"Hmph, I'm not talking to you anymore."
With a pout, Di Mingli decisively turned her head and walked into the room.
He dared to say she wasn't easy to deal with. This jerk only knows how to bully her.
It was that other woman who started the trouble first.
The more Di Mingli thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't stand this grievance at all.
Su Yu twitched the corner of his eye at the scene. Her temper, as always, was just the same as before.
"Hmph, I'm not talking to you either."
Wang Dong'er's eyes lit up, mimicking the act. She pouted dramatically and stomped toward the room as well.
Su Yu spoke faintly, "Try moving another step."
Wang Dong'er froze mid-step, turning around to look at Su Yu with defiance.
That woman could act out.
So why couldn't she?
"All day long, you just stir up trouble. I haven't even settled the score with you yet. The guest just arrived, and you're already picking a fight with her?"
Su Yu took two steps forward, pinched Wang Dong'er's delicate cheek with his right hand, and tugged.
Wang Dong'er mumbled, "What are you talking about? When did I stir up trouble? She was the one who started it with her rude words."
"She even dared to say Lan Fozi isn't a person. I was standing up for justice."
Lan Fozi looked a little startled. This was about her?
Su Yu was momentarily stunned. He had assumed Wang Dong'er was just jealous and picking a fight. So it was about this?
But… Mingli wasn't entirely wrong. Lan Fozi wasn't exactly an ordinary person, after all.
Casting an imperceptible glance at Lan Fozi, Su Yu cupped Wang Dong'er's face with both hands, gently squeezing it until her cheeks deformed.
Wang Dong'er was forced to pout.
"Mingli is a bit blunt in her words, but she doesn't have any bad intentions. You misunderstood her."
"Listen to me: don't provoke her again. The two of you could get along just fine as friends, couldn't you?"
"Maybe you two might even find some common ground?"
Su Yu spoke softly.
"No way. That woman's attitude is even more arrogant than mine used to be. Why should I lower myself to be friends with her?"
"I don't care. I don't want to be friends with her."
Wang Dong'er was still a bit unwilling, clearly still holding some resistance.
Su Yu lightly tapped her forehead with his fingers, smiling faintly. "You haven't spent time with her yet. How do you know that beneath her proud exterior, there isn't a soft heart?"
"Weren't you the same back then? So arrogant, looking down on everyone. But I didn't hold it against you."
"You didn't hold it against me? You straight-up disciplined me," Wang Dong'er muttered with a hint of resentment as she stared at Su Yu.
How could he say that with a straight face?
Her first lesson at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy had been Su Yu giving her a hard time.
And now he dared to say he didn't hold anything against her.
She could guarantee that if she hadn't changed her attitude, Su Yu would never have fallen for her.
Now he was just standing there, talking like it was no big deal.
"So… by your logic, can I discipline her too?" Wang Dong'er muttered in response.
Su Yu chuckled. "If that's what you want to do, I won't stop you. But only if you can do so."
"Oh, so you're saying I can, huh?" Wang Dong'er's eyes sparkled, clearly intrigued.
Back when Su Yu defeated her, he set the rules in their dorm.
So if she defeated Di Mingli, didn't that mean she could set the rules for her too?
In that case, Su Yu wouldn't have any reason to argue with her, right?
The more Wang Dong'er thought about it, the more she felt it was a good idea. Instead of them constantly glaring at each other and creating awkward situations for Su Yu, it'd be better to settle things outright.
That way, they wouldn't have any lingering issues.
As for whether she could win, Wang Dong'er was very confident.
She was a Twin Martial Soul holder and a high-level Soul Emperor. Even against someone like Meng Hongchen, who had already broken through to Soul Sage, she dared to fight.
Taking down this arrogant woman? Piece of cake.
Not everyone was as freakishly strong as Su Yu.
She admitted she couldn't beat Su Yu, but as for her peers, she hadn't met anyone she couldn't handle yet.
"Yes, I said it," Su Yu said, his expression a little strange. He truly hadn't expected Wang Dong'er to take things in this direction.
What could he say? Wang Dong'er was already very strong.
At seventeen, the same age as him, she was a level sixty-eight Soul Emperor. That alone was impressive.
Add to that her Twin Martial Souls, her soul bones, and her Soul Tools. Her combat power was undeniable.
But her opponent was Di Mingli.
The Golden Dragon Martial Soul was in a league of its own—no need to elaborate.
And Di Mingli also had the Golden Dragon Spear, which could practically be called an artifact.
