Smack!
Lin Shiyu also slapped Song Qingxue across her pretty face.
"Try acting arrogant again!"
Lin Shiyu stared coldly at Song Qingxue.
Song Qingxue: "..."
Song Qingxue shut her eyes resentfully, hatred surging like a towering tide in her heart. Even a maid dared to raise a hand against her!
Ye Hao, who was inside the room, also heard the commotion from the room next door.
Seeing that both Lin Shige sisters had slapped Song Qingxue, he condensed his voice into a thread and transmitted it to them in a voice only the sisters could hear. "Keep hitting her until she submits completely."
Ye Hao wanted Song Qingxue to submit completely!
Only then could he make the outside world truly believe that his Ye Family possessed a powerhouse at the Sixth Realm!
Upon hearing Ye Hao's voice, the sisters revealed meaningful smiles.
Smack!
A slap landed across Song Qingxue's face.
"You—you two, why are you still hitting me!" Song Qingxue opened her eyes and said through clenched teeth.
She had clearly shut her eyes and kept her mouth shut!
Yet they were still hitting her!
Lin Shiyu said indifferently, "I don't like the look of you!"
"Are you jealous of my looks?"
Smack!
Lin Shige angrily lashed out with a slap, swelling Song Qingxue's face even further. She sneered, "With that pig's-head appearance of yours, who would be jealous of you?"
Crack!
The slender jade hand soaking in the water suddenly clenched into a fist, producing a crisp snap from its knuckles.
Song Qingxue endured it!
Smack!
Song Qingxue endured it!
Smack!
Song Qingxue continued to endure!
Until Lin Shige grabbed her...
Song Qingxue felt she had suffered immense humiliation. Fury filled her, and her eyes brimmed with killing intent as a wave of pressure suddenly surged toward the Lin Shige sisters. "You two just wait!"
"I'll grab—"
Smack!
Song Qingxue submitted and began to cry.
"Wuwuwu... wuwuwu... I was wrong. I really was wrong. Stop hitting me."
Song Qingxue cried from grievance. She felt wronged, angry, and utterly despairing inside.
No matter how vicious she was, she was ultimately only eighteen...
Lin Shige would never pity Song Qingxue. Having once lived at the bottom, she had seen people who had committed every evil under the sun tortured until they wept bitterly.
But what did crying bitterly accomplish?
Did that mean she should sympathize with them?
Did that mean she should overlook the monstrous evils they had committed?
Smack smack smack smack smack smack!
The Lin Shige sisters turned into demons, bullying Song Qingxue without pause.
Song Qingxue's state of mind kept changing as well.
From icy killing intent and hatred surging like a towering tide, to endurance, then more endurance, and finally forced submission—then despair, deep despair, despair mixed with grievance, crying, and finally a complete breakdown as she sobbed uncontrollably.
But Ye Hao, who had experienced the dangers of the human heart, knew that this alone still could not make Song Qingxue submit completely.
The moment she gained the upper hand, Song Qingxue would immediately turn against them.
Still, this was enough. As long as Song Qingxue obediently listened, that would do.
At the same time, inside the City Lord's Mansion of East Moon City.
A distinguished guest had arrived at the City Lord's Mansion today—the visitor was from the thousand-year-old Song Family.
His name was Song Nanyu, and he was at the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm!
He had been sent by the Song Family to escort Song Qingxue to the Ye Family.
The city lord, Xia Qiyuan, personally received Song Nanyu.
He accompanied Song Nanyu in drinking wine.
"Brother Nanyu, I have finished telling you everything I know about the Ye Family. All these years, I have secretly monitored the Ye Family on behalf of the imperial clan. The Ye Family truly hasn't shown any major abnormalities over the years, except that the ancestors of the Ye Family's first three generations have never shown themselves..."
City Lord Xia Qiyuan spoke.
Song Nanyu's expression was indifferent, carrying an air of loftiness.
