Tang Qing's gaze fell on her.
The girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with long, smooth hair tied into two playful ponytails that swayed behind her head with her movements.
Her pretty face, which I found pitiful, was now covered with tears, making her look even more pathetic.
She had a wonderful figure; kneeling on the ground, her shapely curves were captivating.
Especially her long, slender legs, encased in tight pants, were incredibly elastic and alluring.
Seemingly sensing Tang Qing's gaze, Bai Chenxiang's delicate body trembled. She bit her red lips, raised her tearful eyes, and mustered all her courage to say:
"This humble woman, Bai Chenxiang, admires the divine might of Your Majesty!"
"I...I am willing to offer my body to serve the king! I only ask that the king show leniency to my Min clan!"
Her words contained both genuine submission to the invincible powerhouse and a selfish desire to secure a glimmer of hope for her family.
She knew that any resistance against a man like that would be futile.
Only by obeying him, or even becoming his woman, could she protect herself, her grandfather, and the entire clan.
Upon hearing this, Tang Qing revealed a playful smile.
He stretched out his finger, gently hooked it, and lifted her tear-streaked face. The touch of his fingertip was delicate and smooth.
He scrutinized her face, his gaze lingering on her for a moment, before saying softly:
"She's quite good-looking."
He could tell at a glance that the girl was still a virgin.
Xue Qinghe, who was not far away, saw this scene and his eyes flickered slightly.
This woman... is likely to be taken into his possession as well.
Zhu Zhuqing, standing beside Tang Qing, snorted and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.
She's just a pretty girl who wants to climb the social ladder and has her eyes on my king.
There's nothing to fear!
I, Zhu Zhuqing, will at least be a concubine in the Prince's mansion in the future, while she will at most be just a maid!
Tang Qing withdrew his fingertips from Bai Chenxiang's smooth chin, as if it were just an insignificant toy that he had lost interest in after looking at it.
His gaze didn't linger on the expectant and shy girl for even a moment longer.
Those deep eyes looked past the crowd, past the kneeling Minzhi clan chief Baihe, and landed directly on the murderous figure in the distance.
Tang Hao.
A smile appeared on Tang Qing's lips.
"Tang Hao."
He spoke, his voice calm, yet it carried like a decree, clearly resounding throughout the entire valley.
"Take me to her."
No one was mentioned, but everyone present, especially Tang Hao, knew exactly who it was.
That "she" can only be the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin.
Tang Hao clenched his fists even tighter, the veins on his arms bulging like dragons.
This man, this unfilial son!
He destroyed his most loyal subordinate right in front of him!
He disregarded his own dignity and trampled the foundations of the four major sects under his feet!
Now, he's even using this commanding tone to order me to take him to Ah Yin?
An uncontrollable rage almost burst forth from Tang Hao's chest, burning this rebellious son before him to ashes!
Tang Qing seemed to see through his thoughts, but her tone remained calm and composed.
"As long as Ah Yin is back by my side, I will have no more worries."
"At that time, we can settle accounts with each other as well."
These words were like a bucket of icy water, extinguishing Tang Hao's boiling anger and instantly calming him down.
He understood.
Everything Tang Qing is doing today is a prelude.
His real target is Ah Yin!
Once he gets Ah Yin back, he will have no more constraints and can unleash his most thorough revenge against his "father" without any scruples!
But for the sake of the mistress's life, he had no choice but to comply!
What a humiliation!
Tang Hao had roamed the continent for half his life, and had never suffered such a humiliating disgrace!
"Good...good! Very good!"
Tang Hao clenched his teeth, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"You wretched creature, you just wait!"
"Once I get my mistress back, I will grind you to dust and make sure you never reincarnate!"
He was screaming inwardly, but outwardly he could only suppress all his emotions.
"OK."
One word represented his compromise.
Tang Hao took a deep breath, turned around, and walked towards the back mountain. His back view was filled with desolation and heavy killing intent.
Tang Qing casually waved to Zhu Zhuqing beside him.
"I have high hopes for them."
"Yes, my king."
Zhu Zhuqing responded respectfully, then glanced at everyone present.
Both Bai Chenxiang, who was still in a daze, and Qian Renxue in the distance, had a strong sense of warning in their eyes.
Carrying the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, Tang Qing followed Tang Hao at a leisurely pace, and the two disappeared into the depths of the mountains and forests, one after the other.
...
at the same time.
Deep within the imperial palace of Tiandou City.
Inside the magnificent study, the air was filled with the gentle fragrance of incense.
Emperor Tiandou, Xue Ye, sat behind his dragon desk, looking at Prince Xue Xing before him with a slight frown.
"How's the communication with the Star Luo Empire going?"
The Snow Night Emperor's voice carried a hint of weariness, but more than that, it exuded a calm and composed air of strategic planning.
Prince Xuexing bowed and replied:
"Your Majesty, everything is going smoothly."
"The Xingluo royal family has already approved our proposal. They will find a pretext to invite Zhu Zhuqing back to the country to visit her family."
A knowing smile appeared on Prince Xuexing's face.
"According to reports from our spies, the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire, Davis, is a womanizer and has long coveted the famous beauty Zhu Zhuqing."
"Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing's older sister, Zhu Zhuyun, has always been at odds with her and sees her as a thorn in her side."
"As soon as Zhu Zhuqing returns to Xingluo, our people only need to subtly guide and provoke her, and Davis will surely make a move against her."
"At that time, given the Blue Silver King's domineering nature, how could he tolerate his woman being humiliated? A great battle is inevitable!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye was overjoyed and clapped his hands, laughing:
"Excellent! What a brilliant move to use one tiger to devour another!"
"The Star Luo Empire is powerful and its foundation is unfathomable. Although the Blue Silver King is strong, its foundation is still shallow."
"It would be best if they fought to the point of mutual destruction!"
He leaned back in his chair, his eyes flashing with the coldness of an emperor.
"Whether it's the destruction of the Blue Silver King or the flattening of the Star Luo Empire by him, which would be a great boon to our Heavenly Dou!"
Prince Xuexing quickly flattered:
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Emperor Xueye smiled smugly, then changed the subject, saying with a hint of displeasure:
"I wonder what the situation is like with the four major sects."
"This Blue Silver King is far too arrogant! I personally ordered him to withdraw his troops, yet he dares to disobey! He simply doesn't respect me or the Heavenly Dou Royal Family!"
"But it's good, the four major sects are closely connected, and Tang Hao, the famous Haotian Douluo, is in charge."
This time, we'll make him suffer a great defeat, and let him know that he doesn't call the shots on this continent alone!
