Chapter 1021: Chapter 1106: The Woman in Red Comes

After stepping into the Eighth Layer of Tao, Chen Nan felt that the Chess Dao Holy Skill left by the old ghost of the chess saint was indeed mysterious and profound. If cultivated to its peak, it might even be able to counter all Divine Skills.

After all, he had only just condensed two chess pieces, and they were only the lowest level, pawns, yet his combat power had already increased dramatically.

If he could condense a full chessboard, with all thirty-two pieces transformed into Chess Dao warriors and paired with the killing array formation on the board, it would undoubtedly become a terrifying battlefield. Then, no matter how strong the Divine Skills, they would struggle to resist the onslaught of the Chess Dao warriors’ killing array.

Chen Nan took a long breath, stood up to prepare to return to his room, but just then, a white figure walked past him.

Chen Nan turned his head to look, “Shi’er, why haven’t you gone to sleep yet?”

“I didn’t want to sleep, so I came to chat with you.” Shi’er walked over to him, sat down, and looked up at the stars in the sky, saying, “The moon is so beautiful tonight. Big brother, stand up, I’ll take a picture of you.”

Chen Nan was taken aback and chuckled, “It’s so late at night, will the photo be clear?”

“No worries, I’ll use the flash.” Shi’er took out a camera as she spoke.

Chen Nan stood up, posed for a couple of shots, and then Shi’er handed him the camera, saying, “Look, isn’t it handsome?”

Chen Nan nodded with satisfaction, “Not bad, not bad, almost as handsome as the real me.”

“So narcissistic,” Shi’er couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him, then pulled Chen Nan down to sit, instinctively hugging his arm.

Chen Nan tried to pull his arm away, but Shi’er didn’t let go.

Thus, Chen Nan had no choice but to let her hold his arm.

Shi’er turned her head to look at Chen Nan’s face, hugging even tighter. Although she said nothing, she gradually leaned in, resting her head on Chen Nan’s shoulder.

After a while, she spoke, “Big brother, do you know why I didn’t go with you to live in Ninghai City?”

Chen Nan remained silent for a while, then nodded.

Shi’er said nothing more, as if waiting for Chen Nan to persuade her to stay. After more than ten seconds, she finally smiled, “You guys can go without worry. With me here at home, if something like the last incident happens again, I can still help protect Yixuan sister.”

“We’ll come back often to see you,” Chen Nan said.

Shi’er giggled and nodded.

…

The night passed without words.

The next morning, Chen Nan drove a Land Rover Range Rover, taking Su Qingqing, Dongfang Yun Fei, Huo Xinya, and Liu Tiantian to Ninghai City together.

They drove down the highway, taking only two hours to arrive near Ninghai University.

Yesterday, Dongfang Yun Fei and Su Qingqing came together to look at houses, and chose a villa nearby. It was fully furnished, and they only needed to move in.

The villa covered an area of over a thousand square meters, with parking and a swimming pool included.

Originally, Chen Nan’s card had twenty-five million, but he later won another fifty million, totaling seventy-five million. After buying the villa, there was just over ten million left. Calculating by average price, the villa cost over fifty thousand per square meter, which was quite extravagant.

Chen Nan drove directly into the villa’s parking lot next door.

After getting out of the car, Su Qingqing asked, “Dummy, weren’t you poor before? How did you suddenly earn so much money?”

Actually, not only she, but everyone looked at Chen Nan curiously.

Chen Nan replied proudly, “It’s very simple, do you want to know?”

“Mm-hmm!”

Everyone nodded repeatedly.

Chen Nan touched his nose, smiling mysteriously, “Lately, my memory isn’t too good, and I suddenly can’t recall. Why don’t one of you kiss me first, maybe then I’ll remember.”

“Pervert.” Su Qingqing rolled her eyes.

But Liu Tiantian looked at Chen Nan in confusion, scratched her head, and said, “Cousin, do you have senility?”

Chen Nan pointed to his face, “Yes, quickly give me a comfort kiss.”

“Poor cousin, already senile at this young age.” Liu Tiantian wrapped her arms around his, seriously saying, “Don’t be sad, don’t worry, I’ll always stay with you. Come, give a kiss.”

After speaking, she actually stood on tiptoe and kissed Chen Nan on the cheek.

Chen Nan hugged her shoulder and kissed her cheek, “Tiantian is the best, not stingy like the others who won’t even give me a kiss.”

Su Qingqing grabbed his clothes and said, “Stop saying useless things. Now that someone has kissed you, quickly tell us how you made so much money?”

Chen Nan raised a finger, “Very simple, one word, gambling.”

“Dummy, that’s two words,”

Su Qingqing exclaimed, but when she turned around to look, Chen Nan had already rushed into the villa.

…

Afterward, Chen Nan took a few of his beautiful companions to furniture stores and appliance malls, buying everything they needed.

They were busy until around five in the afternoon when they had moved everything home and set it up.

Su Qingqing walked out of her room and said, “Once the semester starts, I’ll be living here. These days, I want to go back and spend some time with my older sister. What about you, Dummy?”

Chen Nan replied, “We’ll also go back first, then come over again later.”

Around seven-thirty in the evening, a group of five returned to Ningjiang City.

The date for Chen Nan and Dongfang Yun Fei’s wedding was set to be the day after tomorrow, on August 25th according to the solar calendar.

So, after returning to Ningjiang City, the two went to the supermarket to buy a lot of invitations, then started writing them, mainly inviting Dongfang Yun Fei’s relatives and friends, since Chen Nan didn’t have many friends himself.

That night, as the two were in the living room writing invitations, the doorbell rang.

Chen Nan got up and opened the door, only to find the powerful and creepy red-clothed woman standing outside.

“Senior, are you looking for me?” Chen Nan asked.

The red-clothed woman looked displeased.

Standing at the door, her eyes scanned the living room inside, pausing slightly on Su Qingqing. Then she grabbed Chen Nan by the collar and, in a flash, flew away, “Come with me.”

“Let him go! Dummy!”

Su Qingqing immediately chased after them, summoning the White Jade Lotus Platform to soar into the sky.

However, as soon as she flew into the air, she didn’t know which direction to pursue because Chen Nan and the red-clothed woman had already vanished into the vast night sky.

The red-clothed woman moved incredibly fast, crossing a thousand miles in an instant.

Atop a mountain peak, the red-clothed woman released Chen Nan, her eyes like twin sword lights, staring at him, “Where’s the Ghost Grass I asked you to find?”

“I didn’t find the Ghost Grass,” Chen Nan shook his head.

Last time, he had asked Xuan Tianji, who said that the red-clothed woman wanted the Ghost Grass for purposes other than aiding Li Xiao’s cultivation, and it would harm Su Qingqing, who had inherited the Saintess’s legacy.
