Chapter 229: Use the Five Dragons Heavenly Heart Sword on Zhu Tianqing! (4K, please subscribe! Please vote!)

The next day.

Zhu Tianqing, accompanied by two ambassadors promoting equality between humans and transvestites, began to vigorously encourage Taihua citizens to adopt spirit beasts.

It also listed the various benefits of spirit beasts.

For example, the loyalty and companionship of canines, the aloofness and cuteness of felines, and the elegance and sharpness of birds.

However, after a whole morning of promotion, Zhu Tianqing found herself in an awkward situation.

According to data from the various spirit beast sales sites of the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Sect, very few citizens of Taihua City purchase spirit beasts.

Not only did no one buy them, but many carnivorous spirit beasts were also abandoned at the station entrance.

Zhu Tianqing's long-term publicity efforts seem to have had no effect.

But judging from her personal account, everyone is still overwhelmingly supporting and praising her!

The girl was somewhat skeptical and promoted the product even more diligently over the next few days.

She came to the spirit beast sales site every day, acting as a human billboard.

But when she actually arrived at the scene, she finally realized something was wrong.

Instead of being pleasantly surprised, passersby showed no dissatisfaction, but rather an undisguised displeasure, or even... disgust, upon seeing her!
This made her somewhat flustered.

She tried to ask the people on the street for their opinions, but everyone avoided her as if she were a plague, which made the girl even more panicked.

Night has fallen once again.

Exhausted, Zhu Tianqing returned to the spirit beast sales station.

Su Yuan was already waiting there.

Upon seeing the girl return, he immediately stepped forward to comfort her:
"Holy Maiden, don't worry, people may just have a slight misunderstanding about you."

"As long as you continue to promote your ideas, people will definitely recognize them."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Tianqing forced a smile and nodded.

Just then, a jade pendant at Zhu Tianqing's waist trembled slightly.

The next second, a 3D image was projected from the jade pendant onto the open ground in front of the girl.

The image shows a tall, imposing middle-aged man who exudes a strong sense of oppression even through the lens.

The middle-aged man's features were sharp and angular, as if carved by a knife and axe, exuding a masculine beauty.

But if that face were a little softer, it would bear a resemblance to Zhu Tianqing.

Standing to the side, Su Yuan immediately guessed the man's identity.

It must be Zhu Tianqing's father, the head of the Beast Taming Department of the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Sect, and the Demon Refining True Monarch!
As soon as the Demon Refining True Monarch appeared, he coldly spoke:

"Tianqing, I've told you countless times, don't pity spirit beasts that haven't developed intelligence."

“Only spirit beasts that have awakened their wisdom and transformed into human form can coexist with us as equals. You have misplaced your love.”

"I didn't stop you from promoting the idea of ​​equality between transgender people before, just to make you face reality."

"Now the reality is right in front of you. The mission the sect entrusted to you has failed because of your recklessness. Don't you understand?"

"Come back tomorrow, and stop having any unrealistic ideas."

Su Yuan, who overheard these words, felt tears welling up in his eyes.

Listen to this, this is how a normal person should think!

The Demon Refining True Lord truly lives up to his reputation as a powerful senior; he is so wise and understanding!
With his persuasion, Zhu Tianqing should be able to curb her spoiled princess temper and obediently go home.

But then, Zhu Tianqing said with a serious expression:

"Father, I will never give up my ideals!"

"I can't leave, because if I leave, all my previous efforts will be in vain."

"The reason why people do not recognize equality between humans and transgender people is because they are used to being superior. I will lead by example and correct their views little by little."

"Although the development of the sect's business has indeed stagnated because of me."

"But once my ideas are promoted, the filthy spirit beast trading business of the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Sect will definitely be able to expand on a large scale."

Su Yuan: "..."

To be honest, young lady, although you are a bit naive, your resolve is truly unwavering!

Demon Refining True Monarch: "..."

The old father, who was a Nascent Soul True Monarch, didn't say a word and slammed the phone down, clearly very angry.

Zhu Tianqing had no intention of fighting back. She snorted and turned to leave.

But Su Yuan was numb.

No, Demon Refining True Lord, are you just going to give up like this?
What about the people of Taihua City?
We can't just let Zhu Tianqing continue to cause trouble!
Just as Su Yuan was ranting and raving, his phone vibrated slightly.

Su Yuan took out his phone and saw the new message, then fell silent.

"True Lord Zhu Haoyang, the Demon Refiner, requests to add you as a friend!"

Holy crap! It's a telecom scam!
Upon seeing this message, the first thought that popped into Su Yuan's mind was this.

After all, what kind of person is the Demon Refining True Monarch? He is one of the few Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the Blue Star Federation, and definitely a high-ranking official in the Federation.

