NOVEL NEXT Chapter 32 - Jun Jiuxiao Loves Face Slapping
When Jun Jiuxiao heard Ji Lingtian’s words, he burst into laughter and said, “You just acknowledged a wild father for yourself, and now you want to be someone else’s father?”
Those present heard this and tried to hold back their laughter, after all, Ji Lingtian’s “wild father” was Ji Heng, the younger brother of the Ji family patriarch.
The young master of the Qin family couldn’t resist and laughed out loud, and others lowered their heads to chuckle.
Ji Yu even felt a bit pleased. He had just been made awkward by Jun Jiuxiao, but now it wasn’t his problem anymore, which was great.
Ji Lingtian’s face alternated between white and red from embarrassment and anger due to Jun Jiuxiao’s words.
Lin Su was thinking of ways to make the Xuantian Holy Son despise Ji Lanqing, that wretch, hoping he would kill her. She was also worried that Ji Lanqing might reveal that the spiritual bone and the Fire Spirit Body were obtained from her.
After Jun Jiuxiao’s remark, Ji Lanqing coldly responded, “I don’t have the habit of acknowledging wild fathers.”
Ji Lingtian didn’t dare to get angry at Jun Jiuxiao, but how dare this lowborn Ji Lanqing speak to him in such a tone?
“You rebellious daughter, you even deny acknowledging your father? Who gave you the courage?”
“I did,” Jun Jiuxiao answered Ji Lingtian.
Ji Lingtian was speechless again. He dared to bully Ji Lanqing firstly because he had been abusing and tormenting her for over a decade, and secondly because Ji Lanqing was only at the late stage of Blood Tempering realm, lacking in strength.
Most of the spiritual power from the Fire Essence Crystal had been absorbed by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, with a small portion used by Ji Lanqing to enhance her strength, so she was now at the late stage of Blood Tempering realm.
Ji Yu couldn’t just keep watching the show, after all, this Ji Lingtian was now his father’s son, a member of the Ji family’s main branch. If he lost face, it would be the Ji family losing face.
“Holy Son, this maid of yours is indeed Lingtian’s daughter. Let’s not make a big fuss over nothing.”
Ji Yu didn’t know about the situation between Ji Lanqing and Ji Lingtian’s family, unaware that they were mortal enemies. Otherwise, he would never have tried to smooth things over.
Jun Jiuxiao didn’t speak; Ji Yu was too insignificant, and talking to him would be a waste of breath. He’d wait for someone who could make decisions to arrive, then he’d thoroughly slap their face, which would be satisfying and allow him to vent anger on Ji Lanqing’s behalf.
Everyone present could see that Ji Lingtian’s family and this Xuantian Holy Son’s maid had a grudge, a big one at that. The Holy Son had come today specifically to seek revenge for his maid.
They just didn’t know how this father and daughter had come to be enemies, and they hadn’t heard that Ji Lingtian had another daughter.
Seeing that Jun Jiuxiao didn’t speak, Ji Yu couldn’t figure out his intentions and didn’t dare to continue.
No one else at the scene dared to suddenly speak up, so the banquet suddenly became dead silent.
Ji Yuexi was nearly grinding her teeth to pieces. Originally, this was supposed to be her grand spirit body awakening banquet, but now all face had been lost.
Lin Su’s mind turned, and she walked to Ji Yuexi’s ear and whispered, “Yuexi, this Xuantian Holy Son isn’t bad. You’re a thousand times more excellent than that lowborn Ji Lanqing, who can only become a lowly thing serving others. If you can capture the Xuantian Holy Son’s heart, the Ji family would be nothing in comparison.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuexi’s eyes lit up. The mother and daughter exchanged a glance, understanding each other’s intentions.
Lin Su spoke first, lovingly addressing Ji Lanqing, “Lanqing, you have some misunderstandings about me and your father. Let’s talk it over in private, so as not to let others laugh at us.”
She then spoke in a tone that suggested Ji Lanqing was just a child who didn’t know better, “Holy Son, Lanqing has been… mischievous since she was young. Her father and I were a bit strict, so she threw tantrums and even grew to hate her father. Alas, it’s my fault.”
Jun Jiuxiao caught a whiff of tea, ah, reminiscent of the “green tea bitches” he’d seen in countless short videos on Blue Star.
He smiled playfully, looking at Lin Su with interest.
Lin Su, thinking Jun Jiuxiao believed her, continued with more false sweetness, “Since Yuexi has a higher talent and awakened the Fire Spirit Body, Lanqing… ran away from home. We, as parents, searched for her for a long time, thinking she was gone. Fortunately, she met the Holy Son.”
She wiped away an imaginary tear, then turned to Ji Yuexi and said, “Yuexi, come quickly and thank the Holy Son for saving your sister.”
Ji Yuexi’s face flushed slightly as she approached with a shy demeanor, her voice high-pitched as she said, “Thank you, brother Holy Son, for saving my sister.” She tilted her head slightly, exposing her beautiful profile to Jun Jiuxiao.
Ji Lanqing’s anger had reached its peak. How dare that bitch Ji Yuexi try to seduce my Holy Son? I must tear her into a thousand pieces.
“Whose chicken is running around, making such noise here?”
As soon as Jun Jiuxiao said this, many people couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
The young master of the Qin family laughed the loudest.
Ji Lanqing also started laughing. Indeed, the Holy Son wouldn’t be interested in women like Ji Yuexi. The Holy Son is so good; I must work hard to cultivate and surpass him.
The faces of Ji Yuexi and her mother changed instantly, but they didn’t dare do anything to Jun Jiuxiao. Ji Yuexi could only vent her anger on Ji Lanqing, “Ji Lanqing, you wretch, did you say bad things about me to the Holy Son? Why don’t you just die, bitch—”
Before she could finish speaking, Jun Jiuxiao slapped Ji Yuexi, sending her flying. Fortunately, Ji Hao caught her in time.
“If you don’t know how to speak, you might as well not have a mouth in the future.”
Jun Jiuxiao was now a little in love with slapping people, it’s really fun.
He also understood why women in TV dramas from his previous life loved slapping faces during catfights—it was truly amazing.
Without needing any instructions from Jun Jiuxiao, Ji Lanqing obediently brought a basin of water, cleaned his hands, and then carefully wiped them clean.
The Qin family’s young master thought to himself that this Xuantian Holy Son was truly something else. First, he slapped someone and then washed his hands, showing that he still considered the person dirty.
However, seeing someone from the Ji family being slapped in the face was immensely satisfying. He almost wished he could replace Jun Jiuxiao to slap Ji Yuexi himself.
“Yuexi!” Lin Su cried out in alarm and rushed to Ji Yuexi.
Ji Yuexi’s face was swollen on one side. Jun Jiuxiao had even used spiritual energy to ensure that her face would stay swollen for at least a month with no remedy available.
As for why it wasn’t permanent, well, Ji Yuexi’s looks were ordinary to begin with. The swelling actually improved her appearance.
Jun Jiuxiao wasn’t in the business of providing free plastic surgery.
