"Heh heh... Zi Yan, I admire your fearless attitude, but I'm still inside Canaan Academy. Are you trying to provoke me into destroying Canaan Academy by putting on this act?"
Hun Changqing threatened in a sinister tone.
"You! You're despicable!"
Upon hearing Hun Changqing's words, Zi Yan's cold expression instantly crumbled. Her face flushed red with anger, and she clenched her teeth, making a series of "crunching" sounds.
What kind of person is this! He threatened her like that just now and wouldn't even allow her to show him any disrespect. How despicable!
Seeing Zi Yan's vulnerable state, Hun Changqing revealed a wicked smile. His greatest pleasure was shattering the cold, indifferent expressions on others' faces,
meticulously crushing their pride and dignity, dragging them from their pristine world into the mire, and defiling their pure, innocent selves with filth. Wasn't that fascinating?
Gu Xun'er, Yao Ye Yao Yue, and Medusa were all well aware of Hun Changqing's perverse pleasure, though they didn't dwell on it afterward.
Undeniably, the first time Hun Changqing had used his methods on them, it inevitably left a deep scar. At that time, Hun Changqing truly seemed like the most evil demon in hell to them.
Only Ya Fei, a woman who had suddenly felt like having a serious relationship and reminiscing about her beautiful past life, had never witnessed Hun Changqing's terrifying side. Undeniably, she was extremely lucky.
"Hehehe..."
Hun Changqing chuckled sinisterly, then stopped teasing the already vulnerable Zi Yan. He reached out and grabbed Zi Yan by the back of her neck, lifting her up like a little chick.
Zi Yan had never been treated like this before. Feeling her shameful posture, her cheeks flushed even more. She grimaced, her hands and feet flailing wildly as she shouted,
"Bastard! You shameless! Despicable villain! Bad guy! Let me go!"
"Hehehe..."
Hun Changqing ignored the frantic Zi Yan. He circulated his true energy, and evil black mist surged from his body, enveloping him. Then, Hun Changqing disappeared from the stone chamber.
Only Su Qian remained, his face filled with grief and indignation, his heart breaking.
"Ugh!"
With Hun Changqing gone, Su Qian finally couldn't hold back any longer, and a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth. He had experienced too much today.
The students suffering heavy casualties, the Meteorite Heartflame bursting from the broken tower, and the kidnapped Zi Yan—
each event struck him like a hammer blow, making it difficult for him to breathe.
The resentment in Su Qian's heart had reached its peak; blood surged in his chest, rising to his throat, and he coughed up mouthfuls of blood.
With each spurt of blood, Su Qian's aura waned to its lowest point, his once jet-black hair now a staggering white, making him appear terrifying, like a vengeful ghost.
...
"Bang!"
Hun Changqing, having quickly returned to Maple City, threw Zi Yan to the ground as soon as he entered his attic. "Ouch!"
Zi Yan instinctively cried out as she landed on her bottom, then got up and rubbed her backside.
Although her Void Ancient Dragon body felt no pain from the fall, she still instinctively did so.
Then, her two large, obsidian-like eyes widened, staring fiercely at Hun Changqing, and she said fiercely,
"Bastard! Now you can tell me, what are you going to do with me! Kill me or torture me, just give me a quick death!"
Hun Changqing ignored Zi Yan's questioning and instead took out another pill from his storage ring and threw it to her.
Zi Yan's eyes lit up instantly upon seeing the pill, and she became excited. Ignoring whether there was anything wrong with the pill, she grabbed it and quickly stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it.
Anyway, she felt that falling into Hun Changqing's hands was worse than death, so she might as well have a good meal before she died. The taste of that pill was still unforgettable, even for her now that she was in deep danger.
"When did I say I would kill you? I said I would take you as my disciple, and I meant it. With your talent, it would be a waste to keep you cooped up in that small place. What I did just now was only to sever your ties with that small school. There is no place for a true dragon like you there."
Hun Changqing squatted down beside Zi Yan, extending his perfectly flawless white fingers to play with Zi Yan's long, slender, and soft light purple hair.
Upon hearing Hun Changqing's words, Zi Yan paused in her chewing, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
She had already prepared herself for her final meal, but Hun Changqing's words had shaken her resolve. Although she was prepared to die, who would want to die if they could live?
"I can see that you're somewhat tempted by the conditions I told you before, but you can't let go of Su Qian. So, I'll just help you out. Although I took you away by threatening means, did I end up harming Canaan Academy or Su Qian?
And since you were forcibly taken away from Canaan Academy, you don't need to feel guilty like you did when you left Canaan Academy on your own because you wanted to grow up. Su Qian will only be sad for you for a while at most. In the future, he will still be the revered principal of Canaan Academy. Your departure won't really have much impact on him."
Hun Changqing gently stroked Zi Yan's head, trying his best to appear as if he was doing it all for her own good.
Zi Yan felt the soft, cold touch on her head from Hun Changqing's hand, a stark contrast to the warm, firm touch Su Qian had given her, which stirred a strange feeling within her.
A blush crept onto her delicate, sculpted face, and she couldn't help but feel that Hun Changqing's words seemed to hold some truth. Indeed, aside from startling them, Hun Changqing hadn't caused them any real harm, and she began to believe him to some extent.
The fear and resentment in Zi Yan's eyes subsided considerably as she looked at Hun Changqing.
"Gulp,"
Zi Yan swallowed the chewed pill, sticking out her pink tongue to lick her cherry-like lips.
"You really want to take me as your disciple? Or do you just want to study my true form, do some strange things, and then kill me after you're done?"
Zi Yan pursed her rosy lips, then asked Hun Changqing with a hint of doubt.
"If I wanted to study your true form, I would have just captured you. Why bother with all this fuss, wasting my breath threatening you and giving you pills?"
Hun Changqing retorted with a playful smile.
