Chapter 21 First Face Slapping

First Face Slapping

Xue Bai had many things on his bucket list, and a proper Face Slapping scene was extremely high on it.

So after hearing the teens act arrogant, he puffed his chest even more than them and raised his chin.

While his actions had confused the three, his words angered them, "If I told you who I am, you'd have to bow and kowtow to me. Are you willing to kowtow to someone you've never met?"

"You arrogant little girl!"

"We are children of elders!"

"Even Young Master Long can't make us kowtow to him!"

Xue Bai's words were like a match on a pile of dry wood and instantly ignited the trio. They started yelling and acting even more arrogant than Xue Bai, as if it would suppress him.

Xue Bai, on the other hand, was laughing his ass off. The leader had taken what Xue Bai had done to a different level and was walking around like a peacock,

But Xue Bai's laughter didn't last long as they soon noticed Xue Bai having the time of his life from watching them act like fools.

The leader, as he was acting like the biggest fool, slammed the table and immediately turned it to dust. Since they were teenagers, they had already awakened their Martial Veins and started cultivating. And with the Huo Clan as poor as they were, they were regular tables made of ordinary wood, so breaking it was simple.

"Little girl, you are currently an intruder in the Huo Clan. Tell us who you are, or we'll take you to the Disciplinary Hall!" The leader shouted.

"My father is one of the Disciplinary Vice-Heads too! So if you go in, you'll never get out!"

"Who knows what would happen if a delicate girl like you went into prison." The last threatened menacingly.

However, their threats made Xue Bai laugh even harder. The last one especially made him hold his stomach in pain.

"Brother Lin, I think this girl is broken. Just take her away." Then, one of the boys told the leader after seeing Xue Bai laugh through all their threats when any other 8-year-old girl would be crying their eyes out.

Nodding, the boy went to grab her then a gust of wind blew through the hall.

"Young Duke, I got your message." Then, little Wang appeared and knelt in front of Xue Bai.

Though Xue Bai was having fun toying with the kids, he knew that in order for a proper Face Slapping scene, there had to be someone to stun the opposite party into silence. So he crushed a messaging stone to alert Little Wang to come over.

Messaging stones were usually for children without Spiritual Qi yet and had pre-set messages on them. That, when crushed, would be sent to the party it was linked to.

The stone he crushed was "people are annoying me," a message he wrote himself.

So after getting the message, Little Wang rushed over.

"Which of these Country Bumpkins were bothering you." Little Wang could somewhat tell bad happened from the broken table and the three boys surrounding Xue Bai.

Xue Bai wiped the tears from his eyes before responding, "These three fine boys had thought I was an intruder and were prepared to take me to the Disciplinary Hall. They even described what would happen if a "Young girl like me" went there. Fine kids if I say so myself."

The fine boys in question wanted to cry, but no tears were coming out. At first, they were bored and decided to tease the newcomer in the inner region cafeteria. But after hearing the girl be so arrogant, they planned to scare her. But then, suddenly, an aura completely encased them and immobilized them. And hearing the little girl explain their acts to the unknown powerhouse made them pale with fear.

Yes, they had said that, but they wouldn't actually do that. The three were just arrogant young masters who hadn't seen the cruel world yet. They wouldn't kill a beautiful little girl they had just met.

Little Wang, hearing that increased the aura he pressed onto them. "So you three want to make the Young Duke disappear?"

The three wanted to shake their heads, but the aura had almost made them kneel, and they were trying their best just to stand straight.

"You three know the punishment for killing someone of nobility, right? They could execute three generations of your family!" Little Wang shouted

Little Wang was right. Though the Huo Clan was a marquis clan, only the Patriarch inherited the title, and his firstborn son earned the Young Marquis title. The clan members were, while nobility, in the eyes of the public, were technically commoners.

"Little Wang, it's alright. You're about to kill them. Look, one of them even pissed himself." Xue Bai finally spoke from the back.

From the moment Little Wang had entered the cafeteria, he had locked them in place with his Spiritual Sense. And though he wouldn't kill them, the Spiritual Sense of a Law Engraving Realm cultivator was more than enough to punish the beginner cultivators.

