With sharp, pointed claws touching Agares' face, Simubei slashed down without hesitation.

Instantly, five bloody gashes appeared on Agares' left cheek. Without Yan Liu, he clenched his right fist and slammed it towards Simu Bei's claws.

Si Mubei chuckled, his enormous claws instantly transforming into hands, and he leaped away to create distance between himself and Agares.

Agares missed his target and stood rooted to the spot, his gaze sharp, his demeanor calm and composed, radiating a powerful aura that was impossible to ignore.

Seeing the crimson blood dripping down Agares' jawline and onto the ground, Jiang Si raised her chin and asked Bo Jichen triumphantly, "Daddy, how was it? Was my magic trick good?"

Bo Jichen silently gave his cheap, leaky, and heartbreaking little cotton-padded jacket a thumbs up: "Beautiful!"

Jiang Si smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Thank you for the compliment!"

Their conversation was deliberately amplified, not too loud, not too soft, so that it could be heard by those below.

Si Mubei brought his furry, blood-stained paw close to his lips and gave it a light kiss in the air. Then, with a flirtatious turn, he sent the kiss flying to Jiang Si: "Little Jiang, Mommy loves you!"

Jiang Si made a heart shape with her hands above her head: "I love you too! Keep it up, I believe in you!"

Si Mubei glanced at the student who stood upright like a pine tree and had five scratches on his face, and said to Jiang Si, "Little Jiang, do you still have the dog-beating stick from earlier?"

Jiang Si pulled her hand away from her head, which was making a heart shape with her fingers: "Yes, here you go, Mu Bei Mama!"

Yan Liu snapped her fingers, and a green stick, about 1.2 meters long and as thick as an arm, wrapped in blue light, was flung towards Si Mubei.

Si Mubei reached out to grab it, but Agares was faster than him. He moved like the wind and struck like lightning, grabbing the tobacco stick a step ahead of Si Mubei.

Si Mubei's hand missed its target, and she smiled charmingly: "Your Highness, snatching things is not a good habit!"

As the willow branch reached Agares's hand, a white light flowed down his hand and enveloped the branch, intertwining with the blue light already present on it.

Agares lowered his hand holding the tobacco stick, the tip of which rested on the ground: "I thought you were already used to this, but it turns out you weren't!"

Si Mubei: "..."

I have a strong feeling that this little brat is implying he's a thief.

And there must be evidence.

Seeing this, Bo Jichen raised an eyebrow, leaned closer to his cheap, heartbreakingly leaky little cotton-padded jacket, and said in a softer voice, "Baby, he can cover your spiritual power, does that mean his spiritual power is a little stronger than yours?"

Jiang Si grinned, her smile innocent yet infuriating, and said, "Guess?"

Bo Jichen: "..."

Can he guess it?

This cheap, heartbreakingly leaky little cotton-padded jacket has never shown its true strength, okay?

He had been very careful when absorbing her spiritual power, fearing it would affect her body. But when he turned around, she acted as if nothing had happened, going about her business as usual. It was as if spiritual power, which was of paramount importance to others, was like an inexhaustible ocean to her.

"Stop talking nonsense and keep going!" Yu Feifei urged Si Mubei, "Si Mubei, stop dawdling. Didn't you want to prove to your daughter that you're the best?"

Si Mubei realized what was happening and looked at his daughter.

Jiang Si sat on top of the aircraft and gave him a bright smile. With a snap of her fingers, the willow branch that had disappeared earlier instantly reappeared on the ground to Si Mubei's left, emitting a blue light.

Si Mubei pulled the stick out and ripped it across his skirt, leaving a tear in the ankle. Then, he bent over and ripped the skirt off a little below his thigh.

The legs were neither too thin nor too thick, but they were very straight, and you could see the muscle definition.

Si Mubei swung her legs and said seductively to Agares, "The skirt is too long and in the way, you don't mind, do you?"

