Chapter 111: Chapter 88: Respecting the Elderly and Loving the Young?

A furrowed his brow, noticing the disciples inside the gym revealed a relieved expression one by one after Sui Yi left.

Honestly, Sui Yi’s stunning move, combined with her recent induction, had put a lot of pressure on them, even more so than on A.

Joy, gratitude, jealousy, embarrassment?

Sui Yi really didn’t like such a complex atmosphere, so her eagerness to leave was unsurprising.

------

Once outside, Sui Yi saw a row of sedans quietly parked along the road ahead.

Leaning against the railing was the exquisite lady who was the Ninth Miss.

With the flowing waters of Nanxun beneath her, Ninth Miss turned around on Langya Bridge, smiling gracefully.

She looked like a beautiful, noble, yet haughty cat.

With a few graceful steps, she positioned herself right in front of Sui Yi, her lips a vibrant red, "I knew you would come out to find me."

Sui Yi didn’t even lift her eyes, her face calm, her tone equally so, "Actually, you are blocking my way home."

"...." Ninth Miss’s amber eyes darkened, she snorted, and scoffed coolly, "Don’t even... I can see right through you in a minute."

Sui Yi silently gave her a look, thinking that it was indeed I who could see right through your body... hmm, through your clothes.

Seeing your body...

"Have you finished looking now?" Sui Yi replied coolly, intending to walk past her.

It was the first time Ninth Miss had been treated so coldly, as if she were a dead fish left out to stink for years or men’s socks or underwear worn for days and shaken out, utterly disdainful...

"Sui Yi!" Ninth Miss finally snapped, reaching out to grab Sui Yi’s arm, but Sui Yi pivoted her foot, gracefully sidestepping in a smooth arc, just to face her and see that the noble Persian cat had transformed into a hissing cat denied food or disturbed during a nap.

With a few swift strikes and elbow hits, the confrontation began quickly, but Sui Yi soon furrowed her brow—Ninth Miss’s inner strength was significantly greater, and having underestimated her earlier, she had taken the opportunity to reverse their initial encounter. Now, with Ninth Miss so close and so desperate, it was quite difficult for her to defend.

Thus...

After more than twenty aggressive moves, with elbows clashing and joints dislocating with a swoosh... Ninth Miss had forced Sui Yi against a wall. Sui Yi slightly frowned, sidestepping to dodge Ninth Miss’s palm.

A fresh palm print appeared on the stark white wall.

Ninth Miss took advantage by twisting Sui Yi’s right arm, but Sui Yi shook her arm and countered with a slap.

Her hand chopped down.

With a smack.

The next second.

...

Feng Sha and the others all shivered in unison.

In their line of sight, they saw their master standing behind Sui Yi, grabbing Sui Yi’s right arm and holding it behind her back, her expression bold, "Thought I was inferior to you? I just wasn’t serious before. If I start getting serious...."

Feng Sha and the others couldn’t help but lower their gaze, thinking to themselves, Miss, you were quite serious before...

It was evident Ninth Miss bore grudges, as now she used the same technique Sui Yi had previously used on her.

Sui Yi listened to the haughty words from the woman behind her, her slender eyebrows raising slightly.

Suddenly, she forcefully kicked out with her right leg, hitting a nerve on Ninth Miss’s leg that immediately caused the triumphant Ninth Miss to feel numbness. Before she could react, Sui Yi had twisted her arm in a countermove!

Reversal!

With a snap, in a blink, Ninth Miss was pinned against the wall by Sui Yi, who held her shoulder with one hand and pressed her hand against the wall with the other.

"What about now? Ninth Young Lady....." Sui Yi looked at the Ninth Miss pinned against the wall, her eyes glinting with a ripple of amusement.

Ninth Miss’s face went through a range of expressions, and after a long moment, she spat out a word.

--Fuck!

Sui Yi slightly furrowed her brow, glancing coldly at her.

"Those who insult others will always be insulted in return."

Ninth Miss choked, thinking, Damn it, can’t I even cuss?

Pretending to be decent!

"Sui Yi, don’t be disrespectful to the lady!" Feng Sha and the others, standing behind, changed their expressions, but dared not make a move.

The lady was still the hostage in their hands.

Just at that moment, a group of young women came walking out from around the corner alley, chatting and laughing brightly.

Only for their voices to abruptly stop.

They all looked stunned at the scene unfolding before them.

Indeed, their eyes were a bit glazed over.

They had certainly not expected to stumble upon such an intriguing scene taking a shortcut.

