CHAPTER 112: CHAPTER 112: I DON’T CARE IF HE’S GOOD OR NOT

An Duxuan was about to go mad with anger, leaping forward and stretching out his arms, trying to catch An Yan.

But Li Tianyao kicked him square in the chest, sending him flying back to his original position.

Li Tianyao then used the momentum from the kick to leap into the air and catch An Yan.

In such heavy rain, he even managed to stylishly spin a few times in the air!

This guy is insane!!

When the two landed, An Yan launched another attack.

She had always wanted to know if her Ancient Martial Arts skills were superior to Li Tianyao’s!

Besides, this man had just choked her!

He had dared to grasp her throat!

So, this time, she didn’t hold back at all.

In the blink of an eye, they exchanged over a dozen moves.

Although An Yan lacked strength, she compensated with agility, while Li Tianyao’s kung fu seemed like an impenetrable net.

Each move and each form appeared to follow its own set of rules.

As they fought, An Yan realized that Li Tianyao seemed to be feeding her moves.

He doesn’t want to hurt me!

This thought made An Yan’s nose sting with emotion.

She had never encountered someone like him, who, despite ostensibly hating her, treated her with such unique preference.

"You don’t have to pull your punches! Li Tianyao, we have to determine a winner today!" the young girl shouted with fierce determination.

The man’s movements gradually slowed, but his techniques felt completely airtight.

An Yan’s attacks were repeatedly blocked.

Out of frustration, she unsheathed her black gold Ancient Sword.

An Duxuan was speechless.

Li Tianyao didn’t seem to anticipate that An Yan would genuinely fight him as if it were a matter of life and death.

Seeing the young girl fighting more fiercely, Li Tianyao suddenly stopped, withdrawing his hands without warning.

An Yan’s black gold Ancient Sword, slick with rainwater, swiped toward his face!

"Yanyan!"

"Ninth Master!"

The exclamations drowned out the sound of the rain lashing against the rocks.

Everyone was terrified.

If that sword struck, the Ninth Master would be split in half!

An Duxuan, Lin Ling, and Lu Feng rushed over from three directions.

The black gold Ancient Sword stopped just above Li Tianyao’s head.

Scenes flashed through An Yan’s mind: Li Tianyao taking a blade for her, rushing into the operating room to save her, positioning himself before a shark to buy her a sliver of vitality, his tender kisses, the way he held her tightly...

She remembered when she had suggested using herself as bait, he had told her, "I don’t dare to take the risk."

He was afraid Gu Shifang would hurt her.

That’s why he wanted to find Gu Shifang quickly. That’s why he brought the person he suspected might be Gu Shifang to this island...

In the end, the sword did not descend.

Lu Feng and Lin Ling, who had charged over, wrested it away.

Standing in the pouring rain, she said to him, "Li Tianyao, let’s break up!"

Previously, when she had merely considered him someone with a somewhat strong possessive and controlling nature, she had felt unable to be with him.

But this time, he had shown her the brutality and ruthlessness embedded in his very core.

Just because of a suspicion, he had tortured Ling Xiao and the other three by first throwing them into icy water, then into the Fire House.

Such a man filled her with fear.

The man looked at her expressionlessly and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said! We..."

He reached out and cradled her face, his cold lips pressing down, silencing her words.

Lu Feng and Lin Ling immediately turned and shooed the few onlookers at the tent entrance back inside.

An Duxuan, furious, was about to intervene.

Although the noise was deafening, he had read his sister’s lips.

She was saying she wanted to break up.

And that scoundrel Li Tianyao was resorting to seducing his sister with his charm, even kissing her!

Before An Duxuan could rush over, Lu Feng and Lin Ling grabbed him and dragged him back into the tent.

In the torrential rain, An Yan’s shoulders slumped; like a puppet, she let him kiss and hold her as he pleased.

After what seemed like several minutes, Li Tianyao bent down, picked her up, and carried her back to his tent.

A fire burned inside the tent, a stark contrast to the damp cold outside. It was dry and warm, like stepping into another world.

He placed her in a chair by the fire, then turned and stripped off his wet clothes.

"I’m going to take a shower!" he announced, heading to the washroom.

An Yan sat in the chair, blankly staring at the flames in the stove.

Her wet clothes clung to her, carrying the salty tang of seawater, making her feel uncomfortably cocooned.

Minutes later, the man emerged from the washroom.

Uncharacteristically, he wasn’t fully covered, wearing only a black towel around his waist.

His pale skin contrasted sharply with the black towel.

Broad shoulders, a narrow waist, every muscle perfectly defined.

But An Yan wasn’t in the mood to appreciate it. She looked away, about to speak, when he spoke first, "You should take a wash too. Wearing wet clothes, you’ll easily catch a cold!"

An Yan thought he was right. Besides, breaking up wasn’t something that could be explained in a word or two.

So, she took her change of clothes and went into the washroom.

The warm freshwater rinsed over her body, finally washing away the sticky dampness.

Growing up, An Yan had always believed that good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished.

When Lin Shang humiliated her and broke off their engagement, she thought the scumbag had to be taught a lesson.

She chose Li Tianyao, deeply humiliated Lin Shang, and made the Lin Family pay the price.

Upon returning home, she adeptly handled the animosity from Bai Xiaoyun and her daughter.

Whether it was Lin Shang, Bai Xiaoyun, or even An Shimeng and her accomplices, An Yan never found them particularly troublesome because their actions were predictable.

Only Li Tianyao.

From their very first meeting, she couldn’t understand him, couldn’t see through him.

But she could tolerate him.

Because she felt he was different towards her; she didn’t think he was a bad person.

Even with his intense possessiveness and overwhelming need for control, she still didn’t think he was a bad person.

But now, Ling Xiao, Ya Zhuo, Liang Chen, and Su Siming—those four had done nothing wrong. Merely because they had once shown her kindness, Li Tianyao had captured them and subjected them to such torture.

This clashed with everything she had always believed.

It made her feel that her perception of him had been wrong all along. Li Tianyao wasn’t the person she thought he was.

He is much more terrifying than other evildoers; he is danger personified!

She thought, I must get away from him!

「Outside.」

An Duxuan had somehow caught a snake and was toying with it.

Lin Ling frowned, staring at him. "Second Young Master An," she said, "that’s a venomous snake. Can you please not run around with it!"

An Duxuan grinned and said, "It’s because it’s a venomous snake that I need to hold on to it. If Li Tianyao dares to refuse to break up with my sister later, I’ll let the snake go and bite him to death!"

Lin Ling asked, "What’s wrong with Ninth Master?"

An Duxuan retorted, "I don’t care if he’s good or not. If my sister doesn’t like him, then he’s no good, no matter how good he might be."
