The Ability to Get Something for Nothing

"Yanran"

When Xiao Yan saw the blue-faced man being captured in the sky, he couldn't stand it any longer. He had to get a clue to rescue Na Lan Yan Ran.

The other elders in the family also happened to witness this scene. The person who kidnapped Na Lan Yan Ran was simply too powerful, and with their meager strength, they were completely helpless.

"My granddaughter!" Nalan Jie's head was throbbing with pain. He couldn't understand why his Nalan Family had offended such a being.

"Grandpa Nalan, don't panic, I will definitely rescue Yanran." Xiao Yan hurriedly comforted Nalan Jie, intending to return to the Starfall Pavilion use its power to find out the force behind the kidnapping.

Just then, a junior member of the Nalan Family suddenly put down his phone and rushed over.

"Elder Clan Leader, Yanran's Live Stream Room suddenly opened."

"What?"

Everyone picked up the phone in surprise and took a closer look. They saw that Na Lan Yan Ran in the video was not nervous at all. Instead, she was live-streaming and greeting the viewers in front of the camera.

Na Lan Yan Ran: "Everyone, take a look. This is the Northern Region of the Dou Qi Continent. I am currently in the city of a Hidden Family. The name of this city is Ice Seal City."

As soon as the live stream started, all the members of the Nalan Family knew her exact location. However, Na Lan Yan Ran was interrupted by Leng Ao Han before she could finish the live stream.

"The Northern Region, the Ice Seal City?"

This was the first time the Nalan Family had heard of this city, but when they heard Na Lan Yan Ran say that there was Dou Di expert in Ice Seal City, they instantly despaired.

Dou Di expert!

That being stands at the top of the food chain on the Dou Qi Continent; it seems their hopes of rescuing Na Lan Yan Ran are now slim.

"Dou Di powerhouse?" Xiao Yan clenched his fist, not intimidated by those four words at all. Even if he were the ruler of the Dou Qi Continent, he would not be afraid of him.

Nalan Jie snorted coldly and said, "I may not be able to defeat these people, but I will never back down. Nalan Family members, let's go together to that Ice City in the Northern Region and rescue Yanran."

This old man was incredibly stubborn, displaying the spirit of a honey badger, immediately gathering the family's strongest members and setting off, ignoring Xiao Yan's attempts to persuade him.

The group left the Jia Ma Empire and looked at the boundless sea, feeling troubled. To reach the Northern Region, they would need a ship!

Time was running out, and they were at a loss as to where to find a boat.

Xiao Yan had intended to persuade Nalan Jie to go home quickly and wait for news, but he saw a large fleet of ships suddenly appear on the sea not far away. These ships were brightly lit, and each mast was flying a pirate flag. They were all pirate ships.

A large number of pirate ships tightly surrounded a small boat with a lion sculpture at the front, and a flag with a straw hat and skull was also hanging on the mast of that small boat.

As soon as Xiao Yan saw the flag, he immediately knew who was coming.

Brother Xiao Yan

On the small boat, Luffy, wearing a straw hat, suddenly stretched out his rubber arm, which stretched out to be a hundred meters long. He grabbed Xiao Yan's shoulder with that hand and then used the elasticity of the rubber to climb ashore.

"Luffy, what are you doing here?" Xiao Yan was startled at first, then quickly said, "It's perfect that you're here. Do me a favor, I need to go to the Northern Region."

One by one, members of the Nalan Family boarded the pirate ship and embarked on an adventure to the Northern Region.

"So this is the Ice Seal City! It's truly magnificent and a thousand times more grand than Gama's imperial city."

As soon as Na Lan Yan Ran landed, she was captivated by the city scenery a hundred meters away. Although this city was not as magnificent as her Lingxiao Heavenly Palace City, it was still a top-tier building that was unique in the Dou Qi Continent.

The city walls are built of ice, which contains a powerful Dou Qi spirit that is difficult to melt even in summer.

Looking from a distance, the entire city appears to be sealed in ice. If the sun shines brightly on the ice at midday, the city will emit a colorful and fantastical glow.

Before one even enters the city, the ground beneath one's feet is already paved with thick, finely polished steel stones, making it very flat underfoot. This wide road stretches for a kilometer.

The city's buildings were dazzling, and many powerful cultivators roamed around. Even Dou Zong experts set up stalls in the city, demonstrating just how strong the city's foundation was.

"My father, Leng Tong, is the Clan Leader of the Ice Clan and the city lord of this city. Since my father advanced to the Dou Di, this city has officially opened to the public."

"Now, many sects and major merchant guilds from the Dou Qi Continent have settled in Ice Seal City. Even the Six Great Ancient Clans Medicine, Stone, Spirit, Ancient Thunder, and Flame have conducted considerable trade with Ice Seal City."

Leng Ao Han stood beside Na Lan Yan Ran and began to introduce her with considerable pride.

"I didn't realize you were a rich kid," Na Lan Yan Ran said with a smile.

