The Legend of Min Hong

Chapter 185: Pecking On A Bottled Corn

To the rest of the sect who were aware that the sect leader had an adopted son, they only knew that he had been trying to form his first nascent soul but didn't know which Dao he was using to do so...

Thus, they thought Gong Yi wasn't just talented enough to step into the nascent soul in one go

But they didn't understand that the first nascent soul is the foundation and the leader of every other nascent soul and its limits would absolutely determine the limits of every other nascent soul one forms from then on

Meanwhile back at the commotion happening in District 21, the moment Shen Yang tried to touch Qing Tan on the face, she slapped his hands away;

"Only one person is allowed to touch me that way, and you're not him"

Qing Tan ranted before her face took a red hue when she remembered that shameless person's face causing Shen Yue who already have two of his goons in the 4 Star Dan Formation stage pin Mu Li down, whilst another two in the 5 Star blocked Mu Bai and finally two other lackeys blocking Kun Lin who could actually dispatch them all with just one of her alluring farts but couldn't do so because her cultivation base in the 2 Star Nascent Soul stage has to be kept a secret, at least, till their mission is completed 

She had initially wished that an elder would pass by and resolve the matter, but even though three of them passed by, they all ignored the matter like they were going to land themselves in deep trouble if they did that as they kept reminding themselves that bullying is allowed within the sect as long as one's life is not threatened, just to make themselves feel better

Moreover, even bullying wasn't only restricted to the disciples alone as even elders bully each other on a steady basis 

This action then created an unspoken rule amongst the sect elders and disciples;

"If you detest being bullied, the work hard and rise from the ranks of the bullied"

Thus, they could only blame themselves for being weak, lazy and having little to no ambition

The moment the surrounding disciples heard Qing Tan's statement, they all began to giggle as they began to whisper amongst themselves;

"Is she trying to say Shen Yang is a chicken pecking a corn which is already within a bottle?" "She even blushed whilst saying it"

Shen Yang who heard these insulting translations of Qing Tan's statement instantly got infuriated as he asked through gritted teeth;

"Who is this guy who is only allowed to touch you?"

If this commotion had happened within the female province, then probably Shen Yang would have been told that someone recently got all lovey-dovey with the little innocent Qing Tan till she fainted from embarrassment, but the point is, they were currently far away from the female province and though many saw the event transpire that day, not all of them witnessed the scene play out 

"You are not qualified to know him?"

Qing Tan resolutely replied as Shen Yang's fury finally peaked as he lost control of himself causing hot flames to surge out of the thin air in a bid to cower the timid looking Qing Tan

But the Qing Tan who had endured a situation which though was in no way violent but was equally as emotionally stifling, didn't even flinch in the face of Shen Yang's actions causing the onlookers to break out in a stifled laughter

Letting the rage overcome his thinking, Shen Yang raised his hand and sent a vicious slap towards Qing Tan

Slap! Slap!

Slap! Slap!

Slap! Bam!

Bam! Bam!

Bam! Bam!

The momentum at which he raised his arms caused everyone to actually cringe not to talk of Qing Tan who had shut her eyes tightly bracing for impact

But as resounding as the slapping sound was, Qing Tan didn't feel the slightest pain, not even the touch of a palm on her face or any other part of her body

Then she heard a voice that had now become so familiar that even her dead body would twitch just from hearing it;

"Silly girl how many times have I told you not to always look away from challenges?"

Then the glamorous scent of a jasmine flower coupled with the lily of the valley assaulted her nostrils as her shut eyes snapped open 

Then her eyes opened wide by the next thing she saw; there was the man she just spoke about right in front of her about half a foot away from her to the extent that she could faintly hear his heart beat and could even feel his breath caressing her face which instantly caused her to flush intensely

But then, she remembered the slap that was supposed to land on her face and quickly looked over Min Hon's shoulders and noticed that the overbearing Shen Yang was nowhere to be found

Then she looked a little bit farther off and saw five lower bodies protruding from the floor with their upper bodies completely buried in the dirt and amongst them was a figure with a certain robe she could clearly remember; Shen Yang!

Min Hong who heard Mu Li's wronged voice when he was about to walk past the commotion, had stopped and walked to the scene but he had been behind the crowd looking to check how these future subjects of his would be able to handle the situation

Though they didn't handled it too bad by cowering in the face of Shen Yang's background, they also didn't handle it well either

Thus Min Hong had decided to watch the event unfold, even to the time where Shen Yang had almost roasted Qing Tan when he lost control of himself 

Then he was pleased when he saw that the little, innocent Qing Tan was now able to stand up for herself and even to the point of proclaiming their last close sessions in public

But when Shen Yang was going to hit Qing Tan, then he couldn't bring himself to continue being passive about the situation

So, he had activated the 'Dao Realm' level of the [Chaotic Shadow Steps] movement technique which was now so fast that Min Hong could actually travel through the air without disturbing the airflow, wind speed or wind direction
