Chapter 167 Zi Nu: I’m bankrupt?
Ji Wuye left in the end. On the one hand, without Luo Wang to take the blame, he could not bear the consequences of assassinating Master Shang. On the other hand, he was not sure he could kill Master Shang before Yang Chong killed him, so he chose to play dumb. He came clearly and left in a confused state.

Looking at Ji Wuye's departing back, Zi Nu finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the current disaster was over.

However, when the crisis was over, her thoughts were pulled back to reality. Her beautiful and bright purple eyes turned slowly to the Zi Lan Xuan, which had become a ruin and a sea of ​​fire. Just now, because Yang Chong was fighting desperately, her mind was drawn there and she had not noticed these things, but now...

A clear fact was laid before Zi Nu: my Zi Lan Xuan was gone.

When she realized this, she felt a pain in her heart. This was Zi Lan Xuan, the place she had built with all her wealth and several years of time, but now it was gone.

"Sister, our home is gone." Just when Zi Nu was immersed in heartache and hadn't noticed anything else, Nong Yu had already leaned close to her ear and said the most heartbreaking words in her soft and ethereal voice.

"I know." Zi Nu replied subconsciously.

"So, sister, we are homeless, and you are bankrupt." said Nong Yu.

Huh? Me? Bankrupt? Zi Nu's heart stagnated. Just now she only realized that Zi Lan Xuan was gone, but now Nong Yu told her that she was bankrupt.

Am I really bankrupt? Zi Nu's eyes moved back and forth among the ruins. Isn't Zi Lan Xuan her greatest asset?
After realizing this, Zi Nu felt a chill all over her body. Even though there were still flames burning in the ruins, her heart was chilled.

Looking at Zi Nu who looked like she had lost her parents, Nong Yu felt a little reluctant, but she had no choice. She had to make Zi Nu face the reality faster. Zi Lan Xuan was gone, and they needed to find another way out, and Yang Chong was their way out.

In Nongyu's cognition, running Zi Lan Xuan was just for survival. Now that Yang Chong could protect them and support them, why should they continue to run Zi Lan Xuan? Now that Zi Lan Xuan is gone, it may be a good thing for them.

Just when Zi Nu was immersed in the darkness of bankruptcy and unable to extricate herself, Han Fei was in a completely different mood. Luo Wang's killer was dealt with by Yang Chong, Ji Wuye also retreated on his own initiative, and the night in Zi Lan Xuan became beautiful again.

"Finally left, that's great, now I can rest assured."

"Mr. Nine, do we need to settle our accounts now?" Han Fei's good mood did not last long, and Zi Nu appeared in front of him.

Everything was caused by Han Fei, so Zilanxuan naturally wanted compensation from him.

"What account?" Han Fei felt a little uneasy. He sensed murderous intent from Zi Nu.

"Zi Lan Xuan's account." Zi Nu pointed to the ruins in front of her.

"It looks like this was broken by Yang Chong, right?" Han Fei looked at the ruins of Zi Lan Xuan in front of him with a stiff face. He couldn't afford to pay for such a big house, so he decided to put the blame on Yang Chong. After all, Yang Chong and Zi Nu were a family, and how they settled the accounts was their business, and he, Han Fei, could get rid of it.

"Hey, you invited me here, so it's enough that I don't ask you for money. Are you still trying to blackmail me?" Yang Chong said. What a joke. From now on, Zi Nu's things will belong to him, Yang Chong, and the money Zi Nu lost will also be his money. Now that Zi Lan Xuan is gone, Han Fei must pay for it.

"But I really have no money! If you see anything valuable on me, you can take it." The shameless Han Fei acted helplessly. This was his survival skill. Besides, he had no choice but to act like a rogue. If he wanted to build a Zi Lan Xuan and decorate it, he would need thousands of gold. Even if he sold Han Fei, he could not come up with so much money.

"Master Nine, you can't evade this debt." Yang Chong threatened. Han Fei was poor, but that didn't mean he didn't have ways to make money. A smart person only needed to lower his bottom line appropriately, and it would be easy to make money.

"Sima Yang, even if I owe a debt, it is to Miss Zinu. It seems to have nothing to do with you, right?" Han Fei was fighting for an opportunity for himself. He was confident that he could default on Zinu's debt, but he did not have such confidence towards Yang Chong.

