Supreme Emperor of Mist

"Fleeting Cloud Steps!" Qin Fan shifted his position a few times in a flash. From how confident he looks, it was evident that Qin Fan is not taking this battle seriously. It was the same for the two elders because the situation is yet to get to the point of no return.

But that was enough for Qin Fan to show his dominance. Perhaps except for the elder protecting Sun Wu Jian in secret, there's nobody capable of giving him a hard time here in Demon Mountain Fort.

"Envoy Peng, please control your subordinates." Huang Ping speaks as he approaches Peng Yan.

"Both of them were not my subordinates. If they think they should stop, they will. Let's hope they won't get overboard with their enthusiasm." Peng Yan rested on a seat nearby, but her eyes are still glaring at Zhou Mei.

'Fan-Gege? Let me see if you're really her woman or not!' Peng Yan tightened her fist to the point cracking sound is heard.

"Country Protection Martial Art! Lightning Fist!" the elder called Li-Xun quickly retaliates against Qin Fan that moves like an eel swimming along with the mud.

"Whoa!" Qin Fan gave out an expression of shock as the attack locks him in a tight spot. Without a path to proceed or retreat, he can only choose to retaliate before a consecutive attack came at him.

"Country Protection Martial Art! Hammering Mountain!" just as Qin Fan expected, the next attack indeed came once he stops moving around. The other elder blow was like a hill toppling down at where Qin Fan stands.

"Heh... Martial Manifestation!" Qin Fan moves both hands to create a seal. By gathering the surrounding Spiritual Energy around him, the silhouette once again appeared above Qin Fan.

"Golden Lord's! Holy Fist!" the attack fueled with the strength of a proper middle-attainment rank cultivator explodes. Both martial arts executed by Peng Yan's subordinates were broken by Qin Fan in a single blow.

"How - How can this happen?" one of the elders retreated. The counterattack from Qin Fan surprises him as his Spiritual Energy is running amok right now.

"Brother..." the other elder called Li-Kun came and helped by pouring some of his Spiritual Energy to calm the disturbance happening in the other elder's body.

"Let's stop here," he said and cupped his hands together towards the two elders. It was already counted as amicable for Qin Fan to speaks politely with them after getting attacked by them first.

"Come, stand up," Qin Fan turned his attention to the soldier again and gave him a hand to get back on his feet.

"Fan-Gege..." Zhou Mei left her carriage and made her way to Qin Fan's side. Although she's still clueless about what happened until now, she knew that a part of it came from her.

"Everyone, please calm down. Let us put this misunderstanding aside and get friendly with one another here. After all, everyone that came to our Demon Mountain Fort shall be treated as a guest of our prince." Huang Ping said.

"This brother, I am Shan Xiong Xin, one of the brothers of Qin Lan. May I get the honor to escort you into the fort?" Shan Xiong Xin approaches Qin Fan to quickly bring him away before everything escalates further.

"Of course!" Qin Fan shook Shan Xiong Xin's hand and agreed with his suggestion. As for Zhou Mei, she'll be following them naturally because she knew Shan Xiong Xin all along from Sun Wu Jian's manor until now.

"Envoy Peng. Please follow me as I bring you to meet our prince." Huang Ping said. But the moment he lifted his head up, Peng Yan has already vanished from her seat.

"Eh? Where did the envoy go?" he was surprised. Although his strength as an eighth-level Flesh Refining might be meager in front of Peng Yan, it shouldn't be weak to the point she can slips away from him without alarming him.

Furthermore, Peng Yan was just a half-step Bone Expert like Expert Yi.

It was already too late by the time he turned around. Peng Yan was on her way to create another mess.

Zhuge Xinyu was the first to run to Zhou Mei and hugged her after not seeing her for too long. As for the other lass, she's still holding Qin Lan's hand while they came out from the fort.

"Qin..." Zhou Mei was coming to Qin Lan's side with Zhuge Xinyu holding one of her hands, but who knows that there'll be an obstacle barging in between them.

