162: Chapter 162 The only way is to repay him with my body…

"No... that's not it, Xu Hongxia, please listen to my explanation."

Manager Niu Defa was so frightened that cold sweat soaked through the clothes on his back. He hurriedly bowed and said in a trembling voice:

"This is all a misunderstanding; this brat is just spouting nonsense. I... how would I dare to be disrespectful to you..."

"A misunderstanding?" Xu Hongxia sneered, her gaze sweeping across the counter in front.

"Bang!" The sturdy profound jade counter instantly turned into dust under the Golden Core Stage true essence.

"The transaction contract of my Personal Disciple is written clearly in black and white and is protected by the Sect laws. A mere Tongbao Bank dares to welsh on a debt?!"

Xu Hongxia stepped forward, her beautiful eyes staring fixedly at the terrified Proprietress Hao Shuang, and she shouted coldly:

"Eight million Low-Grade Spirit Stones. If even one is missing, I will raze this Tongbao Bank to the ground. I will extract your souls and refine your bones..."

Locked on by Xu Hongxia's murderous gaze, Proprietress Hao Shuang's legs went soft, and she fell to her knees with a "thud." Where was the charm and arrogance on her pretty face from before?

"Elder, please calm your anger! Please calm your anger!"

Proprietress Hao Shuang cried like a pear blossom in the rain, desperately kowtowing and begging for mercy:

"It was us who failed to recognize your greatness; it was us who were blinded by greed. But... eight million Low-Grade Spirit Stones is an enormous amount. Even if our bank pawned everything we own, we couldn't gather that much in such a short time..."

"You can't gather it?" Qin Feng chimed in from behind at the perfect moment, his tone filled with schadenfreude:

"That's not what you said when the bets were placed yesterday, Proprietress. You were the one who set the odds at one to two thousand, and you were the one who signed the transaction contract voluntarily. What's the matter? When you win Spirit Stones, they belong to you, but when you lose, you want to just walk away and not pay up?!"

"Bullshit, you set us up!" Under the control of fear, Manager Fu An's brain short-circuited, and he couldn't help but retort loudly.

However, as soon as the words left his mouth, "Slap!" A fiery red afterimage flashed through the air. Xu Hongxia hadn't even moved, but an invisible palm of true essence slapped Manager Fu An directly across the face.

"Boom!" The bones on one side of Manager Fu An's face were instantly shattered. He flew backward like a cannonball, smashing through two thick walls behind him before collapsing into the ruins. He twitched twice and then fell silent.

"Noisy!" Xu Hongxia's Phoenix eyes narrowed, and her pressure increased, causing the bones of Manager Niu Defa and Proprietress Hao Shuang, who were kneeling on the ground, to creak with "crackling" sounds.

"I don't want to hear your nonsense." Xu Hongxia looked down at the enchanting woman slumped on the ground and coldly spat out a few words:

"I will give Tongbao Bank seven days."

"Within seven days, gather the eight million Low-Grade Spirit Stones and deliver them to my Disciple's courtyard on Qingmu Peak. If even one is missing, I will personally take action and cripple your cultivation. Do you understand?!"

Hearing the "seven-day" deadline, Proprietress Hao Shuang felt as if she had been granted amnesty; how could she dare to argue even a little?

She kowtowed desperately, her voice as thin as a thread: "I understand... I understand... Thank you, Elder, for sparing our lives. Proprietress Hao Shuang guarantees to deliver the Spirit Stones in full within seven days..."

After warning Tongbao Bank, Xu Hongxia slowly turned around and cast her cold, dangerous gaze toward Manager Niu Defa, who was trembling like a sieve on the side.

"Manager Niu, I just heard from my Disciple that not only did you want to cripple his cultivation, but you also wanted to make him crawl out of the trading zone on his knees?"

"Ex... Elder Xu, that was just a moment of confusion, a slip of the tongue... Yes, just a slip of the tongue..."

Manager Niu Defa felt like dying at this moment. He was just an Outer Sect manager who got by on bribes; in front of a Golden Core Elder from a peak who could crush him with a fist the size of an ox, he was nothing more than an insignificant bug.

He immediately started slapping himself continuously and begged: "I will slap my own mouth, I deserve to die! Please, Elder Xu, spare my life; please, Qin Feng, spare my life..."

