Ye Zichen, whod broken through the immortal binding rope, the Skyspan Trading Companys estates woodshed. He obediently allowed himself to be tied up once more. His face was a pitiful mass of black and blue welts.

The woman in red held the end of the robe, dragged Ye Zichen to the door, and kicked him inside.

Sit tight and wait in here.

Who treats their benefactor like this?

Ye Zichen sat in a heap on the floor and shouted angrily. This woman was truly an ingrate. Hed done her such a huge favor, yet she wasnt at all appreciative. He was her benefactor, yet she talked to him so coldly? Shed even punched and kicked him!

The more he thought about it, the more bitter he felt. He wouldnt let her defeat him when it came to cold demeanors and icy staring contents.

Little did he know that, if he hadnt given her the ring, she likely would have beaten him half to death by now.

Hah? It seems youd like another beating?

Hed made flippant remark after flippant remark since the moment they met. Back in the carriage, hed even touched her.

No man had ever touched her there before.

Even worse, just now, hed intentionally said all that nonsense in order to trick Elder Che and the manors attendants into misunderstanding their relationship. That alone justified sentencing Ye Zichen to death. Sticking him in the woodshed was already a display of mercy.

As she raised her hand, Ye Zichen hurriedly backed down. Lady Warrior, please spare my life!

As she watched Ye Zichen bow and beg for mercy, her killing intent vanished. She lowered her hand, rolled her eyes at him, and turned to leave the woodshed.

When he saw that she was about to leave the woodshed, Ye Zichen hurriedly called out, Lady Warrior, please wait!

What do you want this time?

Whenever she looked at Ye Zichen, she felt the urge to hit him. She unwillingly turned back around, her delicate furrowed, a cold glare on her exquisite face. From the look of things, it seemed even the slightest provocation would incite her to violence.

Sensing her gaze, Ye Zichen shrunk back and laughed drily, then stuck out his chin and indicated to his apprentice.

My apprentice is from Raging Flame Citys Wu Family. Their grand competition is in just a few days and its extremely important to him. Im sure youve realized that we are not affiliated with the black-robed thieves. I know Ive gotten on your nerves, but my apprentice has behaved himself this whole time, hasn't he? You can keep me here, but please let him return. How does that sound?

As soon as Ye Zichen finished speaking, Wu Di, who was in the woodshed as well, spoke up. I wont leave, master.

Why stick around? Are you stupid? Ive suffered bitter hardship to raise you to your current state, all so that you could smack those guys hard in the face during your familys grand competition. Have you forgotten your convictions? Didnt you want to shock everyone with your performance? Ye Zichen savagely rebuked his apprentice. When he saw that Wu Di had nothing to say in his own defense, Ye Zichen turned to face the woman in red.

Well, Lady Warrior? he smiled obsequiously. What do you say?

She was certain that these two werent affiliated with the black-robed thieves. Shed captured the wrong people. She wouldnt learn anything by keeping them locked up here, and besides, she only bore a grudge against Ye Zichen. She couldnt justify taking her anger out on Wu Di.

Come to me. She called outside the woodshed. Before long, one of the Trading Companys attendants appeared by the door.

First Miss.

Remove this prince of the Wu Familys bonds, unseal his spiritual sea, and return him to Raging Flame Citys Wu Family.

Understood. The attendant gestured for Wu Di to follow him and left the woodshed. Wu Di stood there motionlessly for a while and watched Ye Zichen in concern.

Go on. Your master absolutely wont be in any danger. Hurry back to your clan. Whatever you do, dont miss the grand competition.

When he saw Ye ZIchens mellow smile, Wu Di grit his teeth, bowed deeply, and followed the attendant out of the woodshed.

Once Wu Di was gone, the woman in red crossed her arms and shook her head repeatedly. I never would have guessed that such a well-mannered youth had a person like you as his master.

Ye Zichen couldnt help but chuckle, and whats wrong with me? Cant you see my noble air of righteousness? As he spoke, he deliberately puffed up his chest.

Ive yet to see any noble air of righteousness, but I have witnessed the depths of your disreputable hooliganism. Sit tight and enjoy yourself. I hope youre still alive next time I visit.

She abruptly turned to leave, but before shed gotten far, Ye Zichen called out once more, wait up..

What is it this time? She crossed her arms and turned back around. The motion happened to cup her enormous mountains, making them even more prominent. Ye Zichen paused mid-sentence, stunned by this sudden and beautiful scene. He gulped repeatedly.

When she noticed his gaze, her face instantly grew ashen. Heavy spiritual pressure instantly flooded out of her body. It seems you dont need those eyes anymore!

Hey, hey.. Dont! Stop! Stop.. Why are you so temperamental? Does me taking a quick look or two hurt you in any way? Besides, Im an ordinary man too. If Ive got a chance to take a peek, why shouldnt I?

Ye Zichen said this as if it were obvious, but his tone only increased the woman in reds fury. Shut your mouth!

Her tone was extremely threatening. As she unleashed her spiritual energy, the ground cracked beneath her feet.

This woman was truly explosive. She was outrageously vicious! She had quite impressive assets, though, so why did she have such a temper?

Ye Zichens lips curled in contempt. He could only smile helplessly and say, fine, fine, fine, calm down. Getting angry will throw your system out of whack and make you age faster.. If you want to maintain your beauty, youd best get control over your emotions. Little Sister, youre a Leo, arent you? I can tell youre a bit overbearing.

I.. I have no time to waste on you! She stamped in anger, gnashed her teeth, and turned to leave.

Wait up..

Dont be mistaken! Im truly not afraid to kill you!

Her foot had just stepped outside the woodshed when she came to a sudden stop, turned back inside, and violently stamped against the sheds floor. There was a boom as her aura reached its peak once more.

She really seemed as if she were about to explode. She never would have guessed shed run into such a scoundrel.

Ye Zichen paid her fully-unleashed spiritual pressure no heed whatsoever. His gaze contained a veiled smile. He wore a faint grin on his face, but he also seemed somewhat bashful. Just admit how you really feel! You dont want to leave me.. Haha. Ive captured your heart. Im just saying, when you first saw me, I saw secret longing in your eyes. It was love at first sight. You want to hide it, but you cant keep it a secret..

His playful tone practically drove the woman in red mad with fury, but just as her rage hit its peak, she stopped. I shouldnt pay this sort of person any attention. Give a guy like this an inch and hell take a mile. All I can do is ignore him. Xue Honghong, you have to endure no matter what. This person is foul-mouthed, but he isnt evil. You have to repress your fury. You cant really hurt him.

Xue Honghong was the woman in reds real name. Shed come extremely close to losing herself in fury. In her heart, she repeatedly warned herself: you have to endure. You have to maintain control...

But

Hey, little sister.. Even after all this time, I still dont know your name.

Theres no need to tell you.

By now, she didnt even need to see his just-begging-for-a-beating face of his. The sound of his voice alone was enough to kindle the flames of rage burning in her chest.

She had to hurry up and leave.

Xue Honghong didnt hesitate. She turned to leave. Shed already decided that she wouldnt turn back this time, no matter how Ye Zichen tried to call her back.

But..

Little Sister, dont even try to resist your true feelings. Ill leave my door unlocked for you tonight..

.

Im going to kill you!