Wang Dong'er was truly courageous, Su Yu had to admit.
After thinking for a moment, Su Yu added a gentle reminder, "Mingli isn't an ordinary person, Dong'er. You'd better think carefully about what you're doing."
"I've thought it through. I'm just afraid she won't dare," Wang Dong'er snorted confidently.
Alright then. Since she'd already said as much, Su Yu decided not to say anything more.
Revealing any more details would be unfair to Di Mingli.
"Then I'll wait and see."
After ruffling Wang Dong'er's hair, Su Yu turned and headed toward the room.
Compared to Wang Dong'er, Di Mingli was harder to placate.
After all, she was the one who had been spoiled since childhood. A real challenge, indeed.
Knock, knock.
Su Yu knocked on the door.
"Mingli, I'm coming in~"
The door wasn't locked, which made Su Yu feel a bit more at ease.
As expected, Di Mingli didn't respond, but Su Yu didn't let that dampen his spirits. He opened the door and walked inside.
In the living room, Lan Fozi looked apologetic. "I'm sorry, Dong'er. If it weren't for me, things wouldn't have gotten so awkward."
Wang Dong'er waved her hand dismissively. "This has nothing to do with you. It's just between us."
"I don't know why, but the moment I saw Di Mingli, I had this strange feeling. I didn't want to accept her."
"She probably feels the same. Otherwise, she wouldn't have blown up immediately."
"I don't know where Xiao Su found her. I doubt she's as easy to get along with as he thinks."
Lan Fozi looked worried. "Won't it be bad if you two keep butting heads like this?"
Wang Dong'er smiled faintly. "That's why I need to find a way to resolve it."
"Even though I don't get along with her, letting things stay tense will only make things harder for Xiao Su."
"Even if my man is annoying, always flirting and being indecisive… well, I love him anyway."
"So, for his sake, I'll try to adapt. That's why I want to settle things with Di Mingli once and for all."
"Are you confident?" Lan Fozi asked.
Wang Dong'er smiled. "Don't worry. I'll win."
Meanwhile, in the room...
"You said it yourself, I can hit you as I please~"
Di Mingli clenched her fists, eager to start.
A bead of cold sweat dripped down Su Yu's forehead as he laughed dryly, "Actually, I was hoping you could go a bit easier on me."
Di Mingli glared at Su Yu. "Are you feeling sorry for her?"
"How could I not feel sorry? I'd feel the same if it were you," Su Yu said, spreading his hands.
"Hmph, smooth talk. I won't fall for your tricks," Di Mingli snorted, glaring at Su Yu again.
"Since she proposed the challenge, I'll accept. Whoever wins gets their way, and you can't interfere," Di Mingli said, narrowing her eyes at Su Yu.
"Alright, alright, I won't interfere. You two can sort it out yourselves, okay?" Su Yu waved his hand, sounding a bit helpless.
It was tough being caught in the middle sometimes. They were both his women, not subordinates, so he couldn't be too forceful with them. After all, Su Yu truly loved each of them.
"That's better," Di Mingli's expression softened a bit. She added, "If she loses, I won't let her touch you again."
"You're mine."
Su Yu rolled his eyes. "Don't be ridiculous. That's not happening. Don't even think about it."
Not being able to be intimate? That was Su Yu's bottom line, something he'd never compromise on.
"You... I'm angry now," Di Mingli said furiously.
Su Yu looked at her calmly. "Mingli, if you keep talking about this, I'll get angry with you."
"You lost back then, so don't bring this up again."
"You!"
"Hmph, fine, I won't mention it."
Di Mingli snorted, her plan foiled again.
Wasn't there any way to get rid of all those messy women around Su Yu?
Wasn't she and the Great Sovereign enough?
I absolutely won't give up.
Di Mingli clenched her fist, secretly vowing in her heart. (Gu Yuena silently gave a thumbs up)
Her hopes dashed, Di Mingli looked at Su Yu still standing before her, suddenly feeling resentful.
She huffed, "We're done talking, why aren't you leaving?"
"Are you... kicking me out?" Su Yu pointed at himself.
"That's right, seeing you annoy me," Di Mingli said somewhat tsundere-like.
Su Yu narrowed his eyes, "Mingli, I've noticed you're getting more and more mischievous. That's not good, you know."
Seeing Su Yu getting closer, Di Mingli panicked a bit. "What... what are you doing?"
Su Yu smiled playfully, "Guess?"
"You... mmph..."
