The Stunning Mad Empress: The Useless Third Miss - Chapter 6

“Xiao Qingxue, don’t push people too far. You, a concubine-born daughter, go through all this trouble just to climb into Nan Gong Yu’s bed, right? We Qingcheng is the legitimate eldest daughter; we don’t care about that scum!”

Xiao Qingcheng, standing behind Xiao Ze, shouted in response: “We don’t care about scum!”

Xiao Qingxue’s face turned vicious at the sound.

What she hated the most was people openly saying that she was trying to take Nan Gong Yu from a fool.

What she hated even more was people causing trouble by mentioning her status as a concubine-born daughter!

As the most outstanding young lady of the Xiao family, and a cultivation genius with the best talent in the entire Southern Kingdom and the Xianfu, how could she be compared to Xiao Qingcheng, a fool?

Thinking of this, Xiao Qingxue suddenly gathered the domineering internal energy within her body.

She raised her hand and directly launched an attack towards Xiao Qingcheng, who was behind Xiao Ze.

Xiao Ze almost instinctively pushed Xiao Qingcheng, who was behind him, out of the way, preparing to confront the internal energy attack from Xiao Qingxue.

“Master, Xiao Ze is no match for Xiao Qingxue,” Little Pearl, hiding in Xiao Qingcheng’s sleeve, said anxiously.

Xiao Qingcheng narrowed her eyes and, unseen by others, fiercely kicked a small pebble on the stone slab towards Xiao Qingxue’s dantian.

“Ah!”

Xiao Qingxue, hit in the dantian, felt an extraordinary pain.

Xiao Ze seized the one-second gap and directly spun around, delivering a fierce palm strike from behind Xiao Qingxue.

Xiao Qingcheng, standing at a distance, curled her lips slightly as she watched Xiao Qingxue struggling to get up on the ground.

She had struck Xiao Qingxue’s navel.

The navel, also known as the Shenque point, when struck with force without any guard, would definitely leave Xiao Qingxue unable to get up.

“Qingxue! Qingxue! Someone, tie up this brat Xiao Qingcheng for me!” Lin Fen, who had rushed over, was completely furious the moment she saw Xiao Qingxue lying on the ground.

“Who dares?” Xiao Ze confronted Lin Fen again, roaring in anger.

“Xiao Ze, you are not of our Xiao family. Allowing you to bear the Xiao surname is already a favor. I advise you to step aside quickly!” Lin Fen stretched out her hand, pointing at Xiao Ze, and threatened.

Xiao Qingcheng, hidden behind Xiao Ze, sneered coldly. It seemed she would have to deal with these despicable people herself.

“Madam Xiao, Qingcheng is still the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family. Your constant use of the term ‘brat’ will surely bring disgrace upon the Xiao family if heard by outsiders.”

Xiao Ze took a deep breath and tried to delay Lin Fen.

“Qingcheng, you go first. I’ll handle this.”

“A brat is a brat. A waste of a fool—what qualifications does she have to be the third miss of the Xiao family? Someone, grab this idiot!” Lin Fen shouted, and the guards on both sides, forming an encircling posture, were about to rush over.

At this moment, Xiao Qingcheng, who was being fully protected by Xiao Ze, suddenly said, “Brother, look, someone’s coming.”

Everyone turned to look and saw, far away, amidst the winding flowers, a woman with a graceful figure and a willow-like posture, walking with lotus-like steps towards them.

As she got closer, it became clear that the woman had an exceptionally beautiful face, with a pair of bright apricot eyes revealing a sense of calm and stability.

“Mother, eldest sister, this is a bit too unsightly. Just grabbing the waste that is Xiao Qingcheng—does it need to be so complicated?” Her voice, like that of a oriole, was tinged with a hint of disdain.

The moment she spoke, Xiao Qingcheng recognized her as Xiao Qingqing. After all, she was very familiar with this voice from last night.

“Qingqing, don’t meddle. You lot, get over there, push Xiao Ze aside, and take this fool to the ancestral hall,” Xiao Qingxue, in a disheveled state, got up and immediately signaled the Xiao family guards behind her to rush forward.

At the same time, Xiao Ze suddenly mobilized the internal energy in his dantian, preparing to counterattack.

“Humph! Overestimating yourself!” Xiao Qingxue clenched her fists, took a deep breath, quickly mobilized a trace of internal energy, and directly launched an attack towards Xiao Ze’s face.

Xiao Qingcheng, perceiving the strong internal energy pressure from behind Xiao Ze, kicked her leg sharply, causing Xiao Ze to fall to one side.

“Whoa! So scary!” At the same time, Xiao Qingcheng shouted loudly, and with a seemingly casual side turn, she slapped back.

“Slap!”

The crisp slap landed on Xiao Qingxue’s face, and the entire front yard fell silent in an instant.

Xiao Qingcheng, who “fell” to the ground, pretended to be frightened and pulled Xiao Ze to hide in a corner.

But in a place unseen by others, her slightly reddening lips curled up, and her sharp eyes were filled with laughter.

“Ah! Xiao Qingcheng, you wretch, how dare you hit me! Do you think I won’t kill you?” Xiao Qingxue, enraged, suddenly drew the soft sword from her waist, ready to strike at Xiao Qingcheng.

Xiao Ze, seeing Xiao Qingxue’s astonishing speed as she mobilized all her internal energy, instinctively moved to shield Xiao Qingcheng.

Xiao Qingcheng, in the corner, pursed her lips, wanting to pull Xiao Ze to dodge.

But she found that,

Under Xiao Qingxue’s fully explosive state, she simply couldn’t move.

“Master, the strength of the third layer of internal energy is not to be underestimated. You haven’t even broken through the first layer; you can’t beat this crazy woman right now,” Little Pearl, hiding in her sleeve, somehow transmitted this voice into Xiao Qingcheng’s mind.

“Indeed! I’m still too weak at the moment!”

At this moment, on the southeast corner of the Xiao residence, on the attic, a tall figure stood facing the wind.

Bathed in the sunlight, a silver mask shone with dazzling brilliance.

“Report to the Honored One, the strange light has begun to flicker; the treasure has appeared.”

A black figure quickly flashed by and knelt respectfully behind the purple-robed man.

“Yingyi, what do you think… how will this little girl solve her current predicament?”

The black figure behind him was slightly shocked: “I… I don’t know. It’s rumored that the third miss of the Xiao family is a fool, and extremely ugly. How could such a person escape the vicious schemes of the eldest miss of the Xiao family?”

The purple-robed man, with his hands crossed over his chest, had his long, ink-black hair fluttering in the wind.

His fierce aura was tinged with a hint of laziness and playfulness.

“I don’t think so. A woman with a golden dantian and proficiency in medicine, poison, and curses will surely cause a sensation across the entire Phoenix Singing Continent. It’s just a matter of time.”

“But, how could that be possible? This third miss of the Xiao family doesn’t have a trace of internal energy!”

Yingyi’s voice was filled with astonishment.

After all, there were very few people in this world who could receive such an evaluation from his Honored One.

“So, I suddenly feel like doing a good deed and help her a bit.”

With that, the man raised a finger, as smooth as jade, and lightly tapped in mid-air.

A gust of wind, like lightning, flew over and instantly knocked the previously arrogant Xiao Qingxue flat.

“Ah! Ah! Ah!” Compared to the slap from Xiao Qingcheng just now, the effect of this gust of wind was much more significant.
