Pei Xuanjing and Lin Yibai staggered. They almost fell headlong from that slap.
Lin Yibai covered her face and pointed at Shen Qing. "Shen Qing! You slut! How dare you hit me!"
Pei Xuanjing was stunned by Shen Qing's sudden attack. Then, he was so shocked by Lin Yibai's word "slut" that he couldn't close his mouth.
He didn't have time to question Shen Qing. He turned to Lin Yibai. "Junior Sister Xiaobai, how could you say such a filthy word?"
Lin Yibai was so angry that she trembled all over. She stammered and didn't know how to explain.
She had just been slapped hard. Anger clouded her mind, so she spoke without thinking.
Now she didn't know how to explain herself.
Pei Xuanjing felt a bit hurt. He thought he had taken good care of his two junior sisters, especially Lin Yibai, whom he favored.
But now it seemed that he had been blind.
"Senior Brother, it was Shen Qing who struck first. Why are you only blaming me?"
Although Lin Yibai was flustered, she came up with a countermeasure in an instant. Since it was Shen Qing who had struck first, she was in the right, both emotionally and rationally.
Pei Xuanjing looked at Shen Qing with a complicated expression. Covering his aching face, he also began to feel a bit annoyed inside. "Junior Sister, what do you mean? I was just being kind..."
"Remember, kindness can sometimes lead to bad results. Moreover, your kindness is just partiality."
"Senior Brother Pei, I just had a shaky hand just now. I apologize to you. Can you forgive me?"
Facing Shen Qing's apology, Pei Xuanjing nodded without even thinking. "Since you've apologized, of course I'll forgive you..."
"Slap!"
Another slap landed on Pei Xuanjing's face.
Before Pei Xuanjing could wipe the surprised look off his face, he heard Shen Qing ask again.
"Senior Brother Pei, I didn't do this on purpose either this time. Can you still forgive me?"
Pei Xuanjing hesitated. Although he really wanted to teach Shen Qing a lesson, in order to get Shen Qing back to Worry - Free Peak, he still nodded. "Don't let it happen again. Of course, Senior Brother will..."
"Slap!"
Before he could finish his words, Shen Qing slapped him on the cheek again.
Three consecutive slaps, with all her strength, immediately made Pei Xuanjing's fair cheek swell and turn red.
Pei Xuanjing couldn't bear it anymore. Anger appeared on his face.
But before Pei Xuanjing could question Shen Qing, Shen Qing said again.
"Senior Brother Pei, I didn't do any of these three times on purpose. Can you still forgive me?"
Shen Qing looked at him with an innocent blink. Pei Xuanjing couldn't figure out what Shen Qing's purpose was.
"Junior Sister, as your senior brother, of course I'll still forgive you..."
"Slap!"
Another slap.
This time Pei Xuanjing couldn't bear it anymore. He directly struck back at Shen Qing.
But Shen Qing used his strength against him and skillfully dodged the blow.
Shen Qing raised her chin and put away her innocent expression. "What? I've only slapped you four times, and you're already getting angry. I'll ask you one more time. Can you still forgive me?"
This time Pei Xuanjing didn't dare to say he would forgive.
Who could remain calm and magnanimously forgive someone after being slapped four times in a row?
Pei Xuanjing had a complicated expression. He seemed to understand what Shen Qing was trying to convey.
Shen Qing walked up to Lin Yibai and looked down at her.
Originally, they were about the same height. But in order to look pitiful, Lin Yibai deliberately hunched her back, making her seem an inch shorter than Shen Qing.
"Junior Sister Shen, please don't hit me anymore. I'm so scared..."
"Slap!"
"Slap!"
"Slap!"
...
Shen Qing raised her hand and slapped Lin Yibai six times on the face.
As she slapped, Shen Qing murmured.
"Oh, Senior Sister Lin, your junior sister didn't do it on purpose. Please forgive me..."
"Sorry, I didn't control my strength. It was all a misunderstanding."
It wasn't until the seventh slap was about to land on Lin Yibai's face that Lin Yibai finally couldn't bear it and pushed Shen Qing away.
"Aaaah!"
"Shen Qing! I'm going to kill you!"
In her anger, a wisp of the demonic energy on Lin Yibai that hadn't completely dissipated leaked out.
Her black pupils instantly turned blood - red, and even the aura around her became gloomy.
Pei Xuanjing was still wondering whether he should step forward to stop them when he unexpectedly saw the real demonic energy coming from Lin Yibai.
"Junior Sister Xiaobai... You're really a demonic cultivator?"
Pei Xuanjing's pupils suddenly dilated. An expression of disbelief flashed across his face. He stared at Lin Yibai without blinking, as if trying to confirm that he wasn't seeing things.
Shen Qing shook her slightly numb hand and sneered. "This is the only pure jasmine flower on Nianbai Peak. It's a pity it's stained black."
Lin Yibai's demonic energy leakage was seen by Pei Xuanjing, and she completely broke down.
She rushed forward recklessly, stretching out her sharp claws to grab at Shen Qing.
Li Xian instantly sensed the thick demonic energy on Lin Yibai's claws. If Shen Qing was scratched by her, the demonic energy would immediately seep into her body.
So before Lin Yibai could get close, Li Xian gave her a flying kick and kicked her out.
After being kicked out by Li Xian, the little bit of demonic energy on Lin Yibai immediately began to repair the tiny wounds on her body.
Pei Xuanjing saw this clearly. His breakdown was no less than when he had seen his parents being killed by demonic cultivators with his own eyes.
"Shen Qing, tell me. Did you do all this..."
A trembling voice came from behind. Shen Qing turned around and saw Shen Chuyun, tightly tied up by Hong Chaoyang.
After Fang Yinnian brought the cultivators to support them, the little Golden - Core cultivators heaved a sigh of relief. Shen Chuyun immediately went to look for Lin Yibai.
But on the way, he met Hong Chaoyang and Qi Nian. Hong Chaoyang had already seen Shen Qing flying on her sword in the air to fight the demonic beasts.
Worried that Shen Chuyun might do something bad to Shen Qing behind her back, Hong Chaoyang immediately asked Qi Nian to take out the Immortal - Binding Rope given to her by Elder Feiyun and tied Shen Chuyun up tightly.
They killed the demonic beasts as they made their way towards the mutated demonic beast.
When they arrived, they just saw Shen Qing punching He Yu hard.
Originally, seeing this, Shen Chuyun was so excited that he wanted to step forward to help He Yu deal with Shen Qing.
But later, he heard what Shen Qing said, and his steps froze in place. He didn't dare to move forward.
Hong Chaoyang and Qi Nian glanced at each other. Seeing Li Xian standing beside Shen Qing, they knew that Shen Qing didn't need their help.
So they stayed not far away, like spectators. They killed the demonic beasts while covering for them, so that no one else would notice the little commotion here.
It wasn't until they all saw the obvious demonic energy on Lin Yibai. While Hong Chaoyang and Qi Nian were shocked, Shen Chuyun broke free from their restraint and ran directly behind Shen Qing.
Shen Qing turned around and saw Shen Chuyun with red - eyed disbelief.
"What? My good little brother, do you still want to frame your own sister even now?"
