273: Chapter 257: Scared Away_1 273: Chapter 257: Scared Away_1 Lu Chuan curled his lip and said, “If your Excellency really had profound abilities, you wouldn’t judge people by their appearances.”

The tattooed woman’s complexion darkened, “Do you dare question my expertise?”

Lu Chuan replied indifferently, “I’m just telling it as it is.”

The rest of the people immediately gathered around to watch the excitement.

The man holding a broken umbrella and looking somewhat disheveled laughed and said, “Crazy woman, even a green kid looks down on you.

Aren’t you going to show off your trump card and give him a taste of your power?”

Quite a few people joined in the jeering, clearly enjoying the scene.

The tattooed woman snorted coldly and stared at Lu Chuan, “Boy, since you don’t believe me, I guess I’ll have to enlighten you.

You’ll soon realize that by telling you to leave, I was doing you a favor.

This world’s unpredictability is far more terrifying than anything you’ve seen!”

“Oh, and make sure to protect that girl behind you.

If she ends up crying from fear later, don’t say I didn’t warn you!”

No sooner had she finished speaking than the demonic monster tattoo on the woman’s face began to wriggle to life.

Seeing this, Han Qingci immediately grabbed Lu Chuan’s arm and whispered, “Ew, that’s so disgusting.”

Before long, black mist began to emanate from the tattoo on the woman’s face, eventually forming a demonic monster in mid-air that was as fierce and terrifying as her tattoo.

With a cold smile, the woman looked at Lu Chuan and said, “Boy, see this!

This is an evil demon that I’ve nurtured in my body as the vessel.

It has an innate thirst for killing.

With just one command from me, it can drain all your yang energy.

Are you scared now?”

The onlookers couldn’t help but nod in admiration.

“This crazy woman’s way of nurturing demons is getting more and more formidable.

If that monster came at me, I’m afraid I’d have to go all out just to deal with it.”

“Damn, that thing is really freaky.

If I weren’t a Taoist, my legs would have turned to jelly from fear today.”

“That monster is no weaker than my spirit snake; this man is indeed a thorny character.”

…

Lu Chuan glanced at the ferocious-looking demon and curled his lip, “It’s quite rare to use one’s body as a vessel to nurture a little demon.

But your little demon isn’t as powerful as you think, and instead, you’re shortening your own lifespan.

In my opinion, that’s just foolish.”

The tattooed woman’s face was filled with rage, “What did you say!”

At that moment, Han Qingci burrowed into Lu Chuan’s embrace and wrapped her arms around his waist, saying, “Brother Lu Chuan, I’m so scared.”

Lu Chuan, feeling the softness in his arms, was a bit helpless but said nothing.

It was normal for a girl to be timid.

Seeing that Han Qingci was frightened, the tattooed woman’s expression eased a bit and said, “Boy, since you look down on the evil demon I’ve raised so much, let me show you what it’s capable of.

Then we’ll see if you can still make those bold statements later!”

After speaking, she was about to command the evil demon to teach Lu Chuan a lesson.

However, to her surprise, no matter how she ordered her nurtured demon, it showed no reaction whatsoever.

She was puzzled and turned to glance at the demon floating in mid-air, shocked to find her usually fierce and vicious demon now filled with terror, shivering all over as if it had seen something horrifying, and didn’t dare to move.

Lu Chuan, who had been planning to deal with the demon with a slap when it attacked him, now also showed a hint of confusion on his face.

“Could it be because of my True Dragon Destiny?

But that shouldn’t be the case.”

Everyone looked on in amazement, not expecting such a twist.

Only Han Qingci, nestled in Lu Chuan’s embrace, wore a sly smile on her face.

The tattooed woman’s brows furrowed deeply.

After sensing her closely linked demon for a moment, her face turned deathly pale.

Her gaze fell on Lu Chuan and Han Qingci as if she had seen something even more terrifying than ghosts and she turned to run.

“Too terrifying, truly too terrifying!”

The evil demon she was raising quickly followed after her, and in no time, they both vanished from sight.

Lu Chuan felt inexplicably bewildered, having clearly done nothing.

How had he frightened that woman to such an extent?

Han Qingci clung tightly to Lu Chuan, seemingly enjoying the sensation, as she said, “Brother Lu Chuan, your chest is so warm; with you here, Qingci isn’t afraid of anything anymore.”

Lu Chuan pushed her away, saying, “That woman has already been scared off, so you don’t need to cling to me like this.”

“Oh.” Han Qingci looked disappointed but, mindful of the many people in the courtyard, said nothing more.

The crowd regarded Lu Chuan with solemn expressions.

Although he hadn’t done anything, merely the fact that he had frightened away the madwoman led everyone to guess that he was no ordinary person, so no one dared to underestimate him any longer.

Just then, the sound of high heels clicking approached.

“Miss Nangong has arrived!”

Everyone immediately fell silent and turned to look forward.

Lu Chuan also looked ahead and saw a sexy woman with long, shapely legs walking toward them.

This woman exuded an ethereal, otherworldly quality, her face tinged with a hint of coldness.

Coupled with her enchanting figure, she radiated the aura of an ice queen.

The person in question was the eldest daughter of the Nangong family, Nangong Duoduo.

Upon seeing this woman, a look of surprise appeared on Lu Chuan’s face, for he realized that she was a skillful expert of the Profound Realm.

“As expected of a hidden aristocratic family; even Miss Nangong has reached the Profound Realm.

How strong must the overall strength of the Nangong family be?”

Han Qingci couldn’t help but exclaim, “Such a beautiful sister…”

Lu Chuan’s eyes flickered, thinking that Han Qingci’s original preference had been for women.

If he could uncover her true nature, would that not neutralize the effect of the Peach Blossom Brew?

So, he whispered, “Qingci, didn’t you use to like women?

Miss Nangong is so beautiful, and she would be the perfect match for you.

Why don’t you go and flirt with her?”

Han Qingci’s face turned red, and she shyly said, “Oh my, Brother Lu Chuan, what are you talking about?

Qingci only has room in her heart for you now.

Even though this sister is indeed very pretty, Qingci will definitely resist the temptation for Brother Lu Chuan.”

Lu Chuan was resigned, realizing he had thought too much.

“What are you two whispering about?” Nangong Duoduo stopped and her icy gaze fell on Lu Chuan and Han Qingci, her voice carrying the assertive tone of a domineering older sister.

Lu Chuan hastily said, “Nothing, nothing at all.”

Nangong Duoduo gave Lu Chuan a sidelong glance; she had vaguely overheard the two discussing her.

However, she didn’t mind and, scanning the crowd, said indifferently, “The reason I’ve called you here today, you should all be aware of by now, so I’ll skip the pleasantries.

Follow me to the ancestral hall.”

No one dared to dally, and they quickly nodded and followed after Nangong Duoduo towards the ancestral hall.

Lu Chuan and Han Qingci also followed.

Soon, everyone arrived at the ancestral hall of the Nangong family.

In the grand hall, incense smoke curled through the air.

The altar held many spirit tablets, all belonging to the deceased members of the Nangong family.

At the moment, an old man dressed in a white robe with snow-white hair was cleaning the hall.

The Taoist saw the elder inside and his complexion changed, terror-stricken, he exclaimed, “Old…

Old Master Nangong, isn’t he dead?

I saw with my own eyes Miss Nangong return with his spirit tablet, so how could he appear here in the ancestral hall!”
