After escaping certain death, Yang Tiantian finally fled the land of peril.
Looking at the familiar waters, she recalled the bittersweet experiences she had in Piaomiao Village all those years ago.
Then, a sudden realization struck her—
The creatures that emerged from the Reincarnation Gate, their corpses that fell into the water, must have drifted for who knows how long, just as she had in her solitary coffin, eventually reaching the waters where Piaomiao Village was located!
This meant.
Piaomiao Village, known as the Dragon Vein of the Eastern Water Dragon, had some inexplicable connection with that luminous Reincarnation Gate, a connection Yang Tiantian couldn't comprehend.
But she had no time to ponder, nor any need to analyze the relationship between Piaomiao Village and the legendary Reincarnation Gate.
She simply held firmly to Li Nanfang's warning from back then!
She feared that as soon as Li Nanfang found her trace, he would come for her, break her limbs, sever her meridians, and leave her to die miserably.
Thus.
Yang Tiantian fled with all haste into the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Lingnan, and escaped beyond the border.
It was beyond the border that, by chance, Yang Tiantian rescued a high-ranking member of a certain dark web who was being jointly purged by the four major global powers.
And then.
Yang Tiantian, with her supreme charm and fearsome, malevolent skills, joined the dark web.
Using her own abilities, she began to rebuild the shattered dark web.
Reorganizing the six top executives!!
While reorganizing the dark web, Yang Tiantian encountered Yamaguchi Kyoshou, who was cornered after betraying Li Xiao.
They found common ground—
Yang Tiantian hired Yamaguchi Kyoshou as the chief consultant of the dark web.
To rebuild the dark web, they needed to cultivate a large number of experts.
But how could they cultivate a large number of experts in the shortest possible time?
Upon learning of Yang Tiantian's miraculous experiences, Yamaguchi Kyoshou immediately suggested analyzing her cells to see what made her unique.
After all, she had undergone a significant transformation after consuming those mosses.
The analysis results—
Yang Tiantian's body carried the 209 virus!
Undoubtedly, she possessed 209 herself because she had consumed those mosses.
And those mosses were fertilized by strange life forms.
The 209 possessed by Yang Tiantian herself was far more peculiar and advanced than the viruses seen on the market.
Crucially—
Once the extracted and cultivated "Yang's 209" was injected into someone whose genes were highly compatible with "market 209," that person's strength and speed would undergo a qualitative change in the shortest possible time.
The higher the compatibility, the greater the change!
And so.
Through her unique cell cultivation, Yang Tiantian finally cultivated a large number of experts with varying levels of combat power.
Based on their different combat strengths, she selected five "Da Huang Hua" (Big Yellow Flowers) to serve as the second to sixth executives.
The martial arts possessed by all the cultivated dark web experts were also based on the "martial arts manuals" compiled by Yang Tiantian from the "Divine Maiden's Heavenly Flight Joyful Technique."
Frog leaps.
Croaking like frogs during pounces.
Squatting in corners while sleeping.
The natural enemies of frogs—
And so on, were all characteristics of the dark web experts.
To this day.
Dai Paipai was the only person Yang Tiantian had encountered whose genes were highly compatible with 209.
She decided to meticulously train Dai Paipai, thus breaking the rules and bypassing Director Jiao Yin, the third executive, to secretly take Dai Paipai away.
Yang Tiantian hoped that Dai Paipai could take over her position as the chief executive of the dark web.
It was precisely because Yang Tiantian was the creator of the dark web's reconstruction.
Because she had broken precedent and taken the position of chief executive of the dark web without being a "Da Huang Hua."
Her direct disciple, Dai Paipai, was also not a "Da Huang Hua," yet was certain to be the next chief executive of the dark web.
So the question arose.
Why did Yang Tiantian, who had rebuilt the dark web, wish to resign as its chief executive?
This was precisely why she had sneaked into Baiyun Temple at night to coerce Old Du into finding Li Nanfang.
Yang Tiantian looked at Li Nanfang.
Tears streamed down her face.
Her voice choked with emotion, "Decades ago, although my personality was timid and I was accustomed to submitting, I was definitely a genuine virtuous woman!"
Li Nanfang looked at her, silent.
Because he knew very well that Yang Tiantian was telling the truth.
"When Tongtong grew up and got to know you, I thought I had finally escaped the restraints of the wealthy family and could live a happy and free life."
Yang Tiantian walked in front of Li Nanfang and knelt before him.
Sniffing lightly, she continued, "Especially after you brought me to Emperor Valley, and I was with your mistress and the couple Xie Qingshang (Xie Qingshang, Li Nanfang's teacher, April of the Twelve Months of Dragon Ascendancy). That period was definitely the happiest time of my life."
Li Nanfang watched her, silent.
Alas.
Daoist Priest Du sighed softly, got up, and slowly walked out of the single room, glancing at Dai Paipai.
Dai Paipai understood and quietly followed him out, gently closing the door.
Inside the single room.
Yang Tiantian, whose eyes were only on Li Nanfang, said softly, "But just when I thought I would be happy like this forever, you returned to Emperor Valley. Out of curiosity, you trespassed into Jingmacao (a forbidden area in Emperor Valley) and were bitten by poisonous snakes all over your body. Especially your reproductive organs were severely damaged. At that time, you didn't know the current master physician of Chinese medicine, Yang Xiao. To ensure you could stand tall again, it would require a woman's mouth to provide the greatest stimulation."
Li Nanfang's eyes flickered.
He did not want to recall that time, a time he truly did not want to recall.
