Chapter Thirty-Nine: This woman's combat prowess is off the charts!
Page 1 of 3
Feng Ji’s words left Fusu stunned.
What the hell?
He had mistaken him for a servant.
All at once, Fusu recalled a story he had read in his previous life.
It was about a wealthy man who attended a banquet in an expensive suit. Everyone greeted him with smiles and treated him with great respect.
But once, he attended a banquet wearing cheap casual clothes, and even the guards at the entrance refused to let him in!
The same man, the same place, and the same guards.
Yet simply because his clothes were different, the outcome was completely different.
Fusu realized that he was dressed rather shabbily today, which had led Feng Ji to mistake him for a mere servant.
“Master Feng Ji, watch your tone!” Bai Shaoqing warned him after finishing the headcount.
“Watch my tone?” Feng Ji suddenly laughed.
Pointing at Bai Shao’s nose, he cursed, “Do you know who I am in Xianyang?”
Bai Shao’s face turned livid. He wanted to slap Feng Ji.
But he did not dare. Feng Ji’s background was far too powerful. He was no ordinary Imperial Guard commander whom Bai Shao could simply lay hands on.
Knowing Bai Shao would not dare retaliate, Feng Ji reached out and patted his cheek.
“I am one of the Three Young Lords of Xianyang!”
“You didn’t even bother to find out who I am, yet you dared to stop me here!”
Feng Ji appeared to be striking Bai Shao, but in truth, he was slapping the faces of Fusu and Wang Ruonan.
He was using his power to bully them.
Smack, smack, smack!
Bai Shao’s face throbbed with pain, but he did not retreat an inch. He simply stood in front of the others.
That was his duty as a guard.
Wang Ruonan was so furious that she gnashed her teeth. She had heard of the Three Young Lords of Xianyang.
They were Li Zhan, son of Left Chancellor Li Si; Feng Ji, son of Imperial Censor Feng Jie;
and…
Her own younger brother, Wang Li!
Hmph.
Once she returned home, she would beat Wang Li black and blue.
Wang Ruonan forcibly restrained her urge to slap Feng Ji and silently repeated to herself, Grandmother said not to act rashly. Stay calm. Be a quiet and graceful young lady!
Smack!
A crisp sound rang out.
Fusu could no longer endure it.
He raised his hand and slapped Feng Ji across the face, shouting, “Are you fucking blind?”
“How dare you show off in front of me!”
“So you’re one of the Three Young Lords of Xianyang, are you?”
“Today, I’m beating you senseless!”
“What are you going to do about it?”
The slap sent Feng Ji staggering, a bewildered expression spreading across his face.
From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever dared hit him like this.
Feng Ji exploded. He shrieked, “Guards! Guards! Get in here and—”
Smack, smack, smack!

Fusu showed no mercy as he slapped him again and again, even following up with fists and kicks.
This continued despite the fact that Fusu now knew Feng Ji’s identity and understood how beneficial it would be to win Feng Jie over to his side in the future.
But he simply could not endure it!
He knew what he was doing was wrong, yet he chose to do it anyway.
For no other reason than this:
Feng Ji had humiliated him in front of his fiancée. Fusu had to reclaim his dignity!
He could not possibly let a woman stand up for him, could he?
A real man had to step forward at a moment like this!
At once, seven or eight household servants rushed out from outside and surrounded Fusu and the others.
Seeing this, Bai Shao suddenly drew the long saber from his waist.
At the same time, Zhao Cheng hurriedly tugged at Feng Ji’s sleeve.
“Master Feng, forget it. It isn’t worth making such a fuss over something so minor.”
“Let’s just endure it and be done with it!”
His words might have helped had he not spoken them. Instead, they only made Feng Ji feel even more humiliated.
Especially with the burning pain across his face, Feng Ji completely lost his reason.
He roared, “Guards! Everyone, get in here! Beat these people to death!”
“Oh, and don’t hurt the beauty!”
Even at a moment like this, he still remembered to issue that warning.
