Chapter 130

Outside the training room, Guan Ya watched the others carry Yuanshi through the living room and into the guest room before finally looking away, relieved.

Then, she pushed open the brown lacquered wooden door, glaring at Fu Qingyang in the training room. "You went too far! You don't watch what you say, then blame others for blabbing?"

Fu Qingyang was elegantly wiping his hands with a wet towel, and said calmly, "Every injury on Yuanshi was necessary. I grasped the measure very well."

"A leg was broken, and that's 'well'? You…" Guan Ya seemed to realize something, her angry expression receding as she scrutinized her cousin in astonishment. Suddenly, she exclaimed, "Oh~ Did she beat you up like that too?"

Fu Qingyang's face darkened. "None of your business."

Guan Ya laughed gleefully.

Fu Qingyang turned to Elder Dog, nodding. "Elder, the meeting is over. If there's nothing else, I won't see you out."

"Tsk, after advancing to Dominator, you're even more impolite," Elder Dog said.

The dog elder, who had been sitting, rose to its feet, lifted its paw, and stepped off the cushion. The next second, it vanished from the training room.

Seeing off the outsider, Fu Qingyang looked at his cousin, his brow slightly furrowed. "What's going on between you and Yuanshi? Are you two in a relationship?"

Guan Ya immediately denied it. "Of course not. But he is pursuing me, and I haven't agreed. Your cousin, I, never lack suitors."

Fu Qingyang said with a hint of sarcasm, "Ordinary suitors wouldn't make you so anxious. The tone and expression you used when questioning me earlier were as if I had killed your man." Before the Eyes of the Vanguard, any pretense was useless.

Guan Ya simply stopped pretending, shrugging. "I do have feelings for him. It's normal. He's good-looking, talented, and speaks nicely. He's much more attractive to women than a stoic like you who always puts on a cool act."

Fu Qingyang ignored his cousin's sarcasm. "I spoke with the family on the phone last night. The elders were pleased that you advanced to Saint. You've shown your talent very well, but that doesn't seem to be a good thing. The calls for a marriage alliance within the family are even louder now. For example, my dear aunt, and her long-divorced husband."

Guan Ya's expression changed slightly.

Fu Qingyang continued, "Your talent has delighted the Miller family. They believe you have Dominator potential and can give birth to descendants with superior bloodlines."

"Your father is honored. He can't wait to catch a flight to Songhai right now and drag you back for a marriage alliance. After all, as one of the ten major forces of the Heavenly Punishment organization, the Miller family is an important boost to his career."

Guan Ya's face darkened, and she sneered, "Then why doesn't he come?"

Fu Qingyang sneered as well. "Because this stoic cousin of yours told him that if he dared to set foot in Songhai, he would make Guan Ya a fatherless child."

Guan Ya breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Qingyang put away his sneer, and said calmly, "My attitude must be taken seriously by the family, but how long can I help you? A man should marry and a woman should wed. You're already twenty-six. It's hard to justify your cousin holding you back from marriage. This kind of thing can happen once or twice, but not a third time."

"Yuanshi Tianzun is very good. If there were no Miller family, I believe the elders would gladly approve of your relationship. But a genius, in the end, can't compare to a huge family."

Marrying into the Miller family would enhance the Fu family's influence overseas, and the political and commercial benefits would be immeasurable. These things cannot be given by the current Yuanshi.

"Admittedly, there are discerning investors in the family. Yuanshi has great potential, and many people are optimistic about him. But your fiancé's talent is also good, roughly half a piece of trash."

"So I guess the old fogeys in the family will probably arrange it like this: they will introduce young and beautiful women from the family to Yuanshi Tianzun, letting them replace you."

"To be regarded by you as half a piece of trash, that is indeed a dragon among men…" Guan Ya said, annoyed, "What are you thinking?"

"Don't ask me!" Fu Qingyang said coldly, "This is your private matter. You should handle it yourself. For major life events, always be your own master, so you can only blame yourself if you regret it."

"If you like Yuanshi and think you have a future with him, then fight the family to the end. If he can't give you a sense of security, and makes you pessimistic about the future, then marrying into the Carter family might not be a bad choice."

Fu Qingyang said, "I'm going upstairs to change. There are two guests coming later. Think carefully."

With that, he left the training room.

Future? What future do I have? He's so young, so alone… Guan Ya opened her mouth, but finally fell silent, standing alone in the training room for a long time.

…

On the soft bed, the Bunny Girl opened the first-aid kit, wiped the blood stains on Zhang Yuanqing's body with an alcohol swab, and then used external fixation equipment to fix the fractured bone of his right leg. When she finished, Zhang Yuanqing waved his hand. "Alright, I'll recover after lying down for half an hour."

With the self-healing ability of a Star Official, unless he died on the spot or couldn't regenerate a severed limb, all other injuries could be healed over time.

