The Angel God Forever Protects Her People

With a sharp smack, the crisp sound of a slap rang out. The maids and servants nearby all dropped to their knees, watching the scene with trembling fear.

Ning Rongrong was sent flying nearly a meter by the tremendous force of Yun Chen's slap before collapsing onto the ground.

A little blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, though fortunately, none of her teeth had fallen out.

Unfortunately, although Yun Chen had retained enough reason to hold back somewhat, half of Ning Rongrong's face had swollen up like a pig's head from that slap.

"Young Master Yun Chen... you can't do this..."

The servants trembled as they kowtowed nearby. They wanted to step forward and pull Yun Chen away, but his golden eyes glared them back, leaving them too afraid to approach by even half a step.

My ancestor, please, don't hit her again. If something happens, we'll be dragged down with you too.

Heavens, Angel God, please show yourself! I'm begging you, save me!

The maids and servants beside them were nearly in tears. They truly did not want to stake the lives of their entire clans on their belts while standing here and watching this unfold.

"Enough. You people, go inform His Highness the Crown Prince about this."

"I, Yun Chen, will bear responsibility for my own actions. I won't implicate anyone else. I'll protect you."

Little ancestor, can you really protect us? That's the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! After hitting her like that, you probably can't even protect yourself today.

That's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, with a Title Douluo-level powerhouse guarding it. Even if Xue Ye himself came, he'd have to show this little princess some respect.

The servants remained extremely terrified and did not really believe Yun Chen's words. In their eyes, after beating Ning Rongrong, Yun Chen himself was already in grave danger.

Yun Chen sighed softly. Seeing the distrust in everyone's eyes gave him an even clearer understanding of Title Douluos.

This is the deterrence of a Title Douluo—the continent's most powerful experts.

It is precisely because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has such a powerhouse overseeing it that the Heaven Dou Empire has to fear them to some extent.

If I had such strength or backing, who would dare say no to me today? Challenging me would be out of the question. They'd all have to greet me with smiling faces.

Yun Chen could not help but feel a sense of yearning. Even without ever having personally held such power, merely sensing from the sidelines what it felt like to stand at the pinnacle of authority and hold the lives and deaths of others in one's hands had already captivated him.

Yet there was nothing else the others could do. The servants scattered in a panic. Those who could seek connections did so, while those who could not hurriedly went to notify the Crown Prince, hoping the situation could still be eased.

"You! You actually... actually... dared to hit me!"

At that moment, Ning Rongrong finally recovered from being stunned by the blow. She glared furiously at Yun Chen from the ground, still trying to talk tough.

"Just you wait, Yun Chen! Today, I'll make you pay! I'll have my grandfather kill you! Sob... it hurts so much! Grandfather, someone is bullying me!"

Yun Chen grew even angrier, but he suppressed his rage. With a cold sneer, he stepped forward without hesitation. Of course, he was only trying to scare Ning Rongrong.

After all, he held no advantage in this matter. Bone Douluo was right there in the assembly hall. If they truly came to blows, Yun Chen likely would not be able to keep his life.

"Y-you... don't come over... no, no, I was wrong, sob... I was wrong..."

The corner of Yun Chen's mouth twitched. Looking at Ning Rongrong curled into a trembling ball on the ground, crying her eyes out, he was somewhat speechless.

He truly had not expected the little devil Ning Rongrong, who had just been talking so boldly and acting as though she feared neither heaven nor earth, to be this cowardly now.

But if Ning Rongrong knew what Yun Chen was thinking, she would definitely spit blood on the spot and retort.

Who wouldn't panic? My grandfather isn't here, bro! Your Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff phantom has appeared—I'm supposed to not panic? You looked like you were genuinely about to kill me!

After thinking for a moment, Yun Chen also sensed that something was off. He abruptly turned to look behind him, only then discovering the problem.

Holy shit, why did my Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff phantom appear? No wonder I scared the kid like this.

"Rongrong! Rongrong! What happened, my precious child?"

The moment Bone Douluo received the news, he opened a spatial tunnel directly from the meeting room without the slightest hesitation. In the next instant, he had arrived at Ning Rongrong's side.

He gathered Ning Rongrong into his arms with great distress and softly comforted her. When he saw the slap mark on her face, fury surged within him.

"Boy, you've got guts! Today, I'll let you know that our Rongrong is not someone to be bullied. Whether you live or die will depend on fate."

His meaning was perfectly clear. Bone Douluo was determined to vent Ning Rongrong's anger today and kill Yun Chen on the spot.

"That's right! Grandfather, kill him! He slapped me just now, and he even said he was going to keep hitting me!"

Seeing that her backer had arrived, Ning Rongrong stopped crying at once and immediately complained to Bone Douluo. She painted Yun Chen as an utterly heinous villain—truly the wicked accusing others first.

Of course, Bone Douluo might not have been unaware of his little granddaughter's temperament, but he did not care. He spoiled his own granddaughter; what were outsiders worth?

Yun Chen's expression remained utterly calm. He did not argue, because arguing would be useless. What he was thinking about now was how he should escape next.

Qian Renxue would protect him, right? If a Title Douluo truly made a move, then with Qian Renxue's apparent strength, she definitely would not be able to stop him.

If she wanted to protect him, she would at least have to mobilize Snake Spear and Ci Xue to put up some resistance, and even then, there was a high chance they would not be able to escape.

But if that happened, would Qian Renxue's infiltration plan not be ruined? Was he worth her paying such a heavy price?

"Uncle Gu, don't! You mustn't act rashly!"

Ning Fengzhi hurried out of the council hall. After briefly locating the two of them, he rushed over while shouting.

Following behind him was naturally Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe. Her expression was incomparably grim, and she viciously crushed the waist token hidden behind her back.

She had already prepared for the worst—that was, to deploy Snake Spear and Ci Xue, take Yun Chen away directly, and withdraw from the Heaven Dou Empire.

Her original purpose in infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire had been nothing more than to gain her mother's recognition. Qian Renxue still wanted that recognition now, but compared to Yun Chen's life, it was not worth mentioning.

The Angel God will never allow her people to be threatened. My Regent, you'll be fine. I promise!

Snake Spear and Ci Xue, the two Titled Douluo lurking in the shadows, had already begun to move. Their eyes remained fixed on Bone Douluo's every action, even though Bone Douluo was now a Super Douluo.

Yet they did not panic. No matter how strong a Super Douluo was, he could not possibly kill them in an instant. Though they could not defeat him, they could still escape with Yun Chen and Qian Renxue.

Besides, Bone Douluo could not simply ignore Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi. As long as Ci Xue released some poison, he would surely be able to hold Bone Douluo back.

Bone Douluo had already heard what Ning Fengzhi said, but he did not want to concern himself with any of that right now. He only wanted to teach this brat a lesson. Even if he did not kill him, he would cripple him.

"Brat, today, you'll be crippled right here."

Qian Renxue's eyes turned fearful as she watched the scene before her. Her worry for Yun Chen had reached its peak.

Likewise, there was only one voice in Ning Fengzhi's heart.

It's over...

The next moment, a resounding voice rang out from the sky.

"Bone Douluo, how dare you!"
