Chapter 78: Brutal Growth

Bai Aoxue’s voice was not loud, but since those people present all practiced martial arts, they heard what Bai Aoxue said.

“Eight?” Luoyan repeated again, looking at Qi Liange with puzzle.

But she saw that Qi Liange was looking at Bai Aoxue with bright eyes as if he could only see Bai Aoxue. She was familiar with such a gaze. When she first saw Ye Zhaojue, she was the same as Qi Liange.

Thinking of this, Luoyan was stunned.

“Aoxue! What are you talking about? You are fine. Now go to find Uncle Xingzhi. After I teach this bastard a lesson, I will take you home!” When Ye Zhaojue heard that Bai Aoxue started talking, he appeased her cautiously.

What he feared most was that Bai Aoxue heard those harsh words of Bai Qiwei. Bai Aoxue was the last person in the world who should endure this. She was innocent.

She had no right to choose after she was born. He felt sorry for her. However, he was not a good uncle, letting Bai Aoxue suffer so many pains that she should not.

Especially now, looking at Bai Aoxue’s broken red dress and her seriously injured body, he felt distressed about this scene!

When Bai Aoxue listened to Ye Zhaojue’s words, she gently raised her head and smiled slightly. Her face was pale but sparkling.

Her smiley face brought tears to Ye Zhaojue’s eyes.

Many people didn’t understand Bai Aoxue’s unexpected smile, but Ye Zhaojue knew that she was comforting him.

“Uncle, I am fine. And I was willing to be whipped eight times. After these eight whips, I will have nothing to do with Bai Qiwei!” Bai Aoxue said indifferently.

When Bai Qiwei listened to Bai Aoxue’s words, he frowned and then shouted: “Bai Aoxue! I am your father. Whether we would sever the relationship is up to me! You have no right!”

Then he once again attacked Bai Aoxue with that whip. When everyone was worried about Bai Aoxue, that whip was easily caught by her.

Holding the whip tightly, Bai Aoxue looked at Bai Qiwei with cold eyes. They were locked in confrontation.

This tense situation made everyone dare not to blink their eyes. They looked at Bai Aoxue without blinking.

Even Ye Zhaojue, who was in the distance, frowned slightly about Bai Aoxue’s powerfully killing atmosphere and her rage. He never found out that Bai Aoxue had such a powerfully killing atmosphere.

Even he couldn’t compare with Bai Aoxue.

Just when Ye Zhaojue was confused, Bai Qiwei spoke again.

“Bai Aoxue, I ordered you to stop!”

When Bai Aoxue listened to Bai Qiwei’s words, although she did not speak, her strength dwindled.

Bai Qiwei also felt that Bai Aoxue was loosening that whip. He could not help smiling proudly and then quickly pulled that whip from Bai Aoxue’s hand.

But in the next moment, Bai Aoxue held that whip that was going to leave her, and then gripped it. She then forcefully pulled it out from Bai Qiwei’s hand!

“Bai Qiwei, no one can object my decision.” After taking back the whip, Bai Aoxue said coldly.

The whip rubbed Bai Qiwei’s palm when it was pulled away. He felt a searing pain.

Looking at Bai Aoxue who was not arrogant but domineering, Bai Qiwei said with anger: “It seems that you want to suffer more!”

“Men! Catch Bai Aoxue for me!” Bai Qiwei yelled.

One shadow guard who had been in the group that besieged Ye Zhaojue was rushing to Bai Aoxue.

Looking at that shadow guard who was rushing to her, Bai Aoxue picked up her eyebrows. The shadow guard, who just attacked Bai Aoxue secretly, was really looking for death. Since he wanted to die, she would make his dream come true!

Obviously, the shadow guard did not know Bai Aoxue’s thoughts at this time. For him, catching Bai Aoxue was as easy as falling off a log! It was also his chance to make a contribution!

Looking at the approaching shadow guard, Ye Zhaojue shouted: “Xingzhi, go to protect Aoxue!”

Even if Ye Zhaojue didn’t command, Xingzhi had already stepped forward. However, he stopped in the next moment.

Bai Aoxue twirled the long whip and whipped that shadow guard swiftly. The shadow guard even couldn’t approach Bai Aoxue. He could only keep dodging.

Everyone looked at Bai Aoxue in shock, only to see Bai Aoxue did not leave that shadow guard leeway by using her skillful movements.

Bai Aoxue’s whip followed him wherever he was. She didn’t miss a single whip. They all fell on that shadow guard.

That shadow guard’s clothes that were new and tidy became ragged, his blood splashed out along Bai Aoxue’s whip.

He did not expect that Bai Aoxue hid her abilities so deeply. At first, he was on guard when he saw Bai Aoxue fighting with Bai Feijue. But he thought that Bai Aoxue had already lost her strength after being whipped by Bai Qiwei for so many times.

But he didn’t expect Bai Aoxue to be so tenacious, and she even beat him harder and harder.

The whip seemed to have eyes. It kept chasing him, so he could only dodge right and left in a fix, but his mind never let up even for one minute. He was staring at Bai Aoxue, hoping that Bai Aoxue would betray her weakness.

But Bai Aoxue still let him down. Not only did she not reveal flaws but also whipped that shadow guard more fiercely.

The shadow guard glared at Bai Aoxue resentfully. He quickly pulled out three darts from his sleeve then hurled them at Bai Aoxue!

