"Let go of me!"
Su Yi grabbed Shi Susu by the collar as she struggled, her dress tearing in the process.
Even in such a dire situation, Shi Susu swung her hand, attempting to attack Su Yi.
"So you think I’m a bad person…"
Su Yi sneered, quickly casting several restrictions on her, sealing her meridians and dantian.
"Since you’ve always treated me like a thief, then fine—today, I’ll show you what a thief does!"
His voice turned cold and menacing, the fury in his eyes unmistakable. For a moment, Su Yi nearly gave in to the impulse to slap the troublesome woman into oblivion.
Now that she was subdued, Su Yi felt compelled to act—to at least reclaim some dignity for the Spiritual Essence he had lost, as well as for the ridicule Shi Susu had subjected him to.
"Let go of me immediately! What are you doing? I will never forgive you!"Shi Susu’s voice trembled as she realized she was completely at Su Yi’s mercy.
"Good! Very good!"
Su Yi’s laughter was cold and biting. "I’d like to see how you plan to stop me!"
With that, he seized the torn portion of her dress and ripped it further, the sound echoing sharply like tearing paper.
"Ah!"
Shi Susu let out a piercing scream that resonated like lightning striking stone. The sound made Su Yi’s head throb, but his anger only intensified.
She tried to struggle, but her body was completely immobilized. She was utterly powerless to resist.
"I’ll show you what a real thief is!"
Su Yi’s throat felt dry with rage as he vented his frustration. His actions were forceful, and the sensation at his fingertips only fueled the heat surging within him.
"Ah!"
Shi Susu screamed louder, her voice trembling with both fear and despair. She couldn’t believe Su Yi had the audacity to treat her so boldly.
The sound of her cries stirred something strange within Su Yi, a dark satisfaction that spurred him on. He didn’t hold back, even landing a sharp slap on her round bottom.
Smack!
The crisp sound reverberated through the air, followed by another agonized scream from Shi Susu. In the distance, rocks cracked from the sheer force of the energy being released. ℞ÄℕöΒÊṦ
"I’ll make you call me a wicked thief!"
Su Yi’s voice was low and firm as he delivered another sharp slap.
"I won’t let you go!"
Smack!
"I won’t let you deceive me!"
Smack!
"I won’t let you betray my kindness!"
Smack!
"I won’t let you steal from me!"
Smack!
"I told you not to attack me with your sword!"
Smack!
…
Each accusation was accompanied by a stinging slap, and Shi Susu’s cries rang out in the cave. But as her screams continued, they gradually turned into quiet sobs.
Eventually, Su Yi paused, noticing the bright redness on her skin, a stark contrast against the pale, glistening areas around it.
"Why are you crying? If you cry again, I’ll really…!"
Frustration welled up in Su Yi as he flipped her over, glaring at her fiercely.
To his surprise, the threat worked. Shi Susu, who had been crying loudly moments ago, now sobbed quietly, her sniffles soft and pitiful.
"See if you dare provoke me again!" Su Yi growled, his anger subsiding as reason and calmness returned to him.
He suddenly felt the weight of his actions and realized how far he had let his fury drive him. As he stared at Shi Susu, who was now silent but trembling, an inexplicable dryness overtook his throat.
Gulp.
Su Yi swallowed hard, trying to steady himself. Don’t make a mistake here, he reminded himself sternly.
Pulling a clean garment from his space bag, Su Yi draped it over Shi Susu to cover her. Then, without a word, he lifted her and carried her to a nearby cave.
Although the recent skirmish had left the cave damaged, it was still intact enough to provide shelter.
As he set her down gently, Su Yi muttered to himself, "The old man always said, ‘Learn from your mistakes.’ So remember this—don’t provoke me again, or you’ll really see me angry!"
Su Yi gently placed Shi Susu inside the cave, feeling nervous and unsure of himself as he looked at her tear-streaked face.
"I'm leaving. Take care of yourself," he said.
He loosened the restraints on her body, shook off his swirling thoughts, and walked away without looking back.
A woman crying so sadly could touch a soft spot in any man's heart.
Su Yi felt that he had settled their score today and taught her a lesson. As long as Shi Susu didn’t bother him again in the future, he wouldn’t cause any further trouble for her.
“Woo hoo hoo…”
The moment Su Yi left and the oppressive threat faded, Shi Susu burst into loud sobs, looking pitiful and heartbroken. Her grievances overwhelmed her.
Before long, the restraints on her body seemed to dissolve by themselves.
Shi Susu quickly curled into a ball, hugging herself tightly as she cried loudly.
After a while, something didn’t feel right. Sniffling, she furiously tore off the young man’s clothing and stomped on it with her feet.
