The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law

Wu De, seeing Ning Shenji somewhat angry, felt somewhat guilty himself.

The Medicine Elder, however, was very eager to acquire Long Chen’s Alchemy Technique and desperately sought a way to do so.

Therefore, the Medicine Elder immediately said, "Young Master, why don’t we listen to Wu De’s whole suggestion first?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Shenji realized the Medicine Elder was somewhat tempted by Wu De’s suggestion.

Ning Shenji then said, "Wu De, then explain your idea thoroughly."

Wu De shrank his neck and said cautiously, "Third Young Master, your sister is unrivaled in beauty, and in every aspect, she is not inferior to any of Long Chen’s women. If the young lady could help you, Long Chen would certainly fall, and he would help you unconditionally."

"Bullshit," Ning Shenji angrily said. "You know full well my father dotes on my sister the most. If anything went wrong, how could I explain it to my father? This idea is absolutely not feasible."

"But actually, there is a more suitable candidate..."

Wu De stopped mid-sentence.

"What do you mean?" Ning Shenji furrowed his brow.

"This... Third Young Master, your fiancée, ahem..."

"Wu De, I really freaking want to kill you."

Ning Shenji clenched his fists.

The Medicine Elder hastily said, "Young Master, it might not be impossible to give it a try. After all, it’s just a ruse to deceive Long Chen, with the goal of getting him to teach me Alchemy. It is not to let your fiancée be truly harmed by Long Chen. We wouldn’t want that to happen either. It’s just a pretense; we absolutely won’t let your fiancée be truly harmed by Long Chen."

"I’ll think about it."

Ning Shenji was torn.

He was a little scared.

Because in his view, Long Chen was a very charismatic man.

If his fiancée was in contact with him for a long time, would she develop romantic feelings for him?

Wu De, an extremely cunning little man, had followed Ning Shenji for some time.

He had guessed many of Ning Shenji’s thoughts.

"Third Young Master, although Long Chen is also quite a figure, there is still a huge gap compared to you. Your fiancée knows the power of the Heavenly God Temple. If she can help you, it would be greatly beneficial for her too, so I think she will definitely do her utmost," Wu De said.

Ning Shenji didn’t speak and thought for a long time before he made a decision: "Fine, let her try, but with which identity should she approach Long Chen?"

"That’s simple," Wu De said. "Let her disguise herself as the Medicine Elder’s granddaughter. Approaching Long Chen like this would seem only natural. After all, the granddaughter would want the Medicine Elder to learn from Long Chen. Once Long Chen takes the bait, success will come easily."

"The method is clever, but you, you really deserve a beating."

Ning Shenji glared fiercely at Wu De.

That exceptional fiancée, he hadn’t even had the chance to get close to her properly.

But now, it seemed there was no better strategy available.

...

Several days later, Ning Shenji called his fiancée to Qianzhou.

She was a tall and stunning beauty, with clear eyes and an elegant demeanor that indicated her high-born status.

"Wang Meng, are you hungry? I’ll take you to eat first."

Outside the airport, Ning Shenji cordially helped Wang Meng with her luggage.

"What on earth did you call me here for?"

Wang Meng asked.

She was deliberately maintaining some distance from Ning Shenji.

"Let’s find a place and talk things over," Ning Shenji said.

"Let’s talk while walking," Wang Meng said.

"Wu De, you explain."

Ning Shenji said to Wu De beside him.

Because it was difficult for him to broach such a topic.

Wu De knew Ning Shenji would leave it to him to explain, and having no choice, he said, "Miss Wang, here’s the situation. Long Chen of Qianzhou possesses an extremely profound Alchemy Technique, and we’re in great need of it. But Long Chen is not swayed by anything except for beautiful women.

Therefore, the Third Young Master would like to ask for your help to see if you can persuade Long Chen to teach the Medicine Elder this Alchemy Technique. If you succeed, it would benefit the Third Young Master greatly in his achievements."

"I don’t quite understand your thinking," Wang Meng said. "You’re only getting some Elixir Formulas and haven’t found the powerful Elixir Formulas that can truly enhance someone’s strength. Are you not worried all this effort might be for nothing?"

"We’ve considered this," Wu De said. "The Elixir Formulas from the Dragon Shadow Group are unimaginable Miracle Pills, and if one could refine them, with further research and modification, there’s a chance to develop Heavenly Treasure Pills that can boost combat ability. So this favor, you must help me, no matter what."

"Heh, you would even push your own fiancée into the arms of another man?"

