Body Refinement for Longevity: From Health Cultivation Exercises to Overcoming All Techniques

Zhuge Rushuang was stunned. She was stunned for a long time after hearing Chen Han's words. She even doubted that she had heard correctly.

The one who wanted her dead was the Emperor, the Son of Heaven, who owned the entire Yue Kingdom. He could change the course of a country with a single word, and killing someone would be effortless for him.

The martial arts instructors lined up to serve.

The man before her claimed he could save her life right under the Emperor's nose. How could that be possible? In her eyes, it was utter nonsense and boasting.

"What? You don't believe it?"

Chen Han was not surprised to see Zhuge Rushuang's disbelieving look.

After all, for an ordinary person, if the emperor wanted to kill him, it was tantamount to the King of Hell issuing a warrant for his execution, and there was no way to escape it.

But Chen Han has long since transcended the mundane world. After drawing qi into his body, he is no longer a mortal, but a cultivator, and has the qualifications to compete for the Great Dao and immortality.

Not only his status rose with the tide, but also his strength. Since he began to cultivate Qi, his combat power has been increasing at an almost terrifying rate every day, to a degree that even he himself cannot say for sure.

Because there's simply no one who can make him use his full strength.

Of course, he still wouldn't provoke those cultivators like Lu Tianren.

Zhuge Rushuang carefully looked Chen Han up and down, her face showing helplessness, her voice cold, "This place is not something you can control. Getting involved will only make you die faster. Don't overestimate yourself."

The two were prisoners and captives, but at this moment they seemed to be negotiating, with no indication of which side was at a disadvantage.

"Miss Zhuge, do you think I'm a fool to meddle in your trivial matters?"

Chen Han's expression remained unchanged as he spoke.

"What do you mean?"

"Now that things have come to this, there's no harm in telling you. I'm sure you've already guessed my identity. That's right, I am Chen Yan, the one that your dog emperor and those two mysterious people were so desperate to find that they mobilized the entire city to search for."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Rushuang's gaze became more solemn than ever before.

She had indeed guessed his identity as others had expected, and vaguely connected him with the person the emperor was looking for. However, she never expected that the answer would be told to her by this person himself.

She then thought about what this person had done today.

"No wonder, no wonder this person caused trouble at Kowloon Hall today; it turns out he was trying to attract attention and conceal his true identity."

"The capital city is teeming with hidden talents; a single order from the emperor will send them all out. If he lets things continue like this, he'll inevitably be exposed one day. Therefore, he defied the odds and set up a scheme to change his identity with this face."

"Impressive, this man is truly remarkable. If I hadn't happened to meet him the other night, I probably would have been like a headless fly searching for that so-called Chen Han, completely overlooking the dark-faced man who committed the crime today."

At this moment, even Zhuge Rushuang had to admit that this person's strategy was indeed brilliant, even unheard of, and unexpected.

How could Zhuge Rushuang know that Chen Han possessed memories of another world? In that world, his knowledge and intellect, while perhaps not exceptional, were certainly extraordinary, and some of his plans could produce unexpected results.

"I see. Then, young hero Chen, can you tell me who they are and why they are willing to go to such great lengths to capture you?"

Zhuge Rushuang's voice softened, even taking on a friendly tone, and she changed her address to "Young Hero".

How could she not understand the situation at this moment? This man named Chen Yan had already told her everything. If she didn't agree to cooperate today, she would have no chance of survival. She would probably be beaten to death before she could even finish uttering her refusal.

Zhuge Rushuang was of noble birth and possessed a stunningly beautiful appearance. She was naturally aloof and cold, but she was ultimately just a young woman, and how could she not be afraid when faced with the threat of death?

"You don't need to know about this. I may tell you when there's an opportunity in the future."

Chen Han refused to answer without any hesitation.

"Yes, that's fine, but there's still one thing I don't understand."

"And ask."

"I wonder what level of strength Young Hero Chen has reached, and why he is so confident that he can protect me from the Emperor."

Chen Han smiled faintly, but did not respond.

He wouldn't act like a clown and display overwhelming strength to prove himself. Sometimes, what makes them feel at ease isn't just strength, but also mystery.

Rather than killing a martial arts master with two punches in front of Zhuge Rushuang, it's better to maintain an air of mystery.

What kind of mediocre person could someone be who could be captured by the Emperor's own order, and who would spare no effort to mobilize the entire city's manpower? If Zhuge Rushuang wanted to know, let her guess.

"You don't need to worry about this, Miss Zhuge. Just do what you're supposed to do."

"And... I should trust you so much that you won't kill him to cover it up afterwards."

Zhuge Rushuang then asked the question that she cared about most.

"Alright then, I swear, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond. I swear to heaven, is Miss Zhuge satisfied now?"

Swearing an oath? That has absolutely no binding force on Chen Han. He's sworn countless oaths to people, and in the end, he still killed them all.

Of course, as long as Zhuge Rushuang doesn't scheme against him or turn on him, he certainly won't do anything like repaying kindness with enmity.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Rushuang shook her head without hesitation, indicating her disagreement with this method.

Chen Han looked helpless. There was nothing he could do. This woman was clearly aloof and arrogant. If he tried to coerce or entice her directly, it would only backfire and she might even turn the tables on him.

Now that this woman has revealed her intentions, Chen Han is much more at ease. At least he is certain that she is genuinely interested in cooperating with him, and not just trying to appease him temporarily before reporting back to the capital.

Zhuge Rushuang was deep in thought at this moment, her mind racing with ideas, but after thinking for a long time, she realized that she didn't have any good means to restrain Chen Han.

During this time, she even considered the proverb "Even tigers don't eat their cubs," and wondered what would happen if she became pregnant...

"Miss Zhuge, cooperation means giving both sides confidence, not simply control and coercion. If you want to restrict me in this way, you can just say so."

"Very well, since you've said so, young hero, then I'll believe you for now."

After much thought, Zhuge Rushuang realized she had no better solution and had no choice but to say these insincere words. This man was very cunning, and she dared not completely trust him.

"Well, that's good. By the way, there's something I need to tell Miss Zhuge. I just planted a kind of Gu worm in your body, called the Fatal Gu."

Every fifteen days, the Gu must consume an element called tin, or it will die, releasing a deadly poison that can kill a person within three quarters of an hour.

Of course, I naturally have those pills containing tin in my possession.

In other words, starting today, Miss Zhuge must take one of these pills from me every fifteen days, or she will die when the time comes.

"you!"

Zhuge Rushuang clenched her fair fists tightly, panting heavily with anger, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Unsurprisingly, she could think of ways to restrain Chen Han before she could cooperate with him with peace of mind. Didn't Chen Han think of that? He had already placed a Gu poison in this woman's body long ago.

But this Gu...
