The village beauty and me!

The fat man interrupted Tian Boguang, "Stop with that."

"The guys who brought us here before already said that."

"The knife has been in my brother's body for so long, and nothing's happened, has it?"

"We're not three-year-olds. You think you can trick us out of our things with just a few words?"

Tian Boguang frowned slightly. "You've misunderstood."

"I didn't intend to take it for free."

"You can try mentioning any conditions you may have."

"Resolving this peacefully will not do you any harm, nor will it harm the Medicine King Society."

Chen Huan immediately took out the Killing Blade.

Upon seeing the item, Tian Boguang, the chairman, and some other members were immediately shocked.

Tian Boguang, his previous composure completely gone, stammered, "What...what did you do to this knife?"

"How did it turn out like this?"

When Chen Huan first acquired the Killing Blade, it certainly wasn't in its current state.

It was black before, but after absorbing the snake demon's joy and resentment, it began to turn somewhat reddish.

Not long after, the sanatorium acquired the remnant soul of another snake demon, making the previously indistinct crimson color even more pronounced.

No wonder the people from the Medicine King Association were so surprised.

"I didn't do anything. Judging from your surprised looks, you don't seem to recognize me?"

"Does this mean the knife doesn't belong to you?" Chen Huan blinked and teased.

Tian Boguang frowned, but quickly realized, "This knife has actually been upgraded again?"

"Was it like this when you got it, or did you do something to it?"

"But no matter what, this knife does indeed belong to the Medicine King Society."

Chen Huan pursed her lips. "You said these are all yours, and your name is engraved on them?"

"If you call him, will he answer?"

This statement clearly implies a confrontational tone.

Tian Boguang's expression also turned ugly. "This thing has quite a history, and may even have some spirituality, but what you just said is impossible."

Seeing that he was about to speak again, Chen Huan brandished the killing knife in his hand, "I said it's not like that."

"This knife understands my words and responds."

At this moment, the middle-aged president also stepped forward.

The young woman behind him said coldly, "You're just bragging, aren't you?"

"This knife may be no ordinary object, but it is ultimately just a cold, lifeless thing."

"What kind of reaction can it possibly have? Do you expect it to jump around if you call out to it?"

Chen Huan smiled and looked the other person up and down.

Although she is approaching thirty, she maintains a very good physique thanks to her practice of martial arts and qigong.

Compared to ordinary women, she possessed a cold and ruthless aura, which made Chen Huan particularly interested in her.

"What are you looking at?" The woman sensed the unusual emotion in Chen Huan's eyes.

He became even angrier, and a look of shame and indignation appeared on his face.

Chen Huan turned her gaze away from a certain conspicuous spot on the other person.

He chuckled again, brandishing the killing knife in his hand, "If I said I could do what you just described..."

"If this proves that the knife belongs to me, then can your Medicine King Society relinquish it?"

The woman scoffed, "So what if you can't do it?"

"Shouldn't you return this knife to us?"

Tian Boguang and the middle-aged chairman exchanged a glance and each revealed a smile.

Clearly, they were quite satisfied with what their subordinates had just said.

A knife is just a knife, after all. No matter how special it is, it cannot respond to human commands or jump on its own.

Even though they are an ancient organization with a long history, they never believed that such a thing could exist.

Now they could only hope that Chen Huan would fall for the woman's provocation and be tricked, since this was their only way to get the item back.

Chen Huan originally really wanted to agree immediately.

At this moment, the fat man next to him coughed lightly twice.

Chen Huan immediately swallowed back what she was about to say.

"Girl, there's something wrong with what you just said." The fat man shook his head.

The woman glared at him. "Don't call me that so intimately. I don't know you."

The fat man clicked his tongue. "You old woman, you have such a bad temper. Is it because you don't have a strong man to discipline you?"

"That's why I'm used to being domineering."

These words immediately enraged the woman opposite, making her feel like she was about to explode.

There were many members of the Shennong Association around, and they couldn't help but laugh.

Clearly, the fat man's words made sense.

"Stop talking nonsense, what exactly are you trying to say?" The woman clenched her fists, her eyes blazing with anger.

If I hadn't known I couldn't win, I would have attacked long ago.

The fat man continued to shake his head, "It's very simple. Since you want to make a bet, and it's so difficult for us, then we have to be fair."

"If my brother loses, the knife is yours; if he wins, there's no reward."

"After all, the knife was already in his possession, and you couldn't take it away from him. Even if he didn't make the bet, what could he do?"

After listening, Chen Huan blinked repeatedly at the fat man to express his respect and approval.

If I had to pick this guy, he'd say he's brilliant and insightful.

Why didn't I figure this out before?

The woman fell silent, then looked at Tian Boguang, clearly intending to ask this strategist for advice on how to deal with the situation.

"What this young man said does make some sense."

"I suppose you have some conditions to set, so why not be straightforward?" Tian Boguang could tell that the fat man was not easy to deal with, so he gave a direct response.

The fat man smiled at him and said, "You're quite sensible. I admire you."

"This is our vice president, who is already highly respected. Does he need your admiration?" The woman next to Tian Boguang reprimanded him coldly again.

The look in his eyes as he glared at the fat man was like a knife, as if he wanted to skin him alive.

The fat man raised an eyebrow, pointed at her, and said, "My conditions are simple. If my brother wins the bet, this knife is ours, and you're not allowed to cause any more trouble. In addition, you also have to include this woman."

"You're asking for death!" The woman pulled out several throwing knives, her eyes blazing with murderous intent.

Startled, the fat man quickly jumped to the side and hid behind Chen Huan, crying, "Brother Huan, protect me!"

Chen Huan grinned, "Look at you, so spineless. You have the guts to provoke me but not the guts to take the challenge."

The fat man looked aggrieved. "Brother Huan, you're so unfair! I've gone through all this trouble, isn't it all for you?"

"Don't tell me you're not interested in this chick. You kept glancing at her like that. Do you really think I didn't notice?"

These words, spoken so bluntly, immediately made Chen Huan blush deeply.

He's a proud man, and now that his little scheme has been exposed in public, he's really embarrassed.

The woman opposite her also blushed.

A strange and resentful gaze turned to Chen Huan, and he gritted his teeth as he cursed, "A toad trying to eat swan meat? Utterly delusional!"
