Inside the Blue Silver Emperor Gold Shield, Qian Renxue kept attacking for quite some time. Only when she saw that it had no effect did she stop.
With her Soul Power severely depleted, she could no longer even maintain her disguise, revealing her stunningly beautiful face and curvaceous figure. Sweat soaked her white shirt, making it cling to her contours as she panted heavily.
"Tang San, do you think you can win like this?"
"You've only trapped me, not defeated me. Once I get out, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
"If you submit to me now, I can let bygones be bygones. Even if you're from the Clear Sky Sect, it doesn't matter. I can even hand Spirit Hall over to you!"
During their exchange just now, Qian Renxue had already discovered that Tang San possessed the Clear Sky Hammer. However, the strength he had displayed had stirred her appreciation for talent, and she was willing to set everything aside to recruit him.
However, Qian Renxue seemed to have gotten one thing wrong.
She was the one trapped now, not Tang San.
Hearing this, Tang San sneered.
Looks like I haven't beaten Qian Renxue into submission yet.
Tang San knew perfectly well what Qian Renxue was like: supremely conceited, with no regard for anyone else. Calling her all breasts and no brains was not wrong in the slightest. But defeating Qian Renxue was practically the same as subduing her.
People with that sort of personality would often become exceptionally docile once subdued.
"The outcome's already decided. Do you still not understand?"
As he spoke, Tang San willed the Blue Silver Emperor Gold Shield to shrink rapidly, wrapping tightly around Qian Renxue's delicate body.
A shapely figure tightly bound in Blue Silver Grass immediately fell to the floor. Tang San walked forward and loosened the Blue Silver Grass at the top, exposing Qian Renxue's flushed face. Her wet hair stuck to her forehead, and her beautiful eyes stared fixedly into his.
"You!"
"Let me go right now!"
Qian Renxue roared, her Soul Power erupting. Yet she discovered in astonishment that her previously unstoppable Angel Soul Power, capable of dissolving all things, was completely ineffective. The more she struggled, the tighter the bindings became.
"Damn it..."
With a smile on his lips, Tang San patted Qian Renxue's cheek.
"Well? Do you know who won now?"
"You wouldn't listen when I told you earlier. Did I really have to beat you before you'd submit?"
"A Soul Saint couldn't beat a Soul Emperor like me. Was anything I said earlier wrong?"
If her defeat had already shattered the pride Qian Renxue had always held, Tang San's words now struck straight at her heart. Though her body was tightly bound, her chest kept heaving, and she let out several indignant cries.
"You..."
"I was careless this time! If I hadn't wasted my time in the Heaven Dou Empire, I would never have lost to you!"
Hearing this, Tang San rolled his eyes. "Now you know to regret it? Too late!"
"And that Usurpation Plan—weren't you so proud of it earlier?"
"What use is all this talk? You've lost now. Earlier, you wanted me to submit to you. Now I have a question for you too."
"Will you submit?"
As he spoke, Tang San gripped Qian Renxue's chin and looked straight at her beautiful face. He said calmly, "Sooner or later, I'll become the Pope of Spirit Hall. When that time comes, I don't want troublemakers like you in Spirit Hall."
Qian Renxue kept writhing like a fish and shot Tang San a fierce glare.
"Pah! Impossible!"
"Do you know who I am? I carry the Qian Family's bloodline and am the inheritor of the Angel Martial Soul. Sooner or later, I'll become a god."
"I won't even acknowledge that madwoman Bibi Dong, much less you!"
Tang San rubbed his chin, his gaze gradually turning unfriendly.
"Looks like I haven't beaten you into submission yet."
As he spoke, he turned Qian Renxue over.
Feeling his large hand moving over her body, Qian Renxue immediately panicked. Her face flushed crimson, and she cried out in alarm, "You... what are you going to do?"
"What am I going to do?"
Tang San chuckled. "When you do something wrong, you have to be punished. The Qian Family can't keep you in line, and the Pope can't keep you in line, so I will!"
"I'll make you understand just how outrageously wrong you are!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San brought his palm down without holding back in the slightest.
After that slap, even he could not help marveling at how good Qian Renxue's figure was. It had actually bounced his hand away.
"Ah!"
Qian Renxue cried out, tears spilling from the pain.
"Tang San! Have you fucking lost your mind? How dare you treat me like this!"
"I'll kill you!"
Hearing that, Tang San raised an eyebrow.
Oh? Still daring to hiss at me?
She really doesn't think anything of me.
There was still some time before the Blue Silver Emperor Gold Shield expired anyway, so Tang San was in no hurry. He swung his large hand again and brought it down hard.
Smack!
Smack!
Smack!
A series of crisp sounds echoed continuously through the room. Each time his hand landed, Qian Renxue cried out in pain.
It was only because she normally presented herself as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe that no one had rushed in already.
The servants passing by whispered among themselves, chatting as though they had discovered some juicy gossip.
"To think His Highness the Crown Prince would do that too... heh heh."
"I really wonder whose daughter is so fortunate to have caught the Crown Prince's eye."
What they did not know was that the "fortunate" woman right now was none other than the Crown Prince they were talking about.
Inside the room, Tang San was getting a little tired, so he rested his hand on Qian Renxue's body for a moment.
Beneath him, Qian Renxue had already cried herself out of strength. In all her life, this was the first time anyone had beaten her in such a humiliating way.
He had only rested for a short while when the Blue Silver Emperor Gold Shield reached its time limit and dissolved on its own. Tang San raised an eyebrow and casually gave her a squeeze.
Feeling that strange sensation, Qian Renxue cried out again. Then a cold gleam flashed through her eyes, and she flipped over, climbing on top of Tang San.
"I want you dead!"
Two tear tracks still marked her face, and her bottom burned with pain. All her former pride and conceit had been shattered in the most humiliating way, something she found impossible to accept.
Qian Renxue wanted to release her Martial Soul, but her earlier struggles had already consumed most of her Soul Power. Now, she could not even form the Sacred Sword.
Seeing this, Tang San chuckled softly and took back control, patting Qian Renxue's cheek.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Young Lady Qian, take some time to recuperate."
"I hope this incident teaches you a lesson. I want you to remember that in front of me, you'll always be the loser. Don't entertain any foolish ideas!"
"Remember, don't oppose me again."
After speaking, Tang San stood up. He had already done more or less enough today. If he went any harder, he was genuinely afraid Qian Renxue would explode at him, and then the losses would outweigh the gains.
He was in no hurry for now anyway. The greatest pleasure lay in the process of taming a wild horse. Watching a once-proud wild horse lower its head step by step was the most satisfying part.
After Tang San left the room, the servants watching nearby were immediately dumbfounded. What the fuck was going on? Hadn't they heard a woman's voice just now? Why had a man come out?
Before they could figure out what was happening, Xue Qinghe's low voice came from inside the room.
"If anyone breathes a word about what happened today, I'll kill their entire family!"