More than a dozen men surged in from outside, each carrying a cudgel as they glared viciously at Fusu and the others.
Watching this scene, Zhao Cheng could barely restrain himself from applauding.
Oh, Feng Ji, Feng Ji!
This time, you really have kicked an iron plate!
Normally, you could be arrogant and domineering, even oppressing the common people as much as you pleased.
But now you dared to act so brazenly in front of His Highness Fusu and the granddaughter of the Marquis of Wucheng. Even your father would be unable to protect you!
Just as the atmosphere grew tense and the conflict was about to erupt, Wang Ruonan finally reached the limit of her patience.
She struck a nearby wooden pillar with one palm.
Crack!
The pillar, as thick as a man’s arm, split at once.
Every household servant and Imperial Guard present froze in shock, staring at it in disbelief.
Feng Ji shuddered in fright.
At that moment, as Wang Ruonan unleashed her strength, her beautiful hair began to flutter despite the lack of wind. By sheer coincidence, the veil covering her face slipped to the ground.
The instant Feng Ji saw that exquisite and familiar face, his complexion turned deathly pale.
The next second, his trousers tightened.
Then they grew wet…
The following moment—
Thump!
Feng Ji dropped to his knees, terror written across his face.
“Wang Ruonan!”
“No!”
“Big Sister Ruonan!”

“I was wrong! I truly didn’t know it was you…”
“I…”
Feng Ji was genuinely terrified.
If the Three Young Lords of Xianyang were notorious for their wickedness and depravity, then the One Heroine of Xianyang was famous for punishing evil, upholding justice, and defending the helpless.
And Wang Ruonan was that very heroine!
Others might not know, but Feng Ji certainly did.
Wang Li was his sworn brother, and he knew everything about Wang Li’s elder sister.
Back then, Feng Ji had even considered asking for her hand in marriage. But ever since Wang Li told him that Wang Ruonan was the One Heroine of Xianyang, Feng Ji had begun taking a wide detour around the Wang residence whenever he went out.
Before committing any misdeed, he would even drag Wang Li along to make sure his sister was home and had not gone out. Only then would he dare to act.
For so many years, he had been careful and had avoided disaster.
So how had he managed to run straight into the muzzle today?
Sweat broke out across Feng Ji’s forehead.
Who would dare provoke a heroine?
What if she chopped you down with a single stroke in the middle of the night? Whom could you possibly appeal to afterward?
“Get lost!” Wang Ruonan shouted furiously, her face flushed with anger as she pointed toward the door.
Feng Ji felt as though he had just been granted a new lease on life. He scrambled to his feet and fled at once.
Zhao Cheng knew that the Wang family’s daughter was not someone to provoke, but he had never imagined Feng Ji would be so terrified of her.
He hurried after him as well.
Fusu had already rolled up his sleeves and prepared for a fight. He had never expected that one slap from his own fiancée would make Feng Ji surrender immediately.
Fusu took a deep look at Wang Ruonan.
This woman’s combat strength was absurdly high!
What would happen if they ever got into an argument in the future?
Qian Gou was completely dumbfounded by the scene.
The Three Young Lords of Xianyang, Feng Ji, had actually been frightened away?
He could not help taking several more glances at Wang Ruonan before hurrying over.
“Honored guests, if you still want these slaves… I can give you a twenty-percent discount!”
Fusu’s eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded.
“We’ll take them all!”
Qian Gou quickly began making arrangements.
His employer had said that, aside from Feng Ji, he could sell them for half price if necessary.
Being able to sell them at an eighty-percent price was already an excellent outcome.
Ding!
“Congratulations, Host. You have successfully purchased this group of slaves from Baiyue. You have been rewarded with a complete Special Forces Training Manual!”
Fusu immediately saw an additional book appear in the warehouse of his spatial storage.
He hurriedly flipped through it.
The more he read, the more astonished he became.
Physical conditioning, skill training, tactical training…
The descriptions were incredibly detailed!
