254: This is the awareness of the empress!

Yan Qingwu wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled, crossed her legs, and the curves of her long legs, wrapped in leather pants, were fully revealed.

"I can't leave."

"After all, Old Master Xuanyuan personally told me to come here and report to you."

Ye Chen was dumbfounded, his mind struggling to catch up. "Huh? You're the most outstanding member of Hidden Dragon Pavilion that Old Master Xuanyuan mentioned?"

"That's right~"

Yan Qingwu blinked, a trace of slyness flashing in her eyes. "Surprised? Shocked?"

Not long ago, on her way here, Xuanyuan Huo had called her, telling her that Ye Chen was their new instructor.

So...

She suddenly had a legitimate reason to come.

Ye Chen felt utterly terrible.

This outcome was too shocking, too unexpected, just without the 'pleasant' part.

He even wanted to call Xuanyuan Huo immediately and ask if that old man was deliberately messing with him.

This is too ridiculous!

The eldest young lady of the Yan Family in the capital, a proud and arrogant daughter of heaven who was left speechless by him at the entrance of Tianque Pavilion just two days ago, was now a soldier under his command?

Ye Chen took a deep breath, suppressing the surging urge to complain in his heart, and turned to look at Bing Lan.

Then.

Survival instinct kicked into overdrive.

"Um... Bing Lan, here's the thing."

"An old master from above forced a position on me called 'Chief Instructor of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion'. It's basically managing a group of so-called geniuses."

"This woman..."

Ye Chen pointed at Yan Qingwu, who was smiling brightly on the sofa. "...is one of those geniuses. We had a bit of a conflict in Yanjing a couple of days ago. Probably holding a grudge, she came here specifically to pick a fight."

Before Bing Lan could speak, Yan Qingwu spoke up first, displeased.

She rolled her eyes and gave a light snort.

"Who's here to pick a fight?"

"I'm here on Old Master Xuanyuan's orders to report, and by the way..."

She paused, her eyes sweeping over Ye Chen. "...to see if you, the new Chief Instructor of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, are actually qualified."

Ye Chen was directly angered into a laugh by Yan Qingwu's self-righteous attitude.

"What does my qualification have to do with you?"

He pointed towards the door without any courtesy. "Get out of my house. Now."

Hearing this, Yan Qingwu didn't move. Instead, she picked up the glass of warm water on the coffee table and took a slow, deliberate sip.

"Then where am I supposed to stay?"

"Stay wherever the hell you want!"

Ye Chen waved his hand as if shooing away a fly, a vein throbbing at his temple.

"Five-star hotels, luxury apartments... surely the eldest young lady of the Yan Family doesn't lack a place to stay?"

"Just don't bother me."

Yan Qingwu nodded, not arguing. Right in front of everyone in the living room, she took out her phone from the pocket of her tight leather pants, dialed a number, and put it on speakerphone.

"Hello, it's me."

"Check for me if there are any apartments for sale, either above or below Ye Chen's unit, in the Dijing Garden residential area in Xiamen City."

"If not, buy one at triple the price!"

"If they refuse to sell, they're disrespecting the Yan Family of the capital. I want the paperwork done tonight."

After saying that.

She hung up directly.

Li Qin was stunned, the half-eaten cucumber in her hand dropping.

What the...

Buying a place just like that?

Are capital folks all this domineering?

Ye Chen's face darkened completely.

"Yan Qingwu!"

"I order you, in my capacity as the Chief Instructor of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion—"

"Oh?" Before he could finish, Yan Qingwu suddenly blinked and asked with an innocent expression, "So you... admit you are the Chief Instructor of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion now?"

Ye Chen: "..."

He was thoroughly choked by her words.

A surge of anger stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

To be honest.

If Bing Lan weren't present, and if Ye Chen weren't concerned about her feelings and didn't want to make too big a scene at home, based on Yan Qingwu's backtalk alone, he would have already grabbed her.

Then.

Put her over his knee and given her backside a few good, hard spankings!

Aiming specifically at the areas where the leather pants were tightest and the curves most pronounced, spanking until she yielded and begged for mercy!

Seeing Ye Chen's stifled, anger-suppressing expression, Yan Qingwu felt incredibly pleased inside.

Last time, this bastard managed to show off, leaving her speechless and utterly humiliated!

This time...

She was here to reclaim her dignity!

She leaned forward slightly, propping her elbows on her knees, resting her chin on her hands, and deliberately tilted her head.

"Instructor brother~"

"Why does your face look so terrible? Are you... sick?"

The drawn-out tone, the deliberately concerned expression—it was simply adding fuel to the fire.

Just as Ye Chen was about to lose his composure and decided to throw her out first and think later...

"A-Chen."

Bing Lan, who had been sitting quietly to the side, suddenly spoke softly.

Both Ye Chen and Yan Qingwu looked at her.

Bing Lan raised her eyes, her gentle gaze settling on Ye Chen's face.

"Do whatever you want to do."

"You don't need to worry about me."

"This is our home. You are the head of the household, so naturally, you have the final say."

