Zhan Tianlei actually wasn’t sure why Yin Ruobing had suddenly gotten up from her seat in the courtyard and headed out. However, since Yin Ruobing had shouted for the two men to stop and since the two were still prepared to knock the ladies unconscious—as a gentleman escort, he naturally had to act. When else was he going to get such a good opportunity than now?

Li Hong was internally secretly crying out bitterly. He wouldn’t have minded if it was any other disciple of the Yin Clan; the one he didn’t want to see the most was Yin Ruobing. While she might look calm and harmonious on the surface, she was actually very cold and arrogant. It wasn’t easy talking to her, and if someone made her angry, she would not show that person any face.

He put down his hand and smiled as he walked to welcome Yin Ruobing. He cupped his hands and said, “Ruobing, Young Master Tianlei, I had actually gone to pay my respects yesterday; but your servants said that you two were taking in the sights in the Divine Sonar Lake.”

“En.”

Yin Ruobing nodded her head slightly. Actually, she had been out sightseeing the past three days precisely because she did not want to see Li Hong. She would subconsciously feel uncomfortable when she saw him. She detested this infamous third uncle of hers.

Hence, she did not want to waste any time on formalities anymore. She pointed at Tang Xue and Tang Yan and said, “What is going on here? Li Hong, are you forcibly taking civilian girls again?”

“Uh—”

Li Hong’s face flushed as he became very awkward. Yin Ruobing had encountered him once before taking girls away by force; he knew that Yin Ruobing did not like him at all. She was even calling him by his full name now, evident of how she felt about him now.

He could only smile bitterly and explained. “Ruobing, what are you talking about? Is your third uncle such a person? These two lasses are maidservants of the Tang Clan. Your cousin had taken a fancy to them when he saw them previously, and so I spent one hundred Crippled Heaven Bamboos to buy them. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the people from the Tang Clan.”

“Cousin?”

A look of contempt appeared in Yin Ruobing’s eyes. Li Hong was actually intending to blame his own son to cover up his own dirty deeds? She turned cold and did not want to beat around the bush anymore. She said, “I have a use for these two lasses. Give them to me as maidservants.”

“This...”

Li Hong’s mouth twisted. He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, “Ruobing, if it was any other maidservants, you only have to say the word; and I won’t have any reason to say no to you. However, your cousin likes these two ladies and intends to make them his wives. They will be your sisters-in-law in the future. It would be inappropriate for them to be your maidservants, right?”

Yin Ruobing coldly snorted and said, “Will you give them or not?”

Zhan Tianlei had not spoken since he arrived. He took a look at Tang Xue and Tang Yan and felt that there was something strange going on. Why was Yin Ruobing going head-on with Li Hong? Yin Ruobing had so many maidservants; was it out of the goodwill of her heart? However, she was doing so while publicly not giving face to her uncle. That was not good, right?

He paused for a while and decided that regardless of circumstance, he was going to help Yin Ruobing. He said, “Elder Li, since Yin Ruobing wants them, you should give them up. For someone like your son, are you really afraid he won’t be able to find a wife?”

Zhan Tianlei’s status was very special. Even the Chen Clan Head spoke to him courteously and with much respect. Since he had spoken, Li Hong became even more conflicted and was at his wit’s end.

His eyes scanned Tang Xue and Tang Yan again, and his expression changed many times. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “I’m sorry, Ruobing and Young Master Tianlei. It is not that I do not wish to give you face; these two ladies are really very important. I will not give them up.”

“En?”

Yin Ruobing and Zhan Tianlei simultaneously revealed an expression of curiosity. They looked at Tang Xue and Tang Yan, wanting to see what was so special about the two. If they were ordinary ladies, Li Hong would definitely not dare to go against the two.

“I will not hide from you two anymore.”

