Chapter 44: Tangyuehua: You're lying

Shall I give you a child?

Tangyuehua fixed her beautiful eyes on Qianxunji, slightly frowning as she said:

The Pope really knows how to joke.

Qianxunji pinched Tang Lao with one hand, saying:

I'm not joking; you're so beautiful, any child you bear will definitely be very beautiful.

I'll ask you one more time: will you bear a child or not?

Tang Huaguang shook their head, glaring at Qianxunji with disgust, eyes firm as they said:

Give up on that thought; I could never bear your child.

Her heart has long belonged to Tang Hao; in this life she cannot accept anyone else.

Even if she died, she would never marry Qianxunji to bear his child.

"Good, good, a strong-willed woman." Qianxunji showed no displeasure at the rejection, instead looking at Tangyuehua with admiration.

In his view, if she simply complied, it would be boring.

What he wants is Tangyuehua's unyielding, rather-die-than-yield spirit.

He also knew that using Tang Lao to coerce Tangyuehua was impossible; otherwise, in the original story, Tangyuehua wouldn't have stayed single for life for Tang Hao.

Crack!

Qianxunji exerted a little force with his big hand, hearing only a crack as Tang Lao's neck tilted.

As his hand loosened, Tang Lao's limp body fell to the ground.

Tangyuehua quickly squatted down, reached out to feel Tang Lao's neck—silent, no pulse.

Instantly, Tangyuehua's beautiful face filled with sorrow; she lifted her head, glaring angrily at Qianxunji, and said:

Why did you kill him?

"What?" Qianxunji scratched his ear, his icy voice sounding:

Since you refuse to comply, he, who is worthless, can only die.

Hearing this, Tangyuehua felt Qianxunji was utterly wicked, disregarding human life, and coldly said:

You're too vicious—you say kill and you kill; Tang Lao had no grudge against you.

Hahaha… hahaha…

Qianxunji's demonic voice sounded, then he looked down at Tangyuehua and coldly said:

Me vicious? I was walking on the main road; why should I yield to him?

If I don't yield, he'll try to kill me, striking with a killing blow right away, trying to put me to death, and I have no grudge against him.

Since he wants to kill me, why can't I kill him?

Saying this, Qianxunji again said:

You say I'm vicious? You're the most vicious.

"Where am I vicious?" Tangyuehua retorted.

Qianxunji stepped on Tang Lao's head with one foot, crushing it directly, then said:

Hehe, I've given you two choices: first, bear my child, and I'll forgive the matter of Tang Lao killing me and let him go.

Second: if you refuse, he kills me, then I naturally have to kill him.

And you, Tang Lao died protecting you, yet you, for your own sake of not bearing my child, chose to let Tang Lao die.

Tangyuehua, you are the most vicious!

"How can you calculate it like that?" Tangyuehua stared, momentarily speechless, feeling Qianxunji's words made sense, she actually couldn't refute.

Because, as Qianxunji said.

Qianxunji and I and others were walking on the horse road; why should we yield to Tang Lao and others?

And Tang Lao, seeing Qianxunji not yielding, immediately launched a killing move.

If Tang Lao could kill Qianxunji, then Qianxunji could naturally kill Tang Lao.

Tang Lao died for her Tangyuehua, yet I could have saved Tang Lao but didn't?

Simply, simply too selfish.

Qianxunji looked down at Tangyuehua below and sneered:

How about it, does what I say make sense?

"Seems, seems somewhat reasonable." Tangyuehua nodded.

Suddenly, Tangyuehua lifted her head, her gaze fixed straight on Qianxunji, and said:

Although what you say makes sense, I do indeed seem somewhat selfish, but saving Tang Lao is one matter, and my purity is another; they cannot be conflated.

Moreover, how could the Pope of the Spirit Hall possibly come to this desolate wilderness for no reason? You clearly came here on purpose.

Furthermore, recalling that two days ago I suddenly received news that my brother was in Sunset Forest; now I think it must be you who deliberately released the news, in order to lure me out of the Clear Sky Sect, and today you also came for me.

Saying this, Tangyuehua stared directly at Qianxunji and questioned:

Is that right?

Slap… slap… slap…

Qianxunji clapped his hands, looking at Tangyuehua with appreciation, and praised:

Smart, no wonder you're Tang Hao's younger sister; you guessed everything at once, though there's no reward.

Since you've guessed I came for you, you also know that today you cannot escape; you'd better obediently come with me to the Spirit Hall to bear a child.

Hehe… hehe… Tangyuehua chuckled coldly, slowly rose to her feet, staring at Qianxunji without fear, and said:

You lured me out of the Clear Sky Sect because you fear the Clear Sky Sect, and the one you fear is my grandfather Tangchen, the strongest among the Three Ultimate Douluo.

So you'd better let me go; otherwise, my grandfather Tangchen will find out and will surely lead the Clear Sky Sect to declare war on your Spirit Hall.

Qianxunji heard this, did not answer, just laughed loudly.

"Ha ha…… ha ha……"

"What are you laughing at?" Tangyuehua asked doubtfully.

Somehow, hearing Qianxunji's laughter, she felt something was off.

It seemed, it seemed Qianxunji was completely unafraid of her grandfather Tangchen.

But how could that be, although Qianxunji's father Qian Daoliu and her own grandfather Tangchen were both Three Ultimate Douluo.

But Qian Daoliu previously sparred with grandfather Tangchen, defeating Qian Daoliu in half a move, showing Qian Daoliu was no match for Tangchen.

Then Qianxunji should be afraid of her grandfather Tangchen, so why does she show no fear at all?

Qianxunji suddenly stretched out a large hand, directly pinching Tangyuehua's delicate chin.

"Let go of me, let go of your dirty hands!"

Tangyuehua did not struggle; she was a smart woman, she knew struggling in Qianxunji's grasp was utterly useless, so she could only coldly warn.

Qianxunji pinched Tangyuehua's chin with one hand, gazing at her beautiful, peerless face, and said:

"I laugh at your Clear Sky Sect, not even knowing that your strongest Tangchen is almost dead."

"And you, actually using a dead person to threaten me, is utterly foolish."

"What did you say?" Tangyuehua's beautiful face filled with surprise, she hurriedly asked.

"You say my grandfather Tangchen is dead; where did you get that news?"

At this moment, Tangyuehua was already somewhat panicked, her heart full of worry for her grandfather Tangchen.

Because, as a direct disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, she also knew her grandfather Tangchen had disappeared for many years without news.

Logically, with grandfather's Ultimate Douluo strength, he should have no match on the continent, yet they were also very worried about his disappearance for so many years.

And now, Qianxunji actually said grandfather Tangchen was almost dead; out of concern for her grandfather, Tangyuehua hurriedly asked.
