Sweet Yu Takes the Bait

"Alright, enough talk, let's leave here." Without giving Yu Shishi a chance to object, Tang Miao said to everyone.

Faced with this irresistible order, Yu Shishi could only pout unhappily...

She didn't even dare to verbally refute this scoundrel... After all, she was genuinely afraid that Tang Miao would use her to quench his thirst...

After another rapid advance, the group had just stopped when Tang Miao sensed the fluctuations of the Kirin Jade.

"It's the Moon Moth Phoenix!" Just then, Mu Ningxue said softly.

Upon hearing this, Yu Shishi quickly raised her head, only to see the Moon Moth Phoenix covered in wounds, so weak that it seemed she might perish at any moment.

As the person and the Totem Beast fell, Mo Fan took out the potion he had obtained from Parthenon Xin Xia and immediately began to use it on them. Unfortunately, the potion was completely ineffective; the wounds inflicted by the Devil Tree were incurable, and Yan Clan's life force had already withered, having nothing to do with the injuries.

"Grandma..." Chen Ying's eyes reddened; she didn't know why she saw Yan Clan like this...

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Yan Clan lay on the soft leaves, not responding to Chen Ying. Her eyes were fixed blankly on Moon Moth Phoenix. She kept repeating this sentence over and over again.

The Moon Moth Phoenix did not respond. Suddenly, its body turned into starlight and disappeared in front of everyone. Then, a small moon moth with a glowing body fluttered its wings and slowly landed on the Yan Clan's shoulder.

Yan Clan seemed to have something more to say, but sadly, her life had come to an end... The little moon moth that the Moon Moth Phoenix had transformed into was also wrapped in moon-white silk at the same time, seemingly entering the end of its own life cycle with the Yan Clan's passing...

Yu Shishi hugged her tightly. At this moment, the Moon Moth Phoenix was too fragile, no different from an ordinary Green Moth. Strands of starlight slowly flew towards Yu Shishi and entered her body, as if forming some special connection.

The Moon Moth Phoenix was Totem Beast. Although it's now dead, totems are almost all undead creatures, so it can be reawakened if certain conditions are met.

Looking at the bewildered Yu Shishi, Tang Miao said calmly, "Don't worry, you are its true next guardian. It will awaken again in the future."

"What do I need to do?" Ever since moving into Moon Snow Town, Yu Shishi has acknowledged Tang Miao as the totem leader.

After hearing that the Moon Moth Phoenix had only entered reincarnation, he breathed a sigh of relief, then asked with great confusion.

Although she was a totem guardian, the totem's lifespan was far too long... She wasn't sure if she would live to see it again...

"I'll explain it to you in detail when we get back," Tang Miao said with a slight smile.

"You..."

Seeing his expression, which suggested he had ulterior motives, Yu Shishi felt a surge of displeasure. However, given that it concerned Moon Moth Phoenix, she could only choose to tolerate it. Like Tang Yue, the totem was like an elder to her. Without Moon Moth Phoenix, she might not be alive today...

Upon returning to Yantai City, the news of this cannibalistic trap was quickly relayed to the government, the Magic Association, and the military. What followed was no longer Tang Miao and his group's concern.

They didn't linger and immediately returned to Fei Niao City.

Tang Miao and Mu Ningxue were not the only ones traveling with them; Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, Shao Yu, Yu Shishi also accompanied them.

Shao Yu was going to challenge Mu Ningxue, while Yu Shishi belonged to the Tang Clan, so they returned to Moon Snow Town together.

Shao Yu initially wanted to challenge Tang Miao, but after witnessing Tang Miao's terrifyingly powerful lightning, she lost all desire to humiliate herself...

The next challenge is to take on Mu Ningxue.

Mu Ningxue naturally refused to do something so pointless.

After all, she's very busy every day; where would she find the time to practice with her?

However, Tang Miao agreed on Mu Ningxue's behalf, but there were conditions. If Shao Yu lost, she would have to Tang Miao's clan.

Shao Yu was all alone, and wanting to challenge an opponent to prove herself, she didn't refuse.

Mu Ningxue was somewhat puzzled, but in his opinion, Tang Miao was definitely up to no good! Come to think of it, Mu Ningxue saw the same feeling in Shao Yu as he did... He had to admit, that scumbag was truly relentless!

Tang Miao was unaware of Mu Ningxue's thoughts. If she had known, she would have told her that the reason they wanted Shao Yu to join their family was simply to participate in the family rivalry when they went to the Donghai Magic Association!

The allocation of some resources was thus secured through the efforts of the younger members of the family. Of course, both Tang Miao and Mu Ningxue were still old enough to participate.

But... if both of them participate, wouldn't that mean the head of the family is only on par with the younger members of other aristocratic families?

After returning here, Tang Miao first arranged a competition between Mu Ningxue and Shao Yu... and the result was as expected.

Two days later, the group arrived at the headquarters of the Donghai Magic Association, Gulangyu Island at the mouth of the Minjiang River.

