Being Too Much of a Rogue

Disciples of the Liu Clan were forbidden from taking Soul Forging Pills during competitions and sparring. Those were life-saving pills meant for real battles, not to be wasted in the slightest.

Of course, there had been people before who, unable to swallow their anger after Liu Ding "acted like a rogue" toward them, had taken Soul Forging Pills to get revenge. But they were later harshly punished by the Family Disciplinary Hall. The loss outweighed the gain, and they regretted it bitterly.

Although Liu Ding was no longer held in high regard, his monstrous path of enduring beatings and rising against the odds made his grandfather, Liu Yandong, the clan patriarch, feel immensely proud. He showed no mercy when punishing any clan disciple who used unfair means against Liu Ding.

What could they do? That little rogue had a powerful grandfather backing him.

When they noticed Liu Tao secretly using a Black Tortoise Soul Pill, the boys eagerly anticipated revenge, but they were also worried for her.

Liu Ji swept his gaze over everyone and said with a dark expression, "Everyone here is a witness. This is a fair duel."

"Yes, yes, yes, we're all witnesses. This is a fair duel." The boys and girls nodded repeatedly, understanding what their Chicken Bro meant between the lines.

After taking the Black Tortoise Soul Pill, Liu Tao's aura was indeed completely different. Her Dragon Gait was a notch faster than before. Before Liu Ding could react, she had already closed in. With a sweep of her jade-like arm, she thrust out a claw from the Tiger Subduing Fist and grabbed at Liu Ding.

If that claw landed solidly, Liu Ding would definitely have a hard time. Given Liu Tao's fierce temperament, she would probably seize him and fling him around like a sack.

A flash of satisfaction appeared between Liu Tao's brows. The revenge she had awaited for so long would finally be fulfilled today.

Yet in that instant, the Little White Fox nestled in Liu Ding's arms flashed a bewitching gleam from her crystal-like eyes. Liu Tao froze, and a strange feeling immediately rose within her—she wanted to claim it for herself. Her tiger claw twisted, changing direction as it grabbed for the Little White Fox.

But in the instant she froze, Liu Ding had already reacted. His first thought was to protect the Little White Fox. He swept his arm across, shifting her aside, while rapidly retreating.

Still, he was one step too late. Liu Tao's tiger claw had already struck. With a ripping sound, it tore a hole in the clothes over his right chest, exposing his firm little chest.

The sight made Liu Ding look utterly ridiculous. The boys and girls watching immediately burst into laughter, dancing with delight and unable to contain their glee.

Feeling the chill against his chest, Liu Ding said angrily, "Shameless! You're the one acting like a rogue. Hmph, you female rogue."

Liu Tao staggered. You little brat whose mouth hasn't even grown hair yet! I'd act like a rogue toward you? And you dare call me a female rogue? If this gets around, how am I supposed to face anyone? She was about to go mad.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—without the slightest courtesy, she launched her fiercest attack at Liu Ding.

It had to be said that after taking the Black Tortoise Soul Pill, Liu Tao's Primordial Power erupted. Her cultivation as a Four-Vessel Martial Apprentice in the Soul Forging Realm was no joke. Combining the Tiger Subduing Fist, Dragon Gait, Vermillion Bird Dance, and Black Tortoise Shield—four Soul Forging Cauldron martial skills—she moved like a soaring dragon and dancing sparrow, weaving between attack and defense, battering Liu Ding until he could barely hold out. Quite a few of her delicate fists landed on him.

Fortunately, he possessed freakishly thick skin and tough flesh, so he did not suffer much. He was only worried about the Little White Fox in his arms. As he dodged, he said, "Xiao Zhi, this female rogue is too fierce. Go home and hide for now."

As he spoke, he immediately sent the Little White Fox far away. Liu Ding had great confidence in her speed. Over the past seven years, he had roamed the wilderness and fought savage beasts with her, and he had witnessed her lightning-fast speed. Here in the clan, there was even less reason to worry.

