Chapter 296: Slapping the War God

In Rui’an City of the Ancient Martial Arts World.

Deep into the night, some people were still not asleep!

Oh! It turned out to be a man and a woman, one tall and handsome, with an air of unparalleled elegance. At a glance, he was an extraordinary man; the other, with a graceful figure, was clearly a woman.

Both of them were dressed in night attire, sneaking up to the perimeter of the Mo Mansion under the cover of darkness! Their intentions clearly not good—

Wait! Something’s happening!

The man, although masked, was obviously a good-looking guy from his physique, began to reach out towards his female companion!

Late at night, could they be planning a heated… encounter under the chill?

Highly possible! Don’t think it’s a wild guess!

This man is Wang Haoran, a smooth and remarkable individual, unparalleled by ordinary men.

His household boasts three wives, four concubines, five lovers, and six admirers! His confidantes are countless, all deeply devoted to him, which hints at how extraordinary he is!

And his female companion, naturally one of his women, is called Ning Xueluo, gentle, virtuous, and kind-hearted, honored with the title of “Snowfall Fairy.”

Given her character, she shouldn’t be out in the deep night in such an indecent act on the streets, but now she obeys Wang Haoran’s every command.

Never saying no, willingly cooperating with any request, her heart wholly tied to him, without regrets, just wishing to stay by his side…

And now, Wang Haoran and Ning Xueluo are gazing deeply at each other, their eyes filled with desire for one another, bodies slowly inching closer—

Suddenly, the system’s narration was interrupted by Wang Haoran.

“…System, you know it’s quiet late at night, can you stop yammering?”

“So much nonsense, isn’t it just a ‘Night Visit to the Mo Mansion’?”

“You dragged on for so long!”

[…Host, this system was just mimicking your morning’s—]

“What nonsense! I never drag on! Don’t make things up!”

[…But…]

“Just shut up, and be quiet!”

[…Okay.]

It definitely did! I even praised the host so much, thinking I’d be commended, but instead…

The system remained silent but sounded hurt with a soft “umm~”.

Next.

Wang Haoran began to get down to business.

He took Ning Xueluo’s hand and began instructing her.

“Xueluo, when I draw the people away, you sneak in and place these items.”

“Remember, if anything unexpected happens, leave immediately.”

“Got it?”

“Yes, I understand!”

Ning Xueluo nodded, carrying several items.

She was carrying the custom-made decorations embedded with cameras and listening devices that Wang Haoran brought from the outside world.

She also familiarized herself with the layout of the Mo Mansion from Wang Haoran.

Apart from Zhao Nishang, the Mo Mansion had only two late-stage Transformation cultivators, so Wang Haoran decided to lure Zhao Nishang out, while Ning Xueluo sneaked in to replace the items.

After clearing all his ability points, Wang Haoran’s combat power reached 1174, and with the skill “Explosion” increasing his power by 20%, it still couldn’t match Zhao Nishang’s late-stage Legendary 1600.

Still, though he couldn’t win in a fight, he could run! Positioning at the edge, with flexible output!

With the skills “Teleportation” and “Impenetrable Fortress lv7,” Zhao Nishang couldn’t possibly crush him from a distance of nearly a thousand meters!

Even as the War God of Piao Miao Holy Land, if I throw a shuriken at you from eight hundred meters away, what can you do!

As for luring Zhao Nishang out, Wang Haoran’s idea was simple and crude—

Teleport next to her and give her a slap!

If you don’t chase, I’ll slap you again!

I’ll see if the War God can endure such humiliation!

Without further ado.

Before making a move, Wang Haoran patiently spent over half an hour using his X-ray vision to meticulously scan several kilometers around the Mo Mansion, ensuring no unexpected people or objects were present.

After preparing everything,

Just as Wang Haoran was about to leave, Ning Xueluo walked over and gently straightened his clothes, then softly whispered.

Like a caring wife,

“Haoran, do your best!”

As the husband’s most reliable assistant, to be able to act together with him tonight and help out, even if it was as a thief, she was happy and even a bit eager.

“I’ll wait for you to return!”

Before Wang Haoran could reply, an unharmonious voice intruded:

[Hey! Host, not good, Ning Xueluo’s words sound like a typical death flag—]

“Hey!”

Wang Haoran, speechless, interrupted, “…System, can you shut up…”

Xueluo is giving me a tender look, don’t ruin the mood!

[…Okay.]

“You talk again, I’ll plug your mouth!”

