Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 465: You’re Not Worthy of Ye Qingwu!

Fang Zimo pointed at Ye Qingwu and said, "Then let her be my concubine."

At these words, everyone present was stunned.

Ye Qingwu’s expression changed in an instant, and Lin Xuan’s brow furrowed. Are the members of the Fang Family still so reckless? It seems that the death of one of their own wasn’t a sufficient warning! And now this Fang Zimo dares to court death right in front of me!

Even Ye Ruxue was taken aback. She had considered many possible demands, but she had never expected a request like this. She said, "Young Master Fang, perhaps you are unaware, but my sister is already engaged. Her fiancé is Lin Xuan. Please, make another request."

Fang Zimo glanced at Lin Xuan with a hint of disdain. "Is that so? He’s just a nine-star Martial General, a mere ant. He’s completely unworthy of Ye Qingwu."

"Only I am worthy of her."

"In your dreams!" Ye Qingwu shot back. The Fang Family was truly detestable, coming after her time and time again.

"Fairy Qingwu, I think you should reconsider. It would be a great honor to marry Young Master Fang," one of the prodigies advised.

"Exactly! Do you have any idea how many women on Dragon Island dream of marrying Young Master Fang?"

"This is your chance. It’s a blessing that took three lifetimes to earn."

"You should agree immediately! What are you standing around for?"

The surrounding prodigies all chimed in, urging her to accept.

Ye Qingwu said coldly, "Whoever wants to marry him can go right ahead. I certainly won’t." After speaking, she turned to leave.

However, Ye Ruxue did not move; she remained standing there.

"Second Sister!" Ye Qingwu cried out.

A smile crept onto Fang Zimo’s lips. "It seems there are differing opinions within your Ye Family! Ye Ruxue, you are Ye Qingwu’s older sister. When you are out in the world, it is naturally up to you to make all the decisions. Now, I ask you: do you agree to my condition?"

Hearing this, Ye Qingwu grew anxious. Second Sister won’t agree, will she?

Ye Ruxue’s eyes flickered for a moment, but she ultimately let out a sigh. "I’m sorry, I cannot agree."

The marriage alliance between the Ye and Fang Families had only been considered before because Ye Qingwu was single. But things were different now. Madam Ye had publicly declared Lin Xuan as Ye Qingwu’s fiancé. The entire Dragon Island knew about it. If they were to break their word now, they would be seen as faithless. The Ye Family would be utterly disgraced, and they simply could not afford to lose face like that.

Therefore, Ye Ruxue still refused.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Xuan was also taken aback. He had thought she would agree on Ye Qingwu’s behalf. It seems she’s not beyond saving after all. If Ye Ruxue had actually agreed, he wouldn’t have cared if she lived or died in the ensuing fight. He would not have saved her. But now... he changed his mind. He would save her life this one time.

Fang Zimo’s face darkened. He hadn’t expected them to dare refuse him. "So it seems the Ye Family doesn’t really want the Divine Soul Recovery Pill after all!" he said coldly.

The surrounding prodigies also frowned.

"What a bunch of idiots."

"What is the Ye Family thinking? Turning down such a chance to marry up... have they gone mad?"

"Ye Qingwu’s fiancé is just a lowly Nine-star Martial General, a piece of trash."

"What does he have to compare with Young Master Fang?"

"Young Master Fang could crush him with a single finger."

The crowd sneered and mocked them.

Even the short-haired woman frowned and whispered, "Ruxue, haven’t you always hated that Lin Xuan? Why are you helping him now?"

"I’m not helping him. I’m preserving the Ye Family’s honor."

It was true that she despised Lin Xuan, but he was now the Ye Family’s son-in-law. Their squabbles were an internal family matter. They could fight all they wanted within the family, but when the Ye Family faced an external threat, they had to present a united front.

Thinking of this, Ye Ruxue sighed. It seemed there was no chance of getting the Divine Soul Recovery Pill this time. "In that case, we will take our leave."

With that, she turned to go.

Thinking of leaving? Fang Zimo snorted. "What do you think this place is? A place you can come and go as you please? You want to leave? Did you ask for my permission?"

WHOOSH.

The young prodigies around them blocked their path. Spiritual Power erupted from their bodies, surging toward Ye Qingwu’s group of three like a tidal wave.