"Master Ninth, do you think that Zi Nu is just a powerless woman and is easy to bully? Master Ninth is wrong to think so. Zi Nu is a member of my Yang family, and I am standing next to her." Yang Chong said. Although Yang Chong is richer than most people in Korea now, who would complain about having too much money?
"Ms. Zi Nu?" Han Fei looked at Zi Nu. Yang Chong was not easy to deal with, but Zi Nu was just a woman.

"He's right." Although she felt a little uncomfortable being called a member of the Yang family by Yang Chong in front of everyone, it was nothing compared to the shadow of bankruptcy.

"So I can't escape this time?" Han Fei was desperate. How could he pay back this debt?

"I will pay back the debt you owe, sir." At this time, Mr. Shang, the largest wealthy man present and also the largest wealthy man in the world, spoke up.

"I invested a lot of money in Zilanxuan in the beginning, and I have accumulated a lot of property in the past few years. Now they are all burned." Zi Nu looked at Master Shang. How could she forget that Han Fei was a pauper, but Master Shang was different. He was a real rich man, richer than anyone else in the world.

"Is ten thousand gold enough?" Master Shang directly gave a number.

"Ten thousand gold?" Zi Nu couldn't help but gasp when she heard that. The price of Zi Lan Xuan plus the decoration inside was at most three thousand gold. Even if the sisters' collections and private money were added, it would only be five thousand gold at most. But Master Shang directly quoted a price of ten thousand gold. This generosity...

Zi Nu wanted to say that the King of Qin was worthy of being the King of Qin. In the face of Master Shang's somewhat impatient gaze, she quickly said, "That's enough, that's enough. We don't need 10,000 gold coins. 5,000 will be enough."

"Since I said it is ten thousand gold, then it is ten thousand gold." Master Shang was very domineering and did not allow Zi Nu to bargain at all.

"Mr. Shang is so generous." Yang Chong put his arms around Zi Nu's slender waist and suppressed the words she was about to say. This silly woman didn't even know how to cherish the opportunity to make a fortune.

"Okay, now everything is resolved, and everyone is happy." Han Fei felt relieved. Finally, he was not the one who owed the debt.

"We still have to put out the fire. The next thing is up to you. Lord Sikou should be able to solve the problem." Yang Chong would not let Han Fei go. He had fought to the death that night, so how could he let Han Fei off easily? "That's no problem." Han Fei readily agreed. As long as he didn't have to pay money, he would do anything.

"But there is still a problem. Zi Lan Xuan has been destroyed. Where should you go, Master Shang, Wei Zhuang, and Zi Nu?" Han Fei looked at the women around him. There were quite a few women in Zi Lan Xuan, at least 50 or 60 of them. Some cooked, some performed, and some served wine...

Yes, where did all of us go? Zi Nu frowned. It was late at night, and it was not very convenient for a group of women to stay in an inn!

"Have you forgotten me? My home is big now, and it is no problem to accommodate hundreds of people." This is the time for Yang Chong to show off. The destruction of Zilanxuan is just what he wants. A group of women running a place of entertainment, there are so many things they can do if they want to survive, and showing off their charm is nothing.

He has no special hobbies. Since he had already decided to take Zi Nu into his room, there was no reason for him to continue letting her run Zi Lan Xuan. A place like Zi Lan Xuan, no matter how famous it was or how much money it made, was not a good place for a woman.

Yang Chong is not Han Fei. On the one hand, he talks about how a young man is passionate, but on the other hand, he allows the woman he likes and who likes him to continue to show up in public and flirt with other men.

"Yes, our house is very big. Not to mention you, Zi Nu, even if we add a Zi Lan Xuan, there is enough space for everyone to live here." Yan Lingji showed her status as the hostess at the right time. Although she acknowledged the existence of Zi Nu, it did not mean that she did not have her own little thoughts.

"Excuse me for bothering you." Zi Nu cooperated with Yan Lingji. What she was best at was dealing with women. As the saying goes, three women make a play, and four women make five factions. She was able to gather dozens of women of similar age but different personalities in Zi Lan Xuan and make them live in harmony and be as close as sisters. Naturally, she had outstanding skills in this aspect.

