Lin Yu and Su Yao were still frozen in surprise when Lin Qingdi suddenly glared at Lin Yu with venomous hatred. He clenched his teeth and shouted, “So your name is Lin Yu! You bastard, give me back my cultivation technique!”
His eyes locked onto Lin Yu like he wanted to tear him apart. “You stole my Heaven-grade technique and five spirit stones. Today, I want an explanation!”
Ever since he arrived in this world, everything had been going smoothly—until Lin Yu, this damned pest, kept interfering. Because of him, he, a dignified demon race Immortal Emperor, had been mistaken for a demon servant and auctioned off like an item.
It was a disgrace—a humiliation he could never wash away!
Lin Yu came back to his senses and looked at Lin Qingdi with an innocent expression. “Brother, what are you talking about? When did I ever steal your technique?”
Just as Lin Qingdi was about to explode, Su Yao shouted coldly, “Enough! Can you stop throwing baseless accusations? Lin Yu is the Young Lord of the Sacred Domain. He lacks for neither cultivation techniques nor spirit stones. Why would he need to steal from you?”
As for the so-called Heaven-grade technique Lin Qingdi mentioned, Su Yao found it ridiculous. Just look at his current appearance. If not for her soft heart, she would’ve already slain him with a single sword strike back at the Borderland.
“Baseless accusations… Yao’er, you think I’m making things up?” Lin Qingdi looked at her in disbelief. “I’m the one who brought you to this ancient Secret Realm. Why would you believe him over me?”
His eyes turned red, and he struggled to contain his anger toward Su Yao. Ever since they left the auction house, Lin Qingdi felt an unexplainable destiny between him and Su Yao. He had even revealed his true identity and brought her to seek out the Secret Realm, yet now she sided with Lin Yu!
“Enough!” Su Yao finally lost her patience and snapped coldly, “Yes, you did guide me here, but aside from that, have you said a single truthful word?”
If the Secret Realm hadn’t really been in front of them, Su Yao would have slapped him long ago. Along the way, Lin Qingdi kept claiming he was a reborn Immortal Emperor, then changed his story to being a Supreme of the Immortal Realm. It was so ridiculous she nearly died of second-hand embarrassment.
She turned toward Lin Yu. “Lin Yu, you tell me. Is he lying or not?”
Lin Yu sneered inside but put on a pitiful face and said, “Sigh, he’s right. I did steal his technique before. Let me return it to him now.”
Su Yao was stunned. Lin Yu actually did steal from him? Had she wrongly blamed Lin Qingdi?
Lin Qingdi’s face lit up with joy. “Yao’er, see? I told you I wasn’t lying!”
He turned to Lin Yu with a smug, twisted grin. “Heh, at least you know what’s good for you. Hurry and give my techniques back!”
Lin Yu sighed and pulled out a few books, handing them over. “Here you go!”
But when Su Yao and Lin Qingdi saw what he handed over, both were stunned.
Su Yao looked at the books and said in disbelief, “What is this… complete garbage?”
The techniques were all worthless trash, so low they didn’t even have a grade. Even a dog wouldn’t bother cultivating them.
Lin Qingdi instantly realized he was being mocked and exploded in rage. “You bastard! I want my real techniques! The ones that belong to me!”
Lin Yu, however, maintained a perfectly serious face. “This is what you had. I saw you scamming people with this junk, pretending it was Heaven-grade. I was worried someone might beat you to death, so I took them away for your safety.”
Lin Qingdi was stunned. In all his years across the Immortal Realm, fighting gods, demons, and immortals, he had never met anyone this shameless.
Su Yao finally saw the full picture and glared at Lin Qingdi with fury. “So you really were lying to me!”
All this fuss, and it turned out Lin Yu had taken the techniques only because Lin Qingdi was conning others with them.
“Pfft!”
Gu Ling’er couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst out laughing, only to be silenced by a sharp glare from Lin Yu.
Already fuming, Lin Qingdi turned and roared at her, “You bitch! What are you laughing at?!”
Smack!
Su Yao’s slap landed square on Lin Qingdi’s face. She trembled with rage as she shouted, “You bastard! Do you even know who you’re talking to? Who gave you the courage to speak like that?!”
Gu Ling’er and Lin Yu had both helped her. Now that the misunderstanding was resolved, all she felt toward them was gratitude. And this demon servant, whom she had taken in out of kindness, dared to insult them? How could she tolerate that?
Lin Qingdi held his face, stunned. “Yao’er, you hit me? You’re hitting me because of them?!”
Tears streamed down his cheeks. After cultivating for thousands of years, after battling Immortal Emperors and being decapitated by evil demons, this was the first time he’d ever cried.
In his entire life, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

Lin Yu struggled to contain his laughter and reached out to stop Su Yao’s hand mid-air, feigning concern. “Su Yao, don’t hit him again!”
After all, he wouldn’t die from a slap.
He said with a conflicted expression, “I know you’re angry, but I’m worried you might hurt your hand. If you must hit someone, let me do it instead!”
Then, he turned toward Lin Qingdi and whispered so only he could hear, “Jie jie jie, prepare to die!”
Smack!
Before he could finish, Lin Yu slapped him hard across the face, leaving a vivid handprint.
Lin Qingdi’s head buzzed. “You dare hit me?!”
[Luck Point +1,000!]
Lin Yu shouted angrily, “You still dare to talk back? Can’t you see Su Yao is still angry? You deserved that!”
Smack!
Another slap landed.
[Luck Point +1,000!]
Lin Yu was ecstatic. He could gain Luck Point by slapping him? Then sorry, no holding back!
The more he slapped, the more excited he became. His hand swung wildly as he roared, “Su Yao is still angry! Su Yao is still angry!”
Smack! Smack! Smack!
[Luck Point +4,000!]
Lin Qingdi scrambled around, covering his head and screaming, but Lin Yu’s palm was like a homing missile—there was no escape.
Su Yao stood frozen. “Uh… I don’t think I’m that angry anymore. Maybe we should… stop?”
Lin Yu was hitting way too hard. Lin Qingdi’s face now looked like a pig’s head.
Seeing this, Gu Ling’er turned around and almost suffocated from laughter.
“Enough! Stop! Please!” Lin Qingdi cried out in agony.
“Su Yao is still angry! Su Yao is still angry! Stay mad, Su Yao!” Lin Yu shouted as he continued his onslaught.
He was going insane. With every slap, Lin Qingdi’s Luck Point visibly dropped.
