Star Odyssey

Chapter 1913: Slaps

Qing Yu cackled wildly, "In Skyraiser City, I have the final say! Your Azure Mansion can forget about leaving before every single man in Skyraiser City has been served and satisfied, hahahaha!"

Madam Qing Yun's face grew pale. This situation had already gotten out of control. She had unexpectedly run into a madman!

Xi Shuang's expression was also not good. No matter what, she was still a woman, and being around disgusting men like this sickened her. She could not stop herself from stepping forward. "Shut up! Men like you should be damned! You’re all beasts!"

Qing Yu swayed on his feet as he turned to stare at Xi Shuang with big eyes. He suddenly started to tease her, "Woah, a tranny! I’m going to strip you as well and have you take care of me along with Luo Mei."

He suddenly started charging at Xi Shuang.

The young woman was shocked, and her guardians all shot forward. "Qing Yu, she is the granddaughter of Xi Gu, the Expeditionary Forces’ general! You’re going too far!"

Qing Yu sneered as several people had already stepped forward to stop the men with Xi Shuang. "Xi Gu? Never heard of him! We’re in Azure Mansion right now! How many girls are here? I want a count! I’m going to strip them all and let all of you brothers see a treat!"

"Okay, thank you, Young Master Qing."

"Thank you, Young Master Qing."

Qian Zou raged, "He’s an animal! Seventh Bro, this Qing Yu is really trash!"

Despite his words, Qian Zou’s eyes were sparkling. He thought that he was about to see a rather exciting turn of events.

Lu Yin’s eyes had grown cold, and a dangerous light flickered in them. Azure Mansion belonged to him!

Suddenly, a distant voice shouted, "Qing Yu, how dare you act like this despite your talent?"

The voice was thin, clear, and it obviously belonged to a woman, but to Qing Yu's ears, it sounded a death knell.

His entire body trembled, and all the blood drained from his face. "Xiao- Xiao Hong?"

Space distorted and a woman stepped out. She coldly glared at Qing Yu. "As soon as Azure Mansion arrived, I knew that you would come here! I even went home to warn you, but I didn’t expect you to remain so stubborn! I heard everything that you just said! Are the women here enough for you? Do you want me to go grab the other girls from the other brothels for you to play with?"

Qing Yu was panicking. The smell of alcohol evaporated from him as his face twitched. "Xiao- Xiao Hong, I'm drunk! I'm just drunk."

Yao Hong sneered. "I'll settle things with you after we get home!"

She then glanced around the courtyard. Eventually, her eyes settled onto Luo Mei. "You really are quite beautiful. No wonder you cause men to get so excited. I wonder what it would feel like to ruin such a beautiful face…"

A flower suddenly appeared in Yao Hong’s hands.

Actually, it merely looked like a flower, but it was an extremely sharp blade. Yao Hong slowly spun the flower-blade around, and the edge sliced through the void.

Many people present were horrified by this, especially the women from Azure Mansion. This was not because of the strength Yao Hong had demonstrated, but rather because of the words she had spoken.

Qing Yun quickly stepped forward and respectfully said, "Young Mistress, please take the young master back. He is drunk."

Yao Hong shot Qing Yun a cold glare. "He is drunk, but he was right about one thing: you’re all just a bunch of sluts pretending to be refined while dancing around in a brothel."

Anger flashed across Qing Yun's face, but she suppressed her rage. "Please take the young master back."

A smile crept across Yao Hong's face, and a dangerous light ignited in her eyes. She lifted a hand and pointed at Luo Mei. "Come here."

Luo Mei's heart dropped. She gazed at Yao Hong with nervousness and fear, particularly wary of the flower in the young woman’s hand.

Qing Yun stared at Yao Hong. "What does Young Mistress wish to do?"

Yao Hong smiled. "It's a pity for such a beautiful face to be cheapened as a display piece for those men. I want to change her appearance to see if any of them will still like it afterwards."

These words instantly terrified Luo Mei.

Qing Yun's pupils shrank, but her eyes never left Yao Hong. "Young Mistress, my Azure Mansion has built up many relationships over the years, so even if we have been a bit weakened, you still need to give us a bit of face."

