Wen Caishang beckoned and said, "Mr. Li La, you’re being naughty again. We just got out, and you’ve already forgotten ? Aren’t you going to help ?" She gently extended her right hand, quietly observing Li Xian.
Li Xian thought, "Oh no, madam deceived terribly. Once the bell sound reaches the cave opening, it dissipates instantly." Walking to the lady’s side, he supported her hand and calmly smiled, "Madam, fortunately, once we’re out of the cave, the bell sound has no effect. Otherwise, with so many soldiers in Flying Dragon City, it would’ve been hard to handle."
Wen Caishang laughed, "Oh? Is it really fortunate?" Her expression suddenly turned cold as she glared angrily, reversing her grip on Li Xian’s wrist and gently twisting.
Li Xian felt a numbness throughout his body, instantly sensing his entire muscles and veins twisting, acupoints blocked, inner chaos. He couldn’t muster any Qi power techniques, yet was entirely uninjured. Wen Caishang said flatly, "It seems that the divine power, once outside, is just like this."
Li Xian’s complexion turned pale, and he said, "Madam is joking, what divine power do I have?" Wen Caishang replied, "If you don’t count, then no one does. Mr. Li La, you were so mighty, overturning the Five Mountains Sword Alliance with a spear and a sword." She raised her hand to gently wipe the sweat off Li Xian’s forehead.
Wen Caishang’s gentle deanor dissipated, her expression turning cold as she said icily, "Hmph, but how did you escape the Eight Extres Seal? I’ve never asked you about this. I never thought you had such unexpected abilities."
"If I hadn’t deceived you by saying the bell sound also affected outside the cave, you would’ve run long ago. Hmph, rest assured, for all your deceit, I didn’t seriously use the Twisting Vein Hand, just made it so you couldn’t exert any strength."
Li Xian smiled helplessly, "Madam, didn’t I help you out of a jam? Can’t you be a bit more gentle to this ti?" He secretly lanted, "I really suspected the lady was playing tricks, but... but the exit requires her guidance, making it a difficult matter to resolve. Madam is several tis more troubleso than both He Wentian and the Five Mountains Sword Alliance combined."
Wen Caishang said calmly, "Each matter in its ti, everything in the cave is past. Did you think I could be fooled by you ti and again? Things don’t happen thrice. Hehe, don’t bla for being harsh this ti." Her fingers pronged out, touching several of Li Xian’s acupoints all over his body.
Her Inner Qi was vigorous and refined, containing various Martial Arts transformations. Sticking to the acupoints, controlling the Qi movent pathways, it stopped the use of Qi power. This ti, she was serious; there was no room for Li Xian to play tricks, and within monts, she executed more than ten moves, all aid at locking Qi and strength.
As Wen Caishang’s power returned, she inevitably beca arrogant and difficult. Li Xian, gritting his teeth, said, "Madam, my heart is sincere, and I risked danger to save you. How is that trickery?"
Wen Caishang glared and said, "Shouldn’t a husband save his wife? If you were in trouble, wouldn’t I save you? Dare you ask for repaynt for such gratitude?" Li Xian replied, "I dare not, I dare not, it’s just..."
"Just what." Wen Caishang said, "If not, why specifically ntion this?"
Li Xian saw Wen Caishang’s fierce deanor, crafting words to say so sweet-talk to appease her. Wen Caishang repeated, "Refrain from sweet-talk, I won’t tolerate your deceit this ti. You’ve taken advantage of underground more than once, so I should turn the tables." She flung Li Xian’s hand away.
Li Xian said, "But madam also clearly enjoyed it. This again..." Wen Caishang frowned, "Still daring to retort, can’t you discern the situation? We’re not underground now."
Her jade face turned cold, eyes imposing, intending to reestablish authority and sternly train her husband, she said lightly, "Bring your head over."
Seeing Li Xian unmoved, she said, "Your courage has grown, hasn’t it? Hmph, can you still compete with now?" Raising her hand, she pinched Li Xian’s ear, twisting it firmly.
Wen Caishang barked, "Dare to retort, with just a bit of ability, you dare to be so presumptuous. Hmph, co back to the room with first, see how I deal with you."
Wen Caishang glared at Li Xian, let out a light "hmph" from her lovely nose, and said, "Follow ." She twisted his ear and walked. Wen Caishang had a tall figure, yet Li Xian was a head taller than her. With his ear twisted, he could only slightly tilt his head and bend over slightly.
Li Xian felt his face lose light, thinking, "This woman is really asking for trouble. Although I don’t care much about reputation, being pinched by the ear like this is... is..." He attempted to resist. Wen Caishang cast him a sidelong glance, saying, "Move again if you dare, and I won’t let it slide easily. Just co quietly along, hmph."
Li Xian complained inwardly, "This woman is not only fierce but also quite shrewish. This ti, I should learn a lesson; facing soone like madam, I can’t be careless for even a mont. But with the Setting Sun Bloodsword as my trump card, I fear no lack of opportunity to turn things around."
The snowy scenery along the way was beautiful, and soon they reached the gates of Flying Dragon City. At this ti, the city gates were wide open, the traffic of carriages and horses was smooth, and the blockade had been lifted. Wen Caishang had twisted his ear until it was red, then released it. Li Xian quickly said, "Thank you, madam. From here on, I’ll follow your lead faithfully. I promise to be good."
Wen Caishang said flatly, "Who said I was done twisting your ear?" She massaged her wrist and said, "This ti, I’ll twist your right ear, bring it over yourself." Li Xian said, "Madam, there are so many people around. I’m determined to serve you faithfully this ti, so please don’t make it difficult for here."
Wen Caishang replied, "What a joke, isn’t being pulled by the ear embarrassing?" Without a word, she raised her hand and twisted Li Xian’s left ear, quickly walking him into the city.
Li Xian sighed helplessly, only able to follow alongside. Along the way, he noticed the strange gazes of the people, yet he smiled awkwardly, without explanation. As they passed a place called "Drunken Flower Pavilion," a guest inside was caught in adultery, also being dragged back by the "ear" like this.
The two exchanged a glance, and that guest muttered, "This fellow is quite out of line; his wife is as beautiful as a celestial being, yet he still goes to pick wildflowers." Hearing this, his wife twisted his ear into a pretzel, dragging him ho.
The two of them crossed streets and alleys, attracting many onlookers.
