Chapter 366: Invitation Number 361

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

A longsword emitting a green glow came swiftly, hovering in front of the purple-clothed woman with its tip pointing straight at her chest.

"Dare to call yourself Grand Aunt in front of I, Divine Sword? I think you’re tired of living."

"Heh."

The purple-clothed woman sneered, "Oh, who could it be? Just a broken iron sword with a Sword Spirit."

The Creation Divine Sword had never been so ridiculed by anyone since following Yan Rufeng.

"Broken iron sword!"

The Creation Divine Sword was furious.

"You little brat, congratulations, you’ve successfully angered I, Divine Sword. I, Divine Sword, have decided to leave a hundred sword scars on your face before piercing your heart with one strike."

"Clang—"

A loud noise rang out, followed by a brilliant green light, causing the purple-clothed woman to involuntarily close her eyes.

"Xiao Jian, come back, stop messing around."

With a seemingly nonchalant remark from Yan Rufeng, the glow of the Creation Divine Sword dimmed.

"Master, she not only wants to chop you into pieces to feed the fish, but she also insulted me. Please, you must avenge me."

Yan Rufeng put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Xiao Jian, that woman helped us once; do not act rashly."

"Uh! Alright then."

The Creation Divine Sword flew behind Yan Rufeng and floated there in a slanted position.

Hearing the silence, the purple-clothed woman slowly opened her eyes.

"Young Master Yan, this sword is incredibly powerful; is it yours?"

Yan Rufeng smiled and said, "Miss, that is not very important. Since you helped me today, I will not hold the previous matter against you."

Yan Rufeng then cupped his hands and said, "Farewell!"

Seeing Yan Rufeng turn to leave, the purple-clothed woman hurriedly called out, "Wait, Young Master Yan, please stay."

Yan Rufeng stopped and said calmly, "I already told you, I can’t help you with that matter."

The purple-clothed woman ran up to Yan Rufeng, smiled charmingly, and bowed, "Young Master Yan, I offer you my salutations."

"Heh."

Yan Rufeng chuckled internally, "This change in attitude is a bit too quick, isn’t it?"

The purple-clothed woman straightened her chest and smiled, "Young Master Yan, not far ahead is my humble abode. If you don’t mind, would you come and stay for a while?"

Yan Rufeng frowned and thought, "What medicine is this girl selling in her gourd? She failed to force a marriage and now wants me to go to her home... What does she really want?"

"Young Master Yan?"

Hearing the purple-clothed woman’s voice, Yan Rufeng snapped out of his thoughts and said, "I’m very sorry, but I really have urgent matters to attend to, so I cannot visit your home."

The purple-clothed woman was relentless and asked, "Seeing that Young Master Yan has just recently ascended to the Immortal World, may I ask what important matter you have to attend to?"

"Heh."

Yan Rufeng smiled and thought, "This girl’s eyesight is quite sharp to see that I’ve just ascended...

Yan Rufeng smiled and said, "Miss, to be honest, I have just ascended to the Immortal World. The reason I’m in such a hurry is because I’m going to find friends who ascended from the Mortal Domain to the Immortal World last year."

"Hehe."

The purple-clothed woman laughed, "Young Master Yan, your friends have been in the Immortal World for more than a year. Finding them is like searching for a needle in a haystack."

The purple-clothed woman paused, then seeing Yan Rufeng in deep thought, continued to smile and said, "Young Master Yan, since you have just ascended and have no friends here, why not stay at my place for a few days? Once you get familiar with the Immortal World’s environment, you can look for your friends without delay."

Upon careful consideration, Yan Rufeng thought, "What she says makes sense, but her insistence on me staying is not just to help me find friends. She must have other motives."

Yan Rufeng glanced at the scheming purple-clothed woman and thought delightfully, "Since that’s the case, why not play along and see what tricks she has up her sleeve? I can also take the opportunity to inquire about the current situation of the Zhao Family..."

After some thoughts, Yan Rufeng agreed to the purple-clothed woman’s request.

"Hehe."

The purple-clothed woman smiled sweetly and walked to the table, bowing to pour a cup of tea for Yan Rufeng.

"Young Master Yan, please have some tea."

Feeling it hard to refuse, Yan Rufeng sat back down, took the tea cup, and sipped.

After some conversation, Yan Rufeng learned that the purple-clothed woman’s name was Li Xihan, the only daughter of the Li family.

After three cups of tea, Yan Rufeng looked at Li Xihan and asked, "Miss Xihan, what do you mean when you asked me to marry you earlier?"

Yan Rufeng asked again, touching a sore spot in Li Xihan’s heart.

"Sigh..."

Li Xihan sighed, "Young Master Yan, you don’t know, I just reached the age for discussing marriage, and my parents have already arranged for me to marry the foolish son of a landlord family."

"Hehe!"

Yan Rufeng chuckled, "The landlord’s son may not necessarily be foolish."

"Sigh!"

Li Xihan sighed again.

"Whether he’s foolish or not, I don’t know, but I’ve heard that the foolish son of the Zhao Family Patriarch has already married no less than ten wives."

Hearing the mention of the Zhao Family, Yan Rufeng grew intrigued.

"The Zhao Family? Which Zhao Family?"

"In this vast Feng City, which other Zhao Family could it be but the one that bullies men, dominates women, and controls everything?"

"Uhm."

Yan Rufeng asked, "Is their patriarch called Zhao Shuo?"

"Oh!"

Li Xihan exclaimed, "Young Master Yan, you’re quite capable. You just ascended to the Immortal World and already know Zhao Shuo’s reputation."

Suddenly realizing something, Yan Rufeng quickly said, "Miss Xihan, you mentioned that the Zhao Family dominates Feng City. It’s only natural I should know about it."

"Hehe."

Li Xihan thought for a moment and then giggled, "True."

Li Xihan was incredibly beautiful; her smile was so charming that it made people want to get closer to her.

Yan Rufeng couldn’t see Li Xihan as a bad person and thought, "This Li Xihan is quite cute. Why wouldn’t I agree to marry her, but she wanted to kill me..."

Seeing Yan Rufeng lost in thought, Li Xihan asked suspiciously, "Young Master Yan, what are you thinking?"

Yan Rufeng hesitated and then said, "Miss Xihan, as you mentioned, the Zhao Family bullies men and dominates women in Feng City. Aren’t you afraid that by avoiding this marriage, you’ll bring disaster to your family?"

"Hmph!"

Li Xihan snorted coldly.

"What is there to fear? Marrying into the Zhao Family would mean losing my freedom. It would be a fate worse than death. While I still have some time, I must find someone worth spending my life with."

"Ha!"

Yan Rufeng laughed.

"So, have you found someone yet?"

"Sigh."

Li Xihan sighed and said, "I’ve looked for dozens of people, but none have met my expectations. They all turned out to be sanctimonious hypocrites."

"Hehe!"

Yan Rufeng laughed, "How do you know?"

Li Xihan’s chest heaved angrily. She pouted and said, "Young Master Yan, you don’t know. The people I found before you, as soon as they got on this boat, they acted like wild horses breaking free. Their lecherous looks could devour people. If it weren’t for Cai Yi and Cai Xia, it’s hard to imagine what crazy things they would have done."

Yan Rufeng furrowed his brows and asked, "Didn’t you bring this upon yourself? If you ask someone to marry you, you expect them to remain composed?"

"Pfft."

Li Xihan said disdainfully, "That’s one way to say it, but I believe that before the wedding, we should treat each other with respect."

"Hehe!"

"You have a point there."

Suddenly remembering something, Yan Rufeng asked, "Then did you chop them up and feed them to the fish in Feng River?"
