"Little lady! Come with me. Why suffer like this? The life over at my place is much more comfortable than what you're going through now!" the man said, beckoning a few thugs over.
Seven or eight burly men stood behind the middle-aged man, glaring menacingly at Su Muqing, giving the impression that if she didn't comply, they would resort to force.
However, Su Muqing completely ignored them, continuing to ask the middle-aged man, "What if I refuse? Did they not tell you that we severed ties long ago? Furthermore, I have registered as a female head of household. Our current dynasty has laws that state, provided the household is of clean background, no one may arbitrarily sell or kill anyone. Otherwise, severe punishment will be meted out!"
The middle-aged man shot an angry look at Old Madam Chen and the other woman, then said indifferently, "What does it matter if you're a female head of household or not? His Lordship fancies you now. His Lordship says you are not a female head of household, then you are just a little woman. Less nonsense! Do you want me to come and invite you, or will you come yourself? If His Lordship has to invite you, there won't be any good consequences for you."
Su Muqing slowly raised her right hand and then gave him the international gesture of friendship. "I'm someone who prefers to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. You thrice-damned scoundrel! Come and invite me if you have the guts!"
The man looked at the woman's extended middle finger, not understanding its meaning. He only felt that this woman was indeed hot-tempered. But how did she know his nickname? "Oh! Such a fiery spirit! His Lordship likes fiery women the most." After saying this, he reached out to grab Su Muqing's arm.
Seeing the man's greasy and lewd leering smile, Su Muqing accumulated full electrical power in her fingertips and flicked it towards the man's crotch.
The middle-aged man let out a painful scream, "Ah…!" Suddenly, an unbearable pain coursed through his groin, a pain in his life that he could not withstand.
The man's face turned red with pain, veins bulging on his forehead and neck. Then, his whole body swayed unsteadily, and he fell heavily to his knees before Su Muqing, his forehead touching the ground.
Anyone who didn't know the situation might have thought Su Muqing was the bully.
The thugs following behind, seeing Manager San fall for no apparent reason, wanted to go forward and help him up. However, as if struck by something evil, one after another they felt a sudden sharp pain in their bodies, and then one after another they lost their footing and fell onto the middle-aged man, crushing him and making him scream like a pig!
Seeing the big men fall in a heap while Su Muqing remained unharmed, Su Cuiling felt it was extremely strange.
Recalling the changes that had occurred in Su Muqing over the past two days, she tugged at Old Madam Chen's clothes and quietly whispered something to her.
Su Muqing noticed Su Cuiling's subtle movement, raising one corner of her mouth and giving her a greasy, wicked, domineering CEO smile.
Madam Zhou and the others were also drawn by the commotion. Lu Yuzhi had just woken up, and Xu Fu and the others were about to call Su Muqing over to have a look. Little did they know, they heard a thunderous sound, and only then realized that Su Muqing seemed to have encountered some trouble.
The two walked quickly and directly to Madam Wang's side. Madam Zhou quickly asked what had happened. Madam Wang briefly explained the situation to her. Seeing that Su Muqing was not at a disadvantage, they did not intervene but kept a close watch from behind.
Su Muqing used her mind to control the massive lightning and subtle currents, gathering them above the heads of Su Cuiling and Old Madam Chen. While they were engrossed in their conversation, a loud clap of thunder! It struck directly towards their heads!
"Boom... Crackle... Zzzzzz..." The sudden thunder from a clear sky startled everyone around.
After the thunderclap, everyone saw two people with their hair puffed up and standing on end, their bodies blackened, with wisps of smoke rising from them.
After the smoke dissipated, Su Muqing raised her arm again, pretending to wave away the smoke, and then flung a gust of wind towards Su Cuiling and the other woman.
Their hair, already standing on end and brittle from the electric shock, was swept by the strong wind and fell scattered on the ground. Their hairstyles looked as if a dog had gnawed them, uneven and ragged!
"Ah…" Su Cuiling shrieked in fright.
She even reached up to scratch her head a few times, pulling out the already sparse hair on her head, leaving it even thinner. She could feel the coolness of her scalp, let alone her fingers clearly feeling patches of bare scalp.
Su Cuiling clutched her head and dodged everywhere, finally stumbling onto the ox cart and finding a cloth to wrap her head.
"Wuwu... Ah~ Ah~ Hahaha..." Old Madam Chen knelt on the ground, raising her hands to the sky, crying and laughing, occasionally letting out screams.
Su Muqing walked forward and kicked the face of the Manager San. She asked with a curious expression, "Are you guys performing a stratagem of feigned suffering?"
After speaking, she reached out and pulled out the stack of indentured servitude contracts from Manager San's embrace. She found the one with her name written on it.
Then, in front of Manager San, she crumpled the indentured servitude contract into a ball. Finally, with a strong squeeze, the paper ball turned into dust. Su Muqing flung it onto them.
Xu Fu and Madam Zhou exchanged glances behind her. Everything was understood without words, but they couldn't help but feel astonished. Indeed, she was a person with supernatural abilities. It seemed she had deliberately acted ordinarily before to hide her true strength!
However, Madam Wang and Su Minghui and the others were startled by this display from Su Muqing. When had this girl learned such skills?
"Why aren't you getting lost?" the middle-aged man roared at the strong men on his body.
The strong men endured the pain in their bodies, helped each other up, and two more thugs guarding the grain came over to help Manager San up.
After standing up, he snarled at Su Muqing, "You wretched little slut! Hand over the indentured servitude contract immediately, or don't blame me for not being polite!"
Upon hearing his words, Su Muqing provocatively waved the contract in her hand, then stuffed them all into her sleeve and threw them into her spatial dimension.
Manager San was so enraged that smoke billowed from his seven orifices. "You ungrateful wretch! Go, give this little slut a good lesson!"
A group of thugs armed with sticks and whips stepped out, guarding Manager San and the others behind them. Two of them rushed towards Su Muqing.
Manager San shouted triumphantly from behind, "Don't disfigure her face! His Lordship still has use for it!"
Seeing the group of burly men rush towards Su Muqing, Xu Fu quickly gave Old Third a signal. Old Third nodded and quickly went to meet them.
Who would have thought! Before Old Third could even draw his sword, he saw Su Muqing flick a palm at the two of them, sending the two big men close to her flying backwards, landing on the ground foaming at the mouth, their bodies still twitching slightly!
Old Third stepped forward to examine them and saw that the clothes on their chests were blackened, and the exposed wounds had flesh torn and flapping, emitting a scorched meat smell. It was as if they had been struck by lightning?
Old Third was immediately filled with admiration. Miss Su looked small and delicate, but he never expected her to possess such martial arts mastery! He wondered if Miss Su was accepting disciples? Would it be too late to learn at his age?
