Tang Yuehua

"Of course. There is an Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well on Douluo Continent, located within Sunset Forest."

"However, it already has an owner. I can only go there once I'm stronger."

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was now occupied by Dugu Bo. Mu Zhe had no problem protecting himself with his methods, but making moves under Dugu Bo's nose would still be difficult, let alone planting Ah Yin there.

"Mm, I believe you."

"Besides, you don't need to worry. I'll recover soon. You know Tang Yuehua, right? We're going to find her now."

A clear, cold gleam shone in Mu Zhe's eyes.

Tang Yuehua's Noble Circle Domain could even suppress the killing intent of Divine Slaughter's Domain. It was highly likely that it could suppress that inexplicable arrogance within him as well.

No matter what happened this time, even if he had to seize her by force, he would make Tang Yuehua play several songs for him with her domain activated.

He did not want to endure the conflict between those emotions for another moment. That feeling was simply too painful!

"Tang Yuehua? That really might work!"

Ah Yin sounded even more delighted than when she had learned of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Nothing could be better than seeing that gentle young man recover.

Another half month passed. Mu Zhe sat in a carriage and could see the flag-covered city walls from afar.

Heaven Dou City was one of the two largest and most prosperous cities on the continent. Its walls stood a hundred meters high, and among the soldiers patrolling atop them were quite a few Soul Masters.

After entering the city, Mu Zhe saw several streets before him, including slums and wealthy districts. Their levels of prosperity varied, and for a moment, he could not even tell which direction to go.

Looking at Ah Yin in his hand, he asked, "Where is Tang Yuehua?"

"Head toward the most prosperous area. There's a five-story building with Moonlight Pavilion written on its plaque."

Ah Yin had first met Tang Yuehua in Moonlight Pavilion. More than ten years had passed since then.

However, the buildings in Heaven Dou City would not change even after decades. Following Ah Yin's directions, Mu Zhe soon arrived before Moonlight Pavilion.

Moonlight Pavilion stood in the most prosperous area at the center of Heaven Dou City. It was a five-story building, and even within Heaven Dou City, it counted as rather tall.

Its overall architectural style was somewhat antiquated. The plaque bore only two simple words: Moonlight Pavilion.

Inside a room on the fifth floor of Moonlight Pavilion, exquisite embroidered curtains hung on the walls, swaying softly as though telling their mistress's story.

A soft bed stood in the middle of the room, covered with pink bedding and pillows that gave off a comfortable, reassuring feeling.

Clearly, this was a young girl's... no, actually, a young married woman's bedroom.

At that moment, a noblewoman sat upright on a cushion in the room. A guzheng rested before her, and her slender, beautiful hands gently played its strings.

The music was soothing like a clear spring, as though it could calm any restless thoughts.

Suddenly, Tang Yuehua's delicate brows furrowed. In her brief distraction, her fingers instantly became disordered, ruining the once melodious tune.

If there had been listeners below, they would surely have been greatly disappointed. It was like ascending into heavenly music one moment, only to fall into the mortal world the next.

But there were no listeners now, and even if there had been, Tang Yuehua would not have cared. It was because she had sensed a murderous aura.

Yet this was the most prosperous street in Heaven Dou City, and this place was Moonlight Pavilion, the Court Etiquette Academy of the Heaven Dou Empire. Who would dare approach carrying murderous intent?

Tang Yuehua's first thought was of her second brother, and the man she had once loved, Tang Hao.

But upon closer inspection, it did not seem to be Tang Hao. Though Tang Hao's murderous aura was dense, after being suppressed by her Noble Circle Domain, it had become extremely restrained.

This murderous aura, however, was immensely dense, as if its owner had just experienced endless slaughter. Not a trace of it was concealed; it was wildly and brazenly displayed.

Others might not have sensed it, but she possessed a special talent and naturally noticed it immediately.

In the end, Tang Yuehua could not suppress her curiosity. She stopped playing, rose, and walked to the window. Opening it, she picked up the support rod, intending to prop the window open.

Yet the instant she looked down, she froze slightly. She even failed to hold the support rod securely, and it fell straight toward the handsome youth below.

Beneath Moonlight Pavilion stood a youth with refined features, like a clear spring. His sharply defined face seemed capable of striking directly at one's heart.

