Chapter 2185
Zhu Yanyi walked over, grabbed the Ruthless Young Master, and sneered with a hint of triumph. "If you had discovered my methods of using medicine, how could I still be called a Divine Doctor? Although I am no longer the God of Medicine, nor even a Medical Immortal, my skills as a Divine Doctor are enough to deal with you." After speaking, Zhu Yanyi beat the Ruthless Young Master again. This time, she hit her for a longer duration and over a wider area before finally letting go.
After finishing the beating, she walked to Yan Aohan’s side and took off her gloves. Yan Aohan nodded slightly, and the gloves turned into ashes. Zhu Yanyi sighed, "It has been a long time since I last beat someone. It is quite tiring."
Yan Aohan nodded seriously. "How about I handle the beating from now on? You can take a rest."
Zhu Yanyi looked helpless. "I originally wanted you to do it, but she didn’t believe I could beat her. So I had to do it myself. Sigh, I feel wronged too." She made a pitiful face, leaving Ouyang Mingyue speechless.
Ouyang Mingyue looked at the dejected Ruthless Young Master. "How do you feel?"
The Ruthless Young Master rolled her eyes. "If you want to know how it feels, let her beat you."
Ouyang Mingyue coughed. "I’ll pass. I think beating people is tiring, so I won’t trouble the Empress Yan."
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Ouyang Mingyue. "What are you afraid of? I don’t beat people for no reason. I am reasonable."
She pointed at the Ruthless Young Master. "I beat her because she looks down on life. she acts as if everyone else in this world is a lifeless puppet, and she can play with them as she pleases. I hate such people the most, so I beat her. You haven’t offended me, nor do you have such thoughts. Why would I beat you? Beating people is tiring."
Zhu Yanyi’s serious expression left Ouyang Mingyue and the Ruthless Young Master speechless.
Yan Aohan coughed and said, "Yes, beating people is tiring. So in the future, if you need to beat someone, hire a thug. You just give the orders, and let others do the beating. That way, you won’t be tired."
Zhu Yanyi tilted her head, thinking. "You mean I shouldn’t beat people myself. I should let others do it to vent my anger. In that case, they should thank me. Just like with the Ruthless Young Master, I should not have acted myself. I should have told the Immortal Emperor to beat her. Then I could rest properly."
"Why should I beat her? I have no grudge against her," Ouyang Mingyue argued quickly, hearing Zhu Yanyi’s blatant plan to use her.
Zhu Yanyi tilted her head and looked at Ouyang Mingyue with a strange expression. Ouyang Mingyue felt uneasy under her gaze. "Stop looking at me like that. Just say what you mean."
"You are the Immortal Emperor, right? The Lord of the Immortal Realm. Is that you?" Zhu Yanyi looked at her as if she were foolish.
"Yes, I am the Lord of the Immortal Realm. But what does that have to do with beating him?" Ouyang Mingyue was even more confused.
"Nonsense," Zhu Yanyi said with a look of 'you cannot be taught.' Yan Aohan explained from the side, "It is simple. You are the Lord of the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Realm is your responsibility. This Ruthless Young Master is an Immortal, so he is also your responsibility. If he does something wrong, shouldn’t you punish him? Therefore, you should be the one to beat him. Do you understand?"
Ouyang Mingyue blinked. He had never realized the Lord of the Immortal Realm’s duties could be interpreted this way.
Zhu Yanyi coughed. "So, I shouldn’t have acted. I should have let you beat her. By beating her now, I am essentially beating her on your behalf. So, how will you thank me?"
Here came the blatant extortion again. Ouyang Mingyue sighed and threw a bag of spirit stones at Zhu Yanyi. "I understand now. You did it on purpose to trick my spirit stones."
After a moment of thought, he looked at Yan Aohan. "By the way, don’t you feel ashamed that your wife earns money this way? The wife of the Venerable Yanluo using such methods? It is a form of fraud."
"My wife is willing to earn money this way, which means it is a good method. Since my wife is happy, why should I feel ashamed?" Yan Aohan’s thick skin meant Ouyang Mingyue’s words caused him no hurt to his pride.
However, Zhu Yanyi was not so forgiving. She snorted and ignored Ouyang Mingyue, speaking only to the Ruthless Young Master. "See, I accepted the Immortal Emperor’s money, so I taught you a lesson. If you want to settle scores, go find the Immortal Emperor. She paid for it. I am taking money to solve problems for others. I am helpless too."
She added seriously, "As the saying goes, if you eat someone’s food, your mouth becomes short; if you take someone’s hand, your hand becomes short. Since I received the Immortal Emperor’s spirit stones, I must share her burdens. So your opponent is not me, but the Immortal Emperor. If you want revenge, you must find the Immortal Emperor. Do not come to me."
This open incitement left Ouyang Mingyue stunned. He had been calculated, paid money, and was now taking the blame.
Ouyang Mingyue didn’t know what to say. She could only point at Yan Aohan, then at Zhu Yanyi, unsure of where to start.
Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow at Yan Aohan. Indeed, bullying others felt good, especially when the person was originally much stronger than you. It felt even better.
After a long while, Ouyang Mingyue finally caught his breath and said to Yan Aohan, "Your wife is bullying me."
"It’s fine. Let her bully you. It is good," Yan Aohan said seriously. "And remember, if my wife bullies you, you must let her bully you obediently. But you cannot bully my wife."
"Are you even a man?" Ouyang Mingyue said directly. "Your wife is riding on your head."
"I think you should ask the Immortal Empress later if you are dissatisfied with her, so you don’t like her riding on your head," Yan Aohan countered smoothly.
"You two are not good people," Ouyang Mingyue said directly. "You are accomplices in crime, birds of a feather."
"Then you are a good person," Yan Aohan said without anger, handling Ouyang Mingyue with ease.
Ouyang Mingyue was instantly speechless. What could he say? That he was a thing, or that he was not a thing? It was an obvious trap.
Zhu Yanyi didn’t care about Ouyang Mingyue swallowing her pride. Instead, she openly gave Yan Aohan two thumbs up, showing her approval.
