770: Yun Mengyao, the fiercely protective husband

Facing this palm strike from Yang Lingchen, which was filled with a majestic Aura, Qiao Yanxi slightly furrowed her willow-leaf brows. Her intuition told her that the energy of his strike likely already exceeded what she could withstand.

But at this point, she had no way to retreat.

With no other choice, Qiao Yanxi had no option but to meet it head-on.

"Boom...!"

As the two forces collided, a terrifying wave of energy swept out in all directions.

Qiao Yanxi's body was sent flying backward. In the instant the two forces clashed, Yang Lingchen's terrifying palm energy shattered her defense with unstoppable force and struck her directly on the chest.

Just as Qiao Yanxi was about to hit the ground, Ji Tiantian's figure moved like a bolt of lightning, catching Qiao Yanxi in her arms.

"Ahhh...! That hurts so much! You despicable, shameless bastard, I'm not done with you!"

Qiao Yanxi cried out in anger. Her stunning, peerless face was flushed with a hint of indignation; at this moment, she felt as if her chest was about to explode.

This guy was simply too much. He had attacked her chest again and again—how could she possibly endure this?

"Qiao Yanxi, if you are not convinced, feel free to try again."

Ice-cold Killing Intent shone in Yang Lingchen's eyes. He had held back just now; otherwise, that palm strike would have left Qiao Yanxi either dead or crippled.

"You...!" Qiao Yanxi glared coldly at Yang Lingchen, but in the end, she did not strike again.

After the exchange just now, she knew she was no match for Yang Lingchen. If she continued, she would only be the one to suffer.

Moreover, she could sense that Yang Lingchen had held back just now.

"Yanxi, please calm down! It was just a misunderstanding, and Yang Lingchen did hold back."

Ji Tiantian gently patted Qiao Yanxi's shoulder to comfort her.

"I don't care! He dared to touch my chest, I must castrate him!" Qiao Yanxi said angrily.

"Qiao Yanxi, can you be a bit more reasonable?" Yun Mengyao stepped out and said coldly.

Yang Lingchen was her future man. Qiao Yanxi repeatedly talking about castrating her man was something she could not tolerate.

"Yun Mengyao, what is your relationship with this bastard?"

Seeing Yun Mengyao's expression change, Qiao Yanxi was not to be outdone and glared coldly at her.

"Qiao Yanxi, Yang Lingchen is my future man. If he truly offended you in any way, I can apologize to you on his behalf, or you can beat him up, but I absolutely will not allow you to castrate my man," Yun Mengyao said firmly.

"Yun Mengyao, don't be fooled by this bastard! What part of such a despicable, shameless, and lecherous man is worth you liking him?" Qiao Yanxi said, her eyes wide with disbelief.

"Qiao Yanxi, shut your mouth! Where am I despicable, shameless, or lecherous?"

At this moment, Yang Lingchen was truly angry. Although he wasn't a saint, he wasn't despicable, shameless, or lecherous either!

"During the xuan ranking competition, did I not hold back?" Qiao Yanxi said angrily, "And look at you, you suddenly took a Dharma Seal and smacked it onto my chest. Tell me, isn't that despicable?"

"How can you blame me for that?"

Yang Lingchen looked sullen as he said, "You were the one who started the competition. You knew full well I couldn't beat you, yet you insisted on challenging me. If I hadn't used a weapon to fight back, wouldn't I have been beaten into a pig's head by you?"

"Besides, I had already held back at the time; otherwise, your little steamed buns would have been exploded by my Dharma Seal long ago."

"Bastard, who are you calling little steamed buns?" Qiao Yanxi cried out.

"Big steamed buns, is that better?"

Yang Lingchen said irritably, "Despicable? You can't justify that, can you! Now, tell me, where am I lecherous?"

"When the Sky-Swallowing Fire Bird wanted to violate you, not only did you not resist, but you even had a reaction. Tell me, isn't that lecherous?" Qiao Yanxi cried out.

"You are simply being unreasonable. My cultivation level was so low back then, how could you expect me to resist?"

Yang Lingchen looked speechless, then looked at Qiao Yanxi with disdain and said, "Besides, the Sky-Swallowing Fire Bird is ten thousand times prettier than you; it's perfectly normal for my body to have a reaction!"

"You...!"

Qiao Yanxi trembled with rage and said, "I saved your life, yet you used a Dharma Seal to ambush me. Doesn't that count as being ungrateful?"

"And what about when you were behind Sister Tiantian's and my back, bragging to others that you could handle both of us just by beckoning your finger? Tell me, isn't that shameless?"

"Then, if I let you beat me up now, can we call it even?" Yang Lingchen frowned and said.

He really couldn't be bothered to reason with Qiao Yanxi anymore. If taking a beating could solve the problem, he would rather take the beating, especially since she had indeed saved him before.

"Fine, as long as you let me kick you there, we can consider this matter settled. From now on, you go your way, and I'll go mine." Qiao Yanxi glanced at Yang Lingchen's crotch.

"Qiao Yanxi, don't go too far," Yun Mengyao said coldly.

"Yanxi, Yang Lingchen, actually, there is just a misunderstanding between the two of you; there is no deep hatred. Why don't you both take a step back?" Ji Tiantian said.

"Miss Ji, if you have any suggestions, please feel free to say them. As long as the request isn't too excessive, I can agree to it," Yang Lingchen said.

He had a very good impression of Ji Tiantian. Although she was a bit hard to read, at least she had never targeted him.

"Yanxi, how about this: Yang Lingchen apologizes to you, and you don't beat him up. Everyone is young; having one more friend is better than having one more enemy. What do you think?" Ji Tiantian said with a smile.

"Miss Ji is truly reasonable and a heroine among women; this is a wonderful idea," Yang Lingchen said with an admiring tone.

Immediately, he looked at Qiao Yanxi and said solemnly, "Miss Qiao, regarding the misunderstanding between us earlier, I solemnly apologize to you. I am sorry. I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against me."

"Bastard! I haven't accepted your apology yet!" Qiao Yanxi said angrily.

"But I've already apologized!" Yang Lingchen shrugged.

"But I didn't agree!" Qiao Yanxi said coldly.

"Fine, then give me back the apology I just gave you," Yang Lingchen said with a smile.

"How am I supposed to give back an apology?" Qiao Yanxi cried out.

"Then you can apologize to me; that would count as returning the apology. Then we can discuss the next issue. Miss Qiao, what do you think?" Yang Lingchen said earnestly.

"Want me to apologize? No way!" A flash of indignation crossed Qiao Yanxi's face; clearly, she was furious to the extreme.

She had seen shameless people before, but never anyone this shameless. To actually ask her to return an apology—was he even a man?
