Chapter 573: Chapter 573: Beating with Clubs Chapter 573: Chapter 573: Beating with Clubs “Your mom’s fart, when have I ever been involved with you?”
Madam Ruan’s eyes were blazing fire as she furiously glared at Ruan Xinzhi, the damned bastard. She had asked him for help, but not only had he not helped, he had instead tarnished her reputation. As a woman of virtue, if her reputation was destroyed, how could she ever live on?
At this moment, Madam Ruan hated Ruan Xinzhi to the bone and wished she could strangle him with her own hands to stop his nonsense.
“Baby, why are you being so fierce to me?” Suddenly, Ruan Xinzhi pounced forward and tightly embraced Madam Ruan.
The crowd gasped in shock, finding his boldness outrageous, publicly displaying affection right before their eyes.
Madam Ruan was well aware that under everyone’s watchful eyes, she couldn’t let this villain ruin her. Thus, she struggled fiercely, but in vain, as she was no match for Ruan Xinzhi and remained tightly held in his embrace, unable to move an inch.
Indeed, the Ruan Xinzhi they now saw was no longer ordinary; he was Xiao Taohong, the little ghost. She had been cultivating day and night in the space, and her cultivation had almost caught up to that of the centuries-old Old Ghost. Naturally, her strength was immense, not something a mere mortal like Madam Ruan could contend with.
To outsiders, they appeared to be intimately embracing each other.
However, in reality, Madam Ruan was being strangled to the point of nearly suffocating, her face turning pale, and her eyes rolling back, she was about to faint.
“You adulterous pair, I’ll kill you both!” Mo Daoyan, standing in the crowd, unable to bear the provocation, picked up a wooden stick from the ground and charged forward like a madman.
The situation was turning dire.
Xiao Taohong quickly leapt from Ruan Xinzhi’s body and swiftly floated beside Xuexue, while complaining, “Ah! My dear, your uncle is so fierce, you scared the baby to death.”
Xuexue found it amusing inside. A man unexpectedly subject to cuckoldry, even the best-tempered man would not stand for it; a beating would be the least of it, the worst could involve drowning in a pig cage.
“You got away pretty fast, huh?” Xuexue glanced at her sideways and teased.
“Well, yeah, I’m not about to get beaten with a stick,” Xiao Taohong floated in mid-air, proudly stated.
“Hey! Are you really eating candles?” Suddenly, Xuexue remembered this detail and looked up at Xiao Taohong to ask.
“Yeah.”
“I’ve never fed you a candle, haven’t you starved?” After all, Xiao Taohong had been cultivating in the space for months, and Xuexue hadn’t offered even a single candle.
“The space is filled with Spiritual Energy, it doesn’t really matter if I don’t eat.”
“So, you could eat, but it also doesn’t matter if you don’t?”
“Right.”
“So that’s how it is!” Xuexue finally breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise, constantly buying candles would arouse suspicion; she couldn’t let the outside world know she had a little ghost with her.
“Ah…!”
Suddenly a painful scream echoed into Xuexue’s ears. Turning her head, she immediately couldn’t bear to look and raised her hand to cover her eyes, “Oh my, oh my! That’s too horrible.”
She saw the Fake Monk Ruan Xinzhi getting cracked on the head with a stick by Mo Daoyan, blood gushing as he lay on the ground, clutching his head and howling in pain—the scene was truly pitiful.
Madam Ruan seized the moment to wriggle out of his embrace.
Mo Daoyan’s eyes were blazing as he relentlessly hit Madam Ruan too while furiously shouting, “You filthy woman, cheating on me, betraying our Mo family, engaging in such indecent acts, how is our son supposed to face his exams? I’ll beat you to death.”
“Husband, husband, listen to me, I didn’t do anything to wrong you, it’s all this bastard’s false accusations,” Madam Ruan shielded her head with her hands as she tried to flee and explain.
At this moment, Mo Daoyan was blinded by rage, deaf to any explanations.
He charged and continued to beat her mercilessly with the stick.
