Chapter 17 Trading
Of course, Yan Lingji didn't understand the meaning of Yang Chong's words. Not to mention Yan Lingji, even the smartest person in the world would probably not be able to react after hearing what Yang Chong just said.

The people in this world would never imagine that all of them are just a name to Yang Chong in the past.

In Yang Chong’s past life, Yan Lingji was just a beautiful name worthy of liking, just a false existence. What Yang Chong liked was just that false existence, but now, Yan Lingji has become a living person.

When Yan Lingji appeared alive in front of Yang Chong, it was difficult for Yang Chong to fall in love at first sight, because he was also a person who only cared about others. When Yan Lingji was just a name, the danger to Yang Chong was just a stimulation besides her beauty, but now the danger of Yan Lingji was a real existence for Yang Chong.

As for the future, isn’t Yan Lingji a very charming woman?
Unfortunately, Yan Lingji didn't know that Yang Chong had known her for a long time, so naturally she couldn't understand Yang Chong's thoughts. However, Yan Lingji also had her own advantages, which was that if she couldn't figure something out, she would simply stop thinking about it. Otherwise, after being soaked in water for so many years, she would have collapsed long ago.

"Can I understand that you are saving me now not because you like me?" Yan Lingji asked back.

"Almost. I saved you because I want you to repay me for saving my life. I guess you are not the kind of person who would not repay a favor, right?" Yang Chong directly stated his purpose. He wanted to repay a favor.

"Of course not. I wonder how you want me to repay you?" Yan Lingji smiled. This was a familiar rhythm. She was really puzzled by the way Yang Chong had just barged in so stupidly.

"Be my bodyguard for three years. Don't think that three years is too long. I will tell you the whereabouts of the Red-browed Dragon Snake at that time." Yang Chong increased his bargaining chips. Yan Lingji's loyalty surpassed that of most men in this world, and Yang Chong knew this.

"Who are you?" Yan Lingji opened her eyes slightly and became more alert. Yang Chong told her the whereabouts of the Red-browed Dragon Snake, and it was obvious that he knew her background, which made her vaguely uneasy. It was a feeling of being controlled, and what Yan Lingji hated the most was being controlled, which was even more annoying than being imprisoned.

“Yang Chong, if I really want to talk about my identity, I would say…” Yang Chong thought for a moment, and thought of the six inheritances deep in his soul, and then said, “The contemporary heir of the six divisions of Emperor Yan.”

"The Six Tribes of Emperor Yan? Weren't they once farming families?" Yan Lingji asked in surprise.

Everyone in the world knows about the various schools of thought. Even though Yan Lingji was born in the land of Baiyue, she knew something about it. The Nong family was no exception. As the predecessor of the Nong family, the Six Tribes of Emperor Yan, Yan Lingji knew it even better. This was because the Six Tribes of Emperor Yan had a long history, tracing back to the ancient Emperors Yan and Huang and Chi You. Although the Baiyue people were very different from the Seven Kingdoms, their ancestry could still be traced back to the era referred to by the Six Tribes of Emperor Yan.

"The six tribes of Emperor Yan are the six tribes of Emperor Yan, and the Nong family is the Nong family." Yang Chong said.

"That's true. The six tribes of Emperor Yan are interesting." Thinking of the grievances and entanglements between the six tribes of Emperor Yan and the farmers, Yan Lingji felt that she had understood something.

If Yang Chong, who has the identity of the Six Tribes of Emperor Yan, knew her details and the whereabouts of the Red Eyebrow Dragon Snake, he might really know. After all, it is also the most ancient power. Even if it is replaced by the Nong Family, who can guarantee that there will be no fish that slip through the net? As the saying goes, a lean horse is still bigger than a donkey!

"But why is it three years of guarding and not more?" Yan Lingji asked again. Yan Lingji could understand the matter of guarding. Yang Chong had just subdued her, but Yan Lingji was not convinced. It was because she had been locked up for too long that she was a little weak. Moreover, the fire charm technique she used at the beginning backfired on herself because of improper use. Otherwise, Yang Chong might not be able to take her down.

Yan Lingji believed that if she gave herself a month to recover her vitality and develop the blood power accumulated over the years, she would be able to deal with Yang Chong. Therefore, Yan Lingji did not feel ashamed to be a bodyguard, but felt that Yang Chong had good vision. "Because after three years, I won't need anyone to protect me." Yang Chong said confidently. Three years was enough for him to complete the Nine Yin Manual. Even if he couldn't master it, it would be enough for him to gain a foothold in this world.

Looking at Yang Chong who suddenly became confident, Yan Lingji was a little confused. It was only three years, why did Yang Chong look like he would be invincible in three years?

"So domineering." Yan Lingji suddenly held her hands to her heart, looking like I admire you so much.

"You are so beautiful too." Looking at Yan Lingji, who looked fake in every detail, Yang Chong replied unhappily.

"You have a good taste, and mine should not be bad either." Yan Lingji's charming eyes were bent down, and she looked extremely pleased.

"So our deal is done?" Yang Chong asked.

Although he firmly believed that Yan Lingji would not refuse his conditions, he was still somewhat surprised that the cooperation was reached so smoothly.

"Agree. However, I have to remind you in advance that you must fulfill the conditions you mentioned when the time comes. Otherwise, even if I don't want to hurt you, I may not be able to do so." Yan Lingji warned. She could not refuse Yang Chong's conditions, but that did not mean that she completely believed in Yang Chong.

"Relax." Yang Chong looked indifferent. Yan Lingji's threat to him really had no killing power at all. Three years, if Yang Chong could still be controlled by Yan Lingji after three years, he might as well just kill himself.

Besides, Yang Chong had never thought of deceiving Yan Lingji. He really knew the whereabouts of the Red Eyebrow Dragon Snake. And three years later, even if Yang Chong did not tell Yan Lingji the whereabouts of the Red Eyebrow Dragon Snake, the Red Eyebrow Dragon Snake would take the initiative to come to him.

"I'm a little worried about you being like this." Yan Lingji frowned. She thought of what Yang Chong said just now. Three years later, Yang Chong would not need her protection. Could it also be said that three years later, Yang Chong would be confident that he would be much stronger than her?

Thinking of this, Yan Lingji added: "Women don't necessarily have to rely on martial arts to deal with men. I promise that if you lie to me, I will definitely use all the means a woman can use to retaliate against you. Don't underestimate a woman's desire for revenge."

"No matter who I choose to cheat, I will never cheat you!" Yang Chong followed Yan Lingji's words. If it was just verbal humility, Yang Chong didn't mind. After all, he wouldn't actually suffer any loss.

"I like to hear that." Yan Lingji relaxed her brows and said with a sweet smile. Her unique, gentle and charming voice echoed in the cave, sounding particularly beautiful.

Yan Lingji's beauty is more than just her appearance.
