Transmigrated into a Regret-Flow Story? Starting with a Hundred Pulls—Pure Satisfaction!

[So it really exists…]After hearing the system's words, Tang Qingmo sighed with emotion.

Earlier, when Tang Jianren demanded that Tang Qingmo attend the Liu family's banquet, the system had already told him that the Liu family head was planning a large-scale "event" during the banquet that night!

It was to display and showcase an exotic beast that had been acquired through some unknown trade channel!

Speaking of exotic beasts—in the current era of spiritual energy revival and the flourishing of martial cultivation—the massive surge of spiritual energy had caused distortions in space and land, connecting to a mysterious place: the Otherworld.

The Otherworld was rich in resources, and its boundless spiritual energy attracted countless martial artists to venture there.

However, it didn't take long for them to realize that the Otherworld was not a paradise. It was filled with large numbers of ferocious and powerful mutated monsters—exotic beasts!

Exotic beasts were omnivorous creatures with no intelligence, yet they harbored an intense craving for human flesh and blood!

Just as humans could enter the Otherworld through spiritual passages, exotic beasts could also invade the human world!

Therefore, to protect the nation and its citizens from harm, the government and martial arts academies regularly dispatched powerful martial artists to suppress threats and maintain defenses.

Back then, the dean who had adopted the original host frequently had to go to the borders of Huaxia, fighting for the country and its people.

But now, the system was saying that there was the aura of an exotic beast within this mansion?

Tang Qingmo lifted his head and looked at the Liu family estate before him.

Nowadays, for the safety of civilians, the trading of exotic beasts required approval from the government and the Martial Arts Association.

Yet some prestigious families, in order to flaunt their wealth or power and attract more business partnerships, turned dangerous and ferocious exotic beasts into "tools" for showing off and consolidating influence!

It could only be said… this was courting death!

"Qingmo! Qingmo!!"

Just as Tang Qingmo was deep in thought, Tang Jianren loudly called out to him.

"What is it?"

"I'll take you inside now. Tonight, besides the Liu family head and Ruyin, we may also see members of the Zhou family. You'd better behave yourself—don't embarrass us!"

The Zhou family was the one that the Liu family head's elder sister had married into, and it was also one of the elite families in Demon City.

However, compared to the Tang and Liu families, the Zhou family's influence was slightly weaker.

Tang Qingmo chuckled softly. "For the Tang family head to say that—if people treat each other with mutual respect, then naturally no problems will arise."

"..."

Was he implying that as long as the Liu and Zhou families treated him with respect, he would behave properly?

This was such a basic principle, yet Tang Jianren felt an inexplicable sense of unease…

The two were led by the butler into a room. Before the banquet officially began, they saw several people inside chatting and laughing.

One of them was Liu Ruyin's father, Liu Xueye.

Standing beside him was a middle-aged woman who looked about the same age—she was likely his elder sister, Madam Zhou.

Meanwhile, Liu Ruyin was seated in the room chatting with two young men and women. The moment she saw Tang Qingmo, an instant burst of hatred and killing intent flashed across her face!

"Brother Tang, you've arrived!" Liu Xueye was extremely enthusiastic upon seeing the two from the Tang family, striding quickly toward Tang Jianren.

He glanced at Tang Qingmo beside him and pretended to be cordial as he patted his shoulder. "Isn't this Qingmo? It's been a while—you've grown quite a bit taller!"

Liu Xueye was good at putting on appearances.

No matter how much he disliked Tang Qingmo in his heart, he would always act polite in front of others.

So Tang Qingmo smiled and returned the courtesy. "Good evening, Family Head Liu. You look just as vigorous and distinguished as ever."

"Hahaha! That silver tongue of yours—truly sweet as honey!"

"Xueye, who's arrived?" the middle-aged woman who had been chatting with Liu Xueye asked curiously.

"Ah! Let me introduce them!" Liu Xueye immediately led Tang Jianren and Tang Qingmo further into the room. "This is my elder sister, Liu Ni—she's the matriarch of the Zhou family."

"Elder Sister, these are members of the Tang family. This is Tang Jianren, the Tang family head, and this is Tang Qingmo—Ruyin's fiancé."

"Madam Zhou, hello." Tang Qingmo smiled and extended his hand, taking the initiative to greet her.

"So you're Qingmo—what a handsome young man." Madam Zhou held his hand warmly and gave it a gentle pat, then looked toward Tang Jianren beside him. "Family Head Tang, thank you for attending our banquet today."

"Madam Zhou, you're too kind…" Tang Jianren replied with a smile.