It had to be said that in her thirty-some years of life, Tang Yuehua had never seen such a beautiful youth. Merely seeing his profile from above had made her lose focus.

More importantly, the faint arrogance in his eyes made her unable to resist.

She had once been drawn to the arrogance in her second brother Tang Hao's eyes, but compared to this youth, Tang Hao was not worth mentioning at all.

That trace of arrogance made it seem as though this youth had truly once possessed power that no one could rival.

But he was only a youth. What kind of place could have nurtured such a gaze?

For an instant, she began to doubt her own understanding.

But in the next moment, Tang Yuehua recovered from her daze. Seeing the support rod slipping from her hand, her heart suddenly tightened, but it was already too late to catch it again.

"Move!"

In the end, Tang Yuehua could only cry out, hoping to warn the youth.

After all, the support rod was not light. Falling from the fifth floor, it would not threaten his life, but it would certainly injure him.

The worst outcome would be for the rod to slash the youth's cheek and leave him disfigured for life.

Tang Yuehua could not accept that outcome no matter what. It was the first time she had seen such a beautiful face. If it were ruined by her hand, even death a thousand times would not absolve her.

But her shout was of little use. She was merely an ordinary person, and her voice was gentle and soft. How could it possibly warn someone dozens of meters below in time?

At the very least, Mu Zhe did not notice.

Seeing the support rod about to strike Mu Zhe's head, Tang Yuehua closed her eyes in distress. It was ultimately her sin. If a beauty like Mu Zhe truly became disfigured, she was willing to take responsibility!

But reality was the exact opposite of what Tang Yuehua had imagined. Before the support rod could fall onto Mu Zhe's head, he sensed it.

His brows furrowed slightly. Looking up, he saw a wooden rod falling straight toward his head.

Soul Power circulated through Mu Zhe's hand as he used a crude Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon technique, catching the wooden rod perfectly in his hand.

Only then did he notice the beautiful woman on the fifth floor, lightly covering her eyes as though she did not dare look at something.

Mu Zhe instantly understood, and a teasing smile curved across his lips.

This... wasn't this the scene where Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing first met?

It seemed he and Tang Yuehua were quite fated.

The moment Mu Zhe saw Tang Yuehua, he recognized her. After all, her beauty was in no way inferior to Ah Yin's.

But after waiting for quite some time without hearing any commotion below, Tang Yuehua slowly opened her beautiful eyes. The youth was holding the support rod she had dropped and looking up at her with a faint smile.

Tang Yuehua's heart trembled slightly. Seeing the youth carry the support rod toward Moonlight Pavilion's entrance, she felt inexplicably uneasy, though mixed within it was a trace of anticipation.

Such a graceful young man was worth getting to know, but she was also worried that he had come to cause trouble. It was a contradiction.

"Moonlight Pavilion does not receive those carrying weapons!"

Two youths in blue stood before Moonlight Pavilion's entrance. Both looked rather handsome and were neatly dressed.

One of them raised an arm to block the doorway, his voice clear and ringing.

Hearing this, a trace of surprise appeared on Mu Zhe's face. Even the youth standing beside the one blocking the way looked surprised.

Wasn't it said that Moonlight Pavilion merely did not receive those whose clothes were improperly arranged? Since when had there been a rule against receiving those carrying weapons? That was what Mu Zhe and the other youth were both thinking.

"Hey, did you get that wrong? When has Moonlight Pavilion ever had such a rule? Besides..."

The other youth shot a strange glance at the wooden rod in Mu Zhe's hand. "Besides, how is that even a weapon?"

The youth blocking the way shot his companion an unhappy look. "If I say there is, then there is."

When had Moonlight Pavilion ever had such a rule? He had simply made it up.

After all, he could not exactly say that he could not stand seeing Mu Zhe being so handsome. What if Mu Zhe stole away one of the girls he liked in Moonlight Pavilion?

"Hmm?"

Seeing their exchange, an amused look appeared on Mu Zhe's face again. Black light flowed through his eyes. In the next instant, a shadow emerged beneath his feet and concealed his Spirit Ring, while another shadow instantly appeared behind the youth blocking the way.

