As Chinese New Year's Eve approaches, Ye Xiaoying practices her swordplay, still harboring memories of her childhood with Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan arrives, intending to invite her to celebrate with his family. Ye Xiaoying, hurt by his casual invitation and feeling he has forgotten their past and broken a childhood promise, angrily rejects him, leaving Ye Xuan confused by her sudden hostility.

"Whew—"

Ye Xiaoying secretly let out a breath, calming her violently colliding emotions.

She did notice that over the years, Ye Xuan seemed to have become a different person, but the one thing that hadn’t changed was his infuriating nature, still exactly the same as when they were kids!

Infuriating, right?

Well, this old lady is going to take you on today!

With a tug at the corner of her mouth, Ye Xiaoying showed a devilish smile.

Ye Xuan inexplicably felt a bit worried inside.

Ye Xiaoying looked at Ye Xuan with a smiling face: "Playing in the snow, huh? Lighting firecrackers, huh? Brings back childhood memories, right?"

Ye Xuan nodded dumbly: "Yeah, it’s quite nostalgic, don’t you think?"

"That’s good!" Ye Xiaoying squinted her eyes: "I’m in a good mood today, so let’s relive our childhood memories, dare you?"

"What’s stopping me?" Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows with delight: "When I was a kid, I wasn’t well and couldn’t beat you, I’ve repressed this grievance for years. There’s no snow today, but there are firecrackers, I’ll go out and buy some!"

He said, then wanted to head out.

Ye Xiaoying frowned: "Who said I wanted to play with firecrackers?"

Ye Xuan was stunned: "Didn’t you say to relive childhood memories? On such a sunny day, if not firecrackers, are you planning to play in the snow?"

"Only kids play with firecrackers and snow!" Ye Xiaoying beamed: "Now that we’re adults, even if it’s play, we should do something grown-up!"

"Grown-up stuff?" Ye Xuan furrowed his brow in thought for a moment, suddenly shocked: "Damn, Ye Xiaoying, are you trying to sleep with me again?"

Ye Xiaoying: "..."

You... you scoundrel!!

Ye Xiaoying didn’t have time to react.

Ye Xuan was already lost in thought, murmuring: "Although I don’t recommend doing this during the holidays, but if you really want to... for old times’ sake, I can humor you."

Ye Xiaoying’s beautifully large eyes glared in anger!

Ye Xuan closed his eyes with enduring humiliation: "Come on, today my body is yours, shall we do it in this small courtyard or go indoors? It’s your call!"

What generosity? What bravado?

Infuriating Ye Xiaoying.

"I’m gonna slaughter you, you beast!"

Ye Xiaoying finally couldn’t stand it, her sharp sword suddenly unsheathed, carrying almost a determination to kill, straightforward and clean, lunging directly at Ye Xuan.

Danger approaching!

Ye Xuan’s heart was secretly alarmed, his body flickered, hurriedly dodging Ye Xiaoying’s sword filled with killing aura, opening his eyes, completely baffled: "Ye Xiaoying, what are you doing? You really want to kill someone?!"

Ye Xiaoying gritted her teeth, her face full of anger: "Playing in the snow was for kids; today we’ll duel with swords! That’s the adult way to play!"

Before the words even finished, Ye Xiaoying didn’t wait for Ye Xuan to speak again, already advancing with the sword.

The sword sharp, carrying amazing power, slashed towards Ye Xuan’s waist, seemingly fulfilling an old saying.

When a woman goes mad, you wouldn’t recognize your parents!

Even though Ye Xuan was a Qi Gong Master, facing this sword, he dared not be careless, quickly retreating several steps to dodge, then seething with frustration: "I won’t play these fighting games!"

"You have no choice!"

Ye Xiaoying kept advancing, her attack swift and aggressive: "If you don’t want to play, just stand still, and I’ll cut you, you beast!"

"Damn it..."

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but curse.

This is bullying, isn’t it?

But what else could he do?

The deadly sword was coming; besides dodging, what other choice was there?

