17: Chapter 17 Miss Leng, are you serious?

At this moment, Kang Dalei completely changed from his previous arrogant demeanor, fawning over Leng Yanshuang to the extreme.

"I've always said, for a genius like Miss Leng, let alone the entire Xining Prefecture, even if you combined the East and West Prefectures, there isn't a single person with as much talent as Miss Leng."

"Kang Dalei, stop feeding me this empty nonsense. No matter what you say today, you are going to die here."

Leng Yanshuang appeared before Kang Dalei with her bare feet, and then stomped her foot down hard, pinning his face beneath her sole.

"Didn't you have a great time hitting me just now? What's wrong? Scared?"

"Hehehe, it's just that I can't beat you. Besides, you're so beautiful, how could I have the heart to lay a hand on you?"

"You really are shameless."

Leng Yanshuang inwardly cursed Kang Dalei for being shameless and brazen. She unleashed her secret technique, preparing to gather an Ice Dragon to slam down and knock him unconscious so she could return to Xining Prefecture.

But just as she was unleashing her secret technique, Kang Dalei, who had been pinned under her bare feet, suddenly launched a surprise attack.

He wrapped his arms around her legs with all his might and threw her down to the ground without a hint of mercy.

Immediately after, before Leng Yanshuang could react, Kang Dalei swung his demon-slaying blade, unleashing several blade flashes that shattered the surrounding ice.

He then followed up with several consecutive punches to Leng Yanshuang's body, leaving many marks on her already injured and flimsy clothing.

"Kang Dalei~"

At this moment, having been struck several times, Leng Yanshuang's eyes blazed with fire, and she couldn't help but shout.

But before she could get up, the wind from Kang Dalei's fist arrived at her face again.

Of course, being able to reach the peak of the Wulou Realm before the age of twenty, and even stepping into the pseudo-Danyun Realm, Leng Yanshuang's strength and reflexes were far beyond those of ordinary people.

However, after taking a few consecutive punches, she immediately found a gap in Kang Dalei's defense and kicked him flying.

"Bastard, I'm going to kill you."

Looking at her already sparse clothing, now torn to shreds by Kang Dalei, Leng Yanshuang's chest heaved, and her voice trembled.

"Today, even if it violates the law, I am going to kill you here."

She had originally intended to transport Kang Dalei back to Xining Prefecture to face judgment by the people, but his insolence and repeated courting of death had completely incited her intent to kill.

"Secret Technique: Ice-Sealing Heaven and Earth."

Leng Yanshuang stood on her tiptoes, gathering a massive ice pillar in her hands as fine snowflakes began to appear in the surroundings.

A wave of cold air emanated from her body, mixed with a very, very fragrant scent.

But Kang Dalei had no time to admire Leng Yanshuang's beauty or enjoy her scent right now.

He only knew that if he didn't completely beat this tsundere woman into submission today, he wouldn't be able to settle this matter.

"Since that's the case, then please, Miss Leng, enlighten me."

"However." Halfway through his sentence, Kang Dalei suddenly changed from his serious expression and said with a grin:

"If I can survive Miss Leng's full-power outburst, could you agree to one request of mine?"

"If you can survive at my hands, I will be your wife."

Leng Yanshuang was truly furious at this moment; without even thinking about Kang Dalei's words, she answered off the cuff.

Kang Dalei had been calling her 'wife' earlier, and she thought he liked her, so she took it for granted that his request would be to possess her.

Of course, that wasn't entirely wrong, because Kang Dalei wanted to make her a member of the Death Fishing Village, which practically meant she would be his person.

"Since Miss Leng is so forthright, then this Kang will hold nothing back."

"Do I need you to hold back?" Leng Yanshuang said coldly, instantly unleashing the Ice Dragon from her hands. As the Ice Dragon danced, a thick layer of ice began to form rapidly all around them.

Seeing this, Kang Dalei swung his demon-slaying blade, whipping up a gale, and within moments, he hacked the incoming Ice Dragon to pieces.

