"Brother Shi!"

Shi Tong’s beautiful eyes widened, a dazed, joyous surprise filling them as she gazed at the handsome, golden-haired man who had descended like a god.

Shi Wushuang followed the sound, and his gaze fell upon the black-robed young woman on the ground. He froze for a moment, then his brow furrowed. "Tong’Er, what are you doing here?"

Just then, dozens of streaks of light shot through the distant sky like meteors, appearing one after another behind Shi Wushuang. To the horrified eyes of the group from All Stars Academy, powerful experts from the Celestial Lion Clan emerged in succession.

With a flash of white light, a tall, silver-haired woman with stunning looks and a sacred air appeared beside Shi Wushuang.

"Little sister?"

Shi Han’s gaze fell on Shi Tong, who was lying on the ground at Qin Feng’s feet, her eyes filled with surprise.

A flash of shame and anger crossed Shi Tong’s eyes. She set her face into a cold mask and shut her mouth. She would never show a moment of weakness in front of Shi Han.

Shi Wushuang’s gaze shifted, landing on Qin Feng, who appeared to be the leader of the group. He barked out in a cold voice, "Let her go! I’ll grant you a quick death and leave your corpses intact!"

A hint of sweetness flashed in Shi Tong’s eyes. She then stared coldly at Qin Feng, a triumphant glint in her gaze.

Taking in the expressions of both Shi Tong and the golden-haired man who had suddenly appeared, Qin Feng’s eyes narrowed as fury quietly brewed within him.

’So, this is my concubine-to-be,’ he thought. ’She hasn’t even entered the Qin Family’s gates and she’s already out here fawning over another man, completely shameless!’

As the thought crossed his mind, Qin Feng decided that this Shi Tong was in serious need of some discipline.

’At the very least, before I hand her over to Honglian, I have to discipline her properly. I absolutely cannot let Shi Tong have any ideas about this pretty-boy blond.’

"Junior Brother Qin Feng, what do we do now?"

Ye Qinghua tightened her grip on her sword, her beautiful eyes filled with nervousness. So many experts from the Celestial Lion Clan.

This was a complete and utter disaster.

The aura radiating from the handsome, golden-haired man in the lead, in particular, was so overwhelming it left her feeling hopeless.

"Qin Feng, we need to be careful this time. The man in the lead is an expert of the Profound Extreme Realm, the Third Secret Realm of Condensing Vein. He has condensed at least four or five Spirit Veins, and he has a trace of Emperor’s Blood. He’s extremely powerful. You must be careful!"

Xuelian’s expression was more solemn than he had ever seen, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Qin Feng gave a slight nod. He replied via a secret voice transmission.

"Don’t worry, I’ll deal with that guy. You all just figure out how to handle the rest. If a fight breaks out, focus on protecting yourselves first. Once I’ve slaughtered that Celestial Lion Royal Family expert, I’ll come back you up!"

"Alright. I’ll take the silver-haired woman from the Bright Heavenly Lion Royal Family!" Xuelian nodded silently. Among the many Celestial Lion Clan experts, besides the golden-haired man, the strongest was undoubtedly the woman from the Bright Heavenly Lion Clan.

Qin Feng glanced at Xuelian and nodded to himself in approval.

After settling things in secret, Qin Feng’s gaze swept over the black-robed young woman. Seeing her eyes shining and her gaze darting about with that sweet expression, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of irritation.

An idea came to him, and a sinister smile played across his lips.

An invisible force from his hand lifted Shi Tong’s body into the air. Qin Feng’s five fingers closed around her elegant, pale neck.

"You want me to let her go? Fine. But you have to let us leave!"

Qin Feng squeezed hard. Immense pressure constricted her throat, and Shi Tong felt herself begin to suffocate. A flush of crimson spread across her stunningly beautiful face against her will.

Shi Tong glared at Qin Feng with pure hatred, wishing she could bite a chunk of flesh right off him.

Shi Wushuang’s face darkened. "Absolutely not! The Celestial Lion Royal Family does not bow to threats from anyone. All of you will die today!"

Beside him, the silver-haired young woman’s expression changed slightly.

Qin Feng glanced at Shi Tong and saw a flicker of despair in her expression.

