Chapter 780: Chapter 779: Directly Slapped into a Pig’s Head! The Law Enforcement Team is Here
"Hiss~"
Jiang Qingyao sucked in a sharp breath, clutching her cheek as she slid down the wall.
A fiery sting burned across her face, more than ten times more painful than the last slap!
But the pain on her face was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.
Humiliation!
Utter, naked humiliation!
Jiang Qingyao had been slapped twice in a row.
Her brain completely shut down, leaving her utterly stunned.
When Gu Yuexi slapped her the first time, she could have argued that the woman didn’t know who she was.
There’s no crime in ignorance; that was barely plausible.
But she had already announced her identity!
The young lady of the Jiang Family, one of the Eight Great Clans of Luoping City!
The daughter of the Jiang Clan Patriarch!
The daughter of a True God Realm expert!
And yet, Gu Yuexi still dared to strike her, and even harder than the last time!
’Does she have any respect for the Jiang Family at all?!’
"Damn you!"
"You damned country bumpkin!"
"I’ll fight you to the death!"
Jiang Qingyao was thoroughly enraged.
She pulled a pink, ribbon-like Magical Treasure from her Storage Pouch and poured her Divine Power into it.
The ribbon instantly elongated, whipping toward Gu Yuexi like a spiritual serpent with a sharp, air-rending sound.
It was a birthday gift from her father.
A Divine Level Middle-Grade Magical Treasure, its power was immense.
Forget about Cultivators of the same Realm.
Even a Cultivator a full Grand Realm higher would find it difficult to resist.
Gu Yuexi ignored the rampaging Jiang Qingyao, her gaze instead falling on the ribbon Magical Treasure in her hand.
’A Divine Level Middle-Grade Magical Treasure.’
’The Mosquito should be able to use it.’
As the thought crossed Gu Yuexi’s mind, her figure flickered, and she reappeared in front of Jiang Qingyao.
The surrounding Space fluctuated slightly.
Jiang Qingyao felt her palm suddenly go empty.
The ribbon Magical Treasure she had been gripping tightly vanished into thin air.
When she looked up again, it was already in Gu Yuexi’s hand.
She hadn’t even processed what had just happened.
"SMACK~"
The third slap landed squarely on her left cheek once again.
This time, Gu Yuexi used even more force.
Jiang Qingyao was sent flying sideways, crashing heavily into the massive floor-to-ceiling window.
With a loud BANG,
The thick glass shattered, sending shards flying everywhere.
Before Jiang Qingyao could even scream, she flew out the window and plummeted from the eighth floor.
"AHHH!!!"
Only then did a piercing shriek finally ring out.
Clearly, Jiang Qingyao’s reaction was, yet again, a beat too slow.
Gu Yuexi stood by the window and glanced down.
She casually tucked the captured ribbon Magical Treasure into her Storage Pouch, her face devoid of expression.
Down below, the bustling street was packed with people at its liveliest hour.
Suddenly hearing a scream from above, passersby all looked up.
They saw a figure in pink flying out of a window on the restaurant’s eighth floor.
It crashed heavily onto the street, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"What’s going on?"
"Did someone jump?"
"Are they that desperate?"
"What are you talking about? We’re all Cultivators. A fall from the eighth floor wouldn’t kill us."
"Unless it’s a child who hasn’t started Cultivation."
"That’s true. So what’s this person doing?"
"Performing a stunt?"
"Some kind of talent show?"
Curious, the crowd gathered around, forming a circle around Jiang Qingyao where she lay on the ground.
They pointed and muttered amongst themselves.
One of the Cultivators took a closer look at Jiang Qingyao’s face, his eyes widening in shock as he cried out.
"She... she... I think that’s the young lady of the Jiang Family!"
"The Jiang Family? Which Jiang Family?"
"Duh! How many Jiang Families are there in Luoping City? The one from the Eight Great Clans, of course!"
"The Jiang Family’s young lady... you don’t mean Jiang Qingyao?"
"I remember her Cultivation being at the Void Refinement Realm, and she has a Divine Level Middle-Grade Magical Treasure. How could she end up in such a sorry state? Her face is swollen like a pig’s head!"
