Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

The two walked towards each other, and Su Liang did not give way, but instead met Gu Su Mu Bai's gaze.

Suddenly, Su Liang frowned slightly.

The person in front of him was very strong, extremely strong. In just the instant their eyes met, he could feel an overwhelming sense of intimidation, as if the ultimate forces of heaven and earth were sweeping towards him.

In terms of sheer presence, Su Liang was indeed inferior to him.

If it were an ordinary martial artist, they would most likely have a mental breakdown or be so frightened that they would be stunned on the spot.

But Su Liang... possesses the forbidden Eye of the Universe, and even more so, the supreme killing technique, the Divine Demon's Thought!

With that thought, even as the Yin-Yang Dao pressed down upon him, Su Liang remained unmoved, his expression unchanged, and he even began to launch a counterattack.

"Oh?"

Gu Su Mu Bai let out a soft "hmm," a smile appearing on his face as he withdrew his imposing aura.

He said it calmly.

"I am Su Mubai, Daoist of the Yin Yang Divine Sect. You must be Su Liang, the one who made the Holy Son of Wuming run away with his tail between his legs?"

"Unfortunately, I am not the Holy Son of Wuming. I would not take his strength seriously."

"As for why I'm here today, you might find it very interesting."

As Gu Su Mu Bai finished speaking, he turned to look at the main hall behind him, his smile growing even wider.

"I have come today to mention the matter of dual cultivation to the eldest princess."

I wish to use her pure Yin body to prove the supreme Dao. I wonder if you mind?

Changing the subject, he answered on his own,

"Unfortunately, it's no use caring about it!"

"Don't worry, I'm not actually that interested in her."

"I will return her to you then, but whether she will cherish my Yin-Yang Dao is another matter entirely, hahaha!!!"

Having said that, Yin Yang Daozi ignored Su Liang's expression and strode away.

Su Liang looked at Gu Su Mubai's back, raised an eyebrow and stared coldly, ready to strike with his Broken Army Spear in an instant.

But in the end, he didn't let himself be blinded, because the other party was obviously deliberately provoking him to make a move.

Finally, Su Liang smiled.

His smile was exceptionally bright, but his eyes were so cold that even Liuli felt afraid—a coldness that even top assassins might not possess.

Can a puppy become a wolf king?

however.

This was the first time Su Lai had ever been so eager to kill someone.

[Trigger optional quest - Kill the Yin-Yang Daoist.]

[Abandoned: Reward title "Green Hat Hero".]

[Acceptance: Kill the Yin-Yang Dao Child within one month. You will seize all of his foundational abilities and successfully refine them. Reward: A special item - the Other Shore Gu. Failure to complete this task within one month will be considered an abandonment of the mission.]

As if in response to Su Liang's wishes, the system simply...

The task selection was given swiftly.

At the same time.

The door in the distance creaked open.

Turning around suddenly, Jun Hongyan, dressed in a scarlet palace dress, had already gracefully walked out.

The towering peaks in front of him remain proudly erect, constantly symbolizing the owner's high level of confidence and pride, making others feel ashamed of their own shortcomings.

She stood in front of Su Liang.

"Come on, I'll take you somewhere."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jun Hongyan ignored Su Liang's questioning gaze and got up to leave.

Unfortunately, Su Liang did not move.

After taking only a couple of steps, Jun Hongyan turned to look at him, her long, narrow phoenix eyes icy cold.

Are you jealous?

Su Liang then came to his senses and said matter-of-factly,

"No, I'm thinking about how to kill him as soon as possible."

"..."

Hearing this, Jun Hongyan smiled helplessly and took Su Liang's hand.

Then, Su Liang was pulled out of the princess's residence by her.

Chapter Thirty-Four: I'm Willing to Gamble with You

On the road ahead.

Su Liang stared intently at the future empress before him, sometimes wistful, sometimes sighing.

I just wanted to influence this world-destroying empress, but there are always people who like to cause trouble!

Seemingly uncomfortable under such gazes, Jun Hongyan took the initiative to speak and break the dull atmosphere.

"Gu Su Mu Bai wanted to use me to cultivate the Yin-Yang Dao through dual cultivation, and I did not refuse."

"It's impossible for us to agree to that."

"What if?"

"That just means you're blind."

Jun Hongyan smiled gently, a rare hint of tenderness appearing on her usually cool and aloof face.

"In half a month, my man will fight him, regardless of life or death."

In other words—

"As my little man, you will challenge the Yin-Yang Daoist who is countless times stronger than you in half a month!"

"Defeat means certain death, and I may even become his furnace."

The sentence, brimming with mockery, was so obvious that even a fool could tell it was utter nonsense.

The person before us is... the future peerless empress!

Even if you're going to use provocation, choose a clever method.

Su Liang pursed his lips and asked in return,

"So you're admitting you're my woman?"

Jun Hongyan corrected her meaningfully.

"No, it's you who are my little man."

"Is there a difference?"

What are you worrying about now?

“…”

Faced with such a rebuttal, Su Liang was speechless for a moment.

All that could be heard was Jun Hongyan calmly adding,

"Of course, if you're willing to admit this fact—"

"It's not that I can't get rid of him for you."

During their conversation, a carriage stopped in front of them, and Jun Hongyan boarded the carriage with Su Liang's help.

Once inside the carriage, Su Liang sat down next to Jun Hongyan, secretly glancing at her body before asking a question.

How strong is he?

"Very strong, at the third stage of the Life Palace Realm, cultivating the Great Dao of Yin and Yang, far surpassing your previous opponents."

"The difference between you and him is probably just that..."

As she spoke, Jun Hongyan spread her hands, subtly symbolizing the vast difference between heaven and earth.

Su Liang pursed his lips and asked unhappily,

"Given such a large gap, why would you place your bet on me? That's not the choice of a wise person."

Jun Hongyan smiled after hearing Su Liang's question.

She turned her head slightly and met Su Liang's gaze. There was no disappointment in his eyes, but rather deep encouragement.

Jun Hongyan parted her red lips slightly, each word clear and powerful.

"No matter what others think, I will stand by my little man."

"It's not a matter of whether you believe it or not, but that I must believe you will win."

Do you understand?

Perhaps feeling that such dry words lacked sufficient persuasiveness, Jun Hongyan increased her stakes.

"How about this, you win, and you can ask me for any condition you want."

"Of course, if you lose, I will also have a coffin prepared in the mansion."

As she spoke, a wicked smile appeared on Jun Hongyan's face, seemingly a provocation towards Su Liang.

Su Liang, however, always felt that Jun Hongyan spoke with too much composure.

Even when it comes to betting on oneself, one remains an observer, completely unmoved.

however.

He thought about it carefully and then he understood.

The person before me is Jun Hongyan, the future world-destroying empress, who controls the entire Great Qin Dynasty, the largest intelligence organization Tianwen, and the largest assassin organization Baiyujing.

Would a beautiful woman like Jun Hongyan be afraid of being forced into marriage?
