Chapter 63: Evil Soul Master Xu Sanshi? Threatening Jiang Nannan

Previously, Jiang Nannan never felt this way toward Xu Sanshi.

She didn't understand his intentions, but he hadn't tried to possess her outright.

Recently, however—especially after Xu Sanshi was hospitalized by Qian Ran—he seemed like a completely different person. His gaze was now filled with a sinister desire. It wasn't the gaze of a man admiring a woman, but more like a predator eyeing prey.

She felt helpless, so lately, she tried to stay close to Tang Ya to avoid any unwanted encounters when she was alone.

"Why is it you two again?"

Since the last incident, Tang Ya hadn't shown any kindness to either Bei Bei or Xu Sanshi. In fact, she was now openly disgusted with both of them.

"Why not? I'm just here for my Nannan." Xu Sanshi's eyes roamed over Jiang Nannan's alluring figure, and a dark desire surged in him. Ever since he'd absorbed the energy from that crystal, his power had increased rapidly. The intoxicating thrill of this power surge had become addictive, and now he couldn't live without it.

As his power surged, so did the darkness in his heart. And with it, his possessive desires toward Jiang Nannan intensified.

He no longer wanted to keep playing games with her.

He was itching to see Jiang Nannan, Shrek Academy's top beauty, look humbled before him, perhaps even reduced to acting like a pet.

Jiang Nannan had always looked down on him, so he'd make sure she understood exactly what she was worth.

"What do you want?" Tang Ya positioned herself protectively in front of Jiang Nannan.

"What do I want? Good question. But it's none of your business. This is between Nannan and me, isn't it, Nannan?" Xu Sanshi sneered.

At his words, Jiang Nannan's face turned pale.

"What do you want?" Tang Ya's strength had now surpassed Xu Sanshi's, so she wasn't afraid of him.

"What does a man want from a woman? Even if you're now Yan Shaozhe's disciple, it changes nothing. Jiang Nannan is my personal property, and I'll do as I please with her." Xu Sanshi's eyes fixated on Jiang Nannan's beautiful figure.

Dressed in tight, white pants, Jiang Nannan's curvaceous form, her round hips, and her long, slender legs were all incredibly alluring.

Jiang Nannan was recognized as the top beauty in the outer court. Even though Tang Ya was popular, Jiang Nannan's beauty was widely acknowledged.

"Nannan, what's going on?"

Hearing Xu Sanshi's despicable words, Tang Ya was furious. Personal property? Referring to Nannan in such a way was infuriating. Nannan was a person, yet Xu Sanshi treated her as a mere object.

"Xiao Ya, don't ask. There's nothing you can do about it."

Jiang Nannan had given up hope.

She couldn't understand why Xu Sanshi had changed so drastically.

In the past, Xu Sanshi, despite his desire for her, never acted this way.

Xu Sanshi, the eldest young master of the Xu Clan, was never short of women. While he did want to possess her, it was because her talent was high, and he wanted her as his ally.

"Nannan, tonight at midnight, meet me at the school field. Come alone, and don't think about running. Think about your mother in the Xu Clan."

"Your mother, although older, still looks beautiful. She has a dignified grace despite her frail health. Even I sometimes can't help but have dark thoughts about her, let alone my cousins. They've been asking me, but I've refused them," Xu Sanshi whispered close to Jiang Nannan's ear.

Jiang Nannan's mother wasn't that old—barely in her thirties.

Beautiful, fragile, and of low status, she had attracted many unwanted attentions.

But Xu Sanshi knew that if something happened to Jiang Nannan's mother, he would lose control over her entirely. Otherwise, he himself would find it hard to resist the allure of such a mature beauty.

Jiang Nannan's mother was the only leverage he had over her, and he wanted her safe.

However, things had changed now.

Xu Sanshi had come to a realization. Instead of wasting time trying to win Jiang Nannan's heart, it was easier to control her by threatening the person she cared for most.

She would resent him and might even turn against him one day.

But with his rapidly increasing power, he no longer worried about Jiang Nannan's growth being a threat.

In all honesty, if it weren't for Jiang Nannan's strength, Xu Sanshi would have used other means to subdue her long ago. Jiang Nannan was talented, and she'd likely become a Titled Douluo in the future. If a Titled Douluo held a grudge, it would cause endless trouble. And her mother—a frail woman—who knew how much longer she'd live? If she died, what would Jiang Nannan do to him?

Ever since his power increased, all his worries had vanished.

Jiang Nannan would never escape his grasp.

She would forever be his finely crafted pet, with no hope of resisting him.

"You're shameless!"

Jiang Nannan's heart burned with hatred, and she wished she could kill Xu Sanshi. But thoughts of her mother brought tears to her eyes. She had once believed Xu Sanshi would help her, only to find that her trust had led her and her mother into despair.

"Shameless? Maybe. But you know what happens if you resist."

"My cousins are as ruthless as wolves. Without my oversight, they're capable of anything. And trust me, she won't end up in a place as respectable as you might hope. She'd be placed in the hands of our Xu Clan's expert trainers," Xu Sanshi continued sinisterly.

The Xu family, known for their soul power abilities, required a pure partner to unlock their full potential, so they had a certain expertise in such matters.

"Fine. But you must ensure her safety. Otherwise, I'd rather die than let you have your way." Tears filled Jiang Nannan's eyes. She knew Xu Sanshi's threats. If her mother fell into those hands, her life would be worse than death.

Xu Sanshi's threat was vile, but it was effective. Jiang Nannan had no way to resist, nor did she know what to do.
