Fate by the Throat, Torturing the Rabbit in Style

"Xiao Wu, be careful."

"Don't worry, sis has it under control!"

The three girls spoke in low voices.

Xiao Wu remained as composed as ever.

She acknowledged Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's warnings.

Taking a deep breath, she adopted the posture of a delicate, obedient young girl and walked out from her hiding place.

Ye Qingtian had long sensed the arrival of Xiao Wu and the other two.

With his hands behind his back, he spotted Xiao Wu emerging from around the corner at a glance.

In that single glance, he immediately understood what kind of trick Xiao Wu intended to pull.

Sure enough, this Xiao Wu is no harmless little thing.

From the looks of it, she plans to use the same method they used against Bule on me.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing are still hiding nearby. They must want to see Xiao Wu ambush me and leave me with every bone in my body shattered!

Interesting. This Xiao Wu is very confident!

Ye Qingtian mused inwardly.

Having grasped the entire situation, he remained as calm and unruffled as ever.

Xiao Wu gradually drew nearer. With both hands behind her back, she skipped down the street while humming an unfamiliar tune.

"Ah, are you the senior from earlier today?"

Xiao Wu suddenly stopped, putting on a surprised expression. "What a coincidence. I never expected to run into you here, Senior."

"My name is Xiao Wu, as in dancing. After we went back today, we got to the bottom of things. My companion wronged you, Senior."

"Senior, how about I apologize to you on behalf of my companion?"

As soon as she finished speaking,

Xiao Wu stopped skipping.

No matter how one looked at her, she appeared to be sincerely trying to apologize for Ning Rongrong.

She approached Ye Qingtian step by step, unable to stop calculating in her heart.

Hehe, it really worked!

This plan is actually going to succeed so easily!

Xiao Wu happily pondered to herself, a faint smile appearing on her face.

Ye Qingtian scrutinized Xiao Wu. "There is no need to put on an act before me. Your apology is fake, Xiao Wu. Revenge is your true purpose!"

Uh...

Xiao Wu froze where she stood.

In that brief instant, her mind raced wildly.

"Senior, you misunderstand."

"I merely happened to encounter you and remembered what happened with my companion!"

"If you don't believe me, Senior, I can prove it to you."

Xiao Wu hurriedly explained.

Afraid the plan would fail,

her footsteps suddenly quickened.

When she was only four or five steps away from Ye Qingtian, Spirit Rings abruptly appeared around her body, and a gleam flashed through her eyes.

"Third spirit skill, Teleportation!"

Xiao Wu shouted softly.

In an instant, Xiao Wu vanished from where she stood.

The next second, she silently appeared behind Ye Qingtian.

Seeing that Ye Qingtian was still looking in the direction where she had been, clearly not having reacted yet,

a joyful smile immediately blossomed across Xiao Wu's face.

Hehe, it worked!

As long as this guy hears something and turns around, I can hit him with Charm right away!

Once he falls for Charm, I can slowly help Rongrong get even!

Xiao Wu thought gleefully to herself.

Though she had not succeeded yet, she already felt as if victory were within reach.

Ye Qingtian turned around.

His calm eyes met Xiao Wu's eyes, which were already glowing pink.

"Senior, look at how pre..."

"Urgh..."

Xiao Wu had just been about to seduce him and use Charm as well.

However, things did not unfold according to the script she had imagined.

Ye Qingtian struck with the speed of lightning.

Ignoring Xiao Wu's Charm, he clamped one hand around her neck like an iron vise.

With strength only in the thirties, she had actually tried to make him submit through Charm. It was nothing more than wishful thinking.

With her neck seized, Xiao Wu's breathing instantly became labored.

Xiao Wu's eyes widened, and her expression changed dramatically. "This is bad! Why isn't he affected by my Charm?"

Ye Qingtian's grip on Xiao Wu's neck tightened further.

Xiao Wu's face began to turn pale. She wanted to struggle, but could not muster much strength.

"You're so young, yet you refuse to learn properly. You want to play the whore?"

"Don't you know that whores in brothels have no rights whatsoever?"

"If you want to imitate those women, don't expect to be treated kindly!"

Ye Qingtian said indifferently.

He casually glanced at Xiao Wu's hands.

Xiao Wu did not understand the meaning behind Ye Qingtian's gaze and was about to ask.

Suddenly, an intense, heart-rending pain tore through her.

"Ah... It hurts..."

Xiao Wu cried out in pain.

Ye Qingtian had not made any visible move.

Yet both her arms twisted like pretzels.

The bones in her hands shattered inch by inch, and bone-piercing pain swept through her entire body.

Her scream tore through the deep night sky.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing both shuddered.

Xiao Wu's scream gave them a fright.

Not daring to hesitate, the two hurriedly rushed out from around the corner.

"Let Xiao Wu go!"

"If you have anything to settle, come at me!"

"Otherwise, I will make sure you die without a burial ground!"

Ning Rongrong strode forward.

When she saw Xiao Wu's twisted arms, her pupils contracted uncontrollably.

She did not dare imagine what it would feel like if such pain were inflicted on her. She would likely faint at once.

Xiao Wu was already close to passing out.

The pain was worse than anything she had experienced even when she had been a Soul Beast.

Every inch of bone had been broken. It was practically killing her.

Ye Qingtian glanced at Ning Rongrong, selectively ignoring this uncultured Little Witch. His cold gaze continued down toward Xiao Wu's legs.

Xiao Wu was utterly terrified.

Seeing Ye Qingtian's gaze shift to her legs,

terror flooded her body. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

Before she could speak, excruciating pain surged from her legs through her entire body once more.

Just like her hands, Ye Qingtian had made no movement. He had merely given them a casual glance.

Her legs twisted like pretzels as well.

The bones in her legs snapped one after another.

The agonizing pain and the screams that pierced the night sky woke an unknown number of sleeping people nearby.

Ning Rongrong could not help drawing in a sharp breath.

A chill enveloped her body, and even her breathing became somewhat strained.

Xiao Wu's miserable state left her at a loss.

"Rongrong, think of something!"

"Xiao Wu can't hold on much longer!"

"Cover me. I'll go rescue Xiao Wu!"

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing spoke first. Having once been hunted down, she was far calmer than Ning Rongrong, a flower bud raised entirely in a greenhouse.

She was afraid, but she still retained the most basic ability to act.

Ning Rongrong came back to her senses and hurriedly stopped Zhu Zhuqing.

As she held Zhu Zhuqing back, Ning Rongrong saw Xiao Wu writhing in unbearable pain.

Afraid Xiao Wu would die at any moment, she took a deep breath and shouted:

"I am from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects!"

"If you don't let Xiao Wu go, then you—"

"Will become an enemy of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