Damn it, she really put the female rogue hat on me! Liu Tao, on the other side, was driven mad with rage. She shrieked, "Fine! Today, I'll show you what it means to act like a rogue! I-I'm going to bite your little brother!"

Barning her teeth, she charged forward viciously.

"Ah!" Seeing that scarlet little mouth seemingly about to bite down for real, Liu Ding cried out. Instinctively, both hands moved to protect a certain place, leaving him unable to defend himself. He dodged in a miserable state while shouting, "Hey, hey! Don't be such a rogue! If you keep this up, I'm really going to act like a rogue toward you!"

Liu Tao broke down completely, shrieking as she flailed her arms and legs. "Come on! Come act like a rogue toward me! If you don't dare, you're a coward!"

The young bulls watching were dumbstruck. Had she gotten addicted to being rogued by this brat? This was bad—utterly infuriating, wasn't it?

The others merely wore shocked, disbelieving expressions. Liu Ji's face, changing like June weather, had turned frighteningly gloomy. He knew Liu Tao had lost her mind. Against that monstrous little rogue, she would most likely suffer.

Sure enough, after a barrage of fierce attacks had driven Liu Ding into a frantic retreat, Liu Tao's offensive had begun to run out of steam. But seeing Liu Ding happily twisting his butt as he dodged, she was seized by another burst of irritation for no reason. She lifted her jade-like leg, wanting to stamp a mark on him—better yet, to make that little rogue fall face-first into shit and vent her anger properly.

Who would have thought Liu Ding seemed to have eyes in the back of his head? With a twist of his butt, he actually sidestepped her attack. Then he kicked backward, striking Liu Tao's raised heel.

Borrowing force against force, using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds, Liu Tao lost her balance. Her waist arched, and she went sprawling head over heels, landing flat on her back on the riverbank.

Liu Ding pressed his advantage without mercy. He spun around and leaped, like a hungry tiger descending through the air, falling from the sky and pinning her beneath him.

"Damn, that freakish White Tiger Crouch again." The spectators' faces twitched. The agonizing thrill of it was still fresh in their memories. A move originally called White Tiger Pounce had been mockingly renamed White Tiger Crouch.

Sure enough, those jade-like legs were pinned beneath someone, those jade-like arms pressed into the sand on either side, and the two bodies came together in the most intimate fit.

"You female rogue, you tore my clothes, so I'm going to tear—no, bite—your clothes too."

Liu Ding huffed angrily. With his hands unable to move, he bared his snowy-white teeth and bit down toward the rolling waves somewhere beneath him.

"Don't!" "You can't!" "Not allowed!"

Thunderous cries erupted almost at the same time, startling Liu Ding into a full-body shudder. He did not dare bite down, but his opened mouth still fell by inertia onto that soft cloud-like place.

In that instant, time stopped. All kinds of disbelieving expressions froze in place. The young bulls were grief-stricken beyond measure. That place where peach blossoms bloomed, that place they yearned for, had actually been desecrated. Heavens! Earth! Give us back our goddess!

Liu Tao was also stunned by this sudden change. A feeling she had never experienced before spread from the soft place pressed beneath his lips. Though they were separated by clothing, she could still feel the warm, gentle pressure. Her body suddenly stiffened.

A moment later, Liu Tao finally realized what had happened. A scream burst violently from her parted red lips, piercing the nine heavens and striking terror into all who heard it.

Liu Ding was scared senseless. What's wrong with the female rogue? Too terrifying! But I can't let go! What do I do? Right—shut her mouth!

What happened next drove the young bulls even further into despair. Liu Ding opened his mouth and covered those two red lips with his own.

"Mmph, mmph, mmph!" The sounds were covered up. Liu Tao was completely stunned as well. Her mind went blank, her whole body turned soft and weak, and her heart trembled.

The young bulls watching had mouths wide enough to stuff in duck eggs. A moment later, Liu Ji exploded with rage and roared like thunder, "What are you still standing there for? Grab that little rogue! I'm going to kill him!"

Only then did the young bulls snap out of it. In grief and outrage, they rushed forward and, in a flurry of hands and feet, hauled Liu Ding away.
