Chapter 58

"Indeed, we have a fifty percent chance," Song Yu said. "Due to a stroke of luck and at a great cost, we obtained a segment of the Naga clan's mystic vein crystal from a tomb. This item is a treasure of the heavens and earth, capable of almost completely reshaping the mystic veins."

"Since it's so precious, why are you willing to give it to Ximen Yan Yan?" Yang Dingtian asked.

Song Yu replied, "Because our Netherworld Sea once owed a favor to the Lord of Ximen City. After Miss Ximen was injured, the Lord of Ximen City traveled a great distance to the Netherworld Sea to seek our help, but at that time, we were helpless. It wasn't until today, when we fortunately obtained the Naga clan's mystic vein crystal, that the elder dispatched me to Cloudy Peak City."

"Only fifty percent?" Yang Dingtian asked. "What if it fails?"

"At best, her tendons and meridians will be severed; at worst, her qi sea will be destroyed," Song Yu said.

"I've heard that the favors of the Netherworld Sea are very expensive. If you successfully cure Yan Yan's mystic veins, what will we have to pay in return?" Yang Dingtian asked.

Song Yu glanced at Yang Dingtian, a smirk on his lips. "Your wife."

Yang Dingtian's temples throbbed, and he coldly said, "Be more specific."

"Once Miss Ximen recovers her strength, I will give her ten years of freedom to accomplish her own affairs," Song Yu sipped his tea and continued, "After ten years, her freedom and everything else will belong to us."

"Indeed, very expensive," Yang Dingtian said.

"Of course," Song Yu said. "The price of the Netherworld Sea has always been the highest. Of course, apart from us, no one else in the world can cure Miss Ximen."

"Then I apologize, but we refuse to pay this price. You can leave now," Yang Dingtian said.

Song Yu's proud eyes narrowed. "You are not qualified to make this decision. It is only because of the Lord of Ximen City's plea that the Netherworld Sea has granted you this opportunity. Otherwise, I would not have come to a place like Cloudy Peak City."

"I can certainly make the decision; I am her husband," Yang Dingtian said. "Please leave. We don't want the favor you owe the Lord of Ximen City anymore. Keep the Naga clan's mystic vein crystal for yourselves."

With that, Yang Dingtian left without waiting for a response.

Next, he had to persuade Ximen Yan Yan, which was much more difficult. Yan Yan's stubbornness was almost insurmountable. The only person who could control her was her father, Ximen Wuya, who was no longer around. No one in the world could truly control her, and Yang Dingtian was no exception.

Before going to see Yan Yan, Yang Dingtian first took two bottles of wine and drank one in one go. Instantly, a fiery drunkenness surged through him. His mind was already heated, but it wasn't enough. So, Yang Dingtian drank the other bottle of strong liquor in one go.

Immediately, his blood boiled, and his mind was filled with a strong urge to argue.

He came to the door of Ximen Yan Yan's small building and knocked loudly.

It was already midnight, and Ximen Yan Yan was sitting alone on her bed, lost in thought. Hearing the urgent knocking, she frowned and said unhappily, "Who is it?"

"It's me!" Yang Dingtian said, then pushed the door open and walked in.

Yan Yan was slightly surprised, then turned her face away. "What are you doing here? I don't want to see you."

"Are you leaving tomorrow?" Yang Dingtian asked.

"Yes!" Yan Yan coldly replied.

"Going to the Netherworld Sea with Song Yu?" Yang Dingtian asked.

"Yes," Ximen Yan Yan said. "Are you done asking? If you are, leave. I want to sleep."

Yang Dingtian stepped forward. "You don't have to go. I've already refused him and sent him away."

Ximen Yan Yan was shocked, standing up from the bed and staring at Yang Dingtian. "You dare?"

"I've already done it," Yang Dingtian said. "The deed is done."

Yan Yan was furious. "What right do you have to do this? This is my business. What right do you have to do this?"

"I am your husband, and I have the right to do this," Yang Dingtian said loudly.

"Husband?" Ximen Yan Yan sneered. "The husband who let me be ridiculed by everyone? The husband who let me be humiliated by others?"

"Who? Who humiliated you?" Yang Dingtian asked. "Tang Xin? I'll go and teach her a lesson."

Then, Ximen Yan Yan smelled the alcohol on Yang Dingtian and realized why his tone and manner were different. She was both angry and amused. "Yang Dingtian, besides boasting and making empty promises, what else can you do?"

"What's the point of sending Song Yu away? Others don't know where the Netherworld Sea is, but Father told me the general direction. I'll go there myself when the time comes." Ximen Yan Yan picked up a leather bag from the bed and walked out, saying, "I won't wait until tomorrow. I'm leaving now. I'm going to chase after Song Yu."

