"Did I kick you into the fire and burn you like this?"
The maid still shook her head.
"I burned down my own yard?"
The maid shook her head like a rattle drum.
She couldn't understand the strange scene she had just witnessed either; the raging fire, which seemed impossible to extinguish, suddenly shot off in one direction and then vanished...
What's even more unbelievable is that, apart from the few boxes of things sent by the Fourth Young Master, the Sixth Miss's courtyard was completely undamaged, showing no signs of having been burned at all.
"I've finished asking," Tian Ning said succinctly.
"But...but...all the things that the Fourth Young Master gave to the Sixth Miss have been burned!" the maid struggled.
"How could you do this!" Wenren Yang jumped up and questioned.
"Didn't you say the gift was for me? So I can do whatever I want with it." Tianning retorted, "I've never seen someone feel bad about giving something away. Really? You heard that the Fourth Young Master is so stingy about such a small thing? Xigou, if you're not willing to spend the money, don't give it away in the first place."
"You, you..."
Madam Wenren couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Ningning, what kind of behavior is this!"
Tianning tilted his head slightly, looking at her with a bright smile: "What nonsense are you talking about, Mother? I'm just a fifteen-year-old girl, still young, and I've been raised by my mother since I was little. Fourth Brother is an eighteen-year-old man, how could he hold a grudge against me?"
Madam Wenren's face immediately stiffened.
This familiar rhetoric—isn't it the same thing she said to Tianning just now?
When the same words were used on herself, Wenren's wife felt uncomfortable.
“Sister, those were specially selected by my fourth brother and me. Even if you don’t like them, you shouldn’t do this, right?” Wenren Xue spoke up at this moment, looking extremely disappointed and sad.
"You like to eat food that's been gnawed on by a dog?" Tianning finally turned her gaze to this person.
Wenren Xue's face turned pale: "Sister, why did you say that to me when we first met?"
Long Ye, who was standing next to her, was also clearly displeased.
"Otherwise, why would you treasure something like that and give it away?" Tian Ning didn't care about these people's inexplicable targeting: "I don't like secondhand goods, understand?"
Now, Madam Wenren realized what was going on: "Yang'er, Xue'er, how could you give your sister things that you've already used?"
Although she said that, there was no hint of blame in her tone.
"So what? Those are all things Xue'er only used once—clothes, jewelry, everything looks brand new! She's from the mortal realm, what right does she have to be so picky?" Wenren Yang said disdainfully.
This was his idea, meant to intimidate Tianning, but he never expected that the country bumpkins would actually resist!
"You really enjoy giving away secondhand goods?"
Tianning released the maid at some point and came to Wenren Yang. With a blank expression, she reached out her hand and said, "Then I've taken a liking to this dress you're wearing. Take it off and give it to me."
Before Wenren Yang could even react, the little girl's fair hands began to roughly tear off her clothes.
Wenren Yang's eyes widened, and he almost fainted from anger!
"Stop! What are you doing?!"
But he couldn't resist the girl's terrifying strength at all. The once handsome young master's outer clothes were almost torn off in an instant. Tian Ning's movements were so skilled, it was no different from killing a chicken and plucking its feathers at home!
As Madam Wenren shouted for her maid to stop them, a tearing sound was heard, and Wenren Yang's inner garment was ripped open, revealing his strong abdominal muscles.
"Ah!!" The maid screamed, blushing, and covered her eyes.
Like a respectable woman who had been sexually assaulted by a rogue, Wenren Yang panicked and hid behind Wenren's wife.
"Mother! She's gone mad! She's sick!"
Long Ye and Long Han certainly wouldn't step forward to help Wenren Yang, a grown man. He wasn't the delicate Wenren Xue. Besides, Wenren Yang was a Golden Core sword cultivator. They never imagined that this man would be publicly humiliated by a wild girl from the mortal realm.
It's really...
waste!
A disgrace to men!
"Ningning...stop making a fuss. Your mother will punish your fourth brother for this, please stop...there are outsiders here! Your mother will compensate you for the clothes and jewelry!"
Even as the matriarch of the Wenren family, Madam Wenren had never seen such a spectacle!
"Alright, I hope Fourth Brother remembers not to do it again next time." Tianning ignored Wenren Yang, that coward, and glanced indifferently at Wenren Xue, whose face was ugly beside her: "Oh, there's another person who should remember as well."
Long Ye's eyes were icy cold. In order to protect the woman he loved, he unleashed his dragon clan's pressure on this reckless girl without any mercy.
He wanted to make that arrogant brat kneel on the ground in front of everyone and regret what she had just said!
But Tianning ignored him, brushed past them, and jogged back to her own courtyard, as if Long Ya had never existed.
Long Ye: ? ? ?
Even though he usually hides his emotions in front of others, at this moment, Long Ye's eyes still revealed obvious doubt and confusion.
Just when he thought he hadn't actually used Dragon Pressure, he met Long Han's gaze...
Two dragons gaze at each other.
What a coincidence, you want to go together?
But what about that brat?
Long Ye asked, "Xue'er, could it be that she has formed a pact with my dragon clan?"
This is the only explanation.
He wanted to see which fool among his own kind would dare to make a contract with someone he despised!
Wenren Xue shook her head: "I don't know. Mother didn't receive any news after we came back."
“How could she possibly form a contract with the dragon clan! If the contract were successful, the Grand Elder would have already announced it to everyone!” Seeing that Tian Ning had disappeared, Wenren Yang dared to speak up: “Only if the contract fails would things turn out like this.”
It was as calm as if nothing had happened.
Long Ye knew this made sense, but...
He dismissed any other outrageous ideas, thinking that perhaps the Wen family was simply giving the girl some rare protective magical artifacts to make up for their loss to their biological daughter.