"It seems that if we want to know the Ye Family's true trump card, we can only meet the ancestors of the Ye Family's first three generations."
Song Nanyu spoke leisurely, his gaze deep. He then took out a voice-transmission jade tablet and sent a transmission to Song Qingxue, who was currently at the Ye Family.
Song Nanyu spoke into the voice-transmission jade tablet. "Miss, see if you can find out anything about the ancestors of the Ye Family's first three generations. If the Ye Family has a trump card, those three ancestors may be one of them."
Song Qingxue, who was bathing while also being beaten, suddenly saw her Storage Ring flash several times.
Her voice-transmission jade tablet was inside the ring. It had lit up, indicating that someone was sending her a message.
But she could not circulate her spiritual power and was completely unable to open the Storage Ring.
"The ring lit up? I've read some books saying that if there's a voice-transmission jade tablet inside a Storage Ring, the ring will light up when someone sends you a transmission."
After Lin Shige finished speaking, she immediately stood up and informed Ye Hao of the matter.
Ye Hao soon came in.
Song Qingxue: "!!!"
"You... get out!"
Song Qingxue broke down.
She was still bathing!
Smack!
Lin Shiyu directly slapped Song Qingxue across the face, then sneered. "Have you still not figured out the situation?"
Song Qingxue fell silent.
Ye Hao quickly tapped her twice, allowing Song Qingxue to use a little spiritual power.
Because Storage Rings recognized their masters through blood, only the ring's owner could open one. If someone else forcibly opened it, the items inside could easily be destroyed.
"Take out the voice-transmission jade tablet from the ring," Ye Hao said indifferently.
Song Qingxue did not dare disobey and took out the voice-transmission jade tablet.
Ye Hao then used the voice-transmission jade tablet and heard Song Nanyu's voice transmitted through it.
Ye Hao's expression remained calm. He took the jade tablet away, then said to the Lin Shige sisters, "Don't hit her face. Anywhere else is fine."
"Yes, Young Master," the sisters replied.
Ye Hao left.
Soon, Song Qingxue's screams rang out from inside the room.
The screams continued for a full day and night...
Song Qingxue submitted. Her dignity had been trampled beneath their feet!
During the day.
Ye Hao took out a bone gnawed by a dog and tossed it directly onto the ground.
Tears of humiliation streamed down Song Qingxue's face. She felt that every person in the Ye Family was a demon!
She wanted to die! She wanted to kill herself and end it all!
She did not want to suffer such humiliation anymore!
"Ye Hao, I'm already afraid of you. Please, don't humiliate me like this anymore. I'm willing to become your maid and follow behind you. I just don't want to suffer this humiliation anymore. My lofty status, my pride ingrained in my bones, my dignity—all of it was destroyed by you long ago. Ye Hao, please, I'm begging you, I beg you."
Tears streamed down Song Qingxue's face. She truly wanted to submit, but she genuinely did not want to be humiliated anymore.
"Or give me a quick death. Consider it repayment of my debt," Song Qingxue said through her tears.
Lin Shige and Lin Shiyu stood to one side in silence.
They could see that Song Qingxue was truly afraid. At that moment, she looked extremely pitiful.
A trace of pity actually arose in their hearts—but it was only a trace of pity.
After all, Song Qingxue's original purpose had been to probe the Ye Family's strength. If the Ye Family had no ancestor at the Sixth Realm, then what awaited the Ye Family would be annihilation!
Even infants would die at the hands of the Song Family!
And at that time, who would have pitied the Ye Family?
Ye Hao showed not the slightest trace of pity, but he could see that Song Qingxue had truly submitted.
Ye Hao could not be bothered to spend more effort subduing Song Qingxue.
He said indifferently, "Get up and knead my shoulders."
"Yes, Young Master."
Song Qingxue secretly let out a sigh of relief. She then eagerly fawned over Ye Hao and massaged his shoulders, as if being allowed to massage his shoulders were already an enormous blessing.
