Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 399 The Secret Passage of the Haotian Sect? A Solo Journey to the Meeting
Ye Qingxian was very unhappy.

She looked at Tang Yuehua with an almost scrutinizing gaze.

Because she realized that her best friend seemed to have some other thoughts. This could be seen from her seemingly weak and vulnerable demeanor in her words and the little gesture of putting away Lin Xiao's handkerchief earlier.

This slut...

If Lin Xiao hadn't been there, Ye Qingxian would have already cursed him out.

Tang Yuehua, however, kept her eyelids lowered, and I felt a pang of pity for her.

"Lin Xiao, I was wrong before, but I am just like your Aunt Ye, I care about you very much."

"The existence of the Haotian Sect poses no threat to you. If you promise me that you will leave the Haotian Sect a way out, I will give you the Phoenix Bone and Soul Tool you want."

"I can make it up to you for what I did wrong before; whatever you want from me, or whatever you want me to do, I'll do it..."

Tang Yuehua bit her lip.

She was originally dressed in white, and her figure was like a ripe peach, tender and juicy. Her unique, elegant and noble demeanor made her exude a unique feminine sexual attraction. In addition, after Ye Qingxian healed her face, she was also extremely beautiful and charming...

Lin Xiao felt something was off.

Ye Qingxian, however, looked at her coldly.

This is blatant seduction!

"Snapped!"

Caught off guard, Ye Qingxian slapped Tang Yuehua across the face, causing a look of astonishment to appear on her face. When she looked up in surprise and met Ye Qingxian's gaze, she suddenly lowered her head guiltily.

"You're not young anymore, are you?"

"Almost forty? No matter how well an ordinary person takes care of themselves, their skin will quickly lose elasticity and wrinkles will spring up like mushrooms after rain once they reach a certain age. How many years of youth do you have left?"

"Aren't you ashamed?"

Tang Yuehua felt utterly ashamed after being spoken to by Ye Qingxian.

Her lips trembled, and she cried out:

"Then what am I supposed to do? The Haotian Sect gave me life and raised me. Am I supposed to just watch it head towards destruction and do nothing?"

This statement may just be a fig leaf to cover up the truth.

This could also be Tang Yuehua's true thought.

Seducing Lin Xiao was the simplest, quickest, and most effective way for Tang Yuehua to achieve her goals.

Tang Yuehua seemed to have become ruthless.

She knelt on the ground, hugged Lin Xiao's legs, and cried with tears streaming down her face:

"I am just a weak woman."

"I know you resent the Haotian Sect for harming you back then, but I knew nothing about it. It was the elders in the sect who did it behind my back! What can I do?"

"I'm not asking you to spare the Haotian Sect, just leave them a way out! I guarantee that from now on, the Haotian Sect will never stand against you..."

Lin Xiao frowned slightly and asked in return:

"is it?"

"But since you have no say in the Haotian Sect, what right do you have to make empty promises to me?"

Ye Qingxian felt uneasy when she saw Tang Yuehua touching Lin Xiao.

A surge of soul power separated them, and he said coldly:

"Cry if you want, make a scene if you want! But don't lay a hand on me!"

I really don't know how my best friend, who used to be so aloof and elegant, has become so shameless.
Tang Yuehua was taken aback, and then she suddenly said:

"To put it bluntly, you don't believe me, do you?"

"Lin Xiao, I can find the Phoenix Bone and the Soul Tool for you first, as long as you promise not to wipe out the Haotian Sect, but to leave them a sliver of life so that they can continue their lineage..."

"Please! Lin Xiao, I won't hurt you!"

Lin Xiao tightened his bathrobe and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly asked:
"Are the Phoenix Bone and Soul Guidance Device at the Haotian Sect?"

Tang Yuehua shook her head.

"If you promise me, I'll tell you."

Tang Yuehua is no young girl; she is quite shrewd and calculating, making it difficult for Lin Xiao to extract information from her.

