Chapter 202: Chapter 155: If He’s Afraid of Being Implicated by You, Then Just Let Him Terminate the Contract
’Damn it. Feng Yinyin’s obsession with Song Xingheng is driving her insane.’
’If she actually believes those rumors, she’ll definitely get people to teach me a brutal lesson. Who knows what other horrible things she might do!’
’My sister’s right. I can’t go back to the Fostering Center.’
The poor girl had no idea that she had already suffered those so-called ’lessons.’ Her memories had simply been erased.
After listening, Jiang Yunnuan had a general understanding of the situation.
She narrowed her eyes and said in a joking tone, "Good, as long as there’s no one you like. From now on, Tangtang, you need to have high standards. An ordinary Beastman isn’t good enough for you."
"Okay, I know. If I ever get a Contractor, I’ll definitely bring him to you for approval. I’ll only go through with it if you say it’s okay."
Jiang Tang nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Although she didn’t think she was anything special, and she didn’t believe an ordinary Beastman was necessarily beneath her, listening to her sister was never the wrong choice.
"Alright, I’ll definitely vet him carefully for you. By the way, that friend of yours who sent the photos and gave you the tip—set up a meeting with her sometime. I want to thank her properly in person."
"I will, Sis. I’ll arrange to meet her tomorrow or the day after."
Jiang Yunnuan nodded. She glanced out the window and, seeing it was getting late, decided it was time to head back.
"You don’t need to clean up here; you can move in right away. If you need anything, you can order it online. We’re heading back now. Come with us so you know where we live."
The villa had always been vacant, but an All-Purpose Robot performed routine maintenance, so it was kept very clean.
"Also, send a message to Jiang Wang and your other brothers. See who’s in Central City and ask them to come stay with you for a few days."
"Okay, thank you, Sis."
Back at home.
Jiang Yunnuan packed some snacks and fruit for Jiang Tang. The snacks were things she’d made in her spare time: beef jerky, cookies, potato chips, french fries, fried chicken, cake, sandwiches, and more.
She packed a box full to the brim, leaving Jiang Tang staring, dumbfounded.
"Sis, what is all this?"
"It’s food. When you don’t feel like drinking Energy Liquid, you can eat this. Come get more from me when you run out; I have plenty. By the way, did any of your brothers message you back? Who’s coming to stay with you tonight?"
At these words, Jiang Tang quickly opened her Light Brain and saw several replies.
"Sis, Eldest Brother and my other brother are both here. They’re coming to stay with me together tonight. They’re already on their way and will be here soon."
"Good. Wait a little longer, then. Have them pick you up from here."
A little over ten minutes later, Jiang Yan and Jiang Wang appeared outside the villa.
Jiang Yunnuan invited them in.
Ever since the original owner of her body had come of age and been taken in by Fu Yuan and the others, this was the first time her brothers had ever visited. No, to be precise, they hadn’t even known where Jiang Yunnuan lived until today.
"Ah Nuan~"
"Sis~"
The two brothers greeted her one after the other. Then they just stared at her, dumbfounded. The disappearance of the mark on her face had clearly left them utterly shocked.
Jiang Yunnuan paid no mind to their stares. She frowned, her eyes fixed on their tattered clothes and the countless wounds and bloodstains covering their bodies.
"How did you get these injuries? Why haven’t you treated them if they’re this serious?"
"Uh, Eldest Brother and I just got back from a mission. We haven’t had time to deal with it yet. Don’t worry, Sis. There are a lot of wounds, but none of them are deep. They just look worse than they are. We’ll take care of them in a bit."
Hearing her, Jiang Wang snapped back to his senses and replied in a low voice, his head bowed.
Jiang Yan didn’t say anything, his eyes filled with astonishment.
’She’s actually worried about us?’
’He’d heard from Jiang Wang and Jiang Tang that she had changed a lot, that she was completely different from before, but he hadn’t believed it.’
’But now it seemed she truly had undergone a world-shaking transformation from the arrogant, callous person she used to be, the one who treated her own family like strangers.’
"Wait here a moment."
She said this and left before they could react. When she returned, she was holding several medicine bottles, which she pressed into Jiang Yan’s and Jiang Wang’s hands.
"My Healing ability is unusable for now, so I can’t treat your injuries. But this medicine works very well, too. Go ahead and take care of yourselves."
"Thanks, Sis. We’ll head back to Tangtang’s place, then. She said you gave her a house nearby. We’ll go check it out."
Jiang Wang took the medicine bottle and tactfully excused themselves.
Jiang Yunnuan didn’t try to make them stay.
Although their injuries weren’t serious, delaying treatment would do more harm than good. It was best to handle it quickly.
After seeing them off, Jiang Yunnuan turned and went back to the living room. Suddenly, her feet left the floor as she was swept into a princess carry. Her senses were filled with a familiar masculine scent.
"Nuannuan, it’s gotten dark. Let’s go do something... meaningful."
His low, bewitching voice echoed in her ear, but for once, Jiang Yunnuan wasn’t tempted. She gave him a light punch.
"I’m not in the mood."
"Why not? Isn’t your sister all settled in?"
Fu Yuan frowned, confused.
Jiang Yunnuan sighed. "Tangtang is settled, but this isn’t over. I injured all those girls and destroyed their Cultivation..."
"What I did was vicious. The Fostering Center will definitely report it to the authorities. Even though we covered our tracks perfectly, there’s so much advanced technology these days. I’m worried they’ll trace it back to me. We should make a plan and find an escape route, just in case, so we’re not caught off guard."
’So that’s why she wasn’t in the mood! It was because of this!’
’Wasn’t she just worrying for nothing?’
Fu Yuan lowered his head and kissed her lips. "You don’t need one. I’m your escape route. With my current Cultivation, if I want to take you away, no one can stop me."
’If they really do trace it back to her, at worst, he’ll just take her to live at the bottom of the sea.’
’The ocean is his domain. If anyone dares to pursue her into the sea, he’ll guarantee they’re all wiped out—a one-way trip from which they’ll never return!’
"What about Si Xie?"
"It’s an equal contract anyway. If he’s afraid of being dragged down with you, then just let him go through with Contract Termination!"
Jiang Yunnuan: "..."
"That’s not what I meant!"
"There’s no need to say anything else. As your Contractor, if he can’t protect you when you’re in danger, the least he can do is not drag you down, right?"
Of course, Fu Yuan knew what she meant.
’She just wanted him to promise that if it came to that, he would take Si Xie with them. But that was the last thing he wanted.’
’He couldn’t even begin to describe how much he hoped Si Xie would initiate Contract Termination.’
’If this situation could force her into Contract Termination with Si Xie, he would be absolutely thrilled. Why would he possibly do anything to prevent that?’
"Enough. Right now, you belong to me. You’re not allowed to think about any of that."
He carried her upstairs, and in the blink of an eye, they were in the bathroom.
By the time Jiang Yunnuan came to her senses, her clothes had been completely stripped off.
Her back was pressed against the cold wall as he pinned her there, kissing her neck with a passionate, domineering fervor that left a trail of vivid marks.
His kisses moved lower, his warm fingers teasing her with patient skill.
CRACK...
Suddenly, the Energy in the air began to fluctuate. Fu Yuan’s eyes snapped open, every nerve in his body instantly tensing.
’This is bad. Someone’s here... and they’re incredibly powerful!’
