Do You Know How Much Psychological Trauma Two Slaps Can Inflict on a Centenarian?

Qiangu Qingfeng was a man who kept a low profile.

Cai Yue'er and he belonged to the same generation.

Her achievements could be said to have surpassed ninety-nine percent of the soul masters of her era, yet the man before her was one of the few, including her own Pavilion Master, who could firmly suppress her.

A Limit Douluo, a veteran demigod!

He was no weaker than old-school powerhouses like Long Yeyue.

But why would he appear in such a small, insignificant place?

"Qiangu Qingfeng, how dare you lay a hand on me? I am the Dean of the Shrek Outer Court and one of the current elders of the Sea God Pavilion!"

Since her strength was inferior to his, Cai Yue'er had no choice but to bring up her background, attempting to intimidate the Qiangu Qingfeng before her.

Slap!

The response was another crisp, clean slap to the face.

Good, now her left cheek was swollen too.

Qian Jue nodded in satisfaction.

That's right, it had to be symmetrical; that was the only way it looked good.

Humiliated repeatedly, Cai Yue'er was on the verge of losing her mind.

For decades, who had ever dared to humiliate her like this?

Even Yun Ming couldn't bring himself to slap her!

"Aside from Yun Ming, who in your Shrek dares to fight me? Even if that old hag Long Yeyue came here, I would beat her just the same!"

Qiangu Qingfeng stood between Qian Jue and Cai Yue'er, using his Limit Douluo cultivation to forcibly neutralize the fluctuations of soul power; otherwise, the crowd of students here would likely have fainted in droves.

"A mere two slaps? When did you ever care about the face of my father or the Spirit Pagoda back then? What would it matter if I broke your limbs?"

Qiangu Qingfeng's tone was light and breezy, but those who heard it felt cold sweat trickling down their backs.

Others might have been wary of Shrek's reputation, but the Spirit Pagoda was a different story.

The two factions had been at odds ever since the former Vice Pavilion Master and the current Pavilion Master had gone together to slap the Tower Master in the face.

The current Spirit Pagoda and Shrek were already at odds, secretly competing in many fields, and were essentially like fire and water.

Cai Yue'er finally calmed down.

The absolute gap in strength forced her to recognize her position.

Even if the man she secretly loved, the number one person on the continent, could kill Qiangu Qingfeng, what of it?

When a common man flies into a rage, blood splatters five steps!

"A strong dragon shouldn't bully the local snake; Elder Cai, please just let it go!"

Lan Muzi finally found an opportunity and hurried over to mediate.

Cai Yue'er shook off Lan Muzi's hand with a look of displeasure and said coldly, "Do I need you to tell me that? Get lost."

Lan Muzi: ...

I'm tired. Just let it all end.

Qiangu Qingfeng held his Purgatory Halberd, and light and shadow flickered behind his head—one of the hallmarks of a Limit Douluo: the manifestation of consciousness!

In Cai Yue'er's eyes, his figure became incomparably tall, towering, and filled with dominance.

She gritted her teeth and tried to release her battle armor to resist, but she couldn't; in the end, she had no choice but to sink to her knees.

"Go back and tell Long Yeyue that my grandson is not someone an old hag like her can touch."

Grandson?

Cai Yue'er was completely bewildered.

With over a hundred people in the Qiangu clan, how did she happen to run into Qiangu Qingfeng's grandson? Could she really be that unlucky?

"For the sake of the late Heavenly Favored Douluo, I will only give you a minor punishment today."

"If you dare to appear before me again in the future, I will personally show you the difference between a mayfly and a giant tree."

Qiangu Qingfeng stopped exerting pressure, and only then did Cai Yue'er stand up, panting heavily, feeling a sense of relief.

"I... I understand."

She said these words through gritted teeth, and Qian Jue even seemed to see tears welling up in Cai Yue'er's eyes.

What, did two big slaps deal a critical hit to a centenarian's heart?

