# Chapter 1025: The Grim Reaper Didn't Come to Work Today! (Bonus Chapter)
Chen Daoyi was absolutely furious!
What kind of cooperation and agreement? There was no such thing at all!
Xiao Xi, you better stop talking nonsense at a time like this!
There's no way you're tricking your grandfather like this!
When did his own granddaughter get stolen away by this little bastard?
Actually, Chen Daoyi wasn't even sure if this was really his granddaughter!
What if it was someone else in disguise?
(ꐦಠ益ಠ) "No... he... this... I... Damn!"
[From Chen Daoyi: Resentment Value +1000!]
Chen Daoyi felt that even if he had eight hundred mouths now, he couldn't explain himself!
He was truly at a loss for words!
Why was everyone holding a chamber pot and trying to dump it on his head?!
He had originally come to mess with Jiangnan!
But he was being used as a shield instead!
Pepper's face twisted in rage: "Nothing to say now? A dignified Dao Heaven who dares to act but not take responsibility? Are you even a man?"
Jiangnan nodded in agreement!
(･᷅ὢ･᷄) "Exactly, exactly!"
Haha, you want me to call you Dad? I'm tricking your daddy right here!
Chen Xi anxiously said: "Grandfather! The Brahma Society is nothing but bad people! You have to get revenge for me!"
Chen Daoyi's fists cracked as he clenched them. He finally understood completely!
Jiangnan's pirate ship—was he forced to board it or not?
Well, I refuse!
Chen Daoyi didn't say another word. With a sudden lunge, he tucked Chen Xi under his arm!
Then, without looking back, he sprinted toward the exit!
Laughing triumphantly!
(￢ᗜ￢#) "Drag me into this? No way! I can extricate myself anytime!"
"As for you? Just stay here and bear the wrath of the Brahma Society, and welcome death in despair!"
If he couldn't explain himself, he wouldn't!
No matter how you scheme, I'm not getting involved, okay?
Chen Xi panicked and began struggling wildly!
"Grandfather! How can you do this? This isn't right! Don't leave Brother Jiangnan alone!"
"He saved my life! Let me go! I don't want to leave!"
Chen Xi's little fists kept pounding against Chen Daoyi!
Chen Daoyi's face darkened. Had Jiangnan brainwashed his granddaughter?
"Don't mind him! That little bastard is full of tricks! He's deceived you!"
Chen Daoyi ignored Chen Xi's struggles and had already run forty to fifty thousand meters away!
At this moment, Pepper's eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze landed directly on Jiangnan!
"Then I'll kill you first! No one's leaving today!"
With that, he transformed into a meat projectile and charged straight at Jiangnan!
Jiangnan looked completely calm!
(๑ᵔ◡ᵔ)=З=З
"Sorry, but the moment you appeared in the underground city, you were already caught in the trap!"
"Leave? Did I permit that?"
"Spatial Displacement!"
Just as the meat projectile was about to hit Jiangnan, the displacement activated!
Chen Daoyi, who had already run far away, felt his vision blur!
His entire body was displaced right in front of the meat projectile!
Σ(||ŐдŐ)=З=З
Chen Daoyi: ???
He didn't even have time to react before being sent flying!
(￣ε(#￣)=З=З
Blood sprayed through the air!
Looking up, he saw Jiangnan standing in the air with Chen Xi tucked under his arm, looking at him with a smile!
[From Chen Daoyi: Resentment Value +1000!]
What kind of spiritual technique was that?
It could swap positions?
So he had run for nothing? No matter how far he ran, he'd be swapped back?
Jiangnan narrowed his eyes: "Don't forget! If I die, you'll never get the Spiritual Gauze in your lifetime!"
"There are some things I don't want to say in front of your granddaughter! I'm saving you face, but I'm telling you—this is your Chen family's last chance to survive!"
"Whether you leave or stay is up to you!"
Chen Daoyi's face turned pale!
Was Jiangnan's ability to scheme against him because he already knew about the Chen family's plan to plant the Vine Seeds in the Western Frontier?
Even though it hadn't happened yet, once done, it would be betraying Hua Xia!
If the higher-ups had evidence of this crime, they would certainly cut off the Chen family's survival and strike without mercy!
To find a way out for the Chen family, he had to follow Jiangnan's suggestion and truly cooperate!
Turn the non-existent cooperation into a real one?
"Jiangnan! You are absolutely ruthless!"
Chen Daoyi had never submitted to anyone in his life, but now he was completely controlled by Jiangnan!
Jiangnan said flatly: "You courting death came first! The bitter fruit you dug yourself—now you taste it!"
Chen Daoyi's eyes were full of struggle, but in the end, he accepted his fate and took a deep breath!
"Fine! I admit it! I'm not hiding it anymore! I am cooperating with Jiangnan, so what?"
"You captured my granddaughter as a blood bag first, so I went to cooperate with Jiangnan! What stupid meeting?"
"That was all a strategy to fool you, to infiltrate the underground city! It was all aimed at the Mother Vine!"
"If you have the guts, kill me!"
Jiangnan grinned. This old man had finally seen the light!
Pepper howled at the sky: "Playing me! All of you are playing me! Die! All of you die! Beast Transformation!"