This exquisite southern island is not only a popular tourist destination, but also a relatively authoritative magical holy land along the eastern coast. Since the Donghai Magic Association is directly under the International Asian Dubai Magic Association, even though the Oriental Pearl Mage Tower is the largest magic headquarters in the country, it often has no right to interfere with the Donghai Magic Association.

Tang Miao has always disregarded forces that have established themselves in China but do not know how to obey their motherland.

At a fighting arena, people from all the major families had already arrived.

The competition here is all about vying for the vast profits from various mineral veins, secret crystals, and other resources.

The space here isn't very large, not even as big as the space where the Nationalist government took over the training grounds. However, it's still enough for the two people sparring to showcase their skills.

By this time, the members of several prominent families had almost finished their efforts, but when it came to the competition for the large crystal mine north of Fei Niao City towards the South Ridge Forest, Shao Yu from the Tang Clan stepped forward.

The Tang Clan's rival was the Da Li Family, a lackey of the Mu Clan.

Mu Ningxue originally wanted to send a boy named Tian Tingbu to the match, but Tang Miao rejected it and then said directly, "Shao Yu, you come."

Having become a member of the Tang Clan, Shao Yu didn't waste any words after hearing her SP boss's instructions and immediately got up to prepare for the game.

As for the Da Li Family, the person who took the stage was named Li Lingsheng.

"Young Miss, this..."

Mu Linsheng, formerly of the Mu Family and now a manager at the Tang Clan, hesitated when he saw Shao Yu, whom Tang Miao had arranged. In his opinion, she was just a pretty face... so he stopped her. After all, in his view, sending her into battle would be a waste.

Of course, this is also why he doesn't know Shao Yu's strength.

Presiding over this meeting of aristocratic families was Elder Lin Ze of the Donghai Magic Association. He still didn't give them much time to arrange things, turning directly to Mu Ningxue and saying, "Are you still going to compete? Hurry up!"

Although the family was founded by the Tang Clan, Mu Ningxue has always been the person in charge here. Therefore, in the eyes of others, this should be Mu Ningxue's territory. This is why this guy ignored Tang Miao and asked about Mu Ningxue's relationship.

"Stop talking nonsense, let her go!" Tang Miao said at this moment.

Mu Ningxue nodded in agreement and then said, "Don't worry."

Only now did she finally understand Tang Miao's intentions! It wasn't just that he was lustful; he also wanted to use Shao Yu's strength as an opportunity to win her over through a competition.

Of course, while this attempt to win over some people might seem a bit underhanded, it's still commendable in terms of strengthening our power!

"Who is this woman? She's quite my type!" Li Ling, who had already entered the arena, smiled smugly when she saw Shao Yu walk onto the stage.

Shao Yu's waist and sternum were very slender, but her breasts were surprisingly round and large. The amazing fullness could be seen from behind. Li Ling was a famous playboy, and his interest was piqued as soon as he saw Shao Yu.

Judging from this bastard's expression, Tang Miao felt an overwhelming urge to give him a good beating!

After all, this woman belongs to our family. Even if we can't take her ourselves, we won't allow any of those bastards from other powerful families to have designs on her!

"This little Tang Clan family is full of useless people. You are so young and beautiful, why stay in a small clan that will soon perish? Come to our Da Li Family. I can give you everything you want: the respect and admiration of those around you, the admiration of your relatives, countless cultivation resources, and luxurious magical tools and artifacts..." Li Ling hadn't even started fighting yet, but she had already begun to recruit them.

"I haven't even cast a single spell, so how can you be so sure I'm suitable for your Da Li Family?" Shao Yu found it somewhat amusing and asked in return.

"It doesn't matter. I'm strong enough, that's enough. I can decide who to train, and no one will object. Our Da Li Family has everything we need," Li Ling said with exceptional confidence.

"I don't know anything about the Da Li Family, but I can assure you that if you keep babbling on, my master will make sure you can't take care of yourself." Shao Yu turned around and glanced at Tang Miao, unusually showing a timid expression.

To be honest, Shao Yu was also very unhappy! After all, she had clearly been tricked by Tang Miao... although she had also taken the initiative to jump in.

So, we can cause Tang Miao some unnecessary trouble; we absolutely have to do it!

Li Ling paused, then looked towards Tang Miao and the others.

Of course, he was looking at Mu Ningxue. Because he also believed that Mu Ningxue was the one in charge of the Tang Clan. And the real leader was a fraud.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful Mu Ningxue, Li Ling felt another surge of lustful desire.

To be honest, he was quite interested in Mu Ningxue as well. After all, this woman was simply too alluring, especially her icy expression, which he found incredibly captivating. He really loved seeing a cold, aloof woman being transformed into a wanton little vixen.

That's incredibly satisfying to conquer!

But remembering what Shao Yu had said, he turned back and said, "No way, your master actually likes women??"

Shao Yu was taken aback upon hearing this!