As that shadow guard had thought, Bai Aoxue took the whip back to lash those darts.

The shadow guard finally got what he wanted. He was waiting for this moment. As long as Bai Aoxue wasn’t whipping him, he would have the chance to approach her!

The shadow guard leaped. Within the blink of an eye. he had already come to Bai Aoxue.

Looking at Bai Aoxue’s panicked eyes, the shadow guard smiled ferociously. He clenched his fists, intending to attack Bai Aoxue’s head. It could be seen that he wanted to kill Bai Aoxue!

How could he not be angry or resentful since Bai Aoxue embarrassed him like this? His rankling hatred couldn’t be appeased if he couldn’t kill Bai Aoxue!

Seeing that he was about to hit Bai Aoxue, the shadow guard was very proud, but suddenly, he saw Bai Aoxue sneering at him. She waved her slender arm gently then she was no longer panic.

Looking at Bai Aoxue’s elegant movement, this shadow guard’s hand stopped for a while, but in the next moment, he felt that his neck was cold. He then looked at Bai Aoxue in shock and pulled back his waving hands immediately.

The shadow guard pulled the whip that wound his neck hurriedly, but he actually tightened the whip in a hurry, which choked himself.

Unexpectedly, Bai Aoxue wrapped the whip around his neck like a snake just by a gentle wave.

If it wasn’t because the whip was not as soft as a snake, he would definitely regard it as a venomous snake instead of a whip!

The shadow guard pulled the whip anxiously, while Bai Aoxue looked at him indifferently. She started to tighten that whip.

“Well, do you think you can still attack me for the second time?” Bai Aoxue said lightly.

When that shadow guard heard Bai Aoxue’s words, he looked at Bai Aoxue with horror: “You did it on purpose!”

The shadow guard spoke out of his mind directly. His hatred towards Bai Aoxue was increasing because he had been fooled around!

Looking at that shadow guard who was annoyed and shocked, Bai Aoxue said disdainfully: “Do you think that even you could make sneak attack work? You bite off more than you can chew!”

Her indifferent tone had the unique coldness and contempt.

But Bai Aoxue could do that. Even if she was now in an embarrassing predicament, she had the ability to despise everything!

Her slim and white fingers gripped the long whip. She was petite but she stood up straightly. Although her beautiful face was pale and bloodless, it didn’t affect her thrilling beauty.

“You…” That shadow guard pointed at Bai Aoxue. However, he couldn’t speak anymore before he finished his words.

Bai Aoxue tightened the long whip fiercely. She broke the throat of that shadow guard in an instant!

All of those shadow guards, who were fighting with Ye Zhaojue, stopped. They all looked at Bai Aoxue, only to see that Bai Aoxue gently let go of that long whip, sweeping those people present with her long and narrow phoenix-like eyes.

“I said that nobody can survive once I make a move. If you want to kill me, you need to be ready to be killed!” Bai Aoxue opened her thin lips, as if she was talking about something insignificant.

Xingzhi and his group were looking at Bai Aoxue. Now, they only felt that Bai Aoxue was even more powerful and domineering than Ye Zhaojue!

Turning to look at Qi Liange, Bai Aoxue said slowly: “I don’t know if Prince Peerless know that people also need to be skilled if he wants to watch a show. If he is not careful, maybe he will lose his life!”

When Qi Liange listened to Bai Aoxue’s words, he smiled but didn’t deny. He didn’t care about the irony in her words at all.

“Aoxue… Did you… kill someone…?” Ye Zhaojue looked at Bai Aoxue incredulously, and his voice was trembling.

Bai Aoxue smiled brightly. She looked at Ye Zhaojue and said: “Uncle, since I am Bai Aoxue, I have no choice. If I had not killed him, I would be killed in the future. I don’t want to die, and I can’t die! So, damned people only could be them.”

When Ye Zhaojue heard Bai Aoxue’s words, he suddenly found that his niece who used to be thin and timid and who needed his protection had grown up in silence when he didn’t notice.

However, she grew up in a cruel way.

After seeing through social snobbery and sinister motives, she forced herself to grow up instead of depending on anyone.

Now Bai Aoxue had already been an adult who could take care of things by herself, but he had always treated her as his little niece who once reached out her hands and asked him to hug her.

Looking at Bai Aoxue, Ye Zhaojue suddenly saw his little niece who hid behind the door and had bright and beautiful eyes. She said softly: “Uncle, you need to protect me in rest of my life.”

Ye Zhaojue relieved and smiled. His original cold face became gentler. He was gratified but also had regrets.

He missed Bai Aoxue’s growth, but he would never miss Bai Aoxue’s ascent to the peak!

“Our Aoxue has grown up!” Ye Zhaojue sighed faintly. Taking back his hands, he didn’t fight with Bai Feijue anymore.

Bai Feijue and his companions were all seriously injured during the confrontation with Ye Zhaojue. They even couldn’t defeat Ye Zhaojue by working together!

When Bai Aoxue saw that Ye Zhaojue took back him hands, she smiled with gratitude. How could she not feel grateful since Ye Zhaojue could understand her?

“Uncle, after I solve these trifles, I will go home with you!” Light flashed across Bai Aoxue’s eyes, and her lips picked up a beautiful arc.