It raised a hand, grabbed the back of his collar, and in the blink of an eye appeared dozens of meters away. The next instant, it vanished directly from Mu Zhe's sight.

In only a moment, even Mu Zhe had no idea where it had thrown the man. His shadow was unimaginably fast.

"Does Moonlight Pavilion really have such a rule?"

"N-No! Moonlight Pavilion only receives those whose clothes are improperly arranged! My lord, please come in!"

The other youth's eyes were filled with terror. What had he just seen? A flash of black light, and his companion was gone!

At that moment, he could not help feeling fortunate that he had not tried to block Mu Zhe's path. Otherwise, he feared he would have been done for as well.

Only then did Mu Zhe nod in satisfaction. He knew that arrogance was acting up again. Under normal circumstances, he would have merely slipped inside quietly, or reasoned with them first.

Yet for some inexplicable reason, he felt no resistance toward handling the matter this way.

It had to be said that arrogance often suited his tastes. It was as though those thoughts had always been his own.

But that was only sometimes. At many other times, it clashed greatly with him. For example, when he had made Tang Hao mine, he had clearly been unable to contend with Tang Hao, yet had still arrogantly chosen to strike back.

If he did not resolve this arrogant emotion, he would sooner or later suffer for it!

Upon entering the first floor of Moonlight Pavilion, a faint fragrance greeted him. In an instant, Mu Zhe felt refreshed and clear-minded, making him look forward even more to Tang Yuehua's domain.

Suddenly, a figure hurried past in the distance and ran toward the rear of Moonlight Pavilion. Mu Zhe frowned slightly. It was the youth from the entrance who had not blocked his path.

If he was allowed to report what had happened, there would probably be more obstacles later.

Thus, Mu Zhe quickened his pace and headed directly toward the stairs leading to the second floor.

Beside the staircase was a spacious hall. As Mu Zhe crossed it, he saw several plainly dressed yet quite delicate girls standing behind desks on either side of the stairs.

When they saw Mu Zhe approaching, the girls froze slightly. They had never seen such a handsome man before, but the main reason for their surprise was that Mu Zhe was not a student of Moonlight Pavilion.

They themselves were students of Moonlight Pavilion, yet they had never seen Mu Zhe. More importantly, he was heading up to the second floor.

"May I ask who you are?"

One of the girls stepped forward and bowed, a trace of confusion on her face.

"I'm a friend of the pavilion master."

Mu Zhe raised the support rod in his hand, a mysterious smile on his face. Seeing the wooden rod in his hand, the girl was just about to stop him, but in the blink of an eye, Mu Zhe's figure vanished before her.

Everyone's faces instantly filled with shock as they all looked toward the second floor. Yet there did not seem to be anyone there.

In the end, they calmed themselves and returned to their respective duties. After all, this was not something students like them should concern themselves with.

Before long, Mu Zhe reached the third floor. At the staircase leading to the fourth floor stood a middle-aged man in purple, with the youth from the entrance beside him.

The youth was drenched in sweat and gasping for breath, clearly having run up through a hidden route without stopping for even a moment.

"How did you get up here so quickly?"

Before the youth could report the situation to the manager, he noticed Mu Zhe behind him, and shock filled his face.

"You go down first."

The manager in purple frowned, looked at the youth, and waved a hand. He then turned to Mu Zhe, his furrowed brow tightening further.

He could roughly guess what had happened. The youth before him had barged in directly, clearly with ill intent.

But in the next instant, the confusion on the purple-clothed manager's face turned into shock.

What the hell?

Did I see that wrong? This youth is actually a Soul Elder?

Yet the youth looked far too young, no older than twelve at most, by his estimation.

He remembered that he had been nearly twenty when he broke through to Soul Elder.

Since when had such a monstrous genius appeared on Douluo Continent, one who no longer followed common sense?

"Who are you? What business do you have at Moonlight Pavilion? If you wish to enroll, please return another time. It is not currently enrollment season."

In the end, the manager remained cautious. Perhaps this was the descendant of some great power. In any case, such talent was not someone he could afford to offend.

"The pavilion master dropped something. I came to return it."

Mu Zhe lifted the support rod in his hand, a calm smile on his face. He showed no fear despite the manager being a Soul Emperor.

Damn!

