Chapter 604 - 335: My Paternal Cousin’s Name is Miao Miaomiao

Zhao Rui and his companion followed the sound into the hall and saw seven or eight men with incredibly arrogant attitudes surrounding a young woman.

The young woman was curled up on the floor, trembling uncontrollably as she cried and begged.

Her lovely face was streaked with tears, and a bright red palm print marred her fair, delicate cheek.

"You bunch of animals!"

"I’m going to report you!"

Just then, a heart-rending scream came from the restroom on the east side of the hall.

"Mom! Dad!"

Hearing the scream, the surrounded woman grew frantic and tried to rush toward the restroom.

But the men were tall and strong, and with their considerable power, they easily blocked her way.

"Young Master Miao, Young Master Miao, I’m begging you, please let my parents go."

The woman fell to her knees before a man with green-dyed hair and bizarre clothes, kowtowing nonstop.

Soon, a red welt formed on her forehead.

"What took you so long?"

"However... it’s not impossible."

A flicker of hope ignited in the woman. She quickly kowtowed again, saying, "Thank you, Young Master Miao. Thank you, Young Master Miao."

"Ah, don’t be so quick to thank me."

A wicked smirk played on the man’s lips. He stroked his chin and said with a depraved air,

"Take off all your clothes. Do a little dance. I remember back in school, you used to be a solo dancer, weren’t you?"

"If I’m satisfied with your dance, I’ll naturally let them go."

The man waggled his eyebrows, his gaze lecherous and mocking as he stared at the woman on the floor.

"No, no! Young Master Miao!"

The woman’s face went deathly pale. She finally understood that the man before her had no intention of ever letting her go.

’Even if I give myself to him now, he’ll just torture me to death slowly.’

’He’s just an animal.’

"Mom, Dad, I’m sorry. Your daughter has to go on ahead!"

With a tragic cry, she bit down hard, intending to sever her tongue and end her own life.

Witnessing this, Miao Miaomiao, who had been standing invisibly to the side, could hold back no longer. She struck, pressing the acupoints on the woman’s jaw to stop her, then revealed herself and strode forward.

"Who’s there?"

The men heard the noise and turned to look. They saw a ridiculously beautiful woman in maternity clothes. Though the outfit hid her figure, they could still make out a graceful silhouette.

"What a gorgeous woman."

The green-haired man raised an eyebrow. He rubbed the tip of his nose, then glanced at the woman on the ground before chuckling. "Trying to be a hero?"

"Fine. You can take her place. No, you can take the place of all three of them."

Miao Miaomiao’s expression was terrifyingly grim. She struck out from afar, and a gust of palm wind flew out, sending the man flying.

"Young Master, Young Master!"

The guards were shocked and hurriedly rushed over to help the man up.

"You dare to hit me? Do you have any idea who I am?"

"Who are you?"

Miao Miaomiao’s gaze was frosty, her voice as cold as the dead of winter.

"My surname is Miao. My cousin’s surname is also Miao. The wife of Emperor Zhao... her... surname... is Miao."

The man glared, his voice sharp as he spat out the last few words one by one.

The moment the words left his mouth, he seemed to stand taller, his posture straightening with arrogance.

"Your cousin?"

"What’s her name?"

Miao Miaomiao forced herself to be patient, asking through clenched teeth, word by word.

"’What’s her name?’" he mocked. "As if you’re worthy of knowing. Just come back with me obediently, or else..."

"Or else what?"

Miao Miaomiao waved her hand, sending another slap flying toward him.

This time, however, her slap didn’t connect. A lean figure appeared and blocked her attack.

"Impressive power. However, Young Master Miao is not someone you can afford to provoke."

The newcomer, a man with a salt-and-pepper beard, had an aura as deep as an abyss. He was a Dharma Realm expert.

"Oh? I’d be interested to hear just who this Young Master Miao really is."

Zhao Rui’s figure gradually materialized out of thin air, his burning gaze fixed on the old man before him.

The old man glanced at Zhao Rui, and a flicker of something crossed his eyes, but he quickly dismissed the thought.

He turned to the green-haired man and said, "Young Master Miao, this man is no ordinary person. It’s possible he knows your patron..."

The meaning behind the old man’s words was clear: anyone who could materialize from the void was at least at the Half-Step Domain Realm, an opponent he truly could not defeat.

Therefore, he was hoping Young Master Miao would hurry up and state his backing to avoid any misunderstandings.

Hearing this, the man nodded. He looked at the pair with cold arrogance and announced loudly,

"My cousin’s name is Miao Miaomiao—wife of the current Emperor Zhao. Haha! Scared now, are you?"
