277: Apologize

The man emitted no aura from his body, yet the Killing Intent in his eyes surged continuously.

He was Long Ying, a super Genius of the Taicang Divine Palace. In terms of both talent and strength, he was second only to Yin Ping among the younger generation.

Long Ying had harbored a secret crush on Yin Ping for years and had long considered her his personal property. If he hadn't wanted to leave a good impression on his goddess, this newcomer would already be a corpse.

He was currently very angry, but it wasn't appropriate to strike directly, so he could only put on a slight performance in front of Yin Ping first.

However, the matter would not end here; he would make this kid disappear from the world without anyone noticing.

"True Killing Intent?"

Xiao Xing's brow furrowed slightly, but it soon smoothed out as he looked away.

This man was only in the God King Realm; his attributes weren't even as high as Yin Ping's, and he hadn't mastered the power of Laws. He posed absolutely no threat.

"Weren't you supposed to be very tough? Why do you only know how to cry!"

Xiao Xing rubbed Yin Ling's little head, ignoring the crowd.

Yin Ping was so beautiful that it was normal for the crowd to defend her, but as long as the other party didn't make a move, this Killing Intent didn't matter.

"Waaah~ You're not allowed to touch my head."

Yin Ling lifted her head and slapped Xiao Xing directly, her expression appearing extremely aggrieved.

Her Face was already covered in tears, and her small Face was flushed red.

She had never been bullied before. After being spanked several times, her heart was filled only with endless resentment and confusion about what to do.

"You are very weak right now, do you understand?"

Xiao Xing ignored her cries and pointed around, saying coldly:

"Look around you. It's because of everyone's protection that you can eat and drink well every day.

Look at these clothes you're wearing; they were obtained because everyone braved danger to complete missions.

If everyone hadn't fought to the death to hold back the Demons, you would have died long ago, do you know that?

And look at what you do every day? You spend all your time thinking about how to bully everyone."

At this point, Xiao Xing raised his hand and gave her another slap.

"Do you think you're still human?"

Asked at the end, whether she was dazed from the spanking or something else, Yin Ling slightly stopped crying and stared intently at Xiao Xing.

Although she was mischievous, she wasn't a fool. After her big cry, her heart had calmed down quite a bit.

Xiao Xing's words seemed imprinted on her heart, constantly echoing in her depths, causing her to begin reflecting.

Yin Ling was not old; in the Divine Realm, she was merely a child who had recently been born, so correcting her wouldn't be difficult.

If she were allowed to be taken away by Yin Ping, given Yin Ping's personality, she definitely wouldn't have the heart to see Yin Ling so aggrieved, let alone be willing to hit her.

Yet Yin Ling's actions were already beyond the pale; she had even tried to strip someone's clothes in public. If she were allowed to continue her antics, she would truly become a poisonous woman in the future.

"Well? Have you figured it out yet?"

Seeing her start to twitch again, Xiao Xing continued to rub her head.

"Hmph, this is my business, what does it have to do with you?"

Hearing Xiao Xing's words, Yin Ling reached out and wiped away her tears.

The toughness was gone from her voice, but she still turned up her nose to show her defiance.

Prompted by Xiao Xing, she thought about it for a moment, and his series of questions actually left her speechless.

After understanding some truths, she felt very guilty in her heart and felt she had wronged everyone.

She was just still indignant towards Xiao Xing. After all, she was the granddaughter of a God King, yet she was being lectured by a newly joined Disciple, which made her very unhappy.

"You are currently in my arms; do you think I have the right to care?"

"You were the one who picked me up, let me go!"

Yin Ling seemed to just realize she was in Xiao Xing's arms and began to struggle.

If it weren't for her lack of strength, why would she stay in someone else's arms?

"Still making a scene?"

Xiao Xing gave her another backhanded smack.

"You, you still dare to hit me?"

Finding her bottom smacked again, Yin Ling gnashed her teeth once more, showing a fierce expression.

Although she had somewhat recognized her mistakes, she hated Xiao Xing even more at this moment.

"If you want me to let you go, apologize to this sister."

Xiao Xing turned her head toward her.

Ji Ziyue rarely spoke; she had remained silent while being bullied until now, but that didn't mean she didn't mind.

No girl would feel good after being publicly humiliated, but she simply didn't want to make a big scene.

"Junior Brother Jian Chen, let it go. Little Ling'er is just a bit mischievous."

Ji Ziyue smiled slightly and reached out to take Yin Ling into her arms.

She had indeed been a bit sad before, but seeing Yin Ling lectured, her kind-hearted nature led her not to dwell on it.

"Waaah~ Sister Yue, that guy bullied me."

Seemingly finding an outlet, Yin Ling shrunk directly into Ji Ziyue's embrace, not only wailing loudly but also starting to complain.

She had called out to Sister Yin Ping several times just now, but her sister hadn't acted, and no one else had come to help her, so she felt very helpless.

"Apologize to Sister Yue, or I'll spank you again."

Xiao Xing raised his hand in a slight warning.

Since he had decided to correct Yin Ling, he couldn't stop halfway. If even he didn't have the heart to hit her, the little girl would truly be beyond saving.

"Kid, come over and apologize to Fairy Yin Ping."

Just as Xiao Xing raised his palm, a cold Killing Intent locked onto him.

Although Long Ying's Face was calm, his heart was completely enraged.

He found this kid to be arrogant to the extreme; not only did he talk about disciplining his goddess, but he also completely ignored his words.

In the entire Taicang Divine Palace, no Disciple dared to deny him Face. Now, he was being made to look like a clown, with his dignity completely gone.

With Yin Ping here, it was inconvenient for him to strike, but he had already changed his mind; he would make this kid suffer unimaginable torture before letting him die.

"Still not apologizing to the sister?"

Seeing the little girl lift her head to watch the show, Xiao Xing raised his hand to strike.

But seeing Xiao Xing's movement, Yin Ling immediately shrunk back.

She was truly afraid of Xiao Xing now because he really dared to hit her, and she was no match for him. Calling for backup seemed useless too.

"Junior Brother Jian Chen, Little Ling is still a child, don't...!!"

"Sister Yue, I'm sorry. I won't bully you again."

Seeing Xiao Xing constantly lecturing Yin Ling, Yin Ping couldn't stand by anymore.

But before she could finish, Yin Ling lifted her head and showed a look of shame toward Ji Ziyue.

After apologizing, her small hands tightly hugged Ji Ziyue's neck, and she shrunk her head back again.

She now felt that Sister Yue was very good; not only was she not angry with her, but she had also rescued her from the demon's clutches.

Thinking about how she had bullied Sister Yue before, she felt a bit embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's okay. Little Ling is a good girl."

Seeing Yin Ling's pitiful appearance, Ji Ziyue picked her up and gave her a big kiss.

Kind-hearted as she was, she had long forgiven Yin Ling's earlier fussing. Seeing the little girl's heart for repentance made her very happy.

Seeing this, Yin Ping couldn't help but bite her lower lip again, her large, beautiful eyes wide, her expression extremely cute.

She knew Yin Ling's temper all too well; almost no one could talk sense into her. She hadn't expected her to actually be subdued by Junior Brother Jian Chen.

She now felt some admiration for Xiao Xing, but even more so, she was curious.
