“Senior, please show mercy. This old man failed to recognise your greatness. I will discipline my grandson severely when I return.”
Man Feng was, after all, an experienced expert. Unlike the idiot Manyuan, the instant Yue Nü made her move he realised he was no match for this woman.
After all that, the person he had looked down on most turned out to be the greatest threat.
“Old man? In my presence, you are not qualified to call yourself that. Moreover, whom I choose to discipline is none of your business. If I kill your grandson today, he will have brought it upon himself. If you dare plead for him, I will make the entire Black Python family vanish from the Profound World!”
Yue Nü leaned lightly against the chair and spoke in an indifferent tone.
She did not even glance at Man Feng from beginning to end.
These harsh, overbearing words caused Man Feng’s face to alternate between green and white.
Ever since the Black Python family was established, he, Man Feng, had never suffered such humiliation. No one had ever dared speak to him like this.
“What are you staring at me for? Hurry up and bring back the herbs. Return every single one you took. You have one quarter of an hour. If they are not here by then, I do not mind wiping out your entire family.”
Yue Nü’s voice remained utterly calm, her expression as serene as still water. No matter how ugly Man Feng’s face became, she gave him no face at all.
“You are indeed a powerhouse, but to humiliate me like this, are you not being a little too arrogant? Do you truly believe I fear you?”
Man Feng was, after all, a domineering and tyrannical man who had run rampant in Sin City for many years.
Yue Nü’s earlier words had long caused him to lose his composure and reason.
There is a limit to what one can endure.
Frost covered his face. Behind him, the faint shadow of a black python emerged. The old fellow was about to attack.
“Seeking death. Sigh.”
Hearing Man Feng’s words, Ling Xiao shook his head.
Offending him would have been one thing, but offending Yue Nü? That was simply courting death.
Yue Nü gently raised her head, looked at Man Feng, and softly parted her lips. “Are you serious?”
“Exactly. Even if you are a dragon, you must coil up when you come to Sin City!”
Since he had already said those earlier words, Man Feng no longer feared offending Yue Nü.
“Very well.”
Yue Nü gave a cold laugh, lifted her jade hand, and aimed straight at Manyuan, who was pinned to the ceiling.
“Stop!”
The moment Yue Nü moved, Man Feng roared. His body shot forward and clawed towards the back of her head, attempting to force her to save his grandson instead.
Yue Nü kept her indifferent expression. Her jade hand remained raised.
Man Feng’s attack was still mid-flight when Manyuan’s head was already separated from his body.
Then, impossibly, Yue Nü turned again and lightly patted Man Feng’s chest with her palm.
That speed was simply unfathomable.
Even Ling Xiao, who was usually proud of his own speed, felt his blood race with excitement. Watching Yue Nü act made him deeply envious.
Boom!
Although Yue Nü’s hand had struck lightly, Man Feng’s situation was miserable. The inner energy that had surged out of him was forcibly driven back into his body.
It exploded inside him.
In an instant, blood poured from all seven orifices. The sight was extremely wretched.
Only because Man Feng’s body was tough enough did he merely suffer heavy injury. Otherwise, he would probably have been blasted into pieces.
Man Yuntu, standing behind Man Feng, was stunned speechless.
With such a casual move, she had beheaded Manyuan and gravely wounded Man Feng.
Just how terrifying was this woman?
His body began to shake violently, like a sieve.
“Father, are you alright?”
Only after a long while did Man Yuntu think to help Man Feng up, but his eyes remained fixed on Yue Nü, terrified she would attack again.
Yue Nü, however, had no intention of striking further. She simply sat there, nestling against Ling Xiao like an obedient little lamb.
It was as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with her.
“Yin-Yang realm expert!”
Man Feng did not even spare a glance for his dead grandson. He stared at Yue Nü in horror.
Such a powerful existence would not number more than twelve across the entire Tianlong Continent and Divine Phoenix Continent!
He had not even seen how she attacked before he was already injured. Compared to his physical wounds, the fear deep in his heart was far greater.
“His death is your responsibility.”
Yue Nü glanced indifferently glanced at Man Feng and said, “I do not need to repeat myself, do I? Two minutes of your quarter-hour have already passed. If those herbs are not here when time is up, even if I have to slaughter my way into the Black Python family, I will take your life.”
At this moment, there was not the slightest hatred in Man Feng’s heart, only pure terror.
He even felt some resentment towards his grandson Manyuan. How had the idiot provoked such a terrifying figure?
“Yuntu, hurry! Go fetch the herbs, now!”
Man Feng roared at Man Yuntu.
“Yes, Father!”
Man Yuntu also understood that this woman was absolutely not joking. With such overwhelming strength, taking their lives would be child’s play.
He turned and frantically ran out of the room.
Watching this family flee in such a sorry state, Princess Yun Ya felt extremely satisfied.
She had warned them long ago not to offend Ling Xiao, yet they had refused to listen.
She had heard of Yue Nü’s strength before but had never witnessed it personally. Seeing it today, she suddenly felt that Yue Nü might be even more frightening than the rumours suggested.
Just how had Ling Xiao managed to turn such a terrifying existence into his girlfriend?
Princess Yun Ya found it somewhat incomprehensible. The whole thing felt unbelievable.
“Man Feng, are you not going to deal with your grandson’s corpse? Or are you waiting for me to clean it up for you?”
She looked at Man Feng and spoke.
“I will do it.”
Even now, Man Feng felt as though he were having a nightmare, except it was a waking nightmare.
Because of his impulsiveness and recklessness, his grandson had been killed and he himself gravely injured.
There truly were people in this world one could not afford to provoke. Once you offended such a person, even if you suffered grievance, you could only endure it.
There was no choice. Strength was everything.
“By the way, Yun Ya, your Tianlong Trading Company has such an extensive network. Could you help me look for anything that can remove the ancient seal within my body?”
Yue Nü suddenly turned to Yun Ya and asked.
In the past, she had long lost any pursuit in life, so she had not cared much about raising her strength or bothered to lift the seal on her body.
But now it was different.
She had Ling Xiao.
She wanted her strength to keep growing, at the very least to recover the cultivation she had possessed in the Primordial Era.
That way, she could better protect Ling Xiao.
Although she knew that, with Ling Xiao’s talent, he would probably soon reach her current level and even surpass her.
Still, she wanted to help her man as much as she possibly could.
That was now the sole purpose of her existence.
