The Gu Family bodyguards guarding Lian Jinshang had not waited for Qiao Zui to change his orders before stepping forward, their palms rounding into slaps as one ear-ringing slap after another landed on Lian Jinshang's face.
Lian Jinshang, who cherished her looks above all, felt her cheeks swell after a few slaps, yet Qiao Zui showed not the slightest intent to command a halt. She shrieked, "Qiao Zui, have you gone mad? I've told you, after Gu Junzhu was poisoned with the 'Joy of Reunion,' only I can alleviate his pain! If he does not consummate with me on the full moon night, he will die from the Gu Worms consuming his heart. Do you want to kill him?"
Qiao Zui just looked at her coldly, not saying a word.
The bodyguard's palms were as hard as iron boards, and a dozen more slaps left Lian Jinshang bleeding from her mouth and nose, her face bruised and swollen beyond recognition.
After a few more, Lian Jinshang spat out two teeth with a 'puh'.
