Teach Chu Fan a Lesson!

"Nana, from now on, you will study under Chu Fan. Don't disappoint me," Bibi Dong instructed.

Hu Liena looked at Chu Fan, finding it difficult to accept the fact that she had lost. Her defeat meant that Chu Fan would become her teacher.

Brat, if you want to be my teacher, let's see if you have the life for it. Hu Liena thought coldly, filled with resentment.

Chrysanthemum Pass understood Bibi Dong best. He knew that Bibi Dong doted on Hu Liena and usually took great care of her. He stepped forward as well, threatening, "Brat, take good care of Nana. If I find out you bullied her, you won't get away with it."

Chrysanthemum Pass, threatening me? If I weren't forbidden from revealing my identity, I could smash you to pieces with one hand.

Elder Chrysanthemum usually took great care of her as well. In Hu Liena's heart, Chrysanthemum Pass was one of her benefactors. She had to thank Elder Chrysanthemum's guidance for the progress she had made today.

Hearing Chu Fan look down on Elder Chrysanthemum, she naturally could not endure it and cursed angrily in her heart. Pah, give him an inch and he takes a mile. He only barely beat me, yet he dares look down on an elder. Just wait. If you dare provoke me, you'll pay for it.

Hu Liena glared at Chu Fan, puffed out her cheeks, then turned and walked out of the hall.

This little fox—was it really that hard for her to call me Master?

Pah, you want me to call you Master and sincerely acknowledge you? Dream on. My master must be a powerhouse of an entire generation, someone like the Pope.

Night fell.

The night was silent.

Inside a Spirit Hall pavilion, Hu Liena sat in anger. Whenever she thought of losing to Chu Fan today, she wanted nothing more than to skin him alive. She gave orders to her subordinates.

"Tomorrow, stay sharp and act when the opportunity arises. Teach Chu Fan a proper lesson."

Below Hu Liena, seven or eight guards knelt on one knee. After hearing her, they immediately replied, "Yes!" Then they vanished into the darkness.

A cold smile curled across Hu Liena's lips. "Hmph, Chu Fan, just watch how this young lady deals with you!"

Meanwhile, amid the ruins of a neighborhood in the city.

The moonlight was sly.

Seven or eight people gathered together, seemingly plotting something.

The Soul Ancestor at their head spoke. "Brothers, just because we refused to submit, Spirit Hall made us targets for pursuit. Spirit Hall is so cruel. We can no longer allow ourselves to be slaughtered."

"Big Brother, Spirit Hall is so enormous now. It isn't something the few of us can overthrow," said the bearded Soul Elder beside the leader.

"Third Brother, you're too timid. I say we kill our way in. Kill one and we break even; kill two and we profit. Kill as many as we can. I can't stand living so miserably anymore."

"Second Brother, don't be impulsive. We must think this through carefully. Charging in now would be like an egg striking a stone. We definitely won't get away with it."

"Big Brother, just tell us what to do. We'll listen to you."

"That's right, we'll listen to Big Brother."

At once, the previously clamorous scene fell utterly silent. Everyone waited for the leader to speak.

We are few and weak. We need to seize Spirit Hall's weak point before we have any leverage to negotiate. As long as we hold one of their important people, we won't have to worry about them refusing to listen.

The group grew excited and repeatedly cheered. "Big Brother is Big Brother indeed. Have you decided who to target?"

"Alas!" The Soul Ancestor at the head sighed. "Originally, I planned to target Bibi Dong's daughter. As long as her daughter was in our hands, we wouldn't have to fear Bibi Dong refusing to listen."

"Unfortunately, her daughter seems to have disappeared and isn't in Spirit City."

"Alas!"

Just as everyone grew disappointed, the leader added, "However, we can capture someone else—Bibi Dong's disciple, Hu Liena."

As he spoke, the leader took out a portrait of Hu Liena and spread it out before everyone.

"Hu Liena? She's just a child. Will she be useful?" everyone asked.

"I've investigated. Bibi Dong dotes most on this disciple of hers. As long as we capture her, Bibi Dong will surely be restrained by fear."

"Do you remember her? Stay alert these next few days. Keep a close watch on her," the leader ordered.

At once, everyone answered in unison, "Yes!" Then they disappeared into the night.

The next day, Hu Liena arrived at Chu Fan's residence early in the morning.

"Master, Master, accompany me around Spirit City tomorrow. Spirit City has so much delicious food and so many fun things. I'll treat Master to something," Hu Liena said with a faint smile.

Chu Fan immediately stared at Hu Liena, who was completely different from yesterday, his heart filled with shock.

Did this little girl take the wrong medicine? Her attitude is actually this good.

Still, ever since coming to Spirit Hall, he had not yet explored Spirit City.

It would be nice to take her around!

Heh, enjoy yourself for now. You'll suffer soon enough. Hu Liena thought to herself, smiling brightly on the surface.

"Looks like you've thought it through. Follow your master from now on, and I guarantee you'll improve by leaps and bounds." Chu Fan raised his head slightly and said proudly.

"Let's go. Show your master around Spirit City."

Hu Liena's scheme had succeeded. A strange curve rose on her lips as she wore a sly grin.

The two arrived in Spirit City. Chu Fan was astonished to see a broad road stretching from south to north, with all kinds of novel goods displayed on both sides. Snacks and fast food filled the stalls in dazzling variety, covering every aspect of food, clothing, housing, and travel. The streets were packed with people, all picking out the things they liked.

Hu Liena walked to a small stall selling cotton candy. "Boss, one stick of cotton candy."

"Coming right up, miss. Two copper soul coins a stick."

After paying, Hu Liena began eating it in big mouthfuls.

Hu Liena did not notice that after she left, the vendor pushed his cart down the street and gradually disappeared into the crowd.

"Master, I'm going ahead to buy something. I'll be right back." Without waiting for Chu Fan's agreement, Hu Liena skipped ahead.

Watching Hu Liena vanish into the crowd ahead, Chu Fan sighed helplessly and said with a bitter smile, "This little girl really is troublesome. As expected, I can't go shopping with girls."

I finally shook you off. Now you're in for it. Hu Liena wore a smug expression. Her plan was proceeding smoothly according to her wishes, and she could not help feeling proud of her own cleverness.

Hu Liena crouched at the corner of a wall, watching Chu Fan as she ordered her subordinates, "When he comes over later, teach him a proper lesson."

"This young lady is leaving first. Chu Fan, you're still too green to fight me." Hu Liena smugly walked into the alley, preparing to find a good spot to watch Chu Fan get beaten.

Suddenly, Hu Liena felt a fierce blow strike her back. Her vision went black, and she fell unconscious.

"We got her. Retreat!"

After a long while, Chu Fan sensed that something was wrong. "Strange, why hasn't this little girl returned after so long?"

Chu Fan walked forward along the street and entered the alley.

Several Soul Elders immediately emerged from all sides and surrounded Chu Fan.

Seeing this, Chu Fan was full of confusion. Aren't these all Spirit Hall guards?

Could this little girl be planning to use these guards against me?

This little girl really is wicked.
