Chapter 60: Whoever Hurts Our Senior Sister Dies!
For a moment, the clearing was silent, like time had stopped.
It was Li Yun’s harsh coughing that pulled everyone back to their senses.
Wang Niu’s brother stood beside Li Yun, and he was the first to rush over to check on his own brother’s condition, asking, “Are you okay?”
Wang Ma blinked at his brother in confusion, saying, “What’s wrong? I’m fine. I just had a dream.”
Wang Niu’s eyes turned red as he smacked his brother’s back hard, saying, “Good if you’re fine.”
Around them, some people looked thrilled, some looked shocked, and some looked embarrassed and worried.
Only Li Wan Zhi strode forward, tall and straight, his spirit high. He lifted his voice and shouted to everyone: “Everyone!”
When they turned to look at him, he said: “It’s time to honor the wager-”
Then he raised his voice even more, dragging out the last word so it echoed through the trees, repeating: “-now!”
No one answered at first.
Li Wan Zhi reached into his spatial pouch and took out two grand preceptor chairs, setting them behind Ye Wan Wan and Bai Jian as he said, “Senior sister, junior sister, sit.”
Ye Wan Wan and Bai Jian sat with calm ease.
Everyone: “…”
Li Wan Zhi and Fang He An stepped to the side and faced the crowd, saying, “Come on, kneel.”
Everyone: “…”
The whole setup looked exactly like kneeling to the family elders at a wedding. Faces went pale and then green with anger.
Just-awakened Li Yun didn’t know what had happened, but even he could tell the mood was wrong, asking, “Uh, can anyone tell me what’s going on?”
No one wanted to speak. Wang Niu left his brother’s side and marched toward Ye Wan Wan’s group. Li Wan Zhi and Fang He An fixed their eyes on him, already thinking that if this bull dared to move against them, they would kill him.
But the huge man, nearly two meters tall, dropped to his knees in front of Ye Wan Wan with a thud and knocked his head to the ground three times as he said, “I, Niuzi, accept the loss. Ancestors, I was wrong!”
Fang He An snorted.
Li Wan Zhi, with a needling tone, asked, “Wrong how?”
Wang Niu said, “I was blind.”
He added, “I failed to recognize true strength.”
He added again, “I shouldn’t have looked down on you…”
He glanced at their clothes, clearly trying to figure out their sect. Fang He An reminded him, saying, “Heavenly One Sect.”
Wang Niu nodded quickly and shouted, “I shouldn’t have looked down on the Heavenly One Sect. From now on, when I see you, I’ll admit I’m your grandson!”
Thump, thump, thump. Three kowtows done.
Then, slap, slap, slap. Three sharp slaps.
When he hit the fifth, Ye Wan Wan said in a mild voice, “Since your attitude is good, we’ll cut it in half. Five slaps will do.”
Kneeling, Wang Niu thanked her. He was frank and open, with no tricks in his eyes. Ye Wan Wan and Fang He An could tell he was brave but not cunning, and not a bad person. Acceptable.
With Wang Niu done, it was the others’ turn.
Ye Wan Wan and Li Wan Zhi looked over the faces one by one. The ones who had jeered the loudest just now didn’t dare make a sound.
It was awkward for them, but since Wang Niu and his brothers had set the example, the rest could only accept the loss one by one. In a short time, most had honored the wager, even if their self-slaps did not ring very crisp.
Li Wan Zhi was about to roll up his sleeves and do it for them, but Fang He An held him back, saying, “Forget it. Don’t make them real enemies. They’ll trip us up later.”
Li Wan Zhi had to back down, though he looked a little regretful, saying, “I still haven’t tried what it feels like to slap someone’s face. Next time I’m trying it!”
Fang He An: “…”
Most people accepted the loss, but a few refused. They scrambled for excuses until they spotted the still-intact entrance high above. They shouted, “We said the Dream Realm had to be broken open. The Dream Realm entrance is still there, so we didn’t lose.”
“Right, not a loss.”
Li Wan Zhi’s group of four: [Pfft.]
Ye Wan Wan said lightly, “How boring.”
Bai Jian said, “Truly boring.”
