Chapter 51 Yue Luang's Rage

Somewhere in the Red Lotus Sect, a disciple was walking towards a specific house with a sly grin on his face.

"Hehehe, Master has already promised to deal with Wang Chen in the secret realm and give me a reward after I complete the mission," Yue Luang muttered under his breath.

Upon reaching the house, he shouted, "Wang Chen, come out!"

There was no reply from the cabin, but instead of getting angry like last time, Yue Luang seemed happy that no one answered him.

He moved forward and destroyed the cabin door, then shouted again, "Come out, you bastard Wang Chen!"

As he shouted, Li Mei came out from her room. She hadn't heard Yue Luang's voice at first, but after he broke the door, she heard clearly and answered.

"My master is not here. Why did you break the door?" Li Mei asked, her voice full of anger.

"Why are you here?" Li Mei asked, sensing that Yue Luang had not come with good intentions. When she saw the broken door, it confirmed her suspicions.

"You know that for breaking into someone else's cabin without their master's permission, you can be punished," Li Mei said with a stern expression.

Ha! Punished? By the master of this cabin? Don't make me laugh, if there is no master of this cabin who would punish me" Yue Luang sneered. "And you, a mortal with no cultivation, have the nerve to question me? How dare you even speak to me, much less show anger? I should teach you a lesson."

"The master of this cabin is the only one who has the right to punish me, should I ever do anything wrong," Li Mei's voice dripped with icy disdain as she spoke, her eyes fixed on Yue Luang with an unwavering glare. "You, a lowly disciple, have no right to be here. This place is meant for those who are worthy of it, not for troublemakers like you. So I suggest you leave now."

"How dare you..." Yue Luang's anger boiled within him. Wang Chen had already become superior to him, and he couldn't even get revenge on him. And now, to be told to leave by a mere maid who couldn't even cultivate - this level of humiliation was unbearable for him.

'Sorry, young master, but I'll have to be tough on her. That wild bitch needs to be put in her place, and I'll make sure she becomes obedient. It's my duty for the betterment of young master Jang,' Yue Luang justified to himself before walking towards Li Mei.

"You're gonna be my obedient bitch now." Yue Luang barked as he balled his fist and prepared to strike Li Mei in the abdomen.

He really wanted to slap her, but his young master told him to bring her back unharmed. However, in a fit of anger, he couldn't resist giving her a little beating. He didn't put much strength into the punch, so it wouldn't kill her.

Yue Luang didn't get the time to react as before his fist could hit her abdomen, Li Mei suddenly slapped him hard with a surge of Qi imbued on her hand.

It was a powerful move that caught Yue Luang off guard, throwing him against the wall of the gate he had previously destroyed. He cried out in pain, unable to believe what had just happened.

Yue Luang's hand trembled as he put it on his cheek, which was now red and swollen. Blood dripped from his mouth, and several teeth lay scattered on the floor.

"How is this even possible? How could you cultivate?" he managed to say through gritted teeth, his expression one of disbelief and shock.

Li Mei stood before him, her eyes cold and her posture confident. "If you still don't want to go and be beaten by a mortal again, I would not go easy on you next time," she warned him.

Her cultivation level had now reached the 2nd stage of the Foundation Building realm, and earlier, when Yue Luang had tried to attack her, his guard was down. Li Mei could have taken advantage and seriously injured him, but she had only used half her strength on the slap.

Yue Luang felt a vein bulging on his forehead at Li Mei's words, filled with shame and anger. He couldn't believe that he had been beaten by a mere mortal, someone who previously couldn't even resist his hand grip. If anyone were to find out about this, he would die from shame.

He was especially worried about his young master hearing of this incident. Yue Luang knew that his repeated failures would disgust his master, and he feared what the consequences would be.

Before his master left for the secret realm, he had given Yue Luang a mission and a pill that could help him break through to the Foundation Building Realm, making it easier to complete the mission. However, after being humiliated by Li Mei, he couldn't help but doubt his own abilities.

The mission assigned to him was straightforward - to kidnap the maid of Wang Chen. However, Yue Luang couldn't fathom why his young master was so smitten with a mere mortal maid. There were many beautiful female disciples in the sect who were willing to serve him.

Yue Luang had to upgrade his cultivation base to at least the foundation building realm to enter the True Core disciple area.

which he could achieve with the help of a pill his master had given him before leaving for the secret realm. However, instead of accomplishing his goal, he was left humiliated with a face slap.

"Now I have a reason to teach you a lesson," Yue Luang growled, his movements blurring as he launched a flurry of attacks at Li Mei.

Li Mei tried to defend herself from Yue Luang's attack, but her lack of experience in fighting was obvious. She had only recently advanced to the second stage of Foundation Building realm and had not yet honed her combat skills. As the barrage of attacks continued, Li Mei found herself struggling to keep up with Yue Luang's speed and power. She could feel her consciousness slipping away as she was hit hard in the head.

"Ha! You can't even stand up to me," Yue Luang taunted as he delivered a swift kick to Li Mei's side. "You're nothing but a weak and useless maid."

'This is it, I'm going to die here. I hope master Wang Chen…' Li Mei thought to herself as she struggled to stay conscious.

She tried to focus her Qi to heal herself, but the pain was too much to bear. As Yue Luang continued to beat her, Li Mei could hear the sound of her bones cracking under the force of his attacks. She knew that she couldn't take much more of this.

"Ha ha ha! You're nothing but a worthless piece of trash," Yue Luang laughed maniacally as he continued to beat on her unconscious body. "I'll make sure you regret ever crossing me!"

'But I can't give up, I have to keep fighting.' Li Mei thought, determined not to let Yue Luang win. She tried to gather her strength for one final push, but it was too late. Yue Luang had already unleashed a powerful attack aimed at killing her.