But before he could even pause, several more Ice Dragons flew in simultaneously from four directions.

Kang Dalei cursed inwardly; these magic-users were all underhanded. He then mobilized the baleful energy within his body and began to break the magic with brute force.

One punch, the Ice Dragon shuddered; two punches, the Ice Dragon cracked; three punches, the Ice Dragon shattered.

Only now, standing atop the ice pillar and revealing a flawless, fair leg, did Leng Yanshuang realize that everything Kang Dalei had done before was an act; he had been hiding his strength all along.

"Good, good, good. I didn't expect you to be able to break my Foundation Technique without any effort."

"Kang Dalei, I underestimated you. You are qualified to have me, but if you truly want to possess me, let's see if you can take this move."

"Ten Thousand Dragons Return to Origin, Ice Sealing Ten Thousand Miles."

Leng Yanshuang began to form hand seals, and the surrounding mist began to rise sharply. In just a moment, the area for hundreds of meters around was completely shrouded in a layer of ice. Within this ice, Leng Yanshuang's aura surged, pushing directly toward the Danyun Realm.

"What terrifying power. Could it be a Divine Venerable?"

Kang Dalei was also shocked by this aura. He hadn't expected that not only he, but also Leng Yanshuang, had been hiding her true strength.

"It seems that if I want to beat you into submission, I have no choice but to use all my baleful energy."

Kang Dalei took a deep breath, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and gathered all of his limited nine-colored white baleful energy onto his fist. He was going to defeat the enemy in one move.

Meanwhile, Leng Yanshuang gritted her teeth, sweat beading on her forehead. Clearly, wielding this power was also very difficult for her.

"Come, let's fight."

As the move landed, a terrifying barrier formed for several miles around. As the wind from Kang Dalei's punch descended, Leng Yanshuang's Ice Dragon began to fracture inch by inch, until its entire body turned into ice shards and merged with the ground.

However, the moment Kang Dalei shattered the Ice Dragon, Leng Yanshuang seemed to suffer some kind of backlash; she vomited a mouthful of blood and fell from the ice pillar, swaying unsteadily.

Before she lost consciousness, she whispered, "Husband, catch me," which left Kang Dalei bewildered, but he still reached out and caught her.

The moment she was held by Kang Dalei, a trace of a smile finally appeared on Leng Yanshuang's icy face before she passed out.

It's just unclear if, after she wakes up and sees the servant contract Kang Dalei prepared for her, she will try to beat this bastard to death.

Death Fishing Village, inside Kang Dalei's wooden cabin.

Having carried Leng Yanshuang back to the base, Kang Dalei, without hesitation, looted everything of value on her, calling it a 'medical fee'.

However, although there were many valuable items, there were no demon cores, which were what he wanted.

So, without a word, Kang Dalei prepared an IOU in addition to the servant contract.

Miss Leng Yanshuang of the Xining Prefecture Leng family owes Kang Dalei of the Death Fishing Village one hundred thousand demon cores.

He originally wanted to write one million, but after thinking about it, he erased the last zero.

It was, in a way, giving the Leng family's Divine Venerable some face.

Two days passed in a flash. While cultivating at the fish pond, Kang Dalei was attracted by a beautiful figure.

Who else could it be but Leng Yanshuang?

With her golden bangs, tsundere face, cold and arrogant eyes, and a stunning figure, she immediately got Kang Dalei feeling things.

"Husband, what are you doing?"

Leng Yanshuang's single sentence completely stunned Kang Dalei, leaving him disoriented.

"What did you say?" Kang Dalei asked again, unsure.

Leng Yanshuang just shook her head and said earnestly:

"You defeated me. I once said that whoever could defeat me while at the same cultivation realm, I would marry. Furthermore, you and I have a prior agreement; after I lost, I am your person."

Kang Dalei's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Miss Leng, are you for real?"
