"You—"
Tang San looked at Fang Xian's six outstretched wings and involuntarily took a step back.
"How is this possible! Your 'evil' aura is even stronger than mine?"
"You—you're not human!"
"Slap!"
Fang Xian instantly slapped Tang San across the face, sending him flying.
"Boom!"
Tang San was slammed into the ground, creating a large crater.
This was only because Fang Xian had shown mercy; otherwise, that slap would have certainly killed Tang San.
"Sect Leader Tang, watch your mouth."
"Bang!"
Tang San shattered the pile of rocks and flew out of the crater, his eyes filled with shock.
He had originally planned to use the 100,000 strands of "black gas" to absorb blood and qi, helping him further improve his strength.
He never expected to encounter someone with Fang Xian's extreme evil physique, ruining his entire plan.
Damn it!
If it weren't for Fang Xian, his 100,000 streams of "black gas" could have slaughtered tens of millions of people in Qingchuan City, and then absorbed all of humanity before the "Demon God" descended.
At that time, even if he couldn't defeat the "Demon God," he could have hidden himself.
Once the "Secret Realm" opened, he could have made a quick getaway and lived a carefree life there.
But now…
His plans were completely ruined by Fang Xian!
Tang San glared fiercely at Fang Xian, wishing he could devour him alive.
He looked at the tearful Mu Yunzhi with extreme disgust.
"You bitch! If I hadn't been merciful and hadn't killed you immediately, I wouldn't be in this state today."
Mu Yunzhi's eyes were filled with shock and pain, her hand covering her mouth trembled slightly, and tears involuntarily fell.
"Third Brother, turn back... Xiao Wu and I are willing to wait for you to turn back."
"Turn back? Ridiculous!"
Tang San's eyes turned icy, his expression gradually becoming ferocious.
"I've endured for so many years, all for the sake of going to the 'Secret Realm' to find the Tang Clan's ancestors! To prove to them that I, Tang San, am the strongest genius in the Tang Clan's history!"
"You want me to turn back?"
"Impossible!"
Tang San looked at Mu Yunzhi, growing angrier with each passing thought. If it weren't for Mu Yunzhi's tip-off, the "black gas" would have already elevated his strength to a higher level, and he wouldn't have been afraid of Fang Xian then.
"It's all your fault! Die!"
Tang San roared, and several eerie black hands surged from behind him, attacking Mu Yunzhi.
Mu Yunzhi could feel that if the eerie hands struck her, she would surely die.
Sure enough, the Tang San before her was no longer the Third Brother Mu Yunzhi loved.
Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.
Mu Yunzhi slowly closed her eyes, awaiting release.
"Bang!"
Just then, Fang Xian slapped away all the strange, attacking hands.
Mu Yunzhi slightly opened her eyes, looking at the tall figure protecting her. As if remembering something, tears streamed down her face.
Fang Xian's expression was icy, his voice low and deep.
"You're courting death!"
He flapped his wings and soared into the sky, charging towards Tang San.
Tang San's eyes were filled with madness as he made a final, hysterical struggle.
"Die! Die!"
Countless strange black hands surged forth from behind him, attacking Fang Xian.
Fang Xian's eyes were resolute, unwavering, piercing through all the blackness to appear before Tang San.
"Die!"
"Bang!"
Fang Xian unleashed a punch, and Tang San's entire body exploded, turning into a shower of black blood.
He stared at Tang San's storage ring in his hand, his expression complex.
Tang San was dead, killed by his hand.
Fang Xian sighed softly. Tang San's choice was destined for certain death; there was no need for him to dwell on it.
He turned to the tearful Mu Yunzhi, slowly flying to her side and gently embracing her.
"Auntie, it's okay to cry."
Mu Yunzhi trembled slightly, her hands clutching Fang Xian's clothes tightly, tears streaming down her face, soaking his chest.
Fang Xian silently held Mu Yunzhi, saying nothing, simply keeping her company.
After an unknown amount of time, Mu Yunzhi stopped crying and slowly pushed away from Fang Xian's embrace.
Her hair was disheveled, her eyes red and swollen as she stared at the spot where Tang San had died, as if she had made a decision.
In that instant, Fang Xian knew something was wrong.
The image of Mu Yunzhi wanting to die was still vivid in his mind; now, with that resolute expression, it was clear she didn't want to live anymore.
He couldn't let Mu Yunzhi take her own life; he had to intervene.
"Auntie, from now on, I will protect the Tang Clan."
Mu Yunzhi stared blankly at Fang Xian, bowed slightly, and thanked him.
"Thank you."
"However, I have a condition."
Fang Xian didn't allow Mu Yunzhi to ask further, and continued.
"I want to become the sect leader of the Tang Clan. This will inevitably require your support, but to be on the safe side, we need to sign a contract so that I can wholeheartedly protect the Tang Clan."
This was the only solution he could think of. After all, he couldn't watch over Mu Yunzhi every moment. If, in a couple of days, she became overwhelmed with grief and contemplated suicide, that wouldn't be the outcome he wanted.
Mu Yunzhi had no objections to Fang Xian's words. With Fang Xian around, the Tang Clan wouldn't completely decline.
"Okay…"
"Let's begin now."
Having received Mu Yunzhi's answer, Fang Xian decisively began signing the contract.
A black magic circle appeared beneath his feet, linking to Mu Yunzhi's feet and forming another black magic circle.
Two large characters for "Agreement" appeared between them.
"Contract."
Mu Yunzhi merely glanced at the contents of the agreement before silently replying.
"Agreed."
The black magic circle linking the two shone brightly, merging into a large black magic circle.
A moment later, both Fang Xian and Mu Yunzhi felt the "Power of the Contract"; the contract was successful.
The light dimmed, and the black magic circle disappeared.
[Contract successful, current contract partners: 20/22.]
Fang Xian embraced Mu Yunzhi again, solemnly saying:
"Yunzhi, forget Tang San."
Mu Yunzhi felt the warmth of Fang Xian's embrace, and her feelings for Tang San slowly faded.
She didn't know what was happening; all she wanted was to be with Fang Xian forever.
"Hmm..."
Fang Xian gently stroked Mu Yunzhi's back and said softly,
"Call me husband."
"Huh?"
Mu Yunzhi couldn't believe her ears and looked up at Fang Xian in shock.
"Fang Xian...this can't be..."
Before Mu Yunzhi could finish speaking, Fang Xian silenced her with a kiss, preventing her from continuing.
Mu Yunzhi's beautiful eyes widened, and she complied with Fang Xian as if possessed.
After a long while, the two silently separated.
Fang Xian gently stroked Mu Yunzhi's pretty face and asked softly again.
"Yunzhi, call me husband."
Mu Yunzhi's face flushed red, and she stammered out softly
"Husband."