Ye Xuan dodged again, his face full of helplessness: "Ye Xiaoying, calm down, let’s just say I didn’t say anything, okay? I won’t play with firecrackers either, how about we just have a cup of tea?"

"No way!" Ye Xiaoying attacked again.

Ye Xuan dodged again: "Playing a game is a two-person thing; you can’t force someone like this!"

Ye Xiaoying attacked again: "Doesn’t matter!"

Ye Xuan dodged again: "Fine, then today I’ll duel with you!"

Ye Xiaoying attacked again: "Bring it on!"

Ye Xuan dodged again: "The problem is... you still haven’t given me a sword, how am I supposed to duel you empty-handed?"

Ye Xiaoying attacked again: "I only have one sword!"

Ye Xuan: "Then where’s my sword?"

Ye Xiaoying: "Find a way yourself!"

Ye Xuan: "..."

This is bullying.

This is bullying!!

But what else can he do?

As stubborn as she was, Ye Xiaoying wouldn’t yield, and Ye Xuan could do nothing but comply despite feeling wronged. Fearing he might accidentally hurt Ye Xiaoying, Ye Xuan had no choice but to dodge and let her pursue him.

Thus, Ye Xuan played the role of... a venting target throughout.

Ye Xiaoying’s sword strikes were lethal, as if Ye Xuan was the true culprit for her family’s demise.

Ye Xuan kept retreating until he had nowhere left to go.

The sword was already about to strike.

If Ye Xuan didn’t counterattack, he would inevitably be injured.

Suddenly, his torso shivered, and a surge of energy gas burst forth, but before it formed the impressive defense unique to Qi Gong Masters, Ye Xuan quickly retracted all the energy gas.

Because the bulletproof counterforce from Qi Gong Masters was terrifying.

If Ye Xuan persisted, Ye Xiaoying would undoubtedly be injured.

Better that... I get hurt instead.

Honestly!

Ye Xiaoying was hailed as the greatest genius in Martial Arts just after she was born, not just idle talk.

In fact, this underestimated her Martial Arts talent!

After years of Cold Poison intrusion, once it was expelled, she swiftly transformed into a phoenix. In just about two months, her abilities had already become exceptionally strong.

If they were truly dueling, Ye Xiaoying naturally couldn’t take a single blow from Ye Xuan.

But when Ye Xuan had no intention to harm her, and she was going all out while seemingly crazy, without using Qi Gong Protection, he really couldn’t withstand it.

Thus, it led to the current situation.

Ye Xuan didn’t want to see Ye Xiaoying injured. Despite her inexplicable tantrum today, as the sharp sword approached, Ye Xuan still refrained from using Qi Gong, and since he couldn’t retreat any further, he would no longer step back.

Ye Xuan had already resigned himself to getting injured.

Yet Ye Xiaoying, wielding the sword, also noticed this anomaly.

In the blink of an eye.

"Damn it!"

Ye Xiaoying gritted her teeth and, with all her might, redirected the sword’s edge.

Ye Xuan didn’t want her hurt, and she certainly didn’t want to see Ye Xuan injured.

In a hurry, Ye Xiaoying’s long sword lost control, slicing past half a centimeter from Ye Xuan’s chest, ultimately swinging fiercely back at herself.

This sword was the final move in the Three Sword Styles, extremely powerful, and Ye Xiaoying had only recently mastered it, so she couldn’t perform it with ease.

Ye Xiaoying’s pupils narrowed.

She realized this sword was likely to seriously wound her.

Seeing!

The sword edge, sharp enough to split hairs, was about to strike her jade-like arm.

Boom!

A powerful stream of energy suddenly erupted on the spot, effectively launching Ye Xiaoying’s petite body flying.

Simultaneously, the sword with formidable destructive power shattered inch by inch!

Ye Xiaoying was shocked.

She had never seen such power!

The airborne sensation of weightlessness left Ye Xiaoying’s mind blank, but she knew, at this falling speed, she’d be reduced to a cripple, if not dead.
