The Hong Family's Final Arrogance!

"Is that so?"

Han Xue touched her burning cheeks, unaware that Xiao Ze's hands had already wrapped around her slender waist.

Feeling those strong, powerful hands, Han Xue's face turned crimson in an instant, like the sunset clouds on the horizon. She froze in place, completely at a loss.

"You clearly have feelings for me, so why not just say it?" Xiao Ze applied a gentle pressure, and Han Xue was pulled into his embrace.

"I—I didn't dare." Han Xue had never encountered such a situation; she was like a startled little rabbit, left with no choice but to submit.

And Xiao Ze was, without a doubt, the big bad wolf—the kind that devours people without even spitting out the bones.

"What is there to be afraid of? Do you think I'd actually eat you?" The corners of Xiao Ze's mouth curled upward.

Their eyes met, and as they felt each other's breath, their hearts began to pound uncontrollably.

"Your heart is beating so fast," Xiao Ze chuckled softly.

Han Xue could barely hold herself together; in front of Xiao Ze, she felt she was destined to be teased.

Just as she was wondering what to do, Xiao Ze leaned in and kissed her. Feeling the touch of his lips, Han Xue's mind went blank.

Is it starting already?

However, Xiao Ze didn't give her a chance to react, pushing her onto the bed and beginning their little game for two.

Han Xue resisted instinctively, but how could her delicate frame be a match for Xiao Ze?

Any struggle on her part was nothing more than a feigned refusal that only invited more.

Everything was understood without a word.

"Han Xue, are you willing to marry me?" Feeling their breathing grow heavy, Xiao Ze looked at her delicate face and asked.

"I—I am willing."

Now that Xiao Ze had asked her personally, what reason did she have to refuse?

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for taking the SS-rank Han Xue as a wife. Marriage rewards are being distributed...]

[Ding! Marriage reward distributed: Tier 7 Alchemist Talent!]

[Ding! Marriage dowry distributed: Dou Sheng Inheritance, Heaven-tier Low-grade Dou Skill: Phoenix Soaring Sword!]

"Don't worry, you won't suffer by being with me," Xiao Ze said with a light laugh.

He then continued to kiss her.

With the Dou Sheng inheritance and the Heaven-tier Dou Skill, she would have enough self-preservation ability even if he weren't by her side in the future.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Tianbei City, at the Hong Family.

The disappearance of the clan elder soon reached the ears of the Hong Family head, Hong Li.

"How arrogant!"

Hong Li was instantly consumed by rage.

Their elder had vanished within the Han Family; anyone could tell it was the work of the Han Family. But did they think they could get away with it just by destroying the evidence? They were underestimating him, Hong Li!

"Summon the clan elders immediately! I will go to the Han Family myself to demand an explanation!" Hong Li's gaze seemed to spit fire, his voice a roar.

"Yes!" The subordinate hurried away.

In this Tianbei City, anyone who dared to kill an elder of his Hong Family had more than just a little bit of nerve!

As far as he was concerned, there was no longer any need for the Han Family to exist!

The next morning, in the Han Family guest quarters.

The two on the bed were still enjoying their intimate activities.

"Brother Xiao, let's stop here for today." Han Xue nestled in his arms, her voice tinged with exhaustion.

"That's fine. You worked hard last night," Xiao Ze said, gently patting her shoulder.

Her soft, supple waist was truly a delight to hold.

Han Xue lay quietly in his arms, feeling wonderful. She had never expected to catch the eye of Brother Xiao, and the fact that he was so interested in her—otherwise, he wouldn't have been so vigorous last night—made her heart flutter.

Just as they were enjoying this moment of peace, a roar suddenly rolled in, exploding over the Han Family estate.

"Han Chi, return the life of my clan elder!"

In an instant, the entire Han Family was thrown into panic.

The Hong Family had come for revenge!

"Brother Xiao!" Han Xue's body tensed, her eyes filled with fear.

The Hong Family was like a massive mountain pressing down on the Han Family, making it impossible to breathe.

"Set your heart at ease. I am here," Xiao Ze comforted her softly before quickly putting on his clothes.

Disturbing his mood early in the morning had ignited a nameless fire in Xiao Ze's heart.

High above the Han Family, the family head Han Chi led his people to stand in confrontation with the Hong Family.

