Douluo Dragon King: Starting with a Flame Demon Roar!

Chapter 18: Cold Rain in the Secret Room

As Su Jiu and Leng Yaozhu walked further and further away, the wedding venue fell silent once again.

"Yun Ming, Leng Wuduan is a member of our Spirit Pagoda. Let me tell you, this matter cannot be left like this!"

"I, Qian Gu Dong Feng, here and now declare this!"

Qian Gu Dongfeng felt that now was the perfect time to cultivate his persona. He raised his eyebrows and pointed at Yun Ming, his sudden roar echoing through the crowd.

After saying this, Qian Gu Dongfeng felt relieved and left the place. Being with the likes of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect always made him feel uncomfortable.

Yun Ming ignored Qian Gu Dong Feng, thinking he was just a clown jumping around; he'd let him run wild for a few days.

He glanced at Long Yeyue, who was still glaring angrily, then looked back at Zang Xin, who was smiling as if he had given his consent to a deal. Finally, he sighed helplessly and put away the Sky-Piercing Spear.

This time, Yun Ming acted impulsively and failed to understand the situation on the spot in time, which hurt their feelings. Consider this an apology to them...

Finally, he picked up the list of betrothal gifts. The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, the Star Sword Ye family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Northern Plains Wang family, the Central Plains Xu family, the South Sea Qi family... all the titled Douluo who came to attend the wedding were dead. This was undoubtedly a disaster that struck their families.

It seems that the political landscape on the mainland will be reshaped after this incident. It remains to be seen how the Star Luo Empire will react upon learning of this.

Holy Spirit Cult, Holy Spirit Cult!

Yun Ming gazed at the distant clear sky, clenched his fists, and his hatred for the Holy Spirit Sect rose to a new level!

……

Shrek City, the Leng family.

"Old Su, why did you lock Second Sister in the dark room? She's so pretty, she probably doesn't like being in a dark room..."

Su Jiu bent down and pinched Na'er's chubby cheeks. They still felt nice, but Na'er was unhappy. She pulled his hand away and held it tightly with both of her hands.

Old Su always likes to pinch people's cheeks, and he's so rude and doesn't know how to be gentle with women. He's awful!

A playful glint appeared on his lips.

"Na'er, this little dark room is called the Secret Room. Sister Yu Lai did something wrong, and Sister Yao Zhu will have to go in and teach her a lesson later!"

"Of course, Na'er, if you don't listen to me, I'll lock you in a secret room and give you a good 'training.' Don't worry, Na'er, I'll do it the way you like best..."

As Su Jiu spoke, Na'er shook her head like a rattle-drum, and like a little quail, she kept backing away, a hint of fear appearing in her eyes.

"Old Su, Na'er will be a good girl, don't lock Na'er in the secret room..."

In the end, Na'er simply ran off on her short legs, clearly believing it.

"No, no, Na'er doesn't want to be locked in the secret room..."

Na'er's bedroom.

"Ajiu, that's how it is. Old Su wouldn't really do anything to Na'er..."

Ajiu displayed a speechless pixelated emoticon on the screen and lightly bumped Na'er's head.

"Ouch! Ajiu, what are you doing?"

"My little Na'er, you're not even six years old yet. Child abuse is a serious offense under federal law, you know that?"

"Also, don't overthink things all the time. Old Su is actually a pretty good person, and Na'er can choose to trust him a little more..."

Upon hearing this, Na'er's expression turned incredulous.

"No, Ajiu, why are you siding with outsiders? Is Lao Su a good person? He even lured us both here. Don't tease Na'er."

Su Jiu across from him smirked. "Alright, you little ingrate. You'll definitely get a free escape room meal later."

"Ajiu, why aren't you saying anything? Do you also think that King Na'er is right?"

"Na'er, you should know that time will prove someone is truly good to you. Please observe carefully and feel it with your heart..."

……

The Leng family's secret room.

"Da~ Da~"

In the deathly silent and dimly lit secret room, the crisp and rhythmic tapping of high heels on the floor suddenly rang out.

A wave of irritation washed over Leng Yulai, who was in a light sleep. She struggled to open her heavy, sore eyelids. All she could feel were cold, hard objects; she was clearly being held firmly in place.

A blinding white light suddenly shot in from the doorway, stinging her eyes.

She forced herself to endure the discomfort and looked up, only to see a fiery red figure standing in the light.

It's...it's Leng Yaozhu!

"Leng Yaozhu! I hate her..."

"Snapped!"

A sudden, burning pain shot through Leng Yulai's face, and it took her a while to regain her senses.

She was slapped hard by Leng Yaozhu.

She looked up, only to meet the other person's icy gaze.

Leng Yaozhu's face was as cold as ice, and her eyes were filled with undisguised disgust, as if she were looking at some filthy garbage.

The person in front of her was so unfamiliar that it made her heart tighten.

"cold……"

"Snapped!"

Another slap landed, rendering Leng Yulai unable to utter a complete sentence.

After countless slaps, Leng Yulai's face was swollen, and her eyes became increasingly resentful as she looked at Leng Yaozhu.

Leng Yaozhu sighed helplessly. Leng Yulai still had a lot of spirit. It seemed that fighting alone wouldn't be enough.

"Leng Yulai, let me make this clear first: I don't like Yun Ming at all right now. I have someone I like. Believe it or not, and I don't care what you think."

"Don't lie to me..."

"Bang!"

Just as Leng Yulai was about to interject, she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, and her towering breasts trembled and heaved violently.

Before anyone knew it, Leng Yaozhu had already thrown a punch, and Leng Yulai uncontrollably gushed out acidic fluid and blood.

"Get this straight, I'm not your sister anymore, I'm the head of the Leng family, and I don't have a sister like you! Without my permission, shut your mouth, do you hear me!"

"As a member of the Leng family, you willingly degenerated, joining the evil soul masters and becoming one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Darkness. Do you know how much trouble our Leng family has had to clean up for you, and how much ridicule we've endured from outsiders!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Leng Yaozhu suddenly threw a thick stack of papers at Leng Yulai's face.

That's the list of innocent people the Dark Phoenix has personally slaughtered over the years.

The list wasn't thick, but it still amounted to nearly a thousand pages, each page representing the pillar of a family. It was scattered all over the ground, almost completely covering the open space at her feet.

"What, do you think you're so great just because you're one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult?"

"Dad and Mom were both driven to their deaths by your actions, do you know that? Their only wish before they died was for you. They died with their eyes open, do you know that? It's all because of you! Leng Yulai!"

"I didn't even dare tell you the location of their graves, for fear that knowing would make them even more uneasy..."

After a moment of catharsis, Leng Yaozhu roughly pried open Leng Yulai's mouth and forced down her throat with an entire bottle of stimulants.

This drug can force a person to remain awake for a long time, making it impossible for them to even have a moment of rest.

The physical pain she had just experienced was ultimately too insignificant for her.

Su Jiu had already instructed that the only way to deal with Leng Yulai was to lay out the cruelest truth before her eyes, to subject her to mental and emotional torment, so that she might finally come to her senses and turn back from the wrong path.

"Don't even think about returning to the Holy Spirit Cult. If you fall into my hands, I'll imprison you for life. If you don't behave, I won't hesitate to cripple your cultivation, or even kill you!"

After saying this, Leng Yaozhu exhaled a breath of orchid fragrance and closed the door to the secret room with her backhand.

Darkness descended once more around them.

In the darkness, a tear, filled with endless regret, silently slid down, refracting a faint, cold light in the dim glow...
