Chapter 803: Chapter 813: Southern Border!

"Then it seems that Hu Gego might still be alive!" Tang Zhong said.

"Haha, impossible! Hu Gego has been dead for a long time. After his death, Yun Country even made a documentary about it!" General Peng Yuan said.

"Let’s hope so!" Tang Zhong replied. He wasn’t afraid of Hu Gego.

But because, if everyone believed Hu Gego was dead yet he was still alive, wouldn’t that be even more terrifying?

"Got it!" Tang Zhong said.

"By the way, there’s something I need to tell you. Our people from the Dragon Group recently found a place with a Spiritual Spring near the Southern Border of Xuan Country. I wonder if it might be of use to you, General Tang?" Peng Yuan said.

"It will be!" As long as it was a Spiritual Spring, it would be useful to Tang Zhong.

All he had to do was condense the Blood Power of the Blood Toad into the Spiritual Spring.

"That’s fantastic! So when does General Tang plan to set off?" asked General Peng Yuan.

"I’ll go home and take a look first!" Tang Zhong said.

Everything he was doing now was for Jiang Weiwei. Initially, he thought finding the Spiritual Spring and releasing the Blood Toad’s power would strengthen Xuan Country. But now, he carried an additional responsibility: finding the eight stones mentioned by the Flame Dragon Soldiers.

As for what those stones were, he would find out once he gathered them all.

"Go ahead!" General Peng Yuan said.

"Understood!" Tang Zhong nodded and prepared to head home.

Before he knew it, another week had passed.

He still hadn’t seen Weiwei. Every time, he felt guilt toward her, but such was a man’s heart. A man’s chest is meant to carry the whole world, as well as a beloved wife. And even a harem of concubines—what of it? Being surrounded by flowers—what of it?

With Tang Zhong’s current capabilities, hordes of beautiful women would willingly throw themselves at him, vying to serve him day and night. But not just any beauty could match Tang Zhong. To leave his essence in every woman—that was no feat. To leave his love—that was the mark of a true man.

And only a woman with both perfect character and extraordinary looks was worthy of Tang Zhong!

Jiang Weiwei was precisely such a woman!

At this moment, that woman was waiting for him at home.

He soon arrived at the Tang Family residence.

Tang Zhong wanted to surprise Jiang Weiwei, so he quietly snuck into the house.

Jiang Weiwei was likely at work and not at home. First, he would tidy up a bit. Weiwei would surely be delighted when she returned.

But just as he entered the house...

Tang Zhong heard the sound of sobbing, which was coming from Jiang Weiwei’s room.

Something was wrong!

Tang Zhong quickly hurried over. Upon opening the door, he saw Jiang Weiwei inside. But there was also Li Chuwen, the girl with the black silk stockings from before. Li Chuwen appeared to be crying helplessly, while Jiang Weiwei was beside her, comforting her.

Li Chuwen was now also working at the Crown Prince Clubhouse.

As Tang Zhong pushed the door open, Jiang Weiwei and Li Chuwen both turned to look at him.

At the moment Jiang Weiwei saw Tang Zhong, light filled her eyes, but her pale face could not hide her worry. "Do you have a solution?"

Then, she rushed toward Tang Zhong, saying, "That’s great, you’re finally back!"

"What happened?" Tang Zhong asked.

But as he looked at Jiang Weiwei, he noticed something was wrong. "Why does your face look so pale?"

Hearing his question, Jiang Weiwei quickly touched her face, her eyes revealing flickers of worry. But soon, she grabbed Tang Zhong’s hand and said, "Oh, it’s nothing. I was just wearing makeup. You’re back just in time—Wenwen is in trouble!"

Tang Zhong believed the makeup excuse and asked, "What trouble?"

Li Chuwen was someone Tang Zhong had known from the very beginning. If something happened, he wouldn’t take it lightly.

"Her family is trying to force her to marry someone she doesn’t like!" Jiang Weiwei said.

"Then just don’t marry him!" Tang Zhong replied.

How simple was that?

"She has no choice! Apparently, they’re very powerful in the South!" Jiang Weiwei said.

"How powerful?" Tang Zhong asked.

