Chapter 163: Chapter 163 Ming Ze (II)

A/N: I will resume the story by not capitalizing the first three or four words because the style is already annoying me. I don’t know why I did that in the first place. Regardless, the story continues as it is. Let me also take this opportunity to thank those who have made it this far. Your support means a lot to me. My gratitude to you is beyond words.

When Ming Ze and the other two finally entered the sect master’s hall, they immediately felt the oppressive pressure coming at them. It made the latter two take some steps back.

“Mingyue!” Ming Ze called out, dumbstruck by the beauty he saw right before his eyes. When he saw how slender her exposed legs were while sitting down, his jaw almost dropped to the ground by a large fraction.

“Who are you?” Lan Mingyue’s tone was commanding, like an empress born in ancient times. “What are you doing here in my sect? Why did you come here? What’s your purpose—”

“W-Wait a moment, M-Mingyue—”

“Don’t you dare casually call the sect master’s name or I’ll kill you!” The Deputy Sect Master held the grip of her sword on the side of her body. “If you want to get out of here alive, you must answer the sect master’s questions. If you’re smart enough, you should know what I mean.”

“Heh,” Ming Ze merely scoffed and ignored her. Instead, he continued to look at Lan Mingyue. He only had his eyes on her all this time. She was the embodiment of perfection in his eyes. “Mingyue… d-do you not remember me?”

“It’s difficult to remember an ant. Now, state your name and your purpose. I don’t want to keep things like this,” Lan Mingyue replied, her tone still demanding. “Well, if you don’t mind me killing you, I will not hesitate to do it.”

Ming Ze merely scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. “You actually forgot about me, Mingyue? I’m Ming Ze, the one your father and my master vowed to become your husband.”

“How dare you speak about my father in front of me?!” A wave of pressure swept across the entire hall.

Except for Ming Ze and the other two, everyone in the hall could barely stand due to the pressure.

“Mingyue, you have to calm down. I, Ming Ze, am only here to ask for your hand in marriage!” He saluted with his right hand on his chest, his eyes firm while looking at Lan Mingyue.

“Huh? You’re Ming Ze? That brat who could only cry for getting bullied by me?” Lan Mingyue looked confused and stared at Ming Ze like she was looking at an idiot. “Why would I want to marry a weakling like you? You’re such a crybaby!”

On the other hand, Hai Tao, who was looking at the Deputy Sect Master’s body, was shocked when he heard how Ming Ze was described by Lan Mingyue—a crybaby. He never thought that his big brother had such a dark past.

“Big brother, d-did you really—”

“Zip your mouth, Hai Tao. I didn’t ask you to talk,” Ming Ze said, with a gloomy look on his face. “Cai Hong, you, too, don’t look like you’re amused at your senior brother’s past.”

“Alright,” Cai Hong casually replied, which even infuriated Ming Ze.

“You!”

“Ming Ze, you should go back to where you came from. Go back to your master and kiss his ass. How did you have the courage to ask for my hand for marriage?” Lan Mingyue’s eyes turned sharp as she looked at the man before her. “You’ve grown up. You should marry someone else. I don’t want to marry a weak person like you.”

Ming Ze’s eyes turned bloodshot and he almost coughed blood in anger. “How dare you humiliate me in front of others?!”

He released his aura, which made all the chuckling elders turn pale in fright. Even the Deputy Sect Master was shocked by the revelation of Ming Ze’s cultivation.

“Ming Ze! You’re going too far!” Lan Mingyue shouted at him and also released her aura. “If you want to fight, just fight me directly. You don’t need to injure my people.”

“Just marry me already, Mingyue! I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time! Other than this opportunity, you won’t be able to find a genius as handsome as I am! Even the geniuses in the Autonomous Region were nothing but ants to me!”

Cai Hong inwardly sneered at his senior brother’s proclamation. If the best geniuses in the Autonomous heard of his declaration now, they would have already beaten him up to a pulp. Fortunately, he was not a cheeky fellow. Hence, he just shut his mouth in response.

‘However, I am still feeling that fear from before. Why am I feeling afraid?’

