I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"Snapped!"

The blue light bottle shattered into pieces the moment it touched the mountain road, but a wisp of blue smoke emerged from the fragments, condensing into a blue dragon that floated in mid-air in front of Leng Ning.

Leng Ning paused for a moment, then subconsciously gripped her sword tighter and stepped back.

"Thank you so much, heroine, for saving me!"

Seeing her wary expression, the blue dragon forced a very human-like smile and said gently.

"I saved you?" Leng Ning asked in astonishment.

The blue dragon nodded and said, "A long, long time ago, I committed a terrible mistake and was imprisoned in that bottle. I wandered the human world with the bottle, and only when the bottle is broken can I be released from the seal and gain my freedom."

Leng Ning: "..."

She felt as if she were listening to a storybook, but the scene before her eyes felt so real.

"During that dark and hopeless imprisonment, I swore to God that if anyone could rescue me, I would do everything in my power to grant them one wish."

Before she could react, the blue dragon continued.

A flicker of anticipation suddenly rose in Leng Ning's heart, and she asked, "Really?"

A fleeting smile crossed the blue dragon's lips as it solemnly declared, "Of course, it's absolutely true."

"Heroine, what is your wish? Tell me, and I will do everything in my power to help you fulfill it."

Driven by greed and with a try-it-out mentality, Leng Ning said earnestly, "I want to get someone."

"Who?"

“Elder of the Medicine Master Palace, Xu Xuan!” Leng Ning said with a firm gaze, “I want him to marry me and stay with me for life.”

The blue dragon immediately fell silent.

The expectant look on Leng Ning's face gradually faded, and she sighed, "Even you, Shenlong, can't do that, can you?"

The blue dragon shook its head: "I was just calculating his origins and related information."

Heroine, this person has quite a background and a unique destiny, feared by gods and ghosts alike. I cannot use magic to make him fall in love with you directly.

However, I have a way to get him first; as for feelings, we can cultivate them later.

Leng Ning asked curiously, "How do you do it?"

"I need to ask first, what's your relationship like? Different relationships naturally require different approaches," the blue dragon said earnestly.

Leng Ning pondered for a moment and said, "The relationship... is alright."

"Just so-so? If you were in trouble, would he help you?" the blue dragon asked to confirm.

"There's at least a 70% chance they'll help me," Leng Ning said.

"That makes things easier," the blue dragon smiled. "We can seize this point and make him submit."

Leng Ning couldn't help but ask, "How do we do it?"

"Come with me, I'll take you to see someone first." The blue dragon smiled and turned around, suddenly transforming into a wisp of blue smoke to lead the way.

After hesitating for a moment, Leng Ning finally couldn't resist the temptation and followed him as if possessed.

The next day.

Bai Mansion by West Lake.

Qin Yao was playing chess with Ah Hong in the courtyard when a young man in blue suddenly rushed into the yard, shouting, "Elder Xu, Elder Xu..."

"What's the matter that you're in such a panic?" Qin Yao slowly placed a piece down and asked, glancing sideways.

Qingfeng, a second-generation disciple of the Medicine Master Palace, suddenly stopped and said anxiously, "Elder, something terrible has happened! Prince Zhao Yu has taken a liking to the eldest young lady. After his marriage proposal was rejected, he went to the palace and obtained an imperial decree, insisting on bringing the eldest young lady into his household."

Qin Yao: "..."

He wasn't surprised that Zhao Yu and the carp spirit Hong Xin were entangled together. After all, the two were destined to be star-crossed lovers, and if nothing unexpected happened, they would inevitably perish together in the end.

However, given that Leng Ning had altered her own fate, she and Zhao Yu should theoretically have no chance to meet.

Such an unusual occurrence must be strange!
"Elder, the sedan chair is already waiting outside the mansion gate. The Palace Master and the Eldest Miss are waiting for you to go back and make a decision." Just as he was deep in thought, Qingfeng said in a low voice.

Qin Yao narrowed his eyes and turned to Ah Hong, saying, "I'll go take a look. In the meantime, you must not go out, lest you fall into a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

"Go ahead with peace of mind, I'll be waiting for you here in this mansion," Ah Hong said with a firm gaze.

Qin Yao stood up and walked towards the door: "Let's go, Qingfeng..."

Inside the Medicine Master's Palace.

At the end of the main hall.

Leng Huichun and Leng Ning sat in the main seat and the lower seat respectively, creating a tranquil yet somewhat oppressive atmosphere.

The difference is that Leng Huichun is genuinely worried about her daughter's future, while Leng Ning is looking forward to Elder Xu's arrival.

In the blink of an eye.

The eight-bearer sedan chair stopped again in front of the main hall. Qin Yao, dressed in white, lifted the curtain, stepped out of the sedan chair, and slowly entered the hall.