No, I've been professionally trained; I absolutely cannot laugh out loud.

He held it in easily.

Qian Jue was stifling his laughter, and when Gu Yue, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin saw it, they nearly burst out laughing as well, mimicking his attempt to hold it in.

Cai Yue'er caught a glimpse of the three little ones and glared at them viciously.

She had remembered these little brats who dared to mock her.

From now on, the gates of Shrek shall absolutely never be opened to them again!

On the other side, Yu Zhen pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, looking with shock at Qian Jue, who was hiding behind Qiangu Qingfeng with an expression of being pitiful, weak, and helpless.

This child was not only exceptionally gifted but also possessed a background that reached the heavens.

He had trespassed into the Tian Family!

"It is better to resolve grievances than to harbor them. Let's just call today's incident a wash; Silver Moon Crown, you just need to offer an apology and some compensation to Purgatory Crown."

"I have already apologized, and you still want me to provide compensation?"

Qiangu Qingfeng nodded and whispered, "Your Long Yeyue has brought my grandson to such a sallow, malnourished, and stunted state. As his grandfather, it is only natural for me to demand some nutrition and meal expenses for him, is it not?"

Cai Yue'er was roaring internally:

What do you mean sallow and stunted? Was that strike that defeated a Soul King just now fake?

However, she dared not voice her anger at this moment.

Seeing Cai Yue'er's dark expression, Yu Zhen couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

Trying to make me lose face?

Damn it, take this!

Cai Yue'er reluctantly took out a few spirit fruits and a Federation currency check, handing them to Qiangu Qingfeng.

Qiangu Qingfeng glanced at them and then passed them to Qian Jue.

"What do you think of this?"

Qian Jue shook his head, his face showing dissatisfaction.

Qiangu Qingfeng turned to look at Cai Yue'er and slammed the Purgatory Halberd into the ground, causing Cai Yue'er's delicate body to tremble three times.

Then, she continued to increase the compensation.

After a long while, once almost all the treasures on her person had been emptied, Qian Jue finally nodded in satisfaction.

"Thank you, Grandma Cai~"

This smile, as pure as an angel's, was the most terrifying specter in Cai Yue'er's eyes at this moment.

"Get lost. Remember to be more kind in the future; you are over a hundred years old, after all."

Not daring to stay for even a second longer, Cai Yue'er feared that if she remained here any longer, she would have to use her own soul bones to pay off the debt.

All the good things in her storage soul device had been given away today.

When she returned, she would definitely make Elder Long compensate her!

After bowing and apologizing to everyone present, Lan Muzi also left in a hurry.

However, his mood upon leaving seemed much better than when he had arrived.

Only after they had completely exited East Sea City did an expression of extreme fury appear on Cai Yue'er's face.

"Spirit Pagoda, you have bullied us too much!"

"I must have Big Brother Yun Ming and Elder Long stand up for me."

"Today's matter is not over yet."

Watching Cai Yue'er's bloodshot eyes and heavy, bovine-like breathing, Lan Muzi could only pray silently in his heart that he would not be asked to come along for such business next time.

He only wanted to live a peaceful life with his wife, have a child, and live until he died of old age.

Qiangu Qingfeng left after giving a few instructions, seemingly preparing to go home to discuss something with his grandmother.

Guided by the principal and Director Long Hengxu, who had arrived later, the students returned to their respective classes.

Upon learning that Qian Jue wanted to live on campus and share a room with Xie Xie and Tang Wulin, Yu Zhen patted his chest and promised to have the matter settled by this afternoon.

Gu Yue expressed that she also wanted to move in; although co-ed dormitories did not exist, there were exceptions to everything.

They were all promising seedlings of the academy, so letting them live together was fine.

Yu Zhen generously allocated a small villa near the academy to the four of them.

And so, a surprising and thrilling day came to an end.

That night, back at the new dormitory.

Qian Jue gathered everyone together to share some of the "small compensation" he had extorted today.
