The steward found Ming Zhi Tian, "Where have you been during this time? I've been looking everywhere for you. Although the deputy steward doesn't need to do much, many documents still need your signature. If you neglect your duties like this and haven't contributed to the Xiao Ling Immortal Mansion, you'll be demoted."
Ming Zhi Tian said, "And then?"
The steward sneered, "Of course, if you were to give me thousands upon thousands of spirit stones, this humble steward might just turn a blind eye."
He had thought the steward was someone of consequence, only to find he was a scumbag.
"Scram." Ming Zhi Tian waved his hand and left, leaving the steward stunned.
When he recovered, he roared in anger, "Hmph, he's gone rogue! Just because he's the champion of the Three Great Douluo Competitions? And the favored one of Fairy Xiao Ling? A mere fifth-level Divine Emperor dares to act so arrogantly before me, a Supreme Emperor Realm cultivator? One day, I'll make you crawl back to my feet."
Ming Zhi Tian was somewhat worried about Yun Yan. He was about to head towards the Cloud's End, and on the way, he passed by the Fruit Garden. However, due to Fairy Yun Jun, he decided not to provoke her for now and bypassed it.
Yet, there is destiny in the unseen. The more you search for something, the less likely it is to appear, but when you stop looking, it suddenly shows up.
Five people flew towards him. One was a peerless beauty Ming Zhi Tian detested, followed by two female attendants and two stewards. The group was none other than Fairy Yun Jun.
Seeing that Ming Zhi Tian was not backed by Fairy Xiao Ling, Fairy Yun Jun became unrestrained, "Oh, isn't this Ming Zhi Tian, the champion of the Xiao Ling Immortal Mansion?"
Ever since that incident at Nine Cold Pond where she tried to torment him to death, Ming Zhi Tian had hated her to his core. He didn't want to bow to her and intended to ignore her completely.
"Stop!"
It had been a long time since anyone had dared to walk away without showing utmost respect. Ming Zhi Tian was one such person.
Fairy Yun Jun's phoenix eyes, resembling twin daggers, fixed on him, "You not only failed to pay your respects to me, but you're also ignoring me? Who do you think you are?"
Ming Zhi Tian turned back and said, "Fairy Yun Jun, you'd best not provoke me."
"You..."
"Do you know who you're talking to?" The steward interrupted Fairy Yun Jun, reprimanding him.
Fairy Yun Jun pursed her lips, giving him a sidelong glance, "Did I ask you to speak? Slap him."
"..."
Three loud slaps echoed from the female attendants: "Slap! Slap! Slap!..."
Fairy Yun Jun, in her high heels, stepped forward through the air, "You are quite something. During the absence of Fairy Xiao Ling and Immortal Master Luo Fan, you dare to openly defy me, disregarding all laws and order? Am I to laugh at your ignorance or your overconfidence? What do you have to fight me with?"
Ming Zhi Tian could no longer tolerate it, "Old hag, what are you yelling about?"
Fairy Yun Jun froze abruptly, "You... what did you say?"
It was satisfying, at least in the minds of the two stewards and two female attendants. They had long disliked Fairy Yun Jun for her arbitrary and cruel nature, but they were in no position to resist.
Ming Zhi Tian said, "Let me go. I don't want to hit women, but that doesn't mean I fear you, Fairy Yun Jun, or that I won't dare to kill you."
Ming Zhi Tian had no idea who was backing Fairy Yun Jun, which emboldened her to act so imperiously in front of others. Having said what he did, he didn't think too much about it.
Fairy Yun Jun's face completely contorted, "Ming Zhi Tian! Don't be so arrogant just because you've won the championship! If I want to kill you, I don't need anyone's permission. Do you have any last words?"
Ming Zhi Tian replied, "My last words are that I'll watch you die."
Fairy Yun Jun sneered, "A mere fifth-level Divine Emperor, such bold words. Guards, apprehend him!"
