83: Slap yourself in the face until you pass out
"Young Master, my Junior Sister is new to the Family and doesn't know proper etiquette. She was very offensive just now, please forgive her, Young Master."
"But rest assured, Young Master, I will definitely educate her when I return, so she won't dare to offend again next time!"
Seeing that his own people had caused trouble, the leading man first gave his Junior Sister a reproachful look, then immediately stepped forward, bowed to Jun Lingxiao, and spoke with deep apology.
In his heart, he was cursing, 'Are you f*cking blind?'
Does this kind of attire and temperament look like someone from the Lower Realm?!
However, this is a common problem for most newcomers. They stay in their families for so long that they believe their Family is invincible, not to mention that this Junior Sister has a beautiful face and is very doted upon in the Family.
She was spoiled.
"Won't dare to offend again next time? Does that mean this time it's just going to pass?"
Jun Lingxiao tapped his fingers lightly and said nothing, just watching indifferently.
It was An Luoxin, standing beside him, who spoke.
The other party was merely a small fry, not even a supporting character; for Jun Lingxiao to step forward would be somewhat beneath him.
"This Young Master, I'll take the blame for..."
People are always protective of their own. The leader wanted to make a small matter out of it, but unfortunately, he met Jun Lingxiao.
"You want to die for her?"
When these words fell, the man's face instantly turned ugly, and he remained silent.
And the people behind him also prepared for battle.
"It's clear you are a smart person, and you should know that some things can be taken the blame for, while others cannot."
"Tell her to roll over here and speak."
An Luoxin's expression was serious, not at all as if she was speaking casually.
She was serious.
She had nothing to do with this trip to the Lower Realm and was already full of resentment, and now someone had delivered themselves to her.
As soon as these words came out, the man who had stepped forward looked troubled.
The attire, demeanor, and temperament of these two were extraordinary and clearly not to be trifled with.
'Why did you have to say something unnecessary!'
He was filled with regret.
But the woman who spoke was his cousin, whom he had specifically brought out for experience, and he couldn't just ignore her.
"Cousin..."
The person who had spoken earlier was scared out of her wits, and at the same time, she was a bit confused. They were the Chu Family People, did anyone dare to speak to the Chu Family People like this?
And why was her cousin being so polite to him, seemingly at a disadvantage.
How could she, a newcomer, know the vastness of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces? The Chu Family, which she regarded as invincible, was merely one of the Ten Chiefs among the most powerful in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.
"Oh my, oh my!"
"Your Highness! What happened, Your Highness?"
"Did they offend you?"
At this moment, the Chu Family's Family Head rushed over.
He had naturally received news from the Upper Realm that a Chu Family Disciple was coming to this realm to find someone. Originally, such a matter only required a greeting to the people below and didn't need him to personally intervene.
But he had forgotten one crucial thing: Jun Lingxiao!
Such a figure was still in the Qing Tian Realm. How could these Disciples from the Middle Thousand World know of his name? If any friction occurred, it would be disastrous, so he rushed over in a hurry.
It wasn't a big deal not to come, but when he did, he was shocked.
This tense scene scared the soul out of him!
He spoke to Jun Lingxiao while kneeling.
"This is...?"
The Chu Family People were a bit dazed. One must know that Chu Yongyuan was quite renowned in the Middle Thousand World, but such a figure actually knelt down????
Who was this Young Master??
"Why are you standing there stunned?! Kneel! All of you, kneel! Quickly!"
"Do you know who this is??"
"This is His Highness, the Divine Son of the Jun Family! You dare to stand while speaking to him?! Are you tired of living?!"
Under Chu Yongyuan's furious scolding, the heads of the people behind him buzzed, but they still obediently knelt down.
Even the beautiful woman from before reluctantly knelt down as well.
At the same time, they thought, 'Divine Son of the Jun Family?'
Why should the Divine Son of the Jun Family make the Chu Family People kneel?
However, thinking about it, someone finally connected the dots.
The Jun Family... wasn't that the in-laws' Family of the Chu Family?
The marriage alliance between the Jun Family and the Chu Family had a long history. By this calculation, Jun Lingxiao was also considered a Young Lord of the Chu Family, so their kneeling was truly justified.
"Your Highness, please calm your anger! It's also my fault for not notifying you beforehand..."
Chu Yongyuan still wanted to speak, but he was immediately interrupted by Jun Lingxiao.
"Shh~"
"Shifting responsibility back and forth, it's getting a bit annoying."
"Tell her to come over and speak."
Finally, Jun Lingxiao spoke.
He raised his hand in a 'shush' gesture, then sat there. His aura was restrained, but that majesty made everyone feel on edge.
It was an inviolable majesty, as if if you dared to say half a word more, your head would immediately fall to the ground.
So high and mighty.
"Who?? Who offended His Highness!"
Chu Yongyuan looked back and saw that the lowered heads of several people simultaneously turned towards the woman.
Her face was still bewildered, but she remained pitifully charming, and with her beautiful features, she indeed seemed very doted upon.
However, her usual face was useless at this moment.
She was practically carried by a group of people and brought to kneel before Jun Lingxiao.
"What did you say just now? Speak."
"I didn't hear clearly."