"That’s not the point."
"The point is, who in Luoping City would dare to lay a hand on Jiang Qingyao?"
"Do they have a death wish?!"
The crowd’s chatter grew louder, their gazes filled with curiosity and a thirst for gossip as they stared at Jiang Qingyao.
Jiang Qingyao scrambled up from the ground.
Her left cheek was badly swollen, and covered in dirt, she looked as pathetic as one could possibly be.
Hearing the surrounding chatter, her face burned even hotter with shame.
Her left cheek was swollen from Gu Yuexi’s slaps.
Her right cheek...
...was burning from the shame of the crowd’s whispers.
She had never been so humiliated in her entire life.
Slapped out of a window from an upper floor in front of so many onlookers.
"Gu Yuexi, I’m going to kill you!!!"
Jiang Qingyao screamed through gritted teeth.
She then channeled her Divine Power, preparing to fly back up to Gu Yuexi’s room and fight her to the death.
"Make way! Make way!"
Just then, a dozen or so Cultivators in uniform black outfits flew over the crowd.
They landed around Jiang Qingyao, pushing the onlookers back.
Their leader was a handsome, blue-haired young man whose Cultivation had impressively reached the Integration Realm.
The team members behind him were also at the Divinity Transformation and Void Refinement Realms.
Someone in the crowd immediately recognized him.
"Isn’t that Xiao Feng, one of the captains of the Law Enforcement Team?"
Xiao Feng paid no mind to the crowd’s murmuring.
He stared at the dirt-covered Jiang Qingyao with her badly swollen face and froze for a moment.
"Jiang Qingyao?"
"What happened to you?"
"How did you end up like this?"
When Jiang Qingyao saw Xiao Feng, her eyes instantly lit up.
It was as if she had found her backer; all her previous arrogance vanished.
Her voice became whiny and flirtatious, tinged with tears.
"Xiao Feng, you’re finally here."
"You have to get justice for me!"
She pointed a finger at the window on the restaurant’s eighth floor.
Gu Yuexi was standing there, calmly looking down.
"Xiao Feng, it was that woman! That bitch named Gu Yuexi hit me!"
"Look at how swollen my face is! You have to avenge me!"
Xiao Feng frowned and didn’t answer immediately.
He knew Jiang Qingyao’s temperament all too well.
In all of Luoping City, it was a good day if she wasn’t the one causing trouble for others.
’Who would dare to provoke her?!’
’She most likely went looking for trouble herself and ended up picking on the wrong person.’
But judging by the current situation,
she was clearly the one who had gotten the short end of the stick, and she was hurt badly.
’Could it be...?’
’Is Jiang Qingyao actually the victim this time?’
Xiao Feng was just about to fly up to question Gu Yuexi.
But the restaurant manager had already come scrambling and stumbling out of the building.
Xiao Feng looked at the manager and asked in a low voice,
"This happened in your restaurant."
"Tell me what happened."
"Explain everything from beginning to end. Don’t leave anything out."
The restaurant manager didn’t dare to hide a single detail.
In front of everyone, he recounted the entire incident from start to finish.
From Jiang Qingyao arriving and getting no answer at the door, to her kicking it down and barging in.
...all the way to being slapped out of the room by Gu Yuexi, he explained it all clearly.
After listening, Xiao Feng rolled his eyes dramatically and looked at Jiang Qingyao with an expression of pure exasperation.
"Jiang Qingyao, you were the one who broke into a private residence first. Gu Yuexi was acting in self-defense."
"If she really decided to press charges,"
"not only would you have to pay for the door, but you’d also face punishment from the Law Enforcement Team, and maybe even spend a few days in jail."
Jiang Qingyao flung her hands out and began to act shamelessly, sticking her neck out as she argued.
"Xiao Feng, look at my face! Look what she did to it!"
"I’m the victim here, okay?!"
"It’s one thing not to help me, but how can you side with an outsider!"
"Besides, Gu Yuexi is just some foreign Loose Cultivator."
"We grew up together, and you’re siding with her against me!"
Xiao Feng’s mouth twitched.
For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.
He looked up at Gu Yuexi, his gaze flickering with uncertainty.
