Bzzzz—!!!!
BOOM!!!
The entire venue fell abruptly silent.
Everyone stared dumbfounded at Qin Luo, who had suddenly appeared before Xuan Xingzi and delivered a resounding slap to his face.
Their jaws dropped as if time itself had frozen in that moment.
Wait... what the—?!
In the shadows.
The onlookers from the Great Thousand Worlds were equally stunned.
This...
Holy crap!!!
Xuan Xingzi of the Celestial Star Palace just got slapped?!!
As for Xuan Xingzi himself, his head was tilted to the side, his hand clutching his cheek.
His face was swollen, the searing pain leaving him momentarily dazed.
But...
As the sound of the crowd's shocked gasps echoed in his ears,
his expression shifted from initial confusion to shock, then disbelief, and finally twisted into pure rage.
Xuan Xingzi finally snapped back to reality.
What...
I... I was just hit?!
"You... you dare strike me?!" Xuan Xingzi's voice trembled, edged with a shrill, hysterical tone.
His noble status, his supreme dignity—publicly humiliated by a lowly ant from the lower realm!
"Do you even know who I am?! I am Xuan Xingzi of the Celestial Star Palace!"
"You... you wretched insect!!"
"How dare you... how dare you—"
His voice grew increasingly shrill, nearly piercing everyone's eardrums.
Then.
"Enough noise."
SMACK!
"Guh—!"
Qin Luo delivered another backhanded slap, sending Xuan Xingzi's head whipping to the side.
"This slap—is for your foul mouth and arrogance!!"
SMACK!
Another slap followed.
Xuan Xingzi's head jerked the other way.
"This slap—is for your delusions of grandeur and ignorance of your own limits!!"
SMACK!
Yet another slap!
"This slap—is for bullying the weak and abusing your power!!"
SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK!!!
"And these slaps—are for being so damn ugly!!!"
Wait—!!!
The crowd was stunned.
Since when was being ugly a reason to get slapped?!
But unlike the others,
Su Muwan stood frozen in place, swallowing hard.
"I feel this on a spiritual level, folks! I’ve gotten used to it by now!"
"But you all better get used to it too!!"
Qin Luo, still not satisfied, raised his hand again. "This—"
"Hey, wait!"
"Let me have a turn!"
Su Muwan instantly flew over. Seriously?!
All bark and no bite?!
Scared the hell out of me!
She swung her hand—
SMACK!!!!
"Guh—!"
Xuan Xingzi's head snapped to the left.
"This slap—is for your blind eyes!! How dare you not recognize who I am?!"
SMACK!!
Qin Luo followed up with another slap.
"Guh—!"
Xuan Xingzi's head whipped to the right.
"This slap—is for your lack of respect!! You didn’t even kneel when stepping onto my family’s turf!"
SMACK!!
"Guh—!"
Back to the left.
Su Muwan struck again. "Exactly!! This slap—is for your insolence!! Even I’m not this arrogant!!"
SMACK!!
"You blind old fool! If I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll never learn who rules these waters!"
SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK!!
The sound of slaps became a relentless symphony.
From then on,
the crowd could only watch in stunned silence as Xuan Xingzi’s head was batted back and forth between Qin Luo and Su Muwan.
One slap from him, one slap from her.
By the end, Xuan Xingzi was twitching uncontrollably, blood foaming at his lips.
In the back,
Chu Yu shivered in fear.
Wait—
I thought you were here to save me! With that overwhelming aura, I assumed you were strong!
But...
This is it?!
The live chat exploded.
[Holy crap!!! Qin Luo’s treating this old geezer like a punching bag!!!]
[Damn! Couple’s combo beatdown, huh?]
[Unbelievable!! The young couple slapping around a century-old bastard!!]
In the shadows,
Yan Lie and the others from the Great Thousand Worlds were utterly dumbfounded.
Their faces twitched, their bodies trembling.
Seriously?!
Dude?!
Why aren’t you fighting back?!
At least move! Dodge! Do something!!
Why are you just standing there letting them take turns slapping you?!
Xuan Xingzi?!
Have you lost your damn mind?!
They began to wonder—had Xuan Xingzi been corrupted by some evil force?!
How else could he do something so absurd?
But contrary to their thoughts,
Xuan Xingzi, now twitching, barely conscious, blood dripping from his mouth, was on the verge of collapsing into a writhing heap.
Yet—
Move!!
Why can’t I move?!
His eyes bulged, his breathing ragged.
Why?! Why can’t I move?!!
Finally,
Qin Luo and Su Muwan seemed to have had their fill.
"One last slap!"
"For good measure!!"
"Consider it a bonus!!"
They spoke in unison, their hands swinging with finality—
SMACK—!!!
The last slap sent Xuan Xingzi flying like a broken kite, crashing into the ground with a thunderous impact.
BOOM!
The force left a spiderweb of cracks in the floor.
Su Muwan’s participation had perfectly compensated for Qin Luo’s "lack of offensive power" in his slaps.
Xuan Xingzi now lay curled in the crater, his violet-gold robes soaked in blood.
His face was so swollen his eyes were nearly buried, broken teeth mixed with blood dribbling from his lips.
Every breath came out as a wheezing rattle.
"Yay! Home run!" Su Muwan cheered, high-fiving Qin Luo.
The latter grinned. "Feeling better, my lady?"
"Much! No wonder you love slapping people, Qin Luo! Hehe..."
While the two celebrated,
below them,
"You... you dare treat me like this..."
Despite his pig-faced state, Xuan Xingzi—being from the Upper Realm—could still speak.
His voice was hoarse, his gaze filled with venomous hatred.
Cultivating for centuries, he had never suffered such humiliation!
He was Xuan Xingzi of the Celestial Star Palace, a being of supreme dignity!
Yet now?!
Publicly shamed, beaten senseless by two ants he had looked down upon!
This was an unforgivable disgrace!
"I... I’ll kill you! I swear I’ll kill you both!"
His scream was hysterical. Just as he tried to form a hand seal—
SQUISH!!
The pulsating heart at the center of the palace, as if seizing the perfect moment,
suddenly shot out two black tendrils, impaling Xuan Xingzi.
"This is—?! Gluttony!!!"
"Help! He—!!"
Before his horrified eyes, the tendrils yanked him into the heart in an instant.
Qin Luo suddenly turned to face the "camera."
"So that’s it!!"
"This old man was in cahoots with the evil entity!!"
"They’ve merged now!!!"
"Then... are there others like him lurking in the shadows?!"
[Whispers of the Wind—Activate!]

lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
