Strangling Duke Luo Ya

Before long, Rajef approached with a smile. Seeing Gu Shenggo standing before the iron cage, admiring the Twin Snake Girls, he hurriedly called out:

"Mr. Gu, are you satisfied?"

Hearing this, Gu Shenggo turned to look at Rajef and nodded slightly. He was very satisfied with this pair of Twin Snake Girls. Later, he would have to dote on them properly.

Rajef walked up to Gu Shenggo, holding a gold soul card containing the proceeds from the auction of Gu Shenggo's soul bone.

"Mr. Gu, these are all the proceeds from this auction. After deducting the 5% handling fee and the 1.06 million spent on this pair of Twin Snake Girls, there are a total of 16.05 million inside."

He respectfully handed the gold soul card to Gu Shenggo, who put it away without even looking at it. Money was no longer important to him.

As the auction proceeds reached his hands, the system's welfare mission was completed as well. An exquisite little jade pot with cloud patterns, no larger than a palm, appeared in the system space.

Gu Shenggo looked at the beautiful Snake Woman sisters inside the iron cage and reached out to touch them. The moment his finger touched She Yan'er's fair, tender cheek, however—

I'll bite!

She Yan'er suddenly opened her full lips and bit down on Gu Shenggo's finger. Her pretty face showed a stubborn, vicious expression, like a mother snake defending herself after being violated.

"Mr. Gu!"

When Rajef saw Gu Shenggo being bitten, his expression changed drastically. Five soul rings appeared, and a pitch-black long whip crackling with electricity appeared in his hand.

He swung the whip, preparing to lash She Yan'er, but Gu Shenggo stopped him with a wave of his hand.

Not only was Gu Shenggo not angry at being bitten by She Yan'er, he actually admired her.

This Snake Woman was spicy enough. He liked it.

Whether it was Lan Qingyan or Hu Yun and her daughter, they had all been too obedient to him. Though playing with them was pleasant, something had always been missing.

She Yan'er, who knew how to resist, would bring him a different kind of enjoyment. He could also savor the pleasure of conquest.

She Yan'er bit down tightly on Gu Shenggo's finger, her teeth exerting force. Her cold, beautiful face twisted slightly as she tried to bite his finger clean off. Yet no matter how hard she tried, she could not break through the Soul Power protection covering its surface.

"Sister..." Seeing her sister resist so fiercely, She Qing'er could not remain unmoved. Turning her head, she opened her little mouth and bit Gu Shenggo's wrist in resistance as well.

A strange sensation instantly traveled to Gu Shenggo's brain, and his gaze changed.

Looking at the Twin Snake Girls biting his finger and wrist, trying to resist him, the affection in Gu Shenggo's eyes grew deeper and deeper.

Just as Gu Shenggo was considering how to discipline the Twin Snake Girls after returning, Rajef suddenly called out beside him:

"Greetings, Prince Xue Xing and Duke Luo Ya!"

Gu Shenggo turned and saw Prince Xue Xing and Duke Luo Ya approaching one after the other, followed by eight soldiers in golden armor.

When Hu Yun and Bai Yujie, who stood behind Gu Shenggo, saw Duke Luo Ya, their expressions changed and panic appeared in their eyes.

Prince Xue Xing strode over with an arrogant expression. When he saw the Snake Women in the iron cage biting Gu Shenggo's arm, greed filled his eyes. Then he gave a light cough.

Duke Luo Ya immediately understood. With a wave of his hand, he had the golden-armored soldiers surround Gu Shenggo and the others. At the same time, he spoke righteously in a loud voice:

"By imperial decree, slave trading is prohibited. You have violated imperial law. Come with us."

Upon hearing this, Rajef's expression changed drastically. He looked at Prince Xue Xing and Duke Luo Ya in disbelief, never expecting them to resort to such despicable means!

Although this was the Heaven Dou Auction House and Xue Ye stood behind it, Prince Xue Xing dared to do this only because he was Xue Ye's younger brother.

