Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

Yan slightly reduced his strength, and Cai Cai turned and fell into his arms. Her beautiful hair, like a waterfall, cascaded over Yan's shoulders, and the pleasant fragrance made Yan unable to resist moving closer.

In the dim moonlight, Yan could see another Cai Cai. In the darkness, her eyes shone like jewels, her elegance concealing a deep-seated fear.

"You're afraid of me? Why? Do you think I'll eat people?"

Looking at Cai Cai in front of him, Yan, who hadn't eaten meat for many days, was a little overwhelmed by the sudden close contact with such a high-quality beauty.

It wasn't that he was lustful or lacked willpower; his reason told him not to act recklessly, but his physical reactions were causing him great distress, which was why he felt unwell.

"It's you."

Yan got so close that Cai Cai finally recognized him. It was mainly because his red hair was so striking that even in the darkness, he could be seen quite clearly at such close range.

Upon recognizing Yan, Cai Cai's heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to remain calm and continued, "Young Master Yan, what brings you here so late at night?"

“Miss Cai’er is incredibly clever, don’t you think?”

Yan was neither flustered nor angry after being recognized by Cai Cai. He hadn't bothered to hide his identity this time, so it was normal for him to be recognized. This was a sign of his sincerity.

Cai Cai shook her head decisively, "Cai Cai can't figure it out, just like others can't see through you, young master."

"I told you, I'm here to help you solve your problem, as long as you're willing to pay just a tiny price."

Yan casually tossed Cai Cai onto his lap, then gestured with his right index finger and thumb, saying, "Just now outside, I heard you worrying about the upcoming team competition. I do have a solution."

I just don't know if Miss Caicai would be willing~

"Oh! Does the young master have any ideas?"

Yan's words, which carried such obvious implications, made Cai Cai somewhat unhappy, but she didn't show it. Instead, she asked with a serious expression, as if she was really prepared to make a sacrifice.

"I heard that the foreign players of each team can be replaced at any time. With Cai Cai's intelligence, she should understand what I mean."

Yan smiled and leaned back slightly on the rosewood chair. With his left hand supporting Cai Cai's slender waist, he exerted a little force, causing Cai Cai to lose her balance and fall towards him.

He held the beauty in his hands and said solemnly, "As long as we join forces, we can make it into the top four, and even the final is not impossible for us to win."

"Young Master Yan, words are not enough."

Cai Cai still resisted Yan, but dared not provoke him too much. After all, she was weaker than him and was currently in someone else's territory, so it was best not to cause trouble.

"Like this."

Yan snapped his fingers with his right hand, and all the candles in the room lit up at the same time, a sight that truly astonished Cai Cai.

Chapter 500 The Decisive Dark Flower

“Young Master Yan’s methods are truly admirable.” Inside the brightly lit room, Cai Cai looked at the lights that had suddenly lit up all around her and was secretly shocked. As a noblewoman of the royal family of the Fei Li Empire, she had seen a lot, but such bizarre methods still made her tremble.

Yan simply snapped his fingers, and all the lights in the room turned on. This move looked easy, but it was actually quite difficult to execute. At least, no one in the Fei Li team who accompanied Cai Cai on this mission to the Zhongtian Empire could do this.

Yan looked at her calmly.

“Miss Cai Cai, now, what do you think of my previous suggestion?” Cai Cai was still not calm, and Yan’s arrival had made her a little flustered. She could only whisper, “Young Master Yan, your suggestion was a bit sudden. Please forgive me for not being able to make a decision right now. Could you please let me think about it properly?”

"Consider? Sure, Miss Cai, please do as you please." Yan smiled calmly and loosened his embrace slightly, but still did not let go of Cai. He held her waist with one hand and her soft hand with the other, keeping her under his control.

Yan suddenly stopped moving, and Cai Cai felt a little relieved. After calming down and thinking for a moment, her face suddenly turned red. She glanced at Yan, who was squinting as if he was pretending to be asleep, and a thought suddenly came to her mind: He is quite handsome.

It wasn't that Cai Cai suddenly felt a surge of lust; rather, it was because while the man looked honest, he wasn't so well-behaved when he was holding Cai Cai in his hands. The palm covering her slender waist radiated heat, and the hand holding her soft hand unconsciously began to caress and play with it.

