NOVEL NEXT Chapter 596: Reaching the Peak 5 (4,000 words)_3
Although Fei Hu was injured earlier, because Tan Shuangshuang was engaged in a confrontation with Wu Zhao, the understanding Fei Hu stayed quietly at the side without making a sound. At this moment, being held in Tan Shuangshuang's arms, Fei Hu immediately felt aggrieved and began to hum for comfort from Tan Shuangshuang.
Tan Shuangshuang felt both distressed and angry. This silly furball was easily lured away with a little tasty food, really giving her a headache. She wanted to teach him a lesson, but looking at Fei Hu's aggrieved and cute little furry face, Tan Shuangshuang sighed and couldn't bring herself to do it.
She could only lightly pat Fei Hu's head and gently reprimand him: "Now you feel the pain, but before you were foolishly lured away by a little tasty treat, agreeing to anything. If I hadn't come today, you would have lost your life, you know?"
Fei Hu, possessing high wisdom, fully understood Tan Shuangshuang scolding him. Fei Hu was personally brought out of his mother's womb by Tan Shuangshuang, and the first person he saw when opening his eyes was Tan Shuangshuang. To Fei Hu, Tan Shuangshuang is his mother.
At this moment sensing Tan Shuangshuang might really be angry, Fei Hu immediately tucked his head down and began to flatter Tan Shuangshuang by licking her fur, brushing the back of her hand vigorously with his small tongue full of rough barbs.
With Fei Hu's currying favor, all Tan Shuangshuang's anger dissipated, and upon reaching her residence, she could only apply medicine and bandage Fei Hu's wounds while teaching him not to be so foolish in the future, all the while contemplating the follow-up to today's matter.
Although Wu Zhao is not stupid, he is ultimately a bit immature. He thought Tan Shuangshuang's silence about the matter meant she wasn't going to pursue it further. In reality, Tan Shuangshuang was just setting a trap for him and had never promised anything.
Tan Shuangshuang does not need to do anything; she just needs to exaggerate and spread the word about Wu Zhao's provocation and attempt to harm Fei Hu, hinting that the Wu Family has malicious intentions to eliminate the future Advanced Mutated Magical Beast, Fei Hu.
If the Wu Family doesn't want the Tan Family to make a big fuss over this, they must come forward and suffer losses, meaning that although Wu Zhao has lost 50,000 gold coins, the matter is far from resolved, and the Wu Family still has to bear the cost.
And Wu Zhao, who is currently raising money, doesn't yet know that Tan Shuangshuang's revenge is far more than just bleeding him heavily and taking away the position of Direct Lineage Leader from the Wu Family; there was intent behind allowing Wu Zhao to make three moves under her hand.
The first two attacks were already merciful; otherwise, Wu Zhao couldn't have even handled one move. Tan Shuangshuang's true intention was in the third move, the Cloud-piercing Finger!
Cloud-piercing Finger is an attack technique aimed at acupoints, channeling aggressive spiritual power into the opponent's acupoints through the finger, achieving the purpose of harming or healing.
The human body has numerous acupoints, and each acupoint connected to the internal spiritual power direction of a Martial Artist. Any acupoint suffering an attack could lead to a backlash from the cultivation technique, with consequences ranging from heavy injury to death.
Although Tan Shuangshuang's previous attack seemed to end, she had actually already secretly used the Cloud-piercing Finger to bury aggressive spiritual power into one of Wu Zhao's hidden acupoints during the attack.
This acupoint is extremely hidden, often not reached during the cultivation technique's operation. Yet, it poses a great threat to Martial Artists because once blocked, it poses a risk to the safety of the cultivation technique due to wrong pathways during energy utilization!
When using energy, if the cultivation technique takes a wrong pathway, the consequence could be anywhere from complete cultivation waste to the Qi Sea being shattered by the explosive spiritual power within, meaning Tan Shuangshuang's revenge in this lifetime against Wu Zhao is hardly any lighter than in the last.
And poor Wu Zhao, who collected 50,000 gold coins to deliver to Tan Shuangshuang, was promptly dragged away and scolded by his father, cursing Tan Shuangshuang in his heart without realizing the potential explosive threat hidden within his body.
After dealing with Wu Zhao's matter, Tan Shuangshuang calmed down from the stimulation of her rebirth and began planning the first order of business—to quickly enhance her own abilities.
Before Tan Shuangshuang could decide how exactly to improve her strength, her grandfather Tan Wencheng came looking for her, for the sole reason of handing over the compensation sent by the Wu Family this time, various Spiritual Medicines, and a thousand Spiritual Pearls to Tan Shuangshuang.
Since these items were practically swindled by Tan Shuangshuang's design from the Wu Family, Tan Wencheng discussed with Tan Qianzheng and decided to let Tan Shuangshuang handle all these materials.
The Wu Family really bled heavily this time, sending not only many valuable Spiritual Medicines but, most importantly, a thousand Spiritual Pearls, which can assist in cultivation or be circulated as currency. Normally, a child like Tan Shuangshuang wouldn't possess any Spiritual Pearls at hand.
