Chapter 40: Nangong!

  "Oh no! Ah!" Liu Yunshi was so flustered that she stumbled in her high heels, wanting to chase after him but unable to catch up. Suddenly, her foot twisted and she almost fell to the ground.

  Chen Dasheng saw this and hurried back, "What's wrong?"

  "It's all your fault!" Liu Yunshi glared at Chen Dajun with a pained expression, her ankle throbbing in agony, making her feel somewhat unsteady.

  "Let's go over there and take a look!" Chen Dajun, seeing Liu Yunshi's painful expression, quickly supported Liu Yunshi to walk towards a long bench by the side of the road.

  "It hurts so much!"

  Liu Yunshi sat on the long bench, Chen Dasheng held up Liu Yunshi's left foot, and the intense pain made Liu Yunshi's tears almost fall, with deeper resentment towards Chen Dasheng in her heart.

  Chen Dashi carefully examined Liu Yunshi and comforted her, "It's okay, just a sprain, the bone shouldn't be broken, I'll rub it for you and it will be fine!"

  As he spoke, Chen Dashi gently massaged Liu Yunshi's swollen ankle with both hands.

  "It hurts to death, be gentle!" Liu Yunshi's eyebrows furrowed together, perhaps she herself didn't even notice, but the normally rough-acting her was actually acting coquettishly in front of Chen Dasheng.

  Chen Dashi glared at Liu Yunshi, "Who told you to wear high heels? They're so high, you're almost as tall as me!"

  Eight or nine centimeters high-heeled shoes, Chen Dasheng didn't know how this girl was able to walk on stilts.

  "What business is it of yours if others like me?" Liu Yunshi said with a tone of discontent.

  Chen Dàshèng said, "I don't care, from now on when you come out with me, no high heels are allowed."

  Liu Yunshi heard this and her face turned slightly red, she secretly glanced at Chen Dasheng, how could this guy be so overbearing?

  Chen Dasheng rubbed for a while and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

  "Ouch, it hurts so much!" Liu Yunshi exclaimed.

  "Is it real pain or fake pain?"

  "Ouch!"

  "Could it be a fracture?" Looking at the swelling on Liu Yunshi's ankle, Chen Dasheng was worried and wondered if they should go to the hospital.

  Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, Chen Dashi said, "Let's massage again, if it doesn't work we'll go to the hospital!"

  Liu Yunshi nodded slightly.

  Go for it!

  Chen Dasheng's mind drove the inner energy from his dantian to the tips of his fingers, and he thought of trying out the healing effect of his newly practiced inner energy, just like some martial arts masters he had seen on TV.

  "Hmm!"

  A warm sensation spread from Chen Dashi's hands, like warm water wrapping around her ankles, and Liu Yunshi let out a comfortable sigh. She immediately realized that her sigh was too loud and quickly covered her mouth, her face turning red like a ripe peach.

  Chen Daxing couldn't help but want to laugh, but his hands still had to keep moving.

  After about two minutes, the red swelling on Liu Yunshi's ankle quickly subsided. Chen Daxing hastily asked, "Get up and take a look? Is it much better now?"

  Liu Yun's ankle bent and flexed with ease, she stood up and jumped lightly a few times, and indeed didn't feel any pain. She couldn't help but be overjoyed, excitedly asking, "It's too amazing! Chen Daxing, how did you do it? What was that warm thing on your hand just now? Was it internal energy?"

  Chen Daxing saw Liu Yunshi recover, and he also had a strong sense of joy in his heart. This inner strength was indeed wonderful, and it healed Liu Yunshi's foot injury in just a short while. When he heard Liu Yunshi's question, Chen Daxing said, "You've watched too many TV dramas! What internal skill? It's clearly just your own footwork!"

  "You're the one with foot odor!" Liu Yunshi retorted to Chen Dasheng, "You're always being mysterious and secretive all day long. One of these days, I'll make sure to see right through you, inside and out!"

  "Can you see me clearly? I don't know, but that morning, I could see you crystal clear!" Chen Dashi teased with a smile.

  "You!" Liu Yunshi suddenly thought of that ambiguous morning, and instantly felt ashamed and angry, wanting to hit Chen Da Sheng again. But her foot had just healed, and she was afraid of spraining it again, so she reluctantly put down the hand she had raised, "You despicable Chen Da Sheng, you only know how to bully me!"

  "Alright, let's go! Otherwise, others will really think I'm bullying you!"

  "My foot hurts!"

  "Isn't it fine now?"

  "It hurts, I want you to carry me!"

  "Damn it!" Chen Dashi was speechless, looking at Liu Yunshi's unreasonable face, he really couldn't afford to mess with her, so he quickly squatted down and patted his shoulder, "Go on!"

  "Wow!" Liu Yunshi burst out laughing, and in an instant, she jumped onto Chen Dasheng's back, her two full breasts being heavily squeezed into deformation.

  "Bang!"

  Chen Dasheng gave a loud slap on Liu Yun's buttocks, "You big butt, how can you be so heavy!"

  "You're so fat, you're a big fatty pig!" The crucial part was attacked, Liu Yunshi's face turned red and she jumped up, "Where are you going?"

  "Go find a place to wash your hands, your feet really stink, it's making me want to cry!" Chen Daxing said.

  "Where did my foot smell? It's your honor to give this girl a foot massage, do you know?" Liu Yunshi pinched Chen Daxin's ear.

  "Be content with what you have," Chen Daxing said. "Even the President of the country doesn't get treated to a foot massage by me!"