Not to mention that he had just deceived a Super Douluo, even that arrogance would not allow him to bow his head.

The manager's eyes narrowed. He truly wanted to complain that Mu Zhe had trespassed into Moonlight Pavilion over such a ridiculous excuse.

But when he saw the wooden rod in Mu Zhe's hand clearly, he instantly understood.

It was clearly a window support rod, crafted from the finest boxwood. It was precisely the pavilion master's favorite type of wood.

Perhaps the pavilion master truly had dropped it by accident.

"Then just hand it over to me. You may leave now."

The manager nodded and was about to raise his hand to take the support rod from Mu Zhe when a melodious voice drifted down from the fourth floor. Noble yet elegant, it was pleasant to hear.

"Manager Aude, let him come up."

The manager froze slightly, then looked toward the fourth floor. The voice had come from there. It was the pavilion master's voice.

He bowed toward the fourth floor, then looked at Mu Zhe and gestured toward the stairway, indicating that Mu Zhe could proceed.

A satisfied smile appeared on Mu Zhe's face. He also looked toward the fourth floor, then stepped toward the staircase. The manager followed half a step behind him.

But after Mu Zhe entered the fourth-floor hall, the manager could only stop outside the door.

The fourth floor was somewhat smaller than the floors below, but its decorations were more luxurious while still appearing elegant. This was where Moonlight Pavilion received distinguished guests.

Mu Zhe looked at the beautiful married woman before him, and his eyes trembled slightly.

Hiss!

Looks like my heart skipped a beat again without me noticing!

After Xiao Wu and Ah Yin, Tang Yuehua also seemed to be the married-woman type. Though not entirely, since she had merely once loved Tang Hao, for some inexplicable reason, Mu Zhe wanted to take her away.

Tang Yuehua appeared to be around twenty-five or twenty-six. Her eyes were tranquil as water, as though she had seen through everything in the world. Her silver palace gown fit perfectly, and her noble, elegant temperament flowed naturally from her.

When she saw Mu Zhe arrive and take a seat, her slender fingers rose and lightly brushed over the guqin before her.

Having sensed the murderous aura on Mu Zhe, she decided to play a song to calm his heart.

Within the fourth-floor hall, only the lingering sound of the guqin could be heard. It was like the tinkling spring water of a stream, and like an orchid hidden in a valley, as though it could soothe all restless emotions.

Mu Zhe listened quietly for a while, then suddenly frowned slightly. Tang Yuehua's music could calm people and even seemed to be smoothing away the murderous aura around him, but it did nothing to suppress that arrogance.

Opening his eyes to look at Tang Yuehua, Mu Zhe realized that she had not activated her Noble Circle Domain.

The melodious music continued until Tang Yuehua's delicate body trembled slightly. A warmth touched her cheek. She suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, only to see Mu Zhe caressing her face.

"Pavilion Master, is there anything you want? Or rather, do you want the cultivation talent of a normal Soul Master?"

Mu Zhe gently stroked Tang Yuehua's cheek. Possessiveness filled his eyes, mixed with an inexplicable confidence.

He still chose the most direct method: make a deal with Tang Yuehua. As long as he obtained the Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, helping her regain her cultivation talent would not be a problem.

He only wanted her to play several songs for him with the Noble Circle Domain activated.

If Tang Yuehua refused, he would have no choice but to use force. In any case, he had never intended to settle this peacefully before coming here.

After all, Tang Yuehua was Tang Hao's sister and Tang San's paternal aunt. She was his potential enemy.

He had even once thought that a transaction was not secure enough. Playing a few times might not be effective, so he should simply abduct her. Until that arrogant emotion was suppressed, he would make her keep playing!

"You..."

Tang Yuehua's delicate body trembled. She instinctively recoiled, a flash of anger appearing in her beautiful eyes.

Most of those who came to her Moonlight Pavilion were spoiled young nobles, but she had never seen anyone this domineering. Even Tang Hao had never been this overbearing, yet he actually dared to lay hands on her directly.

"Sir, please conduct yourself with dignity!"

A chill appeared in Tang Yuehua's eyes as she looked at Mu Zhe. Just moments ago, she had felt guilty that the pole had struck him, but now all her guilt and favorable impression had vanished.

