Chapter 40: The Curtain Falls

“Bang—Bam—”

As expected, Yun Fengchuan was taken down after just a few moves.

Wang Haoran didn’t know why she was so cocky.

One was someone who spent all day indoors studying Gu techniques and took shortcuts to reach the initial Hua Jin stage; the other had fought through the ranks in the ancient martial arts world and was at the mid-Hua Jin stage. The outcome was quickly decided.

Moreover, with Wang Haoran and Yun Ling’er around, Ning Xueluo wasn’t afraid of Yun Fengchuan’s various Gu techniques at all.

Yun Fengchuan came in; Ning Xueluo pushed her back with a palm strike.

Yun Fengchuan dodged; Ning Xueluo whipped her with a left leg kick.

Yun Fengchuan tried to escape; Ning Xueluo kicked her with a right back kick.

Rise—

Fall—

“Ah”—

Down.

After repeating this four or five times, Yun Fengchuan finally despaired.

But she didn’t beg for mercy.

When Ning Xueluo stabbed her sword into Yun Fengchuan’s chest, she tightly gripped the blade, her hands and chest covered in blood.

But her expression remained fierce.

“You… you all wait, someone will… will avenge… avenge me…”

“I’ll… be… waiting… for you… in hell…”

Seeing her like this, Wang Haoran was indifferent.

You couldn’t even predict your own death today, yet you think you know someone will avenge you?

Finally, Yun Fengchuan completely cooled off.

Although it’s said that when a person dies, their Gu dies too, Wang Haoran still burned the bodies of Yun Fengchuan, Yang Dongfang, and Uncle Tai together.

The two Grand Priests present didn’t oppose it either.

The matter finally came to an end.

As night fell, everyone returned to Yunlai Village.

***

At night, the lights were bright.

Yun Ling’er went to her grandmother’s place, while Wang Haoran, Ning Xueluo, Xia Xinyan, and Liu Yunshuang were arranged to rest in a bamboo house next to Yun Ling’er’s home.

Here, there was also a suspended Wang Yuxiao.

Wang Yuxiao: Heroine, Blood Butterfly Leader (undecided)

Martial Strength: 240 (initial Dark Jin)

Physique: 157

Mental Strength: 131

Affection: -27

After checking the stats and seeing her gritting her teeth in defiance, Wang Haoran spun her around by her foot.

With Wang Yuxiao’s strength, she wouldn’t be injured, just a little uncomfortable.

The other three girls sat at the table, cupping their faces, smiling as they watched Wang Yuxiao spin around in the air.

Wang Yuxiao was already feeling utterly hopeless.

She had just come to see her fiancé!

Now, her fiancé was gone, the King of Assassins was gone too.

Plus, her father had long been gone, so no one could annul the marriage contract.

When she returned, she would have to burn that contract and pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, she’d be a widow!

And still a virgin widow at that!

As for revenge…

A smart woman doesn’t suffer immediate losses. I’ll remember this grudge and repay it later! As the saying goes:

A woman’s revenge is never too late, even after ten years!

When I get stronger, I’ll return it all in kind!

For now, I need to find a way to escape.

Unfortunately, to her despair, these people were impenetrable.

Whether she threatened, cursed, softened, or tried to bribe, they all just smiled and speculated where hitting her would make her scream the loudest!

That man was one thing, but what about the women? Why were they like this too?

They even got hands-on, pointing, squeezing, and evaluating her!

If she hadn’t seen them kissing that man with such infatuated expressions, she would have doubted their preferences!

Seeing Wang Yuxiao gritting her teeth, Wang Haoran decided to tease her.

“Will you seek revenge on us in the future?”

“No!”

“You’re lying! Time to get hit!”

Bang—

“Let me ask you again, will you seek revenge on us in the future?”

“Yes…”

“You’re still so arrogant even in our hands? Time to get hit!”

Bang—

“You bastard…!”

“You’re cursing me? Time to get hit!”

Bang—

“…”

“You’re cursing me in your heart, time to get hit!”

Bang—

Seeing the affection drop to [-28] and [-29], Wang Haoran gave her two more slaps.

At this moment, Xia Xinyan raised her hand.

“Haoran, let me do it!”

She walked over to Wang Yuxiao.

“Call me sister!”

“?” Wang Yuxiao didn’t know what she was up to.

“Hurry up and call me!”

Bang—

“…Sister…”

“Good sister!”

“Good sister…”

“Little Yan-jie!”

“Little Yan-jie…”

“Good, dear sister!”

Xia Xinyan was very satisfied, patting Wang Yuxiao’s head.

Suddenly, “Bang—” a sound rang out.

It was Wang Haoran.

He slapped Wang Yuxiao on the rear.

“Why did you hit me again!”

“Got used to it…”

“You… you… you…!”

“Boohoo… boohoo…”

Finally, Wang Yuxiao couldn’t hold it in. She released her bitten lips, her eyes turning red.

She began to sob.

“You big jerk!”

“Why are you humiliating me like this!”

“If you have the guts, kill me! If not, I will definitely kill you!”

“Boohoo…”

Wang Yuxiao’s tears fell onto the floor.

She had been holding it in, but Wang Haoran’s sneak attack made her whole body tremble, and she couldn’t hold back anymore. Everything she had been suppressing erupted.

This unfamiliar feeling was both novel and terrifying.

But mostly, it was humiliating.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the strange sensation made her completely lose her composure.

Seeing Wang Yuxiao crying so bitterly, Xia Xinyan felt too embarrassed to continue teasing her.

At this moment, Ning Xueluo walked over.

While gently comforting Wang Yuxiao, she asked Wang Haoran.

“Haoran, should I help Xiao Xiao recover her memories, just like Xiaoyan and the others?”

“Hmm, sure! Go ahead!” Wang Haoran replied.

He thought for a moment. Wang Yuxiao’s affection was -45, it needed to be resolved. If she could recover her memory, that would be best.

If she regained her memory, even if she didn’t love him anymore, considering their past, at least she wouldn’t hate him too much.

If she couldn’t recover it, he’d have to “educate” her slowly.

Hearing Wang Haoran’s response, Luoluo swiftly chopped Wang Yuxiao’s neck with a hand strike.

Wang Yuxiao immediately fainted.

Then, Luoluo gently laid her down.

As she moved her to the bedroom, seeing Xia Xinyan and Liu Yunshuang watching her, Luoluo explained.

“Xiao Xiao is stronger, so I wasn’t as gentle as before.”

(tln : ahh, luoluo did the same with Xianyan and Yunshuang. that’s why both of them recovered their memories of past cycles)

“Considering Xiao Xiao’s physical condition, that’s why I used so much force just now.”
