"I'll give you one minute to think about it."
"Then we'll give you one minute to think about it too," Zhang Ling said, stunned.
Zheng Qingshu knew Chen Jie's identity was extraordinary. Even Lu Changbu treated him with great respect.
But he didn't know whether Lu Changbu treated him that way because of the incredibly powerful Lin Mengjiao, or because of Chen Jie's supreme status.
He couldn't help but worry about Chen Jie, saying, "Teacher Chen, quickly call Brother Lu's father! He can save us!"
"You know I know him?" Chen Jie asked, surprised.
"Yesterday, at Qianlong Villa, I saw you! Teacher Chen, there's no time to hesitate, hurry and ask him to save us!" Zheng Qingshu urged Chen Jie anxiously.
Chen Jie said, "There's still half a minute!"
"Half a minute? Kid, it seems you won't give up until you see the Yellow River. We don't even need to wait half a minute. Come with me to my room now, and I'll give you a good time!"
Zhang Jiuhua yelled at Zhang Ling, "Get him into the room, I'll go first!"
"Okay!"
Zhang Ling nodded and quickly moved to support Chen Jie's body.
"Stop! Don't touch Teacher Chen!"
Zheng Qingshu quickly stepped in front of Chen Jie.
But the next second, with a bang, Zhang Ling's palm directly struck Zheng Qingshu's chest. Zheng Qingshu's body flew backward like a cannonball.
"Teacher Chen, I advise you to cooperate with me obediently. It won't hurt at all; instead, it will be very comfortable! Otherwise, you might suffer greatly!"
Saying this, Zhang Ling grabbed Chen Jie's shoulder and was about to drag him into the room.
"Hmm? What's going on?"
Zhang Ling was surprised to find that she couldn't move Chen Jie's body at all.
"Get lost!"
Chen Jie let out a light shout, then struck out with his palm.
With a loud noise, Zhang Ling was sent flying backward.
A trace of blood also trickled from the corner of her mouth.
"Good boy, you're actually a martial artist too. I underestimated you! However, no matter how strong you are today, it's useless!"
Zhang Jiuhua, standing nearby, waved her hand, and the white cloth hanging from the chandelier immediately returned to her hand.
She waved again, and the white cloth flew towards Chen Jie like a sack.
Pfft, pfft...
With a few light sounds, the white cloth, like a bag, bound Chen Jie tightly.
Zhang Jiuhua sneered, and with a sudden pull, she tried to pull Chen Jie to her side.
But she was soon surprised.
Because she couldn't move Chen Jie at all.
Instead, Chen Jie looked at her mockingly.
"One minute is up!"
Pfft!
Chen Jie struggled with all his might, and the white cloth on his body broke apart and fluttered in all directions.
"Damn it! Teacher Chen is this powerful?"
Seeing this, Zheng Qingshu's eyes widened, and he looked at Chen Jie with immense admiration.
"You, who exactly are you?" Zhang Ling asked in shock, pointing at Chen Jie incredulously.
"I am someone you cannot afford to offend!"
As soon as Chen Jie finished speaking, he immediately controlled the remaining white cloth and swung it forward.
These white cloths immediately wrapped around Zhang Ling tightly, and then Chen Jie pulled, Zhang Ling's entire body flew towards him.
"Zhang Ling, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it, so I'm sorry!"
Chen Jie's face turned cold, and he slapped Zhang Ling's head.
Zhang Ling screamed, and the energy from Chen Jie's palm made her soul tremble.
She was terrified.
"Little beast, let go of my daughter quickly!"
Zhang Jiuhua was shocked and rapidly approached Chen Jie, simultaneously drawing a dagger from her waist and stabbing towards Chen Jie.
Chen Jie, who was about to strike Zhang Ling to death, suddenly stopped and looked at Zhang Jiuhua with a smile.
"Busted! I fell for it!"
Zhang Jiuhua exclaimed, and just as she was about to dodge, it was too late.
Chen Jie directly grabbed her wrist and, with a crack, twisted it.
Ah!
Zhang Jiuhua let out a hoarse scream.
The next second, Chen Jie kicked her legs.
Thump.
Zhang Jiuhua fell face-first.
"Now, how have you considered my proposal?"
Chen Jie asked again.
These two women were not very strong, only at the Earth level.
Chen Jie dealt with them without even needing to use his cultivation abilities.
"You're forcing me!"
Zhang Jiuhua looked up, staring fiercely at Chen Jie.
Then, a special, subtle fragrance emanated from her, spreading outwards.
As Chen Jie smelled this fragrance, his heart trembled.
He felt as if the unsightly Zhang Jiuhua in front of him had transformed into an extremely alluring and fresh beauty.
Chen Jie's body unconsciously moved closer to Zhang Jiuhua.
Xia Quan and Zheng Qingshu were even more exaggerated.
As they smelled the scent, their eyes widened, and their faces showed a lecherous expression.
Their legs trembled uncontrollably.
They could barely walk and could only crawl towards Zhang Jiuhua on the ground.
"You're very strong, very impressive? Ultimately, you can't escape my charm techniques! I've encountered experts like you before, but they all met their end!"
"I originally wanted you to give us some money and let you go, but you angered me, so die!"
Zhang Jiuhua slapped towards Chen Jie's forehead.
At this moment, Zhang Ling's body trembled, and she cried out, "No! Mother, you can't kill him!"
"Why?" Zhang Jiuhua asked, puzzled.
"He's a good friend of Li Ziling! I can't let him die, or Li Ziling will hate me!"
Zhang Ling had a good relationship with Li Ziling, Ah Zhu, and others.
Moreover, she felt that she and Li Ziling shared the same fate as unfortunate individuals. Therefore, she considered Li Ziling a friend in her heart and did not want Li Ziling to suffer.
"Hesitant and indecisive, how can you get things done? You help others, but who will help us mother and daughter? Get out of the way!"
As Zhang Jiuhua was about to make a move, Zhang Ling rushed forward to stop her.
Bang!
Zhang Jiuhua slapped Zhang Ling across the face, making her eyes spin and staggering her back more than ten steps.
Zhang Jiuhua roared, "This brat's identity is extraordinary, and he's likely of high status. He must be eliminated to avoid future trouble!
If you dare to stop me again, I'll cripple you!"
Saying this, she slapped towards Chen Jie's forehead again.
Chen Jie suddenly raised his right hand and grabbed her wrist.
"You... How is this possible! You clearly fell for my charm technique!" Zhang Jiuhua exclaimed in disbelief.
Chen Jie smiled mockingly, "You call spiritual power 'charm technique'? Well, in a sense, you are indeed a bit stronger than me."
It turned out that Chen Jie had been faking it all along.
The reason he did this was that he was surprised by Zhang Jiuhua's ability.
Zhang Jiuhua was clearly using spiritual power, but her spiritual power seemed to have a tangible form, turning into an odor to confuse enemies.
This gave Chen Jie some inspiration; perhaps he could do the same.
However, the reason he didn't kill Zhang Jiuhua was because of Zhang Ling.
He didn't expect that Zhang Ling would choose to save him at the critical moment. Although she failed, it also made Chen Jie realize that Zhang Ling was not inherently evil.
With a slap, Chen Jie sent Zhang Jiuhua flying.