They were actually using imperial law to snatch the Twin Snake Girls. How disgusting!

Looking at the eight golden-armored soldiers surrounding him, as well as Prince Xue Xing nearby, whose greedy eyes were fixed on his new pets, Gu Shenggo was very displeased.

Anyone who dared to steal from him—even a god—would not be allowed!

The terrifying aura of a Titled Douluo erupted instantly, as heavy as a mountain as it swept through the entire hall, directly suppressing everyone, including Hu Yun and her daughter and the Twin Snake Girls.

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black.

Eight pitch-black ten-thousand-year soul rings appeared, deep and terrifying, inspiring awe.

The air throughout the room seemed to freeze, making it impossible to breathe, as though Death itself had seized everyone by the throat.

"Get lost!"

Gu Shenggo withdrew his arm from the iron cage. Looking at Prince Xue Xing and Duke Luo Ya, who had been forced to the ground, he rebuked them coldly. The temperature in the room dropped sharply, and a thick layer of frost formed across the floor.

Prince Xue Xing and Duke Luo Ya lay prostrate on the ground like dogs, trembling violently. Looking at the eight ten-thousand-year soul rings slowly revolving around Gu Shenggo, they were utterly stunned.

Eight ten-thousand-year soul rings—it was that mysterious Soul Douluo!

They instantly recalled the news that had previously spread throughout Heaven Dou City.

Faced with a Soul Douluo, Duke Luo Ya felt somewhat afraid. But when he remembered that Prince Xue Xing had his back, he was not quite as frightened.

So what if he was a Soul Douluo? The Heaven Dou Royal Academy under Prince Xue Xing's jurisdiction had Soul Douluos as well—three of them, in fact. His soul ring configuration was merely more terrifying, but he was still only a Soul Douluo.

"Although you are a Soul Douluo, this is Heaven Dou City. I am a duke of the Heaven Dou Empire, and this man is Prince Xue Xing, younger brother of Xue Ye. Please withdraw your pressure. Let us pretend today's matter never happened."

Duke Luo Ya struggled to raise his head and threatened Gu Shenggo, intending to use Prince Xue Xing to pressure him.

But Prince Xue Xing's expression changed dramatically. He stared at Duke Luo Ya in disbelief and cursed inwardly.

This idiot! If he wants to die, don't drag me down with him!

Who had ever seen a Soul Douluo with all eight soul rings being ten-thousand-year rings? That was even more terrifying than a Titled Douluo!

Gu Shenggo glanced at Duke Luo Ya. His voice was indifferent, yet filled with overwhelming killing intent.

"I am never threatened."

Daring to threaten him was simply courting death!

An Ice Thorn Vine, like an enormous icy python, appeared and released a terrifying chill that froze one to the bone. It suddenly coiled around Duke Luo Ya.

Duke Luo Ya's expression changed drastically. He felt the Ice Thorn Vine gradually tighten, causing intense pain throughout his body. It grew tighter and tighter, his bones cracking as he struggled and roared repeatedly:

"What are you doing?! Let me go! I'm an imperial duke, you—"

"Crack! Crack! Rip!"

Like a giant python strangling its prey, the Ice Thorn Vine exerted immense force, twisting Duke Luo Ya into a mangled shape. Flesh and blood flew everywhere, his bones shattered, and he became a puddle of minced meat, dying on the spot.

Everyone who saw this was terrified. None of them had expected Gu Shenggo to be so ruthless, killing an imperial duke on the spot!

"Do you have any objections?"

After dealing with Duke Luo Ya, Gu Shenggo questioned Prince Xue Xing, who lay prostrate on the ground like a dog, trembling in terror.

Looking at Duke Luo Ya's mangled corpse before him, Prince Xue Xing was scared out of his wits. How could he possibly have any objections? His voice trembled, unable to conceal his fear.

"N-No objections. We'll get lost right away, right away!"
