Li Yu: Are You Sure You Only Need a Few Slaps?

Li Yu: Are You Sure You Only Need a Few Slaps?

"Bitch!"

While Li Yu was lost in thought, Ning Rongrong began cursing outright.

Qian Renxue immediately released her pressure upon Ning Rongrong.

Her eyes were full of warning. "I brought you here only because Yu'er had promised you before, and out of consideration for Uncle Ning. Don't push your luck!"

"She is a bitch to begin with!"

Ning Rongrong had been spoiled rotten. Even under Qian Renxue's suppression, she stubbornly glared at Li Yu. "If this bitch hadn't deliberately led us on, how could my teammates and I have made such fools of ourselves?

Third Brother wouldn't have lost such a precious External Soul Bone because of it!

This bitch had that kind of strength, yet she deliberately disguised herself. Wasn't it just to trick Third Brother into making that bet?

Despicable! Hateful!

Give Third Brother's Eight Spider Lances back!"

Ning Rongrong screamed hysterically.

Qian Renxue frowned several times and wanted to forcibly interrupt her, but Li Yu stopped her each time with a look.

"Are you done?"

Li Yu was completely unconcerned, as though she were even hoping Ning Rongrong would curse a while longer.

Ning Rongrong had not expected such a reaction from Li Yu. After being stunned for a moment, she said, "This won't end here!

Third Brother will definitely find you again. When that happens, just wait and cry!

Of course, if you apologize to my teammates and me, then return Third Brother's Eight Spider Lances to him, I can persuade Third Brother to let bygones be bygones!"

"Mm-hm. And then?"

Li Yu nodded, almost as if she were about to applaud Ning Rongrong.

It was hard to imagine words like that coming from an outstanding disciple of the Upper Three Sects.

Still, wasn't that a form of "clear thinking"?

At least she knew Li Yu should apologize and return the Soul Bone.

"And then..."

Ning Rongrong froze slightly. She had said such outrageous things, yet Li Yu could still accept them?

Instinctively, she assumed Li Yu feared the forces behind her and was compromising.

And it seemed her demands had not yet reached Li Yu's limit!

Thus.

Ning Rongrong puffed out her chest and declared magnanimously, "Finally, although this young lady has an extraordinary background and is the young miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, beloved by Sword Grandfather and Bone Grandfather, I will not become arrogant because of their favor, much less bully others with my status.

So, let me slap you a few times, and this matter will be over!"

After speaking, Ning Rongrong raised her chin at Li Yu, who stood a head taller than her, her face full of smug pride.

Her expression seemed to say: You should be grateful for this young miss's great kindness!

Click!

"You!"

Under Li Yu's instruction, Qian Renxue had been restraining herself all along. She had even long since withdrawn the Soul Power pressure suppressing Ning Rongrong.

But as Ning Rongrong's words became increasingly excessive, she could no longer hold herself back.

She was nothing but the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Did she really think she possessed an Invincible Golden Body?

If she angered me, let's see how long you could stay alive!

Killing intent had already risen in Qian Renxue's heart.

Ning Rongrong seemed to sense the danger as well. Her neck shrank back, and she looked fearfully toward Qian Renxue.

"Husband!"

At that moment, Li Yu's voice rang out.

That single word, "Husband," completely dispersed Qian Renxue's anger.

She looked at Li Yu with a touch of grievance, like a young wife who had been wronged.

Yet Li Yu was clearly the one who had just been insulted.

Li Yu could not help finding it amusing. She walked over, hooked her arm around Qian Renxue's, and slowly shook her head. "It's fine!"

Then, her gaze fell upon Ning Rongrong. "Are you sure that as long as you slap me a few times, this matter will be over?"

"Yes. This young miss has always kept her word!"

The moment Ning Rongrong saw Li Yu speak, her confidence immediately returned. Her retracted neck straightened again, and her nearly flat chest puffed out as well.

Are you a turtle?

Li Yu chuckled inwardly, but her face showed nothing as she nodded seriously. "Fine!"

"Yu'er!"

Qian Renxue's expression immediately changed. She hurriedly clasped Li Yu's hand tightly in her own.

"It's fine!"

Li Yu shook her head, making her resolve clear.

Qian Renxue's eyes immediately welled up with tears, but under Li Yu's insistence, she still let go.

Ning Rongrong became even more smug, practically itching to plant her hands on her hips and announce it to the whole world.

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!

The next moment.

Four slaps rang out, and Qian Renxue stared blankly.

Li Yu withdrew her hand and even lifted it to her mouth to blow on it.

Then she said casually, "You just wanted a few hard slaps. Did you really need to go to such lengths preparing those 'acceptance remarks'?"

After a pause, she added, "Next time you have such a need, remember to say so directly. Our time as a married couple is very precious!"

"Y-you..."

Ning Rongrong covered the pancake-like welts on her face as tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks.

She stared at Li Yu in utter disbelief, yet she could not utter a complete sentence.

How dare Li Yu do this!

Given her status, Li Yu actually dared to hit her—and hit her so hard?

Was she not afraid Sword Grandfather and Bone Grandfather would seek justice for her?

Besides, she had already made the stakes so clear. Did Li Yu truly feel no fear at all?

Even if you, Li Yu, were Xue Qinghe's imperial consort, would Xue Qinghe really protect you after you offended the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

Ning Rongrong squeezed the last remnants of thought from her brain, but she simply could not figure out why Li Yu dared to act this way.

In truth.

Not only her—even Qian Renxue was stunned at this moment.

Qian Renxue had not experienced much of Li Yu's way of doing things.

Even during the battle seven days ago, she had only watched the process. As for how the incident had begun, she had merely heard about it afterward.

As for everything else, it had mostly been intimate moments between Li Yu and herself.

Thus, this was truly the first time Qian Renxue had come to understand Li Yu's style.

Decisive, ruthless, and intelligent!

That was Qian Renxue's assessment.

But immediately afterward, she became troubled again.

Ning Rongrong had been perfectly fine when she was brought here. If she were sent back with two pancake-like welts on her face, it would probably be difficult to explain!

Naturally, Li Yu noticed the troubled look in Qian Renxue's eyes.

She smiled. "It's fine."

Then she reached toward Ning Rongrong again.

"W-what are you doing!"

Ning Rongrong immediately shrank her neck and hurriedly backed away, afraid Li Yu would treat her to a few more hard slaps.

"Don't push your luck!"

Li Yu's gaze turned sharp. Ning Rongrong's body immediately froze, obedient like a little kitten.

The way her body continued trembling shattered that comparison.

Then, the next moment.

Two emerald-green Willow Branches appeared out of thin air with a gesture from Li Yu, then settled against Ning Rongrong's face.

Green energy rippled across both sides of Ning Rongrong's cheeks, healing her injuries.

A moment later, the pancake-like welts on Ning Rongrong's face had shrunk by several sizes.

"This..."

Qian Renxue watched the scene in surprise. Wood Element Power could do this too?

According to the information Li Yu had told her, the Fourth Soul Ring had granted Wood Elemental Control.

Since the Life Tree had previously taken the form of a Willow Tree, Qian Renxue had firmly believed it.

Yet Li Yu frowned, apparently dissatisfied with this result.

After thinking briefly, she clenched her hand. Light flickered faintly in her palm, and then a drop of emerald-green liquid appeared.

This was the product born from the fusion and evolution of the water and life elements through the Elemental Cube!
