Chapter 221: Chapter 174: What, You Weren’t Planning on Taking Me With You?

"If you keep fidgeting, then we’re not going."

Hearing this, Jiang Yunnuan froze instantly. Then, she quickly retracted her fingers, swallowed hard, and said urgently,

"I’ll stop fidgeting! I’m going right now..."

With that, she quickly got out of the fish tank and slapped her forehead in frustration.

’Damn it, I got too carried away playing around. I almost delayed important business again.’

After changing her clothes and getting ready to go downstairs, she saw Yan Chen, already impeccably dressed. His tall, straight figure stood at the top of the stairs, clearly waiting for someone.

Jiang Yunnuan walked up to him and asked, "Are you coming with me?"

"What, you weren’t planning on taking me with you?"

He lowered his gaze, his expression darkening in an instant as his eyes bored into her.

He looked as if he would get angry the moment she nodded, and it would be the kind of anger that couldn’t be soothed.

Jiang Yunnuan had already been tormented into having a conditioned response. Seeing him like this, she quickly shook her head and tried to explain.

"Of course not! What I meant was, *do you want* to come with me?"

As soon as she said that, the darkness in his eyes receded. His expression immediately softened as he took her hand and replied softly,

"Mm, let’s go."

Seeing this, Jiang Yunnuan let out a huge sigh of relief and gave herself a mental thumbs-up for her wise decision.

’Good thing I reacted quickly, or I would have provoked this titan again.’

A little over ten minutes later, the two of them strolled up to Jiang Tang’s villa.

Through the gaps in the protective fence, Jiang Yunnuan could see Jiang Tang chatting with a short-haired girl in the yard.

She reached out, rang the doorbell, and called out loudly, "Tangtang, open the door!"

Hearing the voice, Jiang Tang and Gu Sisi both turned their heads to look.

Seeing it was her, a look of delight quickly appeared in Jiang Tang’s eyes. She then gathered her skirt and trotted over, opening the main gate to look at her.

"Sister~"

Her gaze faltered for a moment when she saw Jiang Yunnuan and Yan Chen holding hands. Then, her eyes shifted to Yan Chen.

Instantly, an immense pressure washed over her. Her vision was momentarily impaired, everything becoming a blur, and she couldn’t see a thing.

"Tangtang, what’s wrong?"

Noticing that something was off, Jiang Yunnuan quickly steadied her by the shoulders and asked with concern.

Jiang Tang sharply noticed that as her sister leaned closer, the crushing pressure vanished in an instant, and her vision returned to normal.

’It must be the one beside my sister,’ she thought. ’He doesn’t want me to look at him.’

After a moment’s thought, she decided not to tell Jiang Yunnuan about it, lest it affect their relationship.

So, she shook her head and said, "Don’t worry, Sister. I’m fine. My eyes just felt a little uncomfortable, but they’re better now."

"Oh, are you sure you’re okay? You have to tell me if you feel unwell at all."

"Mhm, I know. Thank you for your concern, Sister. Come on, I’ll take you to see Sisi."

Jiang Tang took Jiang Yunnuan’s hand, doing her best to avoid letting her gaze sweep over that man, so as not to anger him.

However, this action caused the unknowing Jiang Yunnuan to misunderstand.

She looked at the ignored Yan Chen, feeling perplexed. ’Jiang Tang isn’t a rude person. Why is she acting like she can’t even see Yan Chen, not asking about him or even greeting him?’

’This is so strange. Could it be that Yan Chen has used Invisibility?’

"Wait a second..."

She said to Jiang Tang, then turned to Yan Chen. "Did you use Invisibility?"

"No."

Yan Chen replied flatly.

Jiang Yunnuan looked at Jiang Tang again. "Do you see anyone next to me?"

Jiang Tang shook her head. "No."

Jiang Yunnuan: "????"

’What is going on?’

’One says he’s not invisible, the other says she can’t see him. Where exactly did things go wrong?’

"Yan Chen, you’d better explain this to me. What’s going on?"

After thinking it over, Jiang Yunnuan felt it was highly likely that Yan Chen had done something.

Yan Chen refused to admit it. Instead, he brazenly shifted the blame.

"Perhaps her eyesight is just poor."

Jiang Yunnuan: "..."

’Tangtang’s eyes are perfectly fine. That settles it. This guy definitely did something.’

’If he didn’t want to be seen, then why did he even come out with me?’

She grabbed Yan Chen and pulled him in front of Jiang Tang.

"Tangtang, let me introduce you. His name is Yan Chen. From now on, when you see him, call him brother-in-law. Of course, if you can’t see him or don’t recognize him, then just ignore him."

"Oh, okay. Hello, brother-in-law."

Jiang Tang greeted him with her head lowered, not daring to look up at all.

Although her Cultivation was low, she could vaguely sense that this brother-in-law was completely different from the previous ones.

This brother-in-law exuded an aura of supreme power, one that looked down on all creation. In his presence, she felt as minuscule as an ant, not even daring to breathe too loudly.

This was a feeling that only a supreme expert could evoke.

"I’m going to go talk with Tangtang for a bit. You can do as you please."

Jiang Yunnuan glanced back at Yan Chen, then took Jiang Tang’s hand and led the way into the yard.

「In the yard.」

Gu Sisi was clutching her head, her expression pained.

Just like Jiang Tang, when she had looked at Yan Chen, her mind was suddenly hit by a powerful impact, and an immense fear grew in her heart. It made her afraid to look directly at him, and she had hastily averted her gaze.

But even so, her vision had still gone black in an instant, and her head felt like it was being pricked by countless needles, hurting so much it felt like it would explode.

’How could this happen?’

’I’m not going to be blind from now on, am I?’ A great panic rose in Gu Sisi’s heart.

’Just what is his background?’

’Is he a god?’

’Why did I end up like this just from a single glance?’

Jiang Tang, who had just returned, immediately noticed that something was wrong with Gu Sisi. She hurried to her side, seemingly unintentionally blocking the space between her and Yan Chen.

Jiang Tang knew exactly what was happening with Gu Sisi, but she pretended to be clueless and asked with deep concern,

"Sisi, are you not feeling well?"

Her voice was like a miraculous elixir. All of Gu Sisi’s discomfort vanished in an instant. Her head stopped hurting, and her vision began to return.

She grabbed Jiang Tang’s arm and whispered in her ear,

"Tangtang, who... who is that man?"

"He’s my brother-in-law. As for anything else, you’d better curb your curiosity and not go snooping."

’Otherwise, don’t blame me for getting nasty.’

Hearing the warning in her words, Gu Sisi pouted, muttered an "oh," but didn’t take it to heart.

’He’s just a Beastman, right? Is there any need to be so secretive?’

Jiang Yunnuan simply pretended not to have heard their whispering. Once they finished, she put on a smile and took the initiative to greet Gu Sisi.

"You must be Gu Sisi, right? Hello, my name is Jiang Yunnuan, Jiang Tang’s older sister. I asked you here because there’s something I wanted to thank you for in person..."

Hearing her words, Gu Sisi paused, stunned. Jiang Tang had only said she’d gotten a new villa and invited her over to hang out; she hadn’t mentioned anything else.

’So the one who really invited me here wasn’t Jiang Tang, but this Sister Jiang?’

’But we don’t even know each other. Why would Sister Jiang want to thank me?’

’Could it be that my memory is failing me?’

"Uh, hello, Sister Jiang. You said you wanted to thank me? Me? Are you sure you haven’t made a mistake?"
