She didn't want to take Chen Nan to her boudoir.
She clearly lusted after Chen Nan's body.
Afterwards, Chen Nan followed Nie Yao to her boudoir.
Although she hadn't returned for a long time.
Servants still came to clean it regularly.
The room was furnished with high-quality solid wood furniture, and a red bedspread and quilt.
It looked particularly festive.
Of course.
One could not forget the hidden intentions behind the visit to the boudoir.
One could not let Nie Yao's deep affection go unappreciated.
In truth...
There was nothing particularly special.
It was merely a visit to the future child's little room.
Although they had been intimate in the Myriad Demon Cave.
It was not from the heart.
And several people were involved at the same time.
So this time was far more invested.
And satisfying.
Perhaps.
This was true natural progression.
At the same time.
Nie Qingsong arrived at the Qin Mansion with a look of great apprehension.
As the ruler of Wushuang City, the Qin Mansion occupied hundreds of acres of land, with two lifelike stone statues at the entrance.
"Master Nie, why have you come?"
The servants at the Qin Mansion recognized Nie Qingsong.
They were very enthusiastic.
Nie Qingsong said, slightly nervous, "I wish to see the Marquis."
This was because the Qin family patriarch had followed the Immortal Emperor to suppress the demons, and was rewarded with the title of Marquis.
"Master Nie, please follow me." A servant from the Qin Mansion made an inviting gesture, inviting Nie Qingsong into the vast Qin Mansion.
Afterwards, he went to report.
Five minutes later, he returned and brought Nie Qingsong before Qin Zheng.
At the same time.
Qin Chu also heard the news of Nie Qingsong's visit and eagerly asked, "Father-in-law, why have you come to my Qin Mansion today?"
"If there is anything you need, just say the word, and your humble son will personally visit you. Why must you make this trip yourself?"
Although his tone was polite.
Qin Chu did not take this father-in-law seriously at all.
Because he despised gamblers the most.
You can never trust a gambler's word.
Not even a punctuation mark.
However.
You could trust that Nie Qingsong had a beautiful, fair-skinned, and outstanding daughter.
And she was famous throughout the land.
Yes.
When Qin Chu saw Nie Yao at a banquet held in the Yan Kingdom.
He was instantly struck with awe.
He had not expected Nie Yao to be from Wushuang City.
However.
He knew there was a significant disparity between them.
After all, he was merely the son of a prominent family.
In terms of status.
He was utterly unworthy of Nie Yao's current standing.
However, upon learning that Nie Yao's father was the biggest gambler in Wushuang City.
He hatched a plan.
He arranged a setup.
It was very simple.
He gambled with Nie Qingsong.
Nie Qingsong lost Nie Yao to him.
Therefore.
Even though Nie Qingsong was about to become his father-in-law.
He did not consider him a person in his heart.
"Greetings, Marquis, greetings, Young Master Qin." Nie Qingsong bowed and said nervously, "I have come this time to..."
He dared not continue.
Because everyone knew how ruthless the Qin family was.
If he proposed to break off the engagement.
He would surely anger them.
"Brother Nie, speak your mind freely." Qin Zheng's voice boomed.
Nie Qingsong hesitated, gritted his teeth, and said, "I have come to break off the engagement."
"What?"
"You old bastard, are you joking?"
"You propose to break off the engagement?" Qin Chu was furious.
As the foremost dandy of Wushuang City.
He had never dreamed that anyone would dare to propose breaking off an engagement with him.
Killing intent surged.
Frightening Nie Qingsong into trembling.
A cold glint flashed in Qin Zheng's eyes: "Patriarch Nie, do you know what you just said?"
"Our Qin family taking a liking to your daughter is a great fortune for your Nie family."
"If you are not grateful, you even want to break off the engagement with my Qin family?"
"Do you think that just because your daughter has become a renowned artifact refiner, she can disregard my Qin family?"
"If you break off this marriage, where will our Qin family's reputation stand?"
"How can we establish ourselves in Wushuang City?"
"Do you know that our Qin family's wedding invitations have already been sent out?"
His voice was low.
Exuding intense anger.
Nie Qingsong coming to break off the engagement was something they had not anticipated.
"Marquis, please calm your anger, Young Master Qin, please calm your anger." Nie Qingsong was full of apprehension. "It is not that our Nie family wants to break off the engagement, but we have unavoidable difficulties!"
"The situation is like this."
"Previously, the Third Grandmaster Chen Nan came to my Nie family to propose."
"He also said that His Majesty would bestow a marriage decree soon!"
As soon as he said this.
The expressions of Qin Zheng and Qin Chu changed drastically.
Qin Chu asked in a low voice, "The Third Grandmaster you mentioned, is it Chen Nan?"
"Indeed." Nie Qingsong sighed, "I told him that Young Master Qin and my youngest daughter have an engagement, but he wouldn't listen at all."
"Now I am helpless and can only come to the Qin Mansion to break off the engagement."
"I hope the Marquis can understand."
Qin Zheng and his son exchanged glances.
They saw deep apprehension in each other's eyes.
Although the Qin family was the dominant power in Wushuang City.
Chen Nan's name was known to everyone.
And he was deeply favored by the Yan Emperor.
They did not doubt the possibility of the Yan Emperor bestowing a marriage decree.
However.
The Qin family had already publicly announced the marriage and intended to welcome Nie Yao as their daughter-in-law.
They had been busy with wedding preparations during this time.
If they were to announce the cancellation of the wedding now, where would their reputation stand?
However.
They could not afford to offend Chen Nan.
"Patriarch Nie, we need to consider the wedding arrangements. Please return and await our decision." Qin Zheng directly dismissed him.
"Yes."
Nie Qingsong dared not linger any longer.
He turned and left the Qin Mansion.
"Father, what should we do?" Qin Chu looked at his father anxiously.
He was infatuated with Nie Yao.
His heart and mind were filled with her.
He had expected to marry the beauty in three days, but unexpectedly, Chen Nan intervened.
Qin Zheng's expression was grave: "You also know that the Yan Emperor greatly favors Chen Nan. If we do not break off the engagement, the Yan Emperor will surely be enraged, and we will be in a very passive position."
"We might even lose imperial favor."
"But..."
"If we break off the engagement, our Qin family will undoubtedly become a laughingstock in Wushuang City."
After a pause.
Qin Zheng said, "How about this, you go and contact Chen Nan and ask him to refine a divine artifact for us."
"If he agrees."
"Then this engagement will be broken off."
"After all, obtaining a divine artifact would not be a loss for us."
Qin Chu was greatly surprised: "Father, divine artifacts are not easily refined. What if he refuses? What should we do?"
A sinister coldness flickered in Qin Zheng's eyes: "If he refuses, then find someone to kill him!"
"Hiss!"
Qin Chu gasped, his eyes filled with shock: "Father, Chen Nan is a favored figure before the Yan Emperor. If we kill him, won't there be big trouble?"
Qin Zheng rolled his eyes at him: "Use your brain more. Can our Qin family get involved in such a matter?"
"We can find experts from the Hunyuan Sect and employ a 'borrowed knife to kill' tactic."
Qin Chu's eyes lit up.
The Hunyuan Sect was a major sect within Wushuang City.
Its sect leader possessed the strength of a Fourth Level Immortal Emperor.
With him taking action, wouldn't eliminating Chen Nan be an easy task?
