Chapter 6839
I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead
Chen Ziyan clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms, but she felt no pain, because the hatred in her heart far outweighed the physical pain.
In a low, guttural voice only she could hear, she hissed through gritted teeth, "Xiao Chen! You're lucky, you lowly waiter!"
"With the old snake protecting you this time... you just wait!"
"I won't let this go. I will make you pay a heavy price for what you did today!"
"When I return, I will trample you under my feet and make you wish you were dead!"
The voice was filled with resentment and hatred, as if it were a curse coming from the depths of hell.
After saying that, she quickened her pace and disappeared at the end of the corridor.
The old snake stood silently in place, its deep, abyss-like eyes coldly watching Chen Ziyan's disheveled escape, her back like that of a stray dog.
That figure appeared increasingly frail and desolate in the long corridor, its steps hurried and frantic, as if a demon were chasing it from behind.
But the old snake's eyes remained unmoved, as calm as a bottomless, icy pool, as if Chen Ziyan was nothing more than an insignificant piece of trash in his eyes, tossed into the trash can without a second thought.
In his view, Chen Ziyan, a young girl who acted recklessly and arrogantly because of her family's power, was not worth his time and energy.
He has a lot to deal with every day, and he comes into contact with influential figures in the ancient city and even the entire underworld. Small characters like Chen Ziyan don't even have the right to enter his field of vision.
If she hadn't acted wildly here today and broken his rules, he wouldn't have even given her a second glance.
Then, Old Snake quickly straightened his well-tailored suit.
The suit was custom-made with top-quality fabric, perfectly tailored, and with smooth lines; every detail reflected his status and position.
He gently smoothed out the wrinkles on his suit, his movements elegant and composed, as if he were not the cold-hearted person who had just harshly reprimanded Chen Ziyan.
Immediately afterwards, all the coldness and impatience on his face vanished, and his face, which was originally as cold as the dead of winter, was now replaced by a solemnity and tension that was almost like that of a pilgrim.
His back was ramrod straight, like the most loyal guard, his posture upright and vigorous, like an unshakeable mountain.
He stood respectfully outside the closed private room door, head slightly bowed, eyes focused and devout, waiting quietly.
His hands hung naturally at his sides, his fingers slightly bent yet firm, as if ready to answer the call of the host in the private room at any moment.
He was waiting for Di Tianyan to arrive.
To be honest, he hadn't seen that godlike figure for a whole year.
Throughout the year, he often recalled the moments he spent with Di Tianyan in his dreams. Those memories, like brilliant stars, illuminated his path forward.
Back then, the western region was a chaotic world amidst bloodshed and turmoil. Various forces fought each other fiercely for territory and resources, resulting in widespread warfare and immense suffering.
Old Snake was also caught up in that brutal conflict. With his courage and wisdom, he carved out a place for himself amidst the clash of swords.
However, his rise aroused jealousy and hatred from other forces, who united to launch a frenzied attack on the old snake.
It was a fierce battle, and the old snake was in dire straits.
His men fell one by one, their blood staining the earth red.
He himself was also seriously wounded, his body covered in cuts and bleeding profusely. Every step he took seemed to require all his strength. He felt like a trapped beast, tightly surrounded by the enemy, with no hope in sight.
Just when he was almost in despair, Di Tianyan appeared like a god descending to earth.
Di Tianyan stood tall and imposing, his eyes cold and sharp, as if he could see through everything.
He led a group of elite men, like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the enemy's heart.
Under Di Tianyan's leadership, they swept through the enemy with unstoppable momentum, quickly defeating them decisively.
The old snake looked at the god-like man before it, its heart filled with gratitude and awe.
Di Tianyan not only saved his life, but also personally pulled him out of the mire amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Looking at the old snake's battered body and desperate eyes, he showed no disgust or hesitation, but instead reached out his broad and powerful hand and pulled the old snake up from the ground.
At that moment, the old snake felt as if he had been reborn, and a power that led him from darkness to light surged within him.
Afterwards, Di Tianyan used almost cruel methods to temper his will and strengthen his strength.
He trained the old snake in extreme environments, subjecting it to various hardships, dangers, and life-or-death tests.
Every training session was excruciating for Old Snake, but he never flinched or complained.
Because he knew that Di Tianyan was doing this for his own good, to make him stronger.
Although in the end, the supreme king only allowed him to guard this corner of the ancient city, he was willing to serve someone like Di Tianyan, even if it was just guarding a gate, and regarded it as the highest honor!
In his heart, Di Tianyan was his faith and the goal he would follow throughout his life.
He believed that as long as he followed Di Tianyan, he could create his own glory and remain invincible in this chaotic underground world.
Therefore, at this moment, he waited quietly for Di Tianyan's arrival with utmost piety and anticipation.
The old snake stood quietly outside the private room door, its once calm eyes now burning with intense flames, as if it wanted to ignite everything around it.
This flame represents excitement, anticipation, and boundless dreams for the future.
He knew better than anyone that Di Tianyan was no ordinary person, and his stage was not limited to the small pond of the Western Region!
The Western Region, though considered a major town in the underground world of the Dragon Kingdom, has its own power and rules.
But on this vast and boundless land of the Dragon Kingdom, it is but a drop in the ocean.
As for Di Tianyan, this god-like man, his gaze had already pierced through the thick fog of the western region and was directed towards a more vast and magnificent world!
It was an unknown territory full of opportunities and challenges, a battlefield where the strong competed and heroes emerged.
Di Tianyan's unfathomable ambition and power are like a giant dragon lurking in the abyss.
Normally, it lies dormant, conserving its energy and waiting for the right opportunity.
But once the time is right, it will surely take off with a world-destroying momentum, stirring up the winds and clouds of the entire Dragon Kingdom!
At that time, the martial arts world of the Dragon Kingdom will undergo an unprecedented transformation, and Di Tianyan will undoubtedly become the master of this transformation! (End of Chapter)
