In the upper domain, inside the grand palace, a beautiful female was slowly walking through the golden hallways with her chin slightly lifted proudly.
Her long black dress hugged every curve of her body perfectly, while the high slit at her thigh revealed her long, slender legs with every graceful step she took.
Her wavy hair cascaded down her back like silk, and the faint smile on her lips carried both charm and arrogance.
Every male servant and beastman she passed unconsciously slowed their breathing while their eyes followed her figure.
Some lowered their heads respectfully, while others secretly stole glances at her elegant beauty. Seeing those gazes only made the female’s confidence rise even more.
She already knew her beauty could make countless beastmen lose their minds.
But in her eyes, those men were nothing more than admirers who could only look from afar.
None of them were worthy enough to truly stand beside her.
A faint smile curved her red lips as she lazily played with a strand of hair before turning toward the tall man walking beside her.
"Brother Yanze," she called sweetly, her voice soft and charming. "Did the Teng Clan finally send any news?"
The tall man beside her wore dark robes embroidered with a leopard pattern, making his cold and noble appearance even more intimidating. His sharp eyes softened immediately when they landed on her face.
This man was named Chu Yanze.
And the beautiful female beside him was Chu Xiruo, whom everyone affectionately called Cece.
Chu Yanze gently brushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear before speaking in a calm voice.
"Not yet, Cece. The Teng Clan still claims they are searching for the young heir."
The smile on Chu Xiruo’s face instantly faded.
Her brows furrowed slightly as annoyance flashed across her beautiful eyes.
"Still no news?" she said coldly. "What exactly are they doing? They can’t even find one person?"
Suddenly, she stopped walking completely.
A dangerous thought appeared in her mind.
"Brother Yanze..." she said slowly, narrowing her eyes. "Do you think the Teng Clan is deliberately hiding him from me?"
Chu Yanze’s expression immediately darkened.
"How could they dare?" he said coldly before pulling her closer by the waist.
"Our Cece is the most beautiful female in the upper domain. Countless men dream of gaining even one glance from you. The Teng Clan would never dare play with your feelings."
His fingers gently stroked her cheek while his gaze became colder.
"And even if they truly dared..." he said softly, "I would personally destroy their entire clan."
Chu Xiruo immediately smiled again, clearly pleased by his words.
"That’s more like it," she said proudly.
In truth, she had never cared much about the Teng Clan itself.
The once-glorious clan had already declined long ago.
If not for their mysterious young heir, she would never even spare them a glance.
But the moment she had once seen that man from afar during a gathering years ago, she could never forget him.
That cold and untouchable appearance...
That heaven-defying aura...
Even now, just thinking about him made her heart beat quicken slightly.
If she could truly tame such a man and make him kneel willingly beside her, her status in the upper domain would rise even higher.
