【After that barrage of Jiahao Quotes landed, everyone present was completely stunned for a full ten breaths.】

【Even Golden Lady, seated on the city lord's throne, unconsciously straightened her posture. She opened her mouth as if to speak, only to stop herself.】

【Liu Jiahao paid no attention to any of it. After glancing around the hall, he raised a hand and pointed directly at Golden Lady.】

【"Hah. You've been so overwhelmed by my charm that you've lost the ability to speak, haven't you? It's fine. Once you're with me, you'll get used to this kind of life. Come. Become my woman."】

【Upon hearing that, Supervisor Ding Biao, standing behind him, had already covered his face with one hand.】

【Too embarrassing. This was beyond embarrassing.】

【Bringing him here had been a terrible decision from the start. If he'd known things would turn out like this, he would have beaten him to death earlier and spared himself this suffering.】

【Still... this was a rather unconventional approach.】

【What if Golden Lady actually liked this type?】

【Even now, Ding Biao still clung to a tiny sliver of hope. No matter how small, he wanted to hold on to it.】

【Unfortunately, what he imagined never happened.】

【Instead, Golden Lady's face filled with fury.】

【She grabbed the jade cup from the table and hurled it directly at Liu Jiahao's face.】

【"Drag him outside and kill him! Now! Immediately!"】

【Ding Biao shuddered. Then he rushed forward, grabbed Liu Jiahao by the hair, and dragged him toward the exit while covering his mouth with one hand.】

【There was no helping it. He had tolerated this fool for far too long. He truly didn't want to hear another word from him.】

【"Mmph! Mmphmmph!"】

【And just like that, Liu Jiahao was dragged away.】

【Only four candidates remained.】

【The three dispirited members of the God Clan were visibly nervous. None of them even dared speak.】

【Meanwhile, Ye Yu stood at the edge of the group.】

【The vitality and confidence radiating from him alone surpassed the others by several levels.】

【That's right. Ye Yu had done absolutely nothing to disguise himself.】

【Nor had he deliberately tried to make himself appear ugly.】

【Because Liu Jiahao had already provided the perfect example.】

【Deliberately making himself look bad might easily offend Golden Lady and still end with him being killed.】

【Rather than acting timidly and pathetically, he might as well place an honest bet on probability.】

【After figuring that out, Ye Yu felt unexpectedly liberated.】

【Golden Lady immediately took a liking to him.】

【As for the other three weaklings, she wasn't interested in sparing them a second glance.】

【She smiled at once.】

【"Zheng Ke, I'm very satisfied with the candidate you've brought this time. Send him over."】

【"As you command, Golden Lady."】

【Zheng Ke cupped his hands respectfully, though a trace of gloom flashed through his eyes.】

【He gestured for Ye Yu to step forward.】

【Ye Yu didn't hesitate and calmly walked ahead.】

【At the same time, Zheng Ke's voice echoed within his sea of consciousness.】

【Kid, serve Golden Lady well. This is your opportunity. But remember to take care of your health. I'll find some restorative medicines for you. Golden Lady has some very unique preferences. You need to endure them for a while. When the time comes, the two of us will leave this damned place together.】

【Hearing those words, Ye Yu glanced back at Zheng Ke.】

【Even now, this guy was still trying to sell him a dream. It seemed he truly wanted to escape.】

【But things were different now.】

【The moment you handed me over, your path was already cut off.】

【Ye Yu offered no reply and walked directly to stand before Golden Lady.】

【His tall figure caused Golden Lady's eyes to nearly turn into hearts.】

【"Good. Very good. Stay by my side from now on. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you. What do you think?"】

【Ye Yu raised an eyebrow and answered with a question of his own.】

【"On the way here, Supervisor Zheng Ke repeatedly told me that you have certain unusual preferences. I'd like to know exactly what those preferences are."】

【Before he could even finish speaking, Zheng Ke panicked.】

【"You bastard! What nonsense are you talking about? Golden Lady, don't believe his lies! I never said anything like that! He's trying to sow discord!"】

【Ye Yu offered no explanation.】

【He simply looked quietly at Golden Lady.】

【As though waiting for an answer.】

【Golden Lady was no fool.】

【The member of the God Clan before her clearly looked newly arrived. Otherwise, he would never possess such vitality and spirit.】

【As for her personal habits, only the supervisors knew about them. Ye Yu could not possibly have learned them on his own.】

【Whether Zheng Ke had spoken or not was obvious at a glance.】

【Golden Lady wasted no words.】

【She suddenly opened her mouth. A gigantic toad-like tongue shot forth, instantly wrapping around Zheng Ke and dragging him to her side.】

【"Golden Lady, spare me! Golden Lady, spare—"】

【Before he could finish pleading, Golden Lady swallowed him whole.】

【Afterward, she even dabbed elegantly at the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief.】

【At that sight, the remaining three supervisors and three members of the God Clan immediately dropped to their knees, their faces pale.】

【After all, Zheng Ke was practically one of the founding veterans of this place.】

【Yet even someone like him could be eaten without hesitation.】

【What chance did anyone else have?】

【Golden Lady's gaze shifted back to Ye Yu.】

【"Actually, your supervisor wasn't wrong. I do have some unusual habits. How should I put it? Whenever emotions run high, I enjoy swallowing a piece of my lover's flesh."】

【"But don't worry. I'm very satisfied with you, so I won't let you die. At most, you'll suffer a little every few days."】

【"Like I said before, as long as you stay by my side obediently, I can give you anything you want."】

【Ye Yu nodded thoughtfully.】

【"So that's the special preference Zheng Ke was talking about. What a disappointment. I thought it would be something else."】

【Golden Lady asked curiously,】

【"What did you think it was?"】

【"Nothing. My question has been answered."】

【Ye Yu waved a hand and showed no interest in elaborating.】

【Coincidentally, Golden Lady didn't care to ask further. She simply reached out to take his hand.】

【But Ye Yu immediately avoided her touch.】

【The small gesture instantly displeased Golden Lady.】

【Her voice turned cold.】

【"What? Are you trying to resist?"】

【"No, no. That's not what I mean. I simply prefer taking the initiative myself."】

【Ye Yu's answer immediately excited her.】

【"Then let me see just how proactive you can be."】

【Before the words had fully left her mouth—】

【A heavy slap landed squarely across her face.】

【The crisp sound echoed throughout the vast hall.】

【Everyone present was drawn to it instantly.】

【They all raised their heads, their eyes filled with disbelief.】

【How was that possible?】

【How could he dare do such a thing?】

【Wasn't he afraid of death?】

【Not only could they not believe it—even Golden Lady herself hadn't expected Ye Yu to slap her.】

【For a brief moment, she even wondered whether she had suffered a cultivation mishap and started hallucinating.】
