She thought all hope was lost for her and Er Zhu, but she never expected that Er Zhu actually harbored feelings for her too!
To be with her, he had even rejected his fiancée's demands!
Xiao Tian Huizi's heart was filled with excitement, and the extinguished flame of hope within her instantly reignited!
"Wang Er Zhu, I'm breaking up with you!"
Just as Xiao Tian Huizi was brimming with emotion, she heard Li Mei's heartbroken roar.
"It's not like that, you..."
Seeing Li Mei running out in tears, Er Zhu grabbed her arm, trying to explain. However, Li Mei unexpectedly broke free from him!
Without a glance at Xiao Tian Huizi, Er Zhu chased after her. Witnessing this, the hopeful light in Xiao Tian Huizi's eyes instantly dimmed.
The living room was deathly silent, much like Xiao Tian Huizi's heart...
"It's not like that, Gu Lao is in Wa Country!"
In the courtyard, Er Zhu embraced Li Mei tightly from behind, whispering softly in her ear.
Li Mei was about to struggle, but upon hearing the name Gu Lao, she instantly stopped.
Gu Lao?
Miao Ying's master, the most formidable Gu poison master in Miao Jiang!
The Xiao Tian family had the capability to protect Er Zhu's safety, Li Mei didn't doubt that. But if Gu Lao made a move, the Xiao Tian family's protection would be rendered useless!
After all, this was not a battle of true swords and shields, but the undetectable art of Gu poison!
"Be good, stay and wait for me to come back, okay? I... I will only love you in this lifetime!"
Seeing Li Mei no longer struggling, Er Zhu let out a long sigh of relief, his embrace around her tightening.
In his mind, the River God scoffed with disdain at these words. Such sappy love confessions! It was no wonder the kid had been reading so many romance novels lately.
"Then, be careful. I'll be waiting for you at home."
After a long pause, Li Mei finally turned around, looking at Er Zhu with concern and reluctance.
"Don't worry, Gu Lao's fate will be even worse than Miao Ying's!"
Seeing that Li Mei had stopped crying, a hint of tenderness flashed in Er Zhu's eyes. He gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks, his gaze filled with affection.
Just as Er Zhu and Li Mei were enjoying their tender moment, a thousand miles away in Wa Country, in a luxurious villa, a group of distinguished individuals had gathered.
These were all renowned Gu poison masters from around the world, and they had been summoned by none other than Gu Lao!
The previous injury had nearly cost him his life, and it was the only humiliation Gu Lao had ever suffered. Therefore, Er Zhu had to die!
"Gu Lao, it's just one person. Aren't we making a mountain out of a molehill by doing this?"
At the far end of the sofa, a man in a grey robe stood up, scanned everyone present, and then looked at Gu Lao.
"No, if even Qingcheng Pavilion could be destroyed by him, it proves how strong this person is!"
Gu Lao shook his head slightly, his exquisite face turned towards the direction of Qingcheng Pavilion, a flicker of fear in his eyes.
"What? Qingcheng Pavilion was destroyed by him?"
"But the pavilion master of Qingcheng Pavilion, Fang Mingsheng, was a cultivator! And this Wang Er Zhu, a mere country bumpkin, actually killed him!"
"No wonder you gathered so many of us, it all makes sense now!"
...
As soon as Gu Lao finished speaking, several other Gu poison masters stood up, their eyes filled with shock.
"Indeed. Everyone, bring your most potent Gu worms, and let's head to the capital!"
Gu Lao nodded slightly, gazing in the direction of the capital and roaring loudly.
The crowd nodded in agreement, shock mingled with a hint of anger and pride in their eyes as dark energy quickly enveloped them.
"Shizu, news from the capital indicates that Wang Er Zhu will arrive in Wa Country tomorrow!"
Just then, a man whose entire body was as dark as charcoal ran in frantically and reported respectfully.
"Haha, is that so? Then we shall wait for him in Wa Country. This time, I will see him die before my very eyes!"
Upon hearing this news, Gu Lao laughed to the sky, his slender peach blossom eyes filled with murderous intent!
Three days later, Er Zhu emerged from the airport, surveying his surroundings.
It truly was a small patch of land. Even their buildings were not as tall as those in Kyoto, and frankly, not even as impressive as Hua Bei City.
*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...*
As Er Zhu was lost in thought, the sound of footsteps echoed. Er Zhu looked up and saw over a dozen bodyguards appear from nowhere on either side, with hidden guards concealed in the corners of the surrounding area.
"Greetings, Miss!"
The leading bodyguard bowed respectfully to Xiao Tian Huizi, then cast a disdainful glance at Er Zhu.
Had the Miss's eyes been dazzled? Bringing such an ordinary Hua Xia man back to the country? This kind of person was not worthy of the Miss!
Er Zhu naturally noticed the bodyguard's contempt, but he didn't even spare him a glance.
"Who told you to do this? Are you afraid the enemy won't be able to find Er Zhu?"
The leading bodyguard was about to add something when he heard Xiao Tian Huizi's reprimand.
"Miss, rest assured. There are hidden guards along both sides of the route. Under our protection, Mr. Wang will be perfectly safe!"
Hearing the Miss's words, the bodyguard bowed respectfully to Xiao Tian Huizi again and quickly explained.
The bodyguards of the Xiao Tian family were all ninjas from Wa Country. Forget one person, even a hundred or a thousand would be no match for them!
"Then just leave the hidden guards. Ito Yuichi, I warn you, do not look at Er Zhu with such an expression again, or don't blame me for being rude!"
Just as the bodyguard finished speaking, Xiao Tian Huizi waved her hand impatiently and gave the order.
The bodyguard was about to leave but was met with another warning from the Miss.
Ito Yuichi glared at Er Zhu with resentment, his fists making cracking sounds.
This Hua Xia man's methods were truly remarkable, to have charmed the Miss so completely!
Ito Yuichi was furious and wanted to question Er Zhu, but seeing Xiao Tian Huizi's increasingly displeased expression, he could only suppress his anger.
"Er Zhu, let's get into the car."
Seeing that Ito Yuichi remained silent, Xiao Tian Huizi made a gesture of invitation, looking at Er Zhu with a full face of warmth.
Er Zhu nodded slightly and, led by the bodyguards and accompanied by Xiao Tian Huizi, walked towards the luxurious car parked in the distance.
Watching his goddess treat a Hua Xia man with such tenderness, a murderous glint flashed in Ito Yuichi's eyes, and his fists clenched even tighter!
In a blink, Er Zhu and his party arrived at the main residence of the Xiao Tian family, a typical Wa Country architectural complex unfolded before Er Zhu's eyes.
"Er Zhu, let's go in. everyone from the Xiao Tian family is waiting for you in the living room."
Xiao Tian Huizi quickly got out of the car, gesturing for Er Zhu to follow her into the house.
This main residential area, considered the most luxurious in Wa Country, appeared quite modest compared to the various luxurious villas in China.
At this moment, Xiao Tian Huizi understood the gap between Wa Country and China, and her resolve to introduce Er Zhu to her father grew even stronger!
After all, China was the future of the world!
And Wa Country was in decline, day by day!
As Er Zhu walked towards the living room, everyone in the Xiao Tian family stood at the entrance to welcome him. Upon seeing Er Zhu's remarkably simple attire, they exchanged glances, their expressions complex.
