Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1023: Chapter 1023: I Generally Don’t Hit Women (3rd Update)

”Yes, sometimes we all feel indignant for Miss Zhuo!”

”I’m more curious about the man following Miss Zhuo though!”

”I noticed him too. He seems handsome and quite a match for our Miss Zhuo when they stand together. Just not sure about his strength? But looking at his frail appearance, I guess he can’t beat me!” a robust sailor said solemnly.

”Enough, we know you like Miss Zhuo, but you better stop worrying unnecessarily! Even if she were blind, she wouldn’t choose you!”

”Yes, I do think they make a great pair! Miss Zhuo has had a tough time these past years; it would be nice if she found someone to cherish her!”

Everyone nodded in agreement, but then someone else sighed.

”If it could really happen, that would be great! But I’m afraid the Zhuo Family might not agree!”

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

”Yes, the Zhuo Family obviously wouldn’t let go of such a perfect pawn as Miss Zhuo; they will squeeze out all her value before they are satisfied!” someone lamented.

”Those scoundrels, Miss Zhuo is a member of the Zhuo Family after all, why do they have to bully her so much?” a sailor said angrily.

”Why, because Miss Zhuo’s mother... was a maid!”

This statement silenced the crowd, and many shook their heads, filled with sympathy.

Though these murmurs were all kept low, Xue An heard every single word clearly, and combining it with what he had experienced on the ship these past days, a faint smile appeared on Xue An’s lips.

This girl, this city, and even this sea, are all quite interesting!

Zhuo Yangyang was busy transferring the cargo on the ship until half an hour later, when things finally settled down.

She nodded apologetically to Xue An, ”Mr. Xue, I’m truly sorry to have kept you waiting! Let us now enter the city!”

Xue An nodded noncommittally, ”Alright!”

But just at that moment, a chariot pulled by a cloud beast came rushing over.

The speed was so fast that the pedestrians and sailors on the road couldn’t avoid it quickly enough.

In an instant.

The chariot stopped right near Zhuo Yangyang, and then the curtain was lifted, revealing a heavily made-up face.

”Oh, isn’t this our Zhuo Family’s talented young lady! What, has the business trip finally come to an end?” the woman snidely remarked.

Seeing this woman, Zhuo Yangyang’s complexion turned slightly pale, yet she still respectfully performed a greeting, ”Greetings, Sister!”

”Alright! Spare me that gesture. You might want to recognize me as your sister, but I have no intention of acknowledging you as my little sister,” the woman retorted.

People around couldn’t help but show a trace of anger at her words.

But Zhuo Yangyang lowered her head even more, ”Yes, Miss Zhuo Ya!”

”That’s more like it!” Zhuo Ya arrogantly nodded and then suddenly noticed Xue An standing behind Zhuo Yangyang, looking puzzled.

”Who is this?”

Zhuo Yangyang hastened to say, ”Miss Zhuo Ya, I haven’t had the chance to introduce him. This gentleman is someone I met in the Sea of Divine Wrath. If it weren’t for him, neither I nor the ship would have made it back!”

Zhuo Ya regarded Xue An with growing suspicion and increasing chill in her eyes, finally snorting disdainfully, ”Zhuo Yangyang, are you saying that in the Sea of Divine Wrath, he rescued you?”

Zhuo Yangyang nodded, ”Yes!”

”Ha! That’s utterly ludicrous. What kind of place is the Sea of Divine Wrath? If you encountered danger there, how could a penniless young man sort it out? Ridiculous! Zhuo Yangyang, I think he’s just your little lover!”

Her words were extremely venomous.

Zhuo Yangyang’s face instantly turned pale, and her body couldn’t stop trembling, yet she forcibly calmed herself and said, ”Miss Zhuo Ya, what I’ve said is indeed true...”

”Enough! Don’t forget how your mother conceived you and how she died! A slave’s daughter is always a slave’s daughter, and you truly can’t change the lowliness etched in your bones!”

Zhuo Yangyang’s complexion turned deathly pale in an instant, and a layer of mist also clouded her large eyes.

”What? Do you feel wronged by what I just said?” Zhuo Ya sneered, about to add more.

But then, Meng Lei quickly approached. Seeing the situation, he knew what had happened and forcibly suppressed the rage in his heart, bowing slightly toward Zhuo Ya.

”Second Miss, what Miss Zhuo said is all true. We encountered a half-god level colossal sea beast in the Sea of Divine Wrath. If Mr. Xue hadn’t appeared in time, we really wouldn’t have made it back!”

Although he acted arrogantly when facing Zhuo Yangyang, Meng Lei was the Zhuo Family’s top captain, so Zhuo Ya dared not be too presumptuous. However, she couldn’t resist commenting, ”Captain Meng, you need to be responsible for what you say. A half-god level sea beast... Haha, if that’s true, then wouldn’t this poor boy also have to be at least half-god level?”

Zhuo Ya wore a cold sneer.

Just then, shouts from the sailors around them were heard.

”Captain Meng is right! I can testify!”

”Yes, I can testify too!”

These voices clashed together, and many sailors began to express their disdain openly.

”You...” Zhuo Ya had never expected such a turn of events.

In fact, the reason she had come to the harbor today was because she heard that Zhuo Yangyang had returned, so she planned to mock her for a bit of fun.

She never thought she would offend the masses.

She couldn’t lash out under such circumstances, but she directed all her seething fury toward Zhuo Yangyang, ”You wretched slave, just wait! I’ll show you when we get back!”

Saying so, Zhuo Ya prepared to draw the curtains and leave.

But just at that moment, Xue An, who had been silent all this while, suddenly laughed.

”Are you called Zhuo Ya?”

Zhuo Ya startled, then looked at Xue An with disgust, arrogantly saying, ”Yes!”

Xue An nodded, ”Very good! If I heard correctly just now, did you call me a ’poor boy’ twice?”

These words made Zhuo Yangyang’s eyes widen gradually.

Zhuo Ya dismissed it with a nod. ”So what if I did?”

Xue An smiled, then turned to look at Zhuo Yangyang, ”In terms of relationship, what should you call her?”

”Call... sister!” Zhuo Yangyang said bewilderedly.

Xue An nodded, ”Well then, today I’ll discipline this disobedient ’sister’ of yours!”

What?

Zhuo Ya nearly jumped up from her carriage upon hearing this. No one had ever dared to speak to her like that.

But before she could react, Xue An had already appeared near the carriage and with a raised hand delivered an extremely crisp slap.

Snap!

Zhuo Ya crashed against the carriage, directly being flung out.

After free-falling, her meticulously cared-for face was swollen beyond recognition.

And this slap left all the onlookers astonished.

Xue An, however, nonchalantly clapped his hands and said indifferently, ”I generally don’t hit women, but you are an exception!”
