The round-faced city guard looked at Wuming with a half-smile. "Given your rather poor attitude towards me, you need to be fined ten thousand low-grade spirit stones."
Wuming's face instantly darkened. The round-faced city guard was clearly taking advantage of him and treating him like a fool.
"You fucking think we wouldn't dare touch you?"
The round-faced city guard scoffed. "Try moving it."
Wuming was furious. He was wary of the Qingfeng City Lord's Mansion, not this mere Golden Core Realm city guard in front of him.
Without the slightest hesitation, he struck the round-faced city guard with a palm strike.
With a "bang," the round-faced city guard was thrown backward and crashed into the city wall.
"puff"
The round-faced city guard coughed up a mouthful of blood as soon as he landed, his face turning deathly pale.
"You...you actually dared to touch me! You're dead!"
The round-faced city guard struggled to his feet and shouted at his companion, "What are you still standing there for?"
"Why aren't you using a communication talisman to call for help?"
Wuming suppressed his murderous intent and said to Qin Feng, "Brother, run!"
Qin Feng smiled slightly. "There's no need for that!"
"We are in the right. Even if the people from the City Lord's Mansion come, they won't be unreasonable, will they?"
Wuming was speechless. "You're too naive. This isn't the secular world; who's going to reason with you here?"
"Might makes right!"
"Run! It'll be too late if we don't leave now!"
Seeing that Qin Feng remained unmoved, Wuming was so frustrated he felt like vomiting blood. Was this guy just stubborn?
Just as he was about to forcibly drag Qin Feng away, a clear, cold female voice suddenly rang out.
What happened here?
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng and Wuming instinctively looked towards the city gate, where they saw a stunningly beautiful woman in a white short dress walking towards them.
The two round-faced city guards looked somewhat uneasy when they saw the newcomer.
The visitor was the city lord's daughter, Shen Qingqing.
The round-faced city guard hesitated for a moment, then immediately stepped forward to meet him, intending to be the one to accuse the other.
"Miss Shen, these two guys refused to pay the city entrance fee and even beat me up, leaving me severely injured!"
"Moreover, they also boasted that they didn't take the City Lord's Mansion seriously at all, saying that the City Lord's Mansion was nothing."
Upon hearing this, Wuming became furious.
"Damn it, you're talking nonsense!"
"You fucking charged me ten thousand low-grade spirit stones for the city entrance fee, and you still won't let me through, you want another ten thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
"Miss Shen, you must see the truth!"
"If you don't believe me, you can use the Soul-Capturing Technique to ask that guy!"
The round-faced city guard's expression turned very ugly. "Miss Shen, you absolutely mustn't listen to that guy!"
"Don't believe me? Ask Xiao Wu!"
Shen Qingqing glanced at the round-faced city guard, then looked at another city guard. "Tell me the truth!"
The city guard hesitated for a moment, then decisively chose to betray the round-faced city guard and tell him the truth.
It's not that he's dishonest, but Shen Qingqing isn't so easily fooled.
They'll definitely use Soul-Seizing Technique on the round-faced city guard later. When the truth comes out, he'll be implicated too.
The round-faced city guard looked utterly desperate, and without the slightest hesitation, immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Miss Chen, I was wrong!"
"Please, please let me go this time. I promise it will never happen again!"
The round-faced city guard, Shen Qingqing, spoke with an indifferent expression. "Hand over your storage ring!"
The round-faced city guard didn't dare hesitate for a moment and immediately took off his storage ring and handed it to Shen Qingqing.
Shen Qingqing took the storage ring and tossed it directly to Wuming. "Consider his storage ring your compensation!"
Wuming was taken aback for a moment, then quickly thanked her. "Thank you, Miss Chen!"
Shen Qingqing said nothing, her gaze shifting back to the round-faced city guard. "You have tarnished Qingfeng City's reputation. You may escape death, but you will not escape punishment!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Shen Qingqing slapped the round-faced city guard on the forehead, instantly crippling his cultivation.
"puff"
The round-faced city guard was so enraged that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.
In the Kunlun Forbidden Zone, cultivators who have been reduced to ordinary people are practically no different from the dead.
At this moment, Shen Qingqing looked at Wuming and said calmly, "No matter the reason, you still have to pay a price for injuring the people of the City Lord's Mansion!"
"As long as you cut off your own arm, I will not pursue the matter any further!"
Wuming's face turned extremely ugly. "Miss Shen, I had no choice but to take action!"
"Isn't what you're doing a bit too much?"
Shen Qingqing remained indifferent. "Too much?"
“You have to pay the price for challenging the authority of the City Lord’s Mansion. If we let you leave peacefully, wouldn’t any Tom, Dick, or Harry dare to challenge the City Lord’s Mansion in the future?”
"Will you do it yourself, or should I do it myself?"
Wuming's face was ashen. Shen Qingqing was at the early stage of the Integration Realm, and he didn't even have a chance to escape.
He took a deep breath and prepared to cut off his own arm.
But just then, Qin Feng suddenly spoke up. "Wait!"
Wuming smiled bitterly. "Brother, faced with absolute power, I can only accept my fate."
"Don't speak, or you'll get involved!"
Qin Feng patted Wuming on the shoulder and smiled. "Brother, don't worry, I'll reason with this young lady!"
Wuming's face darkened. Trying to reason with Shen Qingqing? Was he sure he wasn't courting death?
Qin Feng didn't care what Wuming was thinking; he looked at Shen Qingqing with a smile.
"I have to say, you're a really weirdo!"
"It was clearly your people who went too far in bullying us, so how did it become us provoking the City Lord's Mansion?"
"Even if your city lord's mansion is powerful, you still have to be reasonable, right?"
Shen Qingqing looked at Qin Feng with a strange expression. "Are you out of your mind?"
Qin Feng curled his lip and retorted directly, "You're the one who's out of your mind!"
"They say big breasts mean no brains, but yours doesn't look that big, so how come you're so brainless?"
Upon hearing this, Wuming turned deathly pale; this guy was definitely insane.
Shen Qingqing's face instantly darkened as she stared directly at Qin Feng. "Are you looking for death?"
Qin Feng curled his lip. "That's right, I'm just courting death, so grant my wish!"
Suddenly, a terrifying killing intent erupted from Shen Qingqing's body. Just as she was about to make her move, a mocking female voice suddenly rang out.
"Hey, Shen Qingqing, your temper has gotten worse in just a few days!"
"The daughter of the city lord, a powerful figure in the early stage of the Harmony Realm, actually bullies a mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator."
Have you no shame?
Shen Qingqing frowned slightly and looked coldly at a petite, baby-faced beauty who had just come out of the city.
"Su Yun, it's none of your business how I do things!"
"You'd better not meddle in other people's business, or I'll deal with you too."
Su Yun, daughter of the president of the Su Clan Chamber of Commerce, is no less important than Shen Qingqing in terms of status.
Su Yun and Shen Qingqing are mortal enemies. From the day they met, they couldn't stand each other and often bickered and picked fights.
