"Who is this Suxin Zhen Nü, you old hag?" Lin Shuang asked, utterly bewildered.
Granny Ma was clearly enraged by her question.
She immediately floated up from the ground.
This scene left Lin Shuang greatly alarmed.
"She can fly?" Chen Jie was also incredibly surprised.
This was the first time he had seen someone fly besides himself.
Even more surprising to him was that she was Suxin Zhen Nü's master.
"Wait, did you already see me in the canyon before?" Chen Jie asked, as if recalling something.
"Brat, you have sharp eyes indeed, to have noticed my surveillance. But even so, what of it? You will die regardless!"
Granny Ma waved her hand, her long sleeves transforming into a silken ribbon, which unfurled and snaked towards Chen Jie and Lin Shuang.
"Ah!"
Chen Jie and Lin Shuang quickly dodged, but Granny Ma's ribbon seemed to have eyes of its own. The moment they evaded it, it pursued them once more.
Bang!
Lin Shuang couldn't dodge in time and was struck, sent flying back as if hit by a powerful blow, her face pale.
Had Chen Jie not caught her, her body would have likely collided with the rocks, sustaining serious injuries.
"Chen Jie!"
"Let's go quickly!"
Chen Jie, without a word, scooped up Lin Shuang and fled into the distance.
He couldn't use his cultivation abilities right now, or Zhou Yu would discover his identity.
What shocked Chen Jie was that this Granny Ma was far more than an ordinary martial artist. Her strength was not weaker than his own.
"Trying to escape? Hmph! Do you think you can get away?"
Granny Ma sneered and waved her hand again, the ribbons extending outwards as if they were inexhaustible.
Soon, they formed a curtain, blocking the two of them.
Chen Jie's expression turned solemn as he drew his bronze sword and slashed wildly.
Puff puff puff...
The ribbons were instantly cut into countless fragments, but it was useless. As soon as some were severed, others immediately filled the gap.
"What should we do?" Lin Shuang looked at Chen Jie anxiously, despair etched on her pretty face.
"Trying to stop me? Let's see if my sword is faster than your fabric!"
Chen Jie's expression turned cold, and he drew his sword again, slashing furiously.
Although progress was slow, it was effective to some extent.
Chen Jie gradually moved further away.
As long as he could create some distance, Chen Jie could use his cultivation techniques, and Granny Ma would be no match for him then.
"You little scumbag, still trying to run away! Since I dared to come for you, how could I let you escape?"
"Be destroyed!"
Granny Ma struck out with a palm, and an aromatic wave of air rushed towards Chen Jie.
Chen Jie instantly sensed something was wrong.
For he detected no power in this palm strike, only a strange, subtle fragrance.
The moment he inhaled the fragrance, Chen Jie's mind reeled.
...
"Charm techniques again?" Chen Jie's expression shifted slightly.
The charm techniques used by Granny Ma and Suxin Zhen Nü were on completely different levels, and Granny Ma's was not inferior to his own.
This caused Chen Jie to fall under the spell.
Realizing the opponent's formidable power, he directly sent Lin Shuang away with a palm strike: "You escape quickly!"
Lin Shuang's body moved away from Chen Jie, but she soon returned, unwilling: "No! We go together!"
In that brief moment of turning back, Lin Shuang also inhaled the subtle fragrance, and her pretty face immediately contorted with struggle.
Her eyes, when they looked at Chen Jie, were filled with desire.
"Damn it!"
Chen Jie instantly realized something was wrong, but it was too late.
"Hahaha... Chen Jie, in the canyon you used my Hehuan Palm, leaving behind the ten elders of the Shadow Sect. Now, I'll let you taste the true power of the Hehuan Palm. What do you think?" Granny Ma's seductive voice reached Chen Jie's ears.
So, the palm strike Chen Jie used to hold back the ten elders of the Shadow Sect was called the Hehuan Palm.
He had learned it from Suxin Zhen Nü's charm arts.
It was something Chen Jie had comprehended from...
Oh no!
Lin Shuang in his embrace was held tightly by Chen Jie's strong arms.
In the last moment before losing consciousness, Chen Jie felt a stir from his storage ring and instinctively took something out.
Then, his body lost control.
"Hmph, quite a show. If you hadn't killed my precious disciple, I might have kept you as my slave!" Granny Ma said with a cold laugh, looking at Chen Jie's body.
"Let me add some more spice for you!"
Granny Ma unleashed several more Hehuan Palms in succession.
Simultaneously, a sheepskin scroll fell from Lin Shuang's body.
It was their marriage contract.
It turned out she had been carrying it all along.
The moment the scroll fell, the scroll Chen Jie instinctively pulled from his storage ring also unfurled automatically.
It was also a marriage contract!
The two marriage contracts combined, emitting a golden light that shielded Chen Jie and Lin Shuang.
"What's happening?" Granny Ma's expression was filled with suspicion and uncertainty.
This scene gave her a bad premonition.
"Could it be a martial arts inheritance?"
"Damn it, who exactly is this Chen Jie?" Granny Ma's face changed.
She quickly decided to stop playing and deal with Chen Jie first.
With a wave of her hand, a white cloth flew towards Chen Jie like a deadly chain.
With a muffled thud, the white cloth was blocked by the golden light, unable to attack Chen Jie at all.
"No!" Granny Ma cried out a mournful scream, then attacked the golden light desperately.
But the golden light seemed indestructible; no matter how she attacked, it could not disturb the two within.
"I will kill you!" Granny Ma's face was extremely grim.
However, she also knew that her actions were futile, so she shot Chen Jie a hateful glare and turned to leave.
After an unknown period, the golden light gradually dissipated.
Chen Jie and Lin Shuang's eyes gradually regained clarity.
"We..." Realizing what had happened, Lin Shuang's pretty face quickly flushed.
She was currently embracing Chen Jie, their contact extremely intimate.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen either," Chen Jie said awkwardly.
"It's, it's okay, no one saw anyway," Lin Shuang said shyly.
"No one saw? Hmph! I watched you for two whole days! You lovebirds, two days! Do you know how I spent those two days?" A discordant voice cut through the air.
Granny Ma's figure reappeared.
She had been waiting for the golden light to fade for the past two days. She had accumulated a great deal of resentment.
This made Lin Shuang cry out in a frightened gasp.
Chen Jie quickly pushed Lin Shuang away. The moment he did, Lin Shuang let out a trembling cry, incredibly alluring.
Although Chen Jie felt a stir from her cry, he knew now was not the time. He immediately picked up the clothes on the ground and threw them to Lin Shuang, dressing himself as well.
"Is this... our marriage contract?" Suddenly, Chen Jie saw two sheepskin scrolls on the ground.