Di Mingli was about to speak when she was silenced, her body going weak as she collapsed into Su Yu's arms.
In the empty room, two figures embraced each other.
"You... you bad person... mmph..."
At this moment, silence spoke louder than words. A moment of quiet surpassed thousands of words.
...
...
The battle between Di Mingli and Wang Dong'er inevitably broke out.
The two faced off in an open area.
This battle was earth-shattering, eclipsing the sun and moon (exaggeration). After several rounds of intense fighting (one-sided beatdown), it finally came to an end.
Di Mingli won against Wang Dong'er with a slight advantage.
The Golden Dragon martial soul showed its overwhelming power, something the Light Goddess Butterfly couldn't compare to.
Even when Wang Dong'er brought out the explosively powerful Clear Sky Hammer, Di Mingli caught it with one hand.
The Clear Sky Hammer's burst power was undeniably strong, but it was no match for the Golden Dragon that countered it perfectly.
Ultimate power crushes all challengers, a complete and utter domination.
On the battlefield, Wang Dong'er hung her head in defeat while Di Mingli looked proud.
The two women's soul power was similar, but the advantage of the ultimate martial soul was too great.
"Wang Dong'er, remember your promise. From now on, remember to call me big sister when we meet."
Di Mingli held her head high, with the air of a victor.
"Damn it!"
Wang Dong'er looked indignant, gritting her teeth.
Did she actually lose?
To this violent woman?
Thinking of Di Mingli's beast-like fighting style, Wang Dong'er still felt a lingering fear.
It was too violent.
No technique, all raw power.
This devastated battlefield was all Di Mingli's handiwork.
One stomp from Di Mingli created a huge crater, and her punches felt like being hit by a galloping carriage.
The sheer violence of the fight scene left Wang Dong'er breathless.
How could Su Yu like such a violent woman?
With a dejected heart, Wang Dong'er left the battlefield.
She looked at Su Yu standing nearby and complained, "You could have warned me."
Su Yu was stunned, then laughed, "Didn't I warn you? I told you to think it through carefully. Who told you to insist on fighting?"
Wang Dong'er pouted, "You didn't say her martial soul was so violent. This is not an ordinary martial soul."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Indeed, it's not ordinary. That's the Golden Dragon, the origin of power."
Golden Dragon?
"The Golden Dragon, one of the most orthodox dragon martial souls, possessing the purest and most domineering power. It can also be called the ultimate power, a type of ultimate martial soul. However, it's a bit stronger than other ordinary ultimate martial souls."
Wang Dong'er: "..."
She fell silent.
She really fell silent.
This violent woman had an ultimate power martial soul?
No wonder she was so violent.
Wang Dong'er thought for a moment, then suddenly gritted her teeth and pounced into Su Yu's arms, trying to bite his neck.
Su Yu pinched Wang Dong'er's little face with one hand, chuckling, "Why are you biting people?"
"It's all your fault, all your fault. You knew she had the Golden Dragon martial soul, yet you still let me fight her?"
Su Yu was stunned, "Didn't you insist on fighting yourself?"
"I don't care, I don't care, it's all your fault anyway."
Wang Dong'er nuzzled around, feeling extremely unhappy.
She had been too careless.
Di Mingli turned out to have a Golden Dragon Martial Soul, which she had never anticipated.
The ultimate power.
Wang Dong'er, always by Su Yu's side, how could she not know the terrifying nature of an ultimate martial soul?
If she had known Di Mingli had a Golden Dragon Martial Soul, she absolutely wouldn't have fought her.
Finding out only after losing was incredibly frustrating.
That despicable Su Yu, deliberately hiding it without saying a word, he's just too wicked.
"Starting to be unreasonable again, aren't you?"
Su Yu found it somewhat amusing and lightly smacked Wang Dong'er on her perky bottom.
Wang Dong'er jumped back as if shocked, her pretty face turning as red as a monkey's behind.
If it was just Su Yu alone it would've been fine, but there were other people here too, and Su Yu actually dared to spank her there.
"You... you scoundrel, I'm not talking to you anymore."
Wang Dong'er, face flushed, ran off in a flash.
Lan Fozi and the others exchanged glances, looking at each other in bewilderment.
"A Golden Dragon, huh."
Lan Fozi sighed silently in her heart, looking at Di Mingli with a peculiar gaze.
After today's battle, she could be certain that Di Mingli was no ordinary person.
A Golden Dragon Martial Soul - that's not something an ordinary person could possess.
