Chapter Twenty-One: Mmm~ Ah (Please Support with Votes and Favorites!)

Hu Liena and Xie Yue lowered the hand blocking their view. The latter was utterly dumbfounded upon seeing Xu Sheng standing there completely unharmed after being struck by Yan’s second soul technique.

Yan’s attack hadn’t even brushed the corner of this guy’s clothes!

But what was even more outrageous was that this so-called support soul master, relying purely on brute force, had slapped the aggressive soul master who had just unleashed his second soul technique, sending him flying…

He felt his worldview shatter. What on earth was going on in this world? How could an aggressive type lose a one-on-one to a support type?

This kid was far too strange. Not to be trifled with.

Hu Liena immediately snapped back to reality, anxiously scanning the surroundings. There had just been a tremendous noise.

Since Xu Sheng seemed fine, that meant the one in trouble was Yan!

A few seconds later, Hu Liena finally located Yan, who had been slammed into the wall by Xu Sheng’s slap and was now stuck there, unable to pull himself free.

His face bruised and swollen, bearing a fiery red handprint, Yan had fallen unconscious.

Hu Liena gently shook his shoulder with her delicate hand, then lifted his upper body and urged anxiously, “Yan, Yan, are you alright?”

Yan gradually regained consciousness, weakly opening his eyes. Upon recognizing Hu Liena, his tone softened naturally, “Cough… Liena, I… I’m fine.”

Xu Sheng and Xie Yue then approached, crouching down with furrowed brows. Xie Yue asked, “Yan, is there anywhere you feel unwell?”

Yan glanced at him without replying, instead feigning comfort as he lay in Hu Liena’s arms, casting a provocative look toward Xu Sheng.

Ah, Xu Sheng, in terms of strength, I, Yan, am willing to acknowledge you as the strongest among the four of us!

But you have lost at life.

That look made Xu Sheng quite uncomfortable, puzzled as to why he hadn’t just finished off this brat with a harder blow. The guy was utterly contemptible.

Xie Yue, crouching nearby, also noticed Yan’s taunting expression but chose to ignore it… The injuries were merely superficial. There was no need to send him to the support soul masters at the Martial Soul Hall for treatment. Xu Sheng’s casual healing would suffice.

With this in mind, Xie Yue turned to Xu Sheng. “Xu Sheng, as a support soul master, you should have restorative soul techniques, right?”

“Yes, but my Martial Soul’s healing method is a bit unusual. I don’t know if Yan can tolerate it,” Xu Sheng replied, fixing his gaze on Yan.

Goodness, you were so defiant just now. Hope you can endure this!

This look sent a chill down Yan’s spine, causing him to shrink further into Hu Liena’s embrace.

—

Feeling the movement in her arms, Hu Liena assumed Yan was still recovering…

Her concern was purely that of a teammate, devoid of any personal feelings, so she didn’t think much of it.

She gently set Yan back down on the cold floor. “Xu Sheng, help Yan with the treatment first. It would be bad if there were any aftereffects.”

Seeing Xu Sheng’s increasingly sly eyes, Yan lying on the floor sensed something was amiss!

That look was clearly vengeful!

He would rather die than let him treat him!

Absolutely not!

…

“Mm~~ ah~ mm”

Yan lay on the ground as countless petals of the Nine Heart Blood Hawthorn flower pierced into his body, sending an exquisite tingling sensation rippling through him, eliciting soft moans. His expression of utter enjoyment…

This scene instantly stirred a strong wave of nausea in Xie Yue’s heart…

Seeing Hu Liena’s ears flush and her pulse race in obvious embarrassment, Xie Yue decisively covered her beautiful eyes with his palms…

This scene was far too scandalous, as if the Eastern Demon King himself had taken possession!

Xu Sheng crossed his arms, a sly smile playing on his lips as he watched Yan’s continuous gentle gasps.

“You little brat, this time you’ll lose your right to choose a partner for three years!”

Originally, the Nine Heart Blood Hawthorn petals had mild toxicity, but Xu Sheng cleverly controlled the poison to avoid harming the body…

This resulted in the petals losing their toxicity but delivering an intensely pleasurable tingling sensation, combined with the flower’s restorative power.

Ah, that sensation was so exquisite it felt heavenly!

After a few minutes, Xu Sheng waved his hand, and the petals gradually turned transparent, finally dissipating into particles and vanishing…

Freed from the tingling, Yan shook his head, his mind finally clearing…

He looked up to see Xu Sheng’s half-smiling, half-smirking expression…

Then, all that had just happened on his body flooded back into his mind…

His face darkened chillingly as he glared at Xu Sheng in fury. “Xu Sheng, what did you just do to me? Why did I do those things?”

—

Having done something so humiliating he wanted to claw himself apart, it was clear that his perfect image in Hu Liena’s eyes would now plummet to rock bottom!

Xu Sheng blinked innocently, shrugged. “I didn’t do anything to you. Weren’t you enjoying it just now?”

This guy enjoyed it and then denied it! A complete scoundrel!

Yan clenched his fists tightly, wanting to rush over and punch Xu Sheng to death!

But the next moment, his heart sank as he recalled how just now Xu Sheng’s single slap had nearly crippled him, despite his soul technique. If he fought back, he wouldn’t stand a chance!

Suppressing his rage, he forced a stiff smile and glanced toward Xie Yue and Hu Liena…

Hu Liena’s face remained as flushed as a ripe apple. Xie Yue pulled her behind him, warning Yan, “Stay away from Liena, you pervert!”

“I… I damn well… I damn well…” Yan ground his teeth and clenched his fists so tightly his nails left deep marks in his skin.

The next moment, as if unable to hold on any longer, his vision blackened and his body collapsed heavily onto the ground!

…

After enduring Yan’s resentful glare all day, Xu Sheng finally grasped the day’s lessons. Suddenly, a gentle female voice sounded in his ear.

“Xu Sheng, come out for a moment.”

That unmistakably familiar voice immediately told Xu Sheng its owner—it was none other than Bibi Dong!

Without a trace of emotion, Xu Sheng rose from his seat and walked outside the academy…

Seeing this, Yan sneered coldly, “What’s that guy going to do now? Doesn’t he know we have to study tonight too?”

Xie Yue glanced at him disdainfully. “Enough already. It’s all because you challenged him to a duel and almost got crippled by one slap!”

Mentioning Yan’s sore spot so directly, he retorted stubbornly, “Xie Yue! What are you so proud of? If you have the guts, go fight that monster Xu Sheng! Let’s see if he can knock you out with one slap!”

Xie Yue leisurely replied, “Why would I? As long as I don’t fight, who knows if I’m not better than him? Intelligence is a good thing, too bad you don’t have it.”

Yan’s eyes widened, utterly shocked at Xie Yue’s shamelessness. “Xie Yue, you’re disgraceful!”

Xie Yue closed his eyes and ignored him…

The truth was, as long as the two didn’t duel, Xu Sheng was just a support soul master to outsiders. Who would believe he couldn’t beat him?
