"Auntie?"
Tang San's gaze froze momentarily before his fists clenched tightly.
He remembered knocking on the door non-stop when he and his dad visited Yuexuan, but his aunt just wouldn't open the door.
And when she finally did come out, her flesh-colored stockings were torn, similar to Xiaowu's appearance today.
"Boom!"
Tang San's aura exploded wildly and his blue hair danced unrestrained, like a frenzied demon.
"Tsk, thinking of fighting?"
Luo Yu smiled, a thick disdain flashing in the depths of his eyes.
A cruel smile appeared on Tang San's lips.
"Heh, you're just a pretty boy."
"Today, I'm going to beat you to death, and no one can stop me."
"Oh?"
Luo Yu raised an eyebrow, stretched out his finger, and pointed to Tang San's right.
"You want me to turn my head so you can sneak attack?"
Tang San sneered contemptuously.
"Playing such a petty trick with me, I don't know whether to call you naive or just too childish."
The next second, a sharp sound, like glass shattering, rang out.
Tang San took a heavy slap to the face, stumbled, and his soul light almost extinguished.
Luo Yu sighed at Xiaowu.
"You see, some people just love to be too clever for their own good."
"Hiss—"
Tang San grimaced in pain.
He hadn't fully recovered from the slap he got from Tang Yuehua the last time, and now he was hit with a forceful, heavy slap, feeling like his facial bones were about to crack.
He looked at the silhouette that had suddenly appeared in the room.
A beautiful woman in high heels and a black silk long dress, her beautiful eyes filled with murderous and annoyed fury.
"Breaking into my husband's room, are you looking to die!"
A Wu had been guarding the door to the room, afraid that the other girls might come and disturb her daughter.
But listening and listening, she couldn't stand it any longer and couldn't help running back to the room.
She hadn't expected that just after she'd left for a while, Tang San would creep up here. Wasn't this her negligence?
Hearing the beautiful woman speak, Tang San's body trembled, disbelief flashing across his eyes.
"If I remember correctly, aren't you Xiaowu's mother?"
"Whom do you call husband?"
"Coming here to disturb my husband, you deserve to die!"
A Wu had no mood to talk to him any further.
A powerful aromatic kick was launched at him.
The might of the ferocious beast was fully demonstrated, scattering Tang San's soul light and making him groan in pain.
Tang San clutched his stomach, feeling as frustrated as a dog, completely in disarray.
He pointed at the beautiful woman, then pointed at Xiaowu and Luo Yu.
"This... this guy and your daughter have already..."
"And you also call him husband?"
"This..."
Xiaowu's cheeks reddened, as getting caught in such a situation was overwhelmingly embarrassing.
She spat out coldly.
"Yes, it's exactly what you're thinking."
"But, this is our family's business. What can you do about it?"
Crazy, it was all too crazy.
Tang San had no idea what to say anymore.
The flames of jealousy in his heart had flared up mightily.
Why, why could this pretty boy have both Xiaowu and her?
And he, being so outstanding, was still being beaten and scolded.
Why are all the good fortunes others' to have?
The world is too unfair, I, Tang San, will not accept this!
"Bang!"
A Wu was not in the habit of pampering him, with a series of fierce kicks from her high heels.
She even despised Tang San for touching the soles of her shoes.
She deliberately isolated every inch of her body with soul light.
Tang San tried to activate his soul power to resist, but what could A Wu's strength give him a chance to struggle?
It was a one-sided slaughter.
Tang San endured A Wu's beating, feeling like several ribs had been broken, with agony spreading throughout his body.
But that wasn't the worst pain.
Because Luo Yu and Xiaowu completely ignored him, entwining affectionately, whispering sweet nothings of love.
Shrimp and pork heart, the real deal.
Tang San spat out a mouthful of hot blood and passed out.
"Husband, he's fainted," A Wu said.
Luo Yu glanced over and waved his hand dismissively.
"Don't bother with him, keep hitting. What if he's faking it?"
"If he really did faint, just hit him awake."
"Alrighty!"
A Wu continued her assault, unleashing the rage in her heart.
Her daughter had finally been chosen, by a one in nine chance,
Was that easy?
Moreover, she had already devised a plan with her daughter to compete for favor.
That was to seize every opportunity,
And try to conceive a little baby.
This interruption greatly diminished the chances of success in their plan, how could she not be angry?
Tang San was beaten to a pulp, lying on the ground like a lump of mud, especially his face, which was no longer recognizable.
They say you should never hit a person in the face.
But A Wu, she aimed specifically for his face.
"Husband, you and Xiaowu go to my room. It's such a good time, don't let such people waste it," she said.
A Wu hurriedly ushered Luo Yu and Xiaowu to her room, and before closing the door, she blinked her beautiful eyes, giving her daughter an encouraging look.
Then she went back, intending to continue beating Tang San.
But when she returned, she found only a pool of blood on the floor, the window was open, and Tang San had disappeared without a trace.
A Wu placed her hands on her slender waist adorned with willows, her charming pink eyes flashing a fierce look.
"Heh, lucky you're quick on your feet, otherwise I'd have killed you!"
...
Downstairs at the inn, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun listened to the dull thuds from upstairs and Tang San's agonized screaming.
They covered their mouths, barely suppressing their laughter.
After a moment of silence.
The upstairs window suddenly shattered, and slivers of wood fell scattering down.
"Crash!"
"Bang!"
A bloodied figure leaped from above.
Limping.
And fled into the distance in a sorry state.
Mubai, watching the long trail of blood on the street, had a look of surprise on his face.
"What the heck just whizzed by?"
"Mubai, what do you think?" Ma Hongjun asked with glinting little eyes.
The two men exchanged glances and laughed heartily.
Dai Mubai, clutching his chest wound, said mockingly, "That kid came swaggering over, didn't he."
"Why did he run without saying goodbye?"
"Haha, I thought this guy would have to leave this building with his eyes closed," Ma Hongjun said.
"You don't get it," Dai Mubai said. "Brother Yu clearly didn't want to play him to death in one go, he's waiting to have fun with him later."
Ma Hongjun shook his head with a cold smile, "Heh, the dude totally had it coming, getting beaten without learning his lesson."
"Would he have been hit if he were as savvy as the two of us?"
Dai Mubai sighed, "Actually, haven't you noticed? If you don't provoke Brother Yu, he's not as ferocious as imagined and is actually willing to reason with you."
"It's a pity, though. We missed the best opportunity, and now we can't cozy up to them even if we want to."
"Sigh."
The two sighed in unison, their eyes filled with regret.
As for Tang San's attempt to rally them, it was a joke in their eyes.
...
The night passed and the red sun rose in the east.
The sunlight slipped through the gaps in the windows into the hotel room.
Luo Yu got up and examined the peacefully sleeping Xiaowu beside him with a trace of bewilderment in his eyes.
He had no idea what had transpired.
Xiaowu had always been quite shy, he didn't know what had happened.
She was unusually proactive this time, like she was on a burst of adrenaline.
He couldn't guess why at the moment; maybe it was the long time since they had last seen each other?
Luo Yu shook his head, planning to get out of bed.
Suddenly, a commotion came from outside the window.
Listening intently, it was the dense sound of carriage wheels, stopping at the doorway...