Simply put, from their perspective, they saw a fiercely fashionable and stunningly beautiful lady being pinned against a wall by a tall, slender, and cool-looking young woman. The beautiful lady was defiant, glaring fiercely at the cool young woman opposite her, who looked beautiful, very calm, and seemingly young, her posture detached and serene as she watched the beautiful lady.

A silent pressure.

One cold, one hot; one refined, one wild, their hair and clothes somewhat disheveled.

Their hands overlapped, pressed against the wall, that posture....

Feng Sha and the others along with the two against the wall saw the astonished faces of these several women, their eyes suddenly lighting up as they began to whisper and murmur excitedly among themselves.

"Wow, it’s that—"

"So explosive!"

"Fighting, are they? Look at this posture... couples who fight and then make up really aren’t just a myth..."

"Irrresistible attack?"

Their gazes were too direct, combined with their language, Sui Yi’s eyes twitched fiercely, and she instinctively glanced between herself and Ninth Miss.

Ninth Miss did the same, looking at her subdued self, then at Sui Yi who was subduing her, her facial expression changing unpredictably as if she were on the verge of exploding. But suddenly, she just laughed.

With her other hand, she abruptly encircled Sui Yi’s slender waist and buried her charming and seductive head into Sui Yi’s neck...

"Since you like being on top, I’ll indulge you this time, but go easy on me~~"

"....."

Feng Sha and the others were collectively petrified.

And those women emitted loud wolf howls.

Ladies, as passersby who just happened to stroll by, shouldn’t you be awkwardly running away now?

Why does it seem like you’re about to sit down and watch a movie?

Sui Yi frowned, silent as she let go and quickly stepped back several paces from Ninth Young Lady, her movements swift as if she were startled.

Ninth Miss felt smug, ha, I finally got my revenge!

This prude Sui Yi is clearly afraid of this!

Yet Sui Yi only rubbed her arms, gave her a look, and turned to Feng Sha with a lingering comment, "I can only temporarily suppress your mistress’s epilepsy... you should take her home instead, it’s too dangerous outside..

It took a moment for Ninth Miss to react, reflexively responding, "Are you insulting me?"

Without waiting for Sui Yi’s reply, she was already certain she had been insulted!

Shit! Ninth Miss cursed again!

You prudish little wench!

Maybe it was Ninth Miss’s murderous vibe, but those girls who were planning to howl and watch a forbidden love drama came to their senses and hurried away, glancing back every three steps.

"So it turns out the wild beauty is the dominant one?"

"I thought something was off right from the start... how come the dominant one seemed to be subdued? The younger-looking girl seemed more submissive~~~"

"Uh... I just want to say... am I the only one who finds this role reversal kind of thrilling?"

There was a moment of silence, followed by a chorus of sneaky giggling...

Afterward, Feng Sha and others looked conflicted, while Sui Yi cast her eyes down, thinking, what are these kids thinking nowadays...

After the group had left, Ninth Miss’s mood suddenly improved.

"I’m the dominant one... you’re the submissive one..

These people indeed have a good eye.

Sui Yi frowned, wondering if that was really the point?

"Yeah, you’re older," Sui Yi pointed out the crux of what she had heard.

Shit! Ninth Miss swore for the third time that day.

Sui Yi felt her judgment needed improving; how had she previously thought that Ninth Miss was mature and rational?

Clearly, she was an unprincipled tsundere Persian cat.

Could it be a side effect of being defeated by her twice?

--------

A quarter of an hour later, Sui Yi and Ninth Miss were in a private booth of a cafe.

Sitting face to face, Feng Sha stood by the window, not uttering a word.

Ninth Miss ordered coffee, put down the menu, and looked at Sui Yi, "I’m here to see you, and you probably guessed what’s it about..."

"Hmm, although I’m surprised you’d come to see me after losing..."

Are you implying I’m shameless?

Ninth Miss paused while stirring her coffee, giving Sui Yi a glance, "Just because you’re younger doesn’t mean I won’t splash this coffee on your face,"

With a glint in her eyes, Sui Yi’s hands clasped in her lap, she said slowly, "Respecting the elderly?"

Ninth Miss reminded herself to focus on the bigger picture and not kill someone prematurely.

So...

"Aren’t you curious about that tomb..." Ninth Miss had prepared her sales pitch to slowly seduce Sui Yi.

"When do we leave? How many are going... are there others involved, and what have you learned from your research on the Corpse Water, send me the data before we go," Sui Yi said, cutting off Ninth Miss’s buildup. She then stood up, opened The Gate, turned to Ninth Miss, and left her with, "Actually, you’re not that old, just about six or seven years older than me..."

Slam—the gate closed, and the coffee cup smashed against it.

Feng Sha by the window suddenly felt quite melancholic.

Can they still cooperate?
