Chapter 173: Who the Hell Is This? Hitting My Senior Sister?
============================================================
"Thank you, Master's Wife!" Ye Qinghan and Su Muchan nearly shouted in unison. The moment the words left their mouths, Ye Qinghan shot Su Muchan a look that screamed, "Are you serious?"
But only after the master's wife vanished from sight did he finally relax.
"Seriously, Su Muchan, have you no shame? Who the hell is your master's wife?!"
Su Muchan was as cocky as ever, acting like she owned the place!
"What? Your butt doesn't hurt anymore? Forgot what the Master's Wife said?"
"She said not to kill you, but she never said not to beat you!"
Ye Qinghan was seething with rage. After enduring a day of willow-branch beatings, she'd been itching to take it out on someone!
"If you've got the guts, let's settle this one-on-one. No more relying on those magical artifacts!"
"Damn it, you think I'm scared of you?"
As the magical artifact and jade pendant drifted slowly from the air and landed on a nearby stone, the scene shifted once more. The ground, earlier ravaged beyond recognition by sword qi and snow projectiles, instantly transformed back into a snowy landscape—just as it had been when the two first arrived!
Ye Qinghan had no time to ponder her master's wife's supernatural abilities. Her top priority now was to beat the crap out of Su Muchan!
Whether or not she'd seduced her master could wait—first, she needed to vent her anger!
Su Muchan felt the same way. Put away the sword and supernatural abilities—how about a fistfight?
Hmph, she was demonic!
She'd grown up slaughtering her way through piles of corpses since childhood!
Without a second thought, they clashed in the snow. Ye Qinghan struck first, yanking Su Muchan's hair as she launched a Black Tiger Heart-Punch!
Though she claimed not to kill, every move she made was lethal!
Could Su Muchan endure such humiliation?
Su Muchan crouched low and delivered a sweeping kick!
They rolled through the snow, pounding each other relentlessly!
By the end, there were no techniques left. They simply grabbed each other's hair and pounded away at their opponent's weak spots!
They were both cultivators—what weaknesses could they possibly have?
The only vulnerability was that their behinds hadn't yet recovered from the swelling…
They didn't care, but this scene nearly scared the wits out of the child who'd come looking for them!
Li Shiyao, having noticed her senior sister hadn't returned for a while, informed their master before coming to look for her.
She also came to relay their master's message: to tell her senior sister not to kill Su Muchan. But the moment she arrived, she witnessed the two of them locked in a brutal, bone-crunching brawl!
After the brawl, Ye Qinghan and Su Muchan both had disheveled hair and eyes blazing with fury, looking like female ghosts!
Who the hell is this, attacking my senior sister?
"Senior Sister!"
What a loyal junior sister! Could Li Shiyu just stand by and watch?
She shouted first, then grabbed the Chaos Bell, ready to intervene!
"Ye Qinghan, are you a sore loser?!"
"Shiyao, help me! Hit her butt!"
Li Shiyao froze, then put away the Chaos Bell. Her little brain spun as she thought, Is this what they call a snowball fight?
So it was just a battle in the snow!
Ah, so that's it. Though Shiyu was a bit scared, she was on the same team as her senior sister!
What the hell was there to be scared of!
Su Muchan was speechless. This Ye Qinghan never played by the rules!
At first, Su Muchan and Ye Qinghan had a back-and-forth exchange!
But things changed when Li Shiyu arrived!
No matter how foolish or clueless Li Shiyu might be, she was still here to assist Ye Qinghan!
Most crucially, Li Shiyao had no weaknesses!
After their trials in the secret realm, Ye Qinghan and Li Shiyao worked together flawlessly, giving Su Muchan a thorough beating!
Li Shiyao mounted Su Muchan's back, pinning her arms down!
Ye Qinghan then unleashed a barrage of attacks, targeting her weak points relentlessly!
Hearing Su Muchan's agonized screams, Li Shiyao felt a pang of pity and asked,
"Senior Sister, isn't this a bit too cruel?"
"No big deal. She's demonic—she can take it!"
Li Shiyao nodded thoughtfully, thinking to herself how formidable demons truly were!