Still unsatisfied, she glanced at the rest of the clothing around her, intending to destroy it too. But then she realized she had nothing to cover herself with.
With a startled cry, Shi Susu reluctantly picked up Su Yi’s clothing. Without even brushing off the dust, she wrapped it tightly around herself.
After leaving the cave, Shi Susu quickly retraced her steps to the spot where she had been ambushed and found her torn dress. She searched frantically but couldn’t find her space bag.
It was obvious—Su Yi must have taken it when he left.
Fortunately, her sword was still there, embedded in a massive rock in the distance.
“You thief! Wicked man! I’ll kill you for this!”
Her voice, still tinged with tears, trembled with rage. Shi Susu marched over and yanked her sword free, exuding a murderous aura once again.
Her dress was ruined and unwearable. With her space bag stolen by that shameless thief, she had no choice but to wear his clothes for now. The idea sent a chill down her spine, but there was no alternative.
“Someone’s coming!”
Suddenly, Shi Susu sensed movement nearby.
She wasted no time, quickly tidying her clothes and gripping her sword tightly.
Swish, swish, swish!
Before long, a group of people emerged on the outskirts of the battlefield.
“It’s Miss Shi!”
The leader of the group, a disciple from the Tiangang Sect, immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing her. “I am Hong Jianqiu of the Tiangang Sect. It’s an honor to meet you, Miss Shi!”
The group consisted of seven or eight disciples. Those from the Furious Blade Sect and the Juetian Sect had already been let go, as they couldn’t keep up with Su Yi’s pace. Bringing them along would have been pointless.
Hong Jianqiu’s curiosity was piqued. Why was Shi Susu wearing men’s clothing? Though puzzled, he refrained from asking out of caution.
Seeing Hong Jianqiu’s respectful attitude, Shi Susu shot him a cold glance without saying a word.
“Miss Shi, are you injured? I have some excellent healing pills here…”
Hong Jianqiu carefully observed her and noticed her unsteady breathing. It was clear she had been shaken and injured during the battle.
Thinking quickly, he tried to show his attentiveness. She was an exceptional disciple of the Cangyun Temple, and earning her goodwill could greatly benefit the Tiangang Sect.
Moreover, she was stunning—her beauty and figure were unparalleled. If he could win her over now, the benefits would be immeasurable.
Even if he couldn’t, just getting closer to her would be a rare opportunity.
Feeling like fate had handed him a golden chance, Hong Jianqiu’s heart raced with excitement.
However, before he could finish speaking, Shi Susu interrupted with a cold snort.
“Hmph!”
She glared at him icily, then turned and walked away, completely ignoring his presence.
Hong Jianqiu stood frozen, his hand halfway through pulling out a space bag. His gesture was left incomplete, his face a mask of embarrassment mixed with simmering humiliation.
It felt like a slap to the face—an unbearable blow to his pride.
If Hong Jianqiu's skills had been on par with Shi Susu's, and if the Cangyun Temple weren’t so overwhelmingly powerful, he might have been tempted to overpower that woman outright!
Exhale…
After a moment, Hong Jianqiu let out a long breath, his gaze fixed on Shi Susu’s figure as it disappeared among the mountains. Gradually, he regained his composure.
Some things might seem tempting in thought, but actually acting on them requires the corresponding strength.
Turning his attention back to the battlefield, Hong Jianqiu directed his subordinates to search the area. However, they found only a torn piece of a woman's clothing—nothing else.
"Find that Su Yi for me!" he commanded sharply. "If I can kill him and claim the treasure at the same time, it’ll be like killing two birds with one stone!"
Still frustrated by his inability to handle Shi Susu, Hong Jianqiu resolved to take out his anger on the young man from the Overlord Sect.
He couldn’t believe that someone from a third-rate sect could put up any significant resistance against him.
“Let’s move!”
With Hong Jianqiu leading, the seven or eight figures from the Tiangang Sect quickly disappeared from the scene.
***
Shi Susu wiped the tears from her face as she walked, ensuring her composure before the Tiangang Sect members appeared. She didn’t shed another tear, but a dull ache lingered in her chest and back.
Today’s encounter with Su Yi had been far more than she had anticipated. Her intention was merely to seek revenge and reclaim her Blood Demon Killing Excalibur, but instead, she found herself in an unexpected predicament.
The boy she had once thought she could easily defeat had grown so strong that he had effortlessly overpowered her.
And that shameless thief… How dare he treat her that way!
“You jerk… shameless thief…”
Shi Susu ground her teeth in frustration, her anger flaring again. She wanted to threaten him, to let him know he would pay for what he had done.
But when she thought of Su Yi’s current strength, an overwhelming sense of powerlessness crept over her.
It seemed unlikely she could exact revenge on her own.
