Chapter 321: Chapter 320: 【Make a Bet with Zhang Lan】

When Zhang Lan heard Ye Tianchen’s words, she was originally walking quickly forward, not wanting to pay any attention to the scoundrel before her. Although he was a good-looking scoundrel with decent skills, it still couldn’t calm her urgency to quickly rescue her cousin.

However, upon hearing Ye Tianchen call out her name, Zhang Lan involuntarily stopped in her tracks, turned around with a somewhat odd look at Ye Tianchen, and her sexy lips curved slightly upward, showing a hint of coquetry mixed with cuteness.

"You must be wondering how I know your name, right?" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

"I don’t even want to know. Joking around in this kind of place could get you killed!" Zhang Lan made a face at Ye Tianchen and said.

"Really? You want to save your cousin Han Jie. If you don’t cooperate with me, I’m afraid you won’t be able to do it!" Ye Tianchen shrugged and said.

"It seems like you have a good relationship with my cousin. You must be the Ye Tianchen she often mentions to me," Zhang Lan looked at Ye Tianchen and said.

"Can’t help it, personal charisma is the reason. I also really want to save Han Jie, so I hope we can cooperate!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

This beautiful eccentric woman named Zhang Lan was Han Jie’s cousin. With that said, Ye Tianchen had a strong memory, especially when it involved beautiful women and their conversations. He had once heard Han Jie mention that she had a cousin named Zhang Lan, who had been the captain of the female Special Police Team and was incredibly impressive. Not only was she very beautiful, but she was also a heroine who had often stood up against injustice and had captured many criminals.

Imagine a twenty-four-year-old beauty becoming a special police officer and also the captain of the female Special Police Team—such a precedent was probably unprecedented in all of China. Zhang Lan was not only pretty but also skilled and talented, not just a mere decorative figure, which made her even more admirable.

Ye Tianchen mentally nicknamed Zhang Lan "Eccentric Girl". This name wasn’t wrong given her straightforward and easygoing nature. She was a genuinely nice girl, beautiful without being pretentious or decorative, very independent. In her own words, "Why should women have to rely on men? Being self-sufficient and self-reliant are the best."

The most unexpected thing for Han Jie was that her cousin, Zhang Lan, who was the captain of the female Special Police Team and was on a promising career track possibly leading to military management, chose to resign. She disregarded everyone in her family and the repeated persuasions of her superiors, left the special police force and returned to urban life to work in a company that dealt with disinfectant towel projects.

Over the years, even though Zhang Lan lived like an ordinary office worker, her straightforward and friendly nature, somewhat eccentric and always ready to stand against injustice, never changed. She remained single not because she wasn’t beautiful or excellent, but on the contrary, because she was too perfect. Having beauty, body, and brains, very few men dared to approach her, and not just any man would suffice.

"Cooperate? How would we cooperate? Surely you don’t need me to save you?"

Zhang Lan was no easy opponent, full of personality, a type most men couldn’t handle. Of course, Ye Tianchen wasn’t an easy one either, having both rogue and ’Death God’ characteristics, which made him quite a scoundrel.

"Who saves who is not yet certain. Let’s see whether you find your cousin first or I do!" Ye Tianchen also said disdainfully.

"So you’re challenging me to a bet?" Zhang Lan playfully glanced at Ye Tianchen and asked.

Ye Tianchen was momentarily stunned. This beautiful woman really was an eccentric. It was always he who invited others to bet, yet today, this beautiful woman was challenging him. How could Ye Tianchen admit defeat?

Ye Tianchen’s impression of Zhang Lan was indeed not bad. In today’s society, it was rare to find such a beautiful, capable girl. What was most important to Ye Tianchen was that Zhang Lan really suited his taste—beautiful, competent, skillful, a bit eccentric, a bit simple, straightforward, and with the boldness of a female hero.

"Tell me, what kind of bet do you have in mind?" Ye Tianchen looked at Zhang Lan with a dismissive glance and said.

"If I rescue my cousin first, you have to serve me tea and water for a month!" Zhang Lan said playfully and cutely.

"What if I go first?" Ye Tianchen asked in a still relaxed manner.

"You couldn’t possibly beat me, but if you did, how about I serve you tea and water for a month?" Zhang Lan said with her cute lips pouting playfully.

"Forget it, that’s no fun... If you lose, just give me a kiss, how about that?" Ye Tianchen asked with a mischievous smile.

Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Zhang Lan couldn’t help but glared fiercely at him, adorably yet sexily curling up the corners of her mouth and said, "Big bad guy... I’ll agree, but if you lose, you serve me tea and water for three months, and if I lose... I’ll... I’ll kiss you!"

As she spoke, Zhang Lan still couldn’t help but blush. At all times, she was a strong woman, one not to be knocked down or scared off by difficulties, but in this moment, she genuinely blushed. As Han Jie described to Ye Tianchen, Zhang Lan had always been a self-reliant girl ever since she was young. Despite never running out of suitors, able to line them up in queues at times, she had never been in a relationship. It was unclear why, but very few people could ever touch the depths of Zhang Lan’s heart, almost none in fact, so her first kiss was still intact. How could she not be shy when Ye Tianchen brought it up?

With great courage, Zhang Lan finally agreed to Ye Tianchen that if he rescued Han Jie first, she would offer her first kiss to Ye Tianchen. Zhang Lan was a girl who hated to lose and particularly against someone like Ye Tianchen who also hated losing. The two of them were absolutely at odds with each other, creating a somewhat funny and romantic atmosphere.

Whoosh! Ye Tianchen didn’t speak but was the first to dash toward Black Mist Canyon. He wasn’t worried about Zhang Lan getting hurt. As the captain of the female Special Police Team, her skills were certainly up to the test. Judging from her lightning-fast speed in taking down that black-clothed assassin just now, she should be able to handle anyone there, unless she encountered that elder from the Northern Star Sword Stream.

Zhang Lan didn’t expect Ye Tianchen to suddenly rush into Black Mist Canyon, immediately stamping her foot in anger and cursing bitterly, "Big bad guy, just you wait until I rescue my cousin, you’ll see, hmph!"

The arrival of Zhang Lan, the captain of the female Special Police Team, in the middle of the road was like adding a huge force to Ye Tianchen, Cang Lang, and Luo Weike. The mission was something that ordinary people couldn’t complete or even qualify for. As one would know, all the enemies were disciples of the Northern Star Sword Stream, each more formidable than the last, including that elder from the Northern Star Sword Stream sitting in command. An unavoidable life-or-death battle was at hand. Even Ye Tianchen, who was just managing to use his Emperor-level Early Stage Superpower, couldn’t guarantee that he could defeat that elder.

Meanwhile, at the very center of Black Mist Canyon, inside a tent, an old man dressed in Japanese traditional samurai attire sat cross-legged on a carpet. Before him stood three black-clothed assassins, who were among the top four experts he had brought from the Northern Star Sword Stream. As for the other top expert who had already been killed by Li Wang, that was Dao Gejian. Each of these top experts had abilities comparable or even more formidable than Dao Gejian’s, a thought that was terrifying in itself.

"Elder Sato, what do you need from us?" asked the black-clothed assassin standing in the middle respectfully.

"Have you gotten anything from those special soldiers yet?" The elderly man known as Elder Sato opened his eyes and asked calmly.

"Not yet, they are all very tight-lipped. Even cutting off their hands and feet won’t make them speak a word!" the black-clothed assassin in the middle said somewhat apologetically.

The group from the Northern Star Sword Stream thought that after capturing twenty Elite Special Soldiers, subjecting them to severe torture and even threatening their lives with the most excruciating pain, they would definitely get some information. Unfortunately, they underestimated the pride of the Chinese Special Soldiers. Even in death, they would not utter a single word. They were heroes of the Chinese nation, engaged in the grand cause of protecting their country and their people. Even though such sacrifices would remain unknown to the common folk forever, they were unapologetically proud, true iron men standing tall.

"No need to ask any further, just go straight for that woman. Women might not fear death, but she will certainly fear losing her virginity, which can be said to be the most precious thing to her body!" Elder Sato shamelessly said.

"Yes!" the black-clothed assassin in the middle nodded in response.

"Right, kill all the other Chinese Special Soldiers, just leave that woman alone..." Sato thought for a moment before adding.

"Why, Elder? Maybe we could get something out of them!" the black-clothed assassin in the middle asked, slightly confused.

"No need, because several strong opponents have arrived, very strong indeed, and their abilities are definitely not below yours. One of them has already locked down the entire canyon with his formidable aura, an aura of killing intent that is enough to match mine. Get ready for battle!" Sato’s eyes gleamed viciously as he spoke.

The three black-clothed assassins were all taken aback. It was not easy to hear such words from Elder Sato, for he was ranked among the top ten in the Northern Star Sword Stream, and it was nearly impossible to find an opponent worthy of fighting him.