Elder Xu!

Upon seeing him, Leng Ning jumped up as if she had seen a savior.

"Xu Xuan, you've finally arrived." Leng Huichun stood up and let out a long breath.

In nearly twenty years of working together, he has almost never encountered anything that could stump the other person.

Therefore, he was absolutely convinced that the trouble that had left him and his daughter at a loss was no problem at all in front of the other party!

Qin Yao nodded slightly and asked Leng Ning, "There must be a reason for everything. Why does Zhao Yu insist on marrying you?"

Leng Ning said helplessly, "Perhaps for him, what he can't have is the best."

The women he had met before would willingly climb into his bed with just a flick of his finger.

And I rejected him more than once.

Qin Yao scrutinized her expression and pressed her for an answer: "How did you two meet?"

“We met on the street,” Leng Ning said without hesitation. “I really wish I hadn’t gone out that day.”

"You're not lying to me?" Qin Yao asked solemnly.

Leng Ning's heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to remain calm: "Of course not."

"The young prince has arrived!" Suddenly, a loud shout echoed throughout the main hall.

Leng Huichun's pupils contracted, and she was horrified.

The fact that the young prince arrived at the main hall without a single disciple coming to announce his arrival means that all the disciples along the way had been detained.

Immediately following a series of heavy footsteps, a man in brocade robes with a fairly decent appearance but a frivolous demeanor and temperament stepped through the door, followed by eight imposing bodyguards, like eight fierce generals.

"Miss Leng, the people I sent have already informed you, haven't they? The imperial decree is on its way, and you are destined to become my woman, Zhao Yu's woman." As two guards carried a chair to the door, Zhao Yu sat down gracefully and spoke with a smile.

Leng Ning glanced at Qin Yao secretly, then said to Zhao Yu, "Even if Your Highness were to obtain an imperial decree, I cannot marry you."

"Why? On what grounds?" Zhao Yu asked, raising his eyes.

Leng Ning seemed stumped by the question, and after a long while she finally said, "Because a good woman does not marry twice, I am already engaged, how can I marry the prince again?"

"engagement?"

Zhao Yu chuckled: "With whom? I'd like to see who has the guts to steal my woman."

Faced with his questioning, Leng Ning frantically winked at Qin Yao, her meaning crystal clear.

Even Leng Huichun looked at Qin Yao with pleading eyes, hoping he could help Leng Ning cover up the lie.

Otherwise, it would be a small matter if Leng Ning was ridiculed, but it would be a big matter if she was accused of deceiving the emperor. In that case, how could the Medicine Master Palace survive?
At this moment, Zhao Yu followed the father and daughter's gaze to Qin Yao and asked with a half-smile, "With you?" "No." Qin Yao shook his head.

Leng Ning's expression froze.

Leng Huichun's heart sank to the bottom, and she even felt a little frightened.

"I thought it was you standing here with me," Zhao Yu said with a sigh.

Qin Yao waved his hand as if shooing away flies: "Get lost, your stench is bothering me."

Zhao Yu's expression changed drastically: "What did you say?"

"I told you to get lost," Qin Yao said. "What, can't you understand human language?"

Zhao Yu flew into a rage and waved his hand, saying, "Beat them! Just don't kill them."

In an instant, four of the eight men standing behind him jumped out, two drawing their swords and two clenching their fists, pouncing on Qin Yao like ferocious beasts.

"Slap, slap, slap, slap."

Qin Yao stood quietly in place, and simply raised his right hand. Each of the four men was slapped. Two of them flew to the left and two flew to the right, seeing stars and bleeding from the corners of their mouths.

As for Zhao Yu and the other spectators, they didn't see the man swing his arm to hit them at all; they only saw the man raise his right hand, and the four cultivators were sent flying.

"Come at me all at once, don't waste time," Qin Yao said with a smile, looking up at the five people in front of him.

Zhao Yu's face turned pale, and he shouted, "Kill him!"

"Clang clang clang clang".

At his command, the remaining four men drew their long swords, leaped into the air, and slashed down with all their might.

Qin Yao made no move, but the four men who rushed over were all slapped, instantly following in the footsteps of the previous four.

"Sorcery, sorcery..."

The young prince was horrified, all his dignity gone, and he got up to flee the place.

With a thought, Qin Yao summoned a wisp of immortal energy that drew the other party back, causing them to turn around and face him directly.

The young prince: "..."

"Snapped."

Qin Yao raised his right hand and gently slapped this fair face.

It has to be light.

If it's not serious, his head will explode.

All three souls and seven spirits must be pierced.

Even though he had released so much water that it was almost a vast ocean, Zhao Yu was still beaten until his eyes rolled back, his head throbbed, and he could no longer hear any other sounds.

"So weak?"

