On the observation deck of the Dong family in Chang'an City, a statuesque woman stood with her hands clasped behind her back, overlooking the entire city… A summer breeze swept over her luxurious platinum phoenix-embroidered robes, ruffling the hem and stirring her long, flowing black hair…
Even from behind, her matchless elegance radiated like an unrivaled blossom!
"Son-in-law?"
A trace of mockery appeared at the corner of her mouth… She suddenly turned, and the bright sunlight fell upon her, illuminating her in an indescribable splendor.
The scene zoomed in… A breathtakingly beautiful face filled the frame. Her elegant eyebrows radiated nobility and strength, her piercing gaze exuded a chill, as though it held the frosty desolation of a snowy mountain peak… Her exquisite nose conveyed grace and refinement, and her cherry blossom lips, like rose petals, completed a face that could leave one breathless.
The entire world seemed like a mere backdrop to her beauty—unparalleled, striking, astonishing. This was the immediate impression she left.
This woman was none other than the eldest princess of the Dong family, Livia Dong.
"Reporting to the Eldest Princess, the Patriarch indeed announced in front of all the citizens of Luoyang and His Majesty that the mysterious young man, Jason Ji, has become the Dong family's Imperial Son-in-law, making him your..."
At this point, the beautiful attendant behind Livia Dong, dressed in a tight-fitting black outfit that highlighted her stunning figure, lowered her head, not daring to continue.
"…making him my husband, correct?"
The mocking smirk on Livia's lips deepened.
The attendant quickly bowed her head, trembling slightly, afraid to respond in any way…
"Hmph!"
Seeing the attendant's reaction, Livia's icy face showed a hint of impatience.
"Shadow, you are the queen of Chang'an's underworld forces, trained by me personally. Why are you acting like a timid little girl now?"
"Was this the way I taught you from a young age?"
Hearing her words, Shadow's body quivered slightly. She looked up, meeting Livia Dong's cold gaze, and for some reason, her cheeks turned red as she stammered,
"No… It's just… I believe no one in this world is worthy of you, my lady… So the word 'husband' is difficult for me to utter."
If Jason Ji were here, he wouldn't be surprised by Shadow's bashfulness before Livia Dong. After all, Jason understood Livia Dong's beauty and allure were so potent they transcended gender.
"I see…"
Livia nodded, releasing Shadow's chin. She turned away, hands clasped behind her, gazing in the direction of distant Luoyang, allowing the winds from the city far away to ruffle her robes.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly spoke,
"Go to the Heaven's Kill Pavilion and find their Deputy Leader, Tom White..."
"Have him kill Jason Ji beneath the city walls of Chang'an."
Shadow nodded without hesitation, disappearing into the shadows without a second thought... She never questioned any decision made by Livia Dong.
Meanwhile, on the martial stage in Luoyang City…
The cry of "Imperial Son-in-law" from three thousand Dong family Imperial Guards resounded deafeningly across the area…
Truthfully, Jason Ji felt his face heat up a bit from the title… After all, at twenty years old, it was his first time being called "Imperial Son-in-law" by so many people.
The tens of thousands of citizens of Luoyang, witnessing the conclusion of the martial contest and hearing the official proclamation of the Imperial Son-in-law, were brimming with excitement. After a century, they had finally witnessed history being made…
They gazed at Jason with admiration and envy. Though he was set to marry the notorious Livia Dong—known across Sacred Tang as a troublemaker—who would genuinely care about that when becoming the Imperial Son-in-law of Sacred Tang's most prominent military family?
This could only be called a meteoric rise!
"Hmph! Don't get so happy just yet."
Lucia Dong shot Jason a venomous glare… Today had been an unforgettable day for her…
First, she encountered this man who defied her understanding, then he stole her first kiss, and before she knew it, he had become her brother-in-law!
Jason simply shrugged, indifferent to Lucia's threat… His strength already surpassed hers; if she dared cause trouble, he'd show her what it meant to be a real man! He'd make her understand that men are not to be trifled with!
"Duke Dong, I'll take my leave."
Jason bowed slightly to Dong Raymond Dong and spoke in a solemn tone.
"Go ahead, kid."
Dong Raymond Dong waved him off, but suddenly his face grew serious as he reminded Jason,
"Just don't think about running off. Even though you're strong and my three thousand guards may not be able to do much to you,"
"remember that I command thirty thousand elite Dong family Iron Guards. Don't make me lead an army to capture you myself."
"Haha!"
Jason chuckled, scratching his head. Duke Dong Raymond Dong was indeed worthy of his title as the Protector General of the Sacred Tang Empire! It was no wonder Emperor Adrian Long always kept the Dong family in check.
After all, his soon-to-be father-in-law commanded an army of thirty thousand elite, iron-armored soldiers loyal only to him. What emperor wouldn't be cautious?
Finally, Jason gave Lucia Dong one last look. After confirming she would never forgive him, he left Luoyang City with satisfaction, striding off with Duke Dong's three thousand elite guards and under the envious gaze of countless citizens of Luoyang…
He headed towards the Nether Abyss; a place famed throughout the Sacred Tang Empire.
