Chapter 1007: Chapter 747: "He Doesn’t Love Her" (Part 3)

This battle, he was destined to lose.

Since he had already captured Shen Tang, Liu Ye was unwilling to continue tangling with Lu Xiao. With a wave of his hand, the sea surface below was instantly split in two. Two towering waves, thousands of meters high, shot up to the sky like the fangs of a giant beast, as if tearing the heavens apart.

Immediately after, the moment the waves crashed down, Liu Ye’s figure disappeared instantly.

Along with him, Shen Tang also vanished.

"Tangtang!"

Lu Xiao shouted in heart-wrenching pain, chasing after them like a madman, but he was one step too late.

Shen Tang’s figure, together with that mermaid, completely disappeared into the deep sea, vanishing without a trace, leaving nothing to be found.

He frantically bombarded the sea surface with energy, killing giant beasts summoned from the deep sea one after another, yet he still found nothing, nothing at all.

Even in the thoroughly churned sea water, he could not find any trace of Shen Tang’s lingering presence, nor could he determine any direction.

The sea surface completely calmed down, dense dark clouds dispersed, and sunlight poured through the clouds, making everything seem clear and bright, as if the apocalyptic scene just now had never existed.

Lu Xiao landed on a deserted island, his mind in shambles.

Suddenly, a domineering and powerful energy descended, followed by a strong and young figure appearing before him — Xiao Jin, who had rushed over from Sky City.

After falling prey to Mo Yan’s schemes, Xiao Jin’s superpower disappeared for a while. But he himself possessed the strength of the Elemental Breakthrough Realm, equivalent to Mo Yan’s. Although the effect of the hidden weapon suppressed him, it did not last long and he quickly recovered.

Since Mo Yan and Sky City’s forces had been pursuing him relentlessly, Xiao Jin did not want to involve Shen Tang, so only after completely shaking them off did he come to meet the two.

On his way, Xiao Jin sensed the intense energy waves from a distance, and upon seeing the battlefield blasted into ruins, he already had a foreboding feeling in his heart.

When he finally arrived, he saw Lu Xiao in a state of rage and despair, with Shen Tang not by his side.

Xiao Jin looked around anxiously and asked, "Where is Tangtang?"

Lu Xiao, his spirit shattered, said guiltily, "I didn’t protect her well. She was taken away by Liu Ye."

...

Deep Sea Palace.

Liu Ye returned to the palace holding Shen Tang in his arms.

The beastmen of the Sea Clan were utterly shocked.

Countless curious eyes looked over, finally seeing the true appearance of the beauty Your Majesty held.

That female had long black hair like clouds, skin white as jade, an incredibly beautiful face with delicate willow-leaf eyebrows, long curled eyelashes, a sharp nose, and lips like blooming flower buds.

Even though she was still unconscious, it was apparent that her stunning face was more beautiful than the most favored mermaid consort by Your Majesty!

Could this be the new romantic interest brought back by Your Majesty?

But isn’t Your Majesty very particular about bloodlines? There are only beauties from the Sea Clan by his side, why does this female seem like a land-based foreign female?

Perhaps Your Majesty has recently changed his preferences?

Feeling the prying eyes of the surrounding beastmen, and even some stunned and infatuated gazes falling on Shen Tang, Liu Ye frowned deeply, a trace of displeasure as well as a chill of killing intent rising in his heart.

He tightened his arms, letting Shen Tang’s face rest on his chest to cover her exquisite and stunning face.

He turned coldly toward the servants who were trying to pry, his voice icy as frost,

"Does my person look good to you?"

"Forgive us, Your Majesty!"

The people were so frightened they fell to their knees, their heads almost touching the floor, not daring to look any longer for fear of being beheaded.

Liu Ye had more pressing matters to attend to and couldn’t be bothered with them, only warning, "Tonight’s news is not to be spread, and no one is allowed to disturb. Otherwise, bring your heads to see me."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Liu Ye carried Shen Tang to the sleeping chamber.

He took her directly into a secluded back hall.

This was not the main hall, essentially a Dark Hall, rarely visited, and many in the palace didn’t even know of its existence.

Liu Ye would only occasionally come here alone to rest.

He laid Shen Tang on the bed, gazing down at her as his fair and slender fingers gently caressed her face, a fleeting look of distraction seeming to pass through his eyes.

The female’s delicate complexion turned pale, as if drained of color, yet a trace of crimson blood lingered on her lips, like a half-withered red plum on a branch in the icy snow, strikingly beautiful.

The Mermaid Clan was born with an affinity for beauty, in love with beautiful things.

Liu Ye still remembered the first time he saw her.

She lay beneath him, tangled gently with her body like molten wax, kissing him wildly and fervently.

Her black hair disheveled, her eye corners flushed red, those beautiful and enchanting eyes brimming with mist and tears, whispered love and broken cries...

That scene.

Could make any male in the world weak all over, driven insane, descending into a beast controlled by primal desires.

Initially, Liu Ye was extremely averse to females, even detesting their touch.

But at that moment, he was captivated by the scene before him, obeying instinct, continuing like a spellbound entity.

Her taste was indeed wonderful.

Even remembering it now made Liu Ye feel his Divine Soul softened, savoring the past.

His Adam’s apple rolled suddenly, a certain hardness emerged, veins pulsed on his forehead, swiftly suppressing the improper reaction.

From the beginning, in Jia Lan’s guise, she treated him well, and her loving demeanor did cause him to briefly succumb for a moment, even a ridiculous thought crossed his mind—

That if things continued this way, it wouldn’t be impossible.

He could keep disguising his identity, having her remain by his side, serving him with her beauty.

But regrettably, this female was smart and cautious, exposing his identity.

Later, the two confronted each other sharply, she wanted to kill him to bring back the idiot.

It was that moment the short-lived and lovely dream shattered completely, and Liu Ye saw reality clearly — Shen Tang only liked Jia Lan, not him.

Liu Ye was equally clear that the lingering he once had for her was only spurred by the male instinct’s desire.

He didn’t love her at all, even when he himself didn’t understand what love was.

Thinking of this, Liu Ye felt the warmth rising in his body being doused by a cold shower instantly.

His handsome expression turned cold, yet a hard-to-disperse annoyance lingered.

"What’s so good about that idiot, that you like him so much, you don’t even care about your own life?"

"I was planning on letting you go and forgetting you, but this time you brought it on yourself, don’t blame me."

"I know with your strength, the troops I sent couldn’t kill you. I’ve already given you a warning... yet you dared to come to my territory, truly jumping into the net, utterly foolish."

He sneered coldly, as if mocking her stupidity, yet within those deep-blue eyes, a stormy frustration lingered.

"If you knew I was here and came because you truly wanted me... perhaps, I wouldn’t kill you."
