Chapter 200: Meng Po's Betrayal
On the other side, Meng Po successfully reclaimed the Lion King Bone.
At this moment, she tightly gripped the Lion King Bone in her hand, which emitted a blinding light.
In an instant, a strong sense of bondage surged from deep within her soul; it was a command from the Soul Binding.
This mysterious power compelled her to involuntarily want to immediately offer the Lion King Bone in her hand to Lin Yang.
Just then, a graceful figure descended like a meteor beside Meng Po.
Having just landed, the figure eagerly exclaimed, 'Hahaha, Meng Po, you did great!'
'Not only did you eliminate those two hateful masked men, but you also snatched the Lion King Bone back for me; later I will surely have my father thank you profusely!'
The newcomer was none other than Chu Yue of the Great Dao Sect.
Seeing the Lion King Bone lost and then recovered, Chu Yue's anxious heart finally settled.
Her inner little tsundere instantly ** flared up.
Recalling how, after winning the Lion King Bone in an auction and leaving the Three Provinces, she had endured countless pursuits and robberies of treasures.
Now, seeing Meng Po take action, the Lion King Bone easily returned to her hand.
Unable to suppress her urgency, she hurriedly said, 'Meng Po, quickly give me the Lion King Bone!'
Speaking, Chu Yue reached out to demand the Lion King Bone.
However.
Meng Po, however, seemed not to hear, merely coldly observing, with no intention of handing over the Lion King Bone.
Witnessing this, Chu Yue felt a hint of dissatisfaction, raised her voice and said again, 'Meng Po, didn't you hear me speaking?'
'Hurry up and hand over the Lion King Bone!'
Yet, Meng Po beside her continued to ignore her words.
Seeing Meng Po's attitude, Chu Yue was completely enraged, strode toward her with a menacing aura, and loudly demanded, 'Are you deaf?'
'I order you to hand over the Lion King Bone.'
Immediately, her gaze turned cold as she locked eyes with Meng Po.
Just then, as her words fell, another streak of light flashed across the sky and swiftly descended.
The newcomer was an extraordinarily refined man—Lin Yang.
The moment Chu Yue saw Lin Yang, she was startled, never expecting him to have come here for the Lion King Bone.
But soon she forced herself to calm down, secretly pleased inside.
This person actually dared to come alone—surely he's walking into a trap?
Now Meng Po is by my side; although I haven't contacted my father yet, he is likely on his way here.
With such forces, what's there to fear about not being able to capture Lin Yang?
'Lin Yang, why have you followed me here?'
Chu Yue bluntly asked.
Lin Yang first glanced at Chu Yue, then his gaze fell on the Lion King Bone, and he said unhurriedly, 'I say I'm just passing by—do you believe me?'
Chu Yue's eyes turned icy as she coldly replied, 'If I believed you, I wouldn't be a Chu!'
'Speak up—did you come for this Lion King Bone?'
Lin Yang smiled and persisted: 'I really am just passing by.'
'Hmph, still making excuses!' Chu Yue, having lost all patience, coldly said, 'You really think this is still the Three Provinces?'
'In the Three Provinces, you have President Jiang and Shopkeeper Hua protecting you; I truly cannot move against you there.'
'But now… this is not the Three Provinces; I have a hundred ways to make you die without a burial place.'
Chu Yue, furious, let out a bitter laugh.
Immediately, she looked at Meng Po beside her and, with an air of command, said, 'Meng Po, this person is Lin Yang! He not only struck me, but also forced me to spend twelve million spirit stones to win this Lion King Bone.'
'Now I order you: immediately move to kill him!'
Meng Po, hearing this, without hesitation lifted her head to look at Lin Yang.
The next second, she actually stepped forward and respectfully said, 'Senior, I believe you are just passing by.'
Upon hearing this, Chu Yue seemed frozen in place, her face full of shock and disbelief.
She trembled as she asked, 'Meng Po, what are you saying?'
You should know, at the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce auction, Lin Yang not only struck her in front of everyone, but also made her lose all face.
Now, having finally encountered Lin Yang here with difficulty, she originally thought Meng Po would unhesitatingly strike to kill him.
But she never imagined Meng Po's reaction would be so bizarre.
Chu Yue, furious to the extreme, continued to press: 'Meng Po, whose side are you actually on?'
'Why are you helping him speak?'
However.
Before her words even faded, the scene before her completely overturned her understanding.
All that could be seen was Meng Po wearing a fawning expression, like a servant attending her master, walking humbly to Lin Yang and saying, 'Senior, you have worked hard passing through this place.'
'This is the Lion King Bone; little slave has specially fetched it for you.'
The formidable Meng Po of the Great Dao Sect, feared by all, now actually behaved so meekly and obediently.
If not witnessed firsthand, hearing this would make others think she had gone mad.
Meanwhile, Chu Yue was unaware that ever since Meng Po became Zhou Tianming's puppet,
Zhou Tianming had issued her an order to absolutely respect Lin Yang.
At the very moment Lin Yang appeared earlier, that soul-deep binding force had already confirmed that the person before her was Lin Yang.
Thus Meng Po would unhesitatingly offer the Lion King Bone to Lin Yang.
Seeing this, Lin Yang did not show too much surprise.
After all, he had long known about Zhou Tianming taking Meng Po as a puppet through reports from the system and Xiao Hei.
Therefore, he had already prepared himself mentally.
Moreover, Meng Po's proactively offering the Lion King Bone was something she did not expect.
He deliberately glanced at Chu Yue, then turned to Meng Po and asked feigning doubt: "Is this appropriate?"
Meng Po's face broke into a smile as she quickly said: "Naturally appropriate, senior, please accept it."
Seeing this, Chu Yue felt her qi and blood surge, nearly driving her mad.
She pointed a finger at Meng Po, shouting hoarsely: "Meng Po, whose side are you really on?"
"This Lion King Bone is mine; what right do you have to give it to him?"
"Don't forget, you're just a dog raised by the Great Dao Sect!"
"Now I order you to return the Lion King Bone to me; then I won't tell my father or pursue your responsibility."
"Otherwise, I'll make you regret it!"
Chu Yue loudly pressured Meng Po, trying to make her change her mind.
However.
A flicker of cold light flashed in Meng Po's eyes.
"Noisy!"
She lashed out violently; her long whip, like a black lightning bolt, instantly whipped Chu Yue away.
Still dazed, Chu Yue traced an arc in the air, her face filled with disbelief and anger.
She then crashed heavily into a forest one li ahead, vanishing without a trace.
As for having just torn apart the superior's daughter, Meng Po didn't even glance at it.
Immediately, she turned to Lin Yang and said respectfully: "Senior, it's quiet now; please accept the Lion King Bone."
Lin Yang smiled slightly and did not refuse further.
He openly accepted the Lion King Bone.
Afterwards, he took the Lion King Bone, turned into a stream of light, and swiftly departed.
Meng Po smiled satisfied, then likewise turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the horizon.
