Su Yue City.
After Li Qingrong had heard the gossip about herself from Tang Yan that day,
the more she thought about it, the angrier she became, until she immediately led her guards charging into Su Yue City.
The family of that whoring, rotten cucumber Peng Liangyi lived in Su Yue City.
Outside the Peng residence.
Li Qingrong wore dazzling red robes, her black hair tied high with a red ribbon. A chill lurked in her bold, striking eyes.
She looked radiant and valiant.
About ten guards stood in a line behind her, all at the Divine Incarnation stage, with a Body Integration expert hidden nearby.
"What's going on?"
"No idea. Looks like she's here for revenge."
"Did the Peng Family offend someone out there? Just look at that lineup."
Quite a crowd had already gathered, pointing at the Peng Family and whispering.
Of course, none of them dared comment on Li Qingrong. After all, she had ten Divine Incarnation guards alone.
No one in the Peng Family's territory or the surrounding area could afford to provoke her.
The Peng Family soon heard the commotion and hurried out. The ones who came were none other than Peng Liangyi's parents.
Both broke into beaming smiles at the sight of Li Qingrong.
"Daughter-in-law, what brings you here? Come inside and sit," his father said.
"Daughter-in-law, why didn't you have Liangyi tell us you were coming? We could have prepared."
His mother sounded a little nervous, with an almost imperceptible hint of reproach.
Li Qingrong ignored them both. "Where's Peng Liangyi?"
The smiles froze on their faces, and his father hurried to answer.
"I sent him out of the city on an errand this morning. Daughter-in-law, I'll send someone to fetch him right away."
"Hah!" Li Qingrong sneered.
Not home this early in the morning? Was he in some girl's bed at the Drunken Red Pavilion,
calling me an idiot right now?
"To the Drunken Red Pavilion." Li Qingrong turned and left, ordering a guard to grab a spectator from the roadside to show them the way.
Seeing her head straight for the Drunken Red Pavilion, Peng Liangyi's parents paled.
They tried to step forward and block her path.
One of the guards shoved them aside, leaving them utterly powerless to resist.
Li Qingrong stormed into the Drunken Red Pavilion with her people. The madam had been about to stop her, only to notice the ten Divine Incarnation guards behind this furious young woman.
She immediately backed down.
"Where's Peng Liangyi?"
Peng Liangyi? That young master of the Peng Family who had suddenly become outrageously generous?
The madam remembered Peng Liangyi well. He used to be flat broke, but half a year ago, he had suddenly started throwing money around as if he'd struck it rich.
One night, he had even ordered ten girls at once.
He had also given her a large sum to keep quiet, forbidding them from telling anyone that he spent his time enjoying himself at the Drunken Red Pavilion.
Now the madam finally understood.
So he had suddenly found himself a woman to live off, only for her to discover it and come settle the score.
"Miss, I'll take you there. That freeloader Peng Liangyi is upstairs!"
The madam had been quite frightened at the sight of those ten Divine Incarnation guards.
But once she realized there was a spectacle to watch, her fear vanished, and excitement coursed through her.
Hehe! Catching a cheater in the act! My favorite!
Watching the madam's sparkling eyes, Li Qingrong couldn't help twitching her lips.
She followed the madam upstairs. Just as she reached Peng Liangyi's door, she heard several arrogant remarks from inside.
"Hmph! I've got Li Qingrong wrapped around my finger. She actually thinks I'd love a haughty heiress like her."
"If she weren't the daughter of Azure City's city lord, handing over cultivation resources like spirit stones, pills, and Talismans of her own accord, I wouldn't even bother with her."
"A woman, constantly parading herself around in public. She spends all day hanging around those damned men from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. If you ask me, women should stay home, serve their husbands, and raise their children."
Inside, Peng Liangyi expounded on his views, looking thoroughly pleased with himself.
Several disreputable friends chimed in.
"You're right, Brother Peng."
"Who knows which men those women are trying to seduce, showing their faces in public all day."
"Brother Peng, if you ask me, once you marry that heiress Li Qingrong, you'll have to keep her firmly under control. Show her that a wife must obey her husband."
"Exactly. How could a woman possibly serve as Azure City's young city lord? Once you become the city lord's son-in-law, Brother Peng, the position will be yours for the taking."
"Brother Peng, don't forget us when you strike it rich. Once you're city lord, you must give us brothers a helping hand."
The men drank, each with two girls from the Drunken Red Pavilion in his arms.
Listening to their words, the girls discreetly rolled their eyes.
Their flattery left Peng Liangyi floating on air. His once handsome face was filled with smug arrogance, as though he had already become Azure City's city lord.
He waved a hand grandly, trying to look impressive, but only looking like a ridiculous clown.
"Of course. Follow me from now on, and I'll make sure you live in luxury."
The girl in his arms rolled her eyes and sneered inwardly.
Was Azure City's heiress blind? How could she fancy trash like this?
If he weren't a paying customer, they wouldn't want such a filthy man even for free. He was disgusting and bad luck.
Just as the men were about to continue indulging their lofty ambitions,
Bang! With a deafening crash, a furious Li Qingrong kicked the door open.
Enraged at having his fun interrupted, Peng Liangyi snapped, "What blind fool dares disturb me—"
Halfway through, he saw Li Qingrong enter through the doorway, and his expression froze.
He hastily shoved the girl in his arms to the floor, and she muttered a curse under her breath: "Classless, filthy bastard."
"Rong'er, what brings you here?"
"Rong'er, it's not what you think. I haven't done anything to betray you. You know men have to socialize when they're out."
Peng Liangyi made his gaze as tender as possible and even reached out to embrace her.
"Hah!"
Li Qingrong sneered and dodged him, then suddenly raised her leg and kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying out the window.
"Aaaah!" An agonized scream rang out.
Li Qingrong kicked Peng Liangyi from the second floor onto the street below, sending dust billowing everywhere.
She leaped down from the second floor, and her ten guards followed, taking up positions behind her.
"Fuck!"
"You filthy, classless bastard! You dared betray me? Have you got a death wish?"
The hot-tempered Li Qingrong went straight to work, kicking Peng Liangyi again and again.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
As she kicked, she furiously berated him without mercy.
"You even covet my position as Azure City's city lord? Have I let you get above yourself? Even if we held a Dao companion ceremony, I'd be the one marrying you! Taking you in as a live-in husband! At most, you're just a little plaything I picked up."
"A little plaything, and you dare go looking for women behind my back? And you fucking got ten at once!"
Peng Liangyi trembled with pain. Li Qingrong's cultivation was higher than his, and she held nothing back, making every kick as vicious as she could.
"Aaaah! Qingrong, I was wrong! I was wrong! I'll never do it again!"
As soon as Li Qingrong began brutally kicking Peng Liangyi, the nearby cultivators who heard the commotion dropped whatever they were doing and raced over to watch.
The madam and the girls of the Drunken Red Pavilion crowded the windows, tugging and shoving one another to secure a good view.
Even the pavilion's customers pulled the girls along to find themselves good spots.
Now, hearing that the bastard on the ground had sought out girls behind his woman's back—and ten at once—everyone began trying to "break up" the fight.
"Good kick! Kick him to death!"
"Kick there, right there! That spot hurts the most!"
"Serves him right!"
The madam of the Drunken Red Pavilion was the most enthusiastic of them all.
"Miss Li, beat that freeloader to death! Living off a woman and still fooling around? He deserves a beating!"
