CHAPTER 337: CHAPTER 337: AN UNEXPECTED JOY

Puff~

Violent power poured into his organs, Lei Mingze felt like his spine was being broken, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood on the spot, and fainted.

Letting go of Lei Mingze, who was like a dead dog, Zhu Haomiao looked at the stunningly beautiful woman with tears in her eyes, trembling like Se Se, and examined her with interest.

A pair of watery eyes timidly looked at the young man, her exquisite features appeared as innocent as a teenage girl yet as alluring as a woman in her twenties. For a moment, Zhu Haomiao found it difficult to ascertain her age.

Seeing the woman’s mixture of purity and seduction, her look of wanting to reject yet welcoming, the young man couldn’t help but show a meaningful smile, slowly walked in front of her, and gently lifted her chin with his finger.

Like a frightened animal, the woman shuddered, shrinking her neck.

But the young man forced her face upward, making her look at him, and the helpless pupils were filled with glistening tears.

Examining her captivatingly beautiful face closely, Zhu Haomiao pinched her chin and raised the corner of his mouth with interest.

"Tsk tsk, I didn’t expect this delightful surprise."

Upon hearing this, the woman gathered her courage and said in a soft, tearful voice.

"Sir, please don’t do this, I perform arts, not sell myself..."

"Don’t worry, I’ve already talked to your mother, if I don’t pay after sleeping with you, it doesn’t count as selling."

"Huh?"

The woman was stunned for a few seconds, her timid eyes filled with a touch of shame and anger, boldly threatening.

"Sir, if you keep this up, I’ll call the constables to arrest you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Haomiao gave an evil smile, took out his County Magistrate badge, and slapped it in front of her.

"I’m the head of the constables, whatever you have, just tell me!"

Seeing the identity badge of the young man, the woman felt like the sky had fallen, and in her daze, Zhu Haomiao forcibly pulled her into his arms and began his mischief.

"Sir, please don’t do this, or I’ll really call out!"

"Go ahead, call as loud as you want, but no one will come to save you! Wahahaha~"

Amidst the exaggerated wicked laughter, seeing the young man’s actions becoming more brazen, a glint of impatience flashed in the woman’s eyes, her delicate shoulders gently shrugged, and her body burst out with energy, instantly sending the young man flying.

Boom!

Like a weightless feather, Zhu Haomiao floated back three steps gracefully, landed on the ground, and stared at the woman with a half-smile.

"Tsk tsk, I was wondering how long you could endure it~"

The woman, who was just delicate and powerless, slowly straightened her body, gradually revealing a majestic presence, staring at the young man with eyes full of shame and anger.

"When did you find out?"

"I noticed as soon as I entered the door. Clearly, a weak and helpless woman, seeing two Martial Artists fighting in front of her, yet still sitting calmly as if watching a play..."

"Pretending to be pitiful and helpless on the surface, but inwardly laughing to death. With your lousy acting, you still want to be an actor?!"

Hearing the young man’s ridicule, the woman, though not fully understanding some of the words, knew he was mocking her, becoming even more angry and ashamed!

"You brat, how dare you!"

Clenching her silver teeth, the woman turned into a stream of light and shot towards Zhu Haomiao, her delicate white palm striking his chest.

Feeling her unbelievably thick True Qi, Zhu Haomiao’s eyes moved slightly, he didn’t dodge, and raised his palm with twelve-fold strength to meet it.

[Penetration Energy·Thunderbolt]!

[Sealing Demon Power·Soul Devouring]!

[Stacked Waves Strength·Fierce Wave]!

[Void Refining God and Returning to Truth Technique]!

[Constant Star Melting Furnace Body Tempering Technique]!

Bam!

The two palms collided solidly, the restrained destructive power didn’t leak at all, completely pouring into the opponent’s palm.

After a deafening muffled sound, Zhu Haomiao remained unmoved, but the woman flew backward, stumbled a few steps after landing, and finally stabilized her posture.

With eyes full of surprise, the woman looked at the young man, clearly noticing that his True Qi and strength were inferior to hers, but his power carried a strange trait.

Her organs tingled and stung, as if an electric current surged through, the alien True Qi that invaded her meridians acted like a living creature, disrupting her flow, provoking an energy backlash, taking her several breaths to refine and recover.

Coupled with the opponent’s monstrously strong physique, despite having multiple advantages, she was at a disadvantage in the confrontation.

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao was also not feeling well, her True Qi was ethereal and strange, sweeping through his body with an intent to tear him apart from the inside.

Without the combined suppression of the Great Achievement Realm’s [Constant Star Melting Furnace Body Tempering Technique] and [Void Refining God and Returning to Truth Technique], relying solely on the Master Level Basic Force, he would have suffered greatly from that strike!

After receiving one strike, her strength was beyond his expectations, leading to a strange silence for a few seconds.

Both parties cautiously assessed their opponent, and finally, the woman couldn’t help but ask first.

"Who exactly are you? I’ve never heard of such a young genius in the Imperial City?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Haomiao did not answer but instead asked back faintly.

"Who are you then? Judging by your age, a Third Grade Expert in your early twenties, whose sect’s direct disciple are you?"

Catching a subtle reaction in the woman’s pupils, Zhu Haomiao instantly knew the answer, and sneered coldly.

"No legitimate sect would let their direct disciple become a brothel’s courtesan. Only a demoness from the Demon Sect needs to train her heart amidst worldly dust, break through illusions, eradicate emotions, and sever desires... so..."

"You are a demoness from the Demon Sect!"

It was not a question but a statement. Just a brief contact had revealed her background, making the woman exasperated, glaring at the young man in shame and anger.

"It’s the Holy Sect! Not the Demon Sect!"

"Heh heh, makes no difference to me, I just want to know... can I catch a bigger fish by capturing you..."

Licking his lips, Zhu Haomiao looked at the woman like he was seeing a hen that lays golden eggs, hot and greedy.

Perceiving herself as meat on the chopping block in his eyes, the woman’s heart burned with anger, and she snorted coldly.

"Ignorant brat, do you really think capturing a Sixth-rank Fool makes you invincible in the world?"

"You yellow-haired kid... you think you can catch me?"

Swish~

The woman flicked her hand to shoot steel needles like a pear blossom storm. The penetrating Qi specialized in breaking Horizontal Training Techniques condensed at the needle tips into a sharp cold light, splashing over Zhu Haomiao’s major acupoints.

In an instant, at point-blank range, the explosive attack exceeded Zhu Haomiao’s [God] and [Dexterity] response speed, leaving him just enough time to instinctively raise his arm to protect his face, turning him into a porcupine-like state immediately.

By the time the young man lowered his arm, the woman in front of him had vanished without a trace, leaving only a lingering whisper in the air.

"Rude child, today’s humiliation, I will repay a hundredfold!"

Rushing to the window, Zhu Haomiao looked into the distance, realized the other party was quickly leaving his sensing range, his eyes flickered, but in the end, he restrained himself.
