Chapter 115: The Su Family's Daughter-in-Law Is Away
============================================================
"What else should Shiyu call her if not senior sister?"
"Zhanfeng dares not speculate, but since Immortal Ye is a direct disciple of Lingxian Hall, as an attendant, I naturally wouldn't dare delay."
Xu Zhanfeng dared not speak carelessly. If that little fool ever repeated this to Immortal Ye or Master Su, it would spell disaster for him!
So he could only choose a tactful way to steer the conversation. If Second Madam was just calling it for fun, he could explain that Immortal Ye had urgent matters and didn't need to be given special consideration.
If Li Shiyu truly became Lingxian Hall's Second Madam, Fairy Ye wouldn't blame him for helping her!
Li Shiyao understood at once!
She slowly loosened the straps of her one-shoulder top, then pulled a jade pendant from her bosom!
With an air of smug superiority, she raised it toward Xu Zhanfeng!
With a hint of displeasure, she declared, "Shiyao wants you to beat him up for me!"
Xu Zhanfeng glanced at the jade pendant.
No problem! Truly worthy of being Zhanfeng's Second Grandma! Even if she wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, she sure knew how to carry herself!
"Watch closely, Second Lady. If Zhanfeng doesn't knock his head askew, you can take Zhanfeng's head away!"
Liu Jingcheng thought to himself, What the hell…
But there was no time for deep thought. Xu Zhanfeng was a man of few words and many deeds—he charged forward and swung his blade!
Xu Zhanfeng was a great power at the Fusion Stage! Had he not remained in Lingxian Hall, wherever he went, he would have been a force to be reckoned with, towering above tens of thousands!
For Xu Zhanfeng, it was a choice between being the head of a chicken or the tail of a phoenix.
But Xu Zhanfeng disdained associating with the weak. Years of experience taught him that only by following the strong could one grow stronger.
Fixating on the immediate would ultimately mean failing to grasp even the most insignificant things before him.
"Second Madam, how should I dispose of him to satisfy your anger?"
Xu Zhanfeng wasn't new to being a lackey. He knew exactly how to handle a child like Shi Yao!
"Shiyao wants to spank his bottom!"
"Got it! Second Madam, just watch!"
Liu Jingcheng truly felt overwhelmed. Xu Zhanfeng, wielding the God-Slaying Blade, advanced like a whirlwind, landing critical hits with every strike!
This was Xu Zhanfeng's first real battle since obtaining the Dragon Abyss God-Slaying Blade!
After just two swings, he couldn't help but marvel inwardly! Truly a divine-grade artifact! It felt so effortless! As if it had been forged specifically for him!
Ye Qinghan sensed something amiss. A strange magical fluctuation, not belonging to Liu Jingcheng or Li Shiyao, appeared in the distance…
Following the sound, he ran over and heard…
"Right, right! Hit him harder! Spank his butt!"
Then he saw Liu Jingcheng pinned to the table, getting his butt spanked. Ye Qinghan couldn't help but think that if anyone deserved to be called humiliating, it was definitely Li Shiyao!
Xu Zhanfeng held Liu Jingcheng down, delivering hard blows with the back of his knife! Li Shiyao even kicked him a couple of times herself!
Liu Jingcheng was numb all over. The physical pain wasn't severe, but the humiliation was excruciating!
Frankly, this was the first time in his life he'd ever been spanked! He'd imagined dying in battle, or being framed and killed by treachery, but he'd never imagined being humiliated like this by a sixteen-year-old fool!
Ye Qinghan didn't need to ask why. Even if she had to guess, she knew it was Li Shiyu who had called upon him using her status as his personal disciple. Otherwise, Xu Zhanfeng wouldn't have dared to delay her affairs.
Xu Zhanfeng, sensing Ye Qinghan's presence, instantly darted forward, sliding on his knees to reach Ye Qinghan's feet!
"Zhanfeng greets the First Lady!"