Yet for some inexplicable reason, a strange feeling rose in her heart. For a brief instant, she even felt a trace of admiration.

After all, even Xue Ye, the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, who had feelings for her, had never dared to force himself on her. Yet Mu Zhe had done what no one else dared to do.

But Tang Yuehua's retreat was useless. Soul Power flowed through Mu Zhe's hand as he unleashed Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon. The next moment, he pulled her directly into his arms.

"You..."

A rare flush of embarrassment crossed Tang Yuehua's proud face. She raised a hand against his chest, wanting to push Mu Zhe away, but Mu Zhe only wanted to say: weak strength, no dinner?

In the end, Tang Yuehua could not break free from Mu Zhe and could only look toward the door. "Manager Aude, hurry and throw this villain out!"

Mu Zhe's gaze narrowed slightly, and the arm around Tang Yuehua tightened a little. He turned toward the entrance just as Manager Aude flashed into the hall.

The first thing Manager Aude saw was the young man holding the Pavilion Master in his arms. His eyes instantly widened in shock.

"Release the Pavilion Master at once! Otherwise, you won't leave Moonlight Pavilion alive!"

He shouted harshly, and a black vine appeared in his hand. It was his Martial Soul, the Ghost King Vine, while six Spirit Rings rose beneath his feet.

Though his Soul Power far surpassed Mu Zhe's, he did not dare attack immediately.

For some inexplicable reason, the moment he saw Mu Zhe's eyes, a trace of fear rose within him uncontrollably.

In the end, he could only curse himself inwardly. If he had not let Mu Zhe up to the fourth floor, the Pavilion Master would not have been taken hostage.

For a moment, he did not know what to do. Attacking might hurt the Pavilion Master, or Mu Zhe might hurt her. But if he did not attack, the Pavilion Master would suffer Mu Zhe's humiliation.

"Attack directly. Do not worry about me!"

Sensing Manager Aude's hesitation, Tang Yuehua immediately shouted.

She had also sensed Mu Zhe's possessiveness toward her. It seemed there would be no peaceful resolution today.

Even if Manager Aude did not attack, Mu Zhe would still do something excessive to her. Attacking was the best choice.

Manager Aude did not dare disobey Tang Yuehua's order, but even with her telling him to attack, his eyes remained filled with confusion.

Damn!

With his Soul Emperor cultivation, one Soul Skill could probably blow both of them away.

After all, that bastard was shamelessly pressing himself tightly against the Pavilion Master.

Manager Aude did not dare act rashly, but Mu Zhe had no such reservations. He was even delighted that Tang Yuehua had conveniently handed him a weakness.

Yuehua, Yuehua, Manager Aude has followed you for so many years. You can't possibly disregard whether he lives or dies, can you?

Several golden pellets quietly appeared in Mu Zhe's hand. As he infused them with Soul Power, they instantly turned into golden threads.

The next instant, the Dragon Whisker Needles transformed into golden streaks and shot toward Manager Aude.

Hmm?

Manager Aude's gaze tightened. Did this villain think such a petty trick would work? A casual Soul Power barrier from me could easily...

Pfft!

I... damn?

Did I see that right?

Manager Aude touched his chest. Those golden lights had actually pierced through his Soul Power barrier, and then... entered his body!

Hiss!

The next instant, his expression changed drastically. His previously fair face turned red, then green, an utterly spectacular sight.

"Manager Aude, what's wrong?"

Tang Yuehua had already prepared herself to be injured, yet the next moment, she saw Manager Aude clutch his chest and collapse to the floor, his face twitching spasmodically.

"What did you do to Manager Aude?"

She could only look at Mu Zhe before her, panic flashing in her eyes.

Manager Aude was a Soul Master she had once rescued outside the mountain gate of the Clear Sky Sect. Later, to repay her kindness, he had remained at Moonlight Pavilion and helped her maintain order.

For more than a decade, he had served faithfully. Now that Manager Aude was injured, how could she not be anxious?

Mu Zhe raised his hand and lightly rubbed the golden pellets resting in his palm. His eyes held a teasing glint as he looked at Tang Yuehua. "Can you listen to my request now?"

"You..."