The Hong Family head, Hong Li, possessed the cultivation of a Half-step Dou Zong, while the Han Family head, Han Chi, was a peak Nine-star Dou Emperor, only a thin line away from the Half-step Dou Zong realm.

However, the opponent's Dou Emperor experts were clearly superior to their own.

Therefore, their momentum was significantly weaker right from the start.

Han Chi cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I wonder what business brings the Hong Family head to my Han Family with such a grand display?"

"Han Chi, don't play dumb with me!" Seeing Han Chi's reaction, Hong Li was instantly enraged and demanded, "Did you kill my Hong Family elder?"

Facing the interrogation, Han Chi wore a troubled expression and apologized, "Your Hong Family elder did indeed die within my Han Family grounds, but he was not killed by this old man."

"Good, good, good! Han Chi, you have some nerve, daring to kill my Hong Family elder. Initially, I intended to let your two daughters marry my son so we could become in-laws, but it seems there is no need for that now!" Hong Li was practically exploding with rage.

In this Tianbei City, he had always been the only one allowed to be arrogant; when was it the Han Family's turn to climb over his head?

"Kill them all, leave no one alive!" Hong Li shouted coldly.

Immediately, the group behind him drew their weapons, prepared to bathe the Han Family in blood. To their surprise, however, the Han Family did not seem panicked at all, especially given the playful glint in their eyes.

Han Chi stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and composed, completely disregarding these people.

The Hong Family members could not care less; they truly did not believe the Han Family's background could be greater than the Wind Lightning Pavilion.

Countless auras of Dou Qi surged into the sky, and the terrifying pressure was felt not just by the Han Family, but by the entire vast Tianbei City, which could sense the immense murderous intent.

"Disturbing someone's sleep early in the morning—I think your Hong Family has reached its end."

Just then, a clear and powerful voice echoed softly.

An invisible force suddenly surged forth, perfectly intercepting the collective strike of the group.

The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned.

Han Chi became respectful, cupping his hands toward the guest room downstairs and apologizing, "Young Friend Xiao Ze, it is my fault for disturbing your rest."

Hong Li, meanwhile, was dumbfounded. For the old immortal Han Chi to be this respectful, the newcomer was likely a true Dou Zong expert.

"Go quickly and invite the Hong Family ancestor." He gave the order quietly.

Hong Li and the rest of the Hong Family cast their gazes toward that guest room.

A man in green robes was seen having just finished dressing, walking slowly toward the crowd.

He did not manifest Dou Qi wings, but instead walked through the air—a Dou Zong without a doubt. Behind him was Han Xue.

At this moment, a faint flush still lingered on her beautiful face.

Seeing this, Hong Chen, who was behind Hong Li, flew into a rage; his woman had actually been slept with by someone else!

"Where did this wild brat come from? You dare to sleep with my woman? I think you're tired of living!"

Before he could continue his arrogance, a single look from Hong Li made him swallow his words.

"Your Excellency, this is a grievance between my Hong Family and the Han Family. I ask that you give my Hong Family some face!"

Hong Li had to be cautious when dealing with a Dou Zong expert.

He himself was only a half-step Dou Zong, making him exceptionally sensitive to the aura of a Dou Zong.

This youth was unfathomable!

He was far beyond his ability to contend with.

What shocked him most was that the other party was so young; compared to him, his own son was far inferior.

Hearing this, Xiao Ze smiled faintly, "The Han Family is the home of my father-in-law. You want me to give you face? Who do you think the Hong Family is!"

Hong Li's expression turned gloomy. When had his Hong Family ever suffered such humiliation? This was simply too bullying!

On the other hand, upon hearing the term "father-in-law," Han Chi's heart skipped a beat, and he nearly fell from the sky.

Xiao Ze had truly given him a surprise.

"Your Excellency, my son is an inner sect disciple of the Wind Lightning North Pavilion!" Hong Li refused to give up, directly bringing up the Wind Lightning Pavilion.

Little did he know, Xiao Ze did not care, "Even if the Pavilion Master of the Wind Lightning Pavilion came himself, I would say the exact same thing!"

Having no interest in wasting his breath on this trash, Xiao Ze's gaze locked first onto Hong Chen behind Hong Li, "Was it you who was insulting us just now?"

Pinned by that sharp gaze, Hong Chen felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His entire body turned cold, and his eight-star Dou Emperor cultivation was extinguished in that instant.

He shook his head desperately, but the only thing that greeted him was a ruthless finger.
