16: Chapter 16 It's all a misunderstanding, do you believe it?

"Leng Yanshuang? I don't like her." Kang Dalei hurriedly shook his head like a rattle-drum.

"That woman is too fierce and not gentle at all. Although she looks okay, she still isn't good enough for me."

"Not good enough for you?" Hearing this, everyone looked at him with disdain.

A peak Wulou Realm expert under twenty, a Colonel of Xining Prefecture in charge of the Xining Prefecture army, and the youngest person with the potential to become a Divine Venerable—she's not good enough for you?

Who exactly isn't good enough for whom here!

"Listen here, kid, are you delusional?"

The old man looked at Kang Dalei, his eyes filled with suspicion.

Although they, the Twelve Generals, were at odds with the Leng family, they still quite admired Leng Yanshuang's strength.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe him, Kang Dalei became immediately annoyed and turned to leave, muttering continuously:

"A bunch of old fogeys, bragging about being the Twelve Generals of the border. If you're really that amazing, why don't you have the guts to take down Xining Prefecture?"

Kang Dalei sneered as he walked, but as he went along, he bumped into something soft. Looking up, he saw a giant of a man, several heads taller than him, looking down at him with a smile.

And all around were groups of heavily armed soldiers, standing in formation on the side, ready for battle.

Seeing this formation, Kang Dalei's first reaction was to turn and run, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw that the path, which had been full of the twelve people, was now empty.

"Damn it, motherf***er, I knew it! This is a gang of scammers."

But before Kang Dalei could escape, he heard Leng Yanshuang's cold voice ring out behind him.

"The rest of you, split into twelve teams to pursue those twelve. Report immediately upon finding any traces."

"Colonel's Guard, seize the bandit leader, Kang Dalei."

"Bandit leader?" Hearing this, Kang Dalei turned his head to look at Leng Yanshuang in disbelief.

The latter just curled her lips coldly and gave a nasty smirk, saying:

"Kang Dalei, you have escaped from prison time and time again, challenging the dignity of the Divine Venerable. Now that your accomplice has confessed all your criminal information, I advise you not to offer futile resistance, otherwise, your only end will be death."

[Dingdong, temporary mission released: Recruit Leng Yanshuang as a member of the Death Fishing Village. Upon success, reward: one Starry Sky Crystal.]

"Ruan Mi?" Kang Dalei frowned.

Sure enough, it was that traitor who betrayed him again.

"Ruan Mi!" "Kang Dalei!" "I'm not finished with you!"

Almost at the same time, Kang Dalei and Ruan Mi, who was in the dungeon, both cursed at each other through gritted teeth.

The grudge between the two deepened even further.

"What do you want?" Kang Dalei pulled back his thoughts and asked calmly.

With the system mission in place, there was no way he could run this time.

Leng Yanshuang said coldly: "Escaping from prison repeatedly, and this time releasing the twelve traitorous generals—by law, you should be executed."

Before the word "executed" had even finished falling, a nine-colored, mottled white baleful energy instantly covered Kang Dalei's body. In just an instant, he rushed in front of Leng Yanshuang, his fists dancing with wind.

The next second, a deafening sound of shattering erupted, and both of them flew backward. Leng Yanshuang said with a face full of terror:

"You were pretending to be weak the whole time?"

Kang Dalei was only slightly surprised for a moment. He didn't answer her question, but instead raised his fist, gathering another ball of nine-colored, mottled white baleful energy, and attacked Leng Yanshuang.

With just one strike, the hands Leng Yanshuang had used to parry with her gathered icy aura felt an intense pain.

At this moment, her eyes showed shock, and she even felt a glimmer of a thought to run away.

Both being body cultivators, it was obvious that Kang Dalei's strength was worlds apart compared to Ruan Mi's from before.

Seeing Kang Dalei's fist wind like a falling meteor, unstoppable, Leng Yanshuang resisted with all her might, but she still didn't use her Foundation Technique state.