He was certain that the number of Saint Kings here was close to none. If not for Lan Mingyue’s presence, the Third Region would literally be the weakest. Even if there was Lan Mingyue, she still could not hold a candle against the Saint Kings from the other regions, even more so when she was still at the early stage of the Saint King Realm.

“Shameless!” The Deputy Sect Master could not stand it anymore and knelt on the ground while her chest was heaving in so much pain from the pressure from the clash of Saint Kings.

“If you want to die, you can die. However, let my junior brother taste your flower first. By the way, Hai Tao’s a virgin. Feel honored to be fucked by him!”

Hai Tao had long been eyeing the Deputy Sect Master for a long time and Ming Ze naturally recognized this beast’s yearning eyes.

She was the best partner he could ever have. It was true that although there were several beautiful women in the Autonomous Region, they were all geniuses he could not surpass, so he could choose from here—and to his surprise, every lady in this sect did not have bad shapes. In fact, the Deputy Sect Master herself, except for Lan Mingyue, was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen!

“Deputy Sect Master!” the elders chorused.

“That’s rape, Ming Ze! How have you become like this?!” Lan Mingyue was truly furious this time. She remembered how the Deputy Sect Master was also defiled by a man and was left by him later on.

She was like her big sister, accompanying her while slowly building the Sirin Grave Sect to how it was now. The Deputy Sect Master was someone close to her. Defiling her while she was powerless to do anything was something she could not stand.

‘What should I do?’ Lan Mingyue was faced with such a crisis she didn’t know she would be able to overcome. After all, the other side had three Saint Kings, a large contrast if compared to them who only had her as the Saint King. Even if she could fight Ming Ze like an equal despite the difference in their cultivation, she couldn’t guarantee what the other two would do to her sisters in the sect.

She was strict with the elders and the others, but she would never wish for their doom like this one. Closing her eyes, she tried to find ways to get out of this situation, but Ming Ze’s voice sounded again in the entire hall.

“What about it, Mingyue? Would you accept my hand now? If you don’t, you can just watch my junior brothers defile everyone here in this hall. My junior brothers are quite wild, you know? Look at them, Mingyue! Do you want them to suffer?! Or do you want to accept my hand for marriage?”

Lan Mingyue suppressed the rage inside her heart as she glanced slightly at the women in the hall. Then, she stared at the man who was trying to force her into a marriage she didn’t want. “What do you want?” she said, with gritted teeth.

Ming Ze then licked the side of his lips as he looked at her like someone who was yearning for her body. “What do I want? Of course, if you don’t want to have sex with me right here and now, I will let my junior brothers defile all of them!”

Lan Mingyue was about to explode when Ming Ze suddenly laughed.

“Mingyue, since you humiliated me like this earlier, why don’t I return the favor?” Ming Ze said as he smiled. “Strip.”

“What?” Lan Mingyue was dumbstruck. Her face then turned sour. “W-What did you just say?”

“I said strip! If you don’t want to strip in front of me, then I’ll strip you myself!”

“Shameless prick!” the elders shouted, including the Deputy Sect Master herself, who was busy defending herself against Hai Tao.

Ming Ze’s mental power spread throughout the hall. He almost froze Lan Mingyue still with his mental power alone. It was so powerful that Lan Mingyue had to use her full mental power to counter his attack.

“Even if I have to die, I don’t want to end up defiled by a rapist like you!”

“Fuck you!”

“Fuck you, too!”

After saying that, she suddenly felt a hand caress the right side of her waist, just like a gentle breeze that brushed through her bare skin.

“In the Realm of Da Sishen, I did not often encounter men like you, but to think I kept on encountering shameless people like you in this realm… it’s so stressful… and hateful. I’m not a saint, but I can’t tolerate you doing things to women like this.”

Yang Lujia promised himself to not interfere when someone needed his help, even if they were women who were being harassed like this, but such thoughts were defied by his feelings about a similar experience he had undergone on Earth.

Then, with the eyes of the women on him, including Lan Mingyue’s, he stared at Ming Ze with sharp eyes and said, “Men like you do not deserve a place in this world.”
