Ye Hao saw that Song Qingxue was begging for mercy, so he lifted his foot.
Song Qingxue continued lying on the ground, crying. She had never suffered such grievance, such humiliation.
"Wuwuwuwu..."
Song Qingxue cried, using her tears to vent the grievance in her heart.
Only after crying for quite a while did she gradually calm down.
Song Qingxue had finished venting the grievance in her heart, but deep down, she had not truly admitted defeat to Ye Hao.
Instead, she buried her hatred deep in her heart!
But Song Qingxue was only eighteen years old. She still could not completely hide her emotions.
There was hatred in her eyes.
Song Qingxue stood up and glared resentfully at Ye Hao.
Slap!
Ye Hao sent another slap flying.
Song Qingxue covered her pretty face and stared at Ye Hao. Mist gradually gathered in her eyes.
Ye Hao looked at her coldly. "If you look at me with that expression again, I'll slap your mouth!"
Song Qingxue glared at Ye Hao resentfully and swore venomously, "Once my father arrives, I'll definitely make you regret this!"
Slap slap slap slap!
Ye Hao slapped her several times in succession.
Song Qingxue immediately became much more obedient, and several times more fear appeared in her eyes.
"Kneel." Ye Hao spoke calmly.
Song Qingxue had originally become obedient, but she had only submitted to violence. Now that Ye Hao wanted her to kneel, he was humiliating her and trampling on her dignity!
Song Qingxue's pretty face twisted viciously as she glared at Ye Hao with venom. "Ye Hao, may you die a horrible death!"
Bang!
Ye Hao kicked Song Qingxue in the abdomen. She immediately flew backward, sailing more than twenty meters before crashing heavily onto the ground.
Ye Hao appeared beside her in an instant and kicked again. Song Qingxue flew straight through the air.
She did not stop until she landed on a road inside the Ye Family compound.
There were quite a few young men and women from the Ye Family chatting and gossiping about Ye Hao and Song Qingxue near the road.
They had thought that Ye Hao was the Ye Family's prodigy and would surely marry Song Qingxue of the Song Family. But at that moment, they suddenly heard a muffled crash.
They all turned to look.
They saw Song Qingxue sprawled miserably on the ground, her hair disheveled, her face swollen, and bloodstains visible.
The young men and women of the Ye Family looked shocked, then hurried over to ask with concern, "Are you all right?"
Song Qingxue: "!!!"
She had been beaten like this. How could she possibly be all right?
A wave of shame surged through Song Qingxue's heart. Her dignity had been trampled, her reputation...
Ye Hao appeared at that moment. Looking at Song Qingxue on the ground, he said calmly, "Remember, you are my Ye Hao's woman, not a member of the Song Family!"
The young men and women of the Ye Family looked stunned. Only then did they realize that Song Qingxue had been beaten by Ye Hao...
But why had Ye Hao beaten Song Qingxue?
"Brother Ye Hao, she's your fiancée... Could there be some grudge between you?" a young Ye Family woman asked curiously.
Ye Hao felt that he needed to explain. Otherwise, the Ye Family would think he was a bad person.
Ye Hao briefly explained the situation.
He said that his mother had given the Song Family three low-grade Earth-tier Cultivation Methods as the betrothal gifts.
If the Song Family refused to fulfill the marriage agreement,
they would have to compensate him with one million Mid-grade Spirit Stones—an amount they could never afford.
But the Song Family had never intended to compensate them. They had even wanted to test the Ye Family's strength and flatten the Ye Family!
The young men and women of the Ye Family immediately became furious after hearing this.
"What a cold-blooded heart! Your Song Family accepted Earth-tier Cultivation Methods from us, yet not only did you refuse to fulfill the marriage agreement, you even wanted to flatten the Ye Family. Even a snake or scorpion would pale in comparison!"
"Bah! I was actually worried about you just now!"
"Brother Ye Hao, keep going."
The young woman from the Ye Family then made a suggestion. "Brother Ye Hao, why not strip her clothes? Girls care most about their reputation and chastity. If we strip her and throw her onto the street, her dignity will be swept into the dust!"
"That's a good idea." Ye Hao nodded calmly.
"No, no, don't! I was wrong. I'll never dare to do it again." Song Qingxue was horrified by the young woman's words.
If that truly happened, how could she ever show her face again?
Everyone would probably laugh at her behind her back!
Seeing that Song Qingxue was afraid, Ye Hao revealed a faint smile. "Since you know you were wrong, then remember my words and repeat them."
"I... I'm your woman, not a member of the Song Family." Song Qingxue spoke in a trembling voice. Once she finished, overwhelming grievance surged through her heart.
How was saying this any different from betraying her Lineage?
But she had been forced into a corner.
Ye Hao nodded in satisfaction, then said to the young men and women of the Ye Family, "Go play. I need to cultivate."
"Brother Ye Hao, I want to learn from you. I'm going to cultivate too."
"I'm going to cultivate too." The young men and women of the Ye Family spoke one after another.
Ye Hao nodded calmly, then took Song Qingxue back to his own courtyard.
When the sisters Lin Shige and Lin Shiyu saw Song Qingxue, battered beyond recognition with both cheeks swollen, they could not help being stunned.
What had happened?
Ye Hao glanced at Song Qingxue, then quickly tapped her several times.
Although he had sealed the spiritual energy within Song Qingxue's body earlier, her physical strength remained, posing a great threat to the sisters Lin Shige and Lin Shiyu.
After all, the sisters Lin Shige and Lin Shiyu were only at the Sixth Level of Body Refining.
Ye Hao sealed Song Qingxue's physical strength. At that moment, Song Qingxue was no different from an ordinary person.
"Take her to bathe and apply medicine to her. Come back to me after the swelling on her face has gone down. Remember, keep an eye on her. Don't let her escape." After saying this, Ye Hao entered the room to cultivate.
The sisters Lin Shige and Lin Shiyu exchanged a glance, both seeing the tension in the other's eyes.
They had seen Song Qingxue before, when her face was not swollen. In terms of looks, she was slightly prettier than them...
Was this Song Qingxue planning to compete with them for favor?
"Little Sister Qingxue, I'll take you to bathe and change your clothes."
Lin Shige spoke gently.
Song Qingxue did not dare show any arrogance. She was battered and bruised, with a swollen face. How could she still act proud?
Inside the bathing tub,
Song Qingxue soaked in the water while Lin Shige bathed and washed her.
Before long, Lin Shiyu returned.
"Sis, she's the Young Master's fiancée," Lin Shiyu said. She had just gone out to inquire about the matter.
Lin Shige's heart jolted.
Lin Shiyu continued, "But it's impossible for her to marry the Young Master..."
Lin Shiyu recounted everything that had happened.
After hearing it all, Lin Shige felt relieved. So that was how it was.
The Song Family had repaid kindness with treachery! They owed a debt and refused to repay it, yet they had even wanted to flatten the Ye Family!
Song Qingxue: "..."
Song Qingxue closed her eyes and remained silent.
Slap!
Lin Shige suddenly slapped Song Qingxue across the face.
Song Qingxue's face was already swollen. After taking another slap, she cried out in pain.
Then she glared coldly at Lin Shige. "You're only a maid, yet you dared to hit me? Do you know who I am? I'm a member of the thousand-year-old Song Family! And I'm the Song Family's true prodigy, the one everyone has always held in the palms of their hands!"
Lin Shige sneered. "So what? At worst, I'll pay with my life. If the Ye Family is flattened by your Song Family, or if anything happens to the Young Master, then what meaning would there be in my staying alive?"
Slap!
Lin Shige sent another vicious slap flying.
