Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Tying the Noose Tighter
"The Ge Clan of Flowing Spring City," she finished with a ragged gasp, her hips shuddering involuntarily as the crushing depth of his thrust pinned her flush against his iron thighs.
"The alliance... ahn! It is meant to inject massive liquidity back into the Cao Clan’s empty vaults. The Ge Clan has the raw capital, and the Cao Clan has the local distribution network."
She swallowed hard, her chest heaving as she barely managed to string her thoughts together under his dominant weight.
"If the marriage goes through, they will ruthlessly squeeze out every small-time merchant in the outer ring to secure their absolute monopoly."
Shen Yu narrowed his eyes, his mind immediately cataloging this new development. The chess pieces were aligning far better than he had anticipated.
By abandoning their Tier 3 research to aggressively hijack the lower-tier market, the Cao Clan had inadvertently left a massive vacuum, and a highly desperate, vulnerable Bai Ruolan right at the top.
Better yet, this upcoming political marriage gave him the perfect leverage to shatter the Cao Clan’s last hope from the inside out.
A dark, brilliant sequence of strategies began to form in his mind.
He wouldn’t just destroy their alliance with the Ge Clan, he would utterly break them financially until they were completely ruined and desperate.
And then, at their absolute lowest point, he would step onto the stage as their ultimate savior.
He would feed them a lifeline by introducing the high-quality pills of his Tang Clan into the city through the Cao Clan’s established distribution network, giving them back their hope only to tie the noose tighter.
By the time he was done, the entire Cao Clan would be entirely dependent on him, seamlessly absorbed under his shadow without even realizing they had become his puppets.
"Fascinating," Shen Yu murmured, a low, predatory vibration rattling in his chest that sent a direct jolt of intense pleasure straight up her spine.
"And when is this young master of the Ge Clan expected to arrive in Crimson Iron City to finalize the contract?"
"Within... within three days," she whimpered, her hands slipping against his wet shoulders as her strength began to fail under his suffocating presence.
"He is traveling with a private merchant caravan under heavy guard. The Cao Clan is already preparing a grand welcoming banquet at their main estate."
"Three days. More than enough time."
Shen Yu’s lips curled into a cold, merciless smirk.
He suddenly gripped her thighs, pulling them even wider until they were practically locked behind his waist, and began to move with a brutal, relentless rhythm.
The water in the pool splashed violently against the stone edges, mirroring the chaotic, wet sounds echoing through the private bath chamber.
"Master Mo... ah! Ah! More... give it to me!" she screamed, her black eyes rolling back into her head as his savage pace completely tore away her remaining thoughts of her distant husband, her duties, and the network.
After a final, thunderous burst that left her womb completely flooded with his hot, thick seed, Shen Yu casually lifted her off his lap and tossed her on the floor.
She lay there panting, her fair skin heavily flushed, fluid leaking down her thighs as she stared up at him with a mixture of profound fear and absolute submission.
Shen Yu stepped out of the water, the moisture instantly evaporating from his slender, pale body as he circulated his Qi.
He pulled on a fresh set of dark green robes, letting his long green hair fall loosely over his shoulders.
"You’ve done well," he said, throwing a small velvet pouch containing fifty low-grade spiritual stones onto her trembling, wet abdomen.
"Keep your mouth shut about my questions. If a single whisper leaves this room to your superiors, or your husband, I will ensure Death visits you in a way you won’t live to regret."
"Y-Yes, Senior Mo... this servant understands," she choked out, clutching the heavy pouch tightly against her chest as she bowed her head directly onto the cold, wet tiles of the floor.
Looking down at her thoroughly conquered state, Shen Yu smirked darkly.
He reached down, his soft fingers sliding effortlessly back between her fair thighs and pushing deep inside her dripping pussy.
When he pulled his hand out, his fingers were completely coated in a thick mixture of his own fresh cum and her slick juices.
Without a word, he pressed those coated fingers straight against her lips, forcing them into her mouth. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Instead of pulling away, she looked up at him with a gaze of absolute submission, sucking lazily at his fingers with genuine delight.
"Keep yourself clean," he murmured, watching her clean every drop off his skin. "I might just visit you every now and then."
A bright, compliant smile broke across her flushed face at his promise.
Once his fingers were licked completely clean, he pulled them from her mouth and delivered a sharp, stinging slap across her heavy, bruised boobs.
Smack!
"Mhmmmmmm..."
Leaving the utterly broken receptionist behind to recover, Shen Yu turned and stepped out of the Royal Immortal Court, adjusting his robes as he went.
He walked back out into the bustling morning streets of Crimson Iron City, the crisp early air carrying the heavy, familiar scent of burning coal and molten metal.
His path forward was now crystal clear.
The Cao Clan was desperately trying to monopolize the low-tier pill market to save themselves from bankruptcy, completely oblivious to the fact that Bai Ruolan was already on the very verge of an alchemical breakthrough thanks to his prior guidance.
It was the perfect storm.
By handing the blue-haired alchemist the final piece of the puzzle and this news, he would give the Golden Cauldron Merchant Union the ultimate weapon to flood the market with a flawless Tier 3 pill, utterly crushing the Cao Clan’s desperate plans before they could even begin.
With his target locked, Shen Yu glided seamlessly through the waking crowds.
He completely ignored the chaotic din of the commercial district, his eyes fixed on the horizon as he made his way back toward the imposing obsidian fortress of the Golden Cauldron Merchant Union.