Leng Ao Han didn't understand what "rich second generation" meant, but he solemnly said to Na Lan Yan Ran, "After we get married next month, you will be the young city lord's wife of Ice Seal City, and everything here will be yours."

Na Lan Yan Ran almost fell to the ground; this Leng Ao Han was probably being too wishful.

"Brother Aohan, you're back!" A pretty girl with delicate features flew towards them. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, similar in age to Na Lan Yan Ran. Her strength was not to be underestimated; she had already reached the level of Dou Zun. As soon as she saw Leng Ao Han return to the city, she excitedly clung to him.

"So it's An'er!" Leng Ao Han greeted the woman and then introduced her to Na Lan Yan Ran, "This is my cousin, An'er."

The woman called An'er looked at Na Lan Yan Ran with hostility in her eyes.

I'd heard long ago that Leng Ao Han was going to bring the woman who saved him back to the city and marry her. I never expected he'd actually bring her today.

She and Leng Ao Han Aohan had been childhood sweethearts, and now that Leng Ao Han wanted to marry this commoner woman, she was naturally unhappy.

"Oh," Na Lan Yan Ran didn't seem to mind the girl's subtle glances, and politely nodded, "Hello, Sister An'er, my name is Na Lan Yan Ran."

"Shut up!" the woman suddenly shouted angrily at Na Lan Yan Ran, saying, "How dare you, a perfectly healthy piece of trash, call someone like An'er? A commoner like you, do you even deserve to marry Brother Aohan? That's just wishful thinking, a pipe dream. Don't you even take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? What are you anyway, trash?"

A torrent of incoherent curses poured from the woman's mouth, completely ruining her initial impression of others.

Leng Ao Han immediately covered up the woman's incessant swearing and gave her an angry look, warning her to tone it down.

"Shut up your father, try to suffocate me and make you two dogs have your way!" The woman angrily slapped Leng Ao Han's hand away.

She and Leng Ao Han were clearly childhood sweethearts, so why did Na Lan Yan Ran suddenly appear in their lives? It's obviously fate's arrangement.

Na Lan Yan Ran wasn't angry. She asked curiously, "Since you won't let me call you An'er, then at least tell me what your full name is?"

"Hmph, you pathetic idiot, you want to know my name too?" The woman raised her chin and said loudly, "Considering your ignorance and low intelligence, I'll take pity on you today and tell you my name. My surname is Zu, and my given name is An'er. Next time you see me, use your dog brain to think whether your appearance has offended my eyes."

Na Lan Yan Ran then realized why Leng Ao Han had such a beautiful cousin, whom he had grown up with, yet he had never felt anything for her.

After some pushing and shoving, Leng Ao Han finally got rid of his cousin and let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had survived a disaster.

"Your cousin is quite interesting," Na Lan Yan Ran said.

"I'm sorry you had to see this," Leng Ao Han an awkward smile, and led Na Lan Yan Ran back to her family.

Enraged, Zu An'er chanted the Rebirth Mantra on the spot, performing a ritual to help all of Na Lan Yan Ran's surviving family members pass on to the afterlife.

"No, I have to keep an eye on this woman and see who she is. It would be best if I could ruin their marriage. I can't let Brother Aohan marry her." After setting her goal, Zu An'er quietly followed.

Na Lan Yan Ran stayed in Ice Seal City for two days and quietly learned a bit about the Ice Clan, Ancient Families. The family's foundation was not much different from that of the Ancient Clan. Now, some of them had even advanced to the Dou Di, activating the bloodlines in many of their clansmen. There were nearly thirty Dou Sheng Expert.

Feeling a bit bored these past two days, she decided to go out for a walk. Leng Ao Han, however, was somewhat afraid she would run away, so he sent two Dou Zun servants to accompany her out of the clan.

"Huh, is someone watching me?"

As she walked, Na Lan Yan Ran suddenly sensed something was amiss. She mobilized her soul power and spread it outwards, finally discovering Zu An'er's whereabouts. It turned out that Zu An'er had been following her all along.

Na Lan Yan Ran's lips curled slightly as she came up with a brilliant idea. She changed her route and arrived at a restaurant in the city.

This restaurant is the most famous and best place in Ice Seal City. The food is not only delicious, but also very expensive, making it unaffordable for ordinary people. Moreover, since it was opened by the Yan Clan, no one dares to dine and dash here.

But today was different. After Na Lan Yan Ran went in today, she ate until she was stuffed, burping repeatedly, and then strode away without paying a single penny. The restaurant owner didn't even glance at her.

For three consecutive days, Na Lan Yan Ran not only ate and drank for free at the restaurant, but she also took whatever she wanted from the street stalls without any regard for anything else. Some shop owners and stall owners simply ignored Na Lan Yan Ran's behavior.

This surprised Zu An'er greatly. Leng Ao Han hadn't revealed that Na Lan Yan Ran was his fiancée, so why was Na Lan Yan Ran allowed to take whatever she wanted from all the shops, restaurants, and street stalls in the city?

Does she have the ability to reap without sowing?
