Wang Shengnan

Little Shaggy said, "Meng Jiao, you're taking pleasure in his misfortune!"

Hearing this, Meng Jiao turned and asked, "Meng Liu, aren't you taking pleasure in his misfortune too?"

Meng Liu grinned. "Fine! I am taking pleasure in his misfortune."

The two exchanged a glance and burst out laughing together.

Neither of them paid any attention to Shi Shengtian, who had just been slapped.

Because neither of them liked him much.

He had little skill, yet was unbearably arrogant.

When Chou Yuan heard them mention Meng Long, a smile also appeared on his face.

Among all the students he had taught over the decades, Meng Long was the most outstanding.

Innate soul power level nine!

His martial soul was the mutated Dragon King Spear! The handle was coiled like a dragon, while the Snake Blade was like a serpent.

He had undoubtedly inherited the strengths of the Meng Family's dragon and snake martial souls, which was why he possessed the talent of innate soul power level nine.

He looked toward Si Tingxuan, who had already gone far away, and murmured, "Though he may not be your equal, he will definitely be someone who can pursue you for a lifetime. When both of you reach the pinnacle of your lives, there will surely be a battle between you." But would Si Tingxuan care?

No.

Whether it was the Shi Family or this mentor, they were merely passing figures in his eyes.

Thus, early the next morning, he left with the others.

Time passed bit by bit.

The rising sun of the morning had now become an evening sun about to set.

They were not far from Noble Wind City!

But the carriage suddenly sped up.

Si Tingxuan frowned. What's going on now?

Long Wu and Hua Qingluo also noticed the abnormality, their eyes filled with confusion.

Hua Qingluo lifted the carriage curtain and stuck her head out, asking Hua Wufeng, "Second Grandfather, why did you suddenly speed up? We're almost there, there's no need to rush!"

Hua Wufeng said, "We have to hurry! It looks like your Sister Meng Xin is being chased by people from the Oriental Family!"

"What?!"

Hua Qingluo was startled and looked ahead.

Sure enough, four or five people ahead of them were chasing two others.

One of the two was a woman dressed entirely in fiery red.

And in all of Wise Peak City, the most famous woman dressed in fiery red was Hua Mengxin of the Hua Family.

More importantly, she and Hua Mengxin had been close since childhood, so she recognized her at a glance just from her back.

Anger rose on Hua Qingluo's face as she shouted, "What are those people from the Oriental Family trying to do?!"

Even a fool could tell that these people chasing Hua Mengxin were up to no good.

"Teacher!"

Hua Qingluo was so anxious that tears were about to fall.

Because they were about to catch up to Hua Mengxin.

But it was already too late for them to catch up.

She could only helplessly seek help from Si Tingxuan.

Si Tingxuan glanced at her and said, "Remember well how it feels to see your family in danger while being powerless to do anything. Then grow stronger."

Up ahead, Hua Mengxin and one of her companions were running for their lives.

Chasing them from behind were Dongfang Jiao of the Oriental Family and his lackeys.

As he ran, he laughed wildly. "Hua Mengxin, you can't escape today. You're destined to moan beneath me, hahaha!"

"Brothers, chase them! Whoever catches her first will be rewarded with one thousand Gold Soul Coins."

"Got it, Young Master Jiao. Just watch us. Today, even if we have to tie her up, we'll drag her to your bed."

"But Young Master Jiao, Hua Mengxin belongs to you. The teammate beside her may not be as pretty as she is, but she isn't bad either. How about leaving her for us to enjoy?"

"I only want Hua Mengxin. You can do whatever you want with the rest. But when the time comes, we can compare and see who lasts longer. Hahaha!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Young Master Jiao, that's a fine suggestion."

"What a bunch of beasts."

Hua Mengxin and her teammate Wang Shengnan, who were running ahead, nearly ground their teeth to pieces when they heard Dongfang Jiao and the others behind them.

Yet fear also rose uncontrollably in their hearts.

From their words alone, they could tell what awaited them if they were caught.

They looked ahead.

Although Wise Peak City was not far away, if this continued, they would likely be caught before reaching it.

What awaited them would be—

Hua Mengxin turned to look at Wang Shengnan, whose face had already gone pale with fright, and gritted her teeth.

She suddenly stopped.

Her martial soul, the Phoenix Flame Mystic Blossom Staff, appeared in her hand.

At the same time, two yellow soul rings rose from her body.

Wang Shengnan cried out, "Mengxin, why did you stop?"

Hua Mengxin said, "Run! I'll hold them off. Don't look back, no matter what."

"No, we leave together!"

Wang Shengnan immediately stopped as well. She raised her right hand, and a Ghost Vine appeared in it.

Then, two yellow soul rings likewise rose from her body.

As she watched Dongfang Jiao's group draw closer and closer, her face was deathly pale, and her body trembled slightly.

She was clearly terrified.

Yet her gaze was exceptionally resolute!

She lightly bit her lip, looking ready to risk everything.

"Shengnan."

People's hearts were difficult to discern, but they were fully revealed in moments of life-and-death crisis.

Hua Mengxin was deeply moved, and tears unknowingly streamed down her face.

"Go. You were dragged into this because of me in the first place. There's no need for you to stay behind."

Wang Shengnan became even more determined. "No."

Hua Mengxin said, "Are you stupid?"

Wang Shengnan forced out a smile uglier than tears, then pointed at Dongfang Jiao, who had already caught up. "It's too late to run now."

"Tsk, tsk. I truly didn't expect you, Wang Shengnan, to be so loyal. It seems I, Dongfang Jiao, underestimated you."

One of the lackeys behind him immediately chimed in, "I didn't expect it either. But seeing how loyal you are, we'll be gentler with you."

"Slurp."

Those bastards stared at Wang Shengnan's body, drooling with lecherous expressions.

At the same time, the others spread out and surrounded Hua Mengxin and Wang Shengnan.

Wang Shengnan's already pale face grew even whiter, completely bloodless.

She looked like someone who had been ill for a long time.

"Bastards. Disgusting! Shengnan, don't be afraid. Even if we die, we'll take a couple of them down with us."

As Hua Mengxin spoke, she gritted her teeth in hatred.

"Mm."

At this moment, Wang Shengnan also fully understood that they probably truly could not escape today.

In despair, a person either completely collapsed or completely went berserk.

Her timid gaze turned sharp and fierce.

And her target was the lackey whose foul mouth was beyond endurance.

Her first soul ring instantly lit up. "First Soul Ring Skill—Poisonous Thorns!"

Whoosh!

The other side had clearly not expected Wang Shengnan to strike first under such circumstances.

What they had not expected even more was that Hua Mengxin had such perfect coordination with her, as though their hearts were connected.

The instant Wang Shengnan attacked, Hua Mengxin's first soul ring also lit up. "First Soul Ring Skill—Phoenix Flame Assault!"
