256: Even if it means forcibly taking it, I will get it—the Nine Netherworld Demon Dragon.

"Ahem! This... isn't quite right!"

A low cough escaped Qin Wushang's throat as he rotated his wrist slightly, sending her back several feet.

"What? Am I, this Chu Yuehua, not beautiful?"

Di Qingli's eyebrows furrowed slightly as her jade finger toyed with a strand of fallen hair, her eyes holding a hint of seductive reproach.

In his past life, Qin Wushang was clearly an out-and-out lecher!

He would flirt relentlessly with any woman of outstanding beauty, sweet talk flowing effortlessly, wishing he could take all the world's beauties into his embrace.

She had only started dating him after being confessed to many times!

But now, she, the dignified Palace Revered Master of the Emperor Heaven Palace and the top of the Taihuang Heaven's Rouge List, had come to him of her own accord, yet he put on such a cold and distant act!

A surge of indignation instantly welled up in her heart.

"Beautiful, naturally you are beautiful."

Qin Wushang spoke indifferently, his tone devoid of any emotion. "But do you take me for a fool?"

Given the status of the Lord of Taihuang Heaven, for her to condescend like this and take the initiative to show favor—if she had no ulterior motives, he wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death!

"That's true."

Di Qingli was stunned for a moment before snapping back to reality, a trace of embarrassment flitting across her jade-like face.

"I was being too forward."

She had actually forgotten that the Qin Wushang before her was not the Lord of Myriad Demons who held power over the Myriad Realms in his past life.

He was just a Heavenly God Realm Cultivator trapped in the Desolate Heaven Domain, having not yet experienced those glorious years of turning clouds and rain with a flip of his hand.

He didn't even know her; this was merely the first time he had met her.

She had foolishly treated him like the man who had repeatedly claimed to love her.

"I am not some shallow or loose person!"

Di Qingli coughed lightly, suppressing the emotions in her eyes, her voice turning a bit colder.

"It's just that seeing your extraordinary appearance and your talent, which is one in ten thousand, I was moved."

These words sounded like an explanation!

Hearing this, a faint, half-smile played on Qin Wushang's lips, but his gaze had already moved past her toward the distant battlefield.

There, the experts of the Ghost Spirit Clan were retreating in defeat, their ranks in shambles.

He raised his hand and drew his bow. Arrows condensed from profound light shot out, instantly piercing the foreheads of over a dozen Heavenly God Realm ghosts.

"You don't believe me?"

Di Qingli looked at his profile, her tone carrying a hint of urgency. "Every word I say is true! If you are willing to be my man, the entire Taihuang Heaven can be yours!"

"In Taihuang Heaven, you would be below only one person and above tens of millions! Cultivation resources would be yours for the taking; whatever the Emperor Heaven Palace has, it can be given to you!"

"Furthermore, you will be the Vice Palace Revered Master of the Emperor Heaven Palace. Aside from me, no one would dare disobey you!"

Such tempting conditions—looking across the Five Domains and Two Heavens, there probably wasn't a single man who wouldn't be moved!

But Qin Wushang only lifted his eyelids and spat out one word: "Conditions."

There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. This 'soft rice' looked sweet, but who knew what kind of hook might be hidden inside.

"There are no conditions!"

Di Qingli shook her head resolutely. After a moment's thought, she added, "If I must add one... from now on, you are not allowed to associate with that Demoness anymore!"

"Then there's nothing to talk about!"

Qin Wushang sneered and shook his head.

"I don't mind living off a woman, but if I have to abandon my other Dao Companions for it, then forget it."

With his abilities, why should he worry about not possessing the world's beauties?

Giving up an entire forest for a single tree?

It was simply a huge joke!

Call him a scumbag or a player; to him, those were just the idle gossips of others.

To live in this world and enjoy life while one can—that was the top priority!

Moreover, in his heart, he still held his Senior Sister and Revered Master!

"Is that Demoness really that good?"

Di Qingli bit her lip, a trace of unwillingness flashing in her eyes.

She asked herself: whether it was appearance, status, or strength, in what way was she inferior to that devil, Su Qingjue?

"Whether she's good or not has nothing to do with you."

Qin Wushang glanced at her, his tone indifferent.

"I have a Senior Sister and a Revered Master. You want me to abandon them for you?"

"I can't bring myself to do such scumbag behavior!"

"I, Qin Wushang, am at least a man who takes responsibility!"

Di Qingli: "..."

These words sounded reasonable, but upon closer inspection, they were all twisted logic!

Responsibility my foot! He was simply insatiable!

This point was exactly the same as in his past life!

Eating the young girl in the bowl while eyeing the beautiful woman in the pot!

"If you are willing, I can also be your Revered Master!"

Di Qingli still didn't give up, her jade-like face holding a touch of stubbornness. "Whatever Chu Yuehua can give you, I can give you as well, and I can even give you more!"

