My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Chapter 57: Bite Back

Gu Yan Rans voice of hatred reverberated on the battle platform, and also made those that had been dumbfounded regain their senses.

Yan Ran. Blue veins popped on Gu Yuan Kais forehead and his originally warm smile grew fearfully grim. He couldnt resist, stood up, flew onto the battle platform, picked Gu Yan Ran up and checked her injuries.

When he discovered that Gu Yan Rans dantian was shattered irreparably, he looked at Lou Mu Yan with a vicious glare, You cruel and noxious woman, you dared to destroy ones dantian during the Grand Competition. I want you to pay the price.

He was incredibly angered. Gu Yan Ran was her favourite and most pampered daughter, the most gifted child of their Gu Clan, and was the hope for the rise of the Gu Clan. He poured so much energy into raising his daughter, yet it was now all ruined by Lou Mu Yan. He wasnt reconciled!

Gu Yuan Kais thread of sensibility had been plucked. He raised his arm and a wind blade that carried the strength of a Sword King flew directly towards Lou Mu Yans dantian.

[CLANG!] The wind blade was unexpectedly blocked by a column of water that fell from the sky.

An elegant figure then landed on the battle platform, and said with a cold voice: Gu Yuan Kai, you dare to have such an attitude towards your juniors like this, then could I take this as provoking our Lou Clan?

Lou Mo Yu stood in front of Lou Mu Yan. His elegant and handsome face revealed coldness, while there was killing intent hidden in his eyes.

When Gu Yuan Kai saw Lou Mo Yu stand in front of Lou Mu Yan, an obscure flash of light passed by the depths of his eyes. According to his usual temperament he used to disguise himself, he would never be this impulsive. Just now, it was because he was stimulated by the fact that his daughters dantian had been destroyed.

He tried his best to calm himself down, but he really couldnt swallow the anger, Then did the Lou Clan have the right to ruin others dantian so uninhibitedly? Such viciousness, this one, Gu, sure has been taught something.

Then Gu Yuan Kai raised his head to look at the seats of the superiors and continued indignantly: Principal, a student like Lou Mu Yan who disregarded the rules and destroyed ones dantian and foundation should be expelled.

His daughter was trash and could no longer obtain a spot in the Trial, but he wouldnt let Lou Mu Yan obtain it either.

Ruan Li didnt expect that Gu Yuan Kiai would link this issue to the rules of the Grand Competition. His eyebrows knitted together tightly, and he fell into deep thought.

He naturally didnt want to touch Lou Mu Yan, but what she did today was indeed a bit too much. She destroyed Gu Yan Rans dantian in public. If it was outside of the Academy, then it wasnt an issue, but since it occurred inside the Academy, he feared that it would attract backlash from other students of the Academy.

However, he was more inclined to protect Lou Mu Yan. Even without comparing the value of the two students within this Academy, simply based on the fact that between Gu Yan Rans temperament that pretended to be pure on the outside but was in fact vicious on the inside, or Lou Mu Yans type of ruthlessness, he preferred the latter.

Lou Mu Yan discovered that the Gu Clans most scheming person was definitely this smiling tiger¹, Gu Yuan Kai, who deliberately attempted to describe her as cruel and ruthless to strip her of her spot in the Trial. But he should ask whether she agreed or not.

The rules of the Grand Competition only said that you couldnt harm the others life but didnt say that you couldnt ruin a persons dantian.

Lou Mu Yan sneered indolently: Besides, Gu Yan Ran wanted to kill me first, no? Does Patriarch Gu think that all the people present at this scene are dead? If it were me whose dantian was destroyed, then would you still come out and fight like this?

Before Gu Yuan Kai could refute, Lou Mo Yu said with a cold expression: I think everyone could clearly see the situation earlier during the battle. After Gu Yan Ran let out her Lightning Leopard, every time it attacked, it constantly targeted Yaners face and dantian. You could tell just who was more vicious with a little bit of thought.

After the defeat, Gu Yan Ran even used the support of an external force to increase her strength, and her last attack also attempted to disable Yaner. If it werent that Yaner had enough strength to protect herself, then the person whod be lying on the ground right now with a destroyed dantian wouldve swapped around. Lou Mo Yu suppressed the killing intent in his eyes and returned to his usual elegant and handsome demeanour.

After hearing he words of the Lou father and daughter, many people also began to recall the situation during the previous battle.

From the beginning to the end, Gu Yan Ran was indeed the first to be ruthless, but it was just that she didnt succeed. If it were them, they also wouldnt let go of someone who wholeheartedly wanted to destroy their dantian.

