Chapter 68 - 3 Three Slaps

Chapter 68: Chapter 3 Three Slaps

Tang Yu, who was raised in the Martial Saint General Mansion since childhood, had a very overbearing temper. He was also taken aback when the two Blood Claw Wolves burst out.

But once he saw that the target of the wolf cubs’ attack was a dust-covered girl looking like a beggar, far from stopping them, Tang Yu actually clapped his hands in encouragement, "Wolf Teeth, Wolf Hammer, kill her!"

After all, she was just a little beggar; killing her would amount to nothing more than the cost of a straw mat and a few sheets of paper money.

The Blood Claw Wolf, a demon beast native to tropical jungles, is born a third-tier creature. Even the young wolves have astonishingly lethal claws and teeth, leaving ordinary folk with no hope of survival upon attack.

For those who are not Summoners, the only way to get close to a Demon Beast is to raise it from a cub. In doing so, when the Demon Beast grows up, it becomes a Battle Pet.

Battle Pets are quite different from the War Beasts of Summoners; most Battle Pets cannot advance to higher tiers. Nonetheless, many noble families in Yujing like to purchase Demon Beast cubs for the safety of their children and grandchildren.

This has led to a trend of rearing Battle Pets in Yujing, symbolizing both fashion and status.

Tang Yu’s two Blood Claw Wolves were bought by his mother, Yun Cangxue, after he passed the martial master’s assessment recently.

The two wolves were covered in red fur, looking like balls of fire cotton and appeared rather adorable, making Tang Yu care for them dearly on a daily basis.

In Tang Yu’s eyes, the appearance of a trash-like little beggar in Wuning Lane was a stain on the place.

Several guards saw this and hurried to intervene, but the young master threatened, "Don’t go up there, that’s a snack for Wolf Teeth (Hammer). Anyone who tries to save her must leave the Martial Saint General Mansion immediately."

The Martial Saint General, having grown older, no longer managed affairs in the mansion, and ever since the Young General became disabled, he grew decadent and dispirited, leading all affairs of the mansion to unknowingly fall into the hands of the eldest daughter, Yun Cangxue.

Although the guards knew that it was wrong for the Battle Pet to harm people, the thought of being kicked out of the Martial Saint General Mansion and losing their iron rice bowl kept them from stepping forward.

Facing this sudden misfortune, Yun Sheng was considering how to step forward and inquire, when she suddenly felt a sharp twitching of her eyelid. Looking up, she saw the two hungry wolves pouncing straight toward her.

Looking not far away, the richly dressed boy kept cheering loudly.

A chill ran down Yun Sheng’s spine, and she suddenly realized that the child must be the young master of the General Mansion.

So young, yet so malicious; what a tyrannical General Mansion.

The two third-tier wolf cubs’ eyes brimmed with greed as if they could already taste the freshness of human flesh.

But just as they were about to savour the tender meat in their mouths, the small figure in front of them suddenly disappeared.

Yun Sheng slipped underfoot, dodging the two wolf cubs and quickly took the Bone Needle out and struck it across the waist of the young wolves.

The two young wolves howled and fell to the ground. There were no visible wounds on their bodies, but upon closer inspection, one would find a needle hole on their spines.

There’s a common saying that wolves have a head of copper, a tail of iron, and a waist of tofu. Yun Sheng had just struck the two Bone Needles into the wolves’ waists. She had unlocked her second Qi Meridian, and her current power of the Marrow Jade Technique allowed her to issue and retract it freely. The invisible Dark Needles were deadly; she instantly killed the two third-tier young wolves.

But to others, it looked as if she staggered to dodge, and then the two wolves suddenly dropped dead.

Outside the General Mansion, Tang Yu’s clapping gesture froze as if petrified, while the guards were also astounded.

Upon close inspection, the two young wolves had already stopped breathing.

"Damn beggar, you killed our wolves," Tang Yu, furious and embarrassed, no longer cared that they were right at the entrance of the General Mansion, jumped in front of the little beggar, his face filled with fierce light.

"Ridiculous, it was your wolf that attacked me first, and which eye of yours saw me kill them!" Yun Sheng didn’t even deign to give Tang Yu a direct look, as if he were just unimportant mud not worth a second glance.

"It was you! You lowly beggar brat, do you know how much my wolves are worth? One wolf for ten gold coins, your pathetic life isn’t even worth one!" Tang Yu, seeing that Yun Sheng was young but not giving an inch in their confrontation, became even more enraged.

In their eyes, a filthy beggar is worth nothing.

"Pathetic life? You couldn’t afford mine!" After saying that, Yun Sheng took out a Mage badge and pinned it to the front of her clothing.

Seeing the Mage badge, the guards from the General Mansion immediately stopped the young master from making a scene. The young ancestor had really caused trouble this time.

In recent years, Great Zhou City had been in decline of talent.

Especially Mages, who were quite rare in Great Zhou City. In order to attract foreign Mages and those from the outer regions, Emperor Zhou not only founded the Magic Academy but also enacted a law which provides protection for registered Mages and Summoners in the city. Those who assault them are fined fifty gold coins and receive thirty lashes.

If the other party were just a little beggar, it would have been just another beating, and a bit of money would have settled it.

But the other party is a Mage, and only six years old at that. Such a young Mage is a rare sight in Great Zhou City.

If the Magic Temple pursued the matter, the Old General would be furious.

The Mage badge of Yun Sheng was obviously genuine and didn’t seem to be fake.

The mansion guards weighed the severity of the situation, particularly the mention of lashes, and even Tang Yu’s face changed.

He might be young, but as the offspring of a military family, he understood the laws and military regulations very well.

What to do now? Who would have known she was a Mage.

Aren’t those Mages always wearing their badges on their chests, strutting around town like peacocks? Tang Yu mulled bitterly in his heart.

But then he had another thought, what’s there to fear, just settle it with money if push comes to shove. Tang Yu reached for the purse he carried, but just as he was about to take out the money—

Everything went dark before his eyes, smack smack smack smack—

Just like a string of firecrackers going off, Yun Sheng delivered a series of three slaps in quick succession.

Tang Yu’s rather good-looking face was now inflated and red like a balloon, tragically swollen from the slaps.

He was utterly stunned by the sudden assault.

Even his mother had never hit him like that!

Yun Sheng moved incredibly fast. Only after she finished did Tang Yu finally come to his senses, and the guards were also stupefied by the scene.

"You little wretch! How dare you hit me, I’ll kill you," Tang Yu drew the dagger from his waist and lunged at Yun Sheng.

"Wretch? Who are you calling wretch? My name is Yun Sheng, I have a full name. I am Yun Canghai’s daughter. By calling me a wretch, you’re insulting the entire General Mansion, including your ancestors up to eighteen generations," Yun Sheng said proudly, her Moyu-like eyes sparking with an intimidating and dark gleam.

Just then, an elegantly dressed lady, accompanied by two maids in strong attire, walked out and happened to witness Yun Sheng disciplining Tang Yu.

Upon hearing Yun Sheng’s words, the expression of the elegantly dressed lady changed dramatically, and the faces of the maids by her side were filled with astonishment.