Tang Yuehua was furious, but seeing Manager Aude's expression worsen by the moment, she did not dare hesitate further. "Fine. Tell me what you want. As long as it is something I can do, I definitely..."

With her intelligence, she had naturally realized that Mu Zhe wanted something from her. But his behavior earlier had been far too rude, so she could not help resisting and ordering Manager Aude to attack.

But just as Tang Yuehua was about to say, "I'll definitely do it," Manager Aude suddenly straightened up. Extreme fury filled his eyes as he looked at Mu Zhe!

This villain definitely lusted after the Pavilion Master's body!

As her guard, how could he let this villain get what he wanted?

No matter how much it hurt, he could endure it for the Pavilion Master!

"Pavilion Master, do not agree to any of this villain's demands! I can definitely drive him out!"

Tang Yuehua looked at Manager Aude, her beautiful eyes trembling.

Manager Aude, please stop talking. Looking at your complexion, if you don't get treated soon, you'll probably drop dead right here!

Though Manager Aude had straightened himself, his body trembled without pause.

Not only Tang Yuehua—even Mu Zhe's eyes twitched slightly. He had just fired seven or eight Dragon Whisker Needles, and they had struck Manager Aude's chest and abdomen.

Honestly, if he did not remove the Dragon Whisker Needles soon, Manager Aude really would die on the spot. Yet Mu Zhe had not expected him to insist on protecting his master to the death.

At that moment, Mu Zhe only wanted to ask: what breed of pathetic simp was this...

The golden pellets in Mu Zhe's hand turned into Dragon Whisker Needles again, but at that moment, Tang Yuehua suddenly wrapped her arms tightly around him, a layer of mist rising in her eyes.

"Don't use that weapon again. Otherwise, Manager Aude will really die. Don't mind him. If you have any demands, let's go to my bedroom and discuss them directly."

Manager Aude might merely be an old servant, but how could she bear to watch him die in Moonlight Pavilion?

Pfft!

Manager Aude immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted onto the floor the next moment.

The Pavilion Master, who had been flawless and incomparably noble in his eyes, had actually compromised with this villain. But why was he a little happy? It seemed the Pavilion Master had compromised entirely to protect him!

Hiss!

Even if he died today, it was worth it!

How could Manager Aude know that Tang Yuehua had compromised only because she realized they were no match for Mu Zhe? Whether Manager Aude stood up for her or not, she had already fallen into Mu Zhe's hands and could not resist.

"Wuwu, are you satisfied now? Manager Aude is dead!"

Mu Zhe was utterly speechless.

Why were you putting on such a tough act? Now look at you—your fury attacked your heart, and you passed out directly.

"Don't worry. He isn't dead yet."

Mu Zhe walked over to Manager Aude. Even so, he did not release Tang Yuehua from his arms.

He unleashed Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, and an attraction force appeared from nowhere. Following the extraction method for Dragon Whisker Needles from Tang San's Memories, he soon pulled out several threads.

Only then did Tang Yuehua sigh in relief and raise a hand to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes.

"Alright, now it's time for you to fulfill your promise."

"Ah!"

The next moment, Mu Zhe hugged the beauty in his arms tightly. Tang Yuehua cried out, and the two passed through layer after layer of space, appearing in Tang Yuehua's bedroom on the fifth floor.

"You really intend to..."

Seeing the familiar surroundings, Tang Yuehua's heart clenched. This villain had really brought her to her bedroom to discuss matters!

But with a man and woman alone in a bedroom, what else could they possibly discuss?

Tang Yuehua looked at Mu Zhe's handsome face and fell into a slight daze. If she had not once loved someone she should not have loved, and if this villain had not used force but instead spoken to her properly, perhaps she might have been able to accept him.

But now...

Tang Yuehua closed her beautiful eyes in despair, her fair, jade-like arms trembling as they reached toward the sash at her waist.

At least she had long seen through and let go of that mistaken affection. She simply did not know whether she could truly accept this young man in the future...

"What are you doing?"

Mu Zhe propped the pole against the window, then turned around to find Tang Yuehua wearing an expression as though she were heading to her death.

"Hm? Weren't you going to..."

Confusion appeared on Tang Yuehua's face. After carefully studying Mu Zhe's expression, it really seemed that she had misunderstood!

