Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Setting Up the Great Formation_1
As long as Pei Chunlan could subdue Qin Feng, relying on that old woman’s charm, it wouldn’t take a month before his strength would greatly diminish.
By then, it would be much easier for Zhen Haoren to deal with Qin Feng and snatch away Xue Xiaochan!
Zhen Haoren stared intently at Pei Chunlan. The more he looked, the more he found this woman alluring, the more he wanted to have a taste of her.
How could a woman of such ripe maturity be compared with an innocent young girl?
Of course, those eyes of Zhen Haoren did not escape Pei Chunlan’s notice.
Being stared at by an old lecher like that, Pei Chunlan was extremely displeased, to say the least.
She glared daggers at Zhen Haoren with eyes full of murderous intent and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Looking at your peerless elegance! If I can’t have Xue Xiaochan, getting an old beauty like you isn’t a bad choice either!"
While Zhen Haoren was flirting, he was completely unaware that the Hundred-Color Snake had already slithered out from under Pei Chunlan’s skirt and had made its way to his feet, crawling up into his trouser leg.
A slight chill came from his thigh, accompanied by something wriggling.
Only then did Zhen Haoren realize what was happening, but it was already too late.
Because the Hundred-Color Snake had unceremoniously taken a bite at him.
"Ah!"
The agonizing pain forced a scream out of Zhen Haoren.
He quickly clutched at the spot where the Hundred-Color Snake had bitten him. And the snake that bit him had already slithered back to Pei Chunlan’s side.
"You wicked old hag, you’re so vicious! All I did was make a joke, and you want to cripple me?"
"That’s a lesson for you, if you dare be disrespectful to me again, it won’t be so polite next time."
"You... you’re utterly unreasonable!"
Zhen Haoren didn’t dare to talk tough anymore.
It was bad enough getting bitten once, but getting bitten a second time would just be stupidity.
Zhen Haoren could feel that the snake had indeed shown some mercy. It had only bitten him, and the fangs did not release much venom.
Otherwise, he would have been ruined by now, and not just feeling a sting like the prick of a needle.
Even though he was taught a lesson by Pei Chunlan, Zhen Haoren didn’t hate her at all. The more this woman dominated him, the more he wanted to dominate her back, to teach her a lesson in a man’s way.
He had to find an opportunity to make Pei Chunlan willingly submit.
He wanted this woman to personally heal his wound, the wound left by the bite of the Hundred-Color Snake.
Such a severe wound could not be healed in one treatment. It would require at least hundreds, if not thousands, of times.
And each time, it had to be done to his satisfaction!
Zhen Haoren’s gaze was off, even more so was the expression on his face. Pei Chunlan caught it once again.
She knew this old lecher was thinking all sorts of dirty thoughts.
Therefore, her face darkened instantly, and she asked, "You haven’t been taught enough of a lesson? Want to be disciplined again?"
"No, no."
Zhen Haoren hurriedly gave a flattering smile, pretending to be submissive, and said, "I was just curious, what plan do you have to rescue Qin Feng from this pile of rocks?
Then I can also figure out if I can give a little help or something.
After all, we are partners now, aren’t we? Let’s not hurt each other when we can win together."
"Your legs aren’t getting weak, are they?" Pei Chunlan asked.
"How could a big man like me have weak legs?"
"Since your legs aren’t weak, then go stand over there—stand upright." Pei Chunlan pointed to the northwest corner and commanded, "Stand there like a lance for me."
Zhen Haoren’s face was filled with suspicion as he asked, "Stand there for what?"
"I’m about to set up a formation, and you’re going to be the focal point!"
"Act as the fulcrum of the formation? Is it dangerous?" Zhen Haoren asked again.
Pei Chunlan, that woman, she truly has a heart of a viper! She must be guarded against.
"If you are scared, if you are not a man, then step aside." Pei Chunlan looked at him with disdain, as if it didn’t matter to her whether he was there or not.
When it comes to dealing with men, she has plenty of tricks up her sleeve.
A Zhen Haoren, could she not handle him?
Zhen Haoren knew that Pei Chunlan was manipulating him, but he was willing to be manipulated by this woman.
Because he was truly very curious; curious about what kind of grand formation this woman was going to set up, what kind of big move was she going to make?
The most formidable person in the Pei Family was none other than this Pei Chunlan.
Today was the first time Zhen Haoren had seen her, and naturally, he wanted to gain a deeper understanding of her.
The more thoroughly he understood her, the easier it would be to deal with her in the future!
There were not a few secrets hidden by the Pei Family, related not only to the Black Dragon but even possibly to the Qiuniu beneath Qiuniu Mountain.
Although there were rumors that the Qiuniu had ascended to heaven, after all, it was the dragon’s eldest son!
But, the ascended Qiuniu had definitely left behind a lot of treasure within Qiuniu Mountain.
If he could explore and even obtain some of it, for cultivation, it would surely be like giving wings to a tiger!
Zhen Haoren was willing to stay in Anlong Town for sixty years because he aspired to reach enlightenment and ascend.
If he could get the treasure left by the Qiuniu, achieve ultimate cultivation, then not only would Pei Chunlan be his, but Xue Xiaochan would also be his.
Even Qin Feng’s Heaven Yang Physique, he could snatch it all for himself.
"I say, Pei Chunlan, if you want me to act as the fulcrum of the formation, can’t you be a bit more polite? When you ask someone for help, you should at least show the attitude of asking for help.
Right now, we have a partnership. As long as you don’t harm me, I’m not refusing to help you!"
While grumbling with his old mouth, Zhen Haoren stepped into the position designated by Pei Chunlan.
Pei Chunlan gave him an extremely disdainful look and cursed, "Despicable!"
"I help you, and you still call me despicable?"
"Stand up straight for me, like a javelin, don’t slouch and hunch your back, looking like some useless old thing."
"I say Pei Chunlan, you’ve never even used me, so what makes you say I’m useless, huh?"
"Still being cheeky with me, are you?"
"Alright, alright, I’ll stop talking. I’ll shut up, is that okay?"
Zhen Haoren obediently stood there.
His verbal sparring with Pei Chunlan seemed to give him a slight sense of being in love.
Zhen Haoren had slept with countless women in his life, many of whom were beautiful, but they were all fleeting encounters.
He had never had any true feelings for any of them.
After all, the methods he used to bed women were all unspeakable.
As for emotional communication, there wasn’t any at all.
In a moment of distraction, Zhen Haoren even had the thought of perhaps marrying Pei Chunlan and then practicing that technique from the Spirit Sect together.
While practicing that technique wouldn’t lead to immortality, attaining longevity and living two to three hundred years was not impossible.
Seeing Zhen Haoren standing there in a daze, Pei Chunlan knew he must be lost in wild thoughts.
However, she couldn’t be bothered with him.
Pei Chunlan then brought her hands together, making a strange shape.
She lay her entire body on the ground and began to twist it there.
Then she stuffed both thumbs into her mouth, spread her little fingers into the shape of an eight, looking like a snake sticking out its tongue.
