Zi Ji Gloats

At the entrance to Dan Heng's Small Courtyard.

Dai Mubai lay sprawled at the doorway like a dead dog.

His luxurious white formal attire was now smeared with dirt and sweat, while his lion-like golden hair clung to his scalp.

He had unleashed his full strength, yet he still could not even catch the corner of Zhu Zhuqing's clothes.

Zhu Zhuqing had not even summoned her martial soul.

Meanwhile, he had exhausted all his strength and, in his fury, failed to notice that he had reached his physical limit.

By the time he came to his senses, the world was spinning and he was already on the ground.

The contempt on Zhu Zhuqing's face made his vision go black with rage.

Even now, he could not understand why this girl's speed was so fast.

She looked two or three years younger than him, and her Soul Power could not possibly surpass his, yet her speed and movement techniques completely crushed his.

"You..."

Dai Mubai panted heavily, not knowing whether to curse Zhu Zhuqing or blame Zi Ji.

After all, he was the one who had been humiliated the most!

If his identity were exposed and such an embarrassing incident spread, the Star Luo Royal Family might even revoke his qualifications to compete.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Dai Mubai with disdain, feeling sick.

The women of the Zhu Family admired strength. If Dai Mubai truly had ability, she would not care even if he had affairs with a thousand, or ten thousand, women.

But if he was a piece of trash himself and still went around provoking women, then she would not consider him worthy of her attention at all.

Then, recalling her teacher's elegant, transcendent, immortal-like bearing, she found Dai Mubai even more revolting. "Just thinking that someone like you... you'd be better off dead!"

It was rare for Zhu Zhuqing to say so much, but in truth, she was saying it to herself.

She would never give herself to a man like this in the future!

Dai Mubai nearly died of rage. He grunted and struggled to get up, only to collapse again in the end.

He was clearly a genius, alright?!

How had he become someone better off dead in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes?

It was not that he was weak; Zhu Zhuqing's speed and movement techniques were simply too monstrous, right?!

He shot Zhu Zhuqing a venomous look. No matter how beautiful her face or how alluring her figure was, he no longer felt the slightest fondness for her.

"Zi Ji... I'm already in such a state. If Brother-in-law and Elder Sister see me, they'll blame you, won't they?"

Dai Mubai said with a dry laugh, his voice weak.

Zi Ji leaned against the wooden door and frowned at his words.

Her lord... definitely would not care about Dai Mubai.

But what would Old Pervert's reaction be?

No, why was she worrying about what Old Pervert thought?

Zi Ji shook her head repeatedly and sneered, "You're such a weakling that you can't even catch a little girl, and you still want to enter this door? What a dream!"

"..." Dai Mubai's face darkened.

Just then, a set of hurried footsteps approached.

All three of them looked over and saw Gu Yuena hurrying back, her expression calm. Because she was moving too quickly, no one noticed the change in Gu Yuena's mood.

"Elder Sister... may I, may I come in for a visit?"

Dai Mubai forced out a smile and took the initiative.

Gu Yuena stopped and glanced at Dai Mubai.

She immediately recalled Zhu Zhuqing's assessment of him and snorted coldly. "Scumbags should all die!"

She stomped her foot, and a fierce wind suddenly rose.

It swept Dai Mubai into the air, spun him around several times, then flung him into the distance.

After tracing an arc through the air, he vanished onto some unknown street.

If he had been an ordinary person, that throw would most likely have killed him.

Though Dai Mubai's physique was stronger, he definitely would not have escaped unscathed!

Seeing this, Zi Ji immediately realized that her lord was very angry!

She had gone out for a while, so who had made her angry?

Zi Ji's eyes brightened. Sensing an opportunity, she hurriedly said, "My lo—Elder Sister! Who made you angry? I'll help you take fierce revenge on him!"

Zi Ji thought that if she received her lord's approval, she could use her status as a "Sister-in-law" to keep picking fights.

At the thought of doing that, she could barely stop herself from wagging her tail!

Old Pervert had acted like such a good person. She would let him know what it meant for the kind to be bullied by dragons!

Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes and looked at Zi Ji.

Her gaze was calm and devoid of emotion.

Then she walked straight toward Zi Ji.

A sudden unease rose in Zi Ji's heart. Watching Gu Yuena approach expressionlessly, she forced a smile onto her face. "Elder Sister... Elder Sister, what's wrong?"

"Don't move," Gu Yuena said flatly.

"..." Zi Ji froze in place, not daring to move.

She watched Gu Yuena approach her with her own eyes, unable to sense the slightest emotion from her.

Her pupils dilated as Gu Yuena arrived in a gust of wind.

Gu Yuena grabbed Zi Ji's cheeks and pulled hard with both hands, stretching her skin to nearly twice its original width. Her fair cheeks quickly turned red.

Then she said into Zi Ji's ear, "Don't use Soul Power to heal yourself."

"..."

Zi Ji's heart pounded wildly in fright. Her lord was far too terrifying when expressionless!

It felt as if she were truly about to die, swallowed by immense darkness.

Only after Gu Yuena left did the intense pain snap her out of it.

There was only one thought in her mind: It's all that Old Pervert's fault...!

Dan Heng still did not return home until after work.

For some reason, he was worried about Gu Yuena, yet he did not break from habit. It was like how he was accustomed to reading; even if he did not truly enjoy it, he still read often.

In the courtyard, Zi Ji was hiding by the doorway, peering inside furtively.

Zhu Zhuqing was arranging ingredients in the kitchen.

Hearing him return, Zi Ji turned around, and anger immediately appeared on her face.

Her gorgeous, seductive face now had somewhat red, baby-fat cheeks.

It unexpectedly made her look a little adorably silly.

Zi Ji rushed furiously in front of Dan Heng.

She covered her cheeks. The place where Gu Yuena had pinched her still burned with pain.

And all of this was Dan Heng's fault!

If Dan Heng had not angered her lord, how could she have been dragged into it?

"Brother-in-law! What exactly did you do?!"

Zi Ji grabbed Dan Heng by the collar as soon as she came up to him, her large eyes widened round. She threatened him in a low voice, glaring at his face with ill intent.

If she could, she wanted Dan Heng to experience the suffering she had endured!

Dan Heng calmly looked at Zi Ji. This Sister-in-law was truly angry.

Her hostility toward him was not even much weaker than Blade's.

Of course, she was far weaker than Blade, so she posed no threat whatsoever... though Blade would not endanger his life either.

Dan Heng shook his head, brushed Zi Ji's hand away, and walked into the room.

Perhaps he should... apologize to Gu Yuena?

That should restore their peaceful life, right?

Or should he simply let things take their course and allow their marriage to naturally fall apart?

Zi Ji followed beside him. Seeing that Dan Heng ignored her, she grew even angrier and threatened in a low voice, "Brother-in-law! Don't think I don't dare teach you a lesson!"

"I'm very formidable. If you anger me, you'll definitely regret acting like this!"

Zi Ji gritted her teeth, while a gleeful look flashed through her eyes.

Once Old Pervert saw her lord, he would probably suffer too, right?

She had to watch it happen with her own eyes!