"Boom!!"

Before she could finish, a terrifying aura suddenly swept over, and the entire Nine Nether World shook violently.

Qin Wushang's expression changed slightly, and he abruptly looked toward the distance.

That was the direction where Su Feixue and the Heavenly Horned Ant had gone, and also where the immortal medicine grew!

"Whoosh!"

His figure flickered, turning into a brilliant stream of light that shot through the air, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

Watching his departing back without any lingering attachment, Di Qingli clenched her jade fists, her red lips parting as she murmured softly.

"Qin Wushang... Qin Wushang... Chu Yuehua... fate truly toys with people!"

If not for that damned suppression by the Great Dao, how could she have ended up in such a state, letting Chu Yuehua take the first advantage!

She was not reconciled!

This man had clearly loved her the most in his past life!

Back then, he would call her 'baby' one after another, making her, who held a high position, moved like never before.

The devil Qin Wushang had pried open her body and also pried open her heart, making her truly fall in love.

"No way!"

She suddenly raised her eyes, a resolute and fierce light flashing within them. Her voice suddenly rose, carrying a domineering obsession.

"I am also a Quasi-Emperor Expert, not inferior to Chu Yuehua in the slightest! Why can't I have what she has?"

"Qin Wushang, even if I have to snatch you, I will! If I can't have your heart, I'll have your body!"

"You were the one who said those words back then!"

...By the bank of the Nether River, Evil Qi soared to the skies!

A world-shaking battle was raging fiercely.

The turbid, ink-like Nether River water roared and churned, kicking up ten-thousand-foot-high black waves. Atop the crests of the waves, two pitch-black demon dragons thrashed their tails and roared, their dragon scales glinting with a cold light as they fought with a giant ant radiating ten thousand feet of golden light.

That giant ant was precisely the descendant of the Ten Ominous, Tian Jinlie!

Its six legs crushed the Void Realm, its golden ant body like a mountain crossing the sky, carrying a momentum as if it were splitting heaven and earth as it slammed into the demon dragons!

"Boom!"

A sky-shattering explosion erupted, and one of the Nine Nether Demon Dragons was actually sent flying. Its dragon body traversed hundreds of miles before crashing heavily into the Nether River, splashing black water everywhere.

"Roar!"

A shrill dragon roar tore through the firmament!

That demon dragon struggled to soar into the sky. The hideous dragon horns on its head were already broken, and pitch-black demon blood fell like raindrops, staining the river water below even darker.

"The Ten Ominous Bloodline is indeed overbearing!"

The Nine Nether Demon Dragons roared in unison, filled with rage, their voices shaking the river water into reverse.

"We are both of the Yao Race..."

"But you still deserve to die!"

"How dare you covet the precious immortal medicine guarded by us brothers? Today, we will surely grind your bones to ashes!"

Amidst the roars, the two demon dragons simultaneously channeled the power of the river veins. In an instant, towering black waves rose from the ground, seemingly wanting to swallow heaven and earth!

And right by the riverbank, a slender figure was quietly approaching that wondrous flower shrouded in wisps of profound light!

That was the myriad ghosts nurturing essence flower!

"Big brother! The immortal medicine is about to complete its final transformation. We must not let that woman touch it!"

"I will hold back this Heavenly Horned Ant descendant; you go quickly and kill that woman!"

One demon dragon roared sharply, ignoring its injuries as it once again lunged toward Tian Jinlie.

The other demon dragon, with an even more powerful aura, let out an ear-splitting roar. Its dragon body twisted like a bolt of black lightning, diving toward the riverbank with world-ending power, aiming directly for Su Feixue!

Su Feixue's eyebrows furrowed, and a demonic might erupted from her body. As her jade hand moved, a pitch-black lotus flower suddenly appeared.

Black Lotus of World Destruction!

The black lotus rapidly expanded, growing to the size of a mountain in the blink of an eye.

As the lotus petals opened and closed, endless Law of Destruction poured out, carrying a terrifying pressure that could swallow the world as it collided with the Nine Nether Demon Dragon!

"Roar!"

The Nine Nether Demon Dragon's roar shook the heavens, and it actually forced its way through that layer of destructive storm.

Its massive claw swiped down through the air, the pitch-black claw marks blotting out the sun, carrying a sharpness that could tear through the universe as it grabbed toward Su Feixue's head!

"Boom!"

At that moment, a brilliant blade light shot through the air, fast as a thunderbolt, actually splitting that sun-blotting claw mark in two!

Qin Wushang's figure already stood before Su Feixue!

His gaze was like lightning, locking onto that demon dragon.

"Leave this beast to me! You go quickly and seize the immortal medicine!"

Seeing this, the Nine Nether Demon Dragon immediately let out a savage roar, killing intent boiling in its eyes.

"A mere human ant of the Heavenly God Realm dares to be so insolent here? Get lost for this Saint!"