Watching Manager Niu Defa's fat face become swollen and bruised from his own slaps, a cold glint of disgust flashed through Xu Hongxia's beautiful eyes.

She turned her head, looked at Qin Feng beside her, and said in a tone that took it for granted: "Feng'er, for the sake of Sect rules, Revered Master cannot be too excessive. Go, give him a few slaps to help him learn his lesson."

"You got it." Qin Feng was delighted to hear this. He rubbed his wrists and walked forward with a wicked grin.

At this moment, under the absolute suppression of Xu Hongxia's Golden Core Stage true essence, Manager Niu Defa was as if paralyzed. He couldn't even move a muscle and could only watch helplessly as the young man with a demonic smile approached him.

"Manager Niu, weren't you quite arrogant?" Qin Feng walked up to him, looked down at him, and sneered: "Weren't you strategizing and acting so smug and arrogant before?!"

"Why aren't you laughing now? Are you naturally not fond of laughing?!" As the words fell...

The dark golden Qi and blood of Qin Feng's Heavenly Tyrant Body circulated crazily within his right palm in an instant.

"Slap!!!" A heaven-shaking sound of a slap, resounding throughout the entire hall, suddenly exploded.

Qin Feng's palm landed solidly on Manager Niu Defa's fat face. The violent power of his Physical Body poured out without reservation.

"Pfft!" Manager Niu Defa spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with a dozen shattered molars. He spun a dozen times in mid-air, and his left cheek swelled up instantly, looking like a purple-red steamed bun.

Before he could land, Qin Feng's other hand followed like a shadow, delivering another loud slap with the back of his hand! "Slap!!!"

It was another heavy slap weighing a thousand jun. This slap landed directly on Manager Niu Defa's right cheek, once again emitting a crisp sound of fracturing bones.

"Ah!" The dignified Manager Niu screamed, sliding over ten zhang across the ground like a spinning top before crashing fiercely into the remaining ruins of the counter.

His two eyes were swollen shut to mere slits, his mouth full of blood; his appearance was as miserable as could be.

"Phew... that feels good." Qin Feng clapped his hands, turned to Xu Hongxia, grinned, and said: "My hand hurts a little, but fortunately I have Revered Master to make decisions for her Disciple."

Watching Qin Feng's shameless look of getting a bargain and still acting innocent, Xu Hongxia rolled her eyes, but the doting and gratification deep in her eyes could not be hidden.

"Alright, the matter is settled, and the anger is vented. Let's go." Xu Hongxia waved her red sleeve, exuding an unattainable noble aura, and turned to walk out of the bank first.

"You got it." Qin Feng followed closely behind, and under the awed, worshipful, and fanatical gazes of the Outer Sect Disciples on the entire street, the Revered Master and Disciple swaggered away, leaving behind a ruined Tongbao Bank filled with wailing. ... Not long after. On Qingmu Peak, in Xu Hongxia's independent courtyard. The environment here was quiet, with curling Spiritual Qi, far away from the noise and bloodshed of the trading zone.

Returning to the familiar and luxurious inner chamber, the cold and domineering Golden Core Stage aura that Xu Hongxia had previously displayed vanished without a trace in an instant.

She lazily stretched and yawned, revealing the stunning curves of her delicate body to the fullest, then swayed her water-snake waist and prepared to lean back on the soft couch.

However, having exerted her Golden Core Stage pressure repeatedly today to vent anger for Qin Feng, coupled with the long journey, she did indeed show faint signs of fatigue between her brows. Her delicate body swayed slightly...

"Revered Master, be careful." Qin Feng, who had been prepared, his eyes lit up, and he lunged forward, his thick, warm hands naturally and tightly supporting Xu Hongxia's slender and supple willow waist.

"Hmm? You brat, what are you doing..." Being suddenly held at a vital point by a man, Xu Hongxia's delicate body stiffened abruptly, and a faint virgin fragrance mixed with the scent of a ripe peach instantly permeated the air.

A faint, imperceptible blush appeared on her pretty face. Qin Feng did not let go; instead, he leaned in closer and whispered word by word: "Revered Master, your great kindness cannot be repaid by this Disciple; the only way is to offer myself..."
