All it took was a little spark to set it off, and it would explode! Shao Siming was that very spark, successfully igniting their conflict.
Hmph, I'm just too smart! she thought, feeling quite proud of herself.
She waited until Ning Yuexi forcefully hung up the phone before cheekily sidling up to her. "What's wrong? It was just a tiny issue, right? Why were you two yelling so loudly?!"
Ning Yuexi stared at her for a few seconds, not wanting to deal with her at all. She turned to leave.
Just as Shao Siming was about to eagerly follow, the space behind her suddenly tore open. An ice-cold voice ca through, "So... it's you stirring up trouble again? It seems you won't shed a tear until you see your own coffin!"
"Who's there?" Shao Siming yelped, startled. She spun around abruptly.
WHOOSH!
A flying sword shot out of the spatial rift. Bent into the shape of a fishhook, it precisely hooked Shao Siming and began dragging her back toward the tear in space.
"Ah, Yuexi, save !" Shao Siming's face turned ashen as she reached out a desperate hand toward Ning Yuexi.
Ning Yuexi turned around and was utterly shocked. There was no ti to react!
Besides, with her ager cultivation, could she have done anything even if she had the ti? All she could do was watch helplessly as Shao Siming was dragged inside. The spatial rift then snapped shut, vanishing as if it had never been there.
Wu Shao and the others were dumbfounded. "What... what just happened?! How did a living person just vanish into thin air in the blink of an eye? Did we just see a ghost?"
"Haha, they call that 'joy turning to sorrow,' and this is it!"
"Serves her right! That despicable woman, bullying us like that!"
"Did you guys hear a man's voice?"
"Yeah, he said..."
"Didn't he sound like State Preceptor Long?"
"How is that possible? Isn't State Preceptor Long getting married in the capital? That's thousands of kiloters away!"
"State Preceptor Long is the War God! Since he's a god, he can naturally perform miracles!"
"He won't hold us responsible, will he...?"
"State Preceptor Long is wise and discerning! He'll know we were forced into it!"
Ning Yuexi quickly ran back over. Hearing their chatter, she realized it was most likely Lin Tang who had captured Shao Siming. She was shocked and worried, yet she also found the situation so absurd she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Lin Tang's thods are getting more and more terrifying. To think he can snatch soone through the air from so far away. Just a mont ago, soone online said they weren't afraid of him coming through the internet cable to beat them up. Whoever said that was far too naive. I just hope Lin Tang doesn't actually kill Shao Siming... It wasn't easy turning from enemies to friends with Lady Xuan. If we beco enemies again over Shao Siming, it's just not worth it!
As for why she found it absurd, it was because Lin Tang—a grown man and a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator—still had such a childish side to him.
Ning Yuexi hurriedly used her own phone to call Lin Tang, hoping to persuade him to show rcy, but the call wouldn't go through. She then tried a Communication Talisman, but there was still no response.
Left with no other choice, she had to quickly send a ssage to Da Siming to report what happened.
"What? What are we to do?!" Upon learning what had transpired, Da Siming's expression darkened, and she was filled with regret.
I never should have been so soft-hearted, agreeing to let Shao Siming go to the mortal realm to use that so-called 'internet.' It's only been a few hours, and she's already caused a huge disaster...
From Da Siming's perspective, Long Tianji was an unpredictable madman. The likelihood of him killing Shao Siming was frighteningly high.
Deeply worried, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and report the matter to Lady Xuan.
Lady Xuan slowly awoke. Upon learning it was over such a trivial matter, she fell silent for a long mont. "Have I been too indulgent with you all? Waking for every little thing. You are all getting too presumptuous!"
Da Siming hurriedly knelt, trembling with fear. "Please forgive , Your Grace! This concerns Ruoruo's life... As your disciple, I promise, if we can save her this ti, I will lock her away to reflect on her actions. I will never allow her to go out again..."
Lady Xuan fell silent once more.
"I will go and return shortly."
Her grand visage slowly faded away.
「Elsewhere, in Lin Tang and Jiang Mulu's bridal chamber.」
They had both gotten dressed again. Lin Tang had also reverted to his Long Tianji disguise. He sat down at the desk, looking like an imperial envoy about to conduct an interrogation.
As the spatial rift tore open and spat Shao Siming out onto the floor, Lin Tang slamd his hand on the desk.
SLAM!
"Audacious wench! Kneel and confess your cris at once!"
Jiang Mulu, struggling to suppress her laughter, played along as if she were a court clerk or bailiff, yelling for Shao Siming to confess honestly.
Shao Siming stumbled and fell to the floor. Just as she tried to get up, she felt the cold blade of a sword rest motionlessly on the back of her neck, making the hair all over her body stand on end. She knew that if she tried to force herself up, her head would almost certainly roll. Overco with humiliation, she could only remain kneeling, glaring at Lin Tang and gritting her teeth. "Long Tianji, do you have any sense of reason? I did nothing! What cri am I supposed to have committed?"
Lin Tang couldn't be bothered to argue with her. "I say you are guilty, and therefore you are guilty. What, you don't accept it?"
"You!"
"Darling, how do you think I should sentence this criminal?" Lin Tang asked, turning to his bride.
Jiang Mulu was about to speak when Shao Siming, deciding to risk it all, spoke rapidly to her. "You must be the Central Earth Princess! I'm telling you, Long Tianji is a two-timing, cheating scoundrel! That Ning Yuexi who just called him? He spent an entire day and night with her just a few days ago..."
"What?" Jiang Mulu trembled, her face a mask of disbelief. She pointed a finger at Lin Tang's nose. "You... you... you..."
Hmph! Shao Siming was filled with bitter resentnt but also a perverse satisfaction. She clearly had an "if I'm going down, I'm taking you with " attitude.
Just as she expected Jiang Mulu to be heartbroken, to start yelling at Long Tianji and demanding a divorce, what Jiang Mulu actually said was—
"You can last a whole day and night with soone else, but with , it's less than half an hour? That is so unfair!"
CLANG!
Shao Siming completely collapsed, nearly smashing her forehead on the floor.