He was just an ordinary commoner, and he was from a completely different world from the Demon Refining True Lord. How could the other party possibly add him as a friend?
But after calming down and thinking about it for a while, Su Yuan was shocked to discover that... this friend information was definitely real!

How could a typical telecom fraud gang possibly breach the defenses of the Cyber ​​Soul Banner?

Only those with extremely high levels of authority can bypass all defenses and directly add someone as a friend.

Su Yuan swallowed hard. Although he felt a little flustered, he dared not refuse to add the friend.

As soon as I accepted your friend request, the other party sent me a video call invitation.

Su Yuan could only connect.

The next second, the face of the Demon Refining True Monarch appeared on the phone screen.

It seems that the video footage transmitted through the spiritual network was somewhat distorted because the Nascent Soul True Monarch's spiritual pressure was too heavy.

Fortunately, this did not affect their communication.

"Um... Senior Zhu, is there anything you need me to do?"

Su Yuan asked cautiously, already vaguely guessing that the other party's contact with him must be related to Zhu Tianqing.

Otherwise, it couldn't be that she's fallen for him, could it?

Is Tian Qing nearby?

"I am cautious," the Demon Refining True Monarch asked warily.

"No... not here."

Su Yuan glanced at Zhu Tianqing, who had already flown far away, and answered honestly.

The Demon Refining True Monarch nodded slightly, then said coldly:

"Although there are indeed many flaws in Tianqing's ideas, the reason why it has generated such a huge reaction in Taihua City is inseparable from your instigation."

"Am I right, Su Yuan?"

Su Yuan: "..."

Sweating profusely!
For a minor Foundation Establishment cultivator to be remembered by a Nascent Soul cultivator is an immense honor from any perspective.

The only minor issue is that Su Yuan was remembered because he did something wrong.

If it weren't for the phone screen, Su Yuan would probably have immediately collapsed to his knees!

"Um, Senior Zhu, please let me explain..."

"No need to explain."

The Demon Refining True Monarch spoke calmly:
"Su Yuan, you did a great job."

"I was wrong... huh?"

Su Yuan, who was halfway through begging for mercy, was completely stunned.

Did I do a good job?
What did I do that was really good? All I did was dig a bunch of holes for your daughter, didn't I?
However, what the Demon Refining True Monarch said next made Su Yuan suddenly realize the truth.

Then the other party said calmly: "Su Yuan, as the undisputed number one in the top ten preparatory classes, I, as a teacher of the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Sect, have naturally heard the evaluations of you from the preparatory class instructors long ago."

"Although you do act eccentrically, you also have many ingenious ideas."

"I suspect that during your time with my daughter, besides subtly inciting public resentment, you made other arrangements as well."

Su Yuan quickly flattered him, saying:

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from Senior Zhu. I do have some immature little ideas."

"But this is absolutely not directed at the Holy Maiden Zhu; it's solely for the sake of the livelihoods of the millions of people in Taihua City..."

The Demon Refining True Monarch waved his hand and said:
"never mind."

"No matter how insidious your plans are for my daughter, go ahead and do them!"

"I only have one ultimate goal for you, and that is to completely correct her excessive sympathy."

"Otherwise, if she continues to follow her own ideas, trouble will inevitably arise sooner or later."

Hearing this, Su Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not about settling scores with him for cheating his daughter.

Not only did they not keep the accounts, they even actively pushed their daughter into the fire... Hehe, then I'm really going to carry out my evil plan.

Su Yuanqiang suppressed the inexplicable excitement welling up inside him and asked seriously:

"Senior Zhu, are you sure?"

"Then I'll really do what I plan and take action against your daughter."

Demon Refining True Monarch: "..."

Why do I have this weird feeling?

It was as if they were deliberately sending their daughter to the home of the blond-haired kid.

But in order to educate his daughter, the Demon Refining True Monarch was going all out, and directly waved his hand and said:

"Go ahead and do it, but be careful not to inflict any serious injuries on her!"

"Please rest assured, Senior. My approach is always to attack the mind first; physical harm is only a secondary concern."

Su Yuan immediately agreed, and after asking the Demon Refining True Monarch for some more information about Zhu Tianqing, he hung up the video call with satisfaction.

"Now, let me do something big!"

Su Yuan stretched lazily, made a few phone calls, and immediately headed towards the large apartment where Zhu Tianqing was located.

This wasn't his first time visiting Zhu Tianqing's place, so the door opened immediately without any precautions after he knocked.

At this moment, Zhu Tianqing was sitting blankly on the sofa, staring at the huge floor-to-ceiling window in front of her.

“Holy Maiden, I have just received important information.”

