Miserable, Truly Miserable

Seeing that the two were about to attack, Xuan Yi didn't want the killing to taint their young minds, so she pulled them back and prepared to kill the arrogant spoiled brat herself.

Just as the guards moved their feet, before they had taken three steps, several Thunder fell from the sky and struck the Cheng Family's guards directly.

Even the old man who had been standing behind Cheng Shou was not spared; a bolt of Thunder, slightly thicker than the others', struck him down.

"Crack!"

A bright flash of light streaked across the sky, and people around instinctively shielded their eyes with their hands.

The old man following behind Cheng Shou tried to block the Thunder, but to no avail, and was ultimately struck by it.

When he opened his eyes again, the guards were gone, leaving only clumps of Black Ash on the ground.

The onlookers, seeing this scene, exclaimed in surprise:

"Is this divine retribution for doing too many bad things?"

"Definitely, serves him right."

Xuan Yi naturally knew who had done it, and turned to look at Xiao Tian, who was walking towards them.

Xiao Tian came to Xuan Yi's side and looked at Cheng Shou, who was standing there stunned by the sudden Thunder.

"Daddy, you're here! This toad bullied us and even tried to take advantage of Aunt Xuan, hmph!" The two little girls pretended to be aggrieved and came to Xiao Tian's side.

Xuan Yi couldn't help but smile as he watched Xiao Ling and the other woman putting on an act.

"Alright, Father will teach him a lesson for you." Xiao Tian looked at Cheng Shou and said in a completely emotionless voice, "Since you have this idea, then I'll help you address the root of the problem."

Xiao Tian pointed his finger, and a thin bolt of Thunder shot towards the gaunt young man.

"Ah!!!!"

Immediately afterward, the young man let out a bloodcurdling scream, then clutched a charred spot on his body and rolled around on the ground.

"Sigh~~"

A series of gasps of cold air rose from the surrounding area. All the men felt a chill in their groin for no apparent reason, and they couldn't help but cover their bodies and shrink back, as if they were sharing the pain.

Tragic, utterly tragic, absolutely tragic, too horrible to bear.

This is practically the most painful spot for a man. Even a slight bump would be unbearable, let alone being forcibly shattered by Thunder. How painful would that be?

Xuan Yi approached Xiao Tian Xiao Tian, reached out and pinched his waist. Her beautiful eyes gave him a helpless look as she leaned closer and said, "There are so many people here. Can't you be a little more civilized? Just kill him."

Xiao Tian removed Xuan Yi's hand from his own, then took it and played with it for a while. Xuan Yi's figure was more voluptuous and fleshy, and her body felt the best to the touch.

Xuan Yi felt her hand being grabbed by Xiao Tian and even kneaded. She immediately stiffened, a blush rising to her cheeks. She struggled slightly.

She struggled slightly, but when she couldn't break free, she stopped and let Xiao Tian hold her.

"He dared to plot against you; let's teach him a lesson he'll never forget," Xiao Tian said calmly.

Although the voice was calm, there was a strong sense of protectiveness within it.

She couldn't help but squeeze Xiao Tian's hand.

"Aaaaaah!!! Stop hitting me!!"

Just as Xuan Yi was about to say something, he heard screams coming from the side.

The two turned their heads and saw Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng whipping Cheng Shou.

"You still want to run away while Father and Xuan Yi are being all lovey-dovey? You'd better lie down on the ground properly." Xiao Ling said while whipping him.

"Exactly, we were watching this perfectly fine, but you had to run away, so I couldn't even enjoy the show." Xiao Meng's voice was full of displeasure.

Hearing their words, Xuan Yi's face turned bright red, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand from Xiao Tian's grasp.

She quickly went to Xiao Ling and the other girl's side to comfort them.

After calming him down, Xuan Yi glanced at Cheng Shou on the ground. Cheng Shou was covered in whip marks, and blood was constantly seeping out, staining his brocade robes blood red.

That's terrible, he's practically on the verge of death.

Seeing the other person's miserable state, Xuan Yi finally decided to stop him from suffering. She flicked her hand, and a flame landed on the other person's body.

Immediately afterwards, flames erupted from Cheng Shou's body, instantly engulfing him.

The flames were extremely hot; before Cheng Shou could even cry out, he was already reduced to ashes.

"Is this the legendary 'returning to one's roots'? I never expected you to be such a kind person, Xuan Yi."

Xuan Yi paused for a moment upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, then turned to look at Xiao Tian, his usually deep gaze now replaced by confusion.

Is "fallen leaves return to their roots" a phrase used in this way?

Xiao Tian chuckled softly, "Look, after people die of old age, they eventually turn into a handful of ashes. And now he has become a handful of ashes. This Tian Huang City is his hometown, so isn't that returning to one's roots?"

"This helped him fulfill his old wish ahead of time; it's definitely a good deed, a great act of merit!"

"Pfft~"

Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, the three people in Xuan Yi instantly lost their composure and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Xuan Yi wondered how she would ever face this idiom again. Someone had said that their future plan was to return to their roots, so should she just give them a piece of her mind?

"You're full of nonsense." Xuan Yi rolled her eyes at Xiao Tian and laughed as she scolded him.

"Haha~~ Then tell me if this word is correct or not!"

Xuan Yi thought about it and realized that there was some truth to it, but it was just sophistry.

While she was in a daze, she suddenly felt a warm sensation on her side. Her body stiffened slightly, and when she looked down, she saw an arm around her waist.

The owner of that hand was none other than Xiao Tian Xuan Yi. It was the first time that a man had touched and held her waist like this, and she had a strange feeling about it.

Her breathing quickened slightly for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

Her first reaction was to remove Xiao Tian's hand, but then she thought about how Xiao Tian had saved her and had just helped her, and she didn't seem to dislike this feeling; in fact, she somewhat liked the feeling of Xiao Tian's hand around her.

In the end, she decided to let Xiao Tian hold her plump yet slender waist.

Xiao Tian saw the change in Xuan Yi's expression, but did not slap his hand away.

On the contrary, the muscles in my waist that were initially tense gradually relaxed and returned to their supple state, indicating that my test had been very successful.

Love is a gradual process of testing each other, from tentatively holding hands, to gently nuzzling each other, to finally achieving the goal and then staying together for life.

If you don't take the initiative and she doesn't take the initiative, then in the end she'll be in someone else's arms, and you'll be left holding a bottle of wine, leaning against the wall in vain regret. At that point, regret won't help, because you brought it on yourself!

For Xiao Tian, there was no such thing as mutual respect. That phrase was just a veiled expression of no longer loving each other. If they were truly in love, they would be inseparable and passionate.
