"Brother Tang Qing..."
Xiao Wu called out sweetly in a voice that was soothing to the bone. Her voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to make any man in the quiet room's heart flutter.
"Xiao Wu's chest hurts so much, and her whole body aches. Can you blow on it for her?"
As she spoke, she struggled to prop herself up, deliberately pulling her torn collar even lower to reveal large expanses of snow-white skin and a deep cleavage.
Those long, straight, and incredibly beautiful legs, truly a weapon of mass destruction.
It was curled up at an extremely alluring angle, gleaming like ivory in the dim candlelight.
Any normal man, upon seeing such a vibrant and sensual scene, would probably be aroused and unable to control himself.
Seeing that Tang Qing was just watching her quietly and did not make any immediate move, Xiao Wu's eyes became even more alluring.
She assumed the other person was just being coy.
Men are all the same.
She chuckled inwardly, then flipped her hand, revealing several items in her palm.
A metal choker inlaid with tiny bells, and a few pieces of lace underwear that were as thin as cicada wings and had very little fabric.
These were all her "secret weapons" that she had specially prepared for today.
"Brother Tang Qing, look..."
She held up those things, her voice growing sweeter.
"As long as you like it, Xiao Wu... I can do anything for you."
"..."
However, the man's urgent breathing and the figure rushing towards her that she had anticipated did not appear.
The quiet room remained deathly silent.
The playful smile on Tang Qing's face had vanished without a trace.
Instead, there is indifference.
He finally spoke, his voice flat and devoid of any emotion.
"You bitch, stop acting."
Those few simple words were like a bucket of snow water poured over Xiao Wu's head, instantly freezing the charming smile on her face.
"What...what did you say?"
Tang Qing ignored her astonishment.
"Do you really think I can't see through your petty, despicable schemes?"
"So that you can sow discord between me and the Crown Prince of Tiandou, and benefit from it?"
"You rabbit, you're not stupid after all."
boom!
Every word Tang Qing said was like a heavy hammer blow, striking Xiao Wu's heart hard.
The color drained from her face instantly, leaving only a deathly pallor.
Shock, fear, confusion... a mix of emotions left her mind in chaos.
How could that be?
How could this man have read my mind?!
Just now... wasn't he just confronting Xue Qinghe for my sake?
Wasn't he bewitched by my beauty?
Why...
Tang Qing looked at her distraught appearance and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.
"A 100,000-year-old soul beast, reborn and transformed."
"He should have been a chosen one of heaven, possessing a mindset and wisdom far exceeding that of ordinary people."
"But what about you?"
Tang Qing slowly stepped forward, looking down at her with eyes full of disappointment and disdain.
"Besides relying on your good looks to flaunt your charms and cause trouble, what else can you do?"
"They spend their days indulging in play and pleasure, without any ambition or drive."
"He keeps saying he wants to avenge your mother and go after Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall."
"But what did you do?"
"Your strength, your schemes, none of them are worthy of your hatred."
"With your pathetic skills and these despicable methods of seducing men?"
Every word is piercing to the heart.
Xiao Wu's body trembled violently. She raised her head, her bloodshot eyes staring intently at Tang Qing.
"I don't!"
She retorted in a shrill voice.
"I have been diligently cultivating! I..."
"effort?"
Tang Qing scoffed, interrupting her weak and feeble explanation.
"Should I try my best to be the leader of the kids at Notting Academy? Or should I try my best to seduce that good-for-nothing Tang San?"
"Your so-called revenge is just placing your hopes on a man?"
"Xiao Wu, you are truly... pathetic and laughable."
"No...no..."
Xiao Wu shook her head desperately, tears streaming down her face like broken beads.
Tang Qing's words stripped away all her pretense, revealing the harsh reality she least wanted to face.
yes.
What have I actually done all these years?
Aside from playing, he spent his time eating and drinking with Tang San.
revenge...
Those two words seem to have become a distant and vague slogan.
"No...that's not it...that's not how it is at all!"
She cried out, her emotions completely collapsing.
A tremendous fear gripped her heart, and she finally realized that the man before her was not someone she could control.
From the very beginning, I was completely manipulated by him.
With a "plop".
Xiao Wu could no longer care about dignity. Her knees buckled, and she knelt heavily on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly in Tang Qing's direction.
"I was wrong... Your Highness, the Blue Silver King, I was really wrong!"
"Please, please, please let me go!"
"I'll never do it again! I'll never do it again!"
She cried her heart out, her beautiful face streaked with tears and despair.
However, Tang Qing just looked on expressionlessly.
Let you go?
How could that be?
A 100,000-year-old soul beast that comes to you willingly, with its complete soul ring and soul bone, is a priceless treasure.
Are you going to go back and become Tang San's cheat code?
Tang Qing sneered inwardly.
Let's keep these soul bones and soul rings until someone breaks through to the Title Douluo level.
...
at the same time.
Outside Tiandou City, the stronghold of the Power Clan.
Inside a council hall built of massive stones, the atmosphere was so heavy it was almost palpable.
In the center of the hall, four figures sat on the four sides, each emanating a powerful fluctuation of soul power.
He was the former sect leader of the four affiliated sects of the Haotian Sect.
Titan, the patriarch of the Power Clan.
Niu Gao, the patriarch of the Yu clan.
Chief of the Speed Clan, the Swift-tailed White Crane.
And, the patriarch of the Po clan, Yang Wudi, the "Soul-Breaking Spear".
"well..."
A heavy sigh broke the silence in the hall.
The smallest of the cranes, with its furrowed brows and worried expression, had a face full of anxiety.
"Gentlemen, things are probably not going well."
"News from my clan members says that the newly crowned Blue Silver King's army is being frequently mobilized, and its advance seems to be... heading in the direction of our four major sects."
Upon hearing this, Titan slammed his large, fan-like hand on the table.
"Screw him!"
His voice was booming, making the entire hall resonate.
"What kind of bullshit Blue Silver King is he! If he dares to come, I'll show him just how hard the iron hammer of my Power Clan really is!"
Niu Gao, who was standing to the side, spoke up in a deep, muffled voice.
"Titan, don't be impulsive. The Blue Silver King was personally appointed by Emperor Xueye, so his strength and influence should not be underestimated."
Yang Wudi, who had the most fiery temper, snorted coldly, propped his signature Soul-Breaking Spear on the ground, and looked arrogant.
"Whoever they are, if they dare to mess with us, my gun, Yang Wudi's gun, is not to be trifled with."
Baihe gave a wry smile.
"My concern isn't whether we can win, but... why should we fight?"
"Our four clans have finally managed to gain a foothold outside Tiandou City. If we were to go to war with a prince who commands a large army, regardless of victory or defeat, we would suffer heavy losses!"
Just as the four were arguing endlessly and at a loss for what to do...
A calm and domineering male voice suddenly rang out at the entrance of the council hall.
"Everyone, don't worry."
The voice seemed to possess a peculiar magic, instantly silencing the four sect leaders in the hall, who all turned to look at it.