After the Bunny Girl left, Zhang Yuanqing glared at Bai Long, Qing Teng, and the others, angrily saying, "Don't post videos randomly, or I'll settle the score with you."

"Okay, okay!" Bai Long and the others responded in unison. "Yuanshi, you rest well. We won't disturb you." This group quickly exited the room. At the moment the door closed, Zhang Yuanqing heard Qing Teng say, "The video needs to be edited, cut out the nonsense time."

Then there was Li Dongze's voice, "Delete those close-up photos, they're not very elegant. Well, but if you can sell them for money, pretend I didn't say anything."

Zhang Yuanqing: "…"

"I'll settle the score with you when my leg is healed…" he muttered, closing his eyes, carefully savoring the battle with Fu Qingyang (before getting beaten). "Fu Qingyang is a Vanguard, his sword energy is sharp, and with his ability to always hit, he's invincible in a one-on-one…"

Although he restrained the power of rules with the specialty of a Night Wanderer, it was of little significance in actual combat. On the one hand, he didn't use props. Fu Qingyang, besides striking, couldn't use other means.

On the other hand, the "delay" of operating the body as a puppet was too high. It could only be used during sparring. In a life-and-death battle with this move, he would be slashed to death in minutes.

"Before I have a super-strong defense prop, I can't fight Fu Qingyang in close combat."

Just as he was thinking, the guest room door opened. Guan Ya, wearing loose training clothes, walked in. "Are you okay?" She glanced at the splint on Zhang Yuanqing's leg.

"It's a small problem. Sit down and chat with me for a while, and I'll be fine." Zhang Yuanqing patted the edge of the bed.

Guan Ya smiled charmingly. "You look like a little boy waiting for his mother to tell him a bedtime story."

She sat down on the bed, and Zhang Yuanqing immediately sat up, opening his arms to hug her small waist, grinning. "Actually, I'm a big bad wolf waiting for Little Red Riding Hood to fall into my trap…"

The moment his hand touched Guan Ya's tight waistline, she recoiled as if electrocuted, refusing to be intimate with him. Zhang Yuanqing was stunned, staring blankly at her.

A look of guilt flashed in Guan Ya's eyes. She opened her mouth, as if wanting to explain, but the words that came out were, "Yuanshi, don't always be like this…"

Zhang Yuanqing stared at her for a few seconds, slowly frowning. "Sister Guan Ya, what's wrong?"

"Nothing," Guan Ya shook her head, and said, "I just think, we, are just colleagues."

"You talk like a femme fatale…" Zhang Yuanqing said "Oh" and smiled. "Then go, I want to rest alone for a while."

Guan Ya was stunned instead, not expecting him to say such a thing. Her eyes darkened, and she said nothing more, turning to walk towards the guest room door.

"Ka cha."

Just as she turned the doorknob, intending to open the door, her body suddenly froze.

A cold force clung tightly to her back, and took away the right to use her body.

Guan Ya turned around uncontrollably, walking towards the edge of the bed. But her expression was not panicked, but rather puzzled, frowning and saying, "Yuanshi?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she fell uncontrollably onto the bed, into Zhang Yuanqing's arms.

Immediately afterwards, the spirit attached to her body disappeared, and the man beneath her immediately spread his arms, tightly holding her waist. "Yuanshi, you're using this trick again…"

Guan Ya placed her hands on either side of Zhang Yuanqing's body, raised her head, her eyes full of anger, and said angrily, "If you do that again like last night, I'll beat you up."

Although she spoke impolitely, compared to the loss and disappointment when she left just now, she felt better after being forcibly brought back.

Zhang Yuanqing said, "I won't take advantage of you. I just think we should talk. Any estrangement and misunderstanding comes from insufficient communication." Although he wasn't good at dating, he was an expert in interpersonal relationships. Affective misunderstandings wouldn't happen here. Seeing that Guan Ya didn't speak, he followed the topic and said, "What's wrong?"

Guan Ya hesitated for a moment, and smiled lightly, "It's nothing, it's just that your size is too small. I'm considering whether to change to a larger one."

However, what responded to her was not laughter or scolding. Zhang Yuanqing's eyes were incomparably calm, even profound. "Sister Guan Ya, if you only know how to escape, how can I enter your heart?" From Guan Ya's performance just now, he realized that there was a problem with the marriage palace, not just in social aspects, but in love as well. That was why he said those words earlier.

It had to be said that astrology didn't have the ability to directly confront enemies, but this skill was too useful. It could always remind you in advance. Even if there were deviations in the interpretation, you could wake up in time and deal with the existing problems.

Guan Ya was stunned, and her brows and eyes suddenly softened, smiling. "Yuanshi, it's the current you that gives me a little sense of security." She immediately put away her smile, and said in a low voice, "The family wants me to get married into the Carter family of the Heavenly Punishment organization, that's an even larger force than the Fu family. The Heavenly Punishment organization is all over the world, it's the largest and most powerful Lingjing organization."

