Douluo Continent: I possess astonishing wisdom as I control energy!

His eyes turned crimson, and all thoughts in his mind were cleared away, leaving only two words: revenge.

Without exchanging a single word, Tang San flicked his wrist, and several beams of cold light shot towards Dai Huabin's face like venomous snakes.

At the same time, his footwork became ethereal and unpredictable, closing the distance like a ghost, while his palms transformed into a jade-like texture, then he clenched his fist and threw a punch.

Dai Huabin had never expected to encounter such a sudden and ruthless attack within the academy. Although he managed to avoid vital organs in his haste, he was still struck by the hidden weapon.

Before he could even utter a roar, Tang San was already upon him, one yellow and two purple spirit rings rising beneath his feet. With a flash of his spirit skill light, his fist, imbued with the power of the Jade Hand, and the Clear Sky Hammer descended simultaneously.

Having lost the protection of his guards and caught off guard, Dai Huabin was almost completely overwhelmed in the first encounter.

After a few exchanges, Tang San pinned Dai Huabin to the ground, his fists repeatedly pounding on Dai Huabin's face, which was contorted with pain and rage.

As time went on, more and more people gathered to watch.

At a certain moment, the dull thud suddenly stopped.

Tang San stopped beating him, the frenzied bloodlust in his eyes gradually faded, and his mind returned to clarity.

Looking at the disheveled Dai Huabin beneath him, he felt an indescribable surge of pleasure and a sense of vengeance.

Unnoticed by anyone, the moment the crimson in his eyes completely vanished, strange blood-red patterns flashed across the ancient-looking Haotian Hammer in his hand, disappearing completely.

"stop!"

"What are you doing!"

Several members of the academy patrol team finally arrived at the scene and pulled Tang San, whose hands were covered in blood, away from Dai Huabin.

They then hurriedly carried Dai Huabin, whose face was covered in blood and who was almost unconscious, away for treatment.

A disturbance among the new students occurred suddenly and then quickly subsided.

In the distance, by the restaurant window, several figures took in everything.

Tang Ya's eyes still held disgust, but the killing intent she had shown earlier was no longer as obvious. She took a deep breath and slowly said:

"It's pretty much certain that the guy used the Tang Clan's ultimate technique."

"Xiaoya." Jiang Nannan couldn't help but speak up, trying to dissuade her, but Tang Ya shook her head, her tone calm.

"Don't worry, I'm not that impulsive."

Tang Ya glanced at the street in the distance where there were still traces of blood, her eyes turning slightly cold: "I will report it first, and deal with the thief after I have found out the specific situation."

……

……

On the other side, in a completely dark and pitch-black room, only suppressed sobs, seemingly the sound of weeping, echoed in the air.

Suddenly, the sobbing stopped abruptly, and after a brief pause, a voice rang out abruptly.

".What's wrong?"

It's Zhang Lexuan.

At this moment, her voice was slightly hoarse, carrying an undeniable sense of fatigue and a hint of dissatisfaction at being abruptly interrupted before she could fully enjoy herself.

The figure behind her paused slightly, gently patted her waist to comfort her, and then a voice, slightly lower than usual, sounded:

"There's an important message I need to take a look at."

Zhang Lexuan frowned, a growing sense of dissatisfaction rising within her, but not directed at Kong Ming'an.

It sounds strange, but the truth is, as time went on, she could no longer feel any negative emotions towards him.

More than anything, it is the desire to be completely dominated that grows wildly day by day and month by month.

How can the dominated have any negative emotions towards the dominant?

Her dissatisfaction was directed at the person who sent the message.

Why don't we just kill that person? That way, no one will bother them.

Zhang Lexuan narrowed her eyes. This untimely interruption filled her with an indescribable irritation, and her thoughts grew increasingly morbid and extreme.

Calming her thoughts, she didn't reveal anything. Instead, she carefully turned around, then used her hands to support herself and sit up.

The movement produced a series of faint sounds as metal chains were dragged along.

Ignoring everything else, she stretched out her jade-like arms, like vines, and gently wrapped them around Kong Ming'an's neck from the front, pressing her slightly flushed cheeks against his shoulder, as if trying to stop him from leaving.

