Zhou Xingdou's words were like a demon's whisper, and Yue Shuhua reacted in an instant. The light called hope was swallowed up by darkness at this moment.
She completely believed Zhou Xingdou's words without questioning them at all. Now, it was as if she had returned to the time when she first met Zhou Xingdou. Her hopes were shattered once again, and despair enveloped her.
This time, however, her cultivation was not sealed, but her peak Saint-level cultivation seemed even weaker than before, and she couldn't muster the slightest courage to attack the demon in front of her.
"You promised me you wouldn't kill my son."
Yue Shuhua stared at Zhou Xingdou with her phoenix eyes and spoke slowly and deliberately, her voice trembling like a leaf.
But at that moment, Stephen Chow let out a low laugh:
"Empress Yue, if promises were truly effective, would there be so many treacherous people in the world?"
As Zhou Xingdou spoke, he pinched Yue Shuhua's chin, bringing her close to his face. Looking into her fierce phoenix eyes, he continued:
"Besides, even if I don't kill him, many of my men are capable of doing so. Did I ever say that others couldn't kill Huo Lingtian?"
Yue Shuhua's eyes immediately welled up with tears, but she didn't go berserk. The subtle influence of being enslaved by the Myriad Transformations Slave Seal prevented her from being reckless towards Zhou Xingdou; all she could do was grit her teeth.
"You broke your promise! You've already gotten what you wanted from me, so why won't you let Tian'er go!"
"Am I the one who won't let you go, Tian'er?"
Zhou Xingdou's voice turned extremely cold at this moment. He flung away the hand that was holding Yue Shuhua's chin, causing Yue Shuhua's face to slam into the ground, and her phoenix crown fell off her head instantly.
"If you obediently become my woman, why would I harm an ant?"
"Besides, he came here seeking revenge. If you remain loyal to me, I might consider sparing his life and letting him live as a wealthy man in the mortal world."
At this point, Zhou Xingdou's gaze towards Yue Shuhua was devoid of any emotion, only filled with endless coldness:
"But now you not only collude with outsiders to attack the Heavenly Palace, but you also show me no respect whatsoever. Since you want to reunite with your son, then I will grant your wish. I will turn him into a dog puppet to accompany you!"
Zhou Xingdou's words jolted Yue Shuhua awake, and she burst into tears.
"No, no, I was wrong!"
As she spoke, Yue Shuhua used both her hands and feet to try to crawl to Zhou Xingdou's feet.
But Zhou Xingdou didn't give her that chance. A surge of immense power rose from the ground, blowing Yue Shuhua several feet away.
But Yue Shuhua dared not use her holy power to resist, letting the power throw her away. Her magnificent phoenix robe was covered in dust, but she didn't care. All she wanted was to crawl back to Zhou Xingdou's feet.
"I'm sorry, Master. I shouldn't have been so blinded by greed. Please forgive me."
Yue Shuhua then realized how foolish she had been. From Qiu Yu, it was clear that Zhou Xingdou, while not exactly doting on his woman, certainly loved her dearly.
As long as she honestly acts as Zhou Xingdou's woman and has no other thoughts, she can ensure her lifelong peace and wealth with Tian'er.
Even if Huo Lingtian really seeks revenge on Zhou Xingdou, as long as he is obedient enough, Zhou Xingdou might just spare Huo Lingtian's life as he said.
But all of this is based on the premise that she is Zhou Xingdou's woman and is loyal enough.
Now, thinking back to her own posture just now, and then thinking about how terrifying Zhou Xingdou was, she felt extremely remorseful.
Can Huo Lingtian defeat Zhou Xingdou?
Even if Yue Shuhua had not been implanted with the Myriad Transformations Slave Mark and her mind had not been affected, anyone with a modicum of reason would not believe that Huo Lingtian could succeed.
The reason Yue Shuhua believed that Huo Lingtian could save her was simply because Zhou Xingdou was not in the Primordial Dao Domain at that time.
Now that Zhou Xingdou has returned, the most important thing she should do is to take the initiative to tell him about the disappearance of the slave seal and to contact Huo Lingtian. Only in this way can she hope for Huo Lingtian's survival.
But now, Huo Lingtian's last chance of survival has been cut off by her own hands, how could she not regret it?
However, Yue Shuhua's actions did not sway Zhou Xingdou.
To be honest, Stephen Chow doesn't like to hurt women he's had relationships with, and he would never have the heart to kill his own woman.
Therefore, he would not kill Yue Shuhua.
But we will absolutely not let Yue Shuhua be treated like the others again, otherwise wouldn't that be unfair to the others?
Zhou Xingdou originally intended to extract some information from Yue Shuhua, but seeing her like this, he lost interest.
He looked at Yue Shuhua's pitiful, tearful face, and her figure, blown away and constantly crawling back, without any emotional fluctuation. He simply said:
"You don't just know you're wrong, you know your son is going to die."
After saying this, Zhou Xingdou ignored Yue Shuhua's cries and pleas and walked out of the Zhuxing Palace alone.
The figure of Princess Iron Fan appeared before Yue Shuhua, who was nearly in despair, the instant Zhou Xingdou left.
Having fully understood the cause and effect, Princess Iron Fan looked at the pitiful Yue Shuhua with no pity, only disdain and anger.
"You lowly servant, you too must beg your master's forgiveness!"
If Zhou Xingdou hadn't been unwilling to harm or torment Yue Shuhua, Princess Iron Fan would have already drawn her pair of sharp swords and slashed down.
Yue Shuhua knew there was no hope left, and collapsed helplessly to the ground, still murmuring:
"I was wrong... Please forgive me..."
Unfortunately, Zhou Xingdou could no longer hear these words, and Princess Iron Fan picked up the limp Yue Shuhua and locked her in the dungeon below the Hall of Stars.
Zhou Xingdou stood with his hands behind his back on the jade platform outside the hall, looking at the dome in a thoughtful manner.
He was naturally not saddened by Yue Shuhua's affair; he had no shortage of women, so he wouldn't be heartbroken over such a small matter.
However, what he was thinking about was indeed related to Yue Shuhua, namely Huo Lingtian.
Zhou Xingdou was not used to being passive. He could ignore Huo Lingtian for the time being, but he absolutely could not be unaware of Huo Lingtian's movements and whereabouts.
If my guess is correct, Luo Bailian is indeed related to Huo Lingtian. In that case, I have indeed saved myself a lot of trouble. Little Drill Wind has probably already found Luo Bailian. I just need to wait for good news.
However, Zhou Xingdou believed that there were probably others who knew Huo Lingtian's whereabouts, namely Fang Tianyang, the chief disciple of the Nine Heavens Peak of the Xuantian Dao Sect.
Having just returned to the Punishment Thunder Palace from the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, Zhou Xingdou wouldn't immediately go back to the Xuan Tian Dao Sect to find Fang Tianyang.
Moreover, in his "Record of Beauties Across Myriad Realms" martial soul world, there are still dozens of beauties who need to be extracted and transferred to cultivate the Primordial System.
Now we also need to set up a pressure-free formation to isolate spiritual energy and the pressure of heaven and earth, otherwise most of these beauties will be crushed into blood mist the moment they come out.
Unfortunately, Qing Yanjing and Yuan Tian, who both understand formations, are no longer here. However, fortunately, Fahai has now entered the Heavenly Venerable realm and can use the laws to create a pressure-free environment.
Zhou Xingdou also delved into the Myriad Realms Beauty Register within his sea of consciousness, marking those beauties with the talent to cultivate in the Primordial Realm.
(Should Yue Shuhua be killed, spared, or imprisoned? I'd like to ask for everyone's opinion.)