"You thought I was going to..."

Mu Zhe shook his head. That sort of thing could happen anytime, but right now, he only wanted Tang Yuehua to start playing music immediately!

It was also thanks to Pride that he had captured Tang Yuehua so quickly, but...

Damn!

He did not want Pride anymore, at least not until he had truly grown strong.

Mu Zhe grabbed Tang Yuehua's jade-like hand and pulled her straight onto a cushioned seat.

"Activate your Noble Circle Domain and play for me!"

"You..."

A trace of embarrassed anger flashed over Tang Yuehua's face. Though she was immensely relieved that Mu Zhe did not intend to do that sort of thing to her...

Couldn't you keep your voice down?!

In the end, Tang Yuehua could only endure her embarrassment and anger as she activated her domain and began to play softly.

She could only comfort herself inwardly. Perhaps today, she could use her domain to reform this villain.

If she could correct his rude temperament, then perhaps he would not be impossible to accept.

Sure enough!

The instant Tang Yuehua activated her domain, Mu Zhe's eyes lit up. Those chaotic emotions were slowly fading away, and even the most domineering Pride was no exception.

Until Tang Yuehua's hands had grown tired from playing, and she secretly opened her eyes to glance at Mu Zhe.

"What are you looking at me for? Keep playing!"

Noticing the beautiful woman's little movement, Mu Zhe said irritably.

"Mu Zhe, isn't this a little too cruel?"

Ah Yin spoke reluctantly from his wrist. Actually, she very much supported Mu Zhe doing this—ideally, he would just abduct Tang Yuehua outright.

After all, she knew that Tang Yuehua had once loved that bastard of a man.

In any case, she strongly supported anything that could make that bastard unhappy.

But what she could not bear was this: only by letting Tang Yuehua rest for a while could she keep playing! Mu Zhe was completely killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. He did not understand sustainable development at all!

"Hm? What is that on your hand?"

But just as Mu Zhe was about to reply to Ah Yin, Tang Yuehua cried out in surprise, her beautiful eyes staring directly at Ah Yin.

That little grass reminded her of Ah Yin. Blue-gold patterns covered its entire body, and it was Blue Silver Grass. It could only be Ah Yin.

"Mind your own business. Keep playing!"

Mu Zhe was somewhat surprised that Tang Yuehua could actually sense Ah Yin's presence.

In truth, Tang Yuehua's perception of emotions was extremely keen. The instant Ah Yin spoke earlier, she had sensed Ah Yin.

"You... if you don't tell me, I won't play!"

Tang Yuehua immediately grew angry, while inwardly becoming deeply anxious. She truly wanted to know whether the little grass on Mu Zhe's hand was Ah Yin.

She had already been captured by Mu Zhe anyway. At worst, she would go all out. She had also sensed that Mu Zhe needed something from her, so he would not tear away all pretense for the time being.

"If you don't play, I'll force myself on you."

Mu Zhe raised a brow, a ruthless expression appearing on his face.

"Then do it. If you force yourself on me, I'll never play again."

Tang Yuehua crossed her arms over her chest, her face completely unconcerned.

"Then I'll do it."

An attraction force appeared from nowhere, and Mu Zhe pulled Tang Yuehua directly into his arms, raising a hand to caress her cheek.

"I mean it!"

Tang Yuehua's delicate body trembled, but she still refused to yield.

At that moment, Mu Zhe could not help getting hard. Ahem, don't misunderstand—it was his fist that got hard.

That Pride was acting up again.

But he knew Tang Yuehua's character. She was exceedingly noble and equally proud. Once it involved something she truly cared about, she would never compromise.

Still, Mu Zhe restrained Pride and put on a teasing smile. "Her name is Ah Yin. I snatched her from a man."

"Ah Yin! Then that man must be..."

Tang Yuehua's eyes trembled violently. "Then I definitely can't play for you!"

A mocking glint appeared in Mu Zhe's eyes. "Heh heh. Then don't you want to know where that man is?"

"You... Fine, I'll play. I'll play!"

Leaving aside the fact that Ah Yin was in Mu Zhe's hands, the news of Tang Hao was also something she could not resist.

In the end, after Tang Yuehua rested for a while, she began another round of playing.
