Chapter 107 - Granny Snake (2/2)

“So this is the girl hand picked by Young Master? She has the body of a pure Yin element?”

“So what? She is also my granddaughter. Is there is a problem, Bai Wuji?” Granny Snake asked cautiously.

“Your granddaughter… Haha! What a nice granny. You are pus.h.i.+ng your granddaughter to her own grave.” Bai Wuji glanced at Yu Wenjin pitifully and said: “Little girl, do you know why the young master chose you?”

“Why?” Although she didn’t like the intruder one bit, curiosity drove her to ask.

The question was rooted in her mind for a while now. As the young master, he could be with any woman he wanted to, why would he chose her before she even came of age?

“Shut up!” Granny Snake shouted, and her face turned pale.

“Haha! That is because your body contained Arcane Yin Energy.” Bai Wuji laughed out loud. “Being the Vessel of the Arcane Yin Energy is a blessing to a cultivator; moreover, the energy inside of you can be used by others to improve their cultivation.”

“I have heard that the young master had a secret art which he would plant a seed in other people’s body that will feed on its host’s energy. Once the seed was fully grown, he would reap the product and use it to improve his cultivation. They say that such a method can bring a Dao-Reaching Level Master straight into the level of Dharma Cultivation.”

Bai Wuji shook his head as he explained.

“That was the young master’s plan. His father had achieved his level of attainment through the same process, and now his son is trying to do that same thing. If that happens, the balance of power will be disrupted, so we will have to stop him.”

“Granny, is that true?” Yu Wenjin asked Granny Snake incredulously.

Granny Snake’s wrinkled face twitched slightly and then she replied under her breath: “That is the only way. The Young Master is mighty and powerful; he is not someone the Yu family wants to get in the way of. Plus, Young Master’s secret art will only draw the Arcane Yin Energy out of your body, but he won’t hurt you. The Young Master had promised to us that once he had finished using the art on you, he will marry you as his wife.”

She went on excitedly: “Xiao Jin, no matter how difficult and painful it will be, it is worth it to have Young Master as your husband.

“By then, no one would dare to defy you, nor the Yu Family.”

“Granny!” Yu Wenjin moaned ruefully as her heart sank to the bottom.

“That’s enough talking!” Bai Wuji bellowed “Get out of my way, I am taking her with me.”

“Bai! How dare you! Aren’t you afraid of the Young Master’s wrath?” Granny Snake Shrieked.

“I didn’t come alone. I know that you Granny Snake reached the mid-stage of the Dao-Reaching Level. With the help of Zhang Ben, you can kill me with ease.” Bai Wuji laughed.

Behind him, a few more shadowy figures emerged.

They had scaled the wall and entered the house from the back door, blocking Granny Snake’s way out. All three fighters moved nimbly in the darkness, only revealing the glint from their eyes. It was obvious that all three of them were internal force users.

“The six families forged an alliance; In addition to the Bai Family, there are the Li, Yuan, Gong…”

With every name that came out from Bai Wuji’s mouth, surprise flashed in Granny Snake’s eyes.

However, she was unfazed by the development. She snorted and then said: “Six families, so what? You are no match against the Young Master. When the Young Master arrives, you will all be dead.”

Bai Wuji laughed again and replied: “Don’t you find it strange that only I am here but not the other five families?”

Granny Snake’s face paled.

Bai Wuji continued: “The grandmasters of the other five families were already on their way to meet the Young Master. Although they might not be able to kill him, they could at least slow him down for another three days. That should be enough time for me.”

Hearing that, Granny Snake could no longer keep her calm.

Suddenly, she pushed Yu Wenjin toward Zhang Ben and shouted: A”Take her and leave. Find the Young Master. I will stop them.”

Before she finished her words, the green snake by her feet shot out at Bai Wuji. Granny’s eyes turned green as she recited a spell. She stomped the ground with one foot forcefully and summoning a cloud of green smoke.

“Poison!” Bai Wuji and the other three a.s.sa.s.sins backed away.

When the green smoke dissipated, they saw only Granny Snake standing in the courtyard; Both Zhang Ben and Yu Wenjin were gone.

When Chen Fan saw the two, they were running on the high way. Zhang Ben carried Yu Wenjin with one large arm while running like there was no tomorrow.

“What is going on?”

Chen Fan was confused. This was not what he had expected at all.

“Is she going to run away with her uncle?”