But—

[…Even if a flag was raised, with this system, the host’s actions will proceed smoothly…]

The system weakly finished its statement.

This time, hearing Ning Xueluo claim to be Wang Haoran’s best assistant, the system couldn’t hold back—even if the host sealed its mouth, it would still speak out through trembling vocal cords:

[Host, this system is your most reliable assistant!]

[None other!]

That Ning Xueluo is just boasting!

“…”

“…Alright, alright, my best assistant, I’ll rely on you then!”

Hugging Ning Xueluo gently, Wang Haoran thought helplessly.

…

…

In the Mo Mansion,

Under the quiet night, everyone had returned to their rooms to rest.

Zhao Nishang was no exception.

At Piao Miao Summit, she trained every moment, sparing no effort. Now, having come down the mountain, she decided not to exhaust herself anymore!

So, she decided to enjoy herself thoroughly during her time off the mountain!

For this reason, after another feast tonight, she once again laid back comfortably on her bed.

In the darkness,

Teleporting in, Wang Haoran watched her sleeping face with interest.

She had a noble and elegant aura, a serene sleeping beauty. Watching her, one couldn’t help but think she was a dignified and aloof woman!

“Eating and sleeping all day, just like a pig!”

“However, this pig is quite good-looking, at least a Princess Peppa!”

But despite her fake sleep, Zhao Nishang’s perception was not as sharp as usual, yet she could still sense her surroundings.

Under normal circumstances, she would have noticed Wang Haoran’s close presence.

Fortunately, Wang Haoran had his “most reliable assistant” to help conceal it.

“System, this is a great help!”

[Host, isn’t it?]

[This is a new function I developed, burning the midnight oil to assist you!]

[As your most reliable assistant, my effectiveness far exceeds that woman outside!]

“Well, right!”

“From now on, I’ll rely on you for this power, my most reliable assistant!”

Wang Haoran mused, exasperated. Why bring Xueluo up again!

If you had showcased this ability earlier, I wouldn’t have asked Xueluo to assist!

Hearing the praise, the system was pleased: [Hehe… Host, we are one, no need to say “borrow”!]

“…”

Then,

Wang Haoran silently bent his body.

According to the plan, he was supposed to lure Zhao Nishang out, allowing Ning Xueluo to sneak in. But, realizing the system’s ability, he decided to proceed as planned, seeking revenge for being startled by Zhao Nishang earlier!

Watching her sleep, he smiled slightly, then raised his right hand, aimed at her left cheek, gathering strength.

To be precise, aiming at the corner of her left mouth.

“War God, huh?!”

“Even though your mouth isn’t crooked now, I still want to slap it!”

Wang Haoran took a deep breath—

Three, two, one, and hit her heavily!

“Pa—!!!”

A loud slap echoed through the room.

The resounding slap nearly knocked Zhao Nishang’s tranquil mouth askew!

Seeing her roll over from the impact, Wang Haoran immediately turned to flee!

Behind him,

Dazed from the slap, Zhao Nishang held her face. After a moment of confusion, she quickly realized what had happened.

“No way… I was slapped?”

As a late-stage Legendary master, her cheek’s defense was strong enough.

The slap didn’t hurt much, but the insult was enormous—

Unsurprisingly, the next moment,

In a fit of rage, her terrifying presence at the late-stage Legendary level enveloped the entire Mo Mansion.

Awakening everyone instantly!!!

Under such pressure, it felt as though someone was harshly pressing down on their heads.

However,

The momentum came swiftly and dissipated just as quickly, vanishing within two seconds, leaving many to doubt whether it was real.

In the room,

“Almost caused a panic… Thankfully, I controlled it…”

Regaining her senses, recalling her composure, Zhao Nishang quickly withdrew her aura, then gently caressed her cheek.

Despite her calm demeanor, her eyes were ice-cold, her expression seething with fury.

Sensing the fleeing culprit, her anger surged.

“Bastard!”

“Who the hell are you!”

What kind of person sneaks into someone’s room at night to slap them! Completely insane!

She didn’t care about how the intruder approached without being noticed, nor their bizarre intent to slap her.

All she wanted was revenge!

“Think you can escape? Dream on!”

Unable to contain herself, Zhao Nishang sneered.

In the next moment, her figure disappeared from the room.

Simultaneously, an incredibly swift figure appeared in the sky above the Mo Mansion—

This time, the War God of Piao Miao Holy Land was going all out!

She was determined to bring the despicable culprit to justice!