Pepper's body swelled, fangs grew, and he transformed into a giant pig over a hundred meters tall!
His entire body was pink, eyes bloodshot, and his fat piled up like a mountain!
Turning into a meatball, he charged straight at Chen Daoyi!
The battle entered a white-hot phase!
Just then, a Mother Vine root broke through the ground and lashed toward Jiangnan!
Jiangnan's scalp tingled as he teleported away, placing Chen Xi on a rooftop!
"Don't follow me! Too dangerous! Get out of here yourself!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, another vine root smashed through the building, and Jiangnan had to teleport to dodge!
Yet more vine roots followed, hundreds of them weaving a net that covered the sky!
Striking at Jiangnan from every angle!
Just as Jiangnan was about to teleport, a vine whip struck him!
"Boom!"
Jiangnan's body flew like a torn sack, and the sound of bones cracking was chilling!
He was thrown who knows how far!
Holding his ribs, Jiangnan coughed up a mouthful of blood, his vision blurry!
"Dammit! Why is my reaction so slow?"
The energy inside him grew increasingly violent, and Jiangnan felt like he was about to explode!
"Li Ya and the others should be near the exit. I need to help tear through the defense line, or a lot of people will die..."
Shaking his head, he pulled out the Blood-Drinking Halberd and teleported repeatedly, avoiding the blood vine roots as he charged toward the plant-man army guarding the mountain pass!
Like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, any plant-man below Diamond rank near Jiangnan was taken down in one move!
His incredible mobility and terrifying combat awareness turned Jiangnan into a merciless killing machine, trying to break through the line!
Just then, Jiangnan sensed a fierce wind from the side!
A Diamond-ranked metal-attribute warrior had his entire arm turned into a long blade, swinging it at Jiangnan!
Jiangnan raised his halberd to block, but then he suddenly realized his arm was frozen!
Looking down, he saw that the joint of his arm had turned woody!
The energy from the Vine Marrow had accumulated in his body too much, even starting to change his body structure!
Damn!
Was he going to turn into a wooden man?
The blade fell, and Jiangnan was sent flying. The wound on his shoulder didn't even bleed!
Lying on the ground, Jiangnan struggled for a long time but couldn't get up!
His body was getting stiffer!
"Hurry! Kill him! This guy can't move anymore! He's slowed down!"
"Chop his head off! Dismember him! He killed so many of our people—he can't be allowed to live!"
Xiang Zhi's face was full of malice!
(ꐦง°᷄益°᷅)ง "Move aside! Let me do it!"
"Taking away my right to be human? As a deadly poison ability user, getting poisoned by someone else? This is an absolute disgrace!"
"Watch me melt your bones and dissolve your flesh! Let you experience the ultimate pain of this world!"
"Death's Caress!"
She charged straight at Jiangnan, hatred burning in her eyes!
The plant-men's eyes lit up with excitement!
"Ohohoho? Sister Xiang Zhi is using her ultimate move? This move is brutal!"
"Yeah, I've seen it before. I hear even a Dao Heaven would have their flesh rot and bones dissolve if touched by it. Eeek—I dare not watch!"
Jiangnan's pupils contracted sharply!
Another Star Glory? Death Fart?
Weren't you supposed to be dealing with personal matters? Why are you back on the battlefield?
Does the Brahma Society have to be this dedicated?
Jiangnan tried to move, but his body was too stiff, with many parts already wooden!
The Vine Marrow was good stuff, but it really wasn't meant to be drunk carelessly!
He was in trouble now!
If he didn't find a way to vent the excess energy, he'd really become a wooden man!
One wrong move and he'd die here!
Want to kill me?
Did you ask if Jiang the Chosen One agrees?
Cornered, Jiangnan pulled out a Lucky Little Cherry and stuffed it into his mouth!
Let's see who can kill me!
For this half hour, I, Jiangnan, am the son of the universe!
Just as Jiangnan ate the cherry, Xiang Zhi straddled him!
"I want to watch your death up close, enjoy the withering of life! Only this can soothe the hatred in my heart!"
Chen Xi in the distance ran madly toward Jiangnan, despair in her eyes: "No! Don't kill him!"
Xiang Zhi's hands landed directly on Jiangnan's cheeks, gently stroking them!
(･᷄ὢ･᷅)٩(ᵒ̌益ᵒ̌٩๐)
Jiangnan lay on the ground nonchalantly, even crossing his legs and wiggling his feet!
"Your hands are a bit cold, you know~"
Xiang Zhi: Σ(๑ᵒ̌⌂ᵒ̌) ???
Why didn't they rot?
Shouldn't his face have corroded instantly, melting bones and flesh?
What the hell does "your hands are a bit cold" mean? I didn't ask for your touch review!
And why was Jiangnan's face so hot?
She didn't believe it and rubbed Jiangnan's cheeks again, but still nothing happened!
Xiang Zhi was dumbfounded, rubbing Jiangnan's face frantically with both hands, even deforming his cheeks!
Jiangnan pouted: "I know my handsomeness has been praised by nine hundred million beauties, but do you really need to touch me this much?"
Xiang Zhi panicked: "This is Death's Caress! Why isn't it working? Why aren't you dying?"
Jiangnan shrugged: "Maybe the Grim Reaper didn't come to work today?"
