This is the first update today. Hmm, I wonder how many more updates there will be today. Brothers who feel in good spirits and have time might want to wait a little longer.

This journey back to the Southern Sky was the most humiliating moment in Jun Moxie’s two lifetimes; before this, no one had ever managed to toy with the Evil Monarch, whose name resonated throughout the cosmos and struck fear into both the righteous and the wicked, as if he were merely a plaything in the palm of their hand!

Not even in this other world!

That sense of suffocation, that utter disgrace, ultimately forced Jun Moxie to retreat into the Hongjun Tower for secluded practice to avoid it. Although his cultivation saw immense progress because of this incident, for Jun Moxie, he was still forced into it!

It wasn't something he initiated willingly!

Therefore, Jun Moxie had long sought to reclaim his dignity, but he never knew who had truly manipulated him. Now, having first confirmed the identity of Qianxun the Snake King, and then witnessing Mei Xueyan's earth-shattering, ghost-wailing physical combat prowess, coupled with her own admission, it was finally certain: the mastermind was this cold, aloof woman before him!

Jun Moxie let out a long cry, completely ignoring Mei Xueyan’s advance, flipping backward and retreating with a series of somersaults, yet maneuvering with such profound mystery that he shifted direction five or six times, effortlessly evading all of Mei Xueyan's relentless attacks, before suddenly dropping down with abrupt force!

If that’s the case, then let me teach you a lesson, girl! Let you taste what it’s like to be toyed with, and see if it feels good, if it leaves you craving more!

She clearly possesses superior profound skill, yet she arrogantly stipulates that no Xuan Power is to be used in their sparring!

Exploiting the enemy’s weakness while using my own strength—she is asking for a beating. No wonder big brother is ruthless and shows no mercy to beautiful women!

In the next instant, Mei Xueyan suddenly felt the pressure of the battle surge immensely, the increase so rapid it almost made her feel suffocated. The descending Jun Moxie first launched his right foot! But as his right foot kicked toward her throat, his left foot, strangely, arrived first at her lower abdomen!

Shameless, despicable! Mei Xueyan’s face turned cold. She arched her body back, and her right hand flashed down like lightning, slicing toward Jun Moxie’s left foot, but she realized she had struck empty air. Jun Moxie brought both hands up into fists—two gale-force strikes aimed at her ears. Mei Xueyan tilted her head and lunged forward, driving her knee viciously toward Jun Moxie’s lower abdomen!

With a bang, their knees collided. Just as Mei Xueyan prepared to retreat, Jun Moxie kept his knees locked against hers but twisted his lower body with uncanny agility, kicking out toward Mei Xueyan’s thigh!

The Young Master’s knee was angled upward, yet the heel of his swinging right foot was actually pointing toward the sky! The calf muscle was also facing upward! This was fundamentally abnormal, utterly defying common sense. One must know that unless a leg is forcibly broken or destroyed by an irresistible force, such a posture should never occur!

But Jun Moxie was attacking with precisely such a stance!

Even with Mei Xueyan’s deep experience and abundant combat knowledge, she was greatly shocked by this sudden distortion. She bent her body and retreated at top speed, but Jun Moxie lowered his head sharply, smashing his forehead directly toward hers—a headbutt! Mei Xueyan roared in fury: “How dare you!” Her left palm, luminous white as jade, slapped toward his forehead. If this strike landed, even without Yuan Power channeled into it, it would be enough to make Young Master Jun’s head bloom with ten thousand varieties of peach blossoms.

But just then, Jun Moxie’s golden hair ribbon suddenly burst open with a pop, and his long, black hair shot straight out, every strand stiff, like thousands of golden needles, violently piercing toward Mei Xueyan’s entire upper body!

Even hair can be used to injure people!?

Jun Moxie’s offensive did not cease. His shoulder suddenly jutted out, twitching, as if it had detached from his body, blocking Mei Xueyan’s left palm!

This turn of events was truly sudden and utterly unexpected. After calculating and considering countless possibilities, Mei Xueyan had only judged that his attacks, however bizarre, should end here. Who expected thousands of hairs to shoot toward her? With a soft gasp, her body rapidly leaned back, retreating, ascending—both movements completed in the blink of an eye. But the palm strike that shot out from under Jun Moxie’s armpit was already there, swift as lightning and faster than the eye could follow, striking her soft chest!

Mei Xueyan let out a cry of shock and anger. She could no longer adhere to the agreement she had personally set not to use Xuan Qi. She shot upward like a firework rocket, accompanied by a cold snort of shame and rage!

Jun Moxie felt that the place his palm touched was soft and exceedingly elastic. Before he could even exert force to injure the enemy, Mei Xueyan’s body had already shot up. His hand had been resting against Mei Xueyan’s beautiful chest, and as she ascended, his hand naturally slid down, feeling the journey from high mountain to deep valley, from rolling hills to flat plains—an indescribable pleasure, as if stroking a piece of flawless jade, and a warm jade at that…

Instinctively, Jun Moxie couldn't help but pinch when his palm slid to a certain spot. This pinch almost caused Mei Xueyan’s rapidly ascending body to fall back down…

This pinch felt like squeezing cotton, and full, prominent cotton at that!

The boy couldn't help but blurt out: “Nice!”

