# Chapter 834: Bought a Lesson?
Jiangnan curled his lip: "Then how much do you have?"
Chen Lang felt deeply aggrieved, unable to figure out why his Spirit Veil had failed.
And what the hell was Vajra Finger?
Could it also be some kind of spiritual technique?
Otherwise, he definitely would have had the upper hand!
"At the moment, I can only scrape together a little over two hundred million in liquid assets. That's all I've got!"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: "I thought I'd found a sugar daddy, but this is all the pocket change you have?"
"Fine, fine. Even a mosquito leg is still meat, right?"
Chen Lang coughed up a mouthful of blood!
Over two hundred million is still a mosquito leg?
What kind of mosquito is that?
But with the small stool hanging over his head, no matter how furious Chen Lang was, he had to bottle it up!
Inside, he sneered coldly. Go ahead and be smug. The day will come when you cry!
My people have already set their sights on you!
However much you've taken, we'll make you spit it out tenfold!
With that, he gestured for Chen Peng to hand over his phone, ready to transfer the money.
Jiangnan raised a hand: "Hold on! I can't just take your money for nothing."
"I'm a man of principles too!"
As he spoke, he pulled out his vendor cloth and spread it on the ground, plopping down onto the small stool.
At this moment, not only was Chen Lang baffled, even Luo Lan and Yu Qiao were stunned.
What was he doing?
Setting up a... stall?
Did extortion now require this much ceremony?
Do you have to be this formal about it?!
Jiangnan held out his payment QR code: (⸝⸝•‧̫•⸝⸝)
"You're giving me so much money, I feel kind of bad about it."
"How about this? Treat it like doing business with me. You give me money, and I sell you something, okay?"
Chen Lang: (#)•̌ࡇ•̑(#)ˀ̣ˀ̣
You're robbing me blind!
And you feel bad? You're being a bitch and still want to put up a chastity arch?
What's with the shy act?! If you feel bad, why are you robbing me?
Was he trying to make this legal?
This baffling move turned Chen Lang's face black as coal.
"Fine, fine! Whatever you say!"
He scanned the code and transferred 230 million to Jiangnan.
Jiangnan was overjoyed: "Hope you're satisfied with your purchase! Welcome back anytime!"
Chen Lang: (￢益￢(#)
Satisfied my ass! I never want there to be a next time!
Jiangnan reached into his pocket with his little hand and held it out to Chen Lang.
(๐･᷅ὢ･᷄)つ: "Here, dear customer. Please accept the product you purchased today!"
Chen Lang was stunned. He actually gives something?
He couldn't help but get curious. What did he buy for 230 million?
"What... what is it?"
Jiangnan opened his palm: "Here, take it!"
Chen Lang's face darkened even more, because there was absolutely nothing in Jiangnan's hand!
Completely empty!
"Are you messing with me? Is this fun? Your hand is empty!"
Jiangnan looked surprised: "I'm not messing with you! Can't you see? Get closer and look!"
Chen Lang grew suspicious. Could there really be something? He leaned in close to Jiangnan's palm, concentrating hard.
Jiangnan raised his hand and slapped Chen Lang twice across the face.
(･᷄ὢ･᷅)ﾉ(#)꒪3꒪).`. Smack!
.`.(꒪ε꒪(#)٩(･᷄ὢ･᷅) Smack!
The blows made Chen Lang's head ring, and all his white teeth fell out!
He covered his face and roared: (づಥ益ಥど)
"What are you hitting me for? I already gave you the money! Did I spend 230 million on two slaps?!"
Jiangnan: "Nonsense!"
(๑°᷄ٹ°᷅) "Isn't this buying you a lesson?"
[Resentment from Chen Lang: +1000!]
Aaaah!
Freaking bought a lesson!
The most regrettable thing I've ever done in my life was trusting Jiangnan's evil!
This lesson was truly "unforgettable as long as teeth remain" — now he had no teeth left!
Yu Qiao and Luo Lan burst out laughing!
Boss Nan Shen was too wicked!
The guy paid him and still got slapped twice.
Chen Lang was boiling with rage, but when he saw the small stool under Jiangnan's butt, he held back his urge to fight.
"Can I go now?"
Jiangnan blinked: "Go? Go where?"
Chen Lang fumed: "I already paid you! Didn't you promise to let me go?!"
Jiangnan said flatly: "I never said I'd let you go, did I?"
Chen Lang: (#)ఠ益ఠ)و "Jiangnan! You're going too far!"
[Resentment from Chen Lang...]
He couldn't hold back anymore and made a move, but the result was naturally Jiangnan pinning him to the ground and pounding him with the stool.
"You can leave if you want, but hand over the training method for that Spirit Veil, and I'll let you go."
But Chen Lang, his face covered in blood, laughed like he'd heard the funniest joke in the world.
He looked at Jiangnan like he was an idiot.
"You're so happy you've got snot bubbles coming out of your nose? You want to learn my Chen family's spiritual technique?"
"That's the inheritance passed down from our ancestors! Even if you beat me to death, I won't tell you!"
"Spiritual arts aren't taught to outsiders! You want to learn? Hahaha, what a joke!"
