Xiao Shi frowned and stared at King An coldly. Her fearless gaze carried a hint of scorn in it. “You’re addressed as a Royal Highness, and yet you need to rely on trickery to get a woman. What a joke! How pitiful! How sad!”

There was a slight change in King An’s expression as his smoldering gaze turned icy-cold. He disliked seeing that mocking smile on her gorgeous face and could not help but become upset at the sight of it.

“Pow!” He slapped her face.

As Xiao Shi was sent flying away, her body spun a few times in the air and then crashed heavily onto the ground. She ended up lying face-up on the thick and soft meadow.

King An laughed heartily and appeared beside her in a flash before squatting down to study her with a grin. “Sigh… I’ve committed a great sin. If Chu Li had witnessed that, I wonder how pained he would be!”

Xiao Shi asked calmly, “You’re doing this to me just to infuriate Chu Li?”

“Correct!” King An replied and laughed. “Since he keeps upsetting me, I’ll pay him back ten times over. I know that he’ll suffer more if I torture you instead of him. Chu Li will certainly be devastated if he sees your face right now!”

A bright red slap mark had appeared on Xiao Shi’s face.

This slap from King An showed just how strong he was. Anyone who saw this clear and distinct slap mark would be able to tell how painful it was for her.

Xiao Shi asked, “Are you not afraid that Chu Li will come and seek revenge?”

“He’s a useless piece of trash right now. Why would I be afraid of him?!” King An laughed scornfully.

Xiao Shi shook her head and said, “You’re still afraid of him. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have begged the Emperor to order him to come back.”

“Humph, I wanted him to come back so that I can torture him and make him suffer!” King An muttered coldly. “He’ll feel even more tormented when he sees you suffer, and he’ll wish he could kill himself. That would be truly satisfying!”

Xiao Shi replied, “You’re afraid that he’ll recover his martial arts, so you’re hoping to place him somewhere you can keep an eye on him. In the end, you’re still afraid of him.”

“Humph!” King An let out a cold laugh and shook his head. “My Consort, you’re very clever indeed. Unfortunately, clever people can never live long!”

Xiao Shi calmly asked, “Do you even dare to kill me?”

“I’ve changed my mind.” King An’s scornful smile turned into a pleasant one as his eyes roamed all over her body and lingered particularly on her rounded chest.

His gaze burned with lust once again. “We shall consummate our marriage first before I kill you. Do you think Chu Li will go crazy then? He’ll definitely feel remorseful and hate himself for causing your death. If it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t have to die.”

“If it hadn’t been for him, I would be dead already,” Xiao Shi replied.

“If he didn’t offend me, I wouldn’t need to kill you,” King An said with a grin. “I’ll tell him that I was the one who killed you. He’ll hate himself for not being able to save you and be tormented with guilt every single day. Haha. Satisfying! How satisfying!”

“You’re very despicable indeed,” Xiao Shi muttered. “But in the end, he’ll still cripple your cultivation.”

“Humph, I’m not the same person I used to be anymore.” King An shook his head and smiled faintly. “Now, I will be the one to cripple his cultivation instead. When he arrives at the Imperial Residence, I’ll cripple his cultivation once every few days so that he’ll never be able to turn the situation around. I’ll make him suffer for the rest of his life!”

While he was still speaking, he slowly stretched out his large hand to touch her rounded chest.

Xiao Shi kept his eyes on him and did not flinch at all.

King An’s hand came closer and closer until he was about to touch her.

“Bang!” King An was suddenly sent flying away and crashing into a peach tree beside them. Instantly, the tree leaves rustled and fell.

King An slowly slid off the tree and landed on the ground. He could not move his body and felt a violent and ravenous force surging through his body while trying to devour all of his cultivation. His vital organs had become severely injured.

“Puff!” He spat out a mouthful of blood and then turned to look at Chu Li in shock.

Chu Li appeared where King An had been earlier and lightly hit Xiao Shi twice on the body to unseal her acupuncture points before asking in a low voice, “My Lady, are you okay?”

Xiao Shi nodded.

Chu Li said apologetically, “I’ve come too late.”

Xiao Shi replied, “You came just in time.”