"No need for formalities. Shiyu must have asked you to assist her first."
Ye Qinghan chuckled softly, glancing at Liu Jingcheng, whose cultivation had clearly been crippled—Xu Zhanfeng's handiwork!
Her dim-witted junior sister should be able to win the fight, but performing such a precise task as crippling someone's cultivation? That was another story.
"Uh…" Xu Zhanfeng dared not speak! Neither of these grandmothers was someone she could afford to provoke!
"Small matter. Shiyuo will deal with him. You hurry over and help clean up the mess."
Before long, the two matriarchs began sweeping up the spoils, bringing Xu Zhanfeng along.
But how could Xu Zhanfeng let the two grandmothers do the same work as him? He simply told them to sit while he handled the labor.
Ye Qinghan readily agreed, but added, "Shiyao, you come help too!"
Ye Qinghan felt a flicker of amusement, yet her guard was clearly slipping.
Inside the Dragon King's Hall, her master was on the verge of losing his innocence, yet Ye Qinghan remained completely unaware.
Compared to her two sixteen-year-old disciples, the millennia-old Yu Lan possessed the cunning and skill of an adult.
Yet, like the secluded Dragon King, he knew nothing of love—only that he desired her.
In contrast, Ye Qinghan cherished her master's affection, while Yu Lan craved the mere fact of possession.
"Would you like something to eat?"
Yu Lan sat on the bedside with fruit in hand, her gaze carrying a hint of affection and the same bashful shyness as a newlywed on her wedding night.
She didn't know why she was doing this. If she could still maintain her rationality, she would never accept that this woman was herself.
Driven by some inexplicable impulse, some bewitching spell, Yu Lan found herself playing the role of the dutiful wife.
"Have something to eat. If I'm not mistaken, you probably can't go without food."
She was right. Though he didn't cook for his two disciples three times a day at fixed hours, he always ate properly.
Whether the disciples ate or not wasn't a big deal, but if Qinghan wasn't cultivating, she was always happy to piggyback on her master's meals.
"Your cooking is quite good."
"This is my first time doing this sort of thing. I did seek guidance from…"
"Cough… cough!"
Su Cheng nearly choked on his sip of water! This Yu Lan was seriously off!
"What's wrong? Don't worry, no one's trying to take it from you."
Though she had the physique of a loli, her aura radiated the full essence of a married woman—truly like a wife. Especially that gaze of hers made Su Cheng almost unable to meet her eyes.
"Yulan-jie, I…"
"You'd better not say anything to ruin the mood."
"Uh… Mmm!"
Another spoonful of rice was shoved into Su Cheng's mouth, stuffing his words right down his throat.
Though she silenced Su Cheng, Yulan still needed to speak her mind.
"Even I find it hard to believe, but I know I've fallen for you."
Fortunately, the stuffed mouth spared Su Cheng from having to respond—which was the best outcome possible, since he genuinely had no idea how to answer.
"You're braver than I imagined, stronger than I imagined, smarter than I imagined. I have to admit, you're worthy of being my man."
"I'm willing to trust you to save your disciple. But in return, you understand…"
Su Cheng was genuinely stunned. He'd never imagined anything like this!
Yu Lan's expression made Su Cheng feel genuinely uneasy! Instinctively, he wanted to check his appearance, make sure his clothes were still on—most importantly, that his pants were still in place!
Having the Dragon King as a backer would be ideal, but equally, this Dragon King was no pushover!
The most crucial point was that she looked undeniably underage!
Su Cheng knew she was a legal loli, but what about others? If his disciples found out, how could he face them?
"Um… Sister Yulan…"
"Just call me Yulan."
"Alright, Yu… Wait! I'm not fully recovered yet—don't take your clothes off just yet!"
Yu Lan pouted. She felt this matter needed to be handled promptly—she had this nagging premonition! If they delayed, complications were bound to arise!
"Really? I clearly treated you with the dragon clan's secret medicine. Why is your recovery so slow…"