Li Hong smiled bitterly and said in a low voice. “These two are from the Fairy Lady Race, one of the top ten divine furnaces and are twins, too. This is very hard to come by. If your cousin manages to get these two ladies, his power will definitely increase by leaps and bounds before long. Hence, I have no choice but to say no to you two. If you want maidservants, when I am back, I will send you five, no, ten! Okay?”

“Fairy Lady Race?”

Yin Ruobing and Zhan Tianlei were stunned at the same time. The guards that were with them also perked up and looked at Tang Xue and Tang Yan with much earnest. Even Zhan Tianlei looked to the two, his eyes revealing a sliver of greed.

The Fairy Lady Race ranked fourth among the top ten divine furnaces, only below the Goddess Lady Race, the Fragrant Lady Race, and the Wolf Lady Race. This race possessed the world’s number-one famed artifact, the Nine Bending Cloister. During lovemaking, their cherries would occasionally be bone-chilling and occasionally fiery hot. Furthermore, the inside was just like a Nine Bending Cloister. Regular men would never be able to last longer than two and a half minutes. Women from this race were the most sought-after bed partners, and they were also great furnaces for twin cultivation. Moreover, they could increase one’s cultivation speed five or six folds!

The two were from the Fairy Lady Race and were even twins. This was more than enough to make all the men in the world go crazy. From this moment, the desire in Zhan Tianlei was stark. Although his betrothed was just standing next to him, who was also from the Fragrant Lady Race—one of the top ten divine furnaces, he still could not hide his inner feelings. This spoke to how attractive the Fairy Lady Race was to men.

Yin Ruobing, being from the Fragrant Lady Race herself, was very clear that many of those from the top ten divine furnaces could not be identified from their appearances. However, she knew that Li Hong had mastered an evil art and had a pair of poisonous eyes; it seemed like he could not be wrong about this.

Jiang Yi, this philandering carrot...

Yin Ruobing suddenly felt a sense of jealousy and then grew so shy that she turned red. At that moment, she did not know what to say. After all, the two ladies were two precious; if she took them by force, she would not be able to explain herself.

Li Hong had a very good excuse, saying that he wanted the two to be his son’s wives. She couldn’t possibly take them and make them her maidservants now, could she? These two sisters-in-law were so precious, and there were so many guards and maidservants from the Chen Clan around watching.

Men are really always up to no good.

Yin Ruobing had noticed the looks that Zhan Tianlei was giving Tang Xue and Tang Yan. She coldly snorted, and Zhan Tianlei came to his senses. He hurriedly said seriously, “Ruobing, since the two ladies are from the top ten divine furnaces, perhaps they should become your sisters-in-law. Should we... just forget about it?”

By saying this, Zhan Tianlei wanted to give Yin Ruobing and himself a way out and also wanted to prove his loyalty to Yin Ruobing... and that he wasn’t having greedy thoughts.

Li Hong heard this and suddenly became excited. He pleaded and said, “My great lady, please give your third uncle some face. There are so many outsiders present. When we’re back, I will head to Yin Thearch City and offer my apologies to you and your mother.”

“You want to use my mother to pressure me?”

Yin Ruobing’s eyes became cold again. She remembered that she had promised Jiang Yi, and if this matter went south, how was she going to explain this to him? She became anxious, gritted her teeth, and said, “No, the two will stay.”

Li Hong also became frantic. He stared at Yin Ruobing and said, “Then you will have to kill me. Since you obviously look down on me, I have no reason to live either.”

“Uh...”

Zhan Tianlei and company exchanged stares, at a loss at what was to be done. They did not expect things to come to this stage and did not know how to persuade the two at this moment. After all, this was another clan’s internal affairs. It was not convenient for Zhan Tianlei to intervene, though if it was someone else, he would have struck them down right on the spot.

Yin Ruobing became very red, as she too was at a loss with what to do with this Li Hong that was ready to risk it all. The stalemate continued, with the guards and maidservants in the vicinity—as well as Tang Xue and Tang Yan—waiting with bated breath to see what was going to happen, not daring to even breath.