Just as he was savoring the sensation, the biting wind swept down from above. Mei Xueyan, having suffered a major loss, plummeted from the sky, seemingly bringing the entire tempest down with her! Ever since transforming into human shape, she had always been pure and immaculate; few even knew she was female. This scoundrel had just taken shameless liberties!

Mei Xueyan was truly furious to the point of exploding!

Her terrifyingly potent Xuan Skill was now unleashed without reservation, Yuan Power erupting completely, pressing down wildly! The sky gathered wind and clouds, accompanied by thunder and lightning, descending upon Jun Moxie like the end of the world!

Jun Moxie was startled by this sudden change. He had not expected this woman’s cultivation to reach such a level! None of the masters he had previously encountered could compare to Mei Xueyan before him!

Seeing this world-shaking attack about to crash down upon him—a blow potentially fatal! In desperation, Jun Moxie shouted, “Stop! You lost but refuse to concede, trying to renege?”

The moment the words left his mouth, the wind and clouds halted!

Mei Xueyan landed before him, her face etched with murderous intent, her gaze sharp enough to cut him into a thousand pieces!

Though her body, face, and eyes were filled with killing intent, her cheeks were flushed crimson. Her previous transcendent, immortal demeanor was utterly gone, replaced by the fiery anger and shyness of a young woman!

And her hair was standing on end in fury!

But Jun Moxie was perfectly composed, wearing a solemn and serious expression: “Miss Mei, the winner and loser are decided now. I was fortunate; I thank Miss Mei for her concession. It’s getting late; I shall take my leave now!”

Was she concerned about a petty matter like the victory or defeat?

What needed to be addressed now was that this brat played the hooligan right under her nose, took advantage, and now wanted to dust off his hands and leave! Mei Xueyan had completely forgotten the original purpose of this battle, filled only with the strange, explosive anger of being ambushed in a ditch and utterly humiliated!

The victor is decided? How? I don’t know! And he thinks he can just leave? This statement proved that Mei Xueyan was truly maddened. After all, Mei Xueyan was an unparalleled powerhouse, always aloof; she shouldn't be resorting to arguing after a defeat. But the current situation was too delicate. The lingering sensation from that bizarre pinch on her chest seemed to remain, and the inexplicable flutter in her heart was still surging! Her entire body felt feverish, compounded by the fury of humiliation burning in her chest. Without thinking, she thrust out her right hand and shouted coldly: “Let’s see how you escape my grasp now! Heaven and Earth Cage!”

Never mind that Young Master Jun Moxie looked solemn on the surface; inside, he was screaming with exhilaration. This felt good!

This settled every grievance. Not only was revenge taken, but he had collected a great deal of interest as well. While he was secretly gloating, his whole body suddenly froze, unable to move an inch, as if even his divine sense, will, and thoughts were completely locked down!

This is bad!

This so-called “Heaven and Earth Cage,” the Young Master was certainly not unfamiliar with it. It was the only secret technique he had encountered in this life that could comprehensively suppress him, something even the Eight Escapes of the Hongjun Tower couldn't counter. This secret art had previously appeared in the hands of the Heavenly Punishment Elder, Mei Zunzhe. To think this woman also possessed it—this complicated things greatly!

Forget explaining it at length in text; in reality, this entire line of thought in Young Master Jun’s mind was only the briefest of mental processes, so swift it was electrifying. And the Young Master’s thoughts ground to a halt right there.

It wasn't that the Young Master didn't want to think further, because Mei Xueyan opposite him had already launched her attack without mercy using her delicate fists and embroidered boots!

In the next moment, Young Master Jun’s only thought was: Damn it, I’m going to get thrashed again!

Bang! A punch landed on his eye socket. Bang! Another one followed! Bang, bang, bang... His backside became a punching bag! Bang, bang, bang! His back, thighs, shoulders, chest—nothing was spared…

Jun Moxie was like a withered leaf tumbling in the wind, rising and falling, unable to touch the ground. The sound of the bangs resembled a frantic drumbeat. Before he could even process what was happening, he had endured thousands of blows in the blink of an eye. Not only did both his eyes instantly turn into the black-and-yellow of a panda, but his entire head swelled into a pig's snout. As for his backside and other prominent areas, they swelled and puffed up visibly to the naked eye…

Bang!

Young Master Jun finally crashed back onto the ground, landing flat on his back, looking as wretched as possible!

Mei Xueyan placed her slender right foot squarely on the Young Master’s chest, looking down at him with a smile full of satisfaction, and asked triumphantly: “In a contest of fists and feet, who was victorious?”

As she spoke, Mei Xueyan was slightly out of breath. Her chest rose and fell gently. That barrage of blows had been delivered all in one continuous breath, never pausing to catch her wind. She had used only physical strength. It would be a lie to say it was not tiring.

It was tiring, a little, but absolutely worth it. This settled every score, not only repaying the initial debt but collecting a large amount of interest too! Satisfying! Exhilarating!

Miss Mei Xueyan felt extremely gratified in her heart!

When asking the question, she had, of course, lifted the lock of the Heaven and Earth Cage on Jun Moxie, otherwise how could he speak?

But Mei Xueyan had made a mistake, a very serious mistake. She had been too careless. That “Heaven and Earth Cage”—she really shouldn't have lifted it!