Jiangnan curled his lip: "Don't blow smoke up my ass! The spiritual energy revival has only been around for a little over twenty years! What inheritance?"
"Stop your nonsense!"
Chen Lang sneered: "A little over twenty years? What do you know?"
"You think this is the first time spiritual energy has revived on Blue Star?"
"Do you really think everything in the historical records is true? Frog at the bottom of a well!"
Jiangnan's mind went blank for a moment. He was deeply shocked.
What did that mean?
This wasn't the first spiritual energy revival in Blue Star's history?
Hundreds or even thousands of years ago, did Ling Xu and spirit beasts appear on Blue Star too?
This Spirit Veil of the Chen family was a technique their people developed during the last revival?
And it had been passed down until today?
Holy crap!
This was the first time Jiangnan had heard such a secret!
But if spiritual energy had revived in ancient times, why did the Ling Xu and spiritual energy disappear later?
Jiangnan was completely baffled.
Seeing that he had shocked Jiangnan, Chen Lang sneered.
"Now do you understand the depth of my Chen family?"
"And you call yourselves Pioneers? Leading the entire era forward? What a joke! We're already ahead of you at the starting line!"
Jiangnan raised the stool and slammed it down.
"You're so proud just because you're riding on your ancestors' coattails?"
"Are you going to tell me the Spirit Veil training method or not?"
Chen Lang was unusually stubborn: "You want me to talk? Even if the sun rises in the west, it's not happening!"
Jiangnan's eyes widened: "Oh? You've got some backbone, huh?"
He pulled out a bottle of Large Green Stick, popped the cap, and forced it down Chen Lang's throat.
Chen Lang coughed and sputtered, a bit confused. Why was he feeding him alcohol?
Hey? Why didn't it hurt anymore?
It even had a pain-relieving effect? Was Jiangnan being kind?
Before he could figure it out, Jiangnan smashed the Large Green Stick over Chen Lang's head.
Then he teleported out of the cage.
By the time Chen Lang came to his senses, Jiangnan was standing outside with his hands behind his back, smiling at him.
"Let me out! I would rather die than betray the Chen family!"
Jiangnan showed a tender (evil) smile.
(๑͡°ٹ͡°) "That's because you've never seen real hell!"
He opened a Space Wormhole and tossed a Diamond Giant Durian into the cage.
The next moment, the Diamond Durian exploded.
Countless diamond spikes mixed with golden durian pulp splattered all over the cage, turning Chen Lang into a little yellow man.
Thick white smoke billowed, filling the cage with fragrance.
Chen Lang: (ʘ̆ཀʘ̥̆‖)՞ Blech~
"Bleh—"
He was immediately nauseated by the stench, kneeling on the ground and retching.
He wasn't in pain, but it stank!
[Resentment from Chen Lang: +1001!]
[From...]
"What the hell is this?! You threw shit at me! I'll kill you! Aaaah!"
Chen Lang was driven mad by the stench, rolling his eyes and frantically pounding on the spatial barrier.
Cracks spread across the barrier, but Jiangnan immediately repaired them.
Jiangnan grinned brightly: "Next, I'll throw one in every three seconds until you start talking!"
He tossed another durian in.
"Boom!"
Chen Lang: Σ_(꒪ཀ꒪」∠) Bleh!
"Demon! You're a demon! Just kill me! I'll ~%?…;#*!"
[From...]
Chen Lang was going insane from the stench, lying on the ground with his eyes rolling back, foaming at the mouth.
No one could resist the stench of durian, especially since this was Chen Lang's first experience.
The air in the cage didn't circulate, so the white smoke grew thicker until you couldn't see clearly.
Three minutes later, Chen Lang was leaning against the spatial barrier with both hands, eyes bloodshot.
ฅ(͡ʘཀ͡ʘ)ฅ
"I'll talk! I'll talk! Stop throwing them in! This is hell! Bleh—"
Jiangnan grinned and pulled out his little notebook to take notes.
Chen Peng on the side got anxious: "Brother Lang! You can't tell him! Can't you endure this little torture?"
"Are you still a man of iron bones from the Chen family?"
Chen Lang roared: "Easy for you to say, you're not the one getting stunk! You come in and try! Bleh—"
He then spilled everything about the Spirit Veil training method.
Jiangnan's hand was a blur as he wrote in his notebook, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Chen Lang had drunk the Large Green Stick, so there was no way he could lie.
"Keep going! What are you thinking about?"
Chen Lang collapsed on the ground, hollow-eyed, looking like he was broken.
"That's all I know. The family hasn't shown me the rest yet!"
Chen Peng was frantic: "How could you really tell him?! If the family finds out an outsider learned the Spirit Veil, we're finished!"
Chen Lang gritted his teeth: "Bulls**t! Do you think it's that easy to learn?"
"It took me six years to reach this level, and that was with guidance from my elders!"
"So what if Jiangnan knows? Can he actually learn it?"
Jiangnan: (･᷄ὢ･᷅) Huh? Is it that hard?
Chen Lang sneered: "What do you think? Now let me out!"
