205: Chapter 205 The Truth of the Butterfly! The Queen's Fall

"Alright, leave it to me and my sister," Cai Die obediently replied. Colorful Glass didn't object, nodding coldly: "Mm."

Since that Dual Cultivation session where they bathed in lightning, Colorful Glass no longer competed with Cai Die for the status of elder sister.

Aside from Cai Die's remark that "as time goes on, the gap between us will only grow wider," which indeed held some threat...

It was also because afterward, Cai Die spoke a truth that she couldn't refute.

"The title of brother-in-law is just a joke."

"In the future, you will eventually become husband's woman."

"Why do you think I would take an interest in Gu Han?"

"Why do you think I would become one of his women?"

"I am Queen Medusa; I will recruit a husband in the future."

Colorful Glass flatly denied the possibility Cai Die mentioned.

Cai Die wasn't angry at all; instead, she spoke with rare calm and logic: "If you hadn't chosen this face when you transformed, there might be a sliver of possibility for what you said. But you chose this face, and now when we face each other, we don't even need a bronze mirror."

"I am Gu Han's woman. Do you think he would allow you, a woman with the same face as me, to give yourself to another man?"

"From the moment he let down his guard against you, gave you resources to help you Cultivate, and helped you become stronger without worry, you should have understood this."

"If you have a change of heart, both the man you like and you yourself will die!"

Colorful Glass had never thought of this; Cai Die's words were like a wake-up call.

Yet, strangely, she felt no regret in her heart. Instead, there was a sense of logical secret joy, which made her stubborn: "The original owner of this face was me. It should have been you who entered the body of the Purple Nether Flame Snake back then."

"Don't talk about 'back then' anymore. To put it bluntly, you were the one who was asking for it, breaking the agreement to flirt with husband."

"You should be glad husband still had a Purple Nether Flame Snake body in his hands; otherwise, you would have already been killed."

Saying this, Cai Die gave a light snort and brought the topic back: "In any case, in this life, you either have no man, or the only man you can find is Gu Han."

"Otherwise, even if husband doesn't mind and doesn't force it, I won't allow you to use a face identical to mine to find another man."

"Every so often, I will perform joint cultivation with you to know your thoughts. If there's a problem, I'll kill you immediately."

"You know, the more you keep your distance from husband, the more your growth rate won't match mine. Soon, I'll be strong enough to kill you in an instant."

Colorful Glass was very displeased with Cai Die's threat, but she found she couldn't refute it, nor could she be stubborn.

Cai Die also understood the principle of using both the carrot and the stick. After the threat, she persuaded: "Sister, you need to change your mindset. Since you can't refuse some things, then enjoy them."

"I know you just as you know me; you'd rather die alone than settle for just any man."

"Having seen an outstanding man like husband, could you still take an interest in other men?"

"Since you're destined to become husband's woman in the future, why not exercise your rights earlier?"

"That way, however much I get from husband, you can get just as much. We will always be good sisters moving forward together."

Colorful Glass found herself persuaded, without the slightest reluctance in her heart.

It was also then that she understood her own heart. Although she hadn't thought it through as clearly as Cai Die, she had already understood the logic.

But even if she had made a decision in her heart, taking the initiative to step forward was still somewhat difficult.

And Gu Han had never taken the initiative either, which actually made her feel a bit resentful.

Consequently, the expression on her face became colder and colder.

"Go!"

Cai Die and Colorful Glass attacked simultaneously. The Dou Qi in their bodies flowed and condensed into rainbow-colored beams in their hands, merging into the space.

Only now did Fan Ling realize: "You, you're going to deal with my father!?"

"That's right." Gu Han mobilized his Dou Qi to condense an icy chair for himself to sit on, stating his plan directly: "You didn't think a group like us came to the Black-Corner Region just for sightseeing, did you?"

"The Black-Corner Region is the most chaotic area in the Northwest Continent and one of the regions that directly borders other parts of the continent. It's very suitable for gathering and spreading intelligence."

"My Cloud Mist Sect now dominates most of the Jia Ma Empire, Mu Lan Empire, Izumo Empire, and Luo Yan Empire. Naturally, we won't be content with the status quo."

"It's necessary to build a bridgehead and an intelligence gathering hub in the Black-Corner Region."

"The two strongest forces in the north are the Blood Sect established by Fan Lao and the Rakshasa Gate built by Su Mei."

"Originally, I was still hesitating about which piece of land to choose as a foothold, but you've helped me make the choice."

Hearing this, Fan Ling's eyes nearly split from rage as he roared: "My Blood Sect hasn't provoked the Cloud Mist Sect. What right do you have to say you're coming to destroy us?"

"Hmm?" Gu Han looked at Fan Ling as if he were an idiot: "This is the Black-Corner Region."

Fan Ling: "..."

"A place where only fists matter." Yun Yun drew her long sword and gently wiped it with a handkerchief, a sharp glint hidden in her eyes: "The downsides are obvious—no order, full of intrigue and foul atmosphere everywhere."

"But the benefits are also obvious: if you're strong enough, you can have everything."

"Coincidentally, this Sect Master is strong enough."

If the Xiao Family and the Cloud Mist Sect were in the Black-Corner Region, the resolution to the Three-Year Agreement back then would likely have been a Dou Wang coming to the door to uproot the Xiao Family, or forcing the Xiao Family to pay a massive amount of compensation for the trash Xiao Yan dragging down Nalan Yanran's reputation.

"Shut up."

Gu Han didn't want to hear Fan Ling's clamoring and raised his hand to seal his mouth with ice.

Next was the waiting period. Gu Han simply took out a Demonic Beast and began roasting it.

About half an hour later, Fan Lao appeared in the mid-air nearby with four Blood Sect experts at the Dou Wang level.

Fan Ling wanted to shake his head, wanted to speak, wanted to self-detonate, but found his body stiff; he could do nothing.

He could only watch helplessly as Fan Lao led the men to the front of the Immortal Cave.

Cai Die and Colorful Glass immediately acted, sealing the space.

Yun Yun's expression changed, her long sword glowing with a green light, and her wind-attribute Sword Intent almost materialized.

Fan Lao and the others: ?

Under absolute strength, Fan Lao was directly decapitated.

Three of the four Dou Wangs tried to flee immediately, only to crash into a rainbow energy barrier combined with spatial power.

The last Dou Wang reacted quickly, kneeling with a "thud": "I am willing to submit."

This set a good precedent, and the other three Dou Wangs also immediately knelt, expressing their willingness to surrender.

Only then did Gu Han leisurely stand up, performing a movement Dou Technique to plant a Turtle-Snake Seal on each of the four people.

After setting the restrictions, Gu Han took the four people separately into a previously built secret cave room within the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm for interrogation.

With the Turtle-Snake Seal, he could tell if the four were lying and how much of their inner emotions were genuine.

After separate interrogations, he obtained the intelligence he wanted, without needing the Xuanwu Shell to investigate later.

"Tsk, I didn't expect such an unexpected surprise!"
