"Who are you calling a stinky woman? Say it again and see what happens!"
As she spoke, a clear slapping sound suddenly echoed from nearby.
"This slap is on behalf of your parents to teach you a lesson, so you know how to speak properly outside!"
"This slap is to remind you not to seek trouble for no reason, or next time it won't be just a slap, understand?"
The woman hadn't even recovered from the pain on one side of her face before the other side was struck again.
"Sister Zhou Zhou, hitting a woman like this, aren't you afraid of dirtying your hands? Let's not stoop to their level. I just saw some barbecued Divine Beast over there, how about we go take a look?"
Rao Linger deliberately changed the subject, not wanting the conflict to escalate. As the victim, she tried to play the peacemaker, thinking it's better to avoid making a big deal out of it as it wouldn't be good for either side.
Zhou Zhou listened to Rao Linger, since she was the one hitting others, she wasn't at a disadvantage. The others were the ones getting hit, and it's only natural they'd harbor resentment.
"You two are really in sync, aren't you? What, you think you can just walk away after hitting someone?"
The hit party wasn't very convinced. Letting Rao Linger and her friends go now would only boost their arrogance, wouldn't it?
"Not leaving after being hit, do you want to get hit again by us?"
The opposition wasn't willing to let them go, and Zhou Zhou wouldn't back down either. They might be outnumbered, but Zhou Zhou's sharp tongue couldn't be beat.
"The first time I got hit was by accident, but this time it won't be so easy!"
The woman who had been slapped stood in the back covering her face, and a slightly taller woman stepped forward to back her up.
Looking at her appearance, it was clear this woman wasn't someone to be trifled with.
The woman extended her hand, aiming to strike at Rao Linger and the others, targeting not Zhou Zhou but intending to slap Rao Linger hard enough to keep her face swollen for at least a day, showing just how malicious her intent was.
Luckily, although Rao Linger wasn't quick to react, Zhou Zhou was always alert and wasn't easy to challenge. Who couldn't stop a slap?
"Want to retaliate? Have you even considered if you have the skills for that?"
Zhou Zhou intervened to block the slap, her hand still tingling a bit from the force.
"Sister Zhou Zhou, how about letting Lin Zhen handle these troubles? If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be tangled up with these women!"
After all, with someone to rely on, why not use that relationship?
"I thought you two had some skills, but it turns out when faced with difficulties, you just turn to seeking help. You're just a woman who depends on men!"
Depending on a woman wasn't so bad either. Rao Linger even felt that having a Guardian Angel was something to be proud of.
"I have a man to rely on, do you?"
Rao Linger's retort was a knockout, pouring salt on the wound.
"Don't be so smug!" The group of women rolled up their sleeves, itching to tear the sharp-tongued Rao Linger and Zhou Zhou apart.
"Forget it, arguing with them is a waste of time, better to eat something and satisfy our mouths first."
Were they treating the other women as air?
"Ladies, even if we offend Lin Zhen today, we must teach them a lesson. We can't lose our face and drag our family's name down with us."
The tall woman stirred up anger among her group, and women who valued family honor were ready to fight.
"Get them!"
"These two stinky women deserve a beating. Today I'll teach you what it means to be human!"
To set a good example, the tall woman was the first to strike, grappling with Zhou Zhou. Once she restrained Zhou Zhou, the rest focused on attacking Rao Linger.
Rao Linger soon fell into a disadvantage. Alone, she couldn't match the multiple women attacking her, being pulled by the hair and having fingers twisted, her body wracked with pain.
Zhou Zhou wasn't faring much better either.
Having experience with surprise slaps, she struggled in a scuffle. She was not physically a match for the taller, longer-limbed opponents, and restraining Zhou Zhou was only a matter of time.
"Young Master, what's happening over there? Lady Zhou Zhou and Miss Ling Er are in a tough bind!"
A servant beside Lin Zhen first noticed Zhou Zhou and Rao Linger's dire situation and understanding Lin Zhen's feelings for Rao Linger, he had to give a timely reminder.
"Ling Er?"
Lin Zhen looked in the direction pointed out, seeing several women surrounding two others, entirely one-sided, he could feel a pang of heartache just imagining it.
"Hurry to check it out, if Ling Er is being bullied, I will definitely get to the bottom of it."
Lin Zhen didn't care that guests awaited his attention, he pushed aside people in his way and quickly rushed over to drive away the attacking women.
By then, it was beyond describing Rao Linger and her friends as simply looking disheveled.
Miserable!
The word that leaped into Lin Zhen's mind was miserable.
"Who threw the first punch just now?"
The usually refined Lin Zhen erupted with anger, a side of him no one had seen before.
Even the tall woman who had declared to teach Zhou Zhou and her friends a lesson, despite Lin Zhen's wrath, was too scared to speak.
"Who started it, who struck first? If no one speaks, you all face consequences. Speak, and you might have a chance!"
Lin Zhen scanned each person with his gaze, and everyone he looked upon felt like they'd momentarily tasted death.
"You, who struck first just now?"
As no one volunteered, Lin Zhen randomly pointed at someone from the tall woman's side. The woman, who relied on the tall woman for any semblance of power, hesitated in fear, but one harsh glance from the tall woman silenced her. She quickly shook her head, saying, "I, I don't know anything!"
The tall woman sighed with relief seeing she wasn't exposed.
"And you, don't you know anything?"
Another nearby woman was asked, and she too shook her head, but her luck wasn't as good as the first. By then, Lin Zhen's anger had simmered to the boiling point.
"I really don't know, please don't ask me anymore!"
Lin Zhen struck a palm in her direction, using his Inner Strength, knocking the woman to the ground, quickly spilling blood onto the party floor.
