Wei Dong's face turned red and pale alternately, his body stiffened in place, unable to move forward or backward.
Well, Liu Yuren only threatened him with robbery, but Gu Xuanhong was even more ruthless! He even wanted to change his ancestors! These two! Who said they were the dragons and phoenixes among people? Who said they were generous, kind-hearted, and resolute?
Those people had never seen their unscrupulous and bandit-like side in private!
Wei Dong simply sat down, glanced at Liu Yuren, then at Gu Xuanhong, and fell silent.
For a moment, the three of them were at a standstill.
In the end, it was Wei Dong who broke the deadlock first.
"Since you are both doing this for that Girl, shouldn't you let me go out first to gather some information and then come back to discuss?" Wei Dong said with a tone of helplessness.
Gu Xuanhong shot Wei Dong a cold glance and said lightly, "Did I stop you from going out?"
Liu Yuren quickly added, "Did I tie your hands and feet?"
Wei Dong: "..."
"Go already!!"
"Go already!"
Seeing Wei Dong sitting still, the two shouted in unison. If this were in front of ordinary people outside, they would have been scared out of their wits. Who didn't know who the two most untouchable figures in the Vast Continent were? If these two stamped their feet, the entire Vast Continent would tremble three times.
Wei Dong felt even more frustrated.
Well then, who did he offend! The matter concerning Huxin's Girl was naturally his concern as well, but just now these two clearly looked like they wanted to tear him apart; now they turned on a dime faster than flipping a book.
Could it be that the power of love was truly that great?
Wei Dong found it increasingly difficult to understand.
In this world, regardless of gender, if one has never experienced love, it is impossible to imagine the complex yet shocking feelings that love brings.
In the next moment, before the two could react, Wei Dong had already dashed away from A Cup of Vast Sea. Clearly, it was his territory, and they were the ones who needed him. Yet, he felt an inexplicable sense of sorrow as if he were a guest in someone else's home.
...
Meanwhile, in the Imperial Palace at Kun Ning Palace,
The Empress Dowager had not even reached Nalan Mingqing before she was sent flying by his internal energy.
The Empress Dowager struggled to get up from the ground, and before she could speak, she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Sitting in a wheelchair, Nalan Mingqing maintained a smile, silent and unassuming. He appeared like an innocent young man, untouched by the world's troubles, pure and naive. His bright eyes seemed clear and transparent; if one had not witnessed his ruthless scheming before, it would be hard to imagine that such eyes concealed boundless darkness and murderous intent.
The Empress Dowager barely managed to rise but did not dare to look at Nalan Mingqing. Her body trembled violently, but it was a strange frequency, as if she were under some external force's control, shaking involuntarily.
The elegantly dressed man in white on the wheelchair spoke softly; his voice was seemingly harmless. However, every word he uttered felt like a sharp needle piercing the Empress Dowager's heart, sending chills down her spine.
No one understood how terrifying this man was better than she did. Yet, during her time at the Xuanyuan Family, she had been unable to control her temper. The moment she saw Xuan Yuan Ling and his father’s faces, memories of her past experiences flooded back, making it impossible for her to remain calm.
But this precisely touched Nalan Mingqing's bottom line.
Immediately after, a powerful surge of internal energy knocked the Empress Dowager back to the ground again. Blood gushed from her mouth and nose as she swayed unsteadily.
The smile on Nalan Mingqing's face resembled a hellish curse that made the Empress Dowager feel impending doom. However, Nalan Mingqing would not kill her just yet; she still held some value for him. Once that value was lost, her fate would be sealed.
"Nalan Gongzi! Nalan Gongzi! Please... spare me! I truly won't dare again! I know I was wrong! Please forgive me this once for my past mistakes. I admit my behavior towards the Xuanyuan Family was indeed unforgivable; considering I have worked diligently for your sake, please..."
"For my sake? Or did you think you could scheme against me and ended up humiliating yourself instead?"
Nalan Mingqing spoke slowly, but every word was like a precious gem that pierced deeply into the Empress Dowager's heart, leaving her speechless.
Indeed, she had greedily wanted to swallow Water Valley whole. Little did she know that beneath Nalan Mingqing's seemingly mediocre exterior lay a sudden strike at a critical moment that caught her completely off guard. The reason why the National Master had recently fallen to him was precisely this.
Many had high hopes for Water Valley's prime location but ended up as mere prey in Nalan Mingqing's traps, waiting to be slaughtered.
The Empress Dowager felt an unbearable itch all over her body, akin to being gnawed and bitten by thousands of ants. It made her want to roll on the ground to suppress the pain, but the more she rolled, the more intense the pain became, showing no signs of relief.
She knew this was the effect of the insects placed inside her by Nalan Mingqing. These insects required a specific antidote to be fed daily; missing even one dose would result in excruciating pain throughout her body, gradually leading to festering sores and ultimately a painful death.
The Empress Dowager had witnessed others who, unwilling to submit to the control of the insects, gritted their teeth and refused the antidote. The painful scenes from those moments still haunted her.
It was a torment that no ordinary person could endure.
Moreover, these insects were incredibly intelligent. Once they entered the body, they quickly burrowed into the brain and could even control a person's thoughts and actions. If one resisted their control and fought back, the torment inflicted would surpass even that of refusing the antidote.
In other words, once these insects entered the body, it meant there was no escape from life or death; there was only one path left—being controlled by Nalan Mingqing. If one attempted to end their life through suicide, the insects would act preemptively, torturing them until they wished for death but could not attain it.
The Empress Dowager only wanted the antidote now; nothing else mattered. If she did not take the antidote soon, the pain would double as time passed.
Nalan Mingqing watched as the Empress Dowager lay on the ground, crying uncontrollably. His eyes were clear as water, never blinking once, and he showed no intention of retrieving the antidote for her.
This was his lesson for her.
To make her remember that if she did not listen to him and did not follow his rules, daring to speak out of turn would lead to such consequences.
The Empress Dowager could no longer bear the pain. She rolled on the ground, tearing at her hair and clothes. Her face was so distorted that parts of her skin were ripped away, revealing a visage completely different from that of the Empress Dowager.
