20: I'm not a complete man!

Ouyang Yaoxi sneered, "It's not that I look down on your City Lord’s Manor, but if you want to destroy my Ouyang Family and the Ye Family, I'm afraid your City Lord’s Manor doesn't have the ability!"

"Doesn't have the ability?"

Wang Ming threw Ouyang Yaoxi onto the bed like a piece of trash. He raised his right hand, and a strand of spiritual energy, condensed as if it were solid, slowly gathered.

Seeing this, Ouyang Yaoxi’s pupils shrank, and she blurted out, "Solidified spiritual energy... You're at the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer?!"

Her worldview was on the verge of collapsing!

To think that she had joined Qingxin Palace and Cultivated diligently for many years only to barely step into the Foundation Establishment Layer One.

Yet this Wang Ming, who spent his days chasing women and living a life of debauchery, actually had a cultivation base of the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer!

Then what did her years of leaving home and burying herself in bitter cultivation day and night count for?

At this moment, Wang Ming suddenly smiled and said, "Now, do you still think I can't destroy your Ouyang Family?"

Ouyang Yaoxi fell silent.

Inside the City Lord’s Manor, there was already a Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer expert, Wang Changfu.

Even if the Ouyang Family used the power of the entire clan, the best result would only be escaping Qingzhou City and barely surviving.

Moreover, after such a battle, the number of survivors from the Ouyang Family would definitely not be many.

If Wang Ming was added to the mix... the Ouyang Family would face certain death!

But to let her become Wang Ming's maidservant?

She also found it hard to accept!

As things stood, there was only one way... seek help!

Her master was the Grand Elder of Qingxin Palace, who had a Core Formation cultivation.

If she could get her to intervene, a mere Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer could be wiped out with a wave of a hand!

Thinking of this, Ouyang Yaoxi lowered her head. "I agree to be your maidservant, but in a few days, I must return to Qingxin Palace to report. You cannot stop me."

Wang Ming chuckled.

Having fought together in "dual combat" with such rapport, Wang Ming immediately guessed her little scheme the moment Ouyang Yaoxi moved her eyebrows.

However, he didn't care in the slightest.

He and Ouyang Yaoxi were formally married with the support of both sets of parents.

No one could find any fault!

Ouyang Yaoxi wanted to call for outside help to deal with the City Lord’s Manor. Setting aside whether the City Lord’s Manor could handle it, the Ouyang Family would definitely be the first to disagree.

They had sacrificed so much, even their daughter, to finally establish a connection with the City Lord’s Manor.

They hadn't even started to see a return on their investment yet.

How could they just stand by and watch Ouyang Yaoxi act recklessly!

Furthermore, if Ouyang Yaoxi could find outside help, couldn't Wang Ming do the same?

With his Aptitude, he believed many Sects would be interested.

If he joined any of them, the treatment would definitely not be worse than Ouyang Yaoxi's.

Qingxin Palace's forced intervention in the affairs of a married couple was already unreasonable. When the time came, they would be even less likely to offend him and the power behind him for Ouyang Yaoxi's sake!

Thinking of this, Wang Ming nodded. "Fine."

Seeing that Wang Ming actually agreed, a cold sneer couldn't help but flash in the depths of Ouyang Yaoxi's eyes.

I'll let you be smug for a while. Once I return to Qingxin Palace and bring my master back, I'll make you kneel before me and lick my feet!

At this moment, Wang Ming suddenly moved, reaching his hand toward his waist.

Ouyang Yaoxi panicked instantly. "You... what are you trying to do?"

"Since you're a maidservant, then this should also be within your scope of service, right?"

"Don't come over here!!!"

Amidst Ouyang Yaoxi's cries of alarm, Wang Ming directly launched a surprise attack... "Wang Ming, I will definitely make you pay for everything you've done... Hiss~!"

Ouyang Yaoxi limped out of the City Lord’s Manor.

The intense pain made her entire face twist.

"You lecher, you bastard, kicking so hard, it hurts so much."

Ouyang Yaoxi cursed all the way. Instead of returning to the Ouyang Family, she went straight to the Ye Family.

After everything that had happened, the guilt she felt for Ye Chen had reached its peak.

