Chapter 722: Don't Lay a Hand on a Woman

"Don't always put on such an innocent act; who knows how many men you've slept with, or how many men's plaything you are," Yu Jiuzhen laughed loudly.

A mist rose in Yu Sichen's eyes, and tears welled up within them. Even now, she did not lose her decorum; she gave a slight nod to the two of them and turned to leave, but the moment she turned, tears streamed down uncontrollably.

"Jiuzhen, you have to believe me, she was the one who took the initiative to find me. You also know I'm very outstanding, and many women have secret crushes on me, but I rejected them all. In my eyes, there is only you," Liang Jin's voice came from behind. "A woman like Yu Sichen is truly cheap. Doesn't she have any self-awareness of what she's like?"

"Liang Jin, you say I took the initiative to find you?" Yu Sichen turned around abruptly. A trace of black Qi flashed in her eyes, and a burst of cold, gloomy aura made Liang Jin take a step back involuntarily.

"What do you want to do, Yu Sichen? Isn't what I said correct? Isn't it you who took the initiative to hook up with me?" Liang Jin steadied himself and shouted.

"Is that so?" Yu Sichen sneered. "I rejected you time and time again, yet you still found out my contact information from the sidelines and sent me explicit text messages. I have your number and the messages you sent on my phone right now. Do you want to take a look?"

"You..." Liang Jin was dumbfounded. He didn't know why Yu Sichen had suddenly flown into a rage. He stammered, "Don't talk nonsense; that message wasn't from me at all."

"Then we can verify it face-to-face and see what exactly you, this man so loyal to the daughter of the Yu Family, have said. You won't admit it, right? The phone number can't be wrong. Even if you used another phone, it still can't be wrong."

Yu Sichen picked up her phone, pulled up the messages Liang Jin had sent, and called back.

Beep, beep—Liang Jin's phone emitted a ringtone, and his complexion changed drastically.

"Liang Jin, is what she said true?" A trace of anger appeared on Yu Jiuzhen's face. "You're something else, aren't you? Acting one way to my face and another behind my back?"

"Jiuzhen, I was wrong. I was momentarily possessed, but, but what I said is true—this woman took the initiative to seduce me. If she hadn't given me her contact information, how could I have known it?" Liang Jin began to panic. He begged, "Give me another chance. This is a mistake any man would make."

Yu Sichen stared at Liang Jin, a trace of mocking laughter appearing on her face.

"What are you laughing at? Liang Jin is the man I, Yu Jiuzhen, have set my sights on. What right do you have to mock him?" Yu Jiuzhen was furious, and she vented all her rage onto Yu Sichen. "Now, come over here immediately and apologize to me in front of everyone."

"That won't happen," Yu Sichen said calmly. "Miss Yu, I do frequent various social venues, and I admit that because of my family's arrangements, I must find a way to marry into a wealthy family."

"But I have always been clean and upright. Even if my Yu Family has fallen, I, Yu Sichen, am not a high-and-mighty princess like you, but I am also not someone you people can humiliate at will."

Yu Sichen's tone was neither humble nor pushy, and her words were reasonable and well-founded. Even though the Yu Clan had already fallen and she was no longer a wealthy heiress, her aura firmly suppressed Yu Jiuzhen.

"Shut up! Liang Jin, slap her!" Yu Jiuzhen was furious.

"Alright, Jiuzhen, to prove my feelings for you, I'll go teach her a lesson right now." Liang Jin did not hesitate in the slightest; he took a large step forward, reached out, and prepared to slap Yu Sichen across the face.

Yu Sichen's expression was cold; she just stood there, waiting for the slap to land.

She walked upright and sat straight; even if the other party used power to force her, she would not yield.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side and grabbed Liang Jin's hand. At the same time, a familiar and extremely reassuring voice sounded in her ear: "It's not very gentlemanly to hit a woman in front of so many people."

"Chen Yu?" Yu Sichen turned her head in disbelief. Chen Yu's familiar smile appeared before her eyes.

All of Yu Sichen's grievances, all her fear and helplessness vanished in this instant. She believed that even if the sky were to fall, the man before her would hold it up for her, and she, unknowingly, had fallen for him, completely lost.

"Who are you? Let go!" Liang Jin was furious. "I'm hitting this person on behalf of Jiuzhen. If you don't want to die, let go..."

"Is that so?" Chen Yu nodded slightly. He suddenly let go, then spread his five fingers and delivered a crisp, unceremonious slap.

Slap... Liang Jin's body swayed, and he fell to the ground with a thud. Five bloody finger marks swelled up high on one side of his face.

This slap stunned Liang Jin completely. He covered his face with one hand and looked at Chen Yu in disbelief: "You dare hit me?"

"That's right, I'm hitting you. You're quite skilled at twisting black and white and acting like a dog. You look human, so why don't you act like one?" Chen Yu shielded Yu Sichen behind him and said coldly.

"Jiuzhen, he hit me! He actually dared to hit me! What if my face is ruined? I'm the one who is supposed to spend my whole life with you!" Liang Jin suddenly shrieked. He cried and lunged toward Yu Jiuzhen: "Jiuzhen, you must take revenge for me!"

"Who are you?" Yu Jiuzhen was enraged. She looked up at Chen Yu and screamed: "He is my, Yu Jiuzhen's, man! You dare hit him?"

"Don't talk about him; even if it were you, I would hit you just the same," Chen Yu said calmly. "Little girl, you're not very old, but you're quite skilled at being jealous. Today, both of you will apologize to Miss Yu, otherwise, none of you will be walking out of this door."

"This is rebellion, pure rebellion! Kid, who are you? Do you not know Jiuzhen's status?" Liang Jin clamored. He was someone who often hung around in various circles with Yu Jiuzhen.

But he found Chen Yu unfamiliar; he was definitely not from any major family. Most likely, he was just brought along by some young master on a whim. This kid probably didn't know that Yu Jiuzhen had a grandfather in the Martial Alliance of the Three Provinces and Six Cities, and a maternal grandfather in the Martial Ancestor Realm.

Slap... Chen Yu's slap knocked all of Liang Jin's teeth out. He covered his mouth and went to the side, spitting out blood frantically.

"You're courting death!" Yu Jiuzhen was furious. Having been pampered and spoiled by two Martial Ancestor elders since she was young, she had no idea how high the sky was or how deep the earth.

Seeing her little boyfriend's teeth knocked out and his face swollen, Yu Jiuzhen was enraged. After all, she was someone raised by two Martial Arts Families; she stepped forward and reached into her waist, and an exquisite copper ball appeared in her hand.

The copper ball was the size of an apple, carved with nine dragons soaring, and golden in color. Following her sharp shout, she threw the copper ball forward.

A Sword Qi emitted from the copper ball, accompanied by a faint ringing sound, and a Sword Light whistled toward Chen Yu.

This copper ball was a Sword Pellet, made of special materials. Usually, the sword was coiled inside like a tape measure. When encountering danger, the Sword Pellet would be activated by the wielder, condensing into a blade, capable of easily taking an enemy's head within ten zhang.
