Chapter 33 The Villainous Female Supporting Character in Immortal Cultivation (15)
Upon arriving at the village where they were undertaking the quest, they noticed a thin layer of black smoke swirling around its perimeter. The group exchanged glances; it seemed the village chief who had come seeking help hadn't lied—a demon did indeed exist there.
"Everyone, be on guard. I'll go and test the strength of this monster first!" After saying this, Mo Yuan stepped forward alone and entered the village.
Seeing this, Yan Sheng was not to be outdone and followed closely behind.
Xia Mingwei and Bai Yaoyao stayed where they were and waited for them. When Bai Yaoyao saw that there were only two of them, she revealed her true colors.
"You're such a burden, I really don't know why you insisted on coming along?" Bai Yaoyao said, looking down at Xia Mingwei.
Xia Mingwei clicked her tongue in amazement and touched her chin. "Is it because no one was around, and she couldn't keep up the act anymore, so she simply stopped pretending?"
She walked around Bai Yaoyao twice. "And one more thing, let me remind you: next time, if you're not tall enough, don't try to stand on a high place to look at people! Otherwise, you'll only embarrass yourself!"
This statement may seem ordinary, but it is extremely damaging.
Bai Yaoyao's face immediately turned ashen, and Xia Mingwei decided to strike while the iron was hot, "To be honest, I really admire you. The way you can change your expression so quickly is a skill that many people would kill for!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yaoyao was so angry she almost vomited blood. She clutched her chest, and Xia Mingwei, seeing this, quickly moved several feet away from her.
As she moved, Xia Mingwei said, "Don't cough up blood, or those two will definitely say I made you this angry, and I can't take that responsibility!"
Bai Yaoyao's heart finally couldn't bear it any longer, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand and said sarcastically, "Just because I say something doesn't mean everyone else has to believe it! Our business isn't over yet, let's wait and see! Let's see who has the last laugh!"
Before Xia Mingwei could reply, Bai Yaoyao slowly collapsed to the ground.
Xia Mingwei pointed at her, then suddenly remembered something, turned around, and saw Mo Yuan and Yan Sheng returning.
Xia Mingwei's mouth was practically twisted with anger. I was wondering why she suddenly became so weak; it turned out she was waiting for this!
Seeing Bai Yaoyao collapse, Yan Sheng was the first to rush over. He held Bai Yaoyao's head and tenderly pulled her into his arms. Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, he roared at Xia Mingwei, "We were only gone for a short while, and Yaoyao is like this! You'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"
Xia Mingwei shrugged her hands. "Who knows? Maybe she just got really into it while acting? I'm not her, how would I know what she's thinking?"
Seeing that Xia Mingwei was still "unrepentant," Yan Sheng became furious and swung a palm strike at her.
Yan Sheng used 80% of his strength; the palm strike was powerful, and if it hit, the person would definitely be seriously injured.
However, given Xia Mingwei's exposed fighting prowess, she couldn't possibly evade it.
Unless, of course, someone intervened for her. But unfortunately, that didn't happen.
Mo Yuan stood aside, showing no intention of intervening. He coldly watched everything unfold, perhaps thinking that giving Xia Mingwei a small lesson was exactly what he wanted.
He had wanted to pressure Xia Mingwei and Bai Yaoyao into apologizing before, but he had never had the opportunity. This whole situation was a godsend.
Therefore, in order to conceal her true strength, Xia Mingwei took the full force of the blow. Fortunately, when Master Nanhua descended the mountain, he gave Xia Mingwei many treasures, which protected her heart meridian and prevented her from suffering internal injuries.
But she was still injured. She was knocked to the ground by the blow, and felt a metallic taste in her throat before vomiting.
After all the farce was over, Bai Yaoyao slowly woke up.
She held her head and asked softly, "What's wrong with me?"
Yan Sheng helped her up. "Yaoyao, you just fainted! You scared us half to death! Don't you remember what happened?"
Bai Yaoyao slowly shook her head. "It's nothing. I just suddenly felt unwell and fainted!"
Yan Sheng, standing to the side, glanced at Xia Mingwei and asked, "Yaoyao, tell the truth, is it really related to her?"
Bai Yaoyao looked at Xia Mingwei with a hesitant expression, which only made her seem more like she was trying to cover something up.
“It’s not Xia…” Bai Yaoyao suddenly remembered Xia Mingwei’s words and felt as if her throat was being squeezed, unable to say anything.
Yan Sheng continued to press Bai Yaoyao for answers, but she remained silent.
Finally, Yan Sheng realized he couldn't get any answers from her, so he vented his anger on Xia Mingwei, "Remember this, it's fortunate that Yaoyao didn't have any serious problems this time, otherwise I wouldn't have let you off the hook!"
Xia Mingwei propped herself up against a rock before replying, "I told you long ago that she was faking it, but you wouldn't believe me. What could I do? Can I wake up someone who's pretending to be asleep?"
This statement was undeniably a double entendre, which only fueled Bai Yaoyao's anger. She grabbed Yan Sheng's sleeve and said softly, "Asheng, I'm fine! It really has nothing to do with Weiwei! I was careless and that's how I got hurt!"
This seemingly explanatory remark was, in fact, adding fuel to the fire for Yan Sheng at that moment.
Seeing that he was about to attack again, Xia Mingwei threatened, "My father is the True Man of Nanhua. If you don't kill me today, I will make you pay the price one day!"
Yan Sheng clenched his fist, thought for a long time, and finally withdrew it.
Xia Mingwei's status was noble, and Yan Sheng's rash attack today had already put him at a disadvantage. If Master Nanhua were to hold a grudge in the future, it would be difficult to resolve the matter of who had seriously injured his beloved daughter. Thinking of this, Yan Sheng decided to stop and find another opportunity to teach Xia Mingwei a lesson later.
Seeing all this, Xia Mingwei knew that her words had worked. She glanced at Yan Sheng, "Coward! No wonder Bai Yaoyao doesn't like you!"
This statement was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Yan Sheng, but at this moment he couldn't deny everything Xia Mingwei said, so he let her have her way.
At this moment, Xia Mingwei was also busy, communicating with Xiao Ba in her mind.
"Host, are you alright?" Xiao Ba, who had just witnessed everything, asked anxiously from the side.
"I'm fine. My forbearance today is all for the future! Just you wait! I'll make that Yan Sheng pay sooner or later!" Xia Mingwei replied fiercely.
Xiao Ba finally felt relieved when he heard that Xia Mingwei seemed to know what was going on.