Cai Cai, a spinster of marriageable age, didn't notice anything amiss at first. It wasn't until she calmed down that she realized something was wrong with her body. However, Yan Yan didn't seem to make any other moves, and she didn't know how to react or resist. Under his manipulation, she was gradually aroused.

"Haven't you thought it over yet?" Cai Cai was momentarily lost in thought when she suddenly heard someone's voice again. A strong masculine scent made her face flush, and she instinctively flinched away like a startled deer.

"You, you..." Cai Cai finally managed to suppress the impulse and nervousness in her heart, raised her head to look at Yan's handsome face, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Good-looking people receive preferential treatment everywhere, regardless of gender. Yan's appearance was already quite good, and with the passage of time in his cultivation, especially after embarking on the path to godhood, his temperament became even more extraordinary. He was practically invincible when dealing with girls who prioritized looks.

Although Cai Cai isn't the type of girl who only cares about looks, with the two of them so close and her mind in turmoil, Yan's face really comes into play.

"Sister Cai, aren't you resting yet?" Just as Yan was about to press his advantage and force Princess Cai to sign the agreement, a girl's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door. It was none other than Minghua, who had previously had contact with Yan.

Yan's expression remained calm as he said softly, "It's Minghua. Respond to her." Yan didn't take the matter too seriously. He had already noticed Minghua when she came over, but he neither paid attention nor stopped her.

Cai Cai glanced at Yan, nodded, and said loudly, "Sister Minghua, I've been quite busy lately. I'll rest for an hour. You should go back now." Outside the door, Minghua's voice trailed off for a moment before ringing out again.

"Okay, Sister Cai, then you should get some rest." After saying goodbye, she seemed to turn and leave, her steps receding into the distance.

Cai Cai kept looking at Yan while she spoke, and when she heard Ming Hua's footsteps leave, she breathed a long sigh of relief and relaxed.

"Sigh!" At this moment, Yan let out a long sigh and shook his head.

"I've already said I meant no harm, why won't you believe me?"

"You—" Cai Cai was about to continue speaking when Yan gently grasped her wrist. She immediately felt a tingling and weak sensation all over her body, and her limp body collapsed into Yan's arms. Now she couldn't even speak.

"Be good first." Yan lowered his head and whispered softly against her snow-white neck. His actions were not offensive, but from another perspective, it would seem as if someone was about to unleash their beastly nature.

With a loud bang, the door was smashed open, and a beautiful figure, carrying a fragrant breeze, rushed towards Yan, who was bent over stealing a kiss. A hand locked onto the back of his head.

"I already said I meant no harm. Your methods are too naive." Yan looked up at this moment, casually releasing Cai Cai's small hand as he spoke, letting her fall completely into his arms. He continued, "Ming Hua's heart rate was irregular when you spoke just now; she was clearly tense for a moment. You were tipping her off, weren't you? Unfortunately, such methods are useless against me. Why bother?" Yan's words shocked Cai Cai. Yan could actually hear Ming Hua's heart pounding violently outside the door. Was this guy even human?

"Yan, it's you." The beautiful figure who attacked him exclaimed in surprise when he looked up. It was Minghua, whom he had just said goodbye to. The beauty was slightly flustered after recognizing him, and then she attacked even more fiercely.

Minghua exuded a chilling killing intent, her icy aura instantly locking onto Yan's body. Her delicate body was like a beautiful snake, gracefully leaping over a foot and a half in an instant, her right hand silently reaching for Yan's throat.

Yan Song slightly raised and flipped his right hand, and the palm wind caused the leaping Minghua to tilt and fall a foot away from him.

"You—" Minghua was startled, realizing that Yan's strength was far beyond her ability to contend with, and hesitated whether to retreat first and bring people over.

However, as soon as she hesitated, Yan's right hand changed from an outstretched palm to a claw, and a powerful force pulled her directly towards Yan.

Yan's methods were astonishing, and Minghua no longer needed to make a choice. As her body flew towards him, the beauty was still prepared to continue resisting.

His reaction was unparalleled. Her body twisted suddenly as she lunged forward, turning slightly to the side like a nimble water snake. She brushed past Yan's right hand and then darted in from the center. With a slender reach, she aimed for his throat at a tricky angle.