Even getting spanked like this, she can endure it!
"Fuck that! Ye Qinghan, you're fucking playing dirty!"
Ye Qinghan grabbed a willow branch and lashed out again!
"Still acting tough?"
"Ye Qinghan, if you've got the guts, fight me one-on-one! Calling for backup shows you've got no skills!"
"Shiyao is my junior sister. Of course she's on my side! Why would I pick a fight one-on-one when I can gang up on you? Are you fucking brainless?"
Honestly, it was only because Su Cheng arrived quickly that Su Muchan didn't get beaten for who knows how long!
Seeing their master descend from the sky with Yu Lan and Xu Zhanfeng, Ye Qinghan delivered one final, vicious lash with the willow branch before finally stopping…
"Master Su, waaah!"
Su Cheng was stunned. She remembered calling Li Shiyao to break up the fight…
She never imagined these two would gang up on Su Muchan!
The crucial thing was, Shiyu wasn't that kind of child!
Su Muchan scrambled to her feet in the snow and rushed into Su Cheng's arms, her eyes brimming with the deepest sense of injustice!
"Master Su, Muchan never meant to hurt either of my sisters! Waaah!"
Shiyao stood to the side with her adorable, wide-eyed expression, craning her little head to speak with Yulan.
"Sister Yulan, snowball fights are so much fun~"
Ye Qinghan stood nearby, mimicking Shiyao's act of feigning innocence.
"Sister Yulan, snowball fights are so much fun~"
Su Muchan was utterly heartbroken, tears the size of beans streaming down her face!
What kind of nonsense is this! There's not a single decent soul in Lingxian Hall!
"My apologies, Miss Muchan. It's all my fault for failing to discipline them properly. I'll certainly teach them a lesson when I return."
Su Muchan thought to herself, Can you really discipline them?
If you don't go back and praise them for beating me up, that'll be something!
"Er… well, that might be going too far. Could I ask you for a favor, Master Su?"
"What is it?"
"Mu Chan never harbors ill will toward anyone. It's just that Sister Qinghan might hold a prejudice against the demon clan. Could I ask Master Su to explain on Mu Chan's behalf? She truly isn't a bad person!"
Su Cheng listened. Truth be told, this Su Muchan was quite clever. She likely knew of his partiality toward his disciples and simply wanted him to make a promise.
It wasn't a big deal. This guarantee was just a word.
"Qinghan, you're slightly older than Mu Chan. Shouldn't you be fostering sisterhood? How could you bully others alongside Shiyao?"
Ye Qinghan couldn't care less about all that nonsense. She was just trying to smooth things over.
"Hehe, Master, we were just having a snowball fight! Ask Shiyu if you don't believe us~"
Li Shiyu poked her head out, chiming in!
"That's right, Master! Snowball fights are so much fun! But Shiyu wants to team up with Senior Sister!"
Su Cheng smiled and gently pinched Ye Qinghan's little nose.
"Qinghan, don't you think I know you well enough?"
Ye Qinghan smiled and nodded. "Qinghan humbly obeys the Master's teachings."
Su Muchan felt even more determined now. Just as her master's wife had disciplined her with willow branches for her studies, Ye Qinghan's recent punishment wouldn't go to waste either!
She was determined to become a disciple of Lingxian Hall!
"Speaking of which, Qinghan, why have you come to the Northern Realm instead of staying at Lingxian Hall? The Ling Mountain martial arts competition is just days away. Don't you plan to attend?"
Truth be told, Ye Qinghan had completely forgotten about the tournament!
After her injuries healed, she entered the secret realm. Upon emerging, she rushed straight to the Northern Domain—she truly hadn't been idle!
"With my Master tirelessly working on my behalf, how could I possibly stand idly by?"
Ye Qinghan paused, then spoke again after a moment's thought: "If possible, Qinghan wishes to take revenge with her own hands."
[No, if Qinghan learns that the Holy Mountain was involved in what happened back then, it might… ]
Upon hearing this, Ye Qinghan first glanced at Shi Yao, then fixed her gaze squarely on Su Muchan!
There was another person here who could hear the Master's thoughts!