"Extremely wealthy. Wenwen’s family has no way to resist!" Jiang Weiwei said.

Seeing how anxious Jiang Weiwei was, yet still not entirely understanding the situation, Tang Zhong turned to Li Chuwen. "You tell me. What exactly happened? I’ll listen."

At this moment, Li Chuwen looked utterly haggard, as though she’d cried for days. Hearing Tang Zhong’s question, she said, "I..."

"Speak. I will see justice done for you!" Tang Zhong promised.

Looking at Tang Zhong, Li Chuwen felt compelled to spill everything. She knew how powerful Tang Zhong was.

"Here’s what happened. My hometown is in the Southern Border Tribe, and my family is just an ordinary one there," Li Chuwen explained.

Southern Border Tribe!

Tang Zhong didn’t know much about the tribe. He only remembered that the Southern Border was a place where Gu Art practitioners thrived. They raised various insects to do their bidding.

"Last month, I returned home for a visit. I didn’t expect to run into a tribal festival. Since I’d been away for so long, my family took me along. During the festival, I met a man named Miao Qing, from another village. He looked hideous, but he said he liked me. After the festival, he sent people to propose marriage to my family. I refused, and so did my parents. But Miao Qing insisted, forcing the betrothal gifts on us. I had no choice but to run away. Miao Qing’s family is extremely powerful, and I’m terrified!" Li Chuwen said.

Hearing this, Tang Zhong immediately understood—it was nothing short of barbaric bride-snatching.

"Then just confront them!" Tang Zhong said.

"No... Miao Qing knows our tribe’s long-lost Gu Art! Otherwise, my family wouldn’t have been so scared. I understand how dangerous Gu Art can be!" Li Chuwen said.

Gu Art!

Tang Zhong had heard of this before. It was said that in the Southern Border, people practiced techniques involving planting parasites inside others to easily take their lives.

"There’s no need to be afraid!" Tang Zhong reassured her.

"That’s right, Wenwen, don’t be afraid. I’ll lend Tang Zhong to you. Let him help you resolve this!" Jiang Weiwei said.

Hearing this, Tang Zhong was a bit annoyed. Did it feel like Weiwei wanted to give him away?

"But..." Li Chuwen hesitated with many concerns.

She knew how terrifying Gu Art was, but she didn’t fully comprehend Tang Zhong’s true strength!

Her understanding of Tang Zhong was mostly as an extraordinary fighter, someone incredibly skilled. But skill alone wasn’t enough against Gu Art—it often led to death.

In that moment, Li Chuwen’s phone started ringing. She immediately answered and heard an urgent voice on the other end. "Wenwen..."

"Mom..." Li Chuwen called out.

"Wenwen, don’t come back, no matter what!" her mother’s frantic voice pleaded.

Li Chuwen panicked and shouted, "Miao Qing, what are you doing? Let go of my mom!"

From the other end came a man’s chilling laughter. "Li Chuwen, why did you run away? I’ve already delivered the bride price to your family, yet you fled? Where is my dignity as Miao Qing? I’ll give you one day—return to the Southern Border and apologize. Otherwise, your family will die."

"No! I’ll go back. Don’t hurt my family!" Li Chuwen cried.

"That depends on you!" the voice on the other end threatened.

Li Chuwen said nothing further and hung up. She immediately declared, "I have to go back! I’m going home right now!"

Jiang Weiwei urged Tang Zhong, "You... go help Wenwen now!"

Tang Zhong noticed something odd about Jiang Weiwei’s behavior, but saving someone was the priority. He followed Li Chuwen out without delay.

Meanwhile, after watching the two leave, the smile on Jiang Weiwei’s face slowly faded. In her eyes, there was a deep sorrow mixed with reluctance. "Brother Tang... I really don’t want to give you to someone else. But I... I don’t have much time left. Wenwen is a good girl... You have to cherish her."

What Jiang Weiwei was doing now was to give Tang Zhong and Li Chuwen a chance to spend more time together, hoping it would sprout feelings between them. Only then could she leave with peace of mind.

Looking down at her arm, Jiang Weiwei saw her veins glowing faint blue, as if they were about to freeze.
