Upon hearing this, Niu Dachun's face once again showed a look of astonishment as he stared at Li Xiuyuan. He hadn't expected that Li Xiuyuan could actually see through the spatial storage he carried with him.

This time, Niu Dachun finally acknowledged Li Xiuyuan's strength; he was indeed stronger than him.

"I... admit defeat..."

Niu Dachun said with extreme reluctance, his voice barely audible, like a mosquito's buzz.

"This isn't the attitude you're going to use to admit defeat!"

"And that's not what I meant either."

"If you want to say that I admit defeat, please let me go. I promise I won't be arrogant in front of you again."

"Quickly, Da Chun, say it like this."

Li Xiuyuan smiled and looked at Niu Dachun.

For Niu Dachun to say that was like stabbing him in the back of his pride. At that moment, Niu Dachun was seething with rage, wanting to unleash a torrent of abuse on Li Xiuyuan.

"Hurry up, or I'm afraid I'll lose my patience," Li Xiuyuan said with a smile, increasing the pressure.

"Okay, okay, I'll talk, I'll talk..."

"Senior brother... I admit defeat..."

"Please... let me go..."

Niu Dachun's face turned bright red, and he felt so hot that he wished he could disappear into the ground.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Since you're so sincere, Brother Lao, I'll reluctantly let you go today."

After saying that, Li Xiuyuan released Niu Dachun.

The moment Li Xiuyuan released Niu Dachun, Niu Dachun channeled his spiritual energy, ready to take action and avenge his previous humiliation.

However, with a casual grab, Qin Yao was pulled into his arms.

"I must say, this little girl is quite cute."

"And it's a real treasure! Da Chun, where did you find it? I want to find one too."

"ah?"

"Who are you?"

How did I suddenly end up here?

Qin Yao asked two questions in a row, looking completely bewildered.

"Hehehe, Yao Yao, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person." Li Xiuyuan looked at Qin Yao in his arms and a lewd smile appeared on his face.

"ah!"

"No, you bad guy!"

Snap—

Qin Yao stretched out a hand and slapped Li Xiuyuan across the face, a crisp and loud slap sound immediately rang out.

Upon seeing this, Niu Dachun's face immediately showed a shocked expression.

Despite all her efforts, she hadn't managed to hurt Li Xiuyuan in the slightest, yet Qin Yao slapped him across the face.

Li Xiuyuan's face immediately turned red.

"You have a really strong grip, little guy."

"for you."

After saying that, Li Xiuyuan tossed Qin Yao to Niu Dachun, who caught her.

"Uncle, Yao Yao was so scared just now." Qin Yao saw Niu Dachun and immediately threw herself into his arms.

Niu Dachun stood still and silently gave Yao Yao a thumbs up.

"Yaoyao, you just did what I've always wanted to do."

"You're amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yao looked at Niu Dachun with a bewildered expression, not knowing what he was talking about.

Cuckoo—

Suddenly, a thunderclap came from inside Li Xiuyuan's stomach.

"Alright! We've been playing for so long, I'm hungry too."

"Dachun, come on, I'll take you out for a big meal."