Minghua's dash was as fast as lightning, and her hand was about to reach Yan's throat. But at that moment, Minghua's expression changed slightly, and the hand that was grabbing Yan's throat suddenly slammed down.

With a muffled thud, Minghua's body was already airborne. It turned out that as she cut in from the center, Yan's right leg had already silently lifted up, while his upper body leaned back slightly.

If Minghua continues forward, her lower abdomen will first make intimate contact with Yan's knee.

However, Minghua's reaction was not slow either, and her body was extremely flexible. After a muffled sound, she launched another attack, changing her attack method again at such close range.

As she leaped upwards, she slightly flipped backwards, her knee striking Yan's forehead. The body bead of the Nether Flower was made of glutinous jade, representing flexibility. Her extraordinary movements at this moment showcased the greatest offensive characteristic of a flexible Heavenly Bead Master—every part of her body was a weapon.

"Why would a young girl use such offensive methods? It's not good to be taken advantage of." With a soft thud, Minghua's body, which had been rising up, suddenly froze. The moment Yan's right hand touched her knee, her delicate body went numb and powerless, and she could only fall down in disbelief.

"Be careful." Yan quickly reached out and scooped up the soft, limp Nether Flower, placing it in his arms and on his lap.

With one leg on each side, Yan placed her two best friends side by side, leaned her head in, rested her chin on their adjacent shoulders, and sighed, "Why did you have to do this? I told you long ago that I meant no harm."

"You shameless, Yan, I never thought you were this kind of person." Minghua collapsed weakly into his arms. Her former goodwill towards him had now turned into a bad impression. Just now, she had witnessed this guy trying to offend her sister Cai. The thought of how she had been thinking about him from time to time these past two days filled her with bitterness.

Yan explained, "Minghua, you've misunderstood. I came here tonight to discuss something with Sister Caicai." Minghua spat at him.

"Pah! You think I didn't see it? You were clearly trying to take liberties with Sister Cai. I really misjudged you. I never thought you were this kind of person. Don't be so smug. Wait until my brother gets here, and see how they deal with you."

"Your brother is probably sleeping soundly right now." As Yan spoke, a small, ingenious device flew into the room, and the door that had just been knocked open closed again.

Minghua was completely bewildered by the mechanical device, and at this moment Yan continued, "Minghua, you were very clever to leave a timer signal outside, but who told you to be so decisive? You were clearly inferior in strength but still acted so impulsively. You mustn't do that again in the future." As he spoke, he weighed the other beautiful princess Caicai in his arms and pouted, "Princess, you explain yourself."

"Ha, what's there to explain? You're no good person at all." Cai Cai also had a lot of complaints about someone. Just now, that person's words were so impolite. The two of them were like little pigs being played with in front of him. The princess was annoyed and had no intention of explaining at all.

"Are you two really going to keep this up?" Seeing that the two of them were not going to stop, Yan exerted a little force with both hands, and immediately the two of them stopped making a fuss, their pretty faces and jade necks turning red.

Sure enough, women who like to talk only behave when you get physical.

“Let’s continue with our previous topic. I’ll join the Emerald team; it’s a win-win situation.” Yan said again after seeing that the two of them had calmed down. When he mentioned this suggestion, Minghua’s eyes flickered, but it was unclear what she was thinking.

After a moment of silence, Cai Cai finally spoke: "Yan, what is your purpose in joining our Fei Li team to participate in the Heavenly Jewel Competition?"

Chapter 501 I Want the Heavenly Jewel Token

"I want the Heavenly Pearl Token, I want to go to Heavenly Pearl Island." Yan didn't hesitate much and casually said, "If I help the Fei Li Empire enter the top four, all members of the top four will be rewarded with a Heavenly Pearl Token. This Heavenly Pearl Token is mine. You can accept this request, right?" Yan's words made Cai Cai fall silent for a moment, while Ming Hua on the other side, upon hearing him mention Heavenly Pearl Island and the Heavenly Pearl Token, had a slight fluctuation in her eyes, clearly having other ideas.

Before Cai Cai could speak, Ming Hua spoke first.

"Yan, what do you need the Heavenly Pearl Token for?"