As soon as Su Yuan entered the room, he said with a serious expression:
"The reason why the people resent you is because there is a group that opposes spirit beasts secretly stirring things up."

"I now know where that group is meeting. Shall we go check it out?"

Upon hearing this, the girl suddenly came to her senses.

She quickly stood up and said, somewhat excitedly:

"I knew my principles were right; it was just that some despicable people used underhanded tricks to deceive their superiors and subordinates!"

"I believe that most of the groups that are resisting spirit beasts are just caught up in the chaos."

“If I talk to them face to face, they will definitely understand my feelings.”

Su Yuan nodded sincerely:
“You’re right, Holy Maiden. Let’s go and talk to those people face to face.”

Zhu Tianqing nodded repeatedly, about to set off, when she heard Su Yuan ask:
"But Holy Maiden, since we're going to have a proper conversation with someone, we shouldn't bring any violent personnel like security guards or bodyguards, right?"

Zhu Tianqing replied without hesitation:
"That's natural, I believe the people won't harm me."

Su Yuan: "What about your spirit pet? If groups that oppose spirit beasts see your spirit pet, there's no guarantee they won't do something irrational."

Zhu Tianqing: "Before coming here, I left all my spirit pets at the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Sect. The living environment in Taihua City is not good for them."

"That's fine, let's go."

Su Yuan immediately smiled and nodded, leading Zhu Tianqing toward a beer hall on the outskirts of the city.

He did not deceive Zhu Tianqing; the beer hall was packed with unemployed workers, who were just as boastful and joking as they had been the day before.

When the two arrived, many people were recounting the results of their battle against the Heavenly Hunting Saintess that day.

Seeing this, Zhu Tianqing completely believed Su Yuan's words.

The inability to promote the concept of equality between humans and transgender people must be related to these individuals.

The girl took a deep breath and flew down to the front of the beer hall.

Her appearance, like the bright moon in the night, immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Most people in the beer hall were a bit confused, not understanding why the Holy Maiden had suddenly appeared.

But before anyone could react, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd:
"The Heavenly Huntress is here! This woman is definitely here to capture us. Let's surround her quickly and not let her escape!"

"Am I... a sorceress?"

Zhu Tianqing was stunned.

When she came to her senses, the group of unemployed workers had been successfully incited and were rushing towards the girl with a belly full of anger.

Zhu Tianqing instinctively tried to back away, but it was too late.

Large numbers of unemployed workers rushed in from all directions, surrounding her.

At this moment, the proud saintess seemed to have been reduced to a lamb to the slaughter!

In this situation, Zhu Tianqing's mind had already gone blank, so how could she possibly have any warm and friendly conversation?

However, just as the unemployed workers were about to approach her, several figures dressed in black bodyguard uniforms suddenly appeared.

That was Zhu Tianqing's hidden bodyguard.

As soon as they appeared, they blocked the large number of unemployed workers surging towards Zhu Tianqing and worked hard to create an opening in the encirclement for the girl.

"Holy Maiden, we can't communicate with these people, let's go quickly."

Su Yuan grabbed Zhu Tianqing's hand and pulled her to rush outside.

Whether by coincidence or for some other reason, the two encountered surprisingly little resistance and quickly broke through the encirclement.

However, the bodyguards were not so lucky; they were completely surrounded.

Although they were all Foundation Establishment stage bodyguards who graduated from prestigious universities, there were also quite a few Foundation Establishment experts among the unemployed workers.

The two became entangled and unable to separate for a time, so they could only watch helplessly as Su Yuan left with the person he was protecting.

Su Yuan dragged Zhu Tianqing forward for quite a while until they reached a secluded grove of trees on the outskirts of the city, where they finally stopped.

Zhu Tianqing, who had followed Su Yuan here step by step, finally came to her senses.

The girl looked around blankly, then turned to Su Yuan, who had his back to her, and asked in confusion:
"Su Yuan, where is this place?"

"Why don't we just use our flying swords to fly back to the city?"

Then, she saw Su Yuan not turn his head, but a faint, cold laugh rang out:
"If I let you go back, wouldn't all my elaborate plans have been for nothing?"

"Holy Maiden, Holy Maiden, your mistake was trusting me too much."

"I will be here to make you experience pain you will never forget."

Before Su Yuan could finish speaking, two figures suddenly appeared from the woods.

It was Chen Nuoyi and Yin Qiyue.

The two of them, together with Su Yuan, formed a triangle, subtly surrounding Zhu Tianqing.

"You...you..."

This sudden betrayal is something Zhu Tianqing still cannot accept.

Su Yuan, however, was too lazy to say more and simply said:

"Noyi, unleash the Five Dragons Heavenly Heart Sword on the Holy Maiden... No need to hold back, go all out!"
