Without turning around, the man was about to strike behind him, a move as swift and ruthless as a venomous snake turning its head.
But it was all over. Qin Chuan remained calm and composed, the not-so-fast attack striking the man's back.
*Pfft!*
The man coughed up blood and flew backward, landing heavily on the ground, blood gushing from his mouth and his nose wheezing.
It was uncertain whether he would survive.
All of this happened in an instant. Qin Chuan was slightly surprised, astonished by the power of his Buddha Hand technique.
Also, while the Buddha Hand technique looked somewhat clumsy, it was actually incredibly smooth and effortless to use. It
even felt refreshing and invigorating, a feeling of mastery that was wonderful. However, this was his first time using it, and he was a little clumsy. Although the movements were practiced, the feeling was still somewhat awkward. But after a few more uses, he got the hang of it.
Xuan Yuan Honglie was stunned, staring at Qin Chuan. He knew his people's strength best, especially that man's.
But now he couldn't even withstand a single move. He could do that too, but how old was the person opposite him? He had already reached his peak, and further advancement was virtually impossible.
This young man had immense potential; his future achievements would far surpass his own. What should he do now?
This was the most pressing question. Once a decision was made, one had to take responsibility for it and bear the consequences. Reaching this point wasn't just about impulsiveness.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have lasted long. A powerful martial artist wasn't just strong in cultivation; they also needed a sharp mind, or they wouldn't even know how they died.
After all, one person couldn't fight the entire world, and one family couldn't fight everyone. In a social group, because of blood ties and interests, everyone needed to integrate into a collective.
After all, everyone has countless equals and countless beings who surpass them. One must be prepared for danger in times of peace; without a brain, death is swift.
At this moment, Xuan Yuan Honglie was extremely conflicted, mainly because he lacked the confidence to kill Qin Chuan. Otherwise, he could have directly killed Qin Chuan, nipping any threat in the bud, and there would have been no threat at all.
Then he wouldn't have to worry so much.
However, he also knew that even if he could kill him, he wouldn't dare. Such a powerful young expert must have a powerful backer.
That was common sense; at the very least, whoever nurtured such a talent was already an incredibly formidable figure.
Killing this young man would likely attract unwanted attention. Therefore, when Qin Chuan revealed his strength, and given the presence of many people around, Xuan Yuan Honglie dared not do anything to Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan smiled as he looked at Xuan Yuan Honglie. Having come this far, he understood the reason, so he wasn't worried about himself.
Not only was he strong enough to protect himself, but even if he couldn't defeat the other party, he didn't need to worry about his life. In
fact, he wouldn't be in any immediate danger.
Unless he encountered some special individuals—desperate criminals with greater power than Qin Chuan—who might set their sights on him, then things would be unpredictable.
There was also the possibility of being imprisoned. Ordinary imprisonment wasn't a concern; Qin Chuan possessed the Five Elements Immortal Banner and the Shrinking Earth Ruler, which couldn't imprison him. The only
real concern was imprisonment with special treasures, the kind that prevented escape.
Fortunately, Qin Chuan was now skilled and daring, unafraid of his opponents. If they wanted to play, Qin Chuan would play along until the very end.
Qin Chuan slowly walked towards Xuan Yuan Honglie.
But just then, Fan Qingchen softly spoke up, "Qin Chuan, forget it, let's go!"
Qin Chuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay!"
He pulled Fan Qingchen away directly. This time, Xuan Yuan Honglie was quite perceptive and didn't say anything, nor did he try to stop Qin Chuan.
If he dared to utter a sound, Qin Chuan would have crippled him without hesitation, no matter who he was. If Fan Qingchen hadn't spoken up, Qin Chuan wouldn't have let him go.
This woman spoke up, so Qin Chuan would let them off this time. If they still didn't know what was good for them, then they shouldn't blame him for being impolite.
After being disturbed like this, they lost their mood to continue sightseeing, so they simply went back. Going back was easy; they instantly appeared on the small hill.
Fan Qingchen wasn't in a bad mood at all; on the contrary, she looked at Qin Chuan with a strange expression, which made Qin Chuan a little uncomfortable.
"Um, don't look at me like that, I'm shy!" Qin Chuan said shyly.
*Pfft!
* Fan Qingchen couldn't help but laugh. This was the first time Qin Chuan had seen her laugh like that, and it was truly breathtaking. For a moment, he felt as if he were surrounded by beauty.
"Silly boy, what are you staring at?" Fan Qingchen looked at Qin Chuan staring blankly at her, her face inexplicably turning red.
That faint blush, so subtle, yet it streaked across Qin Chuan's world like a shooting star.
Beautiful, so incredibly beautiful, breathtaking. He couldn't help but reach out and gently touch Fan Qingchen's face.
Warm and smooth as jade, Fan Qingchen didn't flinch or block him, but looked into Qin Chuan's eyes, her expression softening.
He reached out and grasped the hand that was on her face, then held Qin Chuan's hand, and softly said, "Don't look!"
"You're so beautiful, if you don't let me look, who will?" Qin Chuan laughed.
"No one will look!"
"Wouldn't that be a waste? From now on, only let me look, okay?" Qin Chuan leaned closer to her and said softly.
Fan Qingchen blushed, her long eyelashes drooping and trembling slightly, making her even more captivating.
"Qingchen, you're so beautiful!" Qin Chuan said softly.
Fan Qingchen felt a little flustered; she didn't know why she felt this way, a feeling she had never experienced before.
Qin Chuan, seeing the change in Fan Qingchen, was overjoyed, because she was becoming more and more like a normal woman.
"I'll go cook!" Fan Qingchen suddenly took a step back and quickly went to the kitchen, almost fleeing.
Naturally, Fan Qingchen's cooking wasn't as good as Qin Chuan's, but Qin Chuan thought it was delicious because it was her cooking.
That evening, Qin Chuan knocked on Fan Qingchen's door. He was still a little nervous; although he had become much more outgoing lately, he was still somewhat reserved in front of her. Fan Qingchen
opened the door, looking at Qin Chuan without speaking.
"Um, it's not comfortable sleeping here, can I go to…"
"Then I'll sleep outside, you stay inside," Fan Qingchen said with a smile.
"Um, I'll stay here!" Qin Chuan said, but his eyes remained fixed on Fan Qingchen.
Fan Qingchen lowered her head slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything and closed the door to rest.
"Qingchen, when are we going to have a child?" Qin Chuan asked with a smile.
"When I want one..."
"Then when do you want one?" Qin Chuan quickly asked.
