Greatest weapon of all timesMadam Lian was not the only one who was shocked, even the crowd of onlookers and the netizens who were watching the live telecast of the duel were shocked to the core. Because the weapon with which Mo Qiang smacked Madam Lian was neither a sword nor a spear. It was a slipper!
That's right, it was a slipper! And from the size and colour of it, they could see it belonged to an old mer which meant it was a daddy slipper! The greatest weapon of all daddies who wanted to tame their unruly children!
" You... what are you doing?" Madam Lian questioned as she looked at Mo Qiang. It was one thing that she slapped her face but it was coming different thing that she was slapping her face with a slipper! This was humiliating to the max, no matter what others says, this was something that Madam Lian can never accept!
" The reason you grew up so crooked and scheming is that your daddy did not smack you on the bottom when you were a little child, Madam Lian," with an evil smile on her face, Mo Qiang approached Madam Lian while clutching the slipper in her hand tightly. " Don't worry, since your daddy missed handing out some crucial lessons when you were a child, I will lay them down for you. This way you will soon walk on the right path!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Qiang raised the slipper and once again hit the woman in the face with every bit of strength that she could summon.
Whack!
" AHHHH!" It was a profound blow to Madam Lian's face and her dignity. She wanted to stop Mo Qiang but her vision and world were spinning altogether in front of her eyes making it impossible for her to stop Mo Qiang, more importantly, the hit was so harsh that her mind went black.
But even so, Madam Lian did not go down on her knees, she stumbled a few steps back and then raised her head to hatefully glare at Mo Qiang who was smiling down at her as if she was watching a clown making a fool out of herself.
Even though anger was surging inside of her body, Madam Lian quickly grasped the situation in which she was currently in—— this girl, she clearly had a lot of tricks up in her sleeves.
No, she have to think something or else Mo Qiang would make a joke out of her in front of the entire Imperial star! What was more, she knew that even the Empress was watching this live telecast. If she was to lose this duel and that too in the hands of a small street thug then surely, the Empress would start questioning her abilities as well.
This duel she cannot lose!
Madam Lian pushed herself to stand straight as she firmly planted her feet on the ground to make sure that she will not fall. Ignoring the blood which was dripping down from her nose and the numbing yet throbbing sensation inside her mouth which told her that the inner wall of her cheek had spilt, she stared at Mo Qiang steadily.
Her eyes fell on her sword which was still sticking inside the wall of fur and a wave of fury washed over her. To think she was getting embarrassed by getting beaten up by a novice like Mo Qiang.
' This frog in the well sure dared to jump high but I will teach her that no matter how high she jumps, she will always be a frog inside a small well!' Madam Lian thought in her head ruthlessly as she summoned a mega cannon, her left arm glowed as the mecha particles condensed and formed a cannon which was bigger and larger than the one that Chi Chi was holding.
" I was going to treat this duel as a child's play but now it seems that I have to get serious," Madam Lian told Mo Qiang as she spat a mouthful of blood on the ground.
Mo Qiang's eyes fell on the mega canon which Madam Lian had summoned and smirked coldly before saying in a gruff voice, " You are the type of person who set their house on fire for the sake of taking care of an ant, yet you dare make yourself sound so high and mighty? Madam Lian, you sure have no shame." Mo Qiang taunted Madam Lian with a smirk playing on her lips.
Snap.
Madam Lian heard something snap inside of her the second she heard Mo Qiang's taunt. Sure, she had seen many arrogant bastards but Mo Qiang had to rank number one on her list, did she think that just because she landed a hit on the mighty Madam Lian's face, she won this duel? Fat chance!
" I will not let you off for this humiliation!" Madam Lian shouted as she started to shoot one cannon ball after another which was glowing red. However, Mo Qiang was faster than she had expected, no matter how swiftly she shot a cannonball at Mo Qiang, the latter would still dodge it somehow.
As the cannon balls landed on the ground, they formed one crater after another. It was clear from the damage delivered by the cannon balls that Madam Lian was aiming to kill Mo Qiang.