  "Cut it out! You think you're so great? I haven't even had the President of the United States give me a foot massage yet, I'm way more awesome than you!" Liu Yunshi said with an air of discontent.

  "You can't argue with him!" Chen Dajie was speechless.

  Liu Yunshi smiled with satisfaction, "Didn't you just say you wanted to invite me to watch a movie?"

  "You're kidding, right? Of course, if you buy the ticket, I can reluctantly accompany you to watch a game!" Chen Dasheng said.

  Liu Yunshi thought for a moment, "Considering you've been my shield and workhorse today, I'll show mercy and invite you to watch a performance. How about it? Thank me!"

  "Thanks for your kindness!"

  "Drive!"

  "Liu Yunshi, do you want your butt to bloom?"

  ……

  Under the gaze of many infatuated men and women, the two figures gradually disappeared into the distance. It seemed that both of them had forgotten the unpleasantness they experienced earlier at Yamamoto's restaurant. Chen Dabing didn't know how Liu Hao handled Hu Bing's situation, but he wasn't interested in knowing either. He believed that Liu Hao would definitely not disappoint him.

  ——

  Two flowers bloom, each representing one branch.

  A large mansion in the southern suburbs of Beijing welcomed a guest.

  An old mansion in the classical style, it's clear that it has some age on it. The sign above the door reads "Nan Gong" and there are two large stone lions with their teeth bared and claws outstretched standing guard at the entrance, indicating that the owner of the house is no ordinary person.

  The Nangong family, one of the four major families in the capital, is headed by the 83-year-old Nangong Mu. He is one of the only four surviving Innate Martial Ancestors in the land of Huaxia and possesses immense power. In recent years, he has been in seclusion within the Nangong estate, cultivating his abilities. Although he has not appeared publicly for many years, the reputation of being an Innate Martial Ancestor still intimidates others, allowing the Nangong family to maintain its position as the top family among the four major families in the capital.

  At this moment, in the living room of the Nangong family's residence.

  "Xiao Li, you finally admit that you are the successor of Chen Shi Bo?" The current master of the Nangong family, Nangong Xu, sat in the main seat, looking at this slender woman on the guest seat.

  Nangong Xu, fifty-six years old, is the eldest son of Nangong Mu. He has a sturdy build and a goatee beard, exuding an extraordinary aura. Sitting there, he resembles a towering pine tree, giving off an inexplicable sense of intimidation.

  Chen Xiaoli smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, please forgive me. Earlier, I didn't want to reveal my identity because I was afraid people would say that I'm trying to curry favor with the powerful and bring unnecessary gossip."

  Nangong Xu shook his head and smiled wryly, "Then why did you come to visit today?"

  Chen Xiaoli said, "Xiaoli is now an eighth-level martial artist and has proven his strength. Moreover, Xiaoli came to the door at this time, but he had something to ask for!"

  "Oh?" Nan Gong Xu was taken aback, and immediately waved his hand, saying, "Chen Shi Bo and my father were close friends for generations. You are Chen Shi Bo's successor, so you are a member of the Nan Gong household. Whatever it is, just say it, no need to be polite!"

  Chen Xiaoli hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know if Old Master Nangong is in the mansion. This matter may require Old Master Nangong to be aware of it!"

  "Huh!" Nangong Xu paused, then said, "When you came, I had already sent someone to inform Father. Father has been in seclusion in the inner courtyard for years, if he knew you were coming, he would definitely be very happy!"

  Three years ago, when Chen Xiaoli came to the capital to participate in the martial arts appraisal, her Tai Chi skills had already caught the attention of the Nan Gong family. Nan Gong Mu and Chen Yunhe were old friends, and before his death, Chen Yunhe had entrusted Chen Xiaoli to him. With the power of the Nan Gong family, they naturally investigated Chen Xiaoli's background thoroughly. However, Chen Xiaoli was a proud person and did not want to acknowledge her relationship with the Nan Gong family until she made a name for herself.

  "Haha, Little Li, how have you been lately?"

  As soon as Nangong Xu's words fell, a bright and cheerful laughter came from the doorway, and when he turned around to look, an old man in green clothes strode in hastily.

  The old man wore a cyan long gown, with a tall and majestic figure, looking no more than sixty years old. He walked with a strong and steady gait, his eyes shining brightly, his gray hair fluttering freely, and his beard reaching down to his chest. His face was full of smiles, and his voice was as loud and clear as a bell, extremely infectious. Chen Xiaoli could feel the excitement and passion in his voice.

  "Junior Chen Xiaoli has met Senior Nan Gong before!" Chen Xiaoli stood up and bowed to the old man.

  "Don't be polite, I reckon you'd rather not acknowledge me as a relative for the rest of your life!" Nangong Mu chuckled and sized up Chen Xiaoli from head to toe, his eyes gleaming with admiration. "Not bad, at such a young age, you've already reached the realm of an 8th-level martial artist! With a successor like you, Chen Da Ge's life has not been in vain!"

  Chen Xiaoli let out a bitter laugh and said, "I don't know if Senior Nangong is aware, but Third Uncle has already passed away three months ago!"

  "What?" Nan Gongmu heard this and suddenly exclaimed, the smile on his face instantly froze, almost as if he didn't dare to believe his own ears.

  Chen Xiaoli nodded and said, "Third Uncle passed away three months ago. This skill was imparted to me by Third Uncle himself!"

  Nan Gong Mu was taken aback, turning to look at Nan Gong Xu, who nodded slightly. "Chen Shi Bo indeed passed away three months ago. I feared Father would be heartbroken, so I didn't announce it!"
