The Eighth Place on the Golden List Exposed! Neuvillette Exposes Tang San!

Xue Di's pair of perfect, jade-like legs were exposed to the air without any concealment.

One of Neuvillette's hands was nonchalantly toying with that crystal-clear, jade-like foot.

His fingertips gently rubbed over the delicate ankle, causing the beauty in his arms to let out a light shiver from time to time.

"Hmph, shameless."

Furina sat cross-legged on the carpet nearby, holding a piece of cake in her hand. While her words expressed disdain, her large eyes darted back and forth between the two of them.

"Is this what they call the 'world of adults'?"

"Neuvillette, you have fallen."

Neuvillette turned a deaf ear to this.

He didn't even lift his eyelids, merely increasing the pressure of his movements slightly, which provoked a soft hum from Xue Di as she buried her face deeper.

His gaze fell upon the corner of the room.

There, stood a crystal-clear ice sculpture.

Inside the ice sculpture, the young girl with a scorpion braid still maintained an expression of terror and despair, looking incredibly lifelike.

"This is a bit troublesome."

Neuvillette looked at Xiao Wu inside the ice sculpture, his other hand gently stroking his chin.

"How did this rabbit end up being brought back?"

"Having this thing in the house feels a bit dull."

A small green head poked out from the doorway.

Bing Di glanced timidly at Neuvillette, then at the favored Xue Di, a flash of envy crossing her eyes before she glared fiercely at the ice sculpture.

"My lord, why not just kill her?"

Bing Di walked in, her face full of murderous intent:

"Keeping her is just a nuisance; it would be easier to just slaughter her."

Hearing this, Neuvillette shook his head slightly.

"Kill?"

"That would be too wasteful."

He withdrew his gaze, his fingers still gently drawing circles on the sole of Xue Di's foot.

"To just kill this rabbit like this would be a bit of a waste of a good thing."

Furina swallowed the cake in her mouth and curiously leaned in.

"Soul Beast?"

"Are you saying that this girl who looks like a human is actually a rabbit?"

She circled the ice sculpture twice, clicking her tongue in wonder.

"She doesn't look like one, aside from that braid being a bit tacky."

Neuvillette chuckled, his eyes filled with a touch of playfulness.

"She is not as simple as just a rabbit."

"She is also the 'catalyst' for someone."

"A catalyst?" Furina tilted her head, looking puzzled.

Neuvillette shifted into a more comfortable position and said unhurriedly:

"Speaking of this, one has to mention the so-called Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao, and his good son, Tang San."

"This father and son duo certainly have a 'tradition' passed down through their lineage."

Xue Di raised her head at this moment, her ice-blue eyes filled with a trace of confusion.

"What tradition?"

Neuvillette's fingers gently slid down Xue Di's spine, his tone flat, yet he spoke of the most heart-stopping secrets:

"Back then, that guy Tang Hao knew full well that Martial Soul Hall was hunting Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, yet he insisted on taking Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Empress who had just transformed, running around everywhere."

"In the end, they were surrounded by Martial Soul Hall. With no way out, Ah Yin 'voluntarily' sacrificed herself, becoming Tang Hao's ninth soul ring."

"It allowed him to break through to the Title Douluo realm in one fell swoop, and even challenge those of higher ranks."

"What a profitable deal that was."

A mocking curve appeared at the corner of Neuvillette's mouth.

"The wife is dead, the soul ring is obtained, the soul bone is obtained, and the reputation is also secured."

The room fell into a silence.

Furina opened her mouth wide, forgetting even to eat the cake in her hand.

"That is just... too shameless, isn't it?"

"And what about this rabbit?"

Neuvillette pointed toward the ice sculpture.

"This is the masterpiece of that good son, Tang San."

"Like father, like son."

"He also found a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to fall in love with, and he spends all day dragging her around everywhere."

"And what's even more interesting is that he also took two Hundred-Thousand-Year Forest Kings as his lackeys."

"Just like that, he has three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts."

"This business venture is even bigger than his father's."

Crack—

A crisp sound rang out.

The jade cup in Xue Di's hand instantly turned into powder.

She sat up from Neuvillette's embrace, her beautiful face covered in frost.

As the sovereign of the Far North and a pinnacle existence among the soul beasts, what she hated most was this kind of despicable human calculation.

One hundred thousand years of cultivation—how difficult that was.

After finally transforming into human form to see the world, one ends up as "livestock" kept in captivity by others.

"Damn them!"

Xue Di's voice was filled with bone-chilling coldness.

"These two humans are nothing but animals!"

"That Ah Yin... is her soul still there?"

Neuvillette nodded calmly.

"It is."

"Plant-type soul beasts have tenacious vitality; even after sacrificing themselves, as long as there is a seed, they can slowly recover."

"However, she should be planted in some cave by Tang Hao right now, being raised like a potted plant."

Xue Di stood up abruptly, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

"I am going to save her."

"As a fellow soul beast, I cannot watch her suffer such torment."

Neuvillette reached out, gently grabbed Xue Di's wrist, and pulled her back into his arms.

"What's the rush?"

He gently patted Xue Di's back, soothing the ruffled big cat.

"We don't need to go looking for them."

"This rabbit is in our hands now."

Neuvillette glanced at the ice sculpture, his tone certain:

"Given the personalities of that father and son, for the sake of this piece of fat meat right at their mouths, they will definitely deliver themselves to our doorstep."

"When that time comes, you can vent your anger however you like."

"As for that Ah Yin..."

Neuvillette paused, his tone casual:

"Let fate decide."

"If that Tang Hao brings the seed with him, it wouldn't hurt to save her while we're at it."

"There's no need to make a special trip for something like that."

Xue Di leaned against Neuvillette's chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, and the anger in her heart gradually subsided.

That's right.

With him here.

No matter how those clowns scheme, in the end, it will all be for nothing.

Just then.

The sky outside the window lit up once again.

Neuvillette looked up, gazing through the massive floor-to-ceiling window at the golden ranking list.

"Something new is appearing."

Rumble—

Golden light tore through the clouds.

New text, carrying a sacred and majestic aura, slowly emerged.

[Continent Rare Treasure Ranking, 8th place.]

[Holder: Qian Renxue.]

[Treasure: Angel Sacred Sword.]

Immediately following, a longsword radiating brilliant golden light appeared within the frame.

The blade was slender, engraved with intricate and sacred angel inscriptions.

Every single inscription seemed to contain the radiance of the sun, making one dare not look directly at it.

[Effect: Divine Artifact of the Angel God.]

[Divine Judgment: Deals double damage to all evil and dark-attribute creatures, accompanied by a purification effect that cannot be dispelled.]

[Angel Domain: Expands a domain where all attributes of allies are increased by thirty percent, enemy soul power consumption is doubled, and they suffer continuous sacred burning.]

[Sun's Attraction: Can draw upon the True Fire of the Sun to launch a devastating strike; it cannot be extinguished by ordinary fire until the target is reduced to ashes.]
