"Chen Tangli?"
Zuo An's eyes instantly became extremely sharp. The moment he saw Chen Tangli, he immediately understood that he had been deceived.
"How did you get the jade pendant of that old woman Bu Youran?" Zuo An stared at Chen Tangli warily, with a vigilant glint in his eyes.
However, Chen Tangli didn't directly answer Zuo An's question. She flicked her sleeves lightly and said nonchalantly, "If I told you that I had killed that unfaithful mother for you, would you... be grateful to me?"
"Hehe..." After hearing this, Zuo An raised the corners of his mouth slightly and sneered.
He shook his head and said disdainfully, "Although that old woman, Bu Youran, is heartless and ungrateful, she is at least the leader of the Luosha Sect, and her martial arts skills are no less than mine. They say good people don't live long, but evil lasts for a thousand years. She's not such a loser that she could be easily killed by a junior."
As if he suddenly remembered something, Zuo An's eyes instantly turned icy cold. He said in a firm tone, "Which man did you bribe her with? Who did you get this from?"
When Chen Tangli heard Zuo An's words, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly. She nodded gently and said appreciatively: "Zuo An, it seems that you haven't become completely stupid because of pregnancy!"
"That's right, just as you thought. This young master pretended to attack your Luosha Sect's headquarters, and then took the opportunity to obtain Bu Youran's token. Otherwise, how could this young master have met you so smoothly?"
The corners of Chen Tangli's mouth rose slightly, with a hint of complacency and provocation. Her eyes were fixed on Zuo An, as if she wanted to carve this man into her mind.
"Chen Tangli, you crazy woman! I just don't understand what you like about me that requires you to be so crazy and entangled. Just tell me, and I will change, right?"
Zuo An's tone revealed helplessness and exhaustion. He really couldn't understand why Chen Tangli was so obsessed with him. He felt that he had had enough of this endless entanglement and torture and just wanted to get rid of the troubles of this crazy woman.
When Chen Tangli heard Zuo An's words, the smile on her face suddenly froze. She looked at Zuo An in disbelief, with a trace of pain and disappointment in her eyes.
She shook her head and muttered to herself, "Zuo'an, you've changed... You used to be so arrogant, so high-minded, and you looked down on everyone. But now your eyes are different. They've become softer, revealing concern, and you even tell jokes. Could it be that this is also because of Nalan Qingcheng?"
There was a noticeable tremor in Chen Tangli's voice, and her eyes revealed deep sadness. She seemed unable to accept the changes in Zuo'an, as if she had lost the man she once knew.
Zuo An frowned when he heard this, and said coldly, "It's none of your business!"
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave, not wanting to bother with this crazy woman, Shen Tangli.
In Zuo An's opinion, saying one more word to Chen Tangli would be a waste of time. He just wanted to leave here as soon as possible and stay away from her entanglement.
Zuo An took a step forward, turned around and left resolutely without any nostalgia.
Chen Tangli looked at Zuo An's cruel back as he left, and the tears she had been holding back finally fell. She felt as if her heart was being torn apart. She couldn't understand why Zuo An was so cold and indifferent to her.
Suddenly, Chen Tangli's eyes turned cold, and she shouted towards the forest: "Four Dharma Protectors, what are you dawdling about? Hurry up and capture him for this young master!"
As Chen Tangli finished speaking, four women wearing Lingxiao Palace guardian uniforms flashed out from the woods and surrounded Zuo'an. They were all tall and beautiful, but their eyes were filled with indifference and murderous intent.
“Chen Tangli, what do you mean?”
Zuo An looked warily at the four masters of Lingxiao Palace surrounding him, feeling a surge of unease. He knew these men were the elite of Lingxiao Palace and extremely powerful. If they really attacked him, with his current potbelly, it would be difficult for him to escape.
Chen Tangli said coldly, "Zuo'an, don't say that this young master is cruel. This young master can give you one last chance. As long as you abandon Nalan Qingcheng, obey this young master, and become my young master's husband, this young master can allow you to give birth to the evil child in your belly. Otherwise..."
Zuo An frowned and his face turned gloomy, "What else?" He clenched his fists tightly, ready to fight.
"Hmph, no one else can get what this young master can't have." Chen Tangli stared at Zuo An and said, "Zuo An, if you continue to be stubborn, then this young master will have no choice but to kill you, kill the evil child in your belly!" There was a hint of determination and madness in her tone.
"Don't even think about it! How could I do as you, a vicious woman, wish? I will never abandon Nalan Qingcheng, let alone become your husband!" After saying that, Zuo An flashed and tried to break through the siege.
Upon seeing this, the four Dharma protectors immediately took action. For a moment, sword shadows crisscrossed and palm winds whistled.
Although Zuo An was heavily pregnant, he was still very agile and fought the four guardians to a draw. However, due to his large belly, his movements were not as nimble as usual, and his reaction time was also much reduced.
At this moment, Zuo An dodged a guard's attack by leaning to the side, but was struck on the back by another guard. He stumbled forward a few steps, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Chen Tangli took the opportunity to draw out her sword and placed it across Zuo'an's neck. She threatened, "Zuo'an, if you dare to resist again, I will kill you!"
"You wish!" Zuo An's face was pale, but his eyes were firm, and he looked at Chen Tangli without fear.
"Zuo'an, what do you think? As long as you obey this young master, not only will you survive, but even the evil child in your belly will be able to keep its life."
Chen Tangli had a sneer on her lips, her beautiful face was full of complacency, and her eyes were full of teasing and ridicule, as if she was admiring Zuo An's pain and despair.
However, Zuo An gritted his teeth, his face showing a determined and unyielding expression. He glared at Chen Tangli fiercely, his eyes burning with anger and determination. Even in the face of death threats, he still refused to succumb to this woman's tyranny.
Chen Tangli watched Zuo An's reaction, feeling a little unhappy, but also more confident that she could win. She firmly believed that she held the power over Zuo An's life and death, and as long as Zuo An still had the will to survive, he would definitely bow down to her and admit defeat.
So, she challenged him again: "How about it, Zuo'an? Do you choose life or death?"
At this moment, a majestic voice suddenly came: "You are dreaming!"
This voice exploded in the air like a bolt from the blue, carrying with it unparalleled majesty and dominance.
The next moment, a handsome white figure appeared in front of Shen Tangli like lightning. The long sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and with a "clang" sound, he separated the sharp sword across Zuo'an's neck.