"You dare?" Yang Dingtian stepped forward and grabbed Ximen Yan Yan's arm.

"What do I have to be afraid of?" Ximen Yan Yan said. "You dared to stay in Ximen Ningning's room at night and even dared to hide naked in her wardrobe. What do I have to be afraid of?"

Yang Dingtian was stunned, not realizing she had seen him at the time but pretended not to.

"Why did you say those heartless words when you knew I was hiding in the wardrobe?" Yang Dingtian shouted.

"Because I knew you were hiding there, that's why I said them," Yan Yan shouted back.

Yang Dingtian was taken aback again.

"Feeling guilty?" Ximen Yan Yan said coldly. "I must be blind. You not only lack strength but also character."

"She was just helping me heal. I was soaking in a medicinal bath at the time," Yang Dingtian said.

"Then why were you so guilty when I came in, and why did you hide?" Ximen Yan Yan sneered. "Enough, don't say anything more. Whatever you do is none of my business. Let go of me now, or I'll use force."

"I won't let go," Yang Dingtian took a deep breath. "It's only five days. Can't you wait five days?"

"No, I don't want to wait," Ximen Yan Yan said loudly, her breath carrying a hint of alcohol. She had also been drinking.

It seemed this couple was determined to argue, having drunk to build up their courage.

Hearing her unreasonable words, Yang Dingtian's hand tightened. "You must wait. You must wait five days. Tonight, you are not allowed to step out of this room."

"Hmph..." Ximen Yan Yan sneered. "How will you stop me? With your lack of even a novice warrior's strength?"

"Yang Dingtian, it's not that I look down on you. There's something I've been holding back for a long time. You're all talk, whether it's with Dongfang Bingling or Tang Xin. You're all boasting and nothing else," Ximen Yan Yan sneered. "I want to see what you can do to stop me. I want to see what you can do besides talking."

These words made Yang Dingtian furious. The alcohol in his system made him forget everything.

"Good, very good..." Yang Dingtian trembled. "As the old saying goes, a woman who isn't beaten for three days will start tearing off the roof tiles. Ximen Yan Yan, today I'll show you that I not only talk but also know how to beat a wife."

With that, Yang Dingtian, his mind completely clouded by alcohol, lunged forward, grabbed Ximen Yan Yan's delicate neck, and pounced on her like a tiger on a sheep, pinning her to the ground and sitting on her slender waist.

Then, Yang Dingtian raised his hand and slapped her plump, tender buttocks hard.

"Slap, slap, slap..." The soft, elastic buttocks made a series of crisp sounds, the buttocks quivering.

"Ximen Yan Yan, I've also been putting up with you for a long time. My hand has been itching, wanting to hit you," Yang Dingtian said, slapping her hard.

Not satisfied with hitting through her clothes, he pulled down her pants, revealing her snow-white, plump buttocks, and slapped her hard, skin against skin.

"Slap, slap, slap..." One slap after another, her tender, snowy buttocks quickly turned red and swollen, the smooth buttocks quivering like ripples, emitting a fragrant aroma.

"Let you go, let you go. I'll beat you, and see if you still go. Wait five days for me..."

Ximen Yan Yan was completely stunned. From being pounced on to being slapped on the buttocks, to having her pants pulled down, she was like someone struck by lightning, unable to react. Not only had she never been hit before, but the previous Yang Dingtian had always been gentle and considerate, treating her with respect. He had never even said a harsh word to her.

But now, he suddenly pounced on her and slapped her buttocks hard. Her mind went blank, unable to imagine such a scene, and she was completely stunned, losing her usual composure.

After two full minutes, Ximen Yan Yan finally shouted in anger, "Yang Dingtian, I'll fight you to the death."

Then, Yan Yan suddenly turned over, grabbed Yang Dingtian's ear, and pinned him to the ground, punching and kicking him.

Yang Dingtian roared and pounced again, pinning Yan Yan's plump body to the ground and slapping her buttocks and legs one after another.

Yan Yan struggled desperately, grabbing Yang Dingtian's collar with both hands and kicking his stomach with her feet...

Instantly, the two of them were completely engaged in a fight, rolling on the floor, from under the table to the room, to under the bed.

Yang Dingtian had only one method: pinning Yan Yan down and beating her buttocks.

Yan Yan also had only one method: using any means necessary, punching, kicking, scratching, and biting.

However, both of them forgot to use martial arts, forgot to use mystic energy, and forgot to use any weapons. They fought like a rural couple, using the most primitive and brutal methods, rolling and fighting on the ground.
