Li Ziqing was not one to be bullied. Seeing Li Cun lunging at her, she raised her hand and slapped her.
*Slap—*
Li Cun was stunned. She looked up at Li Ziqing in disbelief. "You, you dare hit me?"
She was the dignified eldest daughter of the Li family. In her life, she had always been the one hitting others, never the other way around. Not even her parents had ever laid a finger on her.
Now, being slapped by Li Ziqing, her anger was beyond imagination.
"Seize this slut! Today, I'll skin her alive!"
Li Cun roared furiously, pointing at Li Ziqing.
As soon as she spoke, one of the twins leaped behind Li Ziqing and restrained her with one hand.
The expressions on the brothers' faces were grim. With their strength, doing such a thing felt beneath them. Bullying a weak little girl would surely lead to ridicule if it got out!
However, they had no choice, as the Hall Master had ordered them to obey this young lady in all matters.
Seeing Li Ziqing restrained and struggling in vain, Li Cun became smug. "Li Ziqing, keep talking back! Keep hitting me!"
Li Ziqing sneered, gritting her teeth. "Li Cun, don't get too smug too soon. I'll give you a chance. Let me go now, and I'll pretend this never happened. Otherwise, you'll regret it!"
"I regret it? Hahahaha..."
Li Cun burst into laughter. As she laughed, her expression suddenly turned fierce, and she grabbed Li Ziqing's collar.
"Li Ziqing, I do regret it. I regret not coming to Jiangcheng sooner. When you caused my Shaofeng brother's death, I should have killed you then to accompany him!"
"Ptooey!"
Li Ziqing spat directly at Li Cun's face. "Since you like your Shaofeng brother so much, why don't you go down and join him?"
"How dare you spit at me! You vixen! I'll beat you to death!"
Li Cun swung her arm and slapped Li Ziqing across the face.
*Bang—*
However, at that moment, a muffled thud was heard from outside the window, followed by a crashing sound...
The conference room's glass, which was strong enough to block bullets, suddenly exploded, showering the floor with shards.
After the window shattered, a storm swept in, and within the tempest, a figure appeared.
Upon seeing the figure, Li Ziqing almost cried out.
It was Chen Xiao, descending like a divine soldier, appearing before her.
The twins and Li Cun were all dumbfounded. What was going on? Where did this person come from? How did he get in?
As they stood there bewildered, Chen Xiao suddenly threw a punch.
The person holding Li Ziqing didn't even have time to react before he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the wall and leaving an indentation.
"Sorry, wife, I'm late..."
Chen Xiao embraced Li Ziqing, saying apologetically.
Li Ziqing, cradled in Chen Xiao's arms, placed a finger on his lips.
"Husband, don't apologize. You're not late, and I always knew you would come!"
Although it was inexplicable, Li Ziqing had a strong premonition that Chen Xiao would come to save her. That's why, despite her initial panic, she felt confident.
Seeing Li Ziqing and this man, who appeared like a divine soldier, being affectionate, Li Cun became enraged.
"Who are you calling what? Wife? You're this vixen's husband? What kind of taste do you have to fancy a woman like this..."
*Slap—*
Hearing Li Cun insult Li Ziqing, Chen Xiao instantly appeared before her and slapped her.
Throughout the entire process, Li Ziqing hadn't even left his embrace.
The slap left Li Cun's face filled with shock.
"You dare hit me too? You bastard... Wait, aren't you from Medicine King Valley? What are you doing here?"
Li Cun cursed, then suddenly recognized Chen Xiao.
"Hmph!"
Chen Xiao snorted angrily and slapped her again.
With a *smack*, Li Cun was sent flying and landed heavily on the ground.
The blow made her dizzy, stars swimming before her eyes.
The intense pain and humiliation fueled her rage.
"I'll kill you both! I will kill you..."
Li Cun panted heavily through her nostrils, roaring at the twins, "What are you two standing there for? Hurry up and kill them!"
However, this time, the twins didn't obey her and didn't act rashly.
One of them said to Chen Xiao, "My name is Zhang Tiansheng, and this is my twin brother, Zhang Tianyang. We are ranked fifteenth and sixteenth on the Heavenly Rankings, respectively. May I ask your esteemed name?"
Those ranked fifteenth and sixteenth on the Heavenly Rankings would not have poor strength or judgment. They could naturally tell that Chen Xiao's strength was extraordinary, which was why they hadn't acted rashly.
Chen Xiao sneered, too lazy to engage in their chatter. With a flick of his finger, *snap*, Zhang Tiansheng turned into a puddle of bloody mist.
What did being fifteenth on the Heavenly Rankings matter? In front of Chen Xiao, he was merely an ant, easily crushed!
"You, you dare kill my elder brother!"
Zhang Tianyang had grown up with his brother, never separated from him. Now, watching his brother turned into a bloody mist, his anger erupted like a volcano.
However, just as he was about to attack Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao glared at him fiercely.
With just a look from Chen Xiao, Zhang Tianyang was so frightened that he cowered backward like a quail.
"Trash!"
Chen Xiao cursed dismissively, then flicked his finger again.
*Snap—*
Zhang Tianyang also turned into a puddle of bloody mist.
Li Cun was dumbfounded. These two brothers were always bragging about how amazing they were, but this person had killed them both with just a casual flick of his finger?
Realizing her revenge was hopeless for today, she got up from the ground.
"Li Ziqing, you're lucky today. I admit defeat, but our feud isn't over. We'll settle this later!"
With that, she patted her backside and swaggered towards the exit.
"Li Cun, stop right there! Did I say you could leave?"
Li Ziqing rebuked angrily.
"You won't let me leave? I've never been hit in my life. I accept my fate after being beaten like this today. What more do you want?"
Li Cun asked, glaring with an innocent expression. She didn't even mention the deaths of the twins. It was as if their deaths were less significant than her being slapped three times.
Seeing that they remained silent, merely staring at her coldly, she asked again, "You're not planning to kill me too, are you?"
Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing still said nothing, but a chill ran down Li Cun's spine.
"I, I warn you, don't do anything rash... My, my grandfather is the Imperial City's Li Gang..."
As she stammered, Chen Xiao suddenly flicked his finger.
Who cared who her grandfather was? Anyone who dared to cross his woman would face only one outcome: death!
