Huh?
Boxing?
Suspicion lingered in Luo Dan’er’s eyes. “What’s that?”
“It’s when two people get together and fight with their fists.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, your Mother Superior is really amazing. She beat Limuqun so badly he lost his helmet and armor, couldn’t even fight back, and passed out right away.”
“Hmph, but of course.” The moment someone praised Mother Superior, Luo Dan’er’s expression changed in an instant, and she said smugly, “Mother Superior is the most perfect being—how could she possibly lose to someone like Limuqun.”
But her pride didn’t last long before Zuo Qiuli suddenly cried out:
“Hey hey hey! Limuqun actually woke up!”
“He’s still refusing to admit defeat, and now he’s attacking your Mother Superior again!”
“What?” Luo Dan’er instantly tensed up, her petite body drawn taut and straight.
But then Zuo Qiuli continued, “Oh no, this is bad! That Limuqun is actually launching a sneak attack, using Breathless Flurry, ruthlessly throwing punches straight at your Mother Superior’s mouth.”
“So despicable, he actually used a sneak attack!”
The moment she heard that Limuqun dared to sneak attack Mother Superior, Luo Dan’er clenched her fists tight, grinding her teeth and cursing, “Limuqun, you shameless wretch, I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!”
At the same time, she urgently asked, “Zuo Qiuli, how’s the fight? Is Mother Superior hurt?”
But then she heard Zuo Qiuli’s voice, full of shock, murmur:
“Wow, seriously? Is he not afraid of suffocation?”
Suffo… suffocation?
Could it be that Limuqun is strangling Mother Superior, making her unable to breathe?
Despicable! Only a scoundrel would use such dirty tricks!
Luo Dan’er was so anxious she could hardly sit still, wishing she could fly out right now and rush to Mother Superior’s side to wave a flag in support.
But at this very moment, she had no choice but to remain at the Palace Master’s side, unable to leave even a single step.
Damn it, damn it.
She bit her red lip with her pearly teeth, the unwillingness in her eyes almost becoming tangible.
Mother Superior, please forgive Dan’er for not being able to be there to cheer you on.
But Dan’er believes in you. You are sure to win!
While silently cheering for Mother Superior in her heart, she suddenly heard Zuo Qiuli let out a breath and slowly say:
“It’s fine, it’s fine, don’t worry! Your Mother Superior is truly born extraordinary! She actually unleashed the legendary Python Sparrow Swallows Dragon technique, and caught all of Limuqun’s attacks with her mouth.”
Huh? Python Sparrow Swallows Dragon, caught the attacks with her mouth?
Luo Dan’er couldn’t imagine what sort of scene Zuo Qiuli was describing, but in any case, this was good news.
Whew, thank goodness, Mother Superior truly is gifted.
Hmph, Limuqun, against absolute strength, no schemes or tricks are any use!
Her clenched fists loosened a little, and she let out a soft breath.
But before her heart could fully settle, Zuo Qiuli’s next words made it leap back up into her throat.
“Yikes, this isn’t good!”
“Limuqun’s been forced into a corner, and now he’s unleashing two punches at once, aiming straight for your Mother Superior’s weak spots!”
“Weak spots? Where’s that?” Luo Dan’er asked anxiously.
“Uh, don’t worry about that. The situation just isn’t good right now. A left hook, a right hook, and even an uppercut—wow, such vicious moves! I can see your Mother Superior shaking all over, barely able to defend herself!”
“No, that can’t be!” Luo Dan’er immediately panicked, but found it hard to believe.
Mother Superior barely able to defend herself against Limuqun? How could that be possible?
But she heard Zuo Qiuli continue her play-by-play: “Tsk tsk tsk, what a tragic sight. Your Mother Superior is being beaten so badly that she’s drooling—ah, I can hardly bear to watch.”
What?!
Zuo Qiuli’s words made Luo Dan’er’s heart lurch in panic, and she nearly leaped off her meditation cushion.
She pleaded with Zuo Qiuli in a trembling, tearful voice:
“Zuo Qiuli, please, think of something! Help Mother Superior!”
“Sigh, as a fellow woman, I really do want to help your Mother Superior, but Limuqun has strictly forbidden me from interfering!”
Faced with Luo Dan’er’s pleas, Zuo Qiuli sounded helpless and said slowly:
“It’s just, I’m an Orphaned Ghost, rootless and wandering, relying on others for shelter and favor—how could I help? I want to, but I simply don’t have the strength!”
“No, no.” At this point, Luo Dan’er was completely at a loss.
From the Heart Voice, she could constantly hear Mother Superior’s “cries of pain,” and her mind automatically conjured up images of Limuqun raining punches down and Mother Superior struggling in agony.
That damnable, thousand-times-damned Limuqun, he must have used all sorts of dirty tricks to sneak attack Mother Superior and gain the upper hand.
Just imagining Mother Superior’s fair skin beaten red, even with deep fist marks left behind—
—such a scene made her heart ache like it was being stabbed.
“Zuo Qiuli—no, Sister Zuo, Left Immortal, please, I beg you, help Mother Superior!”
She sobbed and pleaded in her heart:
“As long as you help Mother Superior, I’d be willing to be your servant for the rest of my life.”
Hehe.”
On the other end of the Heart Voice, Zuo Qiuli flashed a sly, foxy smile, a look of having her scheme succeed.
The next moment, a sigh came through the Heart Voice, and Zuo Qiuli’s tone was full of forced reluctance, as if she had finally made a difficult decision after much consideration.
“Well, all right then. For Dan’er Sister’s sake, I’ll lend a hand and help your Mother Superior this once!”
With that, she deliberately amplified the Heart Voice transmission, and Luo Dan’er distinctly heard Zuo Qiuli taking a few steps forward—the sound of her footsteps, da da da, was especially clear.
Then, with a crisp “slap” that echoed through the Heart Voice.
The sound was so loud that Luo Dan’er couldn’t help but shiver.
A moment later, Limuqun’s “howl of pain” rang out at her ear.
“Ahhhhhhh!!!”
“Zuo Qiuli, what’s wrong with you! Don’t you see this was the crucial moment!”
“I—I—I can’t take it anymore!”
The slapping sound mixed with Limuqun’s hoarse and low moans.
At the same time, Zuo Qiuli’s voice floated into Luo Dan’er’s mind again:
“Hey hey, Dan’er Sister, did you hear that?”
“I went up and gave Limuqun a big slap! Threw him into confusion, and your Mother Superior took the win.”
“R-really?”
Luo Dan’er perked up, listening intently, and heard that even Mother Superior’s “cries” from the Heart Voice had lessened, gradually turning into satisfied, weak sighs.
“Did Mother Superior win?”
Her heart swayed, and she couldn’t help but ask.
“That’s right! We’ve scored a great victory!” Zuo Qiuli’s words were so firm and convincing that no one could doubt them.
“With my help, your Mother Superior knocked Limuqun to his knees—he can’t get back up again!”
“Right now, she’s off to the side, catching her breath and recovering her strength!”
Wonderful, wonderful!
Luo Dan’er cheered joyfully in her heart.
Mother Superior, Dan’er just knew you wouldn’t lose!
Hmph, Limuqun, you bully who only picks on the weak—got beaten to your knees by Mother Superior.
Mongrel, mongrel, Dan’er will laugh at you forever!
Just thinking of Mother Superior’s glorious victory, even as she sat cross-legged on the cushion pretending to cultivate, Luo Dan’er couldn’t help but puff out her chest with pride.
