Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 280 Don’t slap me in the face

Ning Xuan remained silent with a sullen face. Ying Yaoshi went to the bathroom to shower and change his clothes.

Throughout the journey, Leng Yue provided him with detailed feedback on Ning Xuan's emotional changes. Through Yan Fuzhen and the other people he had placed around Ning Xuan, Ying Yaoshi also gained an understanding of Ning Xuan's temperament.

Because of the scarcity of high-level female spirit controllers, coupled with the indulgence of the Controller Protection Association, most controllers in the Federation treat their contractors very badly. Ying Yaoshi has a number of officers who have been matched with their contract masters, but few of them are willing to take leave to go back and serve their contract masters.

These were high-ranking officers; many of the contract holders of ordinary social status were also beaten to death or maimed.

Compared to other controllers, Ning Xuan never harms contractors for fun without reason. Even when she gets angry and hits someone, she is very measured in her actions.

However, most controllers treat contractors differently based on their personal abilities and social status. Contractors with higher social status can bring more benefits to their masters, who are usually more lenient towards them. Contractors with poor personal abilities and average social status, on the other hand, are often treated more harshly.

However, Ning Xuan is different from them. Ning Xuan's attitude towards the people around her does not take into account their personal abilities and social status at all, but is purely based on her personal preferences.

Ying Yaoshi quickly finished showering and changed into a loose bathrobe. Looking at his sharp features in the mirror, he felt quite uneasy.

Although he was much older than Ning Xuan, he had spent many years on the battlefield and had no experience interacting with women. He felt his heart pounding. He wasn't afraid of Ning Xuan getting angry; he was afraid she would ignore him.

Ying Yaoshi came out of the bathroom and didn't see Ning Xuan in the living room. "Xuanxuan..."

Ying Yaoshi frantically searched around, his steps faltering with tension, causing the loose silk tie at the collar of his bathrobe to come undone as he ran. He followed the scent and turned through the entrance hall, where he saw Ning Xuan leaning against the gym door, examining the interior.

This is where he usually works out; it has all kinds of fitness equipment, and a multi-functional climbing frame is placed in the center.

"Xuanxuan, what are you doing here?" Ying Yaoshi was about to walk towards Ning Xuan when a vine whip, accompanied by the sound of wind, lashed out at him.

Ying Yaoshi's body reacted much faster than his brain, and he instinctively grabbed the vine whip with one hand.

Ning Xuan hadn't expected him to grab the whip and pull it back forcefully, but the whip didn't budge. Because of the force and her anger, Ning Xuan's face turned slightly red.

Seeing that she couldn't pull him out, Ning Xuan angrily threw the whip aside, sat down on the sofa next to her, and coldly questioned, "Ying Yaoshi, do you dare to fight back?"

"No, I didn't mean to, it was just a conditioned reflex. Xuanxuan, um, there's an important meeting later, could you... please don't hit my face?" Ying Yaoshi knelt on one knee in front of Ning Xuan, lifted the rattan whip with both hands, and handed it back to Ning Xuan.

Ying Yaoshi and Ning Xuan knelt and sat close together. Ning Xuan's aura silently invaded Ying Yaoshi's senses. Smelling her scent and feeling the energy emanating from her body, Ying Yaoshi's Adam's apple bobbed. He suddenly felt very hungry, every cell in his body was boiling, his heart was racing, and his blood was surging.

Ying Yaoshi's wolfish gaze completely enraged Ning Xuan. She raised her leg and kicked Ying Yaoshi hard in the chest, knocking him to the ground. Then she took out a restraining ring from her spatial button and snapped it onto Ying Yaoshi's neck with a "click".

The binding rings also have levels. This one is the highest level binding ring, capable of suppressing SSS-level spirit controllers. However, even the highest level cannot completely suppress an SSS-level spirit controller. A binding ring was placed around Ying Yaoshi's neck, and instantly, the energy flowing through his bloodline became somewhat sluggish.

"Not hitting the face... is fine too." Ning Xuan snapped her fingers.

A vine climbed up to Ying Yaoshi's ankles and then suddenly shot up to the roof beam, leaving Ying Yaoshi hanging upside down from the beam.

With a sharp crack, the sound of the vine whip slicing through the air exploded in his ears, and Ying Yaoshi's back tensed up, like a fully drawn bowstring. When the barbed vine whip bit into his flesh, he couldn't help but groan.

A burning pain spread around him, and a surge of heat quickly rose within his body.

"Snap, snap, snap," Ning Xuan's wrist flicked slightly, and the sound of the whip cracking became more and more frequent. This rattan whip was part of the Ghost Face Red Rattan, and Ning Xuan used it as if it were her own hand, whipping it hard and accurately.

Ying Yaoshi's bathrobe had long been torn and scattered by the whipping. He was hanging upside down, his blood rushing downwards, increasing the pressure on his head and making him feel dizzy. In this dizziness, the areas with dense whip marks were tinged with red as the pain spread.

He had been injured and bled countless times, so these whip marks were nothing to worry about. He originally thought that being whipped a few times by Ning Xuan would be harmless, but he never expected it to be like this...

He had learned about Ning Xuan's preferences from Yan Fuzhen and knew that Ning Xuan was a person of her word who did not tolerate any argument. When he called Ning Xuan over, he had already thought that he should be more respectful in front of her.

A drop of blood fell and hit the ground, blooming into a bright red flower.

Seeing Ying Yaoshi covered in whip marks and bloodstains, Ning Xuan finally calmed down and put him down.

Ning Xuan saw Ying Yaoshi lying motionless on the cold floor, wearing a tattered bathrobe. She grabbed one of his military jackets from the clothes rack outside and threw it on him.

“Marshal Ying, you said you wanted to get involved in my life and be with me. I came here because you begged me, so you should know that you have to abide by my rules.” Ning Xuan was still a little nervous when she saw Ying Yaoshi lying there motionless.

However, Ning Xuan had no regrets about her actions. Last time they met, she was outmaneuvered by Ying Yaoshi. This time, she had to learn from her previous experience and suppress Ying Yaoshi's arrogance.

Otherwise, there's no need to get along anymore.

Ying Yaoshi picked up the clothes Ning Xuan threw at him, and in a flash, he disappeared.

Ning Xuan frowned. What was Ying Yaoshi's reaction?
Are you angry or annoyed?
Ning Xuan was somewhat puzzled by Ying Yaoshi's reaction.

Just as Ning Xuan was puzzled, Ying Yaoshi changed into a black military uniform, wearing the military jacket that Ning Xuan had just thrown to him, with a small snake with long horns embroidered in gold thread on the cuffs.
