Primordial Era: Jade Cauldron Forgot to Take on Disciples

Chapter 16 Amazing Enchanting Techniques

Sticking your neck out means you'll get cut, whether you stick your neck out or not.

When it's time to make a decision, make a decision.

Yang Jian ultimately decided to go along.

As they approached the main camp, the expected chaos did not materialize. Instead, bursts of laughter and cheerful conversation filled the air, accompanied by the harmonious sounds of music and the aroma of wine.

I went inside and took a look.

A group of dancers are dancing in the middle of the room.

Wearing a veil, Su Daji swayed her waist, her rounded hips bobbing left and right, as she gracefully walked towards the middle-aged man in the center. She tilted the jade pot in her hand, and the wine dripped down in thin streams.

The middle-aged man was Su Hu, with a full beard. He was drinking heavily at the moment, his collar casually open, revealing his dark chest hair.

"Get out!"

Su Quanxiao's face turned cold, and he chased the group of dancers out.

"My child, you've come at the right time. Look, your sister was worried that we were suffering on the front lines, so she specially brought fine wine and these dancers to visit us."

Su Hu slapped his thigh and then gestured to Su Daji, who was pouring the wine: "Go, give this cup of wine to your brother."

Su Quanxiao's face turned pale. His father actually believed that Su Daji was his daughter, but the tenderness in his eyes was undeniable.

He felt that his once familiar father had become utterly estranged: "Dad, are you confused! Where did I come from?"

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

But Su Daji turned around, holding a wine cup, her charming eyes sparkling: "Brother, it's been a long time. After you and Father went to war, I couldn't eat at home every day. So I came to the front line to visit you. I'm relieved to see you're alright. Here, drink this cup of wine."

Su Quanxiao, who had been gripping the hilt of his sword at his waist, suddenly loosened his grip, took the wine cup offered to him, and drank it all in one gulp.

Because he drank quite a bit, a lot of the alcohol dripped down his chin.

He casually touched the bottle, flicked away the spilled liquor, and said with a hint of excitement, "Sis, you still don't believe in my abilities? With me here, what could possibly happen? It's you who's been through so much hardship on this journey, sleeping in the open and eating all sorts of things."

"No way~ I didn't suffer at all, and I feel so bad for making my little brother worry."

Su Daji covered her face shyly and giggled, then glanced at Yang Jian standing to the side without leaving a trace.

Yang Jian suddenly felt a chill run through his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

He had seen Su Quanxiao's performance just now. He came with a fierce aura, but the moment he saw Su Daji, he forgot why he came.

Su Daji used some kind of magic, without revealing a single trace, to make everyone believe that she was Su Hu's daughter.

As expected of a fox demon capable of bringing disaster to the country and its people, she has already begun to show her true power by revealing her abilities.

Yang Jian could only pin his hopes on the Blackie in his arms.

Blackie has the strength of an immortal. No matter how powerful Su Daji is, can she be more powerful than an immortal?

He stroked the cat's chin repeatedly, wanting only to make Blackie more comfortable so that he could save his life later.

"Quanxiao, you just said your father is confused. How am I confused? You need to explain yourself properly. And what are you trying to do by bringing so many soldiers here? Do you want to take the position of Marquis of Jizhou now?"

Su Hu shook his slightly dizzy head and suddenly questioned him.

"Me~Me~"

Su Quanxiao stammered, unable to speak. He had also forgotten why he had brought the troops here. His face was pale, and he could only look at Su Daji with pleading eyes.

"Oh dear, Dad, what are you saying?"

Su Daji let out a coquettish laugh, then pointed at Yang Jian: "My little brother has acquired a fierce general and wants to present him to you, Father. Yang Jian was invited out of seclusion by your grain supervisor, Lord Zheng Lun. He has taken good care of me along the way, so you must reward him handsomely."

"A tiger general? Let me show you just how tigerish!"

Su Hu turned his gaze to Yang Jian and found that he was holding a halberd in one hand and a cat in the other. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see anything tigerish about him.

He immediately got up from his seat and beckoned, saying, "Come and have a go with me."

Yang Jian was speechless. Su Hu and Su Quanxiao were indeed father and son, their personalities were exactly the same.

Su Daji looked at Yang Jian with undisguised schadenfreude.

Su Quanxiao hurriedly spoke up to dissuade him: "Father, you mustn't! Yang Jian has superhuman strength and might hurt you."

