---------------------------------------------------------------------
The ugly middle-aged man's lips stretched nearly to his ears. He was one of the few who knew Tang Yuehua's true identity. Years ago, he had been humiliated by the Hao Tian Sect, which caused him to lose the chance to obtain a ten-thousand-year soul ring for his fifth soul ring.
He hated the Hao Tian Sect, but he also lusted after Tang Yuehua's beauty. Now that the Hao Tian Sect had fallen and Tang Yuehua no longer had any protection, he finally had the chance to exact his revenge!
Tang Yuehua was already terrified, her body collapsing onto the floor. She couldn't avenge her sect, nor could she protect herself. Soon, she would become nothing more than a plaything.
This time, there would be no brother to protect her. One brother was missing, presumed dead, and the other had already perished. She was now a pitiful woman with no one to love or protect her.
"Hehehe, Lady Tang, let me have my way with you, hahahaha!"
"Tsk, I've seen enough. You're truly disgusting. You should just die."
Suddenly, a young man's voice rang out. The two people in the room turned toward the source of the sound and saw a handsome young man sitting on the windowsill.
The man appeared to be in his early twenties, tall and slender, standing at over six feet. His neatly combed black hair cascaded down his shoulders.
His face was strikingly handsome. He wore a navy-blue suit paired with a matching trench coat, and a medal adorned his chest—clearly, this man was someone of importance.
Most notably, his right arm was extremely swollen, unnaturally thick and elongated by half a foot, covered in blue-purple scales. His right hand, too, was covered in scales—it was a dragon claw!
The dragon claw looked dangerous, yet the young man casually rested his head on it, smirking as he gazed at the middle-aged man.
"You… you're from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. Judging by your clothes, you must be Shi…"
Snap—
Before the ugly middle-aged man could finish his sentence, Yu Tianxin had already ripped off his head. At that moment, Yu Tianxin's dragon claw was still clutching the man's skull.
"Tsk, I said it before—you talk too much."
Yu Tianxin sneered.
At this moment, Tang Yuehua's emotions were in turmoil. Just moments ago, she had been on the verge of being violated, only to be saved at the last second.
This young man had appeared in her darkest hour, giving her a sense of security she hadn't felt in years. Yu Tianxin's timely rescue felt like a knight arriving on a cloud of seven colors to whisk her away—a moment so romantic it made her heart flutter.
However, Tang Yuehua was no naive girl. Though she appeared to be in her late twenties, she was actually closer to forty. Her youthful appearance was simply due to good upkeep.
But Yu Tianxin had a particular fondness for mature women, and Tang Yuehua's beauty aligned perfectly with his tastes.
Initially, Yu Tianxin had been strolling through Tian Dou City, browsing for items worth purchasing. As he passed by the Moon Pavilion, he sensed something amiss and decided to investigate.
Given his status, he naturally knew who ran the Moon Pavilion and her background. Curious about what was happening, he stepped inside to take a look.
He had personally witnessed the fall of the Hao Tian Sect, so he was curious about the fate of its "little princess."
When he entered the Moon Pavilion, he was immediately captivated by Tang Yuehua's beauty and grace.
However, Yu Tianxin quickly regained his composure. He began contemplating how to win Tang Yuehua over. A heroic rescue seemed like a good start.
For some reason, Tang Yuehua now struck him as an incredibly alluring woman. In the past, he and Yu Tianheng had competed for the affection of Du Gu Yan, though most of it stemmed from their rivalry rather than genuine interest. Yu Tianheng may have genuinely liked Du Gu Yan, while Yu Tianxin was mostly competing with his cousin.
Unfortunately, that competition ended badly for both of them—they were thoroughly beaten by Du Gu Yan.
Then came the battle between Ba Tian Douluo and Lei Ting Douluo. Yu Yuanzhen, the family's pillar of strength and Yu Tianxin's great-granduncle, was mortally wounded.
Not long after, Great-Granduncle Yu Yuanzhen died of anger after learning that his nephew, Yu Xiaogang, had crippled Tianheng. This led to internal strife within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.
The entire branch of Yu Yuanzhen's descendants was wiped out by rebellious Soul Douluo elders. Thankfully, Yu Tianxin's grandfather, Yu Luo Mian, had forged ties with Shrek Academy, breaking through to become a Title Douluo and obtaining a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
Yu Luo Mian purged the rebellious elder faction, but the damage to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family was severe. The entire clan now relied solely on Yu Luo Mian. Only one Soul Douluo remained—an elder from their lineage, but his lifespan was nearing its end.
There were fewer than ten Soul Sages, the strongest of whom was Yu Tianxin's father, whose soul power was at level seventy-seven. While he had a chance to reach Soul Douluo, becoming a Title Douluo was out of the question.
Now, Yu Tianxin was the sole hope for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. He was the most talented of the younger generation, with soul power at level sixty-eight. But that wasn't enough—the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul truly came into its own only at the Soul Sage level.
A Soul Sage-level Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was more than a match for ordinary Soul Douluos, such as those from the Single Attribute Force families. Though their raw strength rivaled that of Title Douluos, brute force alone wasn't enough.
Even a Soul Douluo-level Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon could unleash power equivalent to a Title Douluo. They held little regard for single-attribute families like the Power Clan.
As for Yu Tianxin's close comrades-in-arms, Yang Wu's Soul-Piercing Spear was formidable, and Niu Dun's toughness was undeniable. Yu Tianxin respected their abilities.
Yu Tianxin was confident that he could break through to become a Title Douluo before the age of forty. Even the ninety-five-level bottleneck that had stalled his great-granduncle Yu Yuanzhen for nearly a decade might not hold him back!
But even with a strong individual like himself, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family would remain weak if he fell.
Yu Luo Mian had advised him to marry multiple wives and have many children, preferably ones with exceptional talent and innate soul power no lower than level eight.
Such offspring would be of high quality. The more children he had, the better. Once he broke through to become a Title Douluo, he could protect the family for centuries. With two Title Douluos safeguarding the next generation, his children would have the opportunity to grow strong.
Only then could the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family truly rise again. But why was Yu Tianxin interested in Tang Yuehua? It was widely known that Tang Yuehua couldn't cultivate, despite having awakened with level nine innate soul power. Many considered her a waste.
However, as a disciple of Li Luochen, Yu Tianxin's perspective was broader. Li Luochen had taught them that while innate soul power determined potential, it didn't completely dictate one's fate.
Rare medicinal herbs could defy destiny and enhance one's innate talent. A single compatible immortal-grade herb could transform a person with half-level innate soul power into a full-soul-power genius.
Of course, such herbs were rare (but we grow our own).
There were also cases where someone possessed high innate soul power but suffered from defects during their martial soul awakening, preventing cultivation or causing side effects during cultivation.
This didn't mean they lacked talent—it simply required a catalyst to unlock their potential. For example, Ma Hongjun's Evil Phoenix flame originally affected his desires, but with the help of immortal-grade herbs, his talent was fully restored, and the evil flames disappeared.
Yu Tianxin believed that Tang Yuehua wasn't a waste. She simply needed an immortal-grade herb to repair her talent. After all, her innate soul power was level nine—her potential was excellent. Her martial soul simply had a defect.
Moreover, her martial soul came with a domain! That was crucial, and it was another reason why Yu Tianxin coveted Tang Yuehua. He wanted to see if she could bear him an exceptional child.
---
Back to the present!
Yu Tianxin turned to Tang Yuehua and spoke gently.
"Are you alright? Can you stand up?"
With that, he extended his left hand. Contrary to the wildness of his dragon claw, his left hand was slender and refined.
