Chapter 1146: Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…
Jun Yinglian had an overwhelming urge to unleash her wrath upon this shameless man.
She clenched her teeth, attempting to maintain her composure. "Of course! It's perfectly reasonable for a man to have multiple wives and concubines. So, how many do you have now?" she inquired.
Cha Eun Xiao guffawed wildly, believing he had successfully cleared the greatest hurdle. After pondering for a moment, he responded, "You're the first, naturally. Well, actually, you are..."
As he spoke, he sensed something was amiss. Pausing, he hesitated, and that's when Jun Yinglian chimed in, her curiosity piqued. "Oh, I'm the first, and who's the second? And the third? You must have more! You've been cultivating that absurd martial art for a lifetime, and you need to make it up somehow, right?"
Cha Eun Xiao nodded in agreement, and she pressed for details. "Tell me, who are they?"
Reluctantly, Cha Eun Xiao revealed, "Cha Eun Xiao's fiancée is the second. The young man who once inhabited this body, Cha Eun Xiao, was engaged to a girl from a different family. She was deeply in love with me and even risked her life. However, she was taken away by her master to learn some enigmatic martial art. I don't know when I'll see her again, but she must be the second. As for the third..."
Suddenly, he felt an overwhelming sense of foreboding, as though he were being stalked by a murderous beast.
Perplexed, he wondered why he felt such an ominous presence. He stopped, attempting to decipher the cause of his unease.
Finally, he realized there was no immediate threat. [Why am I so on edge?] he pondered, yet the feeling persisted.
[What's going on?] he wondered.
[Could it be that there really is a second and third...] he thought to himself, only to conclude that such a notion was unfounded.
Jun Yinglian clenched her teeth. [The fiancée was already engaged before he inhabited the man's body. I can overlook that, but a third?]
Feigning indifference, she questioned, "Why the pause? Please continue. I suspect there might be more. The fourth? The fifth? Is there a sixth?"
Cha Eun Xiao scratched his head and shrugged his shoulders. "No, there's no fourth, fifth, or sixth. It's just two at the moment. Not too many, I think. What do you think?"
Her teeth grinding, Jun Yinglian nodded in apparent agreement. "Indeed, not too many at all," she replied, though her heavy nods concealed her rising anger.
Within her, a fiery anger began to burn, and her eyes betrayed her intent.
[You scoundrel! After all you put me through in your pathetic previous life, when you finally have a chance to make amends, you seek solace in the arms of other women? And you dare to mention it casually? You even say you don't think it's too many! Are you planning to add more in the future?]
[We just met each other. I've just discovered your true identity. I'm delighted you're still alive. I've yet to even process all of this. Meanwhile, you're making plans for more concubines...]
[Do you think I can't survive without you?]
[Yes, I told you before that I wouldn't mind sharing you with others if you had concubines, but this is not the right time for that!]
[Why can't you at least discuss it with me first?]
Jun Yinglian forced herself to maintain her composure, pretending to be nonchalant. "Please, continue," she urged. "I'm sure you have more to say. You claimed you'd be honest with me, and yet you stopped after telling me just half the story. That's not quite as honorable or open-hearted as Xiao Monarch, is it?"
She wore a smile that masked her true feelings.
Cha Eun Xiao recognized something was amiss in the atmosphere. Nervously, he attempted to mend the situation. "Lian Lian..."
In response, Jun Yinglian snapped, "Shut up! Who do you think you are to address me as 'Lian Lian'?"
Cha Eun Xiao found himself in a rather intense situation. He had heard a profanity uttered by Jun Yinglian and was immediately gripped by fear. Eun Xiao knew that Jun Yinglian was always mindful of her language and rarely used foul words. However, the moment she did, it was a clear sign that her anger was about to erupt, and things were bound to take a turn for the worse.
"Pah! There is only one way to convince me," Jun Yinglian declared, emitting an icy aura. "You have one method to make me believe you're Xiao Monarch."
Cha Eun Xiao's spirit was stirred, and he asked, "What method would that be?"
"Fight me!" Jun Yinglian fixed her gaze on him with eyes brimming with a murderous intent. She gritted her teeth and spoke with intensity, "Words are just words. Xiao Monarch's martial arts, his experiences, his way of thinking... those things are unalterable!"
"Come on!" Jun Yinglian suddenly adopted a fighting stance. "Show me if you know Xiao Monarch's distinctive techniques!"
As she spoke, she delivered a palm strike with air currents following.
Cha Eun Xiao was terrified and took a step back. He stammered, "Lian Lian, I'm only at level one of the Dao Origin Stage... I can't possibly match you."
"Just do your best. I'll go easy on you. You won't be seriously harmed," Jun Yinglian assured him through clenched teeth.
"Alright, I'll give it a try. Behold my 'Laughing Upon Mountains'..." Cha Eun Xiao's spirits were high as he turned aside and executed a fist strike, mirroring the way Xiao Monarch would have done it.
However...
– Puff! –
He received a swift kick to the abdomen and was sent flying backward. All he managed to exclaim was, "Ahhh!"
It seemed that even though his strike appeared impressive, it lacked the power and speed required. He deserved the kick!
"One strike is not enough! Come on!" Jun Yinglian advanced.
"Alright, let me try my 'Lau...'"
– Puff! –
"Ahhhhhh!"
This time, he was sent flying after receiving a punch to the face.
The blow had landed on his handsome face, leaving him startled. He didn't dare to attempt any more attacks and instead relied on the "Laughter in Skyline" technique to keep evading. Whenever he found an opening, he executed moves that were all borrowed from Xiao Monarch's arsenal. He executed them swiftly and dodged away with haste.
Xiao Monarch's techniques were undeniably formidable, and he had been a peak-level Dao Origin Stage cultivator in his prime. However, Cha Eun Xiao had only reached level one of the Dao Origin Stage and was facing Jun Yinglian, who was at the pinnacle of level nine. To make matters more challenging, she was intimately familiar with every move Xiao Monarch had ever used. Thus, it was quite a task for him to merely evade her onslaught.
As expected, after a brief period of evading...
– Bang, bang, bang… –
-Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang… –
