The Inevitable Has Arrived
But considering Tang Miao's Innate Soul Seed domain and his control over it, perhaps it's not entirely impossible?
Having been a victim herself, she knew clearly that Tang Miao was in the same boat. People like them, with their Innate Talent, almost always carried flaws. But if Tang Miao could do it, perhaps she could too?
Ding Yumian immediately asked, "Don't your own Lightning Element and Ice Element domains cause you any backlash?"
"Yes, I recently experienced a backlash in the Barren City when I was an exchange student. But our situations are different. If you try to adjust your emotions and move on from the past, I think you'll be able to control yourself more easily than I was."
Ding Yumian looked at Tang Miao quietly, then said, "You're lying to me."
"Um?"
Tang Miao paused, then said, "How did I lie to you...?"
Ding Yumian smiled slightly and said, "Don't forget, I'm still Mind Element."
"Okay..." Tang Miao shrugged, then said, "I just wanted to start a conversation with you."
Now that he'd been discovered, Tang Miao naturally chose to openly admit it. Controlling his emotions? How could that be possible... Let alone Ding Yumian, he probably couldn't even do it himself.
"You're really funny," Ding Yumian said with a smile, covering her mouth.
"How about starting a relationship with someone as interesting as me?"
"Don't want."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yumian shook her head directly and said, "I already said, I also know some things about you. The Mingzhu Goddess Mu Nujiao and you have quite a close relationship, don't you?"
"Well..."
Tang Miao was somewhat puzzled. The technological age was indeed a headache. Anything could be found out with a simple investigation...
Seeing Tang Miao remain silent, Ding Yumian gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Actually, sometimes I really want to experience what it's like to be in love... But that's an extreme luxury for me. I've seen many classmates heartbroken after breakups. Of course, I've also seen them happy and carefree when they were deeply in love..."
"Are you afraid of being hurt, or are you afraid that certain emotions will hurt others?" Tang Miao asked, looking at Ding Yumian's exhausted expression.
Ding Yumian nodded, then added, "It's strange, it's been so long since I've talked to someone this much."
From initially wanting to mess with her, Tang Miao now feels a sense of sympathy for Ding Yumian.
Love is such a wonderful thing, yet my sister, because of her lack of talent, can't even enjoy it...
Tang Miao nodded and said, "Perhaps we are all victims?"
"Little brat, if you want to chat with someone next time, feel free to come find me anytime. I can even help you with your dating needs. That's all for today, I'm going home now."
They chatted for ages, but he hadn't even touched her hand, which felt like a failure. But he didn't want to taint such a pure and innocent girl.
Actually, it's just that there wasn't a chance, otherwise...
"Okay, then, you'll have to trouble you from now on, you scumbag brother." Ding Yumian nodded and stood up.
She really wanted to ask Tang Miao how he succumbed to her emotional influence. But then she remembered that Tang Miao possessed Space Element at the Intermediate Level, meaning his mental strength must be incredibly powerful...
After learning about the girl's suffering, Tang Miao went to the Qingtian Hunter Agency.
He had just arrived when he saw Leng Qing about to go out.
"Senior Sister, where are you rushing off to?"
Leng Qing seemed to have received some orders, and upon seeing Tang Miao, she casually pulled him along, saying, "Since you're here, let's go together. I'll tell you on the way."
On the plane...
After Leng Qing recounted what happened in Hangzhou, Tang Miao was taken aback and said, "What did you say? Zhu Meng, the Judgment Society who advocated for the hidden dangers, wants to attack my snake?"
Leng Qing nodded and said, "That's right. Two people died from the poison's corrosive effects. Zhu Meng, for some reason, is convinced that the Totem Snake was responsible. It seems they're planning to make their move in the next few days, and I've received orders."
Leng Qing knew a little about totems, but not much. Moreover, she had always known about snakes in Hangzhou.
The Totem Snake hasn't done anything wrong all these years, so why is it suddenly doing something harmful now?
There are many suspicious points inside...
Tang Miao sneered, "Hmph, let them try then."
He originally didn't want to deal with these people. However, that didn't mean he was completely unprepared. They wanted to fight for power and profit, but Tang Miao didn't care, and it was none of his business.
However, since the other party was actually targeting his younger brother because of political maneuvering, he naturally couldn't let them control him!
Seeing Tang Miao's reaction, Leng Qing warned, "I received information that the Dark Serpent is currently molting, which is its weakest point. You'd better not act rashly. Even if you've reached a higher level, you'll still be facing a super-level opponent."
Tang Miao remained confident. "Senior Sister, you just need to stay far away then."
Although Leng Qing hadn't met Tang Miao many times, she had heard a lot about him from Ling Ling.
Tang Miao isn't usually a reckless person, so this demeanor seems to make him appear even more confident?
Leng Qing didn't say anything more, because no matter how much she said, she probably wouldn't get any answers.
After arriving in Hangzhou, Tang Miao did not go to the Judgment Society with Leng Qing first.
Leng Qing thought Tang Miao was planning to run away with the snake? Come to think of it, it makes sense. Once the Dark Serpent regains its strength, Zhu Meng won't be able to provoke it.
With the strength of Monarch-Level Demon, it's practically impossible to win without five or six Super Level Mages!
Moreover, even five or six Super Level Mage can only deal with ordinary monarchs. When encountering Great Monarch like the Dark Serpent, even more than ten Super Level Mage might not be enough.
After Tang Miao arrived at a spot not far from the Dark Serpent, he took out the Totem Bead and awakened it. A moment later, the miniature Dark Serpent perched on Tang Miao's shoulder.
After summoning the Dark Serpent, Tang Miao headed straight for the Hangzhou Magic Association building.
When Tang Miao arrived, Tang Zhong came out.
"Tang Miao, how... how did you bring a god along!?"
Tang Zhong originally wanted to ask Tang Miao why he hadn't run away with the Dark Serpent and instead came here. However, after seeing the Dark Serpent on Tang Miao's shoulder, he was immediately dumbfounded...
"What are you panicking about? I have my reasons for coming here," Tang Miao said nonchalantly.
Tang Zhong said anxiously, "The god is about to molt. It's one thing for you to be arrogant and domineering normally, but why don't you know to restrain yourself now? Don't you know that Zhu Meng gathered people to deal with our totem god?"
Tang Miao nodded. "I know! That's why I came."
"You..."
"You're quite sensible!"
Just then, a sound came from inside the building, and then a middle-aged man with a thick beard came out.