Ye Qingxian then said:
"Lin Xiao, let me talk to her for you."

"Go to sleep."

Late at night, Ye Qingxian could no longer tolerate Tang Yuehua's flaunting and was also afraid that Lin Xiao would be swayed by this shameless woman. Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao nodded.

To be honest, he was only able to speak to Tang Yuehua because of Ye Qingxian. He had absolutely no liking for this woman and didn't want to waste time arguing with her.

……

The next day.

Lin Xiao got up and finished practicing his boxing.

Ye Qingxian invited him to the reception room for a chat.

Tang Yuehua was also there.

"It's settled."

"Tang Yuehua first took out the Phoenix Bone and Soul Guidance Device for you, and then swore that she would not have any connection with Tang San and Tang Chen."

Lin Xiao was somewhat taken aback.

Why only offer benefits? Didn't Tang Yuehua make promises?

Ye Qingxian seemed to see through Lin Xiao's thoughts and sneered:
"She dares to negotiate?"

"The Haotian Sect was already doomed, but she had no other choice but to plead with us!"

"Let's wait until she brings her things first!"

Lin Xiao looked at Tang Yuehua and saw that she looked haggard and was no longer as eloquent as she had been the night before. She seemed to have completely submitted to Aunt Ye's "tyranny" and was as obedient as a maid.

Lin Xiao gave Ye Qingxian a thumbs up.

Aunt Ye is awesome!
Indeed, only women truly understand women...

She has absolutely nothing to hide in front of her best friend.

Tang Yuehua said wistfully:

"The Phoenix Bone and the Soul Guidance Device are located in the Haotian Sect's inheritance site."

"That's why I kept it a secret before."

“But I can’t get it by myself, Lin Xiao. I need you to come with me to Haotian Sect.”

Ye Qingxian frowned, about to start cursing.

Tang Yuehua hurriedly said:
"I'm telling the truth, and I absolutely don't mean to harm you!"

"Actually... there's another side path that leads into the Clear Sky Sect. If you're worried, you can bring Poison Douluo along!"

Lin Xiao and Ye Qingxian exchanged a glance.

But there were no surprises.

The Haotian Sect had been besieged for so long, but they had never rushed down the mountain to fight to the death. The two had long suspected that they had a backup plan.

And indeed, there was a "mouse" hole.

Tang Yuehua felt very aggrieved.

This is basically her trying to lead a group to steal from her hometown.

But there was nothing she could do; Ye Qingxian knew her too well. They had negotiated all night, but in reality, only one thing had happened:
Ye Qingxian made Tang Yuehua realize that she had absolutely no bargaining chips.

Once the Haotian Sect is destroyed, there are plenty of ways to make Tang Yuehua submit, but those are methods Ye Qingxian doesn't want to use. Therefore, it would be best for Tang Yuehua to surrender in advance, make some contributions, and then make demands.

But this puts the initiative entirely in Lin Xiao's hands!
What should she do if she gets taken advantage of for free?
Tang Yuehua protested vehemently.

The only response she received was Ye Qingxian's cold gaze.

After enduring a sleepless night like a hawk being kept awake, she finally gave in.

What frustrated Tang Yuehua the most was that Ye Qingxian, contrary to her usual behavior, said a lot of sharp and sarcastic things yesterday, telling her not to think about taking crooked paths and not to have designs on Lin Xiao.

Otherwise, Ye Qingxian would really have killed her...

Sensing the killing intent emanating from Ye Qingxian, Tang Yuehua chickened out.

But she was outwardly convinced but inwardly resentful, still thinking:

[What's there to be so smug about? Once I actually win Lin Xiao over, who knows whether Aunt Ye or Aunt Tang will be closer to me...]

Tang Yuehua's lips curled up.

The opportunity to obtain Phoenix Bone and Soul Guidance Device.

It was also an opportunity for her to be alone with Lin Xiao, away from Ye Qingxian.
