It must be said, the explosive development of the Hou Clan, Fan Longhe's compromise, as well as the clan's current absolute control over Tongling City, indeed fostered some inappropriate thoughts in Hou Yuxiao's mind.
He felt that since Zhan Taiqing intended to rely on the Hou Clan, she would definitely compromise with him to some extent, as long as he didn't make any excessive demands, she probably wouldn't refuse.
It was not until he felt the slap on his body that Hou Yuxiao sobered up quite a bit. His personal strength was a joke in front of Zhan Taiqing; even the military and power of the Hou Clan could not compare to the Rakshasa Holy Sect, let alone to the Great Luo Sect before the war.
He had calculated that Zhan Taiqing would summon him, and he had prepared many demands in his mind to take advantage of the opportunity, but he had not expected that she wouldn't even give him a chance to speak; a slap and a sentence had stopped him in his tracks.