Seeing her panic-stricken and maniacal state forget about the onlookers even Qi Hong was stunned. He stared at the large craters on the ground and then muttered, " This .... Is this okay? It looks like she is trying to kill the daughter of her old friend."
Though Qi Hong wanted Mo Qiang to receive a few hits but he did not wish to see her die! What was Madam Lian thinking? She was using such a grand move against the daughter of her good friend and colleague was she not afraid of falling out with Mo Yan?
" Sometimes when a dog is cornered into a small space it will bite regardless of the person in front of him, he might even bite his master if he is terrified, Hong'er," a gentle voice spoke from behind causing Qi Hong to turn around and look at the old mer who stepped inside his greenhouse.
" Imperial father!"
Sucking the mecha energy----------------
Imperial concubine Qi Yin smiled at his son as he patted Qi Hong's head when the latter rushed to hug him. His gaze fell on the blue screen before he parted his rosy lips and asked, " Are you watching the duel as well, Hong'er?"
"That's right, I wanted to see ...that Qiang woman getting a few hits but——" Qi Hong trailed off and no longer spoke, of course, Qi Yin understood what was going on in the head of his son. After all, he was his father and he had watched Qi Hong grow up in front of him, there was nothing that he couldn't understand after seeing the expression on the face of his son.
" You did not expect that Madam Lian would try to kill Miss Mo, did you?" Qi Yin asked in a sweet voice as he guided his son back to the couch where he was sitting just as Xiao Lin came with an orange-flavoured solution sitting on a tray in a glass to serve him.
Qi Yin took the solution from Xiao Lin before taking a sip as he turned to look at his son who was acting like a baby.
" Hmm, I did not expect that she will fight like this Daddy," Qi Hong narrowed his eyes as he watched Mo Qiang dodge another attack which was aimed right at her heart. " I thought that she will at least withhold a bit of respect for General Mo Yan, even if she is now exiled as a traitor and no longer holds a respectable position, she was once a hero and everyone knows that Madam Mo treats Madam Lian really well. I just think that this is not the way one should repay their benefactor."
A satisfied smile etched on Qi Yin's face when he heard Qi Hong's reply. As the only mer prince of the imperial palace, he was doted on by not only the Empress but even the Emperor along with the princesses because of this Qi Hong's personality was a bit proud and he was hard to get along with.
Because of his personality Qi Hong did not even have any friends, when Qi Yin found out that there was a duel going on between Mo Yan and Wen Gui's daughter and Madam Lian, he hurriedly opened the broadcasting channel and was stupefied by the comments when he saw that majority of the commentators wanted Mo Qiang to die.
He was annoyed and displeased with the shrinking morality and humanity of the people of his star and that was when he remembered that Mo Qiang had harassed his precious, Qi Hong a lot. This was the reason why he came looking for Qi Hong, he wanted to see whether or not his son had sunk into the same abyss as the rest of the netizens but now that he was done listening to Qi Hong's words, he was glad that his son was still better than the rest as he was honouring the teachings which he and his wife had given him.
" You are right about that Hong'er," Qi Yin ran his fingers through Qi Hong's hair and then turned to look at the blue screen as he remarked, " This is what it means to bite the hand which fed her, make sure that you pay attention and learn something from this duel because Madam Lian is surely going to learn a wonderful lesson."
Qi Hong raised his head and looked at Qi Yin, his eyes alight with excitement as he asked, " You mean to say that ...that the Qiang woman is going to win the duel?"
" She is indeed coming at Madam Lian strongly but Hong'er," Qi Yin turned to look at his son whose face was flushed with excitement and asked, " Why are you so happy after hearing that Mo Qiang is going to win? I thought you hated her."
Qi Hong stiffened as he looked away and said, " Who is happy? You are misunderstanding me Imperial Father. I am just glad that Madam Lian's evil plan will not succeed and nothing else ."