Is there anything wrong with Tang Miao, that scumbag, liking women?

However, seeing him looking at Mu Ningxue, she realized that this idiot had no idea who the master was...

"You idiot, just do it. Talking to you is a waste of my time!" Shao Yu shouted without any politeness.

Li Ling was stunned, clearly not expecting this woman to dare insult him.

His face suddenly darkened, and his gaze gradually turned venomous.

He had initially intended to show mercy because she was so to his liking, but now it seemed that she wouldn't back down her unwarranted arrogance unless she tasted the bitterness of pain!

Then, the two began to bombard each other with magical depictions of Star Map and constellations. Because of her Sound Element nature, Shao Yu made it difficult for Li Ling to even draw Star Map. As a result, Shao Yu quickly knocked Shao Yu to the ground.

However, she naturally wouldn't let this go so easily. She then used high-level Plant Element magic. Instead of the usual Ghost Wood Hand, a huge, dark red trumpet-shaped flower appeared, as big as a beast's maw. It appeared at Li Ling's feet without warning and swallowed him whole before Li Ling could react at all!

Upon witnessing this, Li Hongmei of the Da Li Family roared angrily, "Stop!!"

Shao Yu did not stop immediately. She was in control of the situation and naturally wanted to teach the arrogant Li Ling a lesson.

However, Li Hongmei was completely enraged. She transformed into a black shadow and arrived behind Shao Yu at an extremely fast speed.

Shao Yu naturally noticed it too, but despite noticing it, Li Hongmei, in her anger, directly used magic to summon a giant, pillar-like rock. Shao Yu wasn't prepared at all... But the terrifying impact she had imagined didn't happen. Instead, she heard Li Hongmei scream in agony!

That's right, Tang Miao moved as soon as her opponent moved, and even faster! Just as she was about to attack Shao Yu, Tang Miao unleashed a lightning strike that scorched her to a crisp. And that was only because Tang Miao held back; otherwise, this woman would have been in serious trouble!

"How dare you! Where did this wild brat come from? What are you doing? Are you deliberately breaking the rules?!" Elder Lin Ze hadn't paid much attention when Li Hongmei made her move. However, he immediately realized what was happening the moment he saw her fly away.

"Are you fucking stupid? Is it wrong for me to protect my people? Can't you see that she broke the rules first?" Tang Miao had a temper, and she wouldn't tolerate this kind of behavior. She retorted directly.

Shao Yu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Tang Miao. She was overjoyed after hearing what he said. Frankly, she hadn't expected that Tang Miao would step forward when the Tang Clan needed to develop, and without any fear of the elders of the Donghai Magic Association.

"Li Hongmei is only acting out of love for her son, but your actions of injuring him and insulting this elder are against the rules!" Lin Ze said.

"I'm giving you one chance. Get the hell out of here, or I'll make sure you spend the rest of your life in a chair." Faced with such blatant favoritism, why should he be modest?

For this kind of person, the only solution is to use force to reason with them.

"Very well... What an arrogant little clan! How dare they threaten me?" Elder Lin Ze of the Donghai Magic Association said angrily, then looked at Mu Ningxue and said, "Mu Ningxue, your people are so presumptuous, don't you have anything to say?"

Mu Ningxue snorted coldly, staring intently at the elder, and said, "I think he's right."

"Very well, it seems you probably won't be attending the meetings for the next few days either."

After dismissing their statement, Lin Ze pointed at Tang Miao and said, "It seems that unless I teach you a lesson, you really won't know where you are."

This was the first time in all these years that Lin Ze had been provoked like this, and he was not going to tolerate it, especially since he was Super Level Mage!

"Bola, cripple him."

Although Tang Miao might not necessarily lose even if he took action himself, sometimes he should make people understand that although the Tang Clan is a small clan, it is not one that anyone can provoke.

"Yes, sir." With Tang Miao's command, the vampire Bola suddenly appeared in front of everyone. A long black leather trench coat covered almost all of him, revealing only a pair of red leather shoes and a pale face.

He was indeed a little flustered by the sudden appearance of Bola, but that didn't mean he would let Tang Miao go.

"Whoosh~"

A light, almost imperceptible breeze swept by. Elder Lin Ze was about to make a move when, unexpectedly, the man in the black leather trench coat appeared behind him. A strange smile and a dangerous aura simultaneously enveloped him, instantly sending chills down his spine and making him break out in a cold sweat!

Bola could easily handle a renowned Super Level Mage like Pang Lai, let alone Lin Ze, a Super Level Mage with no reputation whatsoever.

Almost from the moment the fight started, it was a one-sided massacre!

Elder Lin Ze was beaten so badly by the vampire Bola that the other noble families present, including some from the Magic Association, were somewhat panicked.

The Nan Rong Family, in particular, were utterly terrified... This was, after all, an elder of the Magic Association! Tang Miao had actually attacked without warning?

Do you think the other side can just attack them whenever they want, these lackeys of the Mu Clan?
