Chapter 245

Chapter 245: Chapter 244 "What do you mean by this, beautiful?" Ye Tianchen turned around and looked at the girl in sunglasses who was waving a black whip at him, smiling as he spoke.

The girl with the sunglasses, her sexy lips also revealing a hint of a smile, playful yet intriguing. She took a step forward, her left pinkie finger beckoning Ye Tianchen, and with a dynamic voice from her slightly opened red lips said, "Give me that box, and I’ll let you go..."

The Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box, this beautiful girl was here for it. Ye Tianchen frowned, realizing there indeed was an issue with the jade box. He had long noticed that keeping this item would eventually cause trouble, as any ordinary person who saw it would be tempted to possess it. Let alone major families and powers—if they knew the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box was with the Ye family, they would certainly risk sending experts to steal it. Although he wasn’t afraid of anything with his own presence, Ye Tianchen didn’t want to bring even the slightest potential danger to his parents and sister.

"That won’t do. This box belonged to my mom’s mom’s mom, and if you took it, my mom’s mom’s mom would be unhappy. Do you think I could hand it over to you?" Ye Tianchen said with a smile, showing his rogue nature.

"Is that so? Then I guess I’ll just have to take it by force, which wouldn’t be nice if it ends up hurting you, right?" The beautiful girl asked Ye Tianchen.

"You see, my biggest strength is my reluctance to lay a hand on a beauty, and my biggest weakness is also my reluctance to lay a hand on a beauty. So what do you say, should I make a move or not?"

Coming across this playful and intriguing girl in black sunglasses, Ye Tianchen was also playfully curious. The girl, riding a cool motorcycle with a tall figure, curves where they should be, youth blossoming like flowers, and extraordinary skills, made people wonder about her background.

Suddenly, the black whip in the girl’s right hand snapped, delivering a surge of Yin Power to Ye Tianchen’s palm. Such a powerful Yin power was formidable—sometimes it was not brute force that was admired, but rather the cunning of Yin power, which could be lethal when least expected. Ye Tianchen guessed that the girl must have practiced the Yin Rou Internal Force from an Ancient Martial Sect, otherwise it was impossible to attack him with such silent and soft Inner Strength.

Crack!

The black whip broke the air. When Ye Tianchen sensed the Yin Rou Internal Force, he swiftly released his right hand. The whip missed its mark, producing a loud snap, but the girl skillfully manipulated it to strike towards the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box in Ye Tianchen’s left hand.

Of course, Ye Tianchen would not let the girl succeed. Putting aside the preciousness of the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box, no one had ever managed to take anything from his hands, and he wasn’t about to let go now.

Seeing her whip miss, the girl was taken aback, realizing that the guy who was about the same age as her was quite skilled. It seemed she would have to put in more effort to secure the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box.

This time, the girl was carrying out her family’s orders to retrieve the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box from the Luo family. Their family had lent the box to the Luo family for twenty years because their ancestor had been close friends with the ancestor of the Luo family; otherwise, it would have been impossible to lend it out for such a long time.

Ye Tianchen, quick and agile, flipped out of the sports car and said to his mom and Bao Tianglong with a smile, "Wait for me a moment!"

Luo Yan had originally asked Uncle Wang to return the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box to the Luo family, so as not to put Luo Yansong, her father, in a difficult position. Who would have known that just as Ye Tianchen was about to leave, he wanted to take a look at the box, claiming curiosity on the surface, but in truth, it was because Ye Tianchen felt a familiar aura from the box—one that had surprised him as he had sensed it before in the apocalypse.

"It seems you’re not planning on handing over the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box, are you?" The girl said, retracting her black whip but still smiling at Ye Tianchen.

"Beautiful, since the item is in my hands, do you think it’s right to demand it so aggressively?" Ye Tianchen replied, smiling as well.

"The Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box originally belongs to the Zhantai family, and I am here on family orders to retrieve it. You won’t be able to take it away. When Old Master Luo comes out, we’ll see," the girl said calmly.

"Then let’s wait and see what Old Master Luo has to say when he comes out, shall we?" Ye Tianchen said nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders.

"But I don’t want to wait, I want to get it now..." the girl suddenly said with a hint of playfulness.

"So, you still want to fight for it?"

"Because your attitude has really annoyed me!"

Whoosh!

As soon as the girl finished speaking, she swung the black whip like a snake snapping at Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen furrowed his brows; the first strike had already made him aware of the strong Yin Power. He would not underestimate the beautiful girl this time. A master’s skill is not determined by age, and underestimating an opponent because of their youth could lead to a hefty loss. In the time of the apocalypse, there had been such legendary figures who were immensely powerful from birth, utterly astonishing.

Crack!

Smack!

Smack!

