Whoosh!
Dragon Lady stepped in front of Ye Wudi, striking with her palm.
Slap!
Ye Wudi was sent flying, crashing to the ground over ten metres away, blood gushing from his mouth.
A flicker of reluctance passed through Dragon Lady’s eyes as she said, “Ye Wudi, I’ll give you a chance.”
“If you marry me, I can let today’s matter slide!”
Ye Wudi propped himself up with the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, stood, and pointed at Dragon Lady, shouting, “I won’t marry you, you tigress. If you’ve got the guts, kill me!”
Already fuming, Dragon Lady’s rage boiled over at hearing “tigress” again.
She attacked once more.
Boom!
Ye Wudi was kicked away by her.
“Ye Wudi, I won’t force you to marry me anymore. Just say you love me, and I’ll let you go,” Dragon Lady said.
“No way! Would I, Ye Wudi, ever fear a woman’s threats?”
“Hmph, if you won’t say it, I’ll beat you until you do.”
The ensuing fight was almost too brutal to watch.
Each time Dragon Lady struck, Ye Wudi was sent flying.
Again and again.
The gap in their cultivation was vast. Dragon Lady was like an adult, while Ye Wudi was like a toddler just learning to walk, only able to take the blows.
By the end, Dragon Lady lost count of how many times she had struck.
Thirty? Forty?
Seeing Ye Wudi covered in wounds, Dragon Lady felt a pang in her heart and asked, “Ye Wudi, is it really so hard to say you love me?”
Ye Wudi replied, “I, Ye Wudi, live uprightly and never speak against my heart.”
Dragon Lady said, “If you say you love me, I won’t strike you anymore.”
“I don’t love you, and no amount of forcing will make me say it.”
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll beat you to death?”
“A real man fears not death! In eighteen years, I’ll be a hero again!”
“You’re infuriating me!” Dragon Lady launched a fierce kick at Ye Wudi.
Ye Wudi was sent flying, and as he hit the ground, a “crack” sounded, followed by sharp pain under his ribs.
Two ribs had broken.
Blood not only trickled from his mouth, staining the ground, but also flowed from his nostrils.
Seeing his pitiful state, Dragon Lady panicked and rushed to help him up, only to be shoved away by Ye Wudi. “Don’t touch me!”
Ignoring him, Dragon Lady grabbed his arms and said softly, “I shouldn’t have hit you so hard. It’s my fault. I’m sorry.”
Ye Wudi was surprised. He hadn’t expected an apology from Dragon Lady, but he wasn’t swayed. “Don’t try that with me. Am I supposed to say I love you now?”
Dragon Lady quickly explained, “You’ve misunderstood. I genuinely want to apologise.”
“I won’t force you anymore.”
“Will you forgive me?”
Her tone carried a hint of pleading, her voice tender, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears, utterly captivating.
“I hate women like you, putting on this fake act. It’s disgusting,” Ye Wudi cursed without mercy.
Dragon Lady wasn’t angered and continued, “Ye Wudi, whether you believe me or not, I need to tell you: my feelings for you are real. I truly like you.”
With that, she reached out and tapped Ye Wudi’s acupoints.
Instantly, he was immobilised.
“What are you doing?” Ye Wudi roared.
Dragon Lady said nothing, only drawing closer to him.
Ye Wudi, who never feared death, felt a surge of panic at that moment and shouted, “Get away from me!”
The next second, his voice stopped.
Dragon Lady sealed his lips with her own.
Ye Wudi’s mind went blank, buzzing with shock.
Ten seconds later, their lips parted. Dragon Lady, slightly shy, asked, “How did it feel?”
Snapping back, Ye Wudi bellowed, “You vile woman!”
“You’ve defiled my purity!”
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
His eyes blazed red, like an enraged lion.
Dragon Lady was a bit surprised. Why was he so angry?
Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she asked, “Was that your first kiss?”
Instantly, Ye Wudi’s face flushed red.
“It really was your first kiss! Hahaha!” Dragon Lady laughed uncontrollably.
Ye Wudi was both humiliated and furious, wanting to kill her. His pure life, ruined by Dragon Lady. Such hatred, such rage!
“Alright, time to get to business, or Xiao Jiu and the others will escape back to the Northern Territory.”
With that, Dragon Lady hoisted Ye Wudi onto her shoulder.
“What are you doing? Put me down!” Ye Wudi shouted.
“Come, join me to kill some people.” Like a gust of wind, Dragon Lady sped towards the Northern Territory.
Ye Qiu sprinted forward desperately, using every trick to escape.
Finally, the border was within sight.
He saw Xiao Jiu and the others.
At that moment, Xiao Jiu, Qinglong, and Qilin were standing on the border of Hua Nation.
“Why are you still here?” Ye Qiu asked.
“We were waiting for you,” Qilin replied. “Where’s Ye Wudi?”
“Ye Wudi, he—” Before Ye Qiu could finish, Dragon Lady’s voice came from behind.
“Ye Wudi is with me.”
Everyone looked up to see Dragon Lady a hundred metres away, carrying Ye Wudi on her shoulder, charging towards them like lightning.
“Run!” Ye Qiu shouted to the group.
“You can’t escape. Just accept your death!” Dragon Lady closed in on the border with a few flashes. One more step, and she’d cross into Hua Nation’s territory.
“Stop!”
Xiao Jiu’s deep shout rang out as he pointed at the border line. “Dragon Lady, you’re the leader of Brahmin. You can’t cross the border without permission.”
“Otherwise, you’ll be the cause of a conflict between our nations.”
Dragon Lady scoffed, “Xiao Jiu, you’re overthinking. If I kill you all here, who will know I crossed the border?”
“Besides, you killed so many of my subordinates on my nation’s soil. Why shouldn’t I step into Hua Nation to kill you? What kind of logic is that?”
“In short, you all must die today. I will avenge my subordinates.”
With that, Dragon Lady lifted her foot to cross the border.
At that moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out: “Dragon Lady, if you dare step into Hua Nation’s territory, I will kill you.”
The voice was like heavenly thunder, resounding through the skies.
Dragon Lady paused, turning to see a figure standing on a rock a hundred metres away.
The man wore a spotless white cloth robe, blending seamlessly with the snow, his presence flawless.
He faced away from them, hands behind his back, his spine straight as a divine sword.
Though he emitted no terrifying aura, he gave off an unfathomable sense.
A trace of caution flashed in Dragon Lady’s eyes as she asked, “Who are you?”
“Who am I? Hahaha, that’s a good question.” The man laughed heartily. “Of the three million masters in the world, all must bow before me.”
“Listen well, Dragon Lady.”
“My name is Ye Wushuang!”