"I have my own plans, and this is none of your business. Everyone has their own secrets." Yan turned her head towards Minghua, her breath making her ears turn bright red as she spoke.

"Are you so eager to understand me because you can't wait to make things happen between us?"

"Pah! You lecherous and shameless scoundrel." Minghua felt a surge of heat in her heart, but she still refused to admit defeat and held considerable resentment towards him.

While the two were flirting passionately, Cai Cai, after careful consideration, finally made her decision.

"I can agree to your request, but you must guarantee that we can enter the top four. Only then can our deal be finalized. As for what you plan to do on Tianzhu Island, that's none of our business. But you can't act recklessly during this time; it might attract the attention of the Zhongtian Empire." Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm just going to Tianzhu Island to take a look. I won't cause any major trouble, and I certainly won't involve the Feili Empire." Cai Cai continued coldly, then looked at his hands holding the two of them, and said in a chilling voice, "That's for the best. Let go!" After weighing the options, she felt that agreeing to Yan's request wasn't too difficult.

First of all, Yan Yao's Heavenly Pearl Token can only be obtained by becoming one of the top four teams. Based on the previous strength comparison, their Fei Li team had no chance of entering the top four at all.

Tianzhu Island and Tianzhu Token are coveted by every team participating in the Tianzhu Tournament, and the Feili team is no exception.

Cai Cai had already given up hope and was just preparing to make one last effort to improve the team's performance, but she never expected Yan to come knocking on her door.

She had personally experienced Yan's strength; at least no one in the entire Fei Li team possessed such power.

Moreover, since they dared to come to us, they might actually have the ability to lead us into the top four. If this works out, it would be a great thing.

As for Yan's request, it's a good thing for the Fei Li Empire. After all, if this matter succeeds, the Fei Li Empire will be the beneficiary, as it will obtain the Heavenly Pearl Token, which was not expected. No matter how you look at it, it's a good thing.

However, there is a hidden danger in this matter. Yan may cause trouble on Tianzhu Island after obtaining the Tianzhu Token, which may involve the Haomiao Palace. If this happens and the matter is leaked, the Feili Empire will be in trouble. Therefore, Cai Cai needs to set some additional conditions first.

A hint of weariness flashed in Cai Cai's eyes as she softly said, "It's late, Young Master Yan, you can go back and rest now. Come early tomorrow, and I'll arrange for you to be the substitute." Yan released Cai Cai, and, supporting Ming Hua, walked towards the door.

“Alright, Your Highness, please rest well first. I’ll escort Miss Minghua back to rest!” Cai Cai’s expression changed several times. After hesitating for a moment, she said, “After you’ve escorted Minghua back, you should go back. It’s getting late.”

"Your Highness, rest assured, I understand." As Yan's voice came, the door to the room closed again. Cai Cai had been lying on the chair for a long time before she regained some strength. After struggling to stand up, she hesitated for a moment, but finally went to the bed in the room.

Although what she did was a bit like throwing a lamb to the slaughter, you can't entirely blame her. After all, it was he who summoned that strange Yan, and he's been talking about it from time to time these past few days. It's time for that brat to suffer.

With these thoughts in mind, Cai Cai rolled up her blankets and tried to fall asleep, but she couldn't. She tossed and turned for most of the night before finally drifting off to sleep.

While Cai Cai was suffering from insomnia, Yan escorted Ming Hua to a door not far away. Ming Hua, Cai Cai, and some other team members were actually very close by. If Yan hadn't used his formidable strength to minimize the noise earlier, his secret tryst would have been exposed long ago.

"Minghua, won't you invite me in to sit down?" Minghua arrived outside her room and was just about to quicken her pace to get rid of that annoying guy behind her when she suddenly heard someone's teasing voice again.

Her delicate body trembled, and she mustered her courage to turn around abruptly, but she didn't expect that someone had already pressed up to her, using one hand to brace against the wall and forcing her into a corner, thus pinning Minghua against the wall.

"What...what are you doing..." Minghua's voice became much softer. His face was so close to hers that she dared not speak loudly anymore.

“I think we can talk, let’s go to your room.” Yan looked down at Minghua, his gaze seemingly penetrating, making Minghua feel extremely uncomfortable. Hearing his final emphasis, this flower of the underworld finally couldn’t hold back anymore.