" Mhmm, I see," though Qi Yin could see that Qi Hong had some sweet feelings towards Mo Qiang, he did not say anything nor did he give those feelings a name. After all, even if Mo Qiang was good—— she was still a good-for-nothing with no money and status, and she was not good enough for his son who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Though it seems harsh on his side but this was the truth. A mer who was raised with all the comforts from childhood to adulthood will never be able to withstand the discomfort and lack of necessities after getting married, even if love was a sweet feeling it cannot fill one's stomach when they were feeling hungry.
Even if his son was to pursue these feelings and somehow marry Mo Qiang, with his personality he will divorce Mo Qiang in just a few months because he cannot withstand pain and discomfort.
So it was better for these feelings that he was having towards Mo Qiang to be nipped in the bud before they can even bloom. After all, short-term pain is better than long-term pain.
"It's good that you still have your head intact on your shoulders, Hong'er," remarked Qi Yin as he turned his head to look at the duel. " Because if you were to feel something for Miss Mo, then your mother and sisters will make her disappear from the face of this world."
Since she was not deserving of you.
Qi Yin did not say the latter half but Qi Hong understood what his father was saying and stiffened, his hands clenched in his laps instinctively and he pursed his lips tightly.
Well, of course, his head was on his shoulders. There was no way he will fall for someone like Mo Qiang. Ever.
.....
On the other hand, Mo Qiang did not know that she was being looked down on, she was busy dodging the attacks which Madam Lian was aiming at her way. Or more like sucking the mecha energy from the canon balls which were aimed at her—— though the wall of fur looked like a simple wall, it was a great defence mechanism which could suck even the smallest bit of mecha energy as long as it was released in the surrounding.
This was something that Madam Lian sensed as well because she started to feel her power ebb away bit by bit from her mecha core causing her pace to slow down.
" What the hell are you doing?"
Extra chapter —-1
————————
Madam Lian could not believe her eyes, she never expected that the toad upon whom she always looked down would beat her up like this!
And to make matter worse she was even sucking her mecha energy making her so dizzy that she couldn't even stand on her feet!
" What am I doing?" Mo Qiang raised her eyebrows with a questioning look on her face as if she was pondering what to say but then her questioning expression slipped off her face and replacing it was an expression which made Madam Lian's blood boil.
" Jeez, I am just doing what you always blamed me for, Madam Lian," with her eyes and lips curled in a crescent shape, Mo Qiang smirked at Madam Lian. " I am sucking your energy like a leech, did you not make me popular by calling me a leech on the Internet?"
This was Chi Chi's special skill which she got from the previous level up.
Giant appetite.
Though those small and dainty chinchillas of her world couldn't even eat anything past a certain limit. Her Chi Chi was different, he was a bottomless pit which meant that no matter how much mecha energy he sucked inside his fur he would not explode.
Heh.
This meant that the more Madam Lian struggled the more mecha energy Chi Chi will absorb. And the more mecha energy he sucked, the faster those crops which she was going to sow in her land will grow!
" You b*tch..." Madam Lian coughed up blood as she glared at Mo Qiang. If looks could kill then Mo Qiang would be six feet under the ground by now!
" You really don't learn your lesson, do you, Madam Lian?" Mo Qiang hummed as she raised the slipper in her hand and then smacked it on the nose of Madam Lian.
If possible, Mo Qiang wanted to use the hoe which she had specially asked Mo Xifeng to order from the weapon smith of the army who was responsible for making specialized weapons to make.
But she thought that Madam Lian's blood was too dirty and it would be bad luck if she used her newly delivered hoe. Which was why she purposely picked up an old slipper of Wen Gui from the cabinet of shoes and came to the training grounds.
Crunch.
The sound of a bone breaking echoed in the surrounding causing many mers and women to cover their noses.
" Ugh, I am going to listen to my father from now on," said one woman.
"Uh-huh, I think I too will make sure that my daddy doesn't get angry at me ...that slipper looks like it will hurt a lot," chimed in another woman as she cupped her nose.
While the mer next to her shivered uncontrollably. Why? Because his daddy owned the same slippers!
Damn! Looks like he needed to get back to his studies sincerely all else, he will be subjected to that torture as well!
All the children and young ones in the crowd were terrified while the adults seemed to have reached another level of epiphany.
