Chapter 224

Liao Yongchang narrowed his eyes.0

"Little girl, there's no big deal here. Why go to such extremes?"0

He hadn't expected that the strength of a five-year-old child could be so terrifying.0

She was like a ghost, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, making it impossible to guard against.0

"No big deal? If it were you, could you stand a cockroach jumping around on your head without wanting to slap it dead?"0

Yun Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, her posture relaxed.0

Sun Jian, the burly man who had been compared to a cockroach, was seething with anger.0

But with someone's foot on his face and a knife pressing against his abdomen, he could only seethe silently.0

It was a joke—his life was in someone else's hands. Unless he didn't want to live anymore, he had no courage to be defiant now.0

The commotion here had attracted many onlookers.0

Liao Yongchang and his group's faces turned a deep shade of purple.0

Clearly, Yun Xiaoxiao was mocking them!0

He secretly observed Yun Xiaoxiao, as well as Ling Jing and Lu Chen, who were standing nearby with relaxed expressions, and his eyes narrowed again.0

These people seemed to be anything but easy to deal with.0

Even the youngest among them was this formidable, so what about the others?0

The fire-based psychic from earlier wasn't to be underestimated either.0

If it came to a real fight, he wasn't confident he could win against them.0

"So, what do you want?" Liao Yongchang asked coldly.0

Yun Xiaoxiao chuckled. "My demands are quite simple. This man has a foul mouth, so let him reward himself with two hundred slaps to his own face. And...0

Call me 'grandma.'"0

Liao Yongchang: ......0

Sun Jian: !!!0

This was practically rubbing their faces in the dirt!0

Seeing Liao Yongchang's rapidly changing expression, a cryptic smile flickered in Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes.0

Although she really wanted to kill, this was the Western Base.0

She had to give Peng Shaowei some face.0

Killing opportunities were plenty; there was no need to rush.0

However, some lessons still needed to be taught.0

Otherwise, others might really think the people from Yun City were pushovers.0

Of course, she had her own plans.0

While achieving a deterrent effect, she also wanted everyone to understand their strength, making it easier for her to proceed with her future plans.0

Her purpose here wasn't just to attend the meeting.0

Attending the meeting was one thing, but she had more important goals.0

Sun Jian, of course, didn't want to call her grandma or slap his own face.0

Just as the tension on the scene was reaching its peak, Peng Shaowei and Hao Ren arrived on the scene.0

Seeing the two approaching from a distance, Yun Xiaoxiao's lips curved into a smile, and she gave Ling Jing a meaningful glance.0

Ling Jing immediately understood her intent.0

His brows furrowed as he looked at Sun Jian, who was still sprawled on the ground.0

In an instant, Sun Jian's face contorted in pain.0

Seeing this, Yun Xiaoxiao lifted her foot.0

Sun Jian immediately sat up from the ground, his hands uncontrollably slapping his own face left and right.0

The sound of slaps echoed loudly.0

Surrounding onlookers gasped in astonishment.0

They could clearly see that Sun Jian's expression was one of extreme reluctance.0

Yet his actions were completely out of his control, slapping himself again and again.0

It was obvious that he was being controlled by something!0

Everyone turned their gazes toward Yun Xiaoxiao and her group, their eyes filled with shock and scrutiny.0

By the time Peng Shaowei and the others arrived, Sun Jian had almost finished slapping himself.0

Although he hadn't yet called her grandma, Yun Xiaoxiao didn't bother to push the matter further.0

After all... there's always tomorrow.0

Waving at Peng Shaowei and the others, Yun Xiaoxiao and her group turned and left gracefully.0

Peng Shaowei, having been informed of the situation by his subordinates, didn't harbor any hostility toward the arrogant Yun Xiaoxiao and her group. Instead, he felt a sense of admiration.0

After all, guests were guests.0

He couldn't ignore Sun Jian and the others completely.0

He briefly consoled them and then dispersed the onlookers.0

The matter was thus left unresolved.0

Back in their room, Sun Jian kicked the bed in frustration.0

"Brother Chang, I can't swallow this!"0

His eyes were bloodshot.0

"I've told you countless times before, you need to rein in your temper, but you just won't listen," Liao Yongchang said, his face dark.0

"Inside the base, no matter what you do, I can protect you.0

But outside, there are many powerful individuals we can't afford to provoke."0

"But are we just going to let this go? You didn't miss how arrogant they were earlier.0

They practically trampled all over our dignity!0

Look at how the other bases are looking at us now. Thinking about it makes me feel so suffocated."0

Liao Yongchang naturally remembered the humiliating scene.0

He narrowed his eyes. "Of course, we can't just let this go.0

But we can't beat them on our own.0

Tomorrow, the people from Xiangrui Base will arrive.0

When we team up with them, we'll definitely be able to defeat those people."0

Sun Jian's eyes lit up.0

"Exactly! The people from Xiangrui Base aren't to be underestimated!"0

He was filled with excitement, already imagining the scene of kicking Yun Xiaoxiao like a ball.0

Xiangrui Base?0

Yun Xiaoxiao, standing outside the door, furrowed her brow slightly.0

The name sounded familiar...0

Oh, right!0

That was the base from her previous life where the psychics massively used crystals.0

leading to psychics turning into zombies, causing a massive base-wide upheaval, and eventually self-destruction.0

Because the incident was so shocking, her impression of it was quite deep.0

If that was the case, she really wanted to meet those people.0

She wanted to see how powerful psychics who directly consumed crystals were.0

Yun Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, quietly coming and then quietly leaving.0

No one knew she had been there.0

Time quickly moved to the next afternoon.0

Originally, there were two bases that hadn't arrived.0

But one of the bases had already arrived in the morning.0

Now, only Xiangrui Base was still missing.0

As the scheduled meeting time approached, everyone was getting impatient.0

"Base Leader Peng, is it really appropriate for us to wait for just one base?"0

"Exactly, why should we wait for just one of them?"0

"What if they encountered some danger on the way and got delayed?"0

"Everyone faces dangers on the road. They should have anticipated this and left earlier."0

Peng Shaowei glanced at the time on his watch and frowned.0

Just as he was about to say they shouldn't wait and should start the meeting,0

he heard a series of footsteps coming from the staircase.0

The meeting was still being held in the second-floor cafeteria.0

"Oh~ Looks like everyone's here."0

A childish voice, belonging to a young boy, slowly rang out.0

Then, a group of people walked up.0

Leading them was a little boy, about seven or eight years old.0

His head was held high, giving him an air of superiority.0

His gaze was sharp and defiant.0

"Sorry for being late," the tall young man behind the boy said to Peng Shaowei, nodding slightly.0

Though his words were apologetic, his face showed no hint of remorse.0
