141: A sudden confession
Both Heavenly Profound Sect Disciples and Elders stared at Li Haotian with dumbfounded expressions.
The person they once considered a good-for-nothing who fled during the Sect's destruction battle had actually slapped a Peak Saint flying.
Su Yao's heart felt warm, and she smiled as she looked at her Revered Master.
"Thank you, Revered Master!"
Li Haotian said nothing, patted her little head, and then told them to go to the city wall themselves to learn combat techniques and experience.
Others could insult him, but they absolutely could not lay a hand on his Disciple. That guy actually wanted to slap his Disciple in front of him; this was simply outrageous!
"You!"
A low growl emanated from the pile of rubble. Everyone turned to look, only to see the pile of stones instantly melt, and a figure engulfed in raging flames stood up from within.
"Courting death!"
Sister Hong's pupils were filled with anger. Everything around her rapidly heated up, and a clear palm print had appeared on her beautiful cheek.
The next instant, the red figure swiftly rushed in front of Li Haotian. Both the Elders and Disciples only felt a blur before their eyes, and the surrounding temperature already began to rise rapidly.
Li Haotian did not use any spiritual power or any techniques. He simply relied on his Physical Body and threw another punch.
This strike was powerful and extremely fast. Sister Hong didn't even have time to block and was directly sent flying by the punch.
If the previous strike was only a three-tenths strength warning, Li Haotian's current strike used a full seven-tenths strength. A graceful arc streaked across the sky, and the red light landed outside the city wall.
Li Haotian clapped his hands, his face full of exasperation. This woman was truly insane.
Then, under the shocked gazes of the Disciples and Elders, Li Haotian walked away with his hands behind his back. The three Disciples lying on stretchers, wrapped in bandages, shivered as they watched the scene.
They had thought the other party had no Cultivation and was just an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, which was why they dared to humiliate him in front of his Disciple. But unexpectedly, the moment he acted, he directly beat a Peak Saint Powerhouse from a Sect until they had no power to retaliate.
This level of strength was already comparable to a Heavenly Monarch, or even stronger!
The three of them now lying on stretchers were filled with lingering fear. Fortunately, the other party didn't take it seriously; otherwise, he could have easily crushed them.
The other Disciples who had once mocked Li Haotian, calling him a deserter and ridiculing him, also bowed their heads, not daring to utter a single word, fearing retribution later.
Li Haotian, however, was very magnanimous. He didn't care about these false reputations at all and returned to his residence on his own.
But just as he returned and hadn't even had time to push open the door, he felt the woman's aura behind him again.
"Bang!"
Another loud bang sounded, and Sister Hong flew out again.
This continued until evening, for a full dozen hours, with Li Haotian repeatedly punching her away, and her rushing back again.
The sky was now dark, Li Haotian had finished his roasted chicken, and seeing her coming again, Li Haotian completely broke.
"Are you f*cking endless? If you come again, don't blame me for breaking your leg, disregarding the friendship between our two Sects!"
Li Haotian's mouth twitched. As he prepared to throw a punch to send her flying, he saw Sister Hong kneel straight down in front of him.
"What are you doing! I'm telling you, you brought this upon yourself, don't you dare try to extort me!"
Li Haotian was startled and retreated several steps, an angry expression on his face. This fellow wouldn't try to extort money from him, would she?
"I'm convinced, I'm completely convinced. You're the first person at the same Realm who could make me submit."
Sister Hong's voice trembled slightly, and two lines of tears slid from her eyes. She had always been an invincible existence among her peers. At the same Realm, she rarely found an opponent, let alone now that she was a Peak Saint.
As a Prodigy of her generation, she believed that even against a Heavenly Monarch Powerhouse, she could put up a fight. But today, facing Li Haotian, he not only didn't use any Cultivation Technique or any Move, but simply used his Physical Body strength to easily crush her.
"Good that you're convinced. If you're convinced, hurry back. I'm truly convinced by you too."
Li Haotian grumbled, preparing to see her off, but Sister Hong directly sat by his bonfire and picked up a chicken to eat.
"Hey, hey, hey! This is for my Disciples, what are you eating! Pay up!"
Li Haotian immediately became displeased. The two chickens by the bonfire were for Su Yao and Zhang Hai, and this fellow just picked one up and started gnawing on it without a word.
"I like you, be my Dao Companion."
Sister Hong blurted out this sentence unexpectedly. Although she looked a bit bruised, a visible blush still appeared on her beautiful face.
"Creak..."
The door to the residence was pushed open, and Zhang Hai and Su Yao happened to walk in, freezing at the sight before them.
The scene fell into a deathly silence.
"Did I hit you so hard your brain broke?"
Li Haotian looked at his fists with some doubt. He hadn't used much force in the later punches; she couldn't really have been hit silly by him, could she? If Chiyuan Sect made him pay compensation then, it would be quite troublesome.
"No, I'm serious. Be my Dao Companion. Only a powerful Cultivator like you is worthy of being my Dao Companion!"
Sister Hong stood up and swallowed a few Medicinal Pills, and the scars on her face disappeared completely.
"Creak..."
Another sound. Su Yao and Zhang Hai had already cleverly run away. The subsequent events seemed to be beyond their scope of hearing. If they stayed there without discretion, they might be tormented by Revered Master in a different way.
Just like last time, Su Yao secretly ate a piece of Li Haotian's smoked meat, and the next day when making chicken legs, Li Haotian specifically carved a piece of ginger into the shape of a chicken leg and gave it to Su Yao to eat.
One bite and Su Yao almost exploded!
This incident was even more serious than the last, so the two decisively chose to run away.
Li Haotian fell into silence, pondering if he could punch her brain back to normal if he threw a few more punches.
"This is impossible. We aren't even from the same Sect, let alone becoming Dao Companions. We don't even meet normally, right?"
Li Haotian tried his best to appear calm, attempting to reason with her.
He still had a lot of anger in his heart just now, finding this woman annoying, but after she pulled this stunt, he suddenly couldn't get angry anymore.
"I can withdraw from Chiyuan Sect. As long as you're willing, I can join Heavenly Profound Sect anytime."
Li Haotian fell silent again after hearing this. Sister Hong stared at him with a very serious gaze, with no hint of joking.
This made Li Haotian a little dazed. No wonder she immediately offered to buy his Disciple; it turned out her ideas were so outlandish.