Only after a moment, when she was certain he had no intention of leaving, did she whisper in his ear, "What happened?"

"It's about that Tang San."

Kong Ming'an let her hold him, his consciousness seemingly immersed in the information flow of the "Ling Shu Network." "He has been noticed by my employees, one of whom used contribution points from the Chamber of Commerce to apply for an information bounty."

"Judging from the situation, they seem to be quite calm, wanting to ascertain the information before taking action."

Zhang Lexuan slightly narrowed her eyes, which still shimmered with moisture in the darkness, like a cat. Her words were unhurried, revealing a languid elegance:

"Do you need my help?"

Although she has only recently assumed supreme power at Shrek Academy, a large part of her control over the school comes from the intimidating influence of Moon's power behind her.

Therefore, she was not very adept at using her power, but if she wanted to target a freshman, it would be a piece of cake.

Kong Ming'an gently shook his head, seemingly having withdrawn his attention from the "Ling Shu Network."

"There's no need," Kong Ming'an replied decisively, gently holding the soft, warm jade in his arms, placing his hand on her plump waist, and explaining with unusual patience.

"He's a valuable resource. Just leave him alone and let him grow naturally. There's no need to give him any special treatment, and it doesn't matter if he's targeted, as long as he doesn't die."

Zhang Lexuan understood slightly, and had already grasped Kong Ming'an's meaning.

She made a note of it, then pressed her red lips close to his earlobe, her warm voice whispering in his ear:

".continue?"

Kong Ming'an paused briefly, but without much hesitation, he leaned down and whispered, "Mm."

However, just as it was about to continue...

"Boom, boom, boom"

A few clear and restrained knocks abruptly shattered the warm, intimate atmosphere that had just begun to fill the room.

Outside the door, two slender figures stood side by side; they were Wu Ming and Han Ruoruo.

Chapter 123 I cannot be your husband, partner, and lover at the same time.

Since Zhang Lexuan was publicly announced by Mu En as the next successor of the Sea God and began to gradually take over the affairs of the academy,

Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming, who were originally Zhang Lexuan's friends, naturally became Zhang Lexuan's most capable right-hand women.

Han Ruoruo is meticulous and thorough in her work, and naturally took on a role similar to that of a "secretary-general," responsible for assisting Zhang Lexuan in handling complex paperwork and coordination.

Wu Ming, with her fiery temper but strong execution skills and formidable soul power, was primarily responsible for the implementation and supervision of various orders.

The previous collaborative project with Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce regarding the "renovation of freshman dormitory facilities" was led by Han Ruoruo in negotiation and planning, with Wu Ming responsible for leading the construction and coordination.

The two worked together to resolve the freshman dormitory issue before the start of the semester, preventing hundreds of freshmen from having to compete for a single toilet or communal shower room.

With their remarkable abilities and absolute loyalty to Zhang Lexuan, the two of them quickly adapted and became an indispensable core member of Zhang Lexuan's new power structure at Shrek Academy.

At this moment, Wu Ming looked at the tightly closed door and couldn't help but lower her voice to say to Han Ruoruo beside her:

"Is Sister Lexuan not here? Why is there no response after knocking for so long?"

Han Ruoruo looked thoughtful and gently shook her head: "Perhaps she's resting. Le Xuan has been too tired lately."

"Having just taken on so many tasks, there are so many things to do. Every time I get busy, I don't sleep for one or two weeks straight."

"I remember the last time she really took a break was about two weeks ago and a month ago. Both times she only rested for a few hours before going back to work,"

Upon hearing this, Wu Ming's face immediately showed a look of heartache and reluctance.

As Zhang Lexuan's friends and assistants, they all knew how heavy the burden was on her shoulders. Unless there was a truly urgent matter that required her decision, they would never want to bother her.

Just as Wu Ming hesitated whether to knock on the door again, the next moment,

"boom."

