Chapter 1626: Being Cheated

ial he was in Jiangbei City.Dong Qiang's mood seemed to be much better, drinking glass after glass of wine.And just then, the bar suddenly erupted in commotion, followed by twenty or thirty hoodlums s...Huo Manlou looked at Zheng Shixun's gaze towards his daughter, and a strange feeling grew in his heart. However, after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find the problem.

He shook his head, pushing away the unpleasant thoughts, and asked: "Lao Zheng, why are only the three of us here Where is Changxu"

Zheng Shixun then turned his gaze to him, a smile still on his face, but it looked increasingly cold and menacing.

"Changxu went out to deal with a punk who had gotten on his nerves."

Hua Manlou frowned again. The Zheng family invited his father and him to the banquet, but they let Zheng Changxu leave. This clearly showed that they were somewhat disrespectful to him and his father.

"Mr. Zheng, this is the first time the two children have met. Do you think you should call him back"

"There's no need for that, it makes no difference with or without him." Zheng Shixun smiled ominously. "To be honest with you, I have my eye on your daughter, and my grandson has nothing to do with it."

"What"

Both the Hua family father and daughter were greatly surprised. They never expected this old man to say such things.

"Mr. Zheng, are you kidding us"

Hua Manlou's expression was extremely gloomy. Even if it was a joke, it wasn't appropriate for the two families to meet formally for the first time like this. Besides, Zheng Shixun's seniority was there, and he shouldn't make such low-level jokes at all.

"Of course I'm serious."

Zheng Sehun smiled again, looking very happy and eager to talk.

Let me tell you a secret. The reason why my cultivation has progressed so rapidly over the years is because decades ago, I obtained a fragment of a martial arts manual. It allows me to absorb yin energy to nourish my body and quickly enhance my cultivation level.

"It is precisely because of this that I have been able to make breakthroughs one after another, and now I am at the late stage of Martial Saint realm."

"Martial Saint late stage"

Hearing these four words, Hua Manlou's heart sank. He thought that with his cultivation at the later stage of Tianjie, even if he looked at the whole country of Bangbang, there wouldn't be many opponents.

I didn't expect this old man in front of me to be at the late stage of Martial Saint. The gap is really too big.

Zheng Shixun still had a sinister smile on his face and continued.

"A broken fragment is still a broken fragment, this thing still has its drawbacks. Although it can quickly improve one's cultivation, it does not help with lifespan at all. Moreover, the excessive Yin Qi might even affect my life expectancy."

Even though I possess the cultivation of a late-stage Martial Saint, I lack the lifespan of a true Martial Saint. My time is drawing to a close.

Fortunately, there's another technique in this incomplete text: soul seizing and rebirth. It allows me to use someone else's body to extend my lifespan.

Hearing this, Huamanlou pulled his daughter back several steps, his expression darkening as he said, "What do you mean"

"Don't rush, let me finish my words."

Zheng Shixun said again, "It's exactly as you think, your daughter is the cauldron I have chosen."

Because my cultivation method is too heavy with Yin energy, the best way is to find a woman to borrow her life force for rebirth. This way, the impact on the body will be smaller.

But this cauldron is extremely demanding, it's really hard to find. After considering all factors like your daughter's birth date and fortune, we finally found that she perfectly meets the requirements. That's why our Zheng family traveled thousands of miles from afar to China to propose marriage.

"Alright, I'm done. Some things have been bottled up inside for too long, it feels good to get them out."

Huamanlou's heart sank to the bottom. She had originally thought she had found a good marriage for her daughter, but it turned out to be a big trap and she was completely deceived.

Without any further hesitation, he snatched up Hua Ru Yu and turned to run, determined to escape with his daughter no matter the cost.

"It's no use, you can't escape."

Behind the laughter came Zheng Shixun's menacing laugh, followed by a wave of cold air that slammed into Huamanlou.

"I'm going all in with you."

Although he felt the opponent's overwhelming power, Huamanlou remained undeterred, giving it his all and unleashing a powerful punch.

With a dull thud, his punch struck what felt like an invisible wall, sending him staggering back seven or eight steps. The opponent, however, remained unaffected.

"A mere little mortal, don't struggle. Be careful not to damage this old man's cauldron."

As soon as the words left his mouth, a tremendous pressure descended, pinning Hua Manlou to the ground with all its might. He was completely immobilized.

"An old man like me is going to fight you tooth and nail."

Hua Manlou was filled with rage, his eyes blazing with fury. He desperately channeled his true qi, but the difference in cultivation levels was simply too vast. Desperation couldn't bridge that gap.

A gust of finger wind then struck him, sealing his acupoints directly.

"A mere ant, daring to fight me tooth and nail Do you have the qualifications"

Zheng Shih-hsin laughed triumphantly, “I won't kill you first. I'll let you see with your own eyes how I take over your daughter.”

"It is still an hour until midnight. You two, father and daughter, enjoy this last bit of time together. There will be no more after this." "Daughter, I am sorry for what I have done to you!"

A single tear rolled down Huamanlou's face, tracing a path through the flowers that adorned his cheeks. At this moment, regret filled his heart to the brim. It was he who had personally led his daughter into this burning pit of despair.

"Well, now aren't you feeling rather regretful"

Zheng Se-hun stood up, hands clasped behind his back, and strode about with a smug air.

"Actually, you don't need to blame yourself. The reason I proposed a marriage alliance was to save some trouble and have you deliver the person yourself."

Even if you hadn't agreed, I wouldn't have let such a good vessel go. At most, this old man would just travel to China himself.

Huamanlou's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at her, "You just want a body for your soul to inhabit, don't you Then take mine! I won't resist. I willingly give you this flesh."

"You don't have the qualifications to be my furnace."

Zheng Sehun shook his head, his face full of disdain.

"My kind of Yin attribute cultivation technique is best used with a woman as the furnace, your body is not bad, but your birth date and eight characters are not suitable. Most importantly, you cultivate Yang attribute techniques, which have no use for me at all."

"Daughter, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I'm not good enough to protect you."

The desperate Hua Manlou once again looked at Hua Ruyu, his heart filled with regret.

He loved his daughter most in his life. He was originally worried that after his death, no one would take care of Zhou Quan, who was as delicate as a flower, so he married into the Zheng family, but ended up harming his daughter with his own hands.

"Dad, it's okay. Maybe this is just my fate. It's not anyone's fault."

Even now, like the falling rain, Hua Ru Yu is helpless. She can only let two lines of clear tears fall.

At this moment, her mind suddenly flashed the handsome face, Xiaofan gege. It seemed that I was destined to be just a passerby in your life.

I never thought that man was more than just a temporary shield I grabbed. But in the end, he turned out to be the person I cherished most.

"That's right, becoming my furnace cauldron is your destiny…"

When Zheng Shixun was feeling pleased with himself, a furious roar suddenly came from above the Zheng family estate. “Old dog of the Zheng family, come out and die!”

The sound was like a clap of thunder, shattering the peace of the entire estate.

Jeong Se-hoon's expression instantly turned icy cold: "Damn it, who dares to cause trouble for the Jeong family"

After finishing his words, he strode toward the room's exit. The time for his possession was imminent. This matter of great importance concerning his rebirth was absolutely not to be disturbed by anyone..He looked at Bai Dawei with a playful smile and said, "Trash The real trash is you, you can't even hear a single word I say.""What do you mean Are you trying to back out So many people are watching,...