Qin Yao was speechless and had no choice but to use a healing spell to restore the other's sight and hearing.

"Zhao Yu, you're the one who orchestrated this imperial decree marriage; it's up to you to put an end to it."

As Qin Yao's gaze gradually focused on the young prince, he said calmly, "If you only have the ability to stir up trouble but not the strength to resolve it, then I will go to the Prince's Mansion to find you again. At that time, I won't be so polite."

Zhao Yu's face turned pale with fright, and she stammered, "You...you let me go, and I'll go deal with this matter right away."

Qin Yao nodded, raised his eyes slightly, and the other person's body was pushed out of the hall by a burst of immortal energy, falling heavily to the ground.

"Get out of here!"

Turning his head, he saw that the eight guards were still in a daze. Qin Yao silently used his divine sound technique and shouted in a deep voice.

The eight people snapped out of their daze and scrambled out of the main hall, then quickly helped the groaning Zhao Yu away.

Inside the main hall.

The Leng family father and daughter were still in shock and unable to extricate themselves.

None of them had ever imagined that such a thing could be resolved through such means!
"Judging from his blustering but cowardly demeanor, he probably won't make things difficult for you again until he deals with me," Qin Yao said calmly, turning to Leng Ning.

The father and daughter were suddenly awakened. Leng Ning's expression was complicated. She spoke first: "Thank you, Elder Xu."

Although the matter seemed to be resolved, she did not like the outcome.

Qin Yao stared into her eyes and suddenly asked, "Leng Ning, are you hiding something from me?"

Leng Ning's heart skipped a beat, but she feigned composure and said, "No, why do you ask?"

Qin Yao said seriously, "I also hope it's not true... As an elder, I'd like to give you a piece of advice: Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are unforgivable."

You must not let a moment's lapse of judgment lead you astray into the demonic path, otherwise, how will your father live? And to whom will the Medicine Master Palace be entrusted?

Leng Ning: "..."

"That's all I have to say. Think it over carefully, and don't disappoint me." Qin Yao raised his hand and patted her shoulder before disappearing from their sight.

Leng Huichun realized what was happening and grabbed Leng Ning's wrist: "Leng Ning, what have you been doing behind my back?"

Leng Ning lowered her eyes and said, "I didn't do anything."

"Listen, if you dare to harm Xu Xuan, don't blame me for disowning you as my daughter."

Leng Huichun abruptly shook off her arm and said sternly, "Also, don't even think about scheming against Xu Xuan. Your skills are no match for him. You'll only humiliate yourself."

Leng Ning: "..."

three days later.

In the palace.

A middle-aged woman dressed in fine clothes carefully applied medicine to Zhao Yu with a handkerchief, feeling a pang of heartache: "Is Xu Xuan really as powerful as you say?"

Zhao Yu, enduring the pain, gasped, "I've already raised the bounty to ten thousand taels of gold, yet no one in the martial world dares to take on this job. Don't you think he's amazing?"

"What if we send troops?" the middle-aged woman asked.

"Even if we send troops to sweep through the Medicine Master Palace, if we don't kill Xu Xuan, then I will surely be the one who dies. It's so unwise to try to break a beautiful stone with a beautiful jade."

Zhao Yu said, "Moreover, I have thought of a better way to choose a bride. This time I am sure I will be able to pick a beauty that I like even more."

"What method?" the middle-aged woman asked with concern.

She was afraid that the child might have another flash of inspiration and cause some trouble.

Zhao Yu chuckled: "Isn't the Girls' Festival just around the corner? I'd like to take on the task of organizing the festival, and use this opportunity to select my favorite woman from among the unmarried women who are praying for a good marriage..."

"Rebel!"

Just as he was excitedly explaining his plan, a middle-aged man holding a sword and wearing a python robe suddenly strode over, glaring at him and angrily rebuking him.

Zhao Yu's smile froze, and she hurriedly said, "Mother, protect me!"

The middle-aged woman immediately stood up and blocked the man's path, saying, "Your Highness, what are you trying to do?"

"What are you doing? This beast begged His Majesty for a marriage decree, and it just arrived. Now he wants to break off the engagement, treating the Emperor's favor and marriage as a joke. If I don't teach him a lesson today, who knows what trouble he'll cause in the future..."

West Lake.

A gentle breeze ripples across the water.

Leng Ning arrived alone in front of the Bai residence, lingered for a long time, and still couldn't bring herself to knock on the door.

Evening arrived in the blink of an eye. Just as she sighed and prepared to leave, the courtyard gate suddenly opened, and Qin Yao stood quietly behind it, watching her figure as he said:

"If you back down at the last minute, you'll definitely regret it later!"

Leng Ning's body trembled, and she gasped, "Do you know why I've come?" (End of Chapter)