Now that they had a place to go, there was naturally no need to stay in the ruins of Zilanxuan, and everyone headed towards Yang Mansion.

After settling everyone down, Yang Chong soaked comfortably in the bath. Although the old man Luowang was not a true master, his true energy and sword intent were no different from those of a master, especially the master's true energy had undergone a transformation, melting a person's spiritual will and containing sword intent. It was not difficult for Yang Chong to plunder the other's true energy with his energy-absorbing technique, and he could not do it either. However, it was quite troublesome to completely digest it and turn it into his own true energy, and he could not do it in a short time.

Especially in order to suppress the sword intent of the Eight Swords of King Yue, he needs to use a huge part of his energy to suppress it. It can be said that now he has a master-level internal force, but the power he can actually exert is not as good as before.

"It's a bit troublesome." Yang Chong felt the flow of true Qi in his meridians. There was an addition of the sword intent of the Eight Swords of King Yue, which made the true Qi have eight completely different sharpnesses. The flow brought a great burden to the meridians, and even caused some pain.

"Did that person leave you with hidden injuries?" Yan Lingji took off her inner clothes and soaked herself in the water.

"There is a little problem." Yang Chong waved to Yan Lingji, and Yan Lingji naturally leaned into Yang Chong's arms.

"Is it troublesome?" Yan Lingji asked worriedly. The old man from Luowang was too strong. He and people like Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie didn't even have room to intervene. You can imagine how much pressure Yang Chong was under at that time. How could defeating such a person be without any price?

"It's quite troublesome, you see." Yang Chongyi pointed at the edge of the bathtub, and a hole appeared directly on the wall of the bathtub made of white jade.

“Isn’t this the Nine Yin Divine Claw?” Yan Lingji’s eyes focused. As she was also proficient in the Nine Yin Divine Claw, she could see that Yang Chong was just pointing out a finger casually at this time, and was not using the Nine Yin Divine Claw's force-generating technique.

"This is sword intent, the sword intent of the Eight Swords of King Yue. These sword intents are in my meridians. Not only can they not be a help to me at this moment, they will also become an obstacle for me. If I fight with others now, I can probably only exert 50% of my strength." Yang Chong said.

"Can it be resolved in the future?" Yan Lingji asked worriedly. The current situation of the two was not safe. Because of the matter of Master Shang, they and Ji Wuye had already semi-publicly torn their faces apart. Moreover, outside of Han, there were also farmers who were eyeing them covetously. If the enemy took action now, the two of them might not be able to stop them.

"Of course I can. Just give me some time to practice the energy-absorbing technique to perfection. Then I will be able to completely refine it to the master level. Is it difficult?" Yang Chong stroked Yan Lingji's smooth shoulders. Now he was thinking about how to use this matter to cheat others.

Should I claim to the public that I am seriously injured and can only attack three times in the future? Yang Chong pondered and thought of some settings deep in his memory. This is a good way to trick people.

Although there is no need to cheat people, it is fun after all!

Yan Lingji looked at the smile on Yang Chong's lips and felt relieved. Now she was sure that Yang Chong did not have any big problems, otherwise he would not have the intention to cheat him.

Realizing this, Yan Lingji's tense mind relaxed, and under the effect of hot water, her whole body became lazy. This was a wonderful leisure time.

Moreover... thinking that all the women from Zi Lan Xuan had moved into the house, Yan Lingji's heart moved. She had to keep an eye on Yang Chong. Although those beauties from Zi Lan Xuan were not as beautiful as her, they were all beautiful and charming, each with her own freshness. There was no man who did not like novelty. There were few men in Xinzheng who could resist the temptation of those women from Zi Lan Xuan.

Thinking of this, Yan Lingji's body, leaning on Yang Chong's arms, slowly slid down and sank into the water.

In addition to her talent for fire, Yan Lingji has another talent, which is the ability to survive in water. But is she using this talent in the wrong place now?
But you have to say, there are really not many people who have the ability to survive in the water. It is definitely a magical skill.

Other women can't hold their breath underwater for so long.

If not, how could Yang Chong know what is generally water and generally fire?
The war started again, but he seemed unable to refuse, and he could not lose the war this time either.

Although Yan Lingji could make him surrender every time, she also had to pay a huge price.

Look, after a long time, Yan Lingji was carried away.

Can't walk anymore.
