In the Star Luo Empire's Zhu Family, Zhu Zhuqing's sister Zhu Zhuyun and her husband Dai Weisi stared blankly at Zhu Zhuqing on the Light Screen.
For some reason, they had a feeling that after today, their futures and Zhu Zhuqing's would be worlds apart. From now on, Zhu Zhuqing would be a True Dragon soaring above the Nine Heavens, while they would remain ants struggling in the mud.
"My little sister-in-law truly is someone blessed with great fortune."
Dai Weisi sighed, feeling slightly bitter inside.
If Zhu Zhuqing had been the one married to him back then instead of Zhu Zhuyun, how wonderful would that have been!
Perhaps he could have ridden Zhu Zhuqing's coattails and risen to greatness by now.
But then again, who could have expected something like this to happen at the time...
After all, at that point, no matter how one looked at it, marrying Zhu Zhuyun brought him far greater benefits than marrying Zhu Zhuqing.
As for now, it was too late to say anything.
Of course, Dai Weisi was not truly that regretful. Zhu Zhuyun was wonderful too, after all. No matter what, he was still better off than certain readers who were single to this day... ((￢‸￢)?)
Elsewhere, at Shrek Academy, Tang San emerged from the restroom, his face deathly pale. His legs were weak as he trembled and supported himself against the wall. The moment he looked up, he saw Zhu Zhuqing being bombarded with questions by the little brats of Stone Village on the Light Screen. His expression turned incomparably complicated, and he could not help shifting his gaze to the others.
Other than staring at Dai Mubai's Light Screen window for quite some time, he quickly looked away from everyone else, even from his Great-Grandfather Tang Chen's Light Screen window.
"Why? Why do they all get to live so comfortably while I have to endure such unbearable agony?"
At the thought of the excruciating pain from using the restroom earlier, pain so intense it seemed to bore into the cracks of his bones, he could not stop himself from shuddering.
It hurt. It really hurt too much!!!
Seeing this, Xiao Wu, who had been waiting at the entrance for a long time, hurried forward to support Tang San and asked with concern.
"San Ge, are you alright? Why is your face so pale? Did it really hurt that much?"
Tang San shot Xiao Wu a speechless glance.
Could you please remove the word "did"? It hurt so badly he could die!
He decided that he would have Oscar get rid of Young Brother completely right now!
A man's dignity, Xiao Wu's happiness—everything could get the hell out of his way now!
Usually, it only ached faintly, and he could endure it until it passed. But whenever he used the restroom, that exhilarating torment of wanting to pee but not daring to, and having his soul ascend from pain the moment he did, was something Tang San did not want to experience for even another second!
"Xiao Wu, I'm sorry."
Amid Xiao Wu's confusion, Tang San weakly apologized to her. Then he shoved her aside and staggered toward Oscar's room as fast as his unsteady steps could carry him.
"Oscar! Open the door! Save me! Please help me one more time!"
"As long as you help me this time, I will definitely repay you in the future!"
Elsewhere, Tang Chen, who was being chased into the skies and driven into the earth by a Fierce beast, suddenly shuddered. A feeling that the Tang Family was about to lose its bloodline surged into his heart.
"Just an illusion, I suppose..."
Tang Chen slightly turned his head and glanced at the Fierce beast that was nearly catching up to him, continuously calculating how he could escape its pursuit.
He had only eaten an Immortal Herb. Was there really a need to chase him for three days and three nights?!
Boom!
Just as Tang Chen was considering whether to charge into some dangerous area and shake off the Fierce beast, an attack suddenly descended. If he had not remained vigilant of his surroundings and immediately dodged the instant he noticed it, that attack would likely have killed him along with the Fierce beast behind him!
"Which bastard ambushed me? Get out here!"
Tang Chen roared. Spiritual Power surged in his hand, taking the form of the Clear Sky Hammer.
In truth, Tang Chen had not expected that replacing the Soul Power of the Douluo Continent with the Spiritual Power of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands would still allow him to condense the Clear Sky Hammer, the world's number one Tool Spirit. Its power was even incomparably greater than a Clear Sky Hammer formed from Soul Power.
However, that level of strength was basically negligible to cultivators of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. If he had possessed any weapon worth using, he would not have resorted to something as low-grade as a Martial Soul...
"Oh? Interesting. His cultivation is very low, but his reactions are sharp, and his combat experience is remarkably rich."
Several figures descended, led by a young woman dressed in a long blue-and-white gown.
She was the one who had spoken just now.
"Why did you ambush me?!"
Tang Chen was truly enraged. If his reaction had been any slower and he had failed to dodge in time, he would have become a pile of mangled flesh by now, just like the Fierce beast that had been killed behind him!
"Insolence! Old man! Do you know who you are speaking to?!"
Before the young woman could speak, one of the servants behind her spoke first. The powerful aura of the Hole Heaven Realm pressed down ruthlessly upon Tang Chen, and in an instant, Tang Chen's fury burned even hotter.
Damn it, this was the consequence of lacking strength!
Tang Chen clenched his teeth until they creaked, nearly biting them hard enough to draw blood.
If this were the Douluo Continent, with his strength as a level 99 Peerless Douluo at the very pinnacle of the Douluo Continent, who would dare act so presumptuously!
But this was the Barren Region, where every cultivator was absurdly powerful. His little bit of strength was simply not enough before these experts!
Moreover, this woman clearly possessed an extraordinary identity. Otherwise, even one of her servants would not have the strength of the Hole Heaven Realm!
Though his strength was indeed inferior to theirs, that did not mean he would swallow his anger and endure humiliation!
Tang Chen took a step forward, his eyes blazing as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Who the hell cares who you are! I'm asking you right now—why did you ambush me?!"
"You! Bastard!"
The servant of the Hole Heaven Realm could no longer endure it. He attacked directly, arriving before Tang Chen in an instant. Without giving Tang Chen a chance to react, he grinned viciously and smashed the Clear Sky Hammer apart with a single punch. His fist continued onward, effortlessly blasting Tang Chen away and sending him crashing into an ancient tree nearby, snapping it in half!
"Our young lady is Miss Yu Zimo, one of the Yu Clan's Two Talents, the other Young Supreme of the Yu Clan who stands alongside Shi Yi, the Double-Pupiled one, as his equal! The young lady saved your life, yet not only are you ungrateful, you dare speak to her with such an attitude? How can you be spared!"
"Hmph! What Yu Clan's Two Talents? I've never even heard of them!"
Tang Chen struggled to rise from the ground, spat out the blood in his mouth, and stared at the servant who bullied others through his master's influence with killing intent.
If this were the Douluo Continent, he could crush countless ants like this with one hand. Yet now, he did not even have the power to fight back. A dragon swimming in shallow waters was mocked by shrimp; a tiger fallen onto the plains was bullied by dogs.
"Oh? You've got some nerve! You still dare glare at me? Are you tired of living?!"
To be honest, Ye, the Yu Clan cultivator, had truly been startled by Tang Chen's gaze. But he quickly recovered. A mere Blood Transporting Realm cultivator was nothing more than trash he could knead and flatten however he pleased!
"Old man, since you're seeking death yourself, don't blame me. When you get down there, remember my name: Yu Tian, cultivator of the Yu Clan!"
With that, Spiritual Power surged in Yu Tian's hand as he prepared to deliver Tang Chen the final blow!
