Hearing Ye Fan's words, everyone's gaze inevitably turned toward him in unison.
"Are you really going to slap her a few times?"
If that were the case, their Your Highness would surely go mad.
Even Xian'er couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.
Some things can be lightly punished as a warning; doing it once is fine.
But if it happens again, then there are no boundaries left.
A cornered dog will jump over the wall. This is the Azure Wave Celestial Kingdom, and if he really went to slap Qing Jiu Zhen a few times...
It would likely lead to serious consequences.
Of course, she also knew that Ye Fan was just speaking casually.
He didn't genuinely mean for her to go slap Qing Jiu Zhen.
However, Wuma Xian'er still smiled and said, "If you want to go, I'll back you up."
"Me?"
Ye Fan shook his head in disbelief. "As a man of stature, how could I hit a woman? Let's forget about it!"
Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, Xudong and the Azure Dragon Guard finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Even Qing Jiu Zhen and Ji Yingzheng felt the same way.
They were genuinely afraid that Ye Fan would come up without hesitation and slap Qing Jiu Zhen a few times.
Wuma Xian'er couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle, looking at Ye Fan and saying, "You’re a seven-foot man? Do you even measure up to that?"
Mo Pu glanced at Ye Fan, his face also filled with amusement; this kid was quite interesting.
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes, giving Wuma Xian'er a speechless glare.
Hitting where it hurts...
Ji Yingzheng was deep in thought, rapidly considering countermeasures.
Now, the people from the Southern Wilderness Wuma Clan had actually stepped in to protect this kid, Ye Fan.
It was clear that any plans to act against him were out of the question.
Moreover, based on Ji Yingzheng's judgment, Wuma Xian'er's strength was certainly above his own.
Just the Wuma Clan's ultimate technique, the Demon-Slaying Divine Finger, was already giving him a headache.
"Ha..."
Ji Yingzheng let out a long sigh of frustration, glancing once more at Qing Jiu Zhen, then his tone softened considerably as he transmitted his voice: " Qing Jiu Zhen, you have no idea how terrifying the Southern Wilderness Wuma Clan is. It seems that today we definitely cannot take this kid from the Ye Family."
"Let's put this matter aside for now. As for her hitting you, we need to consider it carefully and not act rashly, or we might end up suffering."
Upon hearing Ji Yingzheng's transmission, Qing Jiu Zhen could no longer be oblivious; Ji Yingzheng was clearly realizing that he couldn't defeat the opponent and was contemplating retreat.
However, there was nothing they could do; the opponent's cultivation was simply too strong.
If Ji Yingzheng at the Initial Stage of God Slaying was already unable to contend, what could she possibly do?
Thus, she directly transmitted back, "Qing Jiu Zhen understands. I will follow Uncle Ji's lead."
Ji Yingzheng nodded, saying nothing more. If he had spoken like this earlier, how could he have been slapped twice?
After calming Qing Jiu Zhen down, Ji Yingzheng's gaze shifted slightly to Ye Fan.
With a hint of authority in his tone, he said, "Kid, you're fortunate to have someone from the Southern Wilderness Wuma Clan protecting you."
"That is true," Ye Fan replied, meeting Ji Yingzheng's gaze without denial.
Ji Yingzheng then turned his attention from Ye Fan to Wuma Xian'er, cupping his fists as he said, "Miss Xian'er, though young, your cultivation is truly impressive. I admire it greatly."
Wuma Xian'er looked at Ji Yingzheng with a smile that seemed to hold a hint of amusement, waiting for him to continue.
Seeing that she merely smiled and did not respond to him, Ji Yingzheng felt no anger; after all, who could blame her when her strength surpassed his?
Ji Yingzheng continued, "However, this matter will not end here. Once I return to the Western Capital Shengjing, I will certainly report this to the Great Emperor. What the Emperor decides to do then is beyond my control."
"Are you done?" Wuma Xian'er asked with a smile.
"I am done," Ji Yingzheng replied, his expression becoming serious as he nodded.
"Good, since you are done, let me say something as well!" Wuma Xian'er extended her delicate hand and slowly pointed towards the Ye Family's location, still smiling as she spoke. "Tell the Azure Wave Emperor that no matter what he intends to do—whether he wants the Ascension Token or seeks revenge for those two slaps on his daughter."
"The one who slapped his daughter is me, Wuma Xian'er. So if he wants revenge, he can come find me."
"As for the Ascension Token, while it may indeed be in this brat's possession, he is now under my protection. Therefore, if you want the Ascension Token, you must come to me and not involve the innocent."
"Remember, since he is under my protection, his family must not be touched. Otherwise, the Southern Wilderness Wuma Clan will not let it go easily."
As she finished her statement, Wuma Xian'er's gaze shifted from Ji Yingzheng to Qing Jiu Zhen. In her captivating eyes, a chilling light flickered ominously.
Qing Jiu Zhen's complexion instantly turned pale, her body trembling uncontrollably.
With her cultivation level, how could she withstand Wuma Xian'er's overwhelming presence?
Seeing this, Ji Yingzheng immediately unleashed his own aura and stepped in front of Qing Jiu Zhen.
He blocked Wuma Xianer's imposing force and cupped his fists with a grim expression. "Miss Xian'er, rest assured that I will convey your words to the Emperor without missing a single detail."
"That's for the best."
Wuma Xian'er smiled and withdrew her gaze, appearing quite casual.
"Let's go."
Ji Yingzheng said no more, directly issuing a command to the Azure Dragon Guard, then leading Qing Jiu Zhen as they tore through the air and departed first.
"Move out."
Xudong echoed, taking all the Azure Dragon Guard with him as they vanished in an instant.
As for the powerful figures from the Heavenly Heart Sect, Sky Edge Pavilion, and White Jade Dragon Palace who had been subdued earlier, they were ignored.
"Maybe... it's better to let it go!"
After Ji Yingzheng and the others left, Ye Fan initially intended to thank Wuma Xian'er. After all, her earlier words had been aimed at him, which had intimidated Ji Yingzheng and Qing Jiu Zhen.
However, recalling that Wuma Xian'er had already thanked her twice before, he hesitated. If he added this time, it would be the third.
Ye Fan simply shook his head and chose not to speak further.
Wuma Xian'er, however, paid no mind to him; her attention was focused on the void behind them.
Unable to suppress her amusement, she glanced at Ye Fan and teased, "You little brat, you may not be big, but your ability to attract hatred is quite impressive. It's like one wave hasn't settled before another rises!"
Hearing this, Ye Fan's gaze also turned towards the direction behind them.
A series of terrifying auras were rapidly approaching.
"It's Wen Tian Jun from the Heavenly Heart Sect, along with Yu Qingfeng and Nangong Xuandie from Sky Edge Pavilion, and the White Jade Dragon Sovereign from the White Jade Dragon Palace," Wuma Xian'er said as her spiritual sense swept over them. She ignored the others entirely.
Ye Fan nodded slightly, sensing their presence as well.
What puzzled Ye Fan was that while the killing intent radiating from Wen Tian Jun and his companions from the Heavenly Heart Sect was expected, even Yu Qingfeng from Sky Edge Pavilion was exuding a murderous aura.
It was as if they were ready to devour someone!