Chu Li gently touched her face and a surge of warm force flowed around in her cheek. When he withdrew his hand a few moments later, the red mark on Xiao Shi’s face had vanished completely and her cheek no longer hurt.

“Be careful!” Xiao Shi suddenly called out.

As King An swung his arm forward, a streak of light shot out of his hand and flew toward Chu Li’s back.

Chu Li turned around and flicked a finger.

“Ding…” A flying blade fell to the ground with a loud ringing sound.

Chu Li burst out laughing. King An had actually tried to attack him with a flying blade.

King An launched another flying blade without caring whether or not it would hit its target and quickly charged into the forest.

Chu Li instantly appeared in front of King An and struck a palm to his chest.

“Bang!” King An was sent flying off again before crashing into another tree. As he slid off the tree weakly and spat out a mouthful of blood once more.

Chu Li went forward and pulled him up by his collar before appearing in front of Xiao Shi a moment later.

King An remained calm and asked, “Haven’t you been crippled of your martial arts?”

Chu Li scoffed coldly and replied, “Can’t I recover my martial arts after having it crippled? If Your Royal Highness has managed to recover your cultivation, why can’t I do the same?”

While he was speaking, he raised a hand to slap King An on the face and then continued to slap him a few more times. Each slap sounded sharp, clear, and loud.

King An’s face soon became swollen and red.

Chu Li proceeded to slap him over ten more times until King An’s face swelled up even more. Then, Chu Li stopped and turned to look at Xiao Shi. “My Lady, what do you think?”

Xiao Shi frowned and glanced at King An. “Cripple his martial arts.”

King An was shocked and started to feel anxious. Indeed, women were the most ruthless people in the world. What a vicious woman she was!

“We can keep that for later.” Chu Li shook his head.

King An secretly sighed in relief.

King An simply could not understand how he could have ended up in such a state. He had achieved immense improvement in his martial arts skills, so he should have been able to defeat Chu Li without using much effort. Moreover, Chu Li had been crippled of his martial arts. How could Chu Li possibly overpower him in a battle?

In fact, Chu Li’s martial arts had been enhanced to a terrifying extent, so he was still no match for Chu Li even though he had become far more powerful than before.

King An’s confidence had been completely crushed by those few slaps from Chu Li so he was left with an endless rage and murderous desire. This Chu Li was really his nemesis and was fated to be his enemy. If he could not kill Chu Li, his life would be a living hell!

Chu Li violently tossed him aside. “Get lost!”

King An was sent flying away into the distance and seemed as though he was riding on the clouds before he finally fell onto a tree branch. He was startled when the long and thin tree branch started bending down under his weight but failed to circulate his inner energy properly since his vital organ had been severely injured.

“Bang!” In the end, as he fell and crashed onto the ground with a loud thud, he felt as though his vital organs were tumbling around inside him again and spat out yet another mouthful of blood.

He felt much better instead after having spat out that mouthful of blood and quickly jumped to his feet to leave. He was afraid that Chu Li might change his mind and cripple his martial arts again, so he endured the pain and desperately ran away.

Xiao Shi asked in confusion, “Why did you let him go?”

Chu Li replied, “You don’t have to worry about him.”

“You’re planning to kill him?” Xiao Shi asked with a frown.

She was exceptionally smart. Logically speaking, this was a good chance for Chu Li to make King An suffer before crippling his martial arts. In fact, Chu Li could have even broken King An’s arms or legs.

Chu Li’s decision to let King An go so easily was completely contrary to his usual way of doing things, so the only explanation was that he had made up his mind to kill King An.

He nodded lightly.

Xiao Shi said, “Since you’re planning to kill him, you could’ve done it just now. What’s there to hesitate about?”

“It’s not the right time yet,” Chu Li replied while shaking his head.

If he killed King An just now, the Emperor would appear in an instant, and Xiao Shi would consequently get dragged into trouble. Chu Li would never allow that to happen and would do anything to prevent such an outcome.

Moreover, Chu Li wanted to make sure that he would be able to get away safely and return to Fairy’s Capital in the future. If he killed King An so recklessly, it would be the same as him seeking to perish together with King An, and his losses would outweigh his gains.