"At that time, besides Tongtong, who had fallen out with you, there were no other women around you."
Yang Tiantian slowly reached out and took Li Nanfang's hand.
Li Nanfang wanted to break free—
But failed.
"Besides you, there was only your mistress who raised you, your mistress who taught you martial arts, and me."
"They couldn't possibly do that."
"And neither could I!"
"But you had to recover as soon as possible!"
"What to do?"
"Only I could do it!"
"Li Nanfang, do you remember how long I dictated to you?"
"I was so tired every day that eating was difficult."
"I am a virtuous woman."
"But I am also a woman."
"A beautiful, single woman for many years."
"I am not made of stone or wood."
"After paying such a price for you, is it a sin that I have feelings for you?"
"You should know the price I paid to suppress these abnormal emotions."
"I lived in seclusion in Lingnan alone, yet I was captured by villains from Piaomiao Village."
"It was you who saved me later."
"When you killed Zhuang Qing and others to save me, we ended up together due to the evil aura of Piaomiao Village."
"I thought you would be the one to protect me for a lifetime."
"But what happened?"
"You wanted to kill me."
"Nanfang, tell me, what exactly did I, who was inherently timid and accustomed to submitting, do wrong?"
"Even when I decided to die, I wished to die in a high place."
"Because I wanted to see you even after death."
"But I didn't die."
"I rebuilt the dark web!"
"I am no longer the Yang Tiantian who was bullied by everyone."
"With my command—"
Yang Tiantian's expression turned somewhat ferocious as she spoke to this point, "I can launch a war that will displace millions. I possess all the power I could never have imagined before!"
Li Nanfang looked at her, speechless.
"I will strive for what I desire, by any means necessary, at any cost."
Yang Tiantian exhaled softly and said to Li Nanfang, "You are the thing I desire most. Given the uniqueness of 209, women cannot fall in love with any man other than the one they love."
"Leave Dai Paipai, and you go."
Li Nanfang finally spoke, his voice cold.
"I will definitely go,"
Yang Tiantian replied readily, "but I will never leave Dai Paipai. She is my direct disciple, and she is also carrying the descendant of the Li family! I also intend to use her to pursue the third-generation Dragon Lord position of the Dragon Ruins with the descendant of Su Ziyu."
Heh.
Li Nanfang smiled, "Yang Tiantian, do you really think that after you've told me so much, I won't kill you?"
"You certainly dare to kill me."
Yang Tiantian also smiled, "There is nothing in this world you, Li Nanfang, dare not do. But I can be sure that once you patiently listen to my experiences over the years, your killing intent towards me will greatly diminish. Your curiosity will compel you to seek the reason why I dared to see you, even though I knew you would kill me."
Li Nanfang remained silent.
Yang Tiantian asked, "Do you know how Zhuang Wujian of the War Demon God Hall obtained the original 209 sample?"
Li Nanfang understood, "You gave it to Zhuang Wujian."
"Yes. But she only knew I was the chief executive of the dark web, not who I was."
Yang Tiantian raised her hand and looked at her slender fingers, "In fact, what I gave her was the moss I brought back from the solitary coffin (a small residue. The suspicious Zhuang Wujian also demanded Li Qianfan's gene sample from the Rhode family).
The 209 samples in the moss were comparable to the cell and gene samples of Li Wujiang and Li Qianfan.
In return, Zhuang Wujian had to share her research findings with Yang Tiantian.
Zhuang Wujian's research revealed that 209 had male and female forms, but their essence was different.
Female 209 would only be loyal to one man.
Male 209, however, desired all women he fancied to be loyal to him!
Hmm.
Li Nanfang nodded and asked, "So what?"
"Listen to me patiently."
Yang Tiantian's voice suddenly became sweet, and she nestled softly into Li Nanfang's embrace.
Li Nanfang's expression was cold, but he did not push her away.
"Zhuang Wujian only researched that 209 was divided into male and female forms, but I made new discoveries from them."
Yang Tiantian gently caressed Li Nanfang's hand and said, "The original female 209, Li Wujiang, being loyal to one man for life, meaning loyal to Li Xiao. However, the male 209, which desired numerous women to be loyal to him, would change due to promiscuity."
"How would it change?"
Looking at their intertwined fingers, Li Nanfang patiently continued to ask.
Yang Tiantian answered indirectly, "As far as I know, Yang Xiao and Li Wujiang both captured Zhuang Wujian in Hancheng and forced her to plant a蛊 (gu) on Su Ziyu to curb Li Qianfan's aging. Am I right?"
Since she had long ago made a deal with Zhuang Wujian, it wasn't surprising to Li Nanfang that she knew many things about Zhuang Wujian.
He simply nodded, "Yes."
Yang Tiantian then said leisurely, "It's all in vain."
Li Nanfang frowned, "What is in vain?"
"Due to its promiscuous nature, the male 209 is changing! Constantly changing!"
Yang Tiantian turned back and looked at Li Nanfang, "Zhuang Wujian could not prevent Li Qianfan from aging by using the method of planting Gu."
Li Nanfang's expression changed drastically.
"Through my research, I discovered that if the mandarin duck Gu, cultivated by Zhuang Wujian, consumed the non-changing male 209, it would simply be poisoned to death."
Yang Tiantian's sweet voice continued, "But I didn't tell Zhuang Wujian about my discovery. Alas, who asked her to only want to cooperate with me, but not to bring capital (experts from the War Demon God Hall) to join the dark web and obey my command?"