Kang Dalei also noticed this, so the fist wind in his hands danced with even more vigorous imperial might.

If Leng Yanshuang wanted to hide her strength, then he would just take the opportunity to teach this tsundere woman a lesson.

"Since you refuse to use your full strength, don't blame this young master for being ruthless."

"Kang Dalei, what do you want to do?"

"I want to make you my bed-warming maid!" Kang Dalei's mouth curled into an arc, and all his power gathered onto his fist.

He had benefited a lot during these days in the dungeon.

Although those dozen or so people were scammers, their martial arts attainments were truly quite good.

"Shuanger, watch your husband's punch." Kang Dalei's body moved like a swimming dragon; in just a few breaths, he had already thrown a hundred punches.

Every punch emitted a terrifying force of baleful energy, striking Leng Yanshuang so hard she almost couldn't hold back her Dao heart and had to use her Foundation Technique state.

"Kang Dalei, you bastard!" One punch smashed into Leng Yanshuang's face, immediately causing a wave of dizziness to wash over her. Then, before she could even react,

Kang Dalei's fist wind had already smashed down against her cheek.

In an instant, her otherwise beautiful face immediately sported a large patch of purple.

"Kang Dalei."

"Your husband is here."

After responding, he followed up with several more punches, giving Leng Yanshuang absolutely no chance to catch her breath.

This went on for a full ten minutes or so, and only after the golden-purple crown tied atop Leng Yanshuang's head was knocked off did she finally retaliate in anger.

"Kang Dalei, this young lady will fight you to the death!"

Leng Yanshuang endured the pain coming from her body and activated her Foundation Technique state.

This was also the first time she had used the Foundation Technique state in front of outsiders.

For Kang Dalei to be able to force out her Foundation power relying solely on his physical strength, he could already be considered a one-in-ten-thousand genius.

Unfortunately, after she activated her Foundation Technique state, she wouldn't let anyone leave alive.

Because her Foundation Technique state made Kang Dalei's nose bleed profusely, and he even started to get aroused.

"Damn, no wonder you don't use your Foundation Technique state. This is just too beautiful."

"Kang Dalei, use your life to appreciate this final magnificent sight."

"Foundation Technique: Ten Thousand Miles of Ice."

A powerful aura began to condense in the surroundings. Leng Yanshuang's appearance at this moment—skin like congealed fat, white as jade, and a pair of clean, pure, beautiful legs stepping on the ice—was exceptionally provocative.

Nothing in the world was more desirable than this moment.

"Seeing your Foundation Technique state, I realize that you seem to be good enough for me now."

Kang Dalei wiped the blood from his nostrils, looked lecherously at Leng Yanshuang, and swallowed his saliva.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, he turned and ran, as decisively as a man who wasn't really a man.

As if he were afraid that if he were a second slower, he would die.

Seeing Kang Dalei turn and run without a word, Leng Yanshuang's beautiful eyes flashed with cold intent. Her small hands just tapped in the air, and ice blocks began to fall continuously above where Kang Dalei was fleeing.

Every time a block of ice hit Kang Dalei, his speed would slow down a bit.

Until, in the end, he was completely frozen in place, unable to move.

Kang Dalei seemed to have discovered this characteristic, and his speed increased slightly.

But no matter how fast he was, that falling ice formation was like a living thing, entangling him tightly so that he had nowhere to hide.

Seeing this scene, Kang Dalei knew it was impossible to escape from this young woman's hands today. So, after thinking for a moment, he decisively turned back and charged.

At the same time, he gripped the demon-slaying blade tightly in his hand.

"Wife, since you insist on having your husband accompany you, then your husband will grant your wish."

...

"Hey, uh, Miss Leng, it's a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding, do you believe me?"

"Believe, of course I believe you." Leng Yanshuang scanned him coldly, her tone full of anger.

During the distance Kang Dalei charged back, Leng Yanshuang didn't even need to make a move; this guy had trapped himself in place due to the slowing effect of the ice formation above his head.
