Even hybrid monsters have their day

On the screen, a handsome young man is gently embracing a beautiful young woman with a slightly childlike face. The man's eyes are filled with anger as he looks at the man next to the woman.

This isn't some soap opera; it's something that just happened to Geng Miaowan in the lobby.

The figures on the screen were still moving. After Geng Miaowan stood still, Xu Ruwen let go of her hand. He seemed to want to argue with the man who tripped him, but Geng Miaowan stopped him and said, "Don't lower yourself to the level of this kind of person."

"Clatter," was the sound of a cup being slammed onto a table made of a special material with a translucency even better than glass. "How could such a coward accomplish such a great thing!"

The voice was old and deep, and just by listening to it, one could tell that the person's cultivation was not low. Everyone turned their attention to the speaker.

“Emperor Song is right. How could the ancient gods choose such a cowardly and timid person to complete this task? In other words, even if she were to go, with her limited cultivation level, could she possibly complete the task?” King Pingdeng Luo Erhao’s gaze swept over everyone, then met the eyes of Emperor Song Pei Ran, who had spoken earlier, before he leaned back in his chair.

“I don’t think cultivation level is the problem. Did you see the aura emanating from her? That kind of power should indicate she’s reached the Light Opening stage. What was her cultivation level when she went on the mission?” Urban King Zhan Xisheng seemed to have forgotten, asking Feng Xuanyi, who had been coldly staring at the screen without saying a word.

Without even raising an eyebrow, he said, "Foundation Building."

Zhan Xisheng suddenly realized and said, "Oh, right, it's Foundation Establishment. It's only been a short time, and she's already advanced a level. If she continues to develop at this speed, her cultivation will soon surpass all of us here."

His words caused everyone present to change their expressions, and they turned their gazes to the person who was smiling innocently and saying that they wouldn't stoop to the level of such a person.

The moment she finished speaking, everyone in the hall looked at her with disdain. Although some people disapproved of Qi Liuhai's low-class behavior, they found Geng Miaowan's behavior of enduring being bullied in front of them even more shameful.

Geng Miaowan seemed oblivious to the sudden change in the atmosphere in the hall, and calmly said, "If a dog bites us, we can't bite it back, can we?"

"Geng Miaowan, what do you mean by that?" Qi Liuhai felt insulted.

Geng Miaowan turned around calmly, her gaze falling casually on him. "Didn't everyone hear what I meant? Or have you become so illiterate that you can't even understand human speech anymore?"

Seeing her words dripping with sarcasm and mockery, and finding himself unable to refute her, Qi Liuhai felt his anger flare up, threatening to consume him. "Geng Miaowan, don't push your luck!"

Upon hearing his words, Geng Miaowan couldn't help but laugh, then turned to Huangfu Aoxuan and asked, "Is anyone here?"

Huangfu Aoxuan shook his head. "I didn't see it."

Seeing the fascinating expression on Qi Liuhai's face, Xu Ruwen also shook his head, "I didn't see it either."

Seeing that Qi Liuhai was about to explode, Geng Miaowan turned her gaze to him. She looked at him with a half-smile, "Qi Liuhai, right? Since you call yourself a human being, you should do what a human being should do, otherwise you can only be considered a beast in human clothing at best."

"you……"

She held up a finger in front of him, almost touching his lips, forcing him to stop talking. She continued, "Just because I'm speaking nicely to you doesn't mean I'm afraid of you. If you keep being so ungrateful, don't worry about me not giving you face next time."

Geng Miaowan spoke in a very soft tone, yet it was enough for everyone present to hear, and everyone understood the warning in her words. After she finished speaking, her gaze seemed to casually sweep over everyone standing in the hall, then she gave Qi Liuhai a meaningful look, let out a sneer, and turned to leave.

Qi Liuhai's consciousness suddenly returned to the scene of being stripped naked in the arena that day. He felt as if a gust of wind blew directly through his clothes and onto his body, giving him goosebumps.

But the thought of his team members watching him from a short distance made him feel resentful. He was almost finished with his mission when he was suddenly teleported back. If it weren't for her, all the hard work of the past ten days wouldn't have been in vain.

He knew she had returned to cause trouble for him, but he never expected to be ridiculed and scorned by her. He looked up and saw Geng Miaowan with her back to him, completely unguarded. He twitched his fingers slightly, and a spell shot straight from his hand towards Geng Miaowan's back.

When the spell shot out from his palm, everyone in the hall was stunned.

Since the arena was closed, the Underworld has explicitly prohibited fighting, especially magical attacks, in any place under any pretext. Therefore, no one expected Qi Liuhai to attack Geng Miaowan in front of so many people, and especially with such a sneak attack from behind.

However, just because others didn't think of it doesn't mean that Geng Miaowan didn't think of it either.

Just as Qi Liuhai made a move, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. As if she had eyes in the back of her head, she flashed to the side, arriving right next to Huangfu Aoxuan. She unleashed a Flowing Wind Slash at him with one hand. No one noticed that the hand she had blocked by Huangfu Aoxuan flipped a few times, and several strands of compressed spiritual energy quietly flowed out from the side, taking advantage of Huangfu Aoxuan's obstruction.

The Flowing Wind Slash was incredibly fast, attacking Qi Liuhai from all directions. This reminded him of the painful lesson he had learned last time when she used this move to strip him naked, so he quickly withdrew his hand to block the Flowing Wind Slash.

Just as he returned his hand, a loud "boom" was heard. A huge hole was blasted into the upper left corner of the Chujiang Palace hall by magic. From Geng Miaowan's direction, one could see the perpetually gray sky of the underworld.

As stones and metal fell, everyone in the hall scattered and fled.

Qi Liuhai stared blankly at the large hole blasted out by the magic, his mind going completely blank for a moment.

The spell he just cast only had about 10-20% of its power, and he had already withdrawn some of his spiritual energy when he withdrew it, so it couldn't possibly have had that much power. Yet, under everyone's watchful eyes, everyone saw that the magical force that blasted up to the top of the hall was his doing. Creating a hole in the main hall of Chu Jiang Palace was tantamount to provoking Jiao Lingfeng; it was absolutely digging his own grave. (To be continued.)