At this time, most people also awoke from the lure in Gu Yuan Kais wordsthey were almost confused by them. It was a natural rule of this world to get revenge on someone who had wronged them. If one allowed another to ride on top of them like horses and urinate on their heads², then they were a wuss.

Many people who felt Lou Mu Yan was vicious now re-examined the situation again and discovered that Gu Yan Ran was indeed suffering from her own actions. Of course, Lou Mu Yan was indeed cruel, but this cruelty was built on top of the principle of dealing with one as they did, or wanted to do, to them.  

After listening to her fathers words, Lou Mu Yan chuckled softly, then looked at Ruan Li and said: Principal, it was Gu Yan Ran who first desired to destroy my dantian, so my hand slipped and accidentally destroyed her dantian. This should be considered self-defence, right? Not to mention, isnt it considered breaking the rules when she forcibly increased her own strength with the help of the Spirit Treasure around her neck? I strongly request the Academy to expel her.

The corner of Ruan Lis eye twitched. Her hand slipped? This girl sure wasnt embarrassed to say such things.

It was obviously deliberate when she sealed Gu Yan Rans dantian with a Void Talisman before. If he didnt guess wrong, if the Void Talisman wasnt broken by that energy, then after two hours, it would completely integrate into Gu Yan Rans dantian and Gu Yan Ran would still become trash.

Astonishment flashed by Gu Yuan Kais eyesLou Mu Yan could actually discover the Spirit Treasure that his daughter carried. She truly couldnt be left alive.

In fact, many people didnt know how Gu Yan Ran suddenly increased her strength. After hearing Lou Mu Yans words, they couldnt help booing.

It was simply too despicable to use a Spirit Treasure to increase ones cultivation base when participating in the Grand Competition. There was simply no fairness in it at all and it was indeed breaking the rules. Who wouldve expected that Gu Yan Ran, who usually displayed gentleness and tenderness, would be this unbearable.

Lou Mu Yan, youre slandering me. Gu Yan Rans dantian was all stirred up and in pain, but when she heard Lou Mu Yan bite back, she couldnt help but berate her.

Lou Mu Yan glanced at her nonchalantly, then looked away with disgust as if having seen something dirty.

She raised her head and looked at Ruan Li firmly and said: Principal, since Gu Yan Ran had broken the rules, then everyone must see how shes held accountable, right? Otherwise, if during future Grand Competitions, other students also followed suit and borrowed external Elemental Energy to raise their cultivation base to battle, then wouldnt the Grand Competition become a competition between how solid the foundations of a distinguished clan were, and whose clan was richer?

Hearing Lou Mu Yans words, many students from ordinary backgrounds showed indignant expressions, and displayed a bit of detest towards Gu Yan Ran.

The rules of the Academys Grand Competition didnt include the rule of punishing a person who destroyed anothers dantian. Lou Mu Yans behaviour was indeed too much, but it was not against the rules.

After some deep consideration, Ruan Li made a decision, and his face revealed gravity, Gu Yan Ran using a Tier 4 Spirit Pet wasnt against the rules either, but using the power of a Spirit Treasure to forcefully advance their cultivation base and strength to battle is indeed a violation of the Academy rules.

His gaze swept over the father and daughter pair from the Gu Clan and continued: Since Gu Yan Rans dantian was accidentally destroyed by Lou Mu Yan, the Academy wont punish her further. You may go home yourself and recuperate.

The meaning of going home to recuperate was obviousshe neednt come back to the Empire Academy in the future. Not saying it clearly was considered giving Gu Clan a way out of this awkward situation.

Ruan Lis words sounded pertinent, but people could still discover that he was partial towards Lou Mu Yan. However, with some thought, it was also understandableone who had been raised by them was now a trash, and one who used to be trash was now a prodigy. Whoever was less important or more important could easily be chosen by anyone who understood the situation.

PU! Gu Yan Rans fury reached her heart when she heard Ruan Lis words, not to mention the injury on her dantian was severe, so she couldnt stop herself from spitting out blood and fainting.

What made the entire world even darker was her last look at Chi Yi Xuan before closing her eyes.

That man stared at Lou Mu Yan with scorching eyes of desire, so fervent that it was so obvious and vivid, while he turned a blind eye to her injuries. This was the man she had loved for many years.

The coldness in her heart accompanied by the blow of having been turned to trash made Gu Yan Ran unable to hold on any longer, and she completely lost consciousness. She only hoped that after waking up, everything that happened today was just a dream.

²of course, its figurative. Simply meaning if one allowed others to do whatever they wanted to them, they were a wuss and weak.