A flicker of a triumphant, conspiratorial smile flashed in his eyes. A cold sneer on his face, Qin Feng pulled the black-robed young woman closer.

"Don’t you care about her at all? It seems she’s deeply in love with you. A great beauty as lovely as a flower and as precious as jade—can you really bear to watch her die here?!"

Qin Feng reached out one hand and caressed the young woman’s cheek, her skin as soft and smooth as the finest silk. Shi Tong seethed with hatred, her eyes burning with fury as she stared at him.

"Does such a beautiful woman have no appeal to you at all?"

After speaking, Qin Feng caught a glimpse of the black-robed young woman’s expressionless face out of the corner of his eye. Although Shi Tong was trying her best to maintain a cold and indifferent facade, Qin Feng noticed her ears twitch slightly. Clearly, she cared deeply about the answer.

Shi Wushuang was silent for a moment. After a while, he lifted his head, a flicker of cold indifference in his eyes.

"The dignity of the Celestial Lion Royal Family cannot be provoked. You cunning two-legged sheep, you’d best give up that idea. Whether she lives or dies, all of you will pay the price!"

A worried look appeared on her face, and Shi Han opened her mouth to speak, but Shi Wushuang stopped her.

"Sister Han, say no more. The glory of the Celestial Lion Royal Family is paramount!"

Qin Feng’s face was full of regret. His gaze quietly swept over Shi Tong, who was biting her lip so hard her teeth showed, her eyes frozen and devoid of warmth. A faint, mocking smile appeared in his own eyes.

"What a shame. If a woman were like that for me, I would never give up on her so easily. Honor? Dignity? That’s all bullshit. How can such empty, illusory things compare to the life of the woman you love!"

Qin Feng sighed softly. With every word he spoke, Shi Tong’s expression grew a shade colder, until finally, a trickle of fresh blood appeared at the corner of her mouth.

CRITICAL HIT!

The young maiden’s heart is shattered!

You love to see it!

Though his face showed regret, Qin Feng was inwardly blooming with delight.

Shi Tong’s gaze was cold and listless, the will to live completely gone from her beautiful eyes.

"Just kill me. The dignity of the Celestial Lion Royal Family cannot be defiled!"

Hearing this, Qin Feng threw Shi Tong to the ground at his feet. He then looked up, lifting his chin slightly, and sneered.

"’The dignity of the Royal Race cannot be defiled’? What a load of crap! Dignity is earned through strength, not bought with the sacrifice of a woman’s life!"

Qin Feng glanced at Shi Tong, then crouched down and lifted her delicate chin. His gaze pierced straight into her eyes, as if stabbing into the depths of her heart. A cold smile touched his lips. "You watch. I will show you what true dignity is, and what true glory is!"

Qin Feng pointed at Shi Wushuang and sneered. "And him? The dignity he’s trying to buy with your life is worthless in my eyes! It’s less than dog shit!"

Qin Feng grabbed the young woman’s chin and brought his face close. A trace of panic appeared on Shi Tong’s beautiful face and she tried to pull away. For some reason, just meeting the gaze of this black-robed youth made her heart flutter with unease.

Forcibly holding her chin, Qin Feng said, "So, instead of loving him, you might as well love me. Switch your affections right now. And if you have any reservations, don’t worry. I’m about to beat him to a pulp, and then we can be a loving couple!"

Watching the incredibly domineering Qin Feng, the few young women present found themselves in a daze for some reason.

For the first time, these young women felt that perhaps this black-robed youth wasn’t as vicious and heartless as they thought.

Compared to the noble, golden-haired man who spouted slogans and prided himself on his dignity, Qin Feng seemed far more of a man at this moment.

In contrast, the golden-haired man who was willing to sacrifice a woman to preserve his so-called royal dignity was despicable.

Even if that guy Qin Feng also seemed to be a complete bastard.

Sensing the strange looks from all around, especially the intensely disapproving gazes from the few female experts within his own clan, Shi Wushuang’s face started to turn green.

His chest heaved violently; his lungs felt ready to explode with rage.

A moment later, his fury erupted into a roar. "Kill them! Kill him!"

Shi Wushuang took the lead, transforming into a streak of golden light and charging toward Qin Feng.

At that moment, Shi Wushuang wanted nothing more than to tear this detestable black-robed youth to shreds!