How perceptive was Bing Lan?

She had long seen that the main reason Ye Chen was holding back and bottling up his anger was largely because he was concerned about her feelings, which made him restrained...

She understood his consideration.

So.

She directly gave Ye Chen her fullest support.

In this home, you don't need to worry about anyone's feelings, including mine!

Hearing this, the stifling feeling in Ye Chen's heart dissipated significantly.

Damn!

With a wife like this, what more could a man ask for?

And at this moment, Ye Chen's patience had completely run out.

He flashed in front of Yan Qingwu and issued a final warning: "Get out, or I'll take action."

What a joke?

He wasn't even afraid of the Sima Family. Could a little girl like her cause any real trouble???

Yan Qingwu hadn't expected Bing Lan to say such a thing. She was stunned, but instinctively asked, "Take action? You dare lay a hand on me? I am the eldest young lady of the Yan Family of the capital..."

Ye Chen gave a cold smile. Without waiting for her to finish, he already reached out to grab her.

Yan Qingwu's expression changed. She hurriedly thrust out a hand, intending to block Ye Chen's move.

But...

Ye Chen's footwork shifted, instantly moving behind Yan Qingwu.

Yan Qingwu was immediately startled!

Her first reaction was to stop her motion, then Go with the flow swing up her shapely leg, tightly wrapped in leather pants, sweeping towards her back.

Ancient martial arts energy surged outwards, cracking the floor!

But Ye Chen merely extended one hand, lightly tapping her slender waist. Yan Qingwu's mind immediately went blank, and her movements halted.

This move, from his inheritance, was called [Flower-Probing Hand]. It specialized in subduing all kinds of defiance, capable of instantly rendering a person combat-ineffective and causing their whole body to go numb!

He grinned, taking advantage of her dazed state to circle back in front of her. With one hand, he grabbed both of Yan Qingwu's wrists and lifted her into the air.

With just one move...

Yan Qingwu became like a little rabbit held up by its ears.

"Let go!"

Coming back to her senses, Yan Qingwu's face instantly showed panic.

She realized.

The energy within her body was locked by a strange force, completely unusable!

She struggled frantically in the air, her delicate body swaying like a mermaid's.

But Ye Chen didn't let go. Instead, he reminded her, "Still being stubborn?"

"Ye Chen, you bastard!"

Yan Qingwu said sharply.

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and promptly aimed a slap at the peach-like bottom wrapped in her leather pants.

"Smack—"

Yan Qingwu trembled as if electrocuted, her cheeks flushing as she cried out indignantly, "What are you doing?"

"Still coming to my house to cause trouble?"

"If you have the guts, kill me. If you don't... this young lady will definitely get her revenge!"

...

Hearing this, Ye Chen grew somewhat angry.

Hah?

This woman was the epitome of defiance. Even subdued like this, she still dared to threaten him?

Fine!

Very well!

He stopped being polite and continued delivering powerful, heavy slaps towards Yan Qingwu's pert and upturned rear.

"Smack—"

The slap was even louder.

Yan Qingwu's body trembled uncontrollably from the hit, then she angrily shouted, "You scoundrel, stop it right now! If my grandfather knew you were treating me like this, he'd kill you!"

Ye Chen raised his palm again.

Yan Qingwu's voice cut off in fright. Panicked, she said urgently, "You dare do it again? Let go quickly!"

If she kept getting hit continuously like this, she'd die!

"Smack—"

But Ye Chen's palm fell once more. Yan Qingwu cried out in pain, her pretty face turning pale, but she still didn't beg for mercy.

Smack!

"Bastard, I will personally arrest you... mmmph!"

Smack!

"Stop! Stop it quickly... ugh!"

Smack!

"Ahh... stop... I surrender! I surrender, okay?!"

...

After being spanked repeatedly, Yan Qingwu's body trembled uncontrollably.

Extremely rapid trembling!

Exaggerated trembling of her body!

This process lasted for several whole seconds before she finally stopped shaking with a pained cry.

Li Qin watched from the side, dumbfounded.

She turned to look at Bing Lan and asked cautiously, "Sister Bing Lan, this move of yours, 'lifting the seal'... why does it look a bit... green to me?"

Bing Lan was also initially stunned by Ye Chen's actions.

Holding a girl up in the air and spanking her bottom... this scene didn't seem very proper...

But on second thought.

With Ye Chen's methods, if Yan Qingwu weren't of special status and not a mortal enemy, he probably would have killed her already. Why would he only use this kind of...

Hmm.

Slightly humiliating but not seriously injuring method to "teach her a lesson"?

She quickly regained her composure and even spoke up calmly on his behalf: "He must have his reasons for doing this."

Li Qin was taken aback for a moment, then gave a thumbs-up, sincerely praising.

"Awareness!"

"This is the awareness of the main wife!"

"Steady as Mount Tai!"

Ye Chen had already stopped over there, still holding onto Yan Qingwu's hands.

"Still stubborn?"

"Still being defiant?"

"Still coming to my house to cause trouble?"