"Yes, my lord, my junior brother is quite formidable. I wouldn't dare to fight him if I didn't use my supernatural powers."

Zheng Lun, who was sitting in the lower seat, also spoke up to persuade them.

Su Hu was also worried that if he lost, he would lose face and be embarrassed in front of his daughter and many soldiers.

He gave up his thoughts and sat back down dejectedly. But when he turned to look at Daji, he perked up again: "Daughter, you said you wanted to reward this tiger general, but I really don't know what to give him. Why don't you help me decide?"

Yang Jian's heart jumped instantly. He really couldn't figure out what Su Daji's intentions were. She clearly had the whole situation under control, yet she still wanted to play games.

Su Daji could definitely tell that Su Quanxiao had barged in because of him; otherwise, she wouldn't have looked at Yang Jian with such a meaningful gaze.

But now that a reward is to be given, a woman's mind is truly hard to fathom.

Su Daji circled around Yang Jian, her alluring gaze making his heart race.

Her alluring fragrance made one's heart flutter.

Yang Jian knew clearly in his heart that this woman was definitely suspicious. When he saw her, it was as if there was a scorpion hiding in his clothes, crawling along his skin. Her sharp limbs made him tremble with fear and feel uneasy all over.

Someone else might have thought they had won the favor of a beautiful woman and was enjoying it.

"In my opinion, it would be better to reward him as my personal bodyguard. The northern border is in chaos, and there might be bandits who are lusting after your beauty."

"Alright~ Since our daughter likes it, let's call this tiger~ what's it called again?"

Su Daji said sweetly, "Yang Jian~"

"Yang Jian, would you be willing to be my daughter's personal bodyguard?"

No~

Yang Jian originally wanted to refuse.

He had barely uttered a single word when he saw everyone around him turn cold. When they looked at Su Daji, their eyes, which had been filled with tender affection, suddenly turned as cold as ice that had never melted.

He quickly changed his tune, saying, "I dare not disobey. Yang Jian will do his utmost to protect Miss's safety and serve as her personal bodyguard."

He emphasized the words "intimate" with extra emphasis, trying to see a hint of displeasure on Su Daji's face.

But he did not get his wish. The coldness in his eyes vanished suddenly, as if it had just been his imagination.

The somber atmosphere in the tent seemed to have never existed.

Su Hu laughed and waved his hand: "Good~ Please take a seat, continue the music, continue the dance."

After the table was moved and a new table was added, Yang Jian sat down.

He then realized that he was soaked in sweat, and the bizarre scene continued to haunt him.

While Su Daji was pouring wine for the others, he woke the black cat he was holding and whispered, "Blackie, can you feel it?"

"What?"

Blackie's eyes were blank, as if he knew nothing.

Yang Jian assumed that Hei Ye had been sleeping the whole time and therefore was unaware of the whole story, so he hurriedly told him everything about Su Daji that had happened along the way.

"You've been bewitched, haven't you!"

Hei Ye jumped out of Yang Jian's arms, squatted down on the table in a hen-like squatting position, and curiously looked at Yang Jian.

Yang Jian thought the black tiger could see through Su Daji's bewitching magic, and was immediately relieved: "Yes, everyone here has been affected. They all believe that Su Daji is Su Hu's daughter, but she is not. It is Su Daji's bewitching magic that is causing this."

Blackie gave him a look as if he were an idiot and transmitted his voice, "How strange! Someone actually managed to block my senses and cast a spell on you. Everyone knows that Su Daji is Su Hu's daughter, how come you didn't know that?"

After saying that, he stretched out his cat paw, gently channeled his magic power, and patted Yang Jian's head.

"I have a way. I can break the evil spell on you with just a pat."

When Yang Jian saw Black Tiger's behavior, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave and stood there stunned, not even paying attention to Black Tiger patting his head.

Su Daji's bewitching arts were so powerful that they could bewitch even a tiger demon at the immortal realm without the demon's knowledge.

How terrifying!

He didn't give up and grabbed the outstretched cat paw: "Brother Hei, you usually hide in the deep mountains and forests with your master to cultivate, and you rarely come into contact with people except to cheat money and eat people. How do you know that Su Hu has a daughter named Su Daji?"

Blackie frowned and began to think.

Yang Jian felt there was a chance: "Think about it, isn't something very strange?"

If you don't like it or don't like it, feel free to leave a comment before you go.
