Chapter 4663: 5.0415 Beaten

"Senior Brother Zhao, Madam has given the order, please understand! Forgive our offense!" A hint of sarcasm flashed in the eyes of the two disciples as they suddenly rushed forward, releasing two streams of spiritual energy.

One landed on Zhao Yi's arm, and the other on Mu Xiaoxue's leg.

Mu Xiaoxue shrieked mournfully. Gu Yixuan rushed over to help, but he was surrounded by a dozen disciples who suddenly swarmed out from the main gate.

"Let's see who dares to help this hussy," a tall, slender woman in striking red robes, surrounded by attendants, walked out from the main gate. Her gloomy eyes were stern and cold as she scanned everyone.

"Drag her over to me."

Mu Xiaoxue was forcibly dragged from Zhao Yi's embrace, pulled across the ground, and thrown heavily before the woman.

With a "thud," Mu Xiaoxue fell to the ground, her hands scraping against it, creating several bloody marks. The pain made her tear up and gasp repeatedly.

"Mu Xiaoxue, I confined you, but you, instead, directly left Shadow City, your whereabouts unknown."

"If you had the guts, why didn't you just stay away? Now you're crawling back like a stray dog, and who knows what trouble you've brought to the city."

"I didn't, Madam," Mu Xiaoxue wailed, truly crying now, her eyes filled with tears that dropped one by one, looking utterly pitiful, like a wilting pear blossom in the rain.

Zhao Yi and Gu Yixuan were heartbroken. They braced themselves and said to the formidable City Lord's wife, "Madam, Junior Sister didn't cause trouble."

"Madam, Junior Sister is innocent. We truly didn't cause any trouble on this trip."

"Madam, Junior Sister and we went near Wangchuan Snow Ridge to search for the Tianji Secret Realm..."

"Hahahahaha," the Great Madam sneered maliciously. "Tianji Secret Realm? So you brought Mu Xiaoxue along just to explore some secret realm?"

"You brought a useless person with no cultivation to explore a secret realm? Hahahahaha! That's hilarious."

Mu Xiaoxue knelt before the Great Madam, her face filled with humiliation. She bit her thin lower lip tightly, tears falling one by one.

She was a useless person with no cultivation, but she didn't want to be!

Who with hair would want to be bald?

She dreamed of becoming a cultivator who could practice.

Madam Mu, however, couldn't stand her innocent, fragile appearance. Without a word, she slapped her across the face. "Crying again! Every time I speak less than three sentences, you start whimpering, acting as if the whole world owes you something! You're no different from your hussy mother. Both of you are sluts who hook up with men!"

"Madam!!" Zhao Yi's forehead pulsed with visible veins from anger.

If reason hadn't told him that the person before him was his shiniang (wife of his master), his master's legal wife, he would have truly rushed forward and beaten this woman.

"What? Angry enough to hit me? Want to stick up for this little hussy?" Zhuo Yan sneered, showing no mercy as she grabbed Mu Xiaoxue's hair. "Mu Xiaoxue, don't think that just because someone's defending you, I can't punish you! Get back to the confinement room immediately. You're not allowed to see anyone for three months."

"Shiniang!!" Zhao Yi roared.

"You, too, get back! Stop being so obsessed with this little hussy all day instead of cultivating properly. This is all the ambition you have! Get out!" Zhuo Yan snapped coldly.

"What now?"
