When Chen Nan realized things were amiss, he quickly changed the subject, "No, I mean, how long will I need to work for this job?"
"Once you find your junior sister, you can leave whenever you want, I'll absolutely not hold you back," Su Yixuan said, somewhat excitedly. Now that Chen Nan had accepted the job, she wouldn't have to worry about her sister's safety anymore!
"Then do I get a salary?"
Chen Nan was quite concerned about this question, as he couldn't even afford meals at the moment.
"Of course," Su Yixuan said with a smile, "Is ten thousand a month enough?"
"Ten thousand!?"
Chen Nan was so excited he almost jumped up; this beauty was generous, way more reliable than that deadbeat old master!
Su Yixuan thought he found it too little and hurriedly said, "What about twenty thousand?"
"Twenty thousand!?"
Chen Nan struggled to keep his composure, thankful they were in a private room at the restaurant, so as not to disturb others.
"Well... you name a price," Su Yixuan said, thinking he was about to ask for the moon. She was determined, no matter the cost, to hire Chen Nan, this guardian deity to protect her sister.
"Yixuan, actually, I meant that you're offering too much," Chen Nan said helplessly. He would swindle anyone, but just couldn't bring himself to cheat a beauty—especially one whose body he'd seen...
Su Yixuan inwardly cursed herself for suspecting a gentleman of petty motives, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. If you have no objections, then let's settle on twenty thousand."
Chen Nan didn't object; after all, Su Yixuan didn't seem short of money, and taking twenty thousand wouldn't really be cheating her.
After finishing their meal, they went back to Su Yixuan's house together.
It was a luxurious villa, its decorations could only be described as lavish.
"From now on, you'll live here too," Su Yixuan said with a smile, then looked upstairs and shouted, "Qingqing, come down quickly."
"Big sis, you're finally back! I thought you had disappeared!" A voice as clear as a bell echoed from upstairs, causing Chen Nan to be involuntarily charmed—such a pleasant voice.
Is this her younger sister?
As Chen Nan was pondering, the sound of footsteps "thumped" down the stairs, and he saw a beautiful girl around eighteen rushing down.
She wore a cute smile with charming dimples on her face, clearly a lively and active girl.
A beauty, an absolute stunner!
Watching Su Qingqing run down, Chen Nan couldn't help but swallow, but what puzzled him was why this young beauty was holding a pair of black lace thong underwear?
Even for welcoming someone, this was a bit too enthusiastic, wasn't it?
You're so clueless, big sis. What kind of trash did you buy me? I won't wear..."
The girl waved the thong in her hand, complaining to Su Yixuan. But she stopped mid-sentence when she suddenly noticed a man standing in the hall; she cried out in shock, missed her step, and sat down hard on the stairs, throwing the thong in her hand.
"Ow, my butt, it hurts so bad..."
Su Qingqing rubbed her backside as she got up, only to realize what she had been holding was gone. Anxiously looking up, she saw a piece of black fabric... right atop the man's head.
For a moment, both the young beauty and Su Yixuan held their breaths, utterly dumbfounded.
Chen Nan paused, and when he reached up to his head, his eyes widened in an instant, shocked beyond belief! Such a Divine Artifact!
Holding the Ancient Divine Artifact in hand, Chen Nan looked up and down, left and right, and finally came to a conclusion—
The fabric of these pants is damn scarce! So scarce it's maddening! Just a small patch of cloth, and the rest are straps the size of shoelaces! Can this even be called pants?
Chen Nan inwardly ridiculed, quite speechless.
Su Yixuan's face turned red, feeling that Chen Nan was simply a pervert for staring so intently at women's underwear without the slightest sense of shame.
After glaring fiercely at Chen Nan, Su Yixuan was about to scold him for being a pervert when, at that moment, Chen Nan asked with a puzzled face, "Yixuan, what's this thing? It looks so weird." He even tugged at it after speaking.
Both sisters were startled. He doesn't recognize it?
They both secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it's better if he doesn't recognize it. It would be too embarrassing if he did.
"It's just a trinket, doesn't have a name."
Su Yixuan spoke with a reddened face, then quickly snatched the T-back panties away and stuffed them into her pocket.
Chen Nan likewise scratched his head, full of confusion.
One had to admit, the guy's skin was really thick. The two sisters were blushing, but he was the only one who wasn't, and his face was so innocent that one wanted to rush up and give him a few slaps, cursing him as a hypocritical beast.
Su Qingqing hurried over and pointed at Chen Nan, asking, "Big sis, where did this thing come from? How did it end up in our house?"
Su Yixuan retorted with a laugh and a scolding, "You silly girl, don't be rude, his name is Chen Nan, and he's your big sister's lifesaver."
Upon hearing this, Su Qingqing became anxious and looked Su Yixuan over from top to bottom, "You were in danger? Are you hurt?"
Thinking about what happened last night, Su Yixuan still felt a bit of palpitations. Seeing that her sister was so worried about her, she felt warmth in her heart and shook her head, "I'm fine."
Su Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, then her eyes twinkled as if she thought of something, and with an evil grin, winking like a little witch, she said, "Big sis, a heroic rescue, don't tell me this guy is going to be my brother-in-law?"
"What are you thinking about?" Su Yixuan helplessly smiled, "There are many people who want to harm us sisters now, he's here to protect you." Then she looked at Chen Nan and introduced, "This is my sister, Su Qingqing."
"Truly a beauty that brings nations to their knees!" Chen Nan laughed.
"You do have an eye for it, just for that comment, I'll consider you one of the bros," Su Qingqing said playfully, then furrowed her brows and added, "However, I, Su Qingqing, have unrivaled martial arts skills, I don't need anyone to protect me, hehe..."
Su Yixuan gave her a disdainful look, "Are you still bragging about that kitten-style Kung Fu of yours?"
Su Qingqing looked at Chen Nan with a mischievous smile, then suddenly lunged forward with a rush, her fist aimed at his forehead.
My goodness, she's playing dirty!
Chen Nan inwardly despised Su Qingqing thoroughly, but his face remained calm. Only when Su Qingqing came close did he stretch out his left hand and caught the tender little fist, saying with a smile, "Little girl, you need to use waist and leg power when you throw a punch, relying solely on arm strength won't cut it."
"I know that, you don't have to teach me," she retorted.
Su Qingqing struggled with all her might, trying to pull her fist back, but Chen Nan's hand clamped on like an iron claw, unbreakable no matter how hard she tried.
After struggling ineffectively for a while and being infuriated, Su Qingqing gritted her teeth and, instead of retreating, launched a side kick at Chen Nan's head.
The girl indeed had some martial arts foundation, the kick was quite professional, her legs splitting a full 170 degrees. However, Chen Nan merely raised his hand effortlessly and grabbed her ankle.
Normally, the fight would be considered over at this point. But unfortunately, Su Qingqing was wearing a skirt today.
The knee-length skirt she wore was flipped to the base of her thighs due to the split.
Looking at the snow-white legs before him, Chen Nan couldn't help but feel the Beast Blood surge within him, and as his gaze swept further inward, it nearly boiled over.
