Chapter 1096: Chapter 1088: Paying the Price
Xiao Yifei’s leg brushed past the man’s face, ultimately not landing on him. The man dodged the blow and let out a sneer, finding Xiao Yifei’s struggle amusing. However, before the man’s smile even faded, Xiao Yifei’s left foot, under the cover of the right foot, fiercely kicked towards the man’s abdon.
The man realized that Xiao Yifei’s earlier strike was just a feint. Finally, to evade this attack, the man released his grip on Xiao Yifei. Upon being released, Xiao Yifei imdiately put distance between herself and the man, becoming more vigilant.
Witnessing Xiao Yifei breaking free from the man’s grip, Ren Tianye was sowhat surprised. He thought Xiao Yifei would give up, but unexpectedly, she shed the man’s restraint. Seeing this, Ren Tianye glanced at the man beside him, who still wore a confident smile on his face, putting Ren Tianye at ease. After all, even the man wasn’t worried.
“The little girl is quite capable,” the man finally spoke, his voice as rough as his appearance. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei sneered and said, “Ren Tianye’s lackeys are nothing good either.”
The man’s mouth twitched at Xiao Yifei’s words, obviously choked by her remark. With a darkened face, the man said word by word to Xiao Yifei, “Little girl, there’s a price to pay for talking nonsense.”
“Where am I?” A wave of dizziness washed over, eyes blankly taking in the surroundings—ceiling, wardrobe, and a woman. As Xiao Yifei’s consciousness gradually returned to his body, he realized there was a woman sleeping beside his bed, none other than Hua Xiangrong.
Casually shaking his head, Xiao Yifei recalled the events before losing consciousness. He shielded Hua Xiangrong from a strike, then fainted. Thinking back, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but glance at Hua Xiangrong, who lay with her eyes tightly shut, her gentle breathing not at all annoying.
Looking at Hua Xiangrong like this, Xiao Yifei found her rather cute. Usually, Hua Xiangrong always maintained a dignified deanor, rarely showing such a defenseless side. Yet at this mont, the ordinarily proud Hua Xiangrong had let down all her guards, sleeping without a care.
Xiao Yifei’s gaze suddenly softened. The sunlight streaming through the window cascaded over Hua Xiangrong, making Xiao Yifei feel she was like an angel descended to earth. It was as if white down feathers floated in the air, making everything seem so beautiful.
Out of nowhere, Xiao Yifei instinctively reached out, brushing against Hua Xiangrong’s hair. The scene, already appearing obedient, now felt even warr. To be honest, when Xiao Yifei touched Hua Xiangrong, only then did he co to his senses, unsure of why he reached out. He just felt that the mont was so beautiful, he wanted to touch that beauty.
The boy’s hand gently stroked the girl’s silky hair, sunlight filtering through his fingers to leave dappled shadows on the girl’s head. “Ah.” Suddenly, Hua Xiangrong let out a small hum, startling Xiao Yifei to retract his hand quickly, his eyes cautiously watching her.
However, Hua Xiangrong rely shifted a little, turned her head, and continued to sleep. Seeing this, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but be stunned for a mont. Then, hearing her gentle breathing, he smiled wryly. So she only rolled her head, he thought. He then couldn’t resist reaching out to stroke Hua Xiangrong’s head again.
But had Hua Xiangrong really fallen asleep after turning her head? The answer was no. A smug smile adorned Hua Xiangrong’s turned face, and her lively eyes didn’t know where to look in excitent, making her appear rather flustered. However, Xiao Yifei didn’t know any of this now.
Everything was so comfortable and wonderful, but Xiao Yifei’s side wasn’t like this. At this mont, Xiao Yifei was facing Ren Tianye and his subordinates alone. Although she narrowly escaped the man’s grip earlier, the situation was still grim. Due to her mocking words earlier, the man’s face now appeared a bit angry.
“There’s a price to pay for talking nonsense,” the man said, cracking his knuckles with a cold face. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but grow tense, becoming extrely vigilant. Seeing Xiao Yifei tense up because of his words, the man’s sneer beca even more rampant, seeming to mock her wholly.
Seeing this, Xiao Yifei gritted her teeth, unable to stand the man’s smug expression. Yet, he still didn’t make a move, leaving Xiao Yifei increasingly anxious. Ren Tianye, observing their standoff, prudently stepped far away, trying not to get involved in their battle.
Who would be the first to lose patience and strike? Naturally, it was Xiao Yifei, not only because of the Cultivation Technique but also due to her own nature. With a slight movent of her steps, she dashed towards the man with lightning speed, ready to throw a punch. If the man didn’t dodge, Xiao Yifei’s fist would land squarely on the man’s abdon.
Xiao Yifei’s punch was not to be underestimated. If hit, the man might no longer have the strength to fight back, and if the man couldn’t take a hit, he might even pass out. But the man wasn’t foolish, clearly aware that he couldn’t take this punch head-on without dodging.
Thinking this, the man’s steps gently moved, and this seemingly aimless movent made him incredibly agile. Xiao Yifei’s fist brushed past the man’s chest without touching him, aning her punch had missed.
Since Xiao Yifei’s punch missed, she had to face the man’s counterattack next. The man’s right hand, forming a claw, viciously aid for Xiao Yifei’s neck, intending to take her down in one move. But Xiao Yifei had anticipated this, and just as her fist missed, she moved swiftly. Crouching down, withdrawing her fist to brace herself.
After completing this, Xiao Yifei’s right leg swept out along the ground, targeting the man’s heel. This unexpected move made the man’s hand miss its target, and when he realized, he saw the Tornado Kick at his feet, causing him to frown. The man’s steps suddenly beca a bit blurred.
However, amidst the man’s chaotic steps, Xiao Yifei’s leg once again brushed past the man’s heel. Her seamless moves only swept the ground like cleaning, not causing any damage to the man. Dodging this kick, the man turned around, accompanied by a hook, fiercely swinging towards Xiao Yifei.
Seeing this, Xiao Yifei was shocked, hurriedly retreating. This strike was not sothing Xiao Yifei dared to take lightly, so she chose to retreat, retracting her leg, retreating. The entire action was seamless, also allowing the man’s attack to miss again. Xiao Yifei’s retreat also ant the end of the first round of their fight.
However, Xiao Yifei’s reaction surprised the man. He thought his strike would land solidly on Xiao Yifei, but it was avoided again. The sa occurred to Xiao Yifei, who was equally surprised the man dodged her Sweeping Leg.
