Chapter 394 - 394: A Bountiful Harvest

Yan Qingshan's gaze shifted between Leng Ning and Chuchu, his heart torn with conflict.

Both of these women had been favored by Jiang Xinghai last night. He wanted to get them both back!

But reality only allowed him one choice.

"Chairman Yan, trade for Chuchu!" Leng Ning gave him a subtle look.

"I choose Chuchu." Yan Qingshan's words made Huang Yaocheng nod.

"On the count of three, we release them at the same time." Huang Yaocheng lifted Chuchu with a single hand.

When the time came, Yan Qingshan had no choice but to throw Huang Qingwei over.

At the same time, with swift reflexes, he immediately scooped up Chuchu and took a sharp step back.

"What do you think you're doing?" Leng Ning was powerless in Huang Yaocheng's grip, but she could still speak.

"I just want to have a little fun with you two, that's all."

Huang Yaocheng stared daggers at Yan Qingshan and continued, "Besides, if you can satisfy my requirements, what's a single Spiritual Medicine? I'll give it to you."

Having said that, he finally looked down at Leng Ning and took a deep, lecherous, and greedy sniff.

The act utterly disgusted Leng Ning.

But for the plan to proceed, she could only force back her revulsion and squeeze out a smile. "One stalk is too few."

"Two stalks, then." Huang Yaocheng laughed readily.

"Let me think about it first. You should go check on your son," Leng Ning said, deliberately creating an opportunity.

Something seemed to strike a chord with Huang Yaocheng. He tossed Leng Ning aside with one hand and looked toward his son, Huang Qingwei.

At that exact moment, Leng Ning's and Yan Qingshan's gazes met, a silent understanding passing between them.

They attacked Huang Yaocheng simultaneously. Yan Qingshan's dagger traced a deadly, cold arc, while Leng Ning seized the opportunity to strike from the side.

Seeing their combined assault, a flash of fear crossed Huang Yaocheng's eyes. After all, Yan Qingshan's strength was on par with his own. To make matters worse, he was being assisted by Leng Ning, a cultivator at the Peak of the Ninth-Layer Great Venerable.

However, his own assault didn't lessen in the slightest.

Although this was the first time Yan Qingshan and Leng Ning had fought together, their offense and defense were still methodical.

And though Huang Yaocheng's attacks were fierce, he was gradually forced to retreat under Yan Qingshan and Leng Ning's joint assault.

Finally, Yan Qingshan plunged his dagger straight into Huang Yaocheng's heart, and Leng Ning's attack followed an instant later.

Huang Yaocheng's eyes widened as blood blossomed across his chest. "No! No! How could I..."

His body trembled violently before crashing to the ground.

The battle was brutal, and victory came at a heavy price.

Flesh was peeled back on Yan Qingshan's right arm, while several bloody gashes, left by splashes of murderous energy, marked Leng Ning's cheeks.

"Thankfully, you arrived just in time, Chairman Yan. Thank you!" Leng Ning gave Yan Qingshan a deep look, then immediately picked up Chuchu.

Chuchu had been overwhelmed by the expert's aura earlier and had fainted.

Yan Qingshan sighed. "It's a good thing Niu Xiaolan reminded me that the Huang Family still had an old ancestor like Huang Yaocheng, or I wouldn't have rushed here so quickly."

With that said, he stomped on Huang Qingwei's neck, snapping it.

After the three of them left the Huang Family estate, they quickly found the medicine garden.

Three stalks of First-Grade Spiritual Medicine!

Two stalks of Second-Grade Spiritual Medicine!

The harvest was bountiful!

"This is wonderful!" Leng Ning was thrilled.

This way, Jiang Xinghai could continue to absorb and refine them, and keep breaking through the shackles on his cultivation!

"You and Chuchu head back first. I'm going to search the Huang Family's estate for Spiritual Sand," Yan Qingshan said.

"Spiritual Sand? The Huang Family actually has Spiritual Sand!"

Leng Ning was overjoyed again. Although Spiritual Sand couldn't compare to the legendary Spirit Stones, it was still comparable to a Second-Grade Spiritual Medicine or higher!

"That's the plan." Yan Qingshan vanished from the spot in a flash.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Chairman Yan. I'll head back first to deliver the medicine." Holding Chuchu, Leng Ning got into a car and sped away.

From the moment Leng Ning and Chuchu arrived at the Huang Family estate, to Yan Qingshan's subsequent appearance, and then to the deaths of the father and son, Huang Yaocheng and Huang Qingwei—throughout it all, the rest of the Huang Family had stayed hidden far away, never once making an appearance.

It wasn't until Yan Qingshan entered the Huang Family's villa that a middle-aged man who bore a strong resemblance to Huang Qingwei appeared, his face streaked with emotional tears.

"Chairman Yan, I, Huang Qingren, thank you for helping my Huang Family clean house. Please, just name anything you need." The man, who called himself Huang Qingren, was Huang Qingwei's full-blooded younger brother and Huang Yaocheng's biological son.

However, he had been ostracized by his father and older brother since childhood, leaving him with no status whatsoever.

Now that Huang Yaocheng and Huang Qingwei were dead, he would naturally take over the position of Patriarch of the Huang Family.

"Huang Qingren, I didn't set out to do this, nor did I intend to meddle in your Huang Family's affairs." Yan Qingshan walked over slowly, his expression turning cold. "However, my Martial Arts Department *can* support you in taking the position of Huang Family Patriarch, making it legitimate."

"Uh..." Huang Qingren was suddenly taken aback.

Just before the incident, he had already arranged for his own branch of the family to place Huang Qingwei's branch under house arrest. He could have taken the Patriarch's seat smoothly enough, but he always felt that the whole affair would be difficult for others to accept.

If he had the support of Yan Qingshan's Martial Arts Department, then it would be completely legitimate!

"I need the Spiritual Sand your Huang Family has in its collection. Bring me all of it. Quickly." Yan Qingshan changed the subject.

Time was running out.

He was worried that by now, the Yan Family from the Provincial City was already closing in on the Mu Family!
