Chapter 425 - 425 357 Lady you dont want to

Chapter 425: Chapter 357 Lady, you don’t want to…. Chapter 425: Chapter 357 Lady, you don’t want to…. Of course, Chen Yuan was still able to resist such enchanting temptation. Although he couldn’t claim to be indifferent to women, his extensive experience on the battlefield had given him considerable resolve.

He said in a deep voice,

“Lady Xu’s visit so late at night might draw criticism. Please return.”

The other party sneaking around, especially at night, couldn’t help but give him pause. Operating under the principle that less is more, Chen Yuan outright refused.

“Envoy Chen, I am here to propose a deal to you. Rest assured, if you are unwilling, I will leave immediately and not linger,”

she said, then pushed the door open.

Moonlight streamed down, and the lady in the black dress stood at the doorway like a fairy descended from heaven. Paired with her charming figure, Chen Yuan’s brother couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

Without getting up from his bed to greet her, he remained seated with his legs crossed and pointed to the seat in front of him,

“Lady Xu, please sit.”

Lady Xu moved softly, unconsciously exuding immense charm with her movements, entirely different from Shen Yanshu and Su Ziyue, even more captivating.

“It’s said that Envoy Chen possesses extraordinary talent, rarely matched by others, but in my view, it’s not just that. Your talent is indeed extraordinary, but so is your diligent cultivation,”

Lady Xu’s voice was no longer as dignified and beautiful as it was during the day but rather soft and delicate, as if whispering into Chen Yuan’s ear.

“Lady Xu overpraises me. Diligent practice is indeed the true path for a martial artist. What are these hardships to me? However, it’s truly remarkable for a lady like yourself, to have raised Brother Ouyang from childhood and now aim to position him as Valley Master,”

Chen Yuan said calmly.

His gaze traveled up and down Lady Xu’s body—it wasn’t lewd but more like admiring a beautiful object.

Lady Xu did not feel offended by it.

But still, she couldn’t help but cover up a bit of the snow-white skin that was exposed under his intense gaze.

“I don’t come imposing without reason. Lady Xu, please speak straightforwardly,”

after a brief exchange of pleasantries, Chen Yuan got straight to the point.

“Envoy Chen speaks openly and directly, so I will not beat around the bush. To be honest, I would like you to help my son and I kill someone,”

Lady Xu said, looking directly at Chen Yuan.

Her bright eyes shone like pearls.

“The person you want to kill is Ouyang Tuo, isn’t it?”

“Yes,”

Lady Xu did not show any sign of surprise.

She had always thought of Chen Yuan as a clever man. It was not difficult to spot the conflict between them during the day.

“Why should I help you?”

Chen Yuan glanced at her as if scorning her.

He wasn’t someone who lost his way at the sight of a woman, and certainly wouldn’t agree just because she asked him to, even if she lamented the alleged wrongdoings of the other party,

but what did that have to do with him?

In fact, he had committed even more brutal and fierce deeds than Ouyang Tuo.

“I naturally wouldn’t expect you to help me for nothing. If you have any conditions, just state them.” Facing a man who prioritized interests, she needed to show her cards straight away.

“What do you think I want?” Chen Yuan asked.

“Spiritual Weapons?” Lady Xu inquired.

“At the Divine Weapon Conference in a few days, I am determined to obtain that Spiritual Sword, so I am not lacking it,” Chen Yuan shook his head.

“Primordial Crystals?”

“I have destroyed all the Jianghu forces in Tangshan Prefecture, reaping considerable benefits, so I am not lacking.”

“Resources?”

“I have the backing of the court. What cultivation resources can’t I obtain? I am not lacking.”

For a moment, Lady Xu fell silent.

“See, Lady Xu, you still aren’t sincere. The things you’ve suggested can’t move me. Why should I help you get rid of Ouyang Tuo?

That old man is a formidable adversary,” Chen Yuan said with a light laugh.

“If there’s something Envoy Chen desires, just say it. If it’s within my power, I will not refuse,” said Lady Xu in a grave tone.

“Lady, is this how someone requests help? You are asking me to take action, not what I want, but what do you have that could intrigue me?”

Chen Yuan slowly got out of bed, moved close to Lady Xu, and reached out to directly hook her chin, looking down at her from above.

“You conceal your face behind a veil while asking for my help. Do you consider that sincere?”

Chen Yuan was not particularly interested in this once celebrated beauty of Shuzhou; his behavior was simply to gain leverage in their interaction.

She had come to seek his help but showed no sign of earnestness.

Without anything valuable that could intrigue Chen Yuan, how could he be easily persuaded?

To truly capture his interest, she needed to offer something he couldn’t refuse, like… a collection of superior Treasures continuously supplied to Tangshan Prefecture.

Or… the truly rare Spiritual Weapons hidden inside Hidden Soldier Valley!

Although Hidden Soldier Valley had fallen into decline, it had once flourished. As a power specializing in forging Weapons, it certainly possessed some hidden assets.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have brought out three Spiritual Weapons at a Divine Weapon Conference.

He had reason to believe that Hidden Soldier Valley still held better treasures!

Lady Xu looked up, not brushing away Chen Yuan’s presumptuous behavior, but rather staring intently at him, and suddenly smiled,

“My modest looks probably won’t catch the eye of the Envoy… if the Envoy is reluctant, then I must seek help elsewhere.”

“Hmm?”

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow, placed his hand on Lady Xu’s shoulder, and leaned in to whisper,

“My lady, you wouldn’t want Ouyang Tuo to learn of this, would you?”
