The regret that flooded Fang Jiuyuan's heart was profound. He had actually believed that reaching the Ninth Heaven realm meant he could successfully court a cold beauty like Qin Yuting, only to be met with a firm rejection!

However, Qin Yuting was a daughter of the Feng family, and his own father still needed to rely on that fellow, Feng Yan. It was better not to cause a scene then, but now, finally, there was a beautiful woman who seemed to have neither status nor standing—he thought his chance had arrived. Yet, who would have guessed this little lady was even more infuriating than Qin Yuting?

Even if her words sounded so naive, even if she spoke them without malice, Fang Jiuyuan's heart still burned with fury.

“Xue Ming, where did you dig up this wild woman? Does she not even know the meaning of modesty?” In his rage, Fang Jiuyuan vented his fury directly onto Xue Ming, finally remembering that this person existed.

“Are you calling me a wild woman just now?” Before Xue Ming could reply, Xiyang suddenly grabbed Fang Jiuyuan’s collar and demanded, her eyes faintly flashing with fire.

Fang Jiuyuan hadn't intended to direct his anger at this woman; after all, he still planned to possess her later. But seeing her dare to grab his clothes and challenge him in front of so many people ignited a fresh wave of anger. Without a second thought, he lashed out, “If you weren’t a wild woman, why are you grabbing my clothes? Of course, if you admire this young master, I don't mind giving you a chance. Kneel immediately and beg this young master for mercy, and perhaps I will forgive your unreasonable behavior!” Fang Jiuyuan was already intending to forcefully seize Xiyang...

“You actually dared to call this granny a wild woman? Damn it…” Hearing Fang Jiuyuan say that, the originally bright and charming Xiyang suddenly cursed loudly and slapped him straight across the face. The immense force sent Fang Jiuyuan flying, and a scorching wave of Fire Essence energy surged into his body. Half of his face instantly swelled up.

Everyone gasped in fresh horror. This woman, this woman actually dared to strike the young master of the Fang family?

The scene fell silent; for a moment, no one knew what to do.

In the sky above a dark cloud, Liang Xiaoke vigorously patted his chest, looking utterly terrified. “Good heavens, I was just saying this little sister-in-law was gentle, lovely, bright, and captivating, but who knew her temper was this fiery? Looks like women with the Fire attribute are all tigresses—best not to touch them!”

“What did you say?” As soon as Liang Xiaoke finished speaking, Han Ba, standing beside him, glared.

“Ah, I meant, Ancestor Han Ba, your bearing is stunning, seductively enchanting, capable of overthrowing kingdoms, more beautiful than Chang'e, surpassing Xi Shi, that is…”

“Scram…” Before Liang Xiaoke could finish his nonsense, Han Ba kicked him straight out, sending him flying, which made Ye Jingyu, standing nearby, break out in a cold sweat.

Women with the Fire attribute do have fiery tempers, it’s good that you know it, why say it out loud? He shook his head, ignoring Liang Xiaoke’s situation, and continued looking below. Even now, he hadn't sensed the auras of Fang Zhentian and the others.

At this moment, the younger generation below finally reacted, especially Fang Jiuyuan, who had been knocked to the ground. He sprang up like a rabbit, pointing at Xiyang and unleashing a torrent of curses, “You wild woman, how dare you hit me! Today I’ll let you know my power! I…” Before Fang Jiuyuan could finish speaking, Xiyang’s figure was already in front of him again. She delivered another slap, landing directly on his other cheek. His face was now completely symmetrical—a genuine pig’s head, one covered in blisters.

Having been sent flying twice by Xiyang’s slaps, Fang Jiuyuan’s mind was blank. He had even forgotten that he was a master of the Ninth Heaven realm; how could ordinary people hit him?

Struggling to get up, he was about to lunge at Xiyang but was restrained by several young members of the Fang family.

Fang Jiuyuan was stunned, but they were not. The first slap could perhaps be excused as catching him off guard, but the second slap crossed directly in front of him. Even with his skill as a Ninth Heaven master, he hadn't reacted at all. Just how high was this woman’s cultivation? Even if she hadn't reached that very realm, she was certainly not someone the current Fang Jiuyuan could contend with.

The Fang family was currently diminished in numbers and weak in strength; a master of the Ninth Heaven realm could not be easily lost now.

The usually scheming descendants of the Fang family were unexpectedly united at this moment. If Fang Zhentian knew, he wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The scene descended into chaos. The young men who had been dazzled by Xiyang now rapidly retreated. A violent woman who could turn the young master of the Fang family into a pig’s head with a single raised hand was not someone they could handle.

In the distance, several powerful figures who sensed the disturbance rushed over rapidly.

The first to arrive was Fang Zhentian. Seeing his son's enormous pig’s head and sensing the blazing aura emanating from Xiyang, Fang Zhentian’s face darkened considerably.

“Nephew Xue Ming, tell me, who exactly is this enchantress?”

“I apologize, Uncle Fang. She is not an enchantress; she is my younger sister, Xiyang!” Facing the powerful aura radiating from Fang Zhentian, Xue Ming’s brow didn't even furrow as he spoke directly.

“Xiyang? A lovely name. Judging by your appearance, you should be salvageable. Here is what I propose: agree to marry my son, and I will spare your life!” Fang Zhentian declared domineeringly.

He could see that Xiyang was definitely no ordinary Ninth Heaven master; she was very likely a Heavenly Immortal level expert. Such a powerful individual was enough to threaten them all. If they couldn't make her their asset, they could only destroy her.

His proposal was merely an excuse to save face before taking action. After all, every Heavenly Immortal expert possessed their own dignity; he didn't believe she would truly agree to marry his son.

“Heh heh, Uncle, why are you being so serious? Actually, although your son is incompetent, he is quite handsome. Marrying him wouldn't be so bad!” To everyone’s surprise, Xiyang chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Fang Jiuyuan, who had been filled with rage moments before, froze. If he could actually marry such a woman, what did two slaps matter?

Even Fang Zhentian was stunned.

“You really are willing to marry my son?” Fang Zhentian was incredulous. How could a Heavenly Immortal level expert surrender so easily?

“Marrying him is certainly possible, but…”

“But what?” Fang Zhentian and Fang Jiuyuan asked almost simultaneously. If they could truly bring Xiyang into the family, it would be a great boon for the Fang family!

“But only if he… is not yet dead…” Xiyang’s expression suddenly shifted, and then a Flame Palm shot towards Fang Jiuyuan.

Fang Zhentian roared in fury, flashing forward to intercept the Flame Palm in front of his son. But another pale, large hand emerged from behind Fang Jiuyuan...