Although this wasn't his first time encountering Peng Yan's slithering movement, it was shocking for him to get tangled by her again for the second time. This time, she's much more daring as she kissed Qin Lan right in front of so many people.

With only one hand capable of moving around, Qin Lan resisted.

His hand immediately went to Peng Yan's neck and gave his hand a pull to separates her lips from his. But Peng Yan's persistence surprises Qin Lan for the second time as she latched on Qin Lan like a body-hugging spider.

Once again, Qin Lan was put in a sticky situation as the envoy from the Country of Wei kisses him for the second time.

The girls were dumbfounded. Zhuge Yanyu is still holding Qin Lan's hand without letting go. Afraid that he'll hurt the lass's wrist if he swings her hand away, Qin Lan can only continue to struggle with one arm.

"Huh... Huh... S - Stop right there! What are you doing with my man!!!" Zhou Mei finally lost her temper. The calmness of a rich young miss from the Zhou Family is no longer the most important thing in her mind right now.

"This... What is happening today, for heaven's sake?" Huang Ping, Shan Xiong Xin, Expert Yi were all speechless with everything that happened around them. Even the two elders escorting Peng Yan here were surprised by Peng Yan's attitude towards Qin Lan.

'To think that there's someone like this brat existed in this world... Is this why the general allowed her to come on his behalf?' they thought.

"Qin Lan! How can you do this and allowed another woman to kiss you right before me? Can you face Hu Jia like this?" Zhou Mei pushes Peng Yan away as she retakes the spot that was supposed to be hers.

"Huh - Let me breathe first. Yanyu! Let go of your teacher's hand now. Do you want to get me into trouble?" Qin Lan finally gets to talk after Zhou Mei interrupts. He did not think that the lass could actually get stunned to the point of not letting him go after witnessing something like this.

But it was normal.

Even the spectators around them were stunned by Peng Yan's straightforwardness when she came at Qin Lan and kissed him on his lips before saying anything.

With his right arm now movable, it is easier for Qin Lan to gather some strength to pull Peng Yan off from him. But alternately, there's another problem on his left side.

Zhou Mei was hugging him much harder than Zhuge Yanyu. It was the same situation all over again with Zhuge Yanyu, only this time, it was on his left instead of right.

'Who's karma did I do wrong to be put in this kind of situation right now?' Qin Lan sighed.

"Yunxi!" Qin Fan's face immediately turned bright the moment he saw the woman he loved. Like a puppy saw his master coming out from the door, Qin Fan darts over to Luo Yunxi's side.

And what happened next was the exact opposite of Qin Lan.

One was bothered by women, and another was bullied by a woman. Without replying to his words, Luo Yunxi locked her arm around Qin Fan as she started to flick his forehead successively.

"Look at all this trouble you caused. And you still have the guts to Yunxi me." as a woman, it was natural for her to understand what was happening here.

With Qin Fan holding Zhuge Yanyu and Zhou Mei off from Qin Lan, and Luo Yunxi tugging Peng Yan away, Qin Lan finally could take a breather.

"Huh - Huh... Girls... Calm down." Qin Lan retreated a few steps back as he tried to calm himself down.

"Alright, let's get back to Cloud Plucking Sect." looking at Qin Lan's situation, Luo Yunxi couldn't help but chuckle at his good luck. Perhaps all the other men would be willing to die ten times to have a fragment of luck with women like he does.

"Lan-Er... I'll leave first." Qin Fan looked between Qin Lan and Luo Yunxi indecisively. But he eventually followed Luo Yunxi away as she was his concern.

"Everyone, shall we get into the fort?" Huang Ping, Shan Xiong Xin, and expert Yi said as the situation here seems to be handled at last by Luo Yunxi's interruption.

"Please, brother Qin, Miss Zhou, and Lady Peng," said Shan Xiong Xin as he took the lead to block Peng Yan from getting close to Qin Lan.

But it seems the envoy from the Wei is unwilling to give up as she is soon stuck in one of Qin Lan's arms forcefully. The smell of rivalry is evident as they made their way to Sun Wu Jian's quarter.