"Are you sure Young Duke? They had threatened to kill you." Little Wang asked as he released them from the pressure

"They weren't serious. They probably haven't even killed a Demon Beast, let alone a human yet."

Hearing that, the boys nodded heavily. Xue Bai was right, they were only in the early Blood Exchange Reqlm, and most Demon Beasts were either at that realm or higher. Any lower and they were seen as normal animals.

"Also, I had Goated them into it. I was finding the Huo Clan boring and wanted some entertainment." Xue Bai paused for a moment, then continued in a configured tone, "Though I was in the grand seat of the banquet yesterday, did you three not see me?"

Hearing the words yesterday, the three boys blushed for some reason and didn't answer.

Frowning a bit from the lack of response Xue Bai spoke once more, "I'm sure you know who I am now from what Little Wang said, so I'll ask once more where were you three yesterday and why didn't you see me?"

The boys blushed harder but stayed quiet still.

Until the leader spoke, "We know you are Duke Xue's son, but can we not answer your previous question? We are still willing to apologize for earlier too."

Hearing those words, Xue Bai knew that these fools had probably snuck out to the red light district to have fun. However, he was having too much fun teasing them, so how could he let up?

Signaling, Little Wang Xue Bai ordered him to rerelease the pressure.

"The Young Duke has asked twice already! So I will give you three fools three breaths to answer, or you'll disappear instead!"

Hearing Little Wang intimidate teenagers so well made Xue Bai think he had practice. But he didn't point it out because he was currently struggling to hold a smile from breaking out.

While Xue Bai was having a blast, the three boys looked like they had been dropped into ice-cold water and turned pale. However, Little Wang didn't let up and began to count.

It only took to the count of 2 before they all knelt and yelled, "We were at the red light district, Young Duke, and missed the banquet. Please don't kill us!"

Hearing their heartfelt confession, Xue Bai couldn't hold it in any longer and started laughing again. Little Wang also couldn't help but chuckle a little.

However, he quickly composed himself, turned to the three boys, and said, "The Young Duke is thinking of your punishment. You may leave."

However, it did little to change the situation. The three knew that they were being clowned from the beginning. However, what could they do about it? One was a powerhouse stronger than their Patriarch, and the other was the only child of a Duke.

So they only bowed awkwardly and ran away. They wanted nothing to do with this bored Young Duke.

Xue Bai only composed himself after a few minutes. And after wiping his eyes, he looked around and couldn't find his sources of entertainment anymore.

"Aww, they left. I had so much fun."

"Young Duke, you are going to be a dragon amongst men in the future. Therefore, you need to conduct yourself accordingly." Little Wang commented on the side.

Though he had played second fiddle during the whole fiasco, he didn't enjoy it.

"Little Wang, you're the fun one of the two. Why are you being so dramatic suddenly?"

"Me and Big Brother Shu are feeling the Law Manifestation Realm and might go into seclusion soon. Without us, you might bother some other reclusive expert and get turned to dust."

Hearing that, Xue Bai didn't know what to say. He was aware that such a situation was possible, but the chances were so low.

So he only responded with, "Little Wang, you have a big imagination."

Little Wang brightened up after hearing that, but before he could reply, Xue Bai cut him off by saying, "Little Wang, my breakfast is taking too long. Go see what's the problem!"

Depressed, Litte Wang complied and soon returned with the maid and his order.

"Sister, why did you take so long?" Xue Bai spoke with his signature smile.

But the maid was scared still from it and could only force out, "Mr. Expert's aura was scaring me, so I hid in the kitchen."

Hearing that, Xue Bai smacked Little Wang and spoke, "How could you scare such a fragile beauty! Have you no shame?"

Aggrieved, Little Wang thought, 'It was your idea. Plus, I didn't even know she was there. How could I have excluded her from my aura?'

However, Little Wang only meekly replied, "Young Miss, I'm sorry for earlier here is some compensation." And he then handed her a bag with 5 Spirit stones inside.

Though the maid was terrified at receiving such a fortune after some persuading, she took it and ran off.

And with no more distractions, Xue Bai started to eat his breakfast.
