Chapter 190: So What If He's an Insect?! (Please keep reading)

Under Gu Lengyue's gaze, the flawless gentle mask on Sang Huai's face seemed to crack with an imperceptible seam, and his body stiffened unnaturally for a moment.

Two days passed in a flash.

"Zhu Tiantian," Gu Lengyue began, her voice not loud, but carrying a cold, metallic friction-like quality that clearly cut through all the background noise in the room, "the man in your arms is not human. He is an insect in human skin."

Zhu Tiantian's face grew even angrier.

"Gu Lengyue! What nonsense are you spouting?! What's gotten into you?!"

She instinctively stretched out her arm, tightly shielding Sang Huai behind her plump body, like a mobile hill of flesh.

A fleeting, almost imperceptible hint of cold malice flashed in Sang Huai's docile eyes, but it quickly transformed into innocence and panic.

"Sister Tiantian... What does Miss Gu mean? I... I'm just an ordinary person..."

His voice trembled slightly, and his body seemed to shiver with fear, shrinking further behind Zhu Tiantian's broad back. His fingers subtly tightened their grip on the fabric at the small of Zhu Tiantian's back.

This subtle touch further ignited Zhu Tiantian's protective instincts.

She pointed at Gu Lengyue, her voice rising to a shriek from excitement, spittle almost flying from her mouth:

"You stinking woman! You can't stand to see me happy, can you?! A Huai treats me the best! He's so gentle! All you pretty, high-and-mighty bitches are the same, you just think I don't deserve good things, right? Huh? You want to slander my A Huai?! I'm telling you, not a chance!"

Gu Lengyue paid no mind to Zhu Tiantian's anger.

Indeed, society holds a great deal of malice towards ugly people; it has always been this way.

She said calmly:

"I am specifically in charge of thoroughly investigating insect-humans. He is an insect-human. Do you intend to shield him?"

"In-insect-human?"

Zhu Tiantian's pupils suddenly constricted, then she shook her head violently, the fat on her face jiggling, her expression almost frantic.

"Bullshit! You can't fool me! A Huai isn't one of those disgusting monsters! The way he looks at me is different from those scumbags! Those people look at me like a pig, only A Huai! Only he truly treats me like a treasure!"

She became agitated, her voice hoarse, and she suddenly grabbed Sang Huai's shoulders, pulling him into her embrace with such force it almost crushed his bones.

She held him tightly, her rough fingers caressing Sang Huai's hair, as if holding the most precious treasure in the world, her eyes confused yet filled with a morbid obsession.

"So what if he is! So what if he's an insect?!"

She roared, saliva splattering.

"He stays with me! He makes me happy! He's gentle to me! Do you know what it's like for an old woman like me, fat and ugly, to be genuinely treated like a queen?! He is my man! He is Zhu Tiantian's man! Anyone who wants to harm him will have to step over me first!"

Her wailing echoed in the room, carrying a chilling despair and madness.

Sang Huai, tightly embraced in her arms, buried in her chest, the cold, sinister indifference in the depths of his eyes was now completely undisguised.

Yet his body still trembled slightly in cooperation, like a startled fawn.

"Sister Tiantian... I'm scared..."

Sang Huai's voice was muffled by Zhu Tiantian's clothes, with a deliberate sob, but one hand was tightly wrapped around Zhu Tiantian's stout waist.

Then, he looked up at the Gemstone Association members who had been drawn by Zhu Tiantian's shouts and were peeking in from the doorway, his face showing pleading and vulnerability:

"Miss Gu wants to kill me... Sister Tiantian just wants to protect me... Everyone... We are all Sister Tiantian's most loyal brothers and sisters, aren't we? Sister Tiantian always treats everyone so well... Now someone is coming to bully Sister Tiantian... Shouldn't we..."

His voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone peeking in.

Insect-humans can alter human thoughts through special Mental Domain fluctuations, and after such a long time together, Sang Huai had already turned many people into fervent loyalists of Zhu Tiantian.

Before he finished speaking, Gu Lengyue's eyes suddenly sharpened.

As a Mental Domain ability user, she naturally sensed those Mental Domain fluctuations.

"Shut up!" Gu Lengyue's sharp rebuke cut off Sang Huai's deceptive words.

But it was too late.

Zhu Tiantian, at this moment, was completely ignited by Sang Huai's phrase "Sister Tiantian wants to protect me," awakening the monster of protective instinct within her that had been suppressed for too long, craving heroic recognition.

She suddenly lifted her sweaty, plump face, her eyes fiercely scanning the subordinates gathered at the doorway, and let out a wild boar-like roar from her throat:

"Brothers and sisters of the Gemstone Association! Listen to me! This bitch Gu Lengyue wants to harm your future son-in-law! She wants to ruin all of our good lives! Anyone who dares to touch my A Huai is going against me, Zhu Tiantian, and against the entire Gemstone Association! Today, either she dies, or our Gemstone Association is finished! Go! Kill this stinking woman!"

"Protect the son-in-law! Protect the President!" "Kill her!"

After a brief silence, several core enforcers, who had already been secretly brainwashed by Sang Huai or were desperate outlaws, rushed in with red eyes, drawing their blades and shouting!

Other members, swept up in the atmosphere, also clamored and followed.

In the blink of an eye, over a hundred Gemstone Association members surrounded Gu Lengyue, shouting to kill her.

Gu Lengyue had no worries.

She was already a sixth-tier ability user, mastering the powerful Mental Domain ability of Mental Hypnosis, and had consumed many Mental Domain fruits to enhance her own mental consciousness body.

Most of these Gemstone Association members were only second or third-tier, and even the strongest Zhu Tiantian was merely fifth-tier.

Gu Lengyue merely released a Mental Hypnosis fluctuation, and the next moment, all the agitated members who had rushed forward collapsed into sleep.

The pile of people looked like a mass grave.

Only the insect-human Sang Huai and the strongest Zhu Tiantian were not directly hypnotized by this wave.

Sang Huai had no self-awareness; all insect-humans were controlled by the mother body, and thus unaffected by Mental Domain attacks.

Zhu Tiantian, on the other hand, was purely because she had fallen into a state of extreme rage, completely frenzied, and could not be directly calmed.

Seeing all her subordinates collapse, Zhu Tiantian's eyes widened with fury, and she completely went berserk.

She shoved Sang Huai out of her arms, and her huge body swelled up, her skin instantly becoming rough, dark, and thick. Coarse, stiff black hairs grew wildly, her massive head deformed, her mouth protruding forward, and her fangs bared ferociously!

A furious, painful roar erupted, deafening.

'Ooooh—!!'

Zhu Tiantian, having completed her beast transformation into a colossal wild boar, stomped her hooves heavily on the ground, making a dull thud.

She charged with brutal, savage force, like an out-of-control heavy tank, with an aura of crushing everything in her path, lowering her head and violently ramming Gu Lengyue with her sharp tusks.

Just as she was about to hit Gu Lengyue, the latter activated her Shadow Stealth skill, her figure vanishing instantly, then reappearing in the shadow next to Sang Huai.

With the Zixiao Sword in hand, she unleashed a single strike, cleaving Sang Huai in two, from head to toe!
