“Absolutely not!”
Tang Tianyou immediately declared, “How could I stoop to such a despicable act…”
*Bang*…
Before Tang Tianyou could finish his sentence, Wu Teng landed a punch squarely on his left eye. Instantly, a bruise began to form around his eye socket.
“Tang Tianyou, I’m not asking you, I’m telling you,” Wu Teng growled menacingly. “If you refuse, do you really think you’ll live to see tomorrow?”
“You know very well that my father is a second-rank spiritual alchemist. Master Lu Entao is also aware of how I’ve treated you. At worst, he might scold me a few times. Do you really think anyone in the Qingyun Pavilion would thoroughly investigate the death of a mere ordinary alchemist like you?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Tianyou’s body stiffened.
“Moreover…” Wu Teng chuckled sinisterly, “I’ve slipped some drugs into Wulingzhu’s drink earlier. She must be unconscious by now. If you go and steal a few pieces of clothing, I can guarantee no one will ever know.”
“If you refuse to go, then I’ll go instead. And if I can’t resist the temptation of Wulingzhu’s fragrant沐浴… and end up taking advantage of her… then she’ll be mine for good.”
“You should know that my father and Wulingzhu’s father are close friends. They both hope that Wulingzhu and I will end up together. Once it’s a done deal, I’m sure Master Wuxuan, for the sake of his daughter’s reputation, will accept me as his son-in-law…”
Hearing these words, Tang Tianyou’s face turned pale.
“Alright, I’ll go.”
Tang Tianyou immediately said, “I’ll steal the clothes for you.”
“Now that’s what I’m talking about!”
Wu Teng straightened Tang Tianyou’s clothes, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed, “Don’t worry, no one will ever find out.”
Tang Tianyou, released by Wu Teng, walked through the rows of courtyards at the back of the Qingyun Pavilion until he finally arrived in front of one particular courtyard.
Not far away, Wu Teng, along with several guards, kept signaling to him.
Tang Tianyou took a deep breath, entered the courtyard, and approached the door of the room. He gently pushed it open.
The door wasn’t closed?
How could Wulingzhu be so careless?
He stepped inside and immediately closed the door behind him, calling out, “Lingzhu, are you alright? Are you hurt?”
But there was no response.
Had the drug taken effect already?
Tang Tianyou quickly moved to the inner room of the chamber. There, he saw a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old girl, disheveled and half-dressed, with large patches of her porcelain skin exposed, lying unconscious on the bed. The clothes scattered on the floor were in complete disarray, and steam was rising from a bathtub in the inner room.
“Lingzhu!”
It was clear that Wulingzhu had just finished bathing when the drug took effect and she fell unconscious.
“Lingzhu, wake up! Wu Teng has ill intentions. Please wake up…” Tang Tianyou urged frantically.
He had agreed to come here not to steal clothes, but to protect Wulingzhu.
“Damn it!”
Still young and inexperienced, Tang Tianyou was thrown into a panic by the sight. He quickly picked up the disheveled Wulingzhu and rushed toward the door.
However, as soon as he opened it, more than a dozen people suddenly poured into the courtyard.
Leading the group was none other than Wu Teng. In front of him were Master Wuxuan, Master Wu Ao, and… Master Lu Entao, among others.
“Tang Tianyou, I never expected you to be so brazen! To drug Lingzhu and have such dishonorable intentions!” Wu Teng shouted upon seeing Tang Tianyou holding Wulingzhu.
“Tang Tianyou, you son of a gun!”
A roar of fury erupted. Master Wuxuan, Wulingzhu’s father, lunged forward in an instant. With a flash of movement, he reached Tang Tianyou and slapped him with all his might.
*Crack*!!!
Master Wuxuan, being a second-rank spiritual alchemist and a high-level condensation-pulse cultivator, delivered a blow that a mere body-refining cultivator like Tang Tianyou could never withstand.
The slap sent Tang Tianyou crashing into the back wall. The wall cracked, and he slowly fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Wulingzhu, whom he had been holding, was caught securely by Master Wuxuan.
“Lingzhu, Lingzhu, are you alright…” Master Wuxuan asked anxiously.