Yao Hong was unconcerned. "You’re just a bunch of sluts who spend your time seducing men. Give you some face? Do you really think that you deserve that? When Bu Laoweng still wielded power, you could command some measure of respect, but who will show you any now? Do you really think that those sluts you sold off to be married think well of you? Not only am I going to alter her face, but I’m also going to fulfill my husband's wish. I’m going to strip all of you and have you serve all of the men in Skyraiser City. Let’s see who will show you any face after that!"

Qing Yun and the other women were both enraged and scared. There were Enlighters in Azure Mansion who acted as protectors for the women, but how could they stand up to the power of Skyraiser City?

These people were mad! Qing Yu was insane, but this woman was even crazier.

"Get over here!" Yao Hong ordered as she stared at Luo Mei. She was determined to humiliate both Luo Mei and Azure Mansion.

Xi Shuang frowned. This woman was absolutely insane, but Xi Shuang was incapable of stopping her.

Many of the nearby men who were guests of Azure Mansion started getting excited. These flowers were about to be plucked.

"All these women in Azure Mansion are nothing more than sluts. From now on, the rules of Azure Mansion need to be changed." A smile appeared on Yao Hong's cold face. She had held a grudge against Azure Mansion for a long time.

Qing Yu's eyes had regained their clarity, and he was staring straight at Luo Mei. If he could not have her, then it was better to destroy her so that she no longer had any value. "Xiao Hong, let me cut her face to vent your anger for you."

Yao Hong glanced over. "Have you sobered up?"

"I'm awake, but I don't know how I got here." He plastered a flattering smile on his face as he spoke. "Xiao Hong, I’ll cut her face for you if it will make you happy."

He then immediately turned to glare at Luo Mei. "Bitch, you certainly know how to seduce a man! Get over here!"

Qing Yun’s entire body was trembling. This couple was completely shameless!

Yao Hong decided to accept this option. She arrogantly lifted her head and handed the flower-like blade to Qing Yu. "I'll be watching you, but I don’t want to get my hands dirty."

Qing Yu began to cheer up. "Don't worry about it."

Luo Mei lost all hope. She had never imagined that one of Azure Mansion’s famed Flower Queens would one day be reduced to such a state.

There was no one who could stop Qing Yu or Yao Hong, as they were in Skyraiser City.

Luo Mei was terrified, but she had no choice other than to walk towards Qing Yu, step by step. If she did not go to him, all of Azure Mansion would be met with disaster.

Qing Yu licked his lips as he thought, You bitch! It’s too bad that you didn’t listen earlier, as it would have been better to cut you up after playing with you. Well, if I can’t have you, no one else can either!

Luo Mei stopped less than three meters in front of Qing Yu and Yao Hong.

Qing Yu frowned and his eyes turned dark. "Bitch, I told you to come here! Didn't you hear me?"

Luo Mei let out a long breath and looked behind herself. "Madam, Azure Mansion has suffered a catastrophe this day, but I would rather die than suffer such insults."

She then raised a hand to slap herself in the forehead.

Yao Hong's pupils transformed into runes as she stared at Luo Mei's hand, weakening the force of the attack. Luo Mei’s palm struck her head, but there was no force in it, which left her confused.

Yao Hong sneered. "You want to die? You can forget that option with me here! I’ll give you a life worse than death."

Qing Yu suddenly moved for Luo Mei. "I’m going to disfigure you!"

Right when he was about to touch Luo Mei, a light slapping noise rang out. It seemed like Qing Yu had been slapped, as he was suddenly tumbling through the air. He crashed onto the ground.

No one had seen what had just happened.

Yao Hong stared as Qing Yu fell to the ground, and her expression completely changed. She ran over to pick him up, and when she turned him over, she saw a handprint on his face. Nearly half of his head had been crushed, and there was not a single tooth left in his mouth. Still, he had not lost consciousness and had merely been dazed.

Yao Hong was furious, and she whirled around to glare at Qing Yun and the other women from Azure Mansion. "Who was that? Show yourself!"

Slap!

There was another sound, but this time, Yao Hong was struck. However, this blow was much more gentle, and she was merely forced to kneel onto the ground. Half of her face swelled up as well, and she also did not faint.

Qing Yu regained his senses, and he rose to his feet, muttering, "Who is it?"

