Chapter 1289: Abuse
Murong Yan nodded, thinking Xiaowu's words made sense.
If this guy was stupid and jumped into Crescent Lake to kill himself, disciplining a fool would certainly make people laugh if it got out.
So, if he's stupid, I won't discipline him; if he's not, I'll have to beat him to death.
Xia Liu stared intently at Murong Yan.
He had a premonition that this girl was about to do something terrifying to him.
But he didn't move, not daring to make the slightest disturbance.
If he exposed himself, he would either be thrown out of the mountain by this girl or discovered by the Murong Family's strong members.
The maid called her Third Miss.
She must hold a certain position in the Murong Family.
As long as he could move her, he might be able to enter the Murong Family!
Ha!
Xia Liu suppressed his laughter, performing with all the potential he could muster.
Slap!
However, before Xia Liu could react, a slap landed directly on his left cheek.
Slap!
Another crisp sound, and the right cheek wasn't spared.
Slap slap slap...
Seeing Xia Liu always staring at her, Murong Yan's palm moved quickly.
Subsequently, Xia Liu's head was seen tilting left and right.
The sound of palm meeting cheek resonated rhythmically like music.
Xiaowu was completely dumbfounded.
She thought, "Third Miss is not testing, she's outright abusing."
She was determined to harshly discipline Xia Liu.
Xia Liu's cheeks are somewhat red now.
Frustration!
When did this day come for him?
Being beaten while suspended, and by a woman!
An uncle can tolerate it but a nephew cannot!
Just as Xia Liu was about to act, suddenly, there was a commotion in the distant forest.
Unable to use Divine Sense, Xia Liu couldn't be sure what it was.
Fortunately, Xia Liu's rage had not yet fully ignited when Murong Yan stopped her actions.
"Phew... I'm exhausted!"
Murong Yan stood over Xia Liu, hands on hips, slightly out of breath.
Because of her height, she had to look up at Xia Liu.
During the action, she had to tiptoe, and without augmenting with Spiritual Energy, it was really tiring.
"Third Miss, isn't this a bit inappropriate? He's practically an idiot..."
"Hmm, I can see that, but he should still feel pain, right? I've slapped both cheeks red."
Murmured Murong Yan, puzzled.
"He probably does feel it. Looks like his brain is malfunctioning. What should we do next?"
Xiaowu had her ideas, but she still had to listen to Third Miss.
"Xiaowu, go back and call two people, then get him thrown outside later."
Murong Yan could only come up with this plan; who told Xia Liu to act dead?
Xia Liu was furious, beaten up and now they wanted to throw him away casually.
Damnit!
"Heh, no need to bother, just go ahead and kill me."
"Ah! You can talk!"
Murong Yan was startled by Xia Liu's sudden voice.
"Your brain isn't broken?"
Xiaowu also involuntarily stepped back a few steps.
This sudden speech can really frighten someone to death.
"What's the use of good or bad? I'm a cripple, what use is there for me in the world!"
Xia Liu suddenly seemed to go mad.
The tall stature, coupled with solemn words, stunned the two women in an instant.
"You frighten me!"
After coming to her senses, Murong Yan gave a solemn shout, leaking her aura of level ten Qi Cultivation.
Boom!
The nearby Xia Liu was immediately hit by the overwhelming force.
With no guard up, his body shot a few meters away.
"Third Miss! Calm down, you'll kill him!"
Xiaowu said with difficulty.
Although she wasn't too close, she was also brushed by Murong Yan's aura; luckily, she had her cultivation protecting her, otherwise, she'd be in the same condition as Xia Liu.
"Poof! Come on! Kill me!"
Climbing back up slowly, Xia Liu's mouth was dripping with blood.
The tattered upper garment was stained red.
"You're crazy, aren't you!"
Murong Yan felt a bit awkward, but she didn't apologize or anything.
All of this was forced by Xia Liu.
"Third Miss, don't get angry, let's hear what he has to say first."
Xiaowu tried her best to pull Murong Yan aside.
She is a noble eldest daughter of the Murong Family, when has she ever been scared?
Xia Liu is digging his own grave, courting death.
"Heh heh, it's true, the prettier a woman is, the more vicious she is, this saying is spot on."
Xia Liu chuckled at himself, who knew when he developed such sentiments.
"What happened to you? Why drag women around the world into this?"
Murong Yan could sense that Xia Liu was a pitiful person.
So, she decided to take a step back.
If it wasn't for him scaring her, the previous scene wouldn't have happened.
"I was doing business in Nanyun City, and got cheated by five women in a row. How could I ever trust a woman again!"
The more Xia Liu spoke, the more frantic he became, his expression turning extremely agitated.
"If it weren't for you women, how could I have ended up so down and out?"
"So pitiful..."
Seeing Xia Liu's distraught expression, Xiaowu was moved.
She thought this guy was really unlucky to be cheated by five women.
"Indeed, it's pitiful. But just because of these setbacks, you have suicidal thoughts. Haven't you thought about your family?"
Murong Yan could no longer muster much anger.
She had never been outside, unsure of how miserable Xia Liu truly was, but from his behavior so far, he seemed to be in despair.
"Fallen to this point, what face do I have left to face my parents? If you pity me, please give me a quick death."
Xia Liu slightly raised his head, exposing his white neck, making his intentions clear.
"Ha! Ridiculous, even as a man, you can't handle such failure. Haven't you thought about improving yourself and taking revenge later?"
Murong Yan was at a loss for words, are all people in the mundane world like this?
Wanting to die over any little thing?
"Revenge? Those women vanished after cheating me out of my money. Where could I go for revenge? My business failed as well, and in this life, I'll never rise again. So, why should I stay in the world."
"You're so foolish! There's a saying, 'While the green hills last, there'll be wood to burn.' You're so young, surely you can make a comeback."
Even Xiaowu couldn't watch anymore.
Although just a maid, she understood reasoning.
The thoughts Xia Liu was having, she'd never own in this lifetime.
"I'm tired, I don't want to continue; only death can free me."
"If you want to die, die far away. Jumping into my Crescent Lake, what's the deal?"
Still in a suicidal posture, Murong Yan couldn't be bothered anymore.
"Sorry if my death pollutes this lake, I apologize, I will leave immediately."
Seriously bowing, Xia Liu turned to leave.
"Quick, call me! Stop me from leaving! Pity me!"
Xia Liu murmured to himself as he turned around.
Murong Yan is so beautiful, and her maid has a good temperament too. Please don't leave me to die!
