CHAPTER 164: What I Want Is a Brother

“Fiancée is...” Chu Yang started to speak but suddenly fell silent. What is a fiancée? A fiancée... what else could it be? This question is not easy to answer.

“Duxing, what is a fiancée?” Chu Yang turned to ask.

“Well...” Gu Duxing scratched his head, looking quite perplexed: “It’s really hard to say. Dong Wushang, what do you think a fiancée is?”

Dong Wushang was taken aback and replied, “What do you mean by a fiancée?”

“What exactly is a fiancée, Brother Chu Yang?” Mo Qingwu asked anxiously.

“A fiancée is...” Realizing these guys couldn't figure it out, Chu Yang had to think for himself: “A fiancée is a future wife... um, that’s it.”

“A future wife?” Mo Qingwu blinked, looking confused.

“Well... it’s like...” Chu Yang started sweating, flailing his hands in the air, suddenly struck by inspiration: “It’s like your father and mother. Your mother, when she was young, was your father’s fiancée. Understand?”

“So that’s how it is...” Mo Qingwu finally understood: “So a fiancée is someone you’re always together with?”

“Right, right, someone you’ll be together with in the future.” Chu Yang wiped his sweat: “And, you must take care of your fiancée, you can’t let her get angry or sad... um, in short, a fiancée... well... is someone you must treat the best, and she must be the best for you.”

“Then... is it really that good? Brother Chu Yang, can I be your fiancée?” Mo Qingwu asked shyly. Her long eyelashes fluttered with imagination.

“Pfft...” Gu Duxing, who had been listening in with an odd smile, choked on the air and began to cough, while Rui Butong and Dong Wushang burst out laughing.

“Yes! Good, good, good!” Chu Yang said happily and satisfyingly: “Then from today on, Xiao Wu is my fiancée, wahaha…”

“Wow, haha, I’m also a fiancée now!” Mo Qingwu boasted with laughter: “You can’t let me get angry, can’t let me get sad, give me all the good food, let me play with all the fun things, and I want to hear all the good stories first…”

Chu Yang was drenched in cold sweat. So this little loli was after this...

Dong Wushang laughed for a while, then suddenly said, “Little sister, can I see your sword?” Being from the Ink Blade family, he was especially sensitive to swords.

Gu Duxing and the others, including Ji Mo and Rocky Luo, either held back their questions or quickly escaped to avoid any awkwardness.

Rocky Luo’s sword was just an ordinary one, but he was at odds with the Mo Family. He only needed an excuse to pretend he hadn’t seen Mo Qingwu’s sword... and Ji Mo naturally understood his intentions and deliberately led him away.

Otherwise, with such a peerless treasure saber in front of them, as second young masters from martial arts families, how could they resist their curiosity?

Now in their hearts, there was already a subtle thought of treating Chu Yang as the boss. Mo Qingwu’s words, “This sword was given to me by Brother Chu Yang,” completely dispelled any lingering thoughts Rocky Luo might have had.

If I sold a sword given to me by the boss, wouldn’t that be equivalent to betraying the boss? This is a big taboo in the martial arts world!

But influenced by his family, Dong Wushang was obsessed with swords, and not being able to handle such a peerless treasure saber was a tremendous torment.

He endured several times but finally couldn’t hold back and began to plead.

Mo Qingwu tilted her head and looked at Chu Yang: “Brother Chu Yang, can he see it?”

“Let him take a look.” Chu Yang smiled in his heart. Once Dong Wushang saw this sword, he would never be able to forget it! This man was one of the twelve figures of great influence, on par with Gu Duxing!

Mo Qingwu handed the sword to Dong Wushang; he was so nervous that his face turned bright red. He first rubbed his hands on his clothes several times, seeing there was still dust, then darted to the water’s edge to wash his hands before rushing back eagerly...
