Chapter 98, Taking Down Tang Yue

At the western fortress front, Zhu Meng, Tang Zhong, and others were fighting against the Silver Sky Lord and the White Demon Eagle Legion, and finally managed to repel them and catch their breath.

Upon hearing this news, Zhu Meng felt as if the sky had fallen.

"Zhu Meng, is this true?" Judge Tang Zhong asked coldly.

"Damn it, who is this guy? You all trust him so much?" Zhu Meng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He had already guessed that he must have been used by Luo Mian.

"Should I believe you? What's going on with that batch of diseased blood?!" Tang Zhong roared angrily, his tone extremely forceful.

“It’s true. We’ve actually noticed this batch of problematic blood serum for a while now, and it’s been Deputy Judge Leng Qing who’s been investigating it. We never expected someone to expose it directly,” said another judge, Li Tian.

Zhu Meng was speechless for a moment, his resentment towards Luo Mian reaching its peak. However, half an hour earlier, the other party had disappeared without a trace, and he could not get through to him on the phone.

"The most important thing now is to resist the Silver Dome Lord. We cannot afford to have internal strife at this time. The matter between Luo Mian and Zhu Meng will be decided by the Supreme Court later," said Military Commander Yun Feng.

"Okay, but the totem snake must be released first!" Tang Zhong's attitude was firm.

Left with no other choice, Zhu Meng had to agree.

……

Chen Hao rushed back to the city from West Lake and arrived at Su Causeway. The nine shocking lightning halberds were still stuck in West Lake, suppressing the huge totem snake.

The totem serpent coiled its body, its head resting on its body, appearing to be fast asleep. Chen Hao walked to Tang Yue's side. Clearly, Tang Yue had been guarding this place all along.

“It’s all my fault… I’m the one who hurt him…” Tang Yue said, her eyes red.

Chen Hao patted her head and comforted her, "It's alright, it's all over now. Didn't you notice that the lightning spear is dissipating?"

Tang Yue was crying when she suddenly paused and looked up.

The nine imposing lightning pillars slowly crumbled, the power of lightning returned to the heavens and earth, and West Lake finally calmed down.

Tang Yue covered her face, looking at the completely vanished Lightning Punishment Array with excitement and disbelief. She then turned back to look at Chen Hao with teary eyes. She never expected that when she was helpless, it would be Chen Hao who saved the totem snake that she regarded as family.

Unable to contain her emotions, she opened her arms and gave Chen Hao a hug; she truly didn't know how to thank him.

Chen Hao had been waiting for this moment. He returned the hug, but his hand slowly slid down Tang Yue's back until it landed on her soft, upturned buttocks, where he took a deep breath.

Tang Yue's cheeks flushed red as she felt Chen Hao's undisguised caress, so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground. However, considering that she had taken the initiative to hug him and that Chen Hao had helped her a great deal, she didn't stop him.

Chen Hao leaned close to her ear and said with a mischievous grin, "Teacher Tang Yue, I've helped you so much, how are you going to thank me?"

Tang Yue's ears turned bright red. She glared at Chen Hao fiercely, but her eyes held a mixture of helplessness and shyness: "How do you want me to thank you?"

Chen Hao grinned like a triumphant wolf and whispered, "How about being my girlfriend for three months?"

Tang Yue bit her lip, her cheeks burning hot. As she felt the groping hand further invading her, how could she not understand Chen Hao's hint?

What do you mean by a three-month girlfriend? It's clearly been three months!

She took a deep breath and raised her head as if she had made up her mind: "I agree, but it absolutely cannot affect my career."

It's all worth it for the sake of the Black Serpent.

Chen Hao nodded in satisfaction, then leaned down and forcefully kissed those alluring, moist red lips.

……

In West Lake, the black snake, almost electrocuted, watched this scene with intense resentment, but it no longer had the strength to express it.

……

While he might bully Tang Yue, Chen Hao hadn't forgotten about the Xuan Snake, who was even more important than Tang Yue. This was a perfect opportunity to make his presence felt.

He took the totem bead, let the black snake crawl into it, and once again sent it to the Thousand Caves of White Mountain. He also took out a large amount of blood-sickness medicine from his storage space to help it recover as soon as possible.

Of course, Chen Hao only took a small portion of the warehouse; the rest was to be used as evidence. The Xuan Snake would have to slowly recover and get through its molting period. As for the western fortress at the front, those above would naturally handle the Silver Dome Lord.

Besides, now that I've already announced the antidote, Eagle Red Grass, the plague will be under control in less than a day, and the White Demon Eagles will naturally no longer be so keen on attacking Hangzhou.

……

Things unfolded exactly as Chen Hao had predicted.

Three days later, the plague outbreak came to an end. During his escape, Luo Mian used a large-scale Shadow Super-Tier magic, causing heavy casualties in the city. He was killed on the spot by members of the Supreme Inquisition, and his relatives and followers were captured one after another.

Zhu Meng was taken away by the court's magicians for investigation, his reputation was ruined, and he will likely find it difficult to get promoted in the future.

Chen Hao felt no remorse whatsoever. This was what he deserved. He wouldn't have any special feelings or bias towards him just because he had read the original novel and knew he was a good person.

So what if you're a good person? Good people can still make mistakes!

There's a saying: Even if Black Jueting racks his brains, it's not as good as a certain high-ranking official's brilliant idea.

If he had the means, he would definitely have extorted a large sum of money from Zhu Meng and Luo Mian.

Unfortunately, they lacked the strength to do so, so they had to resort to underhanded tactics to defeat them directly.

Although Chen Hao prefers to keep a low profile, since there are no substantial benefits, he has no choice but to make a name for himself. The favors from the Totem faction are just icing on the cake.

Becoming famous has many advantages; at the very least, Hongsheng Forging's business will improve, especially given his positive reputation.

Furthermore, we must be more cautious about using certain institutional methods against him.

This is influence; it's like an invisible protective armor. Though unseen, it can block the most fatal blow at crucial moments.

Even powerful forces that intend to 'reap the benefits' have to consider the public opinion and prestige behind him.

The benefits don't stop there. A good reputation can also bring various resources and collaborations. Those who don't trust authority but only trust credibility will take the initiative to come to you, show goodwill, seek cooperation, and even be willing to provide intelligence, resources, and connections.

Overall, it's worth it.

……

The top floor of a five-star hotel in Hangzhou.

Tang Yue leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window facing the entire city in the most natural posture, her feet dangling in the air, revealing her beautiful figure.

Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were helpless and unfocused, and she occasionally let out a soft but touching breath.

Chen Hao was fully engaged, controlling the pace and pressing her relentlessly, as if he wanted to completely conquer her.

"Call Dad!"

At the crucial moment, he gave a low shout.

"Oh no!! Daddy~"

Tang Yue's eyes trembled slightly, her emotions surging like a tide.

Clearly, this wasn't the first time. From 8 PM to midnight, Chen Hao's initial request to Tang Yue left a deep impression on her.

Although he was a bit perverted, his attitude towards women was always the same: domineering conquest, gentleness, and complete control.

From the bathroom to the bed, to the living room, to the hotel corridor, and even to the floor-to-ceiling windows, Chen Hao was gradually breaking down Tang Yue's bottom line and establishing a system of obedience.

He looked forward to the day when Tang Yue and Bai Tingting would serve him together.

"Sssssss!"
