Zhu Yanyi finished hitting her. She walked straight to Yan Aohan. "I am tired. My hand hurts."
Yan Aohan felt heartache. she helped her sit down and rubbed her hand. "You should have worn gloves. Why hit her directly? Use a stick. Look, your hand hurts now."
The effect of the Ruthless Gentleman’s medicine had not worn off. He could only wait. Hearing Yan Aohan, he wanted to roll his eyes. What kind of person was this? His wife beat him, yet he complained about his tough skin.
Ouyang Mingyue coughed. "I ask, Emperor Yan, how did you do it?" She was curious how Zhu Yanyi, with Huaxu cultivation, could beat an immortal.
"I am a doctor," Zhu Yanyi said. She knew what Ouyang Mingyue meant. "As a doctor, I know how to use medicine. My medicine works on immortals too. When my cultivation improves, I can probably make medicine to fight gods."
She looked excited. She did not look like she was complaining about her hand hurting.
Ouyang Mingyue was so scared he almost fell. "You can make medicine to fight gods?"
"Not now, but later, definitely," Zhu Yanyi nodded seriously. She looked regretful. "Now I can only make medicine for immortals. So you are safe for now." This meant she might not be safe later.
Hearing this, Ouyang Mingyue looked at Yan Aohan. "I think you do not need to protect your wife. The immortals in my realm need protection."
"My wife is only at the peak of Huaxu. You are an immortal, yet you are weaker than her. This shows they are not strong enough. Protect them? Protect what? If they cannot protect themselves, they deserve to be beaten." Yan Aohan was fiercely protective of her wife. If someone bullied her, she would fight for her. But now she was bullying others. In her heart, those people were useless. They were grown-ups, yet her wife beat them.
In short, everything her wife did was right. Even her farts smelled sweet. Anyone who opposed her was wrong. Unless they gave her gifts, even looking at her was wrong.
The Ruthless Gentleman recovered. He sat up and rubbed his sore spots. He pointed at Yan Aohan. "You are so biased. Is this how you act? You show no mercy."
"You won’t die," Zhu Yanyi said directly. Seeing the Ruthless Gentleman lose her usual gentle demeanor made her feel good.
The Ruthless Gentleman said, "Don’t you think this is too much?"
"I am too much?" Zhu Yanyi pointed at herself. "Who is too much? You think you are a Golden Immortal, so you treat people like ants. Their lives mean nothing to you. But know this: all lives are equal. Even if you live forever, and mortals only live a few decades, while alive, all lives are equal. Do not tell me the strong rule. You are strong, I am weak, but didn’t I just beat you? Strength is not just what you see."
Zhu Yanyi spoke very fast. "I don’t know much, but in my world, there are hot weapons. One of them can blow up a Jindan cultivator. The people who made them were ordinary. They only lived a few decades, but they achieved the ability for the weak to challenge the strong.
Ruthless Gentleman, you might be strong because you are the reincarnation of Chiwu. You have opportunities others don’t. But your vision and heart are smaller than an ordinary person’s. Don’t talk about the Ruthless Dao. Your true Ruthless Dao would not be so narrow. If all three thousand Daos were this narrow, the Heavenly Dao would not recognize them."
Zhu Yanyi looked seriously at the Ruthless Gentleman. "I beat you to tell you: don’t think because you are a Golden Immortal and I am a Huaxu cultivator, you are stronger. Beating you is easy. Just a packet of powder. Sometimes, don’t judge by appearances. Even ants can destroy a long dam."
The Ruthless Gentleman listened silently. More accurately, she was digesting what Zhu Yanyi said.
She was not ignorant. Zhu Yanyi’s words explained many things. She just needed time to understand.
Touching her sore spot, the Ruthless Gentleman had to admit Zhu Yanyi was right. Her cultivation was lower, but she beat her. She thought she needed Yan Aohan’s help to bully her. But now she saw she didn’t need help. Among those below immortals, she could be considered number one.
Was her medical skill really that powerful? Or was her medical Dao that strong?
Whether medical skill or medical Dao, it had nothing to do with his Ruthless Dao.
"If I was prepared, you couldn’t beat me," the Ruthless Gentleman said seriously. He still believed he lost because he was unprepared.
Zhu Yanyi rubbed her hand and moved her joints. "Shall we try again? You prepare first, then I attack. Of course, if you fail, I will beat you again."
She disliked this kind of person more and more. Maybe beating her a few more times would help her understand life’s truth. Thinking this, Zhu Yanyi felt she was too kind.
The Ruthless Gentleman looked at Zhu Yanyi. She felt she could really beat her again. But she didn’t believe it. After thinking, she decided to try again. "Okay, I am prepared. Attack."
Zhu Yanyi walked toward her. Yan Aohan said from the side, "Wait." She took out a pair of gloves and carefully put them on Zhu Yanyi. "Your hand will hurt again. Protect it at least."
Zhu Yanyi put on the gloves and moved her hands. She nodded. "Good. These gloves are nice."
"I bought them from the black market recently. I thought you needed them for making medicine, so I bought several dozen. I will give them all to you later," Yan Aohan said seriously.
"Buy gloves from the black market?" Zhu Yanyi was surprised.
"I didn’t have time to go back. The black market is closer, so I bought them there. They aren’t much more expensive. I have money," Yan Aohan explained with a smile.
Zhu Yanyi nodded, understanding. Then she turned to the Ruthless Gentleman and walked slowly toward her. The Ruthless Gentleman was fully prepared. But Zhu Yanyi snapped her fingers. Thud. The Ruthless Gentleman fell soft on the ground again.
