Chapter 498: Qin Fan: “Heh, Interesting!”

—

However.

Zhao Yu, who thought she had “enjoyed” her treatment discreetly, had no idea.

Zhu Nan had already seen through everything.

On the way home—

“Hehe, Haoran, let me tell you something.”

“Just now, Xiao Yu was definitely ‘treated’ to the point of being… thrilled!”

Zhu Nan, with her strength and close observation, naturally noticed Zhao Yu’s unusual reactions.

But instead of being upset, she found it intriguing.

After all, she had gone through a similar experience—being “frigid” and, for the first time ever, feeling something stir after meeting Wang Haoran.

Sharing this experience, she thought to herself, with so many women already around Wang Haoran, adding one more wouldn’t hurt.

So, she made a suggestion to Wang Haoran:

“Haoran, why not make it so that every treatment session is just the two of you alone?”

“Then, step by step, let Xiao Yu gradually accept you…”

“Your hands can slowly move lower until…”

“…Until what?”

Zhu Nan smiled slyly: “Until Xiao Yu willingly allows you to provide… deeper treatment!”

Wang Haoran was speechless. “…You’re really just selling her out like that, Aunt Zhu?”

“It’s not selling her out!”

Zhu Nan’s tone turned serious:

“I’m genuinely hoping you two can be together!”

Her eyes sparkled with amusement as she gazed at Wang Haoran’s face. “If she’s with you, she’ll definitely be as happy as I am!”

“And it would make it easier for you to treat her!”

For some reason, after seeing Zhao Yu again, Zhu Nan felt a sudden sense of affection for her junior.

Perhaps it was because she learned Xiao Yu was also “frigid,” evoking a sense of empathy and pity—

With this self-justification, Zhu Nan decided to play matchmaker:

“Don’t be fooled by Xiao Yu’s clean and decisive appearance. Deep down, she’s lazy and slow to act.”

“Even if she likes you, she won’t show it.”

“So you need to be proactive and assertive.”

“And with me whispering sweet nothings about you to her, it’ll be a piece of cake!”

By now, Wang Haoran had parked the car in his garage. After unbuckling her seatbelt.

Zhu Nan leaned over, placing her hand on his chest with a seductive smile:

“Don’t you love forming combinations?”

Just like her and Zhu Xiwang, Wang Yuanjun and Wang Yuxi, or Liu Yunshuang and Liu Xinyao!

“…Ahem, no such thing!”

Wang Haoran chuckled. “But since you put it that way, I won’t hold back, then?”

The cold energy generated by the Cold Essence Yin Marrow Physique was naturally beneficial to his Yin-Yang Creation Physique.

However, through “massage,” he could only absorb a small amount.

But if it were through “dual cultivation”…

Not only could Wang Haoran absorb most of the cold energy, but Zhao Yu could also use it to cultivate with his help.

A win-win!

And hearing Wang Haoran’s response—

“Of course, don’t hold back!”

“Just like you don’t with me!”

With that, Zhu Nan climbed onto Wang Haoran’s lap, straddling him face-to-face.

She then took his hand in hers.

“Haoran, since we have nothing else to do… let’s stay here a little longer before going inside?”

“Sure.”

The hand Wang Haoran had just used to massage Zhao Yu now began working on Zhu Nan…

But unlike Zhao Yu, who had held out until the end, Zhu Nan couldn’t last long. With just a few movements, she was already… delighted!

“Ah~!”

She truly had no resistance to him!

Her flushed face glowing, Zhu Nan scooted closer.

Her arms wrapped around Wang Haoran’s neck.

“Haoran, kiss me~”

—

Meanwhile, as Wang Haoran sat in the car, chatting with Zhu Nan.

And mentally planning his next steps with Zhao Yu, aiming to uncover the reason behind her sudden awakening.

The mastermind behind all of this, Qin Fan, was already thinking about them.

“By now, Zhao Yu’s physique should have flared up…”

“Wang Haoran is probably still lounging around, playing the role of a carefree tycoon…”

“As for Qingmeng… she’s already returned to the ancient martial world and won’t be back until after the New Year…”

He, Zhao Yu, Wang Haoran, and Xi Qingmeng.

The four of them had met in the outer world, ventured into the ancient martial world together, and eventually entered the cultivation world as a team.

He had once believed the four of them could ascend to the pinnacle of existence together.

But.

Xi Qingmeng had sacrificed herself to save him, perishing in an immortal’s ruins.

As for Zhao Yu and Wang Haoran…

“Two ungrateful bastards!”

Even after Xi Qingmeng’s death, he had treated his remaining companions with even greater care.

But little did he know, the two of them had already been colluding behind his back!

In his previous life, before obtaining a cultivation technique, Zhao Yu had often suffered from the effects of her Cold Essence Yin Marrow Physique.

Whenever that happened, he would go to great lengths to find fire-attribute treasures to ease her pain.

And if he was too busy, he would entrust his “good brother” Wang Haoran to deliver the items to Zhao Yu.

Looking back now, it was precisely his blind trust that gave Wang Haoran the opportunity to take advantage.

He had poured his heart and soul into their friendship.

Only to be repaid with betrayal from his lover and brother, stabbing him in the heart!

Eight hundred years of cultivation had taught Qin Fan to remain calm in the face of most things.

But.

Whenever he recalled Zhao Yu wagging her tail at Wang Haoran, even calling herself “Yu Nu Mu?” to please him.

Qin Fan’s expression would turn icy—

“Wang Haoran, all these years, I treated you as my best brother.”

“But not only did you steal my beloved, you even tried to kill me and take my treasure!”

“I was blind to trust you.”

“Thankfully, the heavens have given me a second chance!”

“This time, I’ll make sure you, the hypocrite, get the punishment you deserve!”

However.

Though he was eager, Qin Fan knew he had to postpone his revenge against Wang Haoran for now.

There was something more pressing—

Soon, his girlfriend Xu Yan would come to break up with him.

Of course, he wouldn’t mind if it were just a breakup.

But Xu Yan wasn’t just breaking up. She was bringing her new rich second-generation boyfriend along to humiliate him.

They would trample on his family’s dignity, even causing his father to collapse in anger.

“In my previous life, I could do nothing but endure the humiliation…”

In the end, it was Wang Haoran who stood up for him, dealing with the rich second-generation boyfriend.

It was because of this that he had placed so much trust in Wang Haoran.

“But this time, I won’t repeat the same mistakes!”

A mere mortal rich kid, daring to challenge him, the Xuantian Immortal Sovereign…

Qin Fan couldn’t help but smirk coldly—

“Heh, interesting!”
