of one's soul?
Sorry, his battle spirit [Abyss] is also in there...
Throughout, Chen Beiyuan preferred to plan carefully before acting, nipping any potential threats in the bud.
"Change your clothes."
An Biyu blushed slightly, stepped forward to remove the scabs from his body, and helped him put on his clothes...
...
A large group of people were blocking the entrance to the Leng family's ancestral home, forcibly surrounding the lonely and weak Leng Ruobing.
Most of these people were members of the Leng family who had abandoned their families when disaster struck, and most of them were Leng Ruobing's elders.
At this moment, these so-called elders had ferocious expressions, spitting as they spoke, their vile words almost overwhelming Leng Ruobing.
"Ruobing, your father is currently unconscious and unable to perform his duties as head of the family. We have already elected a new head of the family, and everyone agrees to let the highly respected Third Uncle take over the position."
"You must hand over this ancestral home of the Leng family. This property belongs to the Leng family. You are a woman and will eventually get married. We will never agree to you taking over the only property of the Leng family."
"Ruobing, we have already arranged a good marriage for you. Young Master Chu has always been thinking about you and is willing to take you as his mistress under his own name. This is an incredible blessing for you!"
"The Chu family is a first-rate family in Yanjing, with the powerful influence of a seventh-rank Battle Emperor. Young Master Chu is not only elegant and handsome, but also the rightful heir of the Chu family. If you marry him, you'll be incredibly lucky; you can just wait to enjoy the good life..."
"We are all of the same bloodline, and we are your elders. We would never harm you; we only want you to have a better life in the future..."
Faced with the well-intentioned advice of these so-called elders and relatives,
A hint of mockery flashed across Leng Ruobing's beautiful, aloof face. She sneered repeatedly, completely ignoring him.
What a load of bull!
This is clearly taking advantage of her father's coma, her mother's mysterious disappearance, and her isolation; they just want to exploit her family's lack of resources.
Moreover, these self-proclaimed elders not only wanted to exploit the Leng family's ancestral home and seize it, but also wanted to sell her for a good price.
How could she possibly agree to that!
"This ancestral home is the legacy passed down from my grandfather's generation. My father transferred it to my name many years ago. It has absolutely nothing to do with you people."
"You can't take it from me, and don't expect me to let you do as you please."
"I'm warning you, I am still a student of Donghua Academy, and behind me is the sacred ground of the empire's highest academy!"
Leng Ruobing's starry eyes swept over the Leng family members before her, showing no sign of backing down.
Immediately, she looked at the obese man next to her, who weighed over 300 pounds and looked like a human-shaped wild boar, her eyes filled with undisguised disgust.
This person was none other than the elegant and handsome young master Chu, whom the Leng family had described.
"Trying to sell me out? Don't even think about it!"
"If you want to sell, sell your mother!"
Leng Ruobing was clearly angered by the so-called elder in front of her, and she immediately swore.
"Leng Ruobing, you heartless and unjust beast, how dare you speak to our elders like that!"
"You unfilial son, Leng Aofeng has truly given birth to a fine daughter!"
"You wretched child! You are a wretched child!"
"The reason the Leng family has fallen to this state is because of you, you jinx! Your father's coma is your fault, and your mother has most likely eloped with some other man..."
"..."
Seeing that Leng Ruobing still dared to resist and insult them, the surrounding Leng family members instantly became furious and started cursing loudly.
A young member of the Leng family was instantly enraged and was about to slap Leng Ruobing, but he was quickly stopped by those around him.
Young Master Chu is still here; if he gets damaged, he won't fetch a good price.
Moreover, Leng Ruobing's identity as a "Donghua student" also makes many people wary.
Donghua Academy is the premier academy in the empire, backed by the imperial family...
"Shut up, all of you!"
Just then, the third uncle, who had been elected as the new head of the family, waved his hand to stop the surrounding noise, and slowly walked out, leaning on his cane.
A pair of cold, triangular eyes stared intently at Leng Ruobing before him:
"Ruobing, although you are still a student of Donghua Academy, don't forget that I am now the head of the Leng family and your elder."
"Your father is currently in a coma. As the head of the family, I am your guardian. I have the right, in the name of the family head, to go to Donghua Academy and submit your withdrawal paperwork!"
As the saying goes, old ginger is spicier!
With a single move, Third Uncle tore Leng Ruobing's greatest "protective charm" to shreds.
"you..."
Leng Ruobing's face suddenly turned pale, her body trembled, and she looked at her third uncle in disbelief.
This was the elder who used to love her the most...
Now, they wish she were dead?!
However, the third uncle didn't even glance at him. He turned to look at the eldest son of the Chu family, and the sinister look on his face vanished instantly. He looked like an old dog looking at its master, his face full of flattery.
"Young Master Chu, rest assured, once this old man has disciplined this ungrateful brat, I will personally send her to your residence."
For the Third Uncle, what did family ties matter? Only interests mattered.
In the past, Leng Ruobing was favored by Chen Beiyuan, so she was the darling of the Leng family.
He naturally had to shamelessly curry favor.
Now, the situation is different, so the only option is to sell it to make a profit.
"Very good. As long as I can take the person away, I will keep everything I promised before."
Young Master Chu raised his head with an arrogant expression, revealing multiple layers of fat on his chin.
He didn't even glance at the old dog in front of him, his beady green eyes greedily fixed on Leng Ruobing, whose eyes were filled with despair.
Snap! Snap! Snap
Just then, a crisp clapping sound suddenly came from behind everyone, breaking the deadlock.
"Great! Great! Great! I never expected to see such a good show!"
