Chapter 28: “If Sick, Hurry Up and Cure It!”
She was clearly the one who had given the beating, yet she was displaying such an innocent face. It was as if she was the one being bullied.
There was nothing more infuriating than this!
Bai Ruo Qi could feel another mouthful of blood rising up in her throat, nearly spilling out. Using all her will power, she forcefully swalled it back down. By then her face was both green and purple from anger.
“Aiyo, oh my! Looks like Second Sister cannot hold on for long! Cai Wei, hurry up and support her!”
“Ah? Eh…….yes. Understood Third Young Miss.”
Standing to the side, Cai Wei was watching everything blankly, unable to react anymore. After a good while, did she finally rearrange her thoughts and helped to support Bai Ruo Qi.
But who knew, the moment her hands had just landed on Bai Ruo Qi’s body, did she screech out once again.
“Ah—–!! So painful! Stop you lowly servant. Who allowed your dirty hands to touch me!”
Panic stricken, Cai Wei pulled her hands back to look at her own family’s Young Miss.
Slowly and steadily, Huang Yue Li said: “Second Sister, your current condition really doesn’t look good. I hear that being plagued with demonic energy could also be contagious. Yesterday it was Fourth Younger Sister who suffered it, so it couldn’t be her who you received it from? Cai Wei, hurry and help me treat it!”
“Ah?” Muddled, Cai Wei asked: “Demonic energy? How to treat it? This servant does not know how?”
Huang Yue Li responded: “That is easy. Use all your strength to slap her face!”
“What?”
“What?”
Simultaneously, Cai Wei and Bai Ruo Qi exclaimed.
Biting her teeth, Bai Ruo Qi bellowed out in rage: “Little slut, you dare! You dare make you serving girl slap me?”
Huang Yue Li chuckled: “Second Sister, what are you saying? This younger sister is doing all this for your own good. Falling sick with demonic energy is a very severe illness. What if your sickness worsens and makes you run around naked like Fourth Sister did? Since it is like that, you can’t hold off treatment because you are afraid of losing face. If you are sick, you must hurry and cure it!”
As she was speaking she turned towards Cai Wei.
“What are you waiting for? Do you really want to cause Second Sister to die? Delaying the treatment of the Manor’s Young Miss, you can not afford the consequences right? Hurry up and slap her! And use all your strength! Only then will you be able to expel that demonic spirit from within her body!”
Cai Wei still did not dare to execute her commands.
What type of person Second Young Miss, she and Bai Ruo Li were much too clear. From when they were young to now, she had suffered many beatings from her. When she was recalling how just ruthless her ordinary beatings were, Cai Wei felt her legs soften.
Huang Yue Lid didn’t rush her either, but patiently watched and waited for her.
After hesitating for quite some time, did Cai Wei gingerly raise her hand.
“Pa!”
“Ah—–!”
A slap fell onto Bai Ruo Qi’s face.
Because Cai Wei was very nervous, that slap wasn’t really heavy. Yet Bai Ruo Qi was screaming out like a pig being slaughtered.
Cai Wei looked down at the person she was deathly fearful of. Yet under her hands, she was losing her head over the pain, no longer possessing any of the arrogance or despotism the Manor’s number one genius formerly possessed. From within, she felt refreshed and satisfied.
Momentarily, she forget her previous fears. Raising her hand again, she began a round of slaps.
“Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!”
“Ah—-! You dare—–! How dare you——-! You cheap slave, who you gave you this courage! Bai Ruo Li, you must and will die!”
Bai Ruo Qi was screeching and shrieking at the top of her lungs.
That old serving woman who was knocked to the ground and watching on stupefied.
The reason being Bai Ruo Qi’s personal strength. She was a seventh level Profound Qi practitioner, while Cai Wei was merely a non-cultivating commoner. Even if she were to muster all her strength and energy, no matter what she did it should not even tickle Bai Ruo Qi.
So just why was she screaming out so wretchedly?
Could it be there really was demonic energy within her?
