Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Rose fell silent, took the red wine from the side, poured herself a full glass and downed it in one go, before she finally spoke: "Little man, do you still rember the reason I told you I wanted to create the Rose Society?"
"I rember, it was for revenge."
Lu Tianxing nodded. How could he not know Rose’s reason for creating the Rose Society? It was so that one day she could enter Shu and avenge her mother.
"Yes, to avenge my mother. I once was full of ambition, believing that if I unified Modu and beca the underground ruler, I could contend with the Shu Tang Family and avenge my mother. But today, the incident with the Han Family gave a resounding slap in the face. All my so-called efforts are actually so insignificant in the eyes of the real clans. I’m nothing but a frog in a well, foolishly dreaming of revenge."
At this point, a bitter smile appeared on Rose’s face: "Little man, do you think I’m very foolish, like an idiot, knowing my efforts are in vain and yet still persisting...?"
Lu Tianxing looked at the bitter smile on Rose’s face and let out a long sigh in his heart. He walked over to Rose, gently holding her in his arms. He understood Rose’s disappointnt. When you realize that everything you’ve worked for is just soone else’s starting point, the psychological gap and sense of loss are unimaginable.
"Little man, can we not seek revenge anymore?" Rose looked up, speaking softly like a wounded woman.
Lu Tianxing was slightly stunned: "Why."
"Because I’m afraid sothing will happen to you."
Rose spoke softly: "The Shu Tang Family, like the Han Family, has deep-rooted power in Shu. If we seek revenge, perhaps we’ll only find a dead end. I don’t want to see you get hurt."
Hearing Rose’s words, Lu Tianxing’s body trembled slightly, a difficult-to-describe feeling of being moved washed over him. He embraced Rose firmly. He never expected Rose to abandon her deep-seated vendetta for his safety. How deep must this love be to make such a choice?
Gently caressing Rose’s delicate face, Lu Tianxing smiled: "Why give up? I promised you long ago that one day I will take you to walk proudly into the Tang Family and avenge you. My strength now may not match the Tang Family, but in the future, it’s not necessarily so."
At this point, a confident look appeared on Lu Tianxing’s face as he said softly: "Besides, this is not the Rose I know. In my eyes, the Rose I know never has the word ’give up’ in her dictionary because she believes that she will succeed one day."
"Moreover, why has the Han Family beco a prestigious family in Beijing? It’s due to generations of inheritance building today’s foundation. Yet you’ve beco the underground ruler of Modu in just a short ti, and even Xiangjiang now respects you. Your achievents have already surpassed countless others. You shouldn’t belittle yourself, and don’t you still have ? I’m your man, and your enemies are mine too. I will surely help you get justice, believe , it won’t be too far off."
Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Rose looked up and said: "Little man, do you really want to avenge ?"
"Fool, when I chose to be with you, I promised that I would not only avenge you but also make you my woman in a wedding dress." Lu Tianxing gently touched Rose’s delicate face, smiling as he said.
"Mm, I believe you."
Rose nodded firmly, adjusting her mood, and her face once again showed a charming smile: "Little man, I didn’t expect you to be so good at comforting others. As a reward, do you want to feed you wine, mouth to mouth?"
"Uh!"
Seeing Rose’s seductive manner, the sudden change in atmosphere stunned Lu Tianxing, creating a bitter smile on his face. This little demon.
"Little man, you don’t want to?"
"No need."
Lu Tianxing shook his head fiercely. He didn’t want their intimacy to be seen by others, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "Rose, what are your plans next?"
"I plan to join forces with the Han Family first, gathering all the remnants of the Wang Family. Furthermore, Old Master Han isn’t wrong. The power of the Yama Palace, at least on the surface, is not inferior to the major families in Beijing, but it severely lacks real experts. Aside from you, there are hardly any, so I intend to recruit a group of experts to serve ."
"Recruit experts?"
Lu Tianxing frowned slightly, speaking in a serious tone: "Rose, that’s not sothing to take lightly. If you want to quickly form a force capable of competing with the families, you must recruit those in the Mythical Realm. Such people are all proud and unyielding, and a single misstep could hurt you."
Rose spoke softly: "Little man, I am aware of the risks. After arriving in Beijing, Lin Demon told sothing, saying Manman is a poison master feared in the Western World. With Manman’s help, recruiting experts in a short ti shouldn’t be too difficult."
"Do you plan to have Manman join the Yama Palace?"
"Of course not."
Rose shook her head and said: "Have you read ’The Smiling, Proud Wanderer’? You know about the terrors of the Blackwood Cliff’s ’Three Corpses Brain God Pill’ created by the undefeated Oriental, right? It’s a deadly poison crafted from three types of Corpse Worms. Once ingested, no symptoms appear on the surface, but co Dragon Boat Festival, if you don’t take the antidote in ti, the Corpse Worms will burst out. Once they reach the brain, the person’s actions beco ghostly and monstrous, able to eat even their kin without reservation."
"You plan to concoct that poison to control others?" Lu Tianxing asked, frowning.
"Yes, and no."
Rose shook her head and said: "This is reality, not a novel, so finding that many Corpse Worms isn’t possible, but there are Gu Worms. I plan to have Manman concoct a poison based on Gu Worm eggs. Once ingested by soone skilled in martial arts, they’ll need an antidote from every year. Otherwise, the Gu Worm will hatch and devour their internal organs. It can’t be driven out with True Qi; otherwise, they’ll suffer a grueso death. I plan to use this thod to control other experts to serve ."
"Rose, you’re playing with fire." Lu Tianxing spoke seriously. This thod seems simple and quick, allowing you to control soone to work for you, but it’s fraught with endless troubles. Once the opposing side finds a redy, the influence will collapse like a breached dam, unstoppable. It could disband overnight, and even the leader’s life would be in danger.
