Yu Xiaogang loses control of his emotions whenever the "Blue Silver King" is mentioned.
When he introduced himself, the other party's indifferent, even dismissive, attitude was a humiliation he could never wash away in his lifetime.
He paused, then looked at Dai Mubai, his tone heavy.
"And Mu Bai, this is your chance too."
"You must reclaim your pride before the entire continent. Know that your..."
Yu Xiaogang was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized something was wrong, so he stopped talking.
Ma Hongjun, who was standing next to him, was the type who couldn't keep a secret, and he spoke up in a very casual manner.
"Speaking of the Blue Silver King, hey, I have a little secret information here."
Tang San frowned and tugged at him.
"Fatty, don't talk nonsense."
Ma Hongjun was completely unaware and shook off Tang San's hand.
"Third Brother, why are you pulling me like this? This is quite interesting."
He winked and, with a gossipy look on his face, continued:
"It is said that a prince of the Star Luo Empire was once sent to Tian Dou City as a hostage."
"And what happened? This prince's fiancée, a stunning beauty, was sent by the Star Luo royal family to marry the Blue Silver King!"
"Tell me, isn't this prince utterly useless? He can't even protect his own fiancée; it's a disgrace!"
As Ma Hongjun spoke, he burst into laughter.
"But then again, that Blue Silver King is really lucky, getting a beautiful woman sent by the Star Luo Empire for free."
"I wonder which corner that unlucky prince is hiding in and crying right now, hahaha..."
The laughter echoed in the wooden house, sounding particularly jarring.
As Ma Hongjun was laughing, he realized that the atmosphere was a bit off.
He saw that Dai Mubai's face had turned deathly pale, completely devoid of color.
"Hey? Boss Dai, what's wrong? You look terrible."
Dai Mubai did not answer.
His fists were clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.
Every word Ma Hongjun spoke was like a poisoned dagger, stabbing viciously into his heart.
waste.
A humiliating disgrace.
What a loser.
These words echoed repeatedly in his mind, tearing his last shred of dignity to shreds.
He recalled Tang Qing's arrogant gaze at the gates of Tiandou City four years ago.
He recalled the moment when he was forced to kneel down and personally offer Zhu Zhuqing to him.
At that moment, he not only lost his fiancée, but also all the dignity and future of a man.
Zhu Zhuqing...
Bamboo Clear...
The name lingered in his heart, bringing waves of sharp pain.
He suddenly felt as if he had truly lost something forever.
Something incredibly important, something that once belonged to him, has vanished completely.
Dai Mubai felt a tearing pain in his chest, his vision went black, and he fell straight backward.
"Bang!"
"Mu Bai!"
"Boss Dai!"
The crowd's expressions changed drastically, and they gasped as they rushed over.
...
The next day.
The first rays of morning sunlight pierced through the curtains and fell onto the soft bed.
Tang Qing slowly opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and invigorated. The internal heat accumulated from consuming immortal herbs over the past four years seemed to have been completely released last night.
He turned his head and saw the girl still fast asleep beside him.
Her long eyelashes still held traces of tears, her delicate face was flushed with a captivating blush, and her eyes and brows were tinged with a breathtaking charm.
He smiled and leaned down to gently kiss the girl's smooth forehead.
Seemingly sensing his movement, Zhu Zhuqing's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her captivating cat-like eyes.
Their eyes met, and she was stunned for a moment. Then, the crazy memories of last night flooded back, and her cheeks instantly turned red.
She shyly tried to bury herself under the covers, but Tang Qing pulled her out.
"woke up?"
"Um..."
Zhu Zhuqing's voice had a slightly hoarse quality, like someone new to the world, and sounded soft and sweet.
She struggled to sit up, her tattered silk nightgown slipping off, revealing a large expanse of fair, delicate skin and perfect curves.
Those straight and slender legs looked even more stunning at this moment.
Tang Qing's eyes darkened, but Zhu Zhuqing, despite her discomfort, obediently got out of bed and fetched the court robes that had been prepared for him.
She knelt by the bed and began to dress him.
Her fingers were nimble and her movements were gentle.
From the inner lining to the outer robe, from the belt to the jade pendant, every detail was meticulously crafted.
Her expression was focused and serious, as if she were handling a rare treasure.
The faint fragrance emanating from the girl, mixed with the scent of post-pleasure, continuously entered Tang Qing's nostrils.
This is a deadly temptation.
Tang Qing enjoyed the tenderness. After she finished dressing, he pinched her chin and gave her a deep kiss.
After a long while, their lips parted.
"I should go to court now."
"Yes, my husband... come back soon."
Zhu Zhuqing tiptoed and kissed him on the lips again, her eyes crinkling with a smile as beautiful as a flower.
Tang Qing smiled, patted her head, and turned to leave.
...
at the same time.
Deep inside a dark and damp cave.
Tang Hao was shirtless, his bronze muscles bulging and covered with crisscrossing scars.
Four years have passed, and his injuries have almost completely healed.
He casually plucked a muddy herb from the ground, and without even looking at it, stuffed it directly into the huge wine jug in his hand.
His rough, dirty hands reached into the pot and stirred it haphazardly a few times.
Then, he tilted his head back and gulped down the murky liquor.
"Gulp... gulp..."
The spicy liquor slid down his throat and dripped from the edges of his unkempt beard, soaking his chest.
"belch..."
Tang Hao let out a loud burp, his eyes filled with a hint of madness and obsession.
Before him, a giant blue silver grass was swaying gently, exuding a soft life force.
"Ah Yin."
Tang Hao's voice was deep.
"I'm going to find that Blue Silver King."
"As long as I seize his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, I can truly resurrect you!"
"But... I'm still not sure if he's really our son."
Upon hearing the word "son," the leaves of the Blue Silver Grass trembled violently, and a gentle yet anxious thought entered Tang Hao's mind.
"My son... Qing'er..."
Ah Yin was very emotional.
Years ago, Tang Hao secretly abandoned Tang Qing, who was still an infant, in a village. When she woke up and learned of this, she had a huge fight with Tang Hao.
That was her only child!
Tang Hao took another swig of wine, a ruthless glint in his eyes.
"Don't worry, Ah Yin."
"I will definitely kill that Blue Silver King and use his bloodline to give you a new life!"
