Chapter 762: Beautiful Woman Trick

Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter

Feng Neng remained silent, the name alone enough to quell his rage. He had shifted from furious anger to unsettling calm. He could roar about killing others, but with Ye Mo, he dared not; instead, he felt compelled to apologize.

Who was Ye Mo? He had effortlessly slain Len Quan and Ling Wushui while under attack by countless Great Heaven Masters. To Len Quan or Ling Wushui, Feng Neng would be insignificant.

Feng Neng’s fury burned, but he dared not show it. A foolish order to hunt Ye Mo might mean the end of his clan. Ye Mo might very well visit the Sea Merchant Clan for a "spin."

Yet, however powerful Ye Mo was, could he truly ignore the death of Feng Neng's only son?

Fang Kuan sensed Feng Neng's turmoil. Dismissing the others in the room, he asked, "Big brother, what do you plan to do?"

Feng Neng dejectedly dropped his hands. "What can I do? It's fortunate if that slaughter-god doesn't annihilate our clan. Seeking revenge is suicide. But I can't just let it go."

Fang Kuan smiled. "Big Brother, honestly, do you want revenge?"

Feng Neng’s face fell. "He killed my only son; how could I not? But revenge requires capability. I heard Qi Youxin sought revenge for his son, only to last a single move against Ye Mo. Perhaps I should focus on saving the clan. Fang Kuan, find a way to give a lavish gift to the Magical Merchant Association. Sigh."

Fang Kuan nodded. "Yes, we must send a gift, but revenge isn't impossible, Big Brother."

Feng Neng leaped up, seizing Fang Kuan’s hand excitedly. "Brother, how can we get revenge? Tell me!"

Fang Kuan patted Feng Neng’s hand. "Big Brother, who is prettier, Goddess Zi Hua or Ji Mei?"

Feng Neng immediately envisioned Ji Mei – her moon-like face, crescent brows, and jade-like skin. The thought of her eclipsed his desire for revenge; only her beauty remained.

After a long pause, he sighed. "Though Goddess Zi Hua is beautiful, she's slightly less so than Ji Mei. Brother, what does this have to do with Ji Mei?"

"Big Brother, if you truly want revenge, you must give her to Ye Mo," Fang Kuan said.

"What?!" Feng Neng was shocked. He had acquired Ji Mei only a year ago, rescuing her from the streets. He loved her deeply and respected her wishes, waiting half a year after their marriage before consummating their relationship.

This was his woman, such a beauty—to give her to his enemy? Impossible!

"No, that's impossible," Feng Neng flatly refused.

Fang Kuan sighed. Despite his own calculations, his loyalty to Feng Neng was genuine. He sensed something about Ji Mei; his experience suggested she wasn't as weak as she appeared. He'd tested her repeatedly without success. Killing Ye Mo and giving away Ji Mei would kill two birds with one stone.

But Fang Kuan knew Feng Neng wouldn't accept his assessment of Ji Mei. He coughed. "Big Brother, why do you think Ye Mo is helping the Magical Merchant Association?"

Feng Neng shook his head. He didn't know.

Fang Kuan explained, "I understand this man. He's incredibly powerful, but extremely lustful. Big Brother, the events at Magical Continent Mountain stemmed from a woman named Mu Xiaoyun. Ye Mo slaughtered for her."

Fang Kuan continued, "Mu Xiaoyun was already with Ye Mo, but Taiyi desired her, leading to the conflict. Ye Mo's aid to the Magical Merchant Association is likely due to Yun Ziyi's beauty. She probably offered herself to secure his assistance."

Feng Neng sighed. "But that doesn't mean he'll like all beautiful women. Can't we offer him someone pretty?"

Fang Kuan knew Feng Neng wouldn't relinquish Ji Mei, so he sighed. "With Ye Mo's standards, he wouldn't consider ordinary women. Mu Xiaoyun and Yun Ziyi are exceptional beauties. To entice him, I can think of no one but Ji Mei."

Fang Kuan added, "Ye Mo annihilated countless sects, even Taiyi and Kun Qian. Yet, Ci Hang Jing Mosque remained untouched. Jie Xun was even Ye Mo's worst enemy. I later learned that several nuns had affairs with Ye Mo. He might be lustful, but he protects the women he loves. If Ji Mei can seduce Ye Mo, we have a chance to kill him. Afterward, Ji Mei will still be yours."

Feng Neng pondered, sighing finally. "Okay, we'll do as you say. But Ye Mo is a master; ambushing him will be difficult."

Fang Kuan, relieved by Feng Neng's agreement, replied, "Big Brother, don't worry, leave this to me. If Ji Mei seduces Ye Mo, we'll succeed."

Feng Neng agreed. "Immediately find Ye Mo and arrange for Ji Mei to be sent."

…

Hang Shui City – Ye Mo stood before the bustling city, lost in thought. Years ago, he'd been there with Xiaoyun; now, he was alone. He had searched countless cities and mountains for a month, finding many herbs but not Mu Xiaoyun.

Ye Mo spent his days exploring Hang Shui City and Hang Shui Square, returning to the Blue Sea Hotel at night—the hotel where he had once stayed with Mu Xiaoyun.