They had watched a mob kneel for ages and still couldn’t tell who was who.
Ye Wan Wan tilted her head toward Bai Jian and smiled, saying, “Since senior sister is bored, let’s go.”
Bai Jian answered, “Mm.”
They stood, and Li Wan Zhi and Fang He An fell in behind them at once, scooping up the chairs too. Joke’s on the rest. He had swiped those from an inn to bring back to honor their master and senior uncle, so of course he was taking them.
They would not let these people have them for free.
As the four left, Ye Wan Wan and Li Wan Zhi let their eyes sweep over the stubborn faces, the message obvious: [Remember these faces. We’ll settle this later.]
Many hearts jumped with worry. But seeing Ji Chang Huai and his people still standing calmed them down.
Dou Ming had held back for a long time, telling himself not to stoop to their level. But when Ye Wan Wan’s mocking gaze swept over him, he couldn’t hold it in anymore and shouted, “You stop right there!”
Ye Wan Wan and Li Wan Zhi turned together, their eyes bright, not worried at all, but eager instead.
Li Wan Zhi thought: [I was just looking for an excuse to make a move.]
Right then, the vortex in the sky quietly unraveled. A strand of blue-gold spirit light fluttered out, flew to Ye Wan Wan, and landed before her. Ye Wan Wan paused, and in that light she saw the Dream Spirit’s sheepish smile. No features were clear, but everyone else’s face changed at once.
“Companion Spirit!”
Dou Ming and Ye Qian paled, then shouted, “Secret Realm Spirit!”
With it, one could pass through an entire secret realm unblocked, maybe even absorb the whole realm.
Even Ji Chang Huai froze for a heartbeat.
An instant later, Dou Ming and Ye Qian moved first. Without a second’s delay, they lunged before Li Yun’s group could react.
Ye Wan Wan raised an eyebrow, swept the Dream Spirit into her sleeve, and reached for her sword.
But a Greatforce Sword swept through the air first. Bai Jian flashed in front of Ye Wan Wan, gripping a Greatforce Sword as tall as herself, and brought down a mountain-like strike on Dou Ming.
Dou Ming tried to dodge, but he couldn’t. The sword aura had locked on.
Boom.
Bai Jian hammered him into the ground, more than ten feet deep, and he couldn’t climb out. Then she turned to Ye Qian and swept the blade at her too, merciless.
A palm strike came from behind Ye Qian. Ji Chang Huai, overflowing with spiritual power, met Bai Jian’s sword aura to support Ye Qian.
Ji Chang Huai said, “Circulate.”
Ye Qian at once circulated her energy. Sword aura surged out.
Ye Qian struck with her palm.
Boom.
The impact of power blasted everyone back.
“Late Golden Core against Golden Core Great Perfection!”
The two forces collided, gouging a pit more than ten feet deep under their feet, and even sent Dou Ming crashing down deeper.
But the two sides didn’t separate. They were evenly matched.
“A tie!”
People were stunned.
Someone yelled, “What tie? The woman launched a sneak attack. Young Master Ji had to respond at the last second, of course he was slower. How is that a tie?”
Everyone knew he was flattering the Supreme Sect, but no one answered, not even Li Yun, who always praised Ji Chang Huai.
Because everyone could see: Bai Jian was one person, while Ji Chang Huai and Ye Qian were two.
One against two, and still a tie.
This woman’s body and talent were terrifying.
“But even then, she’s about to lose.”
People looked and saw it too. Ji Chang Huai’s realm was higher than Bai Jian’s, and he had Ye Qian’s help. Bai Jian had already been forced to retreat one step, then two.
As she took the third step back, two figures closed in without a sound, one dropping from above the Dream Realm entrance, the other from behind Bai Jian, both approaching Ji Chang Huai.
A chill of death crawled up Ji Chang Huai’s spine. He withdrew his palm almost without thinking and dragged Ye Qian back fast.
Where they had stood, two people appeared.
Ye Wan Wan.
And Shen Nan Zhou.
In both their eyes, the same killing light flickered as they said in unison: “Whoever hurts our senior sister dies!”
