Chapter 563 - 562: So It Was Someone from the Chu Family
"Hehe, no wonder, turns out you’re from the Chu Family." Chen Tianlong said disdainfully, "But do you really think you can handle me on your own? You should realize we’re two against one. Do you think you stand a chance of winning?"
Clearly, Chen Tianlong had noticed that Chu Huaifeng had some concerns about Shen Yan, confirming that Chu Huaifeng was afraid of Shen Yan.
As soon as Chen Tianlong finished speaking, Chu Huaifeng’s brows furrowed. If Shen Yan was precisely as Chen Tianlong described, she must be concealing her strength. Just from that earlier kick, Chu Huaifeng felt some pressure. If she goes all out, together with Chen Tianlong’s sneak attack, it’s hard to say who’d end up lying here.
However, at this moment, Chu Huaifeng noticed Shen Yan’s bleary eyes, looking as if she were drunk.
Chu Huaifeng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, showing a satisfied smile. No matter how strong she was, there was no need to worry, because she was drunk; even if she could fight, it would just be drunken boxing.
Thinking this, Chu Huaifeng became overjoyed and shouted, "Kid, don’t fool me. Your friend over there is already dead drunk. Are you sure it’s two against one?"
"Hehe, drunk?"
Chen Tianlong knew that Chu Huaifeng was afraid of Shen Yan. He himself was definitely no match for Chu Huaifeng because Chen Tianlong noticed that Chu Huaifeng was wearing gloves, probably to prevent Chen Tianlong from absorbing his Powerful Qi.
After the last battle with those from the Chu Family, they must have returned and spread the word about his strange abilities, hence this precaution.
Given this, direct confrontation was not an option, so Chen Tianlong quickly thought of a plan. He wrapped his arm around Shen Yan and said, "Darling, come here for a moment."
"Hehe, okay."
The drunken Shen Yan was incredibly adorable; as soon as Chen Tianlong called her, she stumbled directly over, her steps unsteady.
But Chen Tianlong, quick on his feet, wouldn’t let her fall. He swiftly turned and caught her in his embrace, and simultaneously, with a speed too fast to cover one’s ears, he swiftly tapped a few acupoints on her, bringing her to immediate sobriety.
"Ah?"
Shen Yan, looking at herself being tightly held by Chen Tianlong, was quite surprised.
"Shen Yan, don’t move. We have a Chu Family enemy in front of us. He means harm. Right now, he thinks you’re a formidable expert, so just follow my lead and bluff him for a bit, okay?"
Chen Tianlong whispered quickly into Shen Yan’s ear as they hugged.
Shen Yan was taken aback but glanced aside, seeing indeed a man in his forties staring intently at them. He seemed wary of something, instantly understanding Chen Tianlong’s words.
So, Shen Yan nodded and followed Chen Tianlong’s guidance.
Upon receiving Shen Yan’s signal, Chen Tianlong began his plan. He slightly repositioned Shen Yan and said to her, "Darling, this person doesn’t know what’s good for him, even claiming that we two couldn’t beat him."
"Oh? Someone this insensible? I just struck randomly earlier, and he dares to challenge us? Must have a death wish."
Shen Yan was naturally strong and figured worst come to worst, she’d just eliminate this person.
"Heh, yeah, he’s quite confident. But I think you shouldn’t use full power later, I’m afraid you’ll kill him outright, and that wouldn’t be any fun, plus the police might get involved." Chen Tianlong started coordinating with Shen Yan to deceive Chu Huaifeng.
Indeed, Chu Huaifeng originally wasn’t overly concerned, but hearing Chen Tianlong and Shen Yan’s duet, he became somewhat vexed. At this point, Chu Huaifeng was feeling apprehensive.
After all, just now that woman was drunk, but now suddenly so clear-headed. It could only be two possible reasons.
Either she was pretending to be drunk, not drunk at all. Or, she was incredibly powerful, able to dispel drunkenness in an instant.
You can’t blame Chu Huaifeng for thinking this way; Chen Tianlong’s unique acupoint technique was a lost Divine Skill spoken of for years. So, Chu Huaifeng not knowing about such an amazing skill was normal.
However, Chen Tianlong’s Divine Skill would work for those nearly equal in power, but for someone like Chu Huaifeng, definitely not.
After thinking for a while, Chu Huaifeng concluded this woman wasn’t simple. Whether she was pretending or relying on her strength to sober up indicated one issue: the foot she gave earlier was real.
Considering that hidden power, it was quite formidable. If that woman strikes again, he might be in mortal danger.
"Hmph, consider yourselves lucky, I’ll bring my brothers another day to settle this score with you both."
Chu Huaifeng felt he had come upon strong adversaries, better to retreat quickly than repeat past mistakes and be severely injured by Chen Tianlong.
After pondering, Chu Huaifeng decided the best plan was a strategic retreat, leaving now to fight another day.
"Hehe, you’re welcome back anytime, make sure to bring more help though, otherwise there won’t be enough to fight against."
Chen Tianlong obviously became very arrogant, provoking Chu Huaifeng with fire and brimstone at that moment to ensure he was thoroughly terrified, showing no weakness whatsoever.
"Hmph, just wait and see, Chen Tianlong, we shall meet again. Let’s see who’ll help you then." After expressing his ruthless declaration, Chu Huaifeng jumped out the window directly.
A third-floor height was indeed nothing for a martial arts expert like him.
Once Chu Huaifeng left, Chen Tianlong let out a deep breath; it was extremely perilous. If not for Shen Yan’s kick, he might have perished there tonight.
After that exciting scene, Shen Yan was sober, suddenly realizing it was late into the night.
Chen Tianlong smiled wryly; he could have gotten closer to Shen Yan while she was drunk, but Chu Huaifeng interrupted, and now she was awake, so how could he dare to proceed further.
"Shen Yan, you’re awake. Just now it seemed you were drunk, almost had to spend the night here." Chen Tianlong suppressed his excitement, speaking lightly as if it was nothing.
"Ah? I was drunk? I wasn’t aware."
Shen Yan, as if remembering something, had deliberately gotten drunk. She could recall some subsequent events. Just when things could have gotten intimate with Chen Tianlong, circumstances outside disrupted them, preventing continuation. At that moment, she was quite clear-headed too.
Many are like this, even when truly drunk, their minds are clear, just feeling too tired, wanting to sleep.
"Hehe, I didn’t expect you to get drunk so quickly, seeing you down three cups directly, I thought you had a good tolerance." Chen Tianlong laughed wryly.
"Hmph, when was I drunk? Which eye saw me drunk? I was just pretending, wasn’t I? Now am I not perfectly sober?" Shen Yan argued stubbornly, chiding: "Miss Shen is one who can drink endlessly."
"Alright, alright, Miss Shen is indeed impressive, I, the little brother, am willing to bow down."
Chen Tianlong knew arguing with women was impossible, it would be better just to go along with her; after all, he hadn’t suffered any losses.