And for the next period of time, in order to play along with Wang Ming, she still needed to cooperate and live in the City Lord’s Manor.

To avoid any misunderstanding from Ye Chen, she felt it was necessary to give him a heads-up first.

At the same time, she felt a bit worried.

She was no longer a virgin. If Brother Ye Chen found out in the future, how would she explain?

"There was a cucumber on the ground, I didn't pay attention and slipped, and then I just happened to fall onto it?"

Ouyang Yaoxi shook her head repeatedly; that reason was too lame.

Only a fool would believe it!

"What if Brother Ye Chen actually believes it?"

Ouyang Yaoxi brainstormed all the way until she arrived at the front of the Ye Residence.

"Halt! This is the Ye Family's restricted area. No unauthorized persons allowed!"

The guards in charge of the gate stopped her.

Toward Ye Chen's clansmen, Ouyang Yaoxi's attitude was quite gentle. She said softly, "I am Ouyang Yaoxi. Please report that I've come to find Ye Chen."

The guards were stunned. Another person from the Ouyang Family?

Wait... Ouyang Yaoxi?!

It's the Ouyang Yaoxi who broke off the engagement with Ye Chen to marry Wang Ming!

The guards exchanged looks and felt it was necessary to report it.

After all, she was the Patriarch's old flame.

"Wait a moment, I'll go report it now."

A guard turned and entered the residence.

Soon, Ye Chen walked out of the residence.

Looking at the figure that had haunted her dreams for years, Ouyang Yaoxi was immediately filled with joy. "Brother Ye Chen!"

Ye Chen glanced at her expressionlessly, passed her, and walked straight ahead.

"Follow me."

Ouyang Yaoxi's smile instantly froze on her face.

She stared blankly at Ye Chen's back, waves of emotion surging in her heart.

Is it because we haven't seen each other for so long that we've... grown distant?

Or is it because Brother Ye Chen really does mind that my father took it upon himself to break off the engagement?

With a nervous heart, Ouyang Yaoxi quickly followed him.

Shortly after they left, Ye Di's figure appeared at the entrance.

When the guard went in to report to Ye Chen earlier, he had learned of Ouyang Yaoxi's arrival from the guard.

"On the first day of marriage, the wife goes out to have a secret meeting with another man. If this gets out..."

Ye Di sneered and followed in the direction of Ye Chen and the other.

Qingzhou City was traversed by the Qingyang River.

At this moment, by the bank of the Qingyang River, in a deserted spot.

Ye Chen looked at the river's surface and said in a calm tone, "I heard... you got married. Congratulations."

Ouyang Yaoxi's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly said, "It's not like that, Brother Ye Chen, let me explain..."

Ye Chen interrupted, "I went to the City Lord’s Manor yesterday."

Ouyang Yaoxi was completely stunned!

"You..." Her whole heart was trembling.

She clearly remembered that Wang Ming had taken her to the window at that time.

At first, she thought it was just a whim of Wang Ming's.

But now, she understood everything!

Wang Ming's purpose was to let Ye Chen see!

Ye Chen turned to look at her, his eyes colder than if he were looking at a stranger. "Madam Wang, I should probably call you that now, right? From this moment on, you take your broad road, and I'll cross my single-plank bridge."

"Let this meeting serve as a Perfection to our story. Next time we meet, I will treat you as an enemy."

After saying that, Ye Chen didn't look back and turned to leave.

"It's not what you think, let me explain, it's..." Ouyang Yaoxi shouted with red eyes.

"There's no need for an explanation!" Ye Chen shook his head and continued walking.

"Then why didn't you come to snatch the bride like I told you to!" Ouyang Yaoxi's voice also carried a hint of anger.

She was also a victim, she also felt wronged, especially at a time like this—she was the one who needed comfort more!

Ye Chen stopped and turned around. He wanted to explain, but on second thought, things had already developed to this point, and there was no need for an explanation.

So, he let out a suppressed roar, "You want to know why? Fine, I'll fucking tell you now. Because... I'm not a damn complete man!"

"I can't give you the pleasure that Wang Ming can! Are you satisfied now?"