A soft thud suddenly came from inside the door, as if something had accidentally bumped into it.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Lexuan's voice, visibly exhausted as if she had just been forcibly awakened from a deep sleep, came through the door, her voice tinged with a barely perceptible hoarseness:

"Wu Ming, and Ruoruo?"

Hearing Zhang Lexuan's response from inside the door, Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, perked up, and asked anxiously through the crack in the door:

"Sister Lexuan, are you alright? Did we disturb your rest?"

Inside the door, Zhang Lexuan's voice was tinged with slightly heavy breathing:

"I'm fine, I was just resting and lost track of time." Her words were punctuated by noticeable pauses, her voice weak and visibly weary. "Did...something happen?"

Wu Ming blinked, her beautiful face full of confusion.

Sister Lexuan's speech was strange today, with pauses and breaks in her voice. Is it because she's been too tired from handling things lately?

She couldn't help but ask, "Sister Lexuan, why didn't you open the door and talk to me?"

“The room is a bit messy.” Zhang Lexuan said in a complete sentence, and after a pause, she said crisply with a hint of urging, “Never mind, just say it, what is it?”

Wu Ming blinked, confused, but still obeyed Zhang Lexuan's words and quickly explained her purpose:

"It's from the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce. Their vice president, Miss Orange, suddenly decided to visit, saying she wants to make detailed arrangements for future cooperation."

"The other party notified us of the arrival time in three hours. The matter is rather sudden, and we need you to come in person."

Zhang Lexuan inside the door was silent for a moment, then her voice came through. Although it still carried a hint of tired hoarseness, it was calm and had returned to normal:

"Okay, I'll be there on time."

Wu Ming paused, as if she wanted to ask something else.

Zhang Lexuan, who was inside the door, seemed to have guessed her thoughts and spoke first, her tone carrying an unquestionable decisiveness: "I'll take a shower and change my clothes and then come."

Hearing this, Wu Ming suppressed her strange feeling, responded, exchanged a glance with Han Ruoruo who had been silent beside her, then the two said goodbye and turned to leave.

Han Ruoruo followed behind Wu Ming, but her steps slowed slightly.

As she was about to turn the corner of the corridor, she couldn't help but turn back again, taking one last, deep look at the tightly closed door. A fleeting, almost imperceptible, suspicion flashed in her eyes.

Whether it was her imagination or not, during the pause in Zhang Lexuan's speech, she seemed to hear a suppressed breath, as if the speaker had been suddenly attacked.

In short, it felt very strange.

Moreover, she was certain that she heard a rustling sound from inside the room, something like the gentle clinking and dragging of metal chains.

Although the sound was extremely faint, she was all too familiar with it.

Years ago, the blood-red chain that the boy used made a sound very similar to this when it was dragged.

Although it sounds strange, she doesn't think she misheard because of her psychological trauma.

Looking at the closed door, Han Ruoruo pursed her lips, ultimately suppressing her surging doubts and burying them deep in her heart. She turned and quickly followed Wu Ming.

Since Le Xuan said everything was fine, then there shouldn't be any problem. I shouldn't worry about it so much.

Silence returned outside the door.

Inside the door, Zhang Lexuan's arms were wrapped around Kong Ming'an's neck like water snakes, her smooth back pressed against the cool wall, her feet not touching the ground.

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes shimmering with an undisguised, almost sickly, longing as she gazed at the handsome face so close to hers, her breath sweet as orchids.

"I think I understand what you like now."

Kong Ming'an raised his hand to smooth her sweaty hair, and denied it with a hint of helplessness: "It's just my imagination."

Somehow, perhaps because of the increasing frequency, he felt himself being gradually led astray by Zhang Lexuan. This was very strange.

Zhang Lexuan narrowed her dreamy eyes slightly, and her red lips curved into a smile that could captivate anyone.

"But it's more honest than you."

Kong Ming'an paused slightly, silently looking down at her, his eyes filled with complex and turbulent emotions.

After a moment, his tone became slightly more serious, carrying a hint of admonition:

"Sister Lexuan, I think this is wrong."

“The boundaries of the relationship need to be clear. I can’t be your master, controller, user, husband, partner, and lover at the same time. That’s too chaotic.”
