Chapter 4143: Fierce Beating

They hadn't expected this little Crown Princess's temperament to be so strange.

Turns out she came on stage to spar with Senior Sister Hong with the sole purpose of beating her into submission.

Senior Sister Hong was their Splendor Academy's exceptionally talented senior, and also the direct granddaughter of Grand Elder Hong.

How could someone as proud as she publicly bow her head to the Crown Princess?

Forget giving in; even admitting defeat verbally was impossible.

That Cha Pin-chao from Splendor Academy quickly stood up and declared loudly, "Crown Princess, our Senior Sister Hong admits defeat. Please release her."

Qiao Mu blinked, feigning misunderstanding. "I don't seem to have heard her say the words 'I surrender'."

Everyone couldn't help but look at her, speechless.

At this point, you've already unleashed a carnivorous plant and "eaten" half of her head. Even if she wanted to give in and surrender, how could she speak, alright?

Cha Pin-chao cupped his hands to her, his expression calm. "My apologies, Crown Princess. My Senior Sister Hong was overly arrogant and rude before. Please be magnanimous and release her."

Just a simple 'arrogant and rude' can excuse her previous actions?

Is it that easy?

Qiao Mu's lips curved into a cold sneer.

Before, she acted so haughty, walking up to Lady Qiao Qiao and repeatedly telling her to leave her husband. She really wanted to ask Miss Hong Shang, "What exactly is the basis of your arrogance?"

She absolutely detested those idle people who always looked down on others with disdainful eyes, finding fault with everything.

Simply causing trouble for no reason!

"I want her to verbally submit to me," Qiao Mu's eyes were cold as she stared at Cha Pin-chao. "Can you make that decision for her?"

"If not, talk less nonsense!"

A female student from Splendor Academy couldn't help but roar at the two hosts, "What are you still standing there for? Announce the end of the match!"

Niu Niu and Duo Duo exchanged glances, then gave the Splendor Academy students a helpless smile. "My apologies, Senior Sister Hong Shang of your academy has neither conceded nor fallen unconscious, nor has she fallen off the arena... According to the rules, the match can still continue."

"What?"

The students of Splendor Academy began to roar with dissatisfaction one after another. "Are you out of your minds?"

"If this continues, are you trying to kill our Senior Sister Hong?"

If Hong Shang were to be continuously swallowed and enveloped by the wood spirit-transformed carnivorous plant, her upper body would slowly be disturbed and consumed by the wood spirit's power!

What kind of joke was this?

This doesn't count as losing?

How could this competition be so rigid and dogmatic!

"I said it's not over yet, stop chattering and whining incessantly! So much useless talk!" Qiao Mu suddenly waved her hand towards the carnivorous plant.

Immediately, everyone saw the several-zhang tall carnivorous plant gracefully transform into tiny specks of wood spirit light, all collected into her palm.

The group from Splendor Academy watched with grim faces as their senior sister Hong Shang fell dizzily from the air.

"Senior Sister!"

"Senio..."

Just as Hong Shang was about to hit the ground, the two hosts slightly sighed in relief. They were about to announce the end of the match when—

Everyone's eyes widened in instant horror.

They saw the little stoic charge forward, and with a sudden, heavy punch, strike Hong Shang's delicate face.

"Pffft..." Hong Shang spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her entire body sent flying high into the air by that brutal punch.
