Madam, You Wouldn't Want To
Xiao Tian threw him to the ground, and the man sat there in a sorry state, breathing heavily.
Han Yue and Qing Lin also came to stand quietly beside Xiao Tian.
The young man was instantly captivated by the two women's beauty, forgetting even where he was.
Xiao Tian gestured to Qing Lin and Han Yue, who understood Xiao Tian meaning and turned to the father and daughter, saying, "You should leave here immediately."
Upon hearing this, the father and daughter immediately kowtowed on the ground and hurriedly left the scene.
Xiao Tian looked down at the man and asked, "Who is the Heavenly Serpent Mansion Lord to you?"
The voice carried a cold Chilling Intent, and the man instantly snapped back to his senses upon hearing it.
"It is my mother."
The man wasn't stupid; he made no attempt to hide anything and hoped that his identity would save his life so he could seek revenge later.
Qing Lin and Han Yue returned to Xiao Tian's side at this time. Xiao Tian picked up the young man and, with Han Yue and Qing Lin in tow, sped towards the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's headquarters.
"Where are you taking me?" The young man was so scared he almost wet himself. He thought Xiao Tian was going to kill him in the middle of nowhere. His face grew increasingly panicked, and he was filled with fear as he kept begging for mercy.
Annoyed, Xiao Tian simply sealed his vocal cords.
Upon arriving at the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's headquarters, Xiao Tian didn't linger and flew directly towards the largest building, the main hall.
The main hall is covered with totems of celestial serpents, giving it a majestic and awe-inspiring appearance.
After stunning the guards outside, Xiao Tian glanced at the void beside him.
"Who goes there, daring to trespass into my Heavenly Serpent Mansion!" A cold shout came from inside the main hall.
Xiao Tian waved his Dou Qi to open the door in front of him, and carried the man inside. Han Yue and Qing Lin followed closely behind Xiao Tian.
Most people would think of a sinister force if they heard of a power named after a snake, but the main hall of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion was not like that.
The entire hall was very bright, and the pillars were carved with celestial serpents, giving it a majestic and mysterious appearance.
Seated on a high seat at the innermost part of the main hall was a beautiful woman with a graceful figure.
But her beautiful face was now filled with frost and vigilance.
Her gaze lingered on Xiao Tian for a moment, then turned to the man in Xiao Tian's arms. A hint of pity and anger flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by coldness. Her gaze towards Xiao Tian was like two sharp blades.
This beautiful woman was none other than She Yuyan, the Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, Five Star Dou Zong expert.
"Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in my Heavenly Serpent Mansion and even kidnap my son!" The Heavenly Serpent Mansion Lord shouted sternly, her voice melodious yet imposing.
She Yuyan sensed a subtle threat emanating from Xiao Tian, and knew that the man in front of her, who was younger than her son, was quite powerful, so she did not make any rash moves.
Xiao Tian's lips curled slightly, revealing a faint, cold smile, "Mansion Lord, I've come here today with no other intention than to make a deal with you."
She Yuyan frowned, knowing the other party was up to no good, and that her son was still in his hands. She coldly asked, "What deal?"
She inwardly cursed Xiao Tian for being shameless. What kind of good person would bring up someone else's son and ask to make a deal? She knew she was now at a disadvantage and could only let others take advantage of her.
"The corpse of the Ancient Heavenly Serpent." Xiao Tian stared directly at the beautiful woman before him, his Yin Qing reaching her ears.
She Yuyan's eyes narrowed slightly, then immediately returned to normal.
The corpse of the Ancient Heavenly Serpent was known only to successive Mansion Lord, and there was never any possibility of it being leaked.
"Although our Heavenly Serpent Mansion is named after the Heavenly Serpent, we don't have any Ancient Heavenly Serpent corpses. Where do you expect me to find this for you? Are you trying to play a trick on me?"
Although the expression on the Heavenly Serpent Mansion Lord only flashed by, Xiao Tian still caught it. "Mansion Lord, I advise you to think this over carefully. There's no need to use such words to fob me off. I've come here today because I have my reasons. Either you refuse, or I'll kill your son, and then we can continue our discussion."
After Xiao Tian finished speaking, he lifted the man in his hand and chuckled, "Madam, you don't want your son to lose his life, do you?"
Seeing Xiao Tian threaten her with her son, She Yuyan's face instantly turned ashen, realizing that he had come prepared.
She Yuyan gripped the armrests of the chair tightly and said in a deep voice, "The corpse of the Ancient Heavenly Serpent is the foundation of my Heavenly Serpent Mansion. How can I hand it over to you?"
"It seems the Mansion Lord doesn't want his son." Xiao Tian untied the man's vocal cords. Seeing that he could speak again, the man, as if grasping at a straw, screamed hysterically:
"Mom, save me!! Forget about that damn corpse, save me!"
After he finished speaking, Xiao Tian sealed his voice again.
She, who had always doted on her son, felt her heart clench as she heard his terrified voice.
Before she could speak, Xiao Tian's voice slowly came. "Of course, I don't intend to take the entire corpse of the Ancient Heavenly Serpent, only one thing from it."
Xiao Tian's previous buildup was actually for this one sentence: first, apply pressure, and then, when closing the net, create a small opening to let her see hope.
Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, She Yuyan fell into deep thought. The most precious thing on the entire Ancient Heavenly Serpent corpse was its hidden soul, which could only be drawn out through a special method.
Just as she hesitated, Xiao Tian spoke again, "Madam, I'm giving you one last chance. If you still don't agree, then I can only apologize."
Having said that, he increased the pressure on his hands, and the man struggled incessantly, his face contorted in pain, growing paler and paler, his breath growing weaker and weaker.
The Heavenly Serpent Mansion Lord looked at his son, who was in unbearable pain, and struggled to the extreme.
Now, her son's life or death hung in the balance. She clenched her fists tightly, as if making a final decision. The atmosphere in the entire hall became extremely tense.
Xiao Tian stood there quietly, his gaze fixed on She Yuyan, his grip tightening, and the man's breathing grew weaker and weaker.
"I promise you." After saying this, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion Lord deflated, his body going slightly limp.
"However, I hope you keep your word and only take one thing. After you take it, release my son immediately. Otherwise, I will fight to the death to keep something from you."
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Tian felt a strange sensation. "Fighting to the death to leave behind something of yours"—why did he have such a peculiar feeling? It was as if he had heard something like that before.
He glanced at the two women standing behind him, warily watching their surroundings.
Qing Lin and Han Yue:?
Without much thought, Xiao Tian Xiao Tian slowly relaxed the strength and Dou Qi in his hands, and smiled as he said:
"Of course, Madam has made a wise move."
The man in Xiao Tian's arms began to breathe heavily; he had already seen his great-grandmother coming to pick him up.
"Then please Mansion Lord. Once you've obtained the goods, I will naturally release your son."
