"I'm telling you, today, even if you wanted to escape, you wouldn't be able to!"
With that, he swung his arm.
He was about to slap Ye Qingli again.
But this time, Ye Qingli caught his wrist.
*Slap!*
Ye Qingli slapped him hard.
Then, she grabbed his neck!
*Pfft!*
Ye Chengye spewed a mouthful of blood!
His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Ye Qingli!
"You, you... you dare to hit me?"
"I dare to hit you!"
Ye Qingli unhesitatingly dug her fingers deep into his flesh!
She squeezed Ye Chengye's throat with all her might!
Madness flashed in her eyes!
She wished she could kill this bastard right away!
Ye Chengye felt a piercing pain in his neck.
His eyes widened in terror.
"You, you dare to harm me! I'm your father!"
"Hmph!"
Ye Qingli squeezed his throat hard.
*Pfft!*
Ye Chengye's throat was snapped!
A mouthful of blood gushed from his throat!
"Ah!"
"Master!"
The guards around cried out in alarm.
"You dare to harm your master, I'll kill you!"
They drew their swords and surrounded Ye Qingli!
Ye Qingli leaped onto a wooden table!
*Swish swish swish swish!*
Sharp blades instantly pierced through the paper-covered tabletop!
Nailing Ye Qingli to it!
"Hmph! I knew you would turn on me!"
Ye Qingli sneered.
She took out a golden plaque from her embrace.
"Do you recognize this golden plaque?"
Ye Chengye was stunned.
Greed flickered in his eyes.
"Although I don't know what this is, just one glance tells me it's an imperial decree from the palace!"
"You have some insight. However, let me tell you, this golden plaque was not bestowed by the Emperor, but by myself. You won't be able to make anything out of it!"
"Hmph!"
Ye Chengye sneered.
"So what? This is just an ordinary object. I don't believe you can use it as a life-saving charm."
*Slap!*
Ye Qingli slapped him again!
"This is the second slap."
She said calmly, "Let me tell you, you'll never succeed. I not only have the Emperor's token, but also the token of the Divine Doctor Academy's protector! If you dare to kill me, the Divine Doctor Academy will never let you go!"
With that, she slapped him again!
*Slap!*
The other side of Ye Chengye's face swelled up high.
"Why aren't you acting?"
Ye Chengye said furiously.
"Yes, Master."
Two guards rushed forward.
Ye Qingli leaped up!
Then, with a left hook, she fiercely smashed into the bridge of one of the guards' noses!
*Slap!*
The guard's nose collapsed, and blood gushed out.
*Thump!*
He sat down on the ground!
"Damn it, she knows martial arts?"
"Master, you should run!"
The other guard shouted.
"Hmph!"
Ye Chengye was in a bad mood.
He ignored the guards' shouts.
He rushed directly to Ye Qingli and grabbed her collar!
"Bitch, not only did you hit me, but you want to kill me! I'll make sure to skin you alive to quell my anger today!"
*Slap!*
He raised his hand!
And savagely slapped Ye Qingli across the face.
*Slap slap slap slap slap...*
Ye Qingli blocked his hand with her face, not uttering a word.
"Bitch, are you mute?"
Ye Chengye cursed furiously!
His hands flailed, slapping Ye Qingli's face like firecrackers!
"I'll beat you to death, you little bastard!"
*Slap! Slap! Slap!*
Ye Chengye cursed as he slapped!
But every slap that landed on Ye Qingli's face was in vain!
"Bitch, I'll beat you to death!"
*Slap! Slap! Slap...*
*Slap!*
*Slap! Slap! Slap!*
Ye Chengye became more and more excited as he slapped.
His face was already swollen and distorted.
But he still didn't stop.
Because his mind was filled with the images of Ye Qingli injuring him.
He wanted to teach her a harsh lesson!
Let her know the price of defying him!
*Slap! Slap!*
*Slap!*
Ye Chengye became more and more agitated as he slapped!
After more than ten consecutive slaps, he finally felt tired.
Then, he threw Ye Qingli away!
"Fine, since you refuse a toast and prefer to be toasted, then I won't be polite!"
He suddenly pointed his long sword at Ye Qingli!
*Swish swish swish!*
Three sharp steel needles shot out from the sword!
Ye Qingli's face turned pale.
She gritted her teeth, gathering all her strength into the dagger in her hand.
Preparing to clash head-on with these steel needles!
But at this moment, Ye Qingli suddenly heard familiar footsteps.
A cold wind blew from behind her!
Then, her waist was firmly embraced.
Next, she felt a warm current surge into her dantian.
The restless true qi instantly calmed down.
"You bunch of fools, who gave you the guts to rough up your master?"
A deep male voice echoed.
His figure flickered, seeming to disappear at any moment.
"Greetings, Young Master!"
The three guards all knelt on the ground.
Looking extremely respectful.
"Hmm, you may leave."
"Yes!"
They bowed and exited the room, closing the door behind them.
It was then that Ye Chengye realized he had hit the wrong person.
He quickly put on a fawning expression!
"Young Master, why have you come? Please save your servant."
"Young Master..."
*Slap!*
Ye Chengye's right cheek received five long red marks from Ye Qingli's slap.
"Go back and control your lackeys. If there's a next time, you know I won't mind sending you on your way."
Ye Chengye quickly scurried away.
"Miss, are you alright?"
Ye Qingli shook her head.
"I'm fine."
"Please excuse yourself for a moment. I need to take a bath."
She sheathed her dagger and then entered the bathtub.
Warm water enveloped Ye Qingli.
She slowly closed her eyes.
She needed some time to recover her spiritual power.
At this moment, she could no longer use the Spiritual Control Ring to control this body.
So, she had to recover her spiritual power as quickly as possible!
*Tap tap tap...*
At this moment, there was a knock on the door from outside.
"Young Master, do you need a bath?"
"No, I'll be out soon."
Her voice was clear, as if transmitted through the roof to Ye Chengye, who was outside.
He couldn't help but shiver!
This girl's strength was terrifying!
What kind of demonic arts had she learned?
*Bang!*
Ye Chengye raised his hand and slapped the wall.
*Slap slap slap slap slap...*
He smashed everything within his reach.
"Young Master, what's wrong?"
A maid hurried in.
Then, she was astonished to find wisps of black smoke rising from the Young Master's room.
"Heavens, Young Master, what's going on?"
Ye Chengye's eyes were wide.
He didn't notice his own hand emitting smoke.
Only after the smoke dissipated did he realize with horror
His hand was covered in burn marks!
One of his fingernails had been completely burned off!
His arm felt as if it no longer belonged to him, throbbing with pain!
He reached out to touch it in disbelief.