Facing the beautiful girl who continuously wielded her black whip in attack, Ye Tianchen, with the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box in his left hand, kept dodging. He was five or six meters away from the girl, and without any weapon in hand, it was somewhat difficult to attempt a close-range attack. Moreover, he noticed that every whip from the girl came with a surge of Inner Strength, which even scattered the air, leaving him to wonder what kind of powerful Yin Rou Internal Force Skill she had cultivated.

The beautiful girl’s agility was not weak. Although Ye Tianchen spoke lightly, he didn’t dare to take her lightly at all. If he were to be struck by that whip, charged with powerful Yin Power, he feared his skin would be torn, and his bones would break. Additionally, the girl’s fiery temperament was truly a cause for both laughter and tears—say one wrong word, and her whip would come at you.

"You can’t just dodge like this forever; sooner or later, you’ll be hit!" the beautiful girl said with an adorable laugh, seemingly reminding Ye Tianchen to be careful, but in reality, her attacks never ceased, and every lash of her whip was delivered with full force, deadly in its intent.

"With my handsome and dashing looks, would you really bear to strike me?" Ye Tianchen said as he dodged the whip the beautiful girl swung at him, rapidly closing the distance between them. Without a weapon in his hand, he couldn’t subdue the playful beauty without engaging in close combat.

Swoosh!

The beautiful girl shook her whip, and it shot straight out like a sword toward Ye Tianchen, who rolled to the left, avoiding the rapidly approaching black whip.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the beautiful girl’s black whip, missing Ye Tianchen, directly penetrated the stone lion behind him. Bao Tianglong, who was sitting in the car, was shocked as he hadn’t realized the girl wielding the whip was so formidable. If struck by that whip, a person would undoubtedly be pierced through. Even the stone lion, three or four meters thick and carved from the hardest granite, was easily penetrated, creating a large hole. One could only imagine what would happen if it struck a person.

But at that moment, Ye Tianchen unleashed his full strength at the King-level Superpower Realm, bringing his speed to the limit and quickly charging toward the beautiful girl. Honestly, the girl’s moves were strong, especially with that black whip in her hands, which when wielded, was mesmerizing, preventing anyone from easily getting close. Also, the Yin Power she practiced was very potent; if he didn’t take this opportunity to subdue her, it would become tough.

The beautiful girl, who had been playing around, suddenly saw Ye Tianchen charging at her so swiftly that he almost flashed before her eyes, causing her complexion to lose color. She hadn’t expected Ye Tianchen to be so formidable, able to increase his speed in an instant. From the beginning of her attack until now, Ye Tianchen had been dodging as if he had no power to fight back, pretending to lure her into complacency and underestimation.

"Ah!"

In a big panic, the beautiful girl screamed. She watched Ye Tianchen rushing over and tried to quickly retract her whip, but found it difficult to do so because the black whip that had pierced through the giant stone lion weighed a thousand pounds and wasn’t easy to lift.

"Beauty, time to face my move!" Ye Tianchen had already reached the beautiful girl and threw a punch her way.

"I’ll fight you!"

Suddenly, the beautiful girl bit her seductive lips, let go of the black whip in her right hand, and adorably formed her hands into palms, creating a Taiji Bagua Map in front of her chest to block Ye Tianchen’s punch.

Something bizarre happened. When Ye Tianchen’s fist struck the Taiji Bagua Map in front of the girl’s chest, it felt as if he had thrown a punch into the sea, his power completely neutralized by the Eight Diagrams. He was taken aback; he had not anticipated this at all. At that moment, the beautiful girl retracted her black whip and once again launched it at Ye Tianchen.

Thump!

The beautiful girl’s whip whistled through the air, missing its target, while Ye Tianchen also retreated two meters away from her, smiling as he looked at her. Indeed, the girl’s skills were not weak, and her moves were somewhat peculiar; it was Ye Tianchen’s first time encountering them, which was why he hadn’t subdued her easily.

"Stop! Hand the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box over to Miss Wei Xue!" At this time, Luo Yansong appeared at the entrance, speaking to Ye Tianchen.

"It’s just a broken stone; what’s so special about it? Take it!" Ye Tianchen shrugged his shoulders and threw the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box to the beautiful girl. As for the blood-stained remnant jade inside the box, Luo Yan had already taken it out.

Ye Tianchen turned to get into the car. The beautiful girl couldn’t help but bite her seductive lips, a little unhappy, and asked, "What’s your name?"

"Ye Tianchen!" After answering, Ye Tianchen got into the sports car and had Bao Tianglong drive away.

Watching Ye Tianchen leave, the beautiful girl couldn’t help but clench her fists tightly, bite her lips, and stomp her feet petulantly, muttering to herself softly, "Ye Tianchen, if you dare show up in front of me, Zhantai Weixue, again, I’ll definitely not let you go—I’ll beat you down for sure!"
