The Cultivator's partner went off track all the way

Chapter 956 A Cruel Deal

"Village chief, I heard that your tribesmen have come down again. This time it's a young woman. Let me in and take a look."

The young man's frivolous voice sounded outside the door.

Tang Jinghui frowned and signaled her to be quiet.

"One of my people unfortunately fell into the underground. She was injured and cannot meet guests."

The man outside the door immediately recognized this as an excuse, "Village Chief Tang, you are not doing anything shameful, are you? I will tell the king the truth when I return."

Tang Yue pondered secretly, it turns out that there is not only a village here with the Tang family living there, but also a king?
Judging from what the man outside said, he is not a member of the Tang family.

The village chief said, "I will take my granddaughter to meet King Tanmei later."

“You’d better do this. The king will not allow anyone with unknown reasons to appear under his jurisdiction.

Originally, I should have been the one to capture these fallen people and bring them back to the king for his punishment.

It’s just that the Empress has instructed that the Tang family should be treated favorably, so she asked you to go pick up your people.”

For some reason, when the village chief heard the word "Empress", his face turned ugly for a moment.

This is interesting.

"Please ask the patrol officer to report to the king. My granddaughter has just arrived here and is still in shock. It would be rude to meet the King of Greed at this moment. Let me teach her and she can meet the king tomorrow."

"Hmph, that's better." The stone gate had the spiritual power of the Tang family on it, which was higher than his level. He couldn't destroy it, so he could only leave angrily.

"That annoying guy is gone." Xiaoxi stood by the window, staring out, as if she was relieved.

She turned around and glanced at Tang Yue with a reproachful look, "It's all your fault."

Tang Yue didn't say anything and just took a sip of tea. It wasn't her decision to come here.

"Xiao Xi, don't say that. It's not wrong for a person to be born good-looking. It should be a blessing."

The village chief asked Tang Yue, "By the way, what name did your father give you?"

"Tang Yue."

"This is a good name. Yue is a divine pearl held by the gods, symbolizing auspiciousness and nobility. When the Yue Pearl falls into the human world, it will protect the area and bring glory to the world. It seems that your father has great expectations for you."

"It should be that my mother has high expectations of me."

Tang Jinghui didn't understand why she said that, but it wasn't very important.

"By the way, how did you get to the underground? I once appeared in your father's dream and told him that the Tang family had been dwindling and no one was allowed to enter the Abyss again."

"Um, well, my father accidentally entered the Abyss, and I'm here to look for him."

It’s hard to say that Tang Wenhua jumped off the cliff out of shame and anger because he lost the power struggle with her.

Not only will it give you a bad reputation, but it will also be bad to anger this "grandfather" and do something to him.

Tang Jinghui sighed, "What a sin! Now that you have come down, will the Tang family still have descendants?"

"I still have a sister on the ground." But the curse backfired and she was on the verge of death.

Tang Jinghui was speechless, tears flashing in his eyes, "The Tang family has reached the point of extinction, and Wenhua didn't even leave a son."

"Grandpa, don't be sad. There are many members of the Tang family here." Xiao Xi hurried forward to comfort him, with heartache in his eyes.

Tang Yue had a cold expression on her face. Haha, women are not considered descendants?
Tang Jinghui patted Xiaoxi's hand and said, "You are right. When we return to the earth together, the Tang family will have hope of revival."

This caught Tang Yue's attention. Does this mean that the Tang family members underground want to return to the surface?
"I wonder if Grandpa has seen my father?"

In fact, she was already sure that Tang Jinghui had never met Tang Wenhua, otherwise he would not have spoken to her so kindly and tried to prove it to her.

"I haven't met your father. He may have found the same path my father found."

But Tang Jinghui looked solemn and did not look happy at all.

Tang Yue was surprised, "So, father is going to get a great opportunity?" Tang Jinghui smiled bitterly, "What kind of opportunity is that? If father hadn't gone there, although my Tang family couldn't become the master of a city, we could still live safely as a noble family.

You should have figured out that we, the Tang family, are not the only ones underground. There are others as well."

"who are they?"

"They are...outsiders. The opportunity for my Tang family was obtained through trading with them."

"The Nineteen Kunwu Swords came from someone outside the universe?"

"Yes, and those treasures and supplies were all given by them."

"What is the price the Tang family paid?"

"You are calm and rational." Tang Jinghui was dissatisfied with her calm attitude.

Shouldn't the descendants of the Tang family be shocked and heartbroken when they heard that their family had suffered such a great misfortune?
"Grandpa, I don't show it on my face, but my heart is already in turmoil."

There was nothing she could do. She just didn't have much affection for the Tang family's ancestors, but she could still say a few nice words.

"The price is that the Tang family has to send men down regularly to marry with foreigners and reproduce."

Tang Jinghui's face turned extremely ugly.

Tang Yue opened her eyes wide and looked at Tang Jinghui in disbelief. She really couldn't control her shock.

To say it is a union does not mean it is a marriage.

In other words, the men of the Tang family, including Tang Jinghui in front of them, were captured underground and mated with the aliens...

Faced with such a direct gaze from his granddaughter, Tang Jinghui felt a little embarrassed and almost couldn't help but get up and leave.

Xiao Xi rebuked Tang Yue, "What's that expression on your face?"

"Don't blame me, Sister Xiaoxi. I have no other intentions. I am just heartbroken for what happened to our ancestors. They suffered such inhuman treatment..."

"Okay, don't feel sad. Now we should find a way to leave together."

Tang Yue thought about it and felt something was wrong, "But there are also women among the missing members of the Tang family."

She remembered that she had an aunt who had a rumor that she had disappeared in the abyss.

"They... were invited to the royal palace and the imperial palace and became saints of the outer world."

"Saint?" She remembered that the Paradise Cult once wanted to make her a saint, which was not a good title.

There is a concealing meaning in Tang Jinghui's words, and the woman from the Tang family will not have a good ending.

"What does a saint do?"

"She is a candidate for the next Empress of the Outer Worlds. She must compete with the current Empress. If she loses, she will die...

So far, the empress has not been replaced."

In other words, these Tang family women disappeared underground, inexplicably participated in a brutal struggle, and died.

It’s so miserable to be a girl of the Tang family.

"I am here to participate in the battle for the empress?"

"Not necessarily. Maybe we can think of another way. You don't have to go."

"Why do the outsiders want the Tang family to participate in reproduction and the replacement of the empress? Will they be unable to have children after going underground?"

"It should be like this." Tang Jinghui was somewhat dissatisfied with Tang Yue's repeated questioning.

She is a girl, so she just needs to listen to what her elders say.

"What I'm going to say next is about whether our people can leave the underground. Just listen and don't interrupt. I'll ask you questions and you answer them."

Tang Yue rolled her eyes in her heart. He was indeed Tang Wenhua’s biological father. They had the same personality.
