Chapter 159: Chapter 113: Embellishing the Finishing Touch and Providing Timely Assistance (Two-in-One)

It’s a pity that Xi Mengquan’s intentions are unclear, and cannot be fully trusted for now.

"Splash..."

Wen Si rowed the small boat, slowly docking at the shore.

Chen Kuang was the first to step onto the scorched earth of the shore, then extended his hand to Shen Meinan, who poked her head out.

"Let’s go, your family has come."

He was referring, of course, to the brothers Shen Liangcai and Shen Liangce, who had landed in the distance.

Shen Liangcai stepped forward two paces, clasped his hands in greeting, and said:

"Jiangning Branch, Shen Liangcai, here to escort Miss home."

"Miss may rest in Jiangning for two days, we will arrange for a beast caravan to escort Miss to the main family."

Shen Meinan pursed her lips, walked over with a lost expression, took Chen Kuang’s hand to get ashore, and glanced at the completely unfamiliar brothers, whispering, "I don’t want to leave... I can stay with you."

Chen Kuang sighed helplessly, glanced at the brothers, who made a peculiar expression but wisely turned their backs, retreating far away.

Hmm... one ’retreat’ is thirty miles, it’s a physical retreat of three ’retreats’.

After all, if they see something they shouldn’t, even as Shen Family members, there’s no saving them...

Chen Kuang held out his pinky finger, smiling, "Pinky promise, when I have time, I’ll come to the Shen Family to find you."

Shen Meinan, learning from experience, didn’t fall for it, and said with a stern face, "When will you ever have time?"

Chen Kuang thought, if possible, I have to survive for five years, and then I might have time...

By that time, Shen Xingzhu probably wouldn’t be able to stop him.

He coughed twice and said, "Three years."

Chen Kuang thought, if he couldn’t reach Pure Land Jie Lan Temple and become the fake Buddha’s Son in three years, then in five years he probably wouldn’t have the chance to challenge Donghuang and would be dead.

Not too long, not too short, just enough time for a girl coming of age to figure out her feelings.

Or to forget someone...

Shen Meinan frowned at first, thinking three years was too long, but soon loosened up, at least he was willing to make a promise.

Although he was a slick-tongued, cunning villain, he indeed hadn’t broken his word.

The girl also extended her pinky, hooking Chen Kuang’s finger:

"Then it’s settled, three years."

Chen Kuang responded softly, "Settled."

He released her hand and gently said, "Let’s go."

Chen Kuang was about to turn and call the two Shen Family members over, but suddenly Shen Meinan grabbed his hand, pulling him towards her.

"Wait!" The girl looked evasive, muttering softly, "I have one more thing to tell you..."

Chen Kuang turned back, raised his eyebrow and asked, "What’s so important?"

Nervously, Shen Meinan stood on tiptoes, wrapped her arms around his neck, closed her eyes, and pushed herself forward forcefully.

"Thud!"

Her forehead bumped against Chen Kuang’s nose bridge.

Normally, Chen Kuang should feel more pain, but his body was already far tougher than an ordinary Tower Ascension Realm, causing Shen Meinan to yelp, her forehead instantaneously reddening in pain with tears spilling out.

She retreated two steps, covering her forehead with tearful eyes:

"Oh, why are you so hard..."

Chen Kuang was initially stunned, then laughed out loud.

Shen Meinan was upset and somewhat heartbroken from her own blunder, and now being laughed at by Chen Kuang, she couldn’t hold back her tears.

She silently cursed her incompetence, feeling like the most useless fool for messing up such a simple task.

Suddenly, a pair of hands cupped her face, wiping away her tears.

Before Shen Meinan could realize, she saw the young man lowering his head... the moist and soft touch fleeting.

...

In the distant sky.

A cold woman in a Profound Robe of light gauze was flying, suddenly stopping, with a hand to her lips beneath the azure gauze.

Her gaze became cold and murderous, her waist-long sword emitting a buzzing sound.

The nearby mountain peak tilted sharply to the side... the entire mountain, instantly split into two!

Chen Kuang, breaking promises, what kind of gentleman![p]