Ye Qingwu’s face changed drastically.

Ye Ruxue was furious. "Get out of my way, or don’t blame me for what happens next!"

She was a Three-star Grandmaster, a peerless talent in her own right. She had her pride. She had only been deferential earlier because she was asking a favor of the Fang Family. Now that negotiations had failed, she saw no reason to bow her head any longer.

"I’ll say it one last time: get out of my way!" she said coldly. With that, she thrust her palm forward, sending the few geniuses in front of her flying.

The remaining geniuses’ faces paled. They never expected Ye Ruxue to be so powerful. They attacked her in unison, but she still knocked them to the ground.

"Did you really think I was someone to be trifled with?" Ye Ruxue said coldly. She wasn’t just a Three-star Grandmaster; she was at the peak of the Three-star level. Ordinary geniuses of the same rank were no match for her.

Just as she was about to break through the encirclement, Fang Zimo made his move.

His figure flickered like a gust of wind, and he instantly appeared before Ye Ruxue, striking out with his palm.

Ye Ruxue moved to dodge, but she wasn’t fast enough.

SLAP.

A heavy slap struck her across the face, sending her to the ground. She let out a pained scream as her face swelled up instantly. Her head spun and she saw stars; the slap had nearly knocked her unconscious.

"You dare hit me?" Ye Ruxue covered her face, her eyes blazing with fury.

Growing up, no one had ever dared to strike her, not even her own parents. But now, in front of this whole crowd, she had been brutally slapped across the face.

"I’ll kill you!" Ye Ruxue shrieked. She scrambled up from the ground and thrust both palms toward Fang Zimo.

A ball of lightning, pulsing with destructive power, shot from her palms.

The onlookers’ expressions changed. What a terrifying Palm Technique!

But Fang Zimo just sneered. He simply clenched one hand into a fist and punched. The punch flew like a meteorite, instantly shattering the ball of lightning.

With a loud bang, Ye Ruxue was sent flying once again, landing far in the distance. She spat out a mouthful of blood, her face turning deathly pale.

Fang Zimo retracted his fist and stood with his hands clasped behind his back. "A mere Three-star Grandmaster dares to challenge me?" he said proudly. "You truly don’t know your own limits."

"You want to leave? Fine. Kneel before me and kowtow ten times. If I’m in a good mood after that, I might let you go."

Ye Ruxue’s expression turned grim. He wants me to kneel and kowtow? What a joke! Impossible! I am the Second Miss of the Ye Family, a prodigy of my clan! How could I possibly kneel and kowtow to him?

"In your dreams!"

Fang Zimo sneered. "If you don’t kneel and kowtow, then don’t even think about leaving." His gaze then fell upon Ye Qingwu, a greedy light flickering in his eyes. "Of course, if Qingwu changes her mind and agrees to marry me, we’ll be one big family. Then, naturally, I’ll let you all leave."

"In your dreams!" Ye Qingwu also refused flatly.

Fang Zimo’s anger flared. "Since you refuse my kindness, don’t blame me for my cruelty!"

The surrounding prodigies began to chime in again. "Ye Ruxue, do you still think you’re the great Second Miss of the Ye Family? Take a look at your family’s situation!"

"The Ye Family is just a second-rate family, while the Fang Family is a first-rate one. You dare defy Young Master Fang? You must be tired of living!"

"Hurry up and kneel, kowtow, and apologize to Young Master Fang! Otherwise, you’re dead!"

"That’s right! He’s only asking you to kneel and apologize. He’s already showing you great mercy!"

"Keep being arrogant, and see if we don’t cripple you!"

"And you, Ye Qingwu! You must be out of your mind to refuse Young Master Fang!"

"Hurry up and agree to become Young Master Fang’s concubine. A life of wealth and glory awaits you!"

"Otherwise, if you anger Young Master Fang, you’re dead for sure!"

Fang Zimo added, "If you don’t kneel and beg for mercy, I’ll have no choice but to cripple your cultivation and turn you into useless trash."

Hearing this, Ye Ruxue’s face drained of color. Do I really have to kneel? I can’t accept this! I just can’t!

Ye Qingwu was also filled with despair.

Just then, Lin Xuan stepped forward. He said coldly, "Kneel before you? And who do you think you are?"