Jun Lingxiao said with an indifferent expression, but every word that fell into the woman's ears felt like an insult.
"..."
"Speak! His Highness wants you to speak!" Seeing her remain silent, Chu Yongyuan immediately shouted, "These little brats, do you know who is in front of you?"
He had just annihilated a top-tier power... The Jiang Family of the Upper Thousand Realms, three-tenths of their foundation was gone, and several supreme experts had fallen. You dare to talk about such an existence?
"I said... I haven't even heard of a Spiritual Root..."
The woman automatically omitted the first half of her sentence and stammered out the latter half of what she had said earlier.
Jun Lingxiao watched coldly. There were always some women who used their looks as capital, relying on this capital as if it were a get-out-of-jail-free card, saying and doing anything.
In his previous life, when he read novels, he saw many such plots that gave him a brain hemorrhage, and yet the protagonist couldn't do anything to her, or deliberately let her go.
He didn't expect to encounter it himself one day.
Logically speaking, she just made a small complaint; a normal protagonist would definitely just laugh it off.
But unfortunately, he was not the protagonist, but a villain.
If he wanted to torture you, he would torture you.
"What did she say just now?"
Seeing the other party's voice getting lower and lower, Jun Lingxiao directly asked An Luoxin, who was beside him.
"She said, 'Where did such a rustic person come from, who hasn't even heard of a Spiritual Root?'"
An Luoxin repeated all of the other party's words verbatim, and with a hint of sarcasm on her lips, she looked at the person and continued:
"It's just an ant peeking at the heavens, gloating over two Spiritual Roots, yet unaware that it's merely a comparison between ants, utterly useless."
"People of the Ten Directions Immortal Court are born with all-elemental Spiritual Roots, so why would they need to know about such useless things?"
"An ant getting its way, utterly ridiculous."
Jun Lingxiao listened and nodded with satisfaction, then, without looking at the naive girl kneeling before him, he looked at Chu Yongyuan.
"The world is vast, yet merely coming from the Middle Thousand World makes one so arrogant. If this were a person from my Jun Family, they would be stripped naked and dragged through the streets."
"Then, Family Head Chu, how do you think she should be disciplined?"
Jun Lingxiao directly threw this question to Chu Yongyuan.
When a subordinate commits an offense, it is naturally for those above to discipline them, not for him to lower his status and personally intervene.
"This person spoke disrespectfully, she should be slapped!"
Chu Yongyuan said, then looked up at Jun Lingxiao. Seeing no change in his expression, he was relieved and looked back at the naive girl, sternly saying:
"Why are you standing there stunned! Aren't you going to do it? Or do you want me to help you?"
As Chu Yongyuan's words fell, the woman's body trembled. No matter how unwilling, she began to slap herself.
But looking at her feeble strength, it was like playing around.
"Slap!"
Chu Yongyuan, seeing her dawdle, directly delivered a heavy slap.
You're courting death! It doesn't matter if you don't know who this is, just don't drag me down!
"Harder! Or if you want to die, I can grant your wish!"
Chu Yongyuan's eyes were red with anxiety, looking terrifying.
This slap stunned the naive girl, but looking at Chu Yongyuan's face, she gritted her teeth. This time, she no longer dared to hold back, striking with such force that crisp sounds echoed, and her beautiful face became somewhat bruised.
Jun Lingxiao gazed down with eyes that were utterly cold.
The constant echo of slaps continued. Her once beautiful face instantly swelled into a pig's face, and even blood flowed from the corners of her mouth.
But as long as Jun Lingxiao didn't call for her to stop, she had to keep slapping.
Is this enough?
Clearly, it wasn't enough. Abusing power was not used in this manner.
"Speaking of which, I heard a saying, what was it again? Oh. Those who protect... are equally guilty."
Jun Lingxiao sat upright, and with a light, airy sentence, the few others in her group exchanged glances and also began to slap themselves.
At this moment, their expressions towards the woman in front were full of resentment.
Why did you have to offend him of all people, and couldn't you see his demeanor? Usually, you're so arrogant, ignoring everyone, and now look, you've hit a wall!
They were even dragged into it.
At this moment, the few of them were filled with regret. If they had pushed her out to apologize from the start, this might not have happened.
And the woman in front was even more regretful. Normally, who didn't dote on her? Let alone slapping herself, even if she fell, someone would comfort her.
A whispered remark could bring about an unwarranted disaster; she would never dare again... After a full fifteen minutes of slapping, the naive girl fainted directly, her face swollen like a pig's head.
Not only her, but the other few also fainted, leaving only the leader and another man conscious, but their faces were also heavily swollen.
They had originally thought that Jun Lingxiao would only give a slight punishment, but they didn't expect him to have no intention of calling a stop!
When would it stop?
It would only stop when they fainted!
This was not a minor discipline; it was clearly meant to kill them!
Only after Jun Lingxiao grew bored and found it uninteresting, walking away for quite some time, did they dare to stop. The two men helped each other up.
"!!!? Ugh, my, my, eyes!"
At this point, both of their mouths were severely swollen, making it difficult to even speak.
Looking back, they saw a scene that made them freeze.
The blood lamp they had brought, which had been left untouched, was actually... shattered!!!
