Chapter 410: Youre Bullying Me!

Chapter 410: You're Bullying Me!

Seeing Ling Feng take his granddaughter away, General Deng didn't linger. As the Ascendant Eagle General, even though he had retired from the front lines, he still had a lot of duties to handle daily.

Deng Yongshi angrily followed behind Ling Feng, glancing back to see her grandfather leaving like he was reassured, which made her stomp her foot in frustration.

Without my cultivation, I'm like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!

This damned scoundrel!

Deng Yongshi clenched her fists and shouted at Ling Feng's back, "You wretched boy, don't think I'll let you order me around like this. I don't know what you did to bewitch grandpa into trusting you so much!"

Ling Feng stopped and turned to look at her, a playful smile on his face. "You have to admit, your grandfather's wisdom surpasses yours. If you had even a tenth of his judgment, he wouldn't have needed to ask me to teach you."

"Bah! Don't think I'll acknowledge you as my teacher!" Deng Yongshi plopped down on a nearby stone, massaging her calves in frustration. "I'm not walking anymore! I'm exhausted!"

With her meridian gate sealed, Deng Yongshi couldn't channel any true qi. Originally, martial practitioners could walk lightly thanks to their true qi. Now that she was back to being a mortal, it was no wonder she felt so tired.

"We've barely walked a few steps!" Ling Feng raised an eyebrow. "Little girl, you need to understand your situation. I advise you to cooperate, or you'll suffer more."

With that, Ling Feng grabbed her wrist and leaped towards the small river connecting Orchid Pavilion and the general's mansion.

Deng Yongshi cried out in panic and shouted for help, but the servants knew Ling Feng was her teacher and only watched from afar, not daring to interfere.

Soon, Ling Feng landed on a dry riverbank. He then let go of Deng Yongshi and stood with his hands behind his back.

As soon as she stopped, Deng Yongshi clutched her mouth and felt nauseous. "Puke..."

Ling Feng shrugged. When Yan Cangtian had first taken him to the medicinal herb garden, he had experienced the same sickening feeling. However, Ling Feng showed some mercy; if he had moved any faster, Deng Yongshi might have thrown up her bile.

"You wretched boy, you did this on purpose!"

Every time she shouted, she swallowed more mud, making her gag and retch violently.

Throughout this, Ling Feng stood on the bank while watching her indifferently. The black mud wasn't sewage sludge; it was just ordinary riverbed mud. The river was clear and unpolluted, and the mud wasn't naturally this foul.

Ling Feng had sprinkled some odor-releasing powder into the mud, causing the intense stench.

So, while the mud was repulsive, it was harmless. Deng Yongshi, being a Pulse Formation Realm martial artist, wouldn't die from swallowing a bit of mud, even with her meridian gate sealed.

"AAHHH! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"

Deng Yongshi tried to get up but was ruthlessly kicked back into the mud by Ling Feng. The revolting feeling of the mud and the biting insects crawling over her skin, causing pain and itchiness, made her shiver with disgust.

After a while, she stopped cursing and began to wail.

She had never been humiliated like this in her life. After being thrown into the mud and rolling in it, all her grievances turned into tears. She lay helpless in the mud while crying loudly.

"Wah... You're bullying me! You're bullying me! Wahh..."

She felt abandoned by the world. Her mother died when she was young, her father has been stationed far away for years, and her beloved grandfather now ignored her. She felt helpless and was being tormented by the worst person in the world.

Her sorrow echoed in her heart as she cried uncontrollably in the mud.

At that moment of utter despair, her hidden fragility beneath her spoiled and willful exterior finally emerged.

"Wah... You're a bad person! The worst in the world! Grandpa asked you to teach me, but you're just taking revenge and bullying me! You big bully, I'll definitely tell Grandpa. Wahhh..."

Seeing her finally break down in tears, Ling Feng smiled slightly. He squatted down by the riverbank and said coldly, "Miss Deng, you've misunderstood. I'm not bullying you or taking revenge. As your teacher, it's my duty to teach you things you didn't understand before.

"You, as the young lady of the general's mansion, have always been like a cloud in the sky. But today, I'm telling you that you're no different from this mud. No, you're even worse than this mud!"
