The bathroom was filled with playful and dreamy sounds that gave rise to endless reverie.
Finally, Zhang Chenran let Nan Rongni go after she begged for mercy.
"Are you being stubborn again? You're trying to be strong even though you're clearly in trouble?"
Sitting in the bathtub, Zhang Chenran looked down at Nan Rongni in his arms.
"Don't you know whether I am tough or not?" Nan Rongni curled her lips.
After he finished speaking, Zhang Chenran's eyes darkened slightly. He put his hand on the back of her head and prepared to stand up.
"Chen Ran, I, I was wrong. I won't be stubborn anymore. Let me rest for a while."
Nan Rongni's face changed and he quickly apologized.
"Hmm!!!"
Nan Rongni groaned in pain when her buttocks were pinched hard.
But Zhang Chenran had no intention of continuing, which made her feel relieved.
"You seem to be disobedient again." Zhang Chenran said unhappily.
"I said it subconsciously because of my previous habit." Nan Rongni looked aggrieved.
When Zhang Chenran abused her in the past, she always deliberately said something to provoke Zhang Chenran, venting her dissatisfaction and unwillingness to admit defeat.
But when she couldn't hold on any longer, she would still beg for mercy. Even if she begged for mercy in a humble tone, Zhang Chenran would not let her go.
"What? You want to go back to the time when I always bullied you?" Zhang Chenran raised his eyebrows.
"As long as... as long as you don't really want to hit me." Nan Rongni said in a low voice.
Zhang Chenran did not answer her question:
"Your mother said that the Mu family will come to the Nanrong family to interrogate you in a few days?"
"Yeah." Nan Rongni nodded and raised her beautiful eyes full of expectation.
"Don't worry, no one can touch you with me here. By the way, will Mu Tingying come too?" Zhang Chenran asked.
Why are you still thinking about others at this time? The woman Nan Rongni was a little dissatisfied, but she didn't show it. She responded:
"She was the one who told me that the Mu family would send someone. This time she will come with my aunt."
"To what extent will the Mu family blame us?" Zhang Chenran continued to ask.
He still cares about me. Nan Rongni was delighted, and all his previous dissatisfaction disappeared:
"With my aunt's relationship, the Mu family won't be too embarrassed. At most, they will vent their anger on the family to squeeze out more value."
"Will you be sad if I beat up your aunt?" Zhang Chenran lifted her chin.
"Ah?" Nan Rongni opened her mouth slightly, her beautiful eyes full of surprise and confusion.
But soon, she remembered Zhang Chenran's arrogant behavior in the lobby of Nanrong Family, and she immediately understood.
"I support you no matter what you do," she smiled.
"This matter was caused by you, but there is nothing I can do. It's your fault that you acted on my own." Zhang Chenran was a little helpless.
But if you think about it, this seems like a good start.
Sooner or later I will have to deal with the aristocratic families in the country anyway, so I might as well take this opportunity to start.
"By the way, how is the construction on Fanxue Mountain going?" Zhang Chenran asked.
"It took a while to clear the territory, and now we're just starting to take care of it. Construction hasn't started yet," said Nan Rongni.
"So, you pay people for free and still do hard labor?" Zhang Chenran had a blank expression.
"Well, that's because you and Mo Fan are so close, and the Zhao family also paid for it." Nan Rong Ni retorted weakly.
"You are really silly and cute now. In this world, who has good connections enough to work for others for free or pay for hard labor?" Zhang Chenran pinched her face.
"This is also an investment for me." Nan Rongni lowered his head.
"Where is the Fanxue Mountain area?"
"North of Asuka City."
"So close? No wonder you invested your time and effort."
"Fanxue Mountain is not far from here, do you want to go and take a look?"
Zhang Chenran thought about it and said, "Okay."
...…
The area of Fanxue Mountain is located in the north of Feiniao City and is a very special piece of land.
It is a piece of flat land cut out by two narrow mountains, and the terrain is higher than that of Asuka City.
Zhang Chenran flew into the air while holding Nan Rongni, who pointed to an area on the ground and said:
"It's right there. This piece of land was chosen by Ning Xue. It's broad and flat, with perfect mountain screens on the left and right sides. If this place didn't belong to Anjie, the Lin family might have developed Feiniao City towards this side."
Zhang Chenran also looked over.
This land is only separated from the ocean by a mountain. Although its resources are not abundant, they are by no means barren.
Originally this land belonged to the Yaan territory and it was difficult to include it in the city's territory. Even if one wanted to clean it up, it would require a large amount of money.
Even the well-known Lin family in the country was unwilling to spend a large sum of money to hire a wizard to clean up.
The funds Mu Ningxue had were only enough to buy land, and it was basically impossible for her to use the funds to hire a magician to clean up the area.
Later, with the "investment" of the Zhao family and the Nanrong family, Mu Ningxue bought it.
After a period of cleanup, people from the Hunter Alliance, the government, and the military came out to investigate and classified the land as Fanxue Mountain's territory.
"The Dali family wanted to prevent Fanxue Mountain from being established. With the means of the Dali family, how did Fanxue Mountain get the authorized territory of this land?" Zhang Chenran was a little confused.
"Zhao gave too much." Nanrong Ni said faintly.
Zhang Chenran suddenly realized that it was Old Zhao who took action.
It seems that this guy should be doing very well in the clan. I wonder if he has succeeded in becoming the patriarch of the Zhao clan.
Overall, the Nanrong family contributed, but not much.
Fanxueshan was actually established with the help of the Zhao family.
Otherwise, the punishment Nan Rongni would face would not be as simple as Mu's questioning.
A suburban house outside Feiniao City.
This seems to be a temporary gathering place for the Fanxueshan members.
"Advanced level three? Why is your cultivation still so low?" Zhang Chenran was very surprised.
"I've improved so fast, okay? After returning from the Parthenon, I've worked hard and now I've reached the third level of both lightning and fire!" Mo Fan was furious and asked:
"I can't quite see through you, Chen. Have you already reached a higher level?"
"Well, he has just entered the super level not long ago, and his highest cultivation level is only the second level of the super level." Zhang Chenran said lightly.
I shouldn't have asked if I had known. Mo Fan's happiness at seeing his old friend disappeared in an instant, and he was mumbling something. Judging from his mouth shape, it didn't seem to be a good thing.
The other members of Fanxueshan were not here, probably because they were all busy with their own things. Only Mo Fan, who knew nothing about anything, could not help much and had nothing to do but stay here.
"I went to find Ning Xue." Nan Rongni said.
Watching her leaving, Mo Fan couldn't help but sigh,
"Chen, you are such a beast. Not only are you two-timing, but you even openly announced it."
"You are jealous." Zhang Chenran heard the sourness in his tone.
"Oh, now Xinxia has left the Parthenon and returned to me. My wives are all by my side. What is there to be envious of?" Mo Fan shrugged his words.
"Yinyun and Ni'er are willing to serve me together."
"Fuck you, bastard!"
"You are worse than a beast"
