Sorting the Spoils, Entering Seclusion to Break Through

"Three."

Chen Xu calmly counted out a number. With a bang, Xiao Yeze was driven into the marble floor once more.

"Four."

"Five."

Blood covered his handsome face. Xiao Yeze had just passed out when several more slaps from Chen Xu woke him again.

Boundless fear rose from the depths of Xiao Yeze's heart.

He could sense Chen Xu's undisguised killing intent. If this continued, he would be beaten to death here. This guy truly wanted to kill him!

"Chen... Chen Xu... Urgh... cough, cough... I think... we can... talk this out."

The counting abruptly stopped at ten. Only then did Xiao Yeze get the chance to catch his breath. His hair was disheveled, his clothes torn, and he was covered in blood.

The maids covered their mouths as they watched. The image of their prince charming shattered completely.

Since the day he had been born, when had Xiao Yeze ever been treated like this? He suppressed the ever-growing hatred in his heart, wiped the blood from his face, and forced out a faint smile.

Combined with his face, swollen into a large lump from the beating, it was strangely comical.

"Brother Chen, I've already exchanged my credits for resources. I can't pay them back right away."

The moment he finished speaking, Chen Xu raised a hand as if to strike him. Xiao Yeze's body trembled in fright, and he hurriedly said, "Just give me a little time. Once I gather enough credits, I'll transfer them to you immediately, alright?"

"How many credits and cultivation resources do you have right now?" Chen Xu asked flatly. How could Xiao Yeze not know what Chen Xu was after? He immediately began to stammer.

His head intimately met the marble floor once again, and the left side of his face swelled even higher.