Wang Meng sneered.

It was evident Wang Meng did not hold Ning Shenji in high regard.

Ning Shenji, with a forced smile, said, "It’s not about you actually getting hurt. If that Long Chen abuses you, you can leave at any time. Please don’t let him take advantage of you; it’s just a ruse, and once you deceive him into teaching the Alchemy Technique, you can leave unscathed."

"I can help you with this, but I have one condition," Wang Meng said, staring at Ning Shenji.

"Say it, say it," Ning Shenji was a bit excited.

After taking a deep breath, Wang Meng continued, "Initially, our wedding was scheduled for the beginning of next month, but after I help you, I hope the wedding can be postponed by two months."

"Ah? Why is that?"

Ning Shenji didn’t understand.

Wang Meng said, "Don’t worry about why, just tell me whether you agree or not."

"I agree, of course I agree," Ning Shenji laughed. "Postponing by two months is also good."

"Then make it in writing."

"This..."

"What if I help you and afterward you deny it?" asked Wang Meng.

"Fine, I’ll do as you say."

...

An hour later, Wang Meng had worked out the details with Ning Shenji.

When Ning Shenji wanted to invite Wang Meng to his Heavenly God Biological Company, Wang Meng declined.

"I’d better go and see Long Chen directly since you’re so eager to learn alchemy. I think it’s better to implement the plan sooner," said Wang Meng.

"Fine, Wu De, you take her to Long Chen," said Ning Shenji.

"No need, just give me Long Chen’s phone number," said Wang Meng.

...

At that time, Long Chen was personally overseeing the progress at Great Xia Mansion, since Xia Ling had abruptly gone to the company.

The construction at Great Xia Mansion was progressing quickly; now, after just over ten days, it was already taking shape.

After all, with thousands of people working at the same time and shifts at night, construction was non-stop, twenty-four hours a day. The progress couldn’t be slow if it tried.

After nightfall, Long Chen left the construction area.

But as soon as he stepped out of the gate, he came face to face with a woman pulling along a suitcase.

The woman, in a white dress, with curves in all the right places, exuded an elegance combined with a subtle charm that made her a rare beauty to behold.

Even Long Chen, who was used to seeing beautiful women, was a bit dazzled.

But he didn’t stay, brushing past her.

"Please wait, are you Long Chen?" she suddenly spoke.

Long Chen frowned slightly and turned around slowly, asking, "Who are you?"

"My name is Wang Meng. The venerable Medicine Elder is my teacher, and he’s very interested in your alchemy, but you won’t teach him, so here I am," said Wang Meng softly.

Long Chen couldn’t help but chuckle, "And what can you do by coming here? Do you think that I would teach him just because you showed up?"

"If you don’t teach him, I will pester you day and night, constantly," Wang Meng said seriously.

Long Chen smiled lightly, his voice calm, "You’re such a beautiful woman, Ning Shenji really is willing to use you to tempt me. This obvious use of beauty is something I truly didn’t expect."

"Are you interested then?" Wang Meng blinked her eyes.

She scrutinized Long Chen, realizing that this guy was quite handsome; the more she looked, the handsomer he became.

Ning Shenji was also sort of handsome, but compared to this guy, he seemed lacking.

Long Chen ignored Wang Meng’s thoughts and said indifferently, "Go back, don’t waste time. I said I won’t teach and I won’t change my mind for anyone."

"It’s okay, then I’ll just follow you; I believe I can eventually move you," Wang Meng said with a light laugh.

"Don’t follow me, I have a wife, and I can’t let her misunderstand," Long Chen said with a chuckle.

"I don’t care. If you won’t teach, then I must follow you," Wang Meng’s eyes were resolute.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?" Long Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"You wouldn’t dare to kill me," said Wang Meng confidently.

"Is that so?"

Long Chen suddenly reached out with his right hand, gripping Wang Meng’s neck.

Wang Meng immediately found it difficult to breathe and instinctively grabbed Long Chen’s wrist, trying to make him let go.

But Long Chen had no intention of releasing his grip until Wang Meng really couldn’t hold out any longer, only then did he slowly let go.

Wang Meng clutched her chest, coughing violently for a while before she could regain her senses.

Long Chen said sternly, "I’ll say it again, don’t follow me. Go back to where you came from. Heavenly God Temple and Ning Shenji are both trash, and I don’t like them, so there’s absolutely no way I’ll pass on my alchemy to them. You can take these words back to them as they are. And don’t even think about trying to seduce me with your beauty, I’m not falling for that."
