Chapter 749: Chapter 749: Arrogant and Overbearing, Teaching You a Lesson (3rd Update) Chapter 749: Chapter 749: Arrogant and Overbearing, Teaching You a Lesson (3rd Update) Smack!
The frying pan struck right on the flank of the Three-Eyed Golden Retriever.
After a miserable yelp, the dog was sent flying.
By the time it landed, it was trembling all over and couldn’t get up anymore.
The surrounding cultivators scattered in fear, the timid ones running away and even those with more courage keeping their distance, watching with terrified eyes.
“Little girl, run quickly!” Said the toy vendor, his voice trembling.
“Run? Why should I run?” Xue Xiang held the frying pan, her face full of defiance.
Just then, a commotion stirred in the distance, and a group of people hurried over.
A brocade-clad young girl led the way.
She rushed up to the Three-Eyed Golden Retriever, knelt beside it in a panic, gently stroking its fur, and said tremblingly, “Mao Mao, what’s happened to you, Mao Mao!”
The Three-Eyed Golden Retriever whined a few times, weakly lifted its head to glance at the young girl, then lay back down again.
Seeing this, murderous intent filled the girl’s pretty face as she angrily bellowed word by word, “Who! Did! This!”
No one dared to speak.
At that moment, Xiang Xiang helped Nian Nian to her feet, “Sister, are you alright?”
Nian Nian’s face was a bit pale; she shook her head and said in a low voice, “Sister, I’m fine, just a bit scared.”
Hearing the conversation between the two sisters, the young girl looked up at them, her eyes brimming with anger and resentment.
“Was it you who hit Mao Mao?”
Xue Xiang, holding the frying pan and unafraid, retorted, “Yes, I hit him! Your big dog knocked my sister to the ground and even tried to devour her; not killing it would be letting it off easy!”
Her statement stirred up the crowd.
Some cultivators shook their heads secretly, sighing inwardly, fearing the girls were in big trouble now.
Indeed, the young girl laughed out of extreme anger.
“Ridiculous, my Mao Mao is the gentlest creature ever. You actually claim it knocked you down? You must have provoked it first!”
“You’re talking nonsense. My sister and I were just choosing toys at this stall when your big dog suddenly rushed over,” said Nian Nian, who usually struggled with words. Now agitated, her little face flushed, she couldn’t help but argue back.
The young girl, upon seeing this, became even more incensed, “I don’t care, my Mao Mao would never be in the wrong! You two girls have beaten it to this state, and you must find your parents to apologize to it!”
No sooner had she finished speaking than a cold voice came through.
“Apologize to it? Heh…!”
Following the sound, Xue An slowly walked into the scene.
“Daddy! This big dog bullied Nian Nian!” Xiang Xiang quickly ran over upon seeing him.
Xue An affectionately rubbed her head, smiling, “Xiang Xiang, well done! As an older sister, you should protect your younger sister!”
“Mhmm!” Xue Xiang nodded vigorously.
Xue An then looked at Nian Nian, carefully examining her. After seeing that his second daughter was unharmed, he finally relaxed.
In fact, Xue An witnessed the moment the Three-Eyed Golden Retriever knocked down Nian Nian.
An Yan was horrified and wanted to rush over.
But Xue An wasn’t in a hurry and even stopped An Yan.
He wanted to see how his two daughters would handle the situation.
Of course, he only did this because he knew his daughters were absolutely safe. Had Xue Xiang not taken action, the moment the golden dog’s head moved just half an inch closer, the array of protective wards he placed on his daughters would have activated.
By then, not just the golden beast, but half the street would have been obliterated.
And the scene where Xue Xiang kicked the golden dog and then took out the frying pan to send it flying—Xue An saw all that.
Xue An was very satisfied with this.
He doted on his two little girls, but that didn’t mean he wanted to raise them as flowers in a greenhouse.
Survival and strength in this cruel world required one’s own judgments.
Although his daughters were still young, Xue An had already begun to intentionally cultivate their awareness.
Of course, people’s characters differ.
Even with twins, it was the same.
Xue Nian’s nature was gentle, which Xue An was well aware of and very fond of, so he didn’t demand any changes from her.
Xue Xiang’s character, on the other hand, took after Xue An more, never showing fear or submission in the face of adversity.
This was something Xue An greatly appreciated.
When the owner of the Three-Eyed Golden Retriever appeared, the two little girls were still unafraid, arguing their case.
It wasn’t until the girl demanded an apology with an arrogant face that Xue An slowly stepped forward.
At that moment, the brocade-clad girl stared at Xue An, pointing at Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian, “Are you the father of these two brats?”
Xue An nodded slightly.
“Good, your child has injured my Mao Mao , and now I demand an apology from you, or else…”
Whatever else, the girl did not finish, but the chill in her eyes suggested that it was nothing good.
Xue An, however, smiled, glanced over the fearful expressions of the crowd in the streets, and said lightly, “You’re so arrogant… do your parents know about this? Or should I say… is this beast your parent?”
As soon as these words were uttered, the many cultivators secretly watching all stirred.
Some couldn’t hold back a chuckle, then quickly covered their mouths, fearing the girl would hear them.
Many others sighed in secret.
This girl was a tyrant in Profound Thunder City, and no one dared to provoke her.
Now taunted by Xue An , it was clear that this matter wouldn’t end well.
Sure enough, the girl’s face turned ashen.
Before she could finish, a flash of cold light crossed Xue An’s eyes, and a streak of sword light swept through the air, slicing the Three-Eyed Golden Retriever lying on the ground in two.
The poor beast let out a miserable yelp before being cleaved in half, its blood spreading across the street.
Seeing this, the girl couldn’t believe her eyes.
“You… you actually killed Mao Mao? I’ll fight you to the death!”
The girl roared with rage, and her entourage of guards made to rush forward.
Just then, Xue An suddenly appeared in front of the girl and said coldly, “Since you have no parents to discipline you, today I’ll teach you how to behave!”
With that, Xue An lifted his hand and slapped her across the face.
Taken by surprise, the girl was sent flying and spun several times in the air before crashing to the ground with a thud.
Her originally delicate cheek was now swollen to a ridiculous size.
The entire street gasped in shock.
Some even turned and ran.
Because they knew the situation had escalated, this was no longer just about a dog, and it would surely lead to a loss of life.
The brocade-clad girl sat there dazed, one hand covering half her face, looking bewilderedly at Xue An. It took her several breaths before she reacted, then her scream turned shrill.
“You dare slap me? Kill him! Tear him to pieces and eradicate his soul!”
