Ye Chen's face was dark and grim, almost dripping with anger. He felt an unprecedented humiliation. How dare Gu Siqing defy him in public? Because of Qin Xiao? His dignity had been trampled upon. Unforgivable.
"Looks like I need to teach you a lesson, or you'll really never know your place!" Ye Chen was completely enraged, no longer caring about the occasion or his plans. He just wanted to crush Qin Xiao, this ant who dared to provoke him, into dust immediately.
His murderous intent surged, no longer concealed. He abruptly raised his right hand, gathering his inner strength, and struck Qin Xiao's face with a powerful palm strike. The blow was heavy and forceful, carrying a strong wind, causing the air to explode. It landed squarely, shattering Qin Xiao's tendons and bones, killing him instantly.
It's coming. Qin Xiao's pupils contracted, and his adrenaline surged. His instinct was to dodge, but a Grandmaster's speed was unmatched by ordinary people. He saw the lines on Ye Chen's palm drawing ever closer. The shadow of death enveloped him. Ye Chen's killing intent was about to strike.
The ground seemed a bit slippery.
Suddenly! Qin Xiao's foot slipped, he lost his balance and staggered backward uncontrollably.
"Thump!" He fell to the ground in an awkward position.
Ye Chen was determined to land a blow, gathering all his fury. Due to Qin Xiao's unexpected action, the blow barely grazed his nose and landed in mid-air.
"Bang!"
[Lucky Braking System successfully triggered! Forced avoidance of a fatal attack! Now in 24-hour cooldown!]
[Negative effect takes effect: Qin Xiao knocks over a waiter's cart. Inside the cart is a three-tiered birthday cake prepared by the Gu family patriarch.]
As Qin Xiao fell, his body slumped to the side, bumping into a waiter pushing a cake cart.
The waiter exclaimed in surprise.
"Whoosh!" The meticulously crafted three-tiered luxury cake tilted and tumbled before everyone's eyes. Cream, fruit, and chocolate sauce arced down, releasing their aroma.
With a loud smack, it landed perfectly on Ye Chen's face. He had used too much force and was chasing after the attack, unable to stop in time.
Cream smeared his hair, strawberries clung to his eyebrows, and chocolate sauce streamed down his cheeks. The once majestic young master of the Dragon King's Palace had instantly transformed into a cream clown.
The banquet hall fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the dramatic scene unfolding before them. Who could have imagined that Ye Chen, who had been so domineering and imposing just moments before, would be like this the next second? The contrast was too great.
"Pfft!" Someone couldn't help but let out a suppressed laugh. The laughter quickly spread, creating a sea of joy.
"Hahaha……"
"This...this is hilarious!"
Even the usually calm and stern Gu Siqing had a slight smile playing on her lips. She looked at Ye Chen with a mixture of disgust and a hint of amusement.
[Ding! The host's actions caused the Chosen One Ye Chen to lose face in a crucial moment, suffering a huge blow and significantly disrupting the plot. 100 points of luck value have been stolen!]
[Yun Yiyi: Wow! Host! Host! You're amazing! That's incredible! This is textbook villainous maneuvering! Even though the process looked a bit messy, the effect was absolutely outstanding! Yun Yiyi is giving you a huge shout-out!]
Ye Chen stood frozen in place, feeling the cream on his face and the mocking laughter around him. An unprecedented humiliation and rage surged to the top of his head. He felt like his lungs were about to explode. His icy gaze instantly turned bloodshot, veins popping out. A murderous aura solidified, as if it wanted to tear everything apart.
"Qin! Xiao!"