Slap!

There was another impact, and Qing Yu was slapped on the other side of the face. He wobbled on his feet and nearly collapsed.

Yao Hong was holding the half of her face that had been struck. She was about to lose her mind from the overwhelming rage. "Who the hell is it? Show yourself, if you have the balls!"

Slap!

Slap!

Slap!

…

Dozens of slaps were heard, though each sound was quite gentle. Each one struck Qing Yu and Yao Hong's faces, and they dropped to their knees in embarrassment.

Qing Yu was beaten until he was overcome with fear. The people who protected them couldn't move at all.

Yao Hong's eyes were merely slits by now, and she was utterly terrified. She and Qing Yu were being beaten like this in Skyraiser City, and yet City Master Qing had done nothing at all. The only explanation was that the city master was ignorant of what was happening. Someone had sealed off Azure Mansion.

Who was it? Could it be some powerhouse who was supporting Azure Mansion? It was said that Bu Laoweng had abandoned Azure Mansion. Was there still someone else supporting it?

Xi Shuang was similarly puzzled. She looked around. There was a true powerhouse present.

Qing Yun’s breath was ragged. She had no idea who had attacked the young couple. Who was protecting them?

Yao Hong had been absolutely correct with her comments. Ever since Bu Laoweng had been suppressed by Lu Yin, the lives of the women who had been married off by Azure Mansion had become difficult. At Azure Mansion’s peak, any woman who was married off was seen as a marriage to Azure Mansion as well. So, anyone who tried to move against Azure Mansion would be offending a power supported by countless people. Unfortunately, everything was built off of the basis of Bu Laoweng’s power and influence. With that gone, was there anyone left to support Azure Mansion?

In the crowd of onlookers, Qian Zou blinked. "Seventh Bro, was that you?"

Naturally, Lu Yin was the person who had slapped the couple. Insulting Azure Mansion was almost the same as insulting Ming Yan, who ran it.

"Is your Azure Mansion declaring war on Skyraiser City and my Gods’ Origin?" Yao Hong screamed.

Qing Yun's face grew pale. Skyraiser City was not a big deal, but Gods' Origin was an absolute monster. Even in Azure Mansion’s heyday, Bu Laoweng had never dared offend Gods' Origin, and Yao Hong came from that place.

Slap!

Another slap struck Yao Hong's face.

This slap drew City Master Qing’s attention, as Lu Yin had stopped isolating Azure Mansion; he wanted City Master Qing to learn of what had happened.

City Master Qing heard the slap from within the city master’s estate. He froze for a moment and then entered the true universe. He raced over to Azure Mansion and saw Yao Hong and Qing Yu’s pathetic state as soon as he arrived. A single twitch of the man’s finger caused an overbearing pressure to descend upon all of Skyraiser City.

Everyone inside of Azure Mansion was suppressed, and they found it difficult to even breathe.

The sky above Skyraiser City changed.

Everyone turned to look towards Azure Mansion when they felt the pressure and saw space change above the city. Space started twisting and warping around the city, and spacecraft even exploded.

"Father! Father!” Qing Yu wailed.

Yao Hong’s eyes darted about wildly. "Who is it? Father, find that man! Skin him alive! I’m going to torture him to death!"

City Master Qing frowned. He had just examined the entire area, but he had not sensed the person who had attacked his son. That should be impossible. Any Enlighter would leave behind traces that City Master Qing would be able to sense. As for an Envoy, that was impossible. How could there be an Envoy secretly protecting Azure Mansion? City Master Qing spoke up, “Who just attacked these juniors? Come out and show yourself!"

He was completely ignored.

City Master Qing’s eyes narrowed. "You’re shameless enough to attack two children, but too embarrassed to show yourself?"

Yao Hong glanced around, resentment filling her eyes. Suddenly, they locked onto Luo Mei and grew wide. Yao Hong frantically screamed, "It's that woman! Qing Yu was just about to cut her face when we were both suddenly beaten! Someone’s protecting that woman!"

Yao Hong was assuming that their attacker was too scared to show themselves with City Master Qing present. After all, he was an Envoy.

How many Envoys were there even in the Neoverse? How could one of those rare powerhouses be secretly protecting Azure Mansion?