Agares's expression remained unchanged, as if what was waving in front of him wasn't two legs, but two wooden sticks: "No problem, please do as you please!"

"Let's continue!" Simubei said, launching another major attack on Agares.

Agares took a step back with his right foot, trampling the green grass on the ground, but did not attack Simubei who was attacking him.

Si Mubei was ruthless and steady, swinging his willow stick straight at Agares' neck. Just as it was about to reach his neck, Agares moved, his willow stick suddenly shifting at lightning speed, colliding with Si Mubei's willow stick.

Blue and white sparks flew everywhere, and with a crack, the willow stick in Si Mubei's hand was split in two.

The willow branch in Agares's hand, like his imposing aura, carried a menacing force as it struck back at Si Mubei's neck.

Si Mubei dodged like a cunning rabbit, never expecting that the willow branch that Agares was aiming at his neck was just a decoy.

It was his foot that truly struck him. He raised his foot and kicked Si Mubei in the chest, sending Si Mubei flying like a kite with a broken string.

"Beautiful!" Bo Jichen cheered. The onlooker, never one to miss a good show, said, "Agares, he scratched your face, so you scratch his face too! There are no family on the battlefield; you have to learn to fight fire with fire!"

Agares lowered his hand holding the willow branch and looked at Bo Jichen, but his focus was on his little wife. Seeing her gaze on Si Mubei, he replied with extreme seriousness, his face covered with five bloody cuts, "Yes, teacher!"

In an instant, the others said, "Esteemed seniors, please!"

The bandits exchanged glances, each weighing the willow sticks in their hands. It seemed that in a one-on-one fight, none of them could defeat the young prince of the Troya Empire; the only option was a group brawl.

Bo Jichen hooked his hand around his adopted daughter's arm and said, "Look, look, isn't it because my little princess has stronger mental power that she broke your stick in two and kicked your dad away?"

Jiang Si asked lightly, "Do you know how I used to make a living?"

Bo Jichen chuckled and teased, "Scamming, cheating, and stealing?"

Jiang Si exclaimed in surprise, "Congratulations, you got it wrong! I used to make a living by performing magic tricks. Come on, let me do it for you again!"

She snapped her fingers for the third time, and the willow branch that had been cut off in Si Mubei's hand was not only intact, but also carried a strong gravitational pull, directly bringing Si Mubei back to his original position.

Si Mubei landed on his feet, slightly surprised. His adopted daughter's stick was quite something.

The bandits surrounded Agares, gripping their tobacco sticks tightly, and said to him, "Come on, Your Highness!"

Agares twirled the stick in his hand, his stern and cold face, half-stained with blood, appearing particularly solemn and awe-inspiring. "Forgive me, everyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned the tables and took the initiative, launching a preemptive attack with overwhelming momentum and domineering and fierce movements, carrying a powerful sense of mental pressure as he attacked Si Mubei!

Si Mubei mobilized his mental energy to resist the powerful pressure that was attacking him.

After trying to mobilize his mental energy, he discovered that he couldn't release it at all; it was completely suppressed by Agares's mental energy.

Si Mubei's expression changed drastically. He could only rely on the willow stick in his hand, but the willow stick he took out to block was once again chopped in two.

Immediately afterward, his beautiful and charming face was slashed by the willow branch in Agares' hand, leaving a bloody gash. Then, Agares swiftly swung the willow branch, which became like a soft rope around Simubei's neck.

Bang!

Simubei's hand transformed back into claws, attempting to grab at Agares.

Agares grabbed his claws with a backhand swift motion, twisted them backward, and turned his body, pulling Simubei's claws and twisting his arm behind his back.

"Pfft!"

A giant, furry yellow tail emerged from behind Simubei, lashing out at Agares like a whip.

Seeing this, Jiang Si sat up abruptly, staring wide-eyed at the huge, fluffy yellow tail. She cupped her hands in front of her mouth and cheered, "Mu Bei Mama, use your big tail to whip him away!"