"I ran away from the Fu family and sought refuge with Fu Qingyang to resist the family's marriage arrangement. I don't want to upgrade because of this either. The Carter family won't let a Transcendence realm woman give birth to the family's heir."

"But I didn't expect that they still hadn't given up on the idea of marriage. Later, Fu Qingyang told me that showing enough value would give me bargaining chips with the family."

"So that's the matter. I remember, Fu Qingyang mentioned the marriage matter… I remember the Chizuru Group of Japan, the master behind them is Heavenly Punishment. Asano Ryo should have a deep understanding of this organization, the Carter family…" Zhang Yuanqing thought for a while, and said, "You don't want to break with the family, and you're even more afraid that I'll offend the Fu family because of this, hindering my promotion, and you're also worried that the Fu family and the Carter family will be unhappy, causing losses?"

Guan Ya nodded with difficulty, "My parents divorced many years ago. I'm not close to my parents, but some elders and sisters in the family have a very good relationship with me. I don't want to break with the family. Without relatives, it's too lonely."

Zhang Yuanqing was about to say "Then what do you want to do?", when suddenly, the teachings of the life mentor floated into his mind~ The so-called sense of security is to take on everything in major events and solve all problems. He said, "You're a Saint now, even if you don't need the family's shelter and support, you can still live a very fulfilling life. Centurion reminding you to upgrade is telling you that being strong can get rid of family dependence."

Guan Ya was not comforted, nodding perfunctorily.

Zhang Yuanqing changed the subject. "At the latest by the middle of next year, at the earliest by the end of the year, I will advance to Dominator. Then I'll go to the Fu family to propose marriage. Isn't it easy for a dignified Dominator to marry a Fu family's discarded daughter?"

Guan Ya stared at him for a few seconds, as if confirming a certain intention. A smile finally appeared on her face, and she rebuked, "What's our relationship? Why should I marry you?"

Zhang Yuanqing's hand holding her slender waist slowly slid towards her hips. "What do you say our relationship is?"

Jinshan City.

The weather was gloomy. Unlike Songhai, where the rain was pouring, although the dark clouds extended to the adjacent Jinshan City, they brought coolness rather than rain. The busy people were still working hard for a living.

At the corner of the street, a young man wearing a blue safety helmet and a takeaway uniform was drinking milk tea boldly under the gloomy sky.

"Beiyue, when I was delivering takeaways yesterday, I touched a freelancer. I feel like I can develop him into a member of the Psionic Society, but I'm not sure if he's committed any crimes recently. I'm afraid of being targeted by people from the authorities."

The baby-faced Human Blood Bun regretted, "Damn Yuanshi… Sigh, be low-key, be low-key."

Kou Beiyue said calmly, "What's there to be afraid of? Yuanshi Tianzun is nothing more than that. Even if I stand in front of him, he wouldn't dare to kill me."

"Keep bragging!," Human Blood Bun was about to speak, when the phone on the table vibrated. He put down the milk tea, grabbed his phone, and scanned it. His pupils shrank sharply.

The message read: "A new reward has been added to the Human Rankings: Kou Beiyue, Mist Lord, Level 4. Reason for the reward: Yuanshi Tianzun's lackey. Reward amount…"

Human Blood Bun looked sharply at Kou Beiyue, narrowing his eyes.

Zhang Yuanqing's hand grabbed a "handful" of plump, greasy, and very elastic soft flesh. His fingertips groped through the thin, soft training pants and touched the lace inside. He raised his head to kiss Guan Ya, but she turned her head away, not letting him kiss.

This guy's kisses were too rough, and she didn't want to go out with a swollen mouth later. There were too many "miscellaneous people" in the villa.

Zhang Yuanqing settled for second best, and rain-like hot kisses fell on the old driver's slender, snow-white neck, licking like a dog. Soon, her body softened, and her eyes became charming.

The life mentor said that taking advantage was like attacking a city, one had to go deeper step by step, "one couldn't stand still…" Zhang Yuanqing freed a "hand" and reached into the hem of the training clothes, and upwards along the smooth jade back. With a snap, he unbuckled the bra strap.

Just as he was about to try some facial cleanser, there was a "dong dong" knock on the door.

Guan Ya's delicate body trembled, as if awakened from a dream. She sprang up from him, her face flushed, and her hands went around her back to buckle the bra. Then, she glared at him with a look that was more charming than fierce, and went to open the door.

Standing at the door was the Bunny Girl. First, she glanced at Guan Ya's flushed cheeks and charming eyes, then looked at Zhang Yuanqing lying on the bed, and said, "Mr. Yuanshi, Miss Annie and Mr. Bill want to see you. Young Master has agreed."