" Ah!" While the onlookers were busy in their own thoughts, Madam Lian was getting pummeled by Mo Qiang.
While Madam Lian became more and more slow, Mo Qiang's movements became even more persistent.
" Actually I was worried that I wouldn't be able to process all of your mecha energy... but I have to thank you for fooling around the entire time, Madam Lian!" Mo Qiang wiped her sweat as she rolled her arms.
She was feeling a bit sore after hitting Madam Lian so many times.
" You...You stay away," Madam Lian was going crazy, her head was getting dizzier by the minute and her vision was becoming blurry by the minute.
She never imagined being beaten by this good for nothing like this, not once.
' This b*tch, how is she sucking my mecha energy so easily and even condensing it without breaking a sweat?'
Madam Lian would have never expected that Mo Qiang would share the burden with Chi Chi. The one who was sucking the mecha energy was Chi Chi and the one who was processing it while condensing the energy was Mo Qiang because of this neither Chi Chi nor Mo Qiang's heart was burdened.
" You..." fraud.
Madam Lian wanted to say that it was unfair, she wanted to counterattack but couldn't. The day where she was supposed to become victorious turned around to make her look like a loser.
" Heh, is that all that you have got, Madam Lian?" Mo Qiang sneered as she continued to hit the woman in front of her. The more Madam Lian refused to go down on their knees, the more vicious Mo Qiang's attacks became but no one called her cruel, why?
It was simple.
The weapon she was using was a small, bunny slipper with fur on it.
Compared to Madam Lian who used a sword, gun and cannon on her. This small slipper looked like a small needle in the face of the sword but because Mo Qiang was using the king of the jungle feature in her control panel.
Each hit of this slipper was similar to getting smacked by a plate of hundred tons!
However, no one knew that she was pulling such a sneaky move. They all thought that she was just moving her arm left and right—— it was incredibly fun.
Didn't this woman scheme against Mo Yan? Acting all innocent and crying over milk which never got spilt? Making others sympathetic towards her? Then Mo Qiang was going to show her what it feels like to be getting schemed against!
How one's heart hurts when no one believes what she was saying!
For three weeks, Madam Lian did not train. She was convinced that she was going to win this duel but Mo Qiang never rested.
Not even for a minute.
Throughout the entire course of three months, she worked hard and made all sorts of plans and preparations to make sure that she was going to win.
Each day, Mo Qiang spent analyzing every move of Madam Lian which was why she was fully prepared for every fluctuating situation!
" Stop it hurts!" Madam Lian screamed as the slipper moved forward swiftly.
Just as Mo Qiang predicted no one believed Madam Lian. In their eyes even if Mo Qiang was using all her strength, how bad could the hits of a slipper be? And even if the slipper was hurting ——
Was it because Mo Qiang was too strong? Or was it because Madam Lian was too weak?
Mo Qiang smiled when she saw the change in the gazes of the onlookers as she threw the slipper in the air and started to condense the mecha energy which she had sucked from Madam Lian and instilled inside the slipper.
So, this was how it felt to have a mecha energy? Mo Qiang thought as she felt a surge of warm current which seemed to be filled with sparks moving across her veins and inside her blood.
It was truly amazing.
" Now, it's time to end it all, Madam Lian," she said as Mo Qiang finished instilling mana in the slipper-like Madam Lian and brought it down heavily on the face of the woman.
Today will be the end of this traitor!
Jiggly jelliesSince Mo Qiang decided that she was going to clean the rotten roots, she did not hesitate before attacking Madam Lian. With her hand raised high, with the slipper brimming with mecha energy, Mo Qiang brought it down and slapped Madam Lian across her face harshly.
Her slipper slap was so strong that the flesh on Madam Lian's face moved and quivered before her head turned to a side and she was sent flying back. This time her momentum did not die down even when she hit the ground, like a pebble thrown across the surface of the water in a pond, Madam Lian's body skipped on the ground. It rose and fell before coming to a stop as Madam Lian's body smashed against the railing which was fenced across the entire training ground.
' How...how is this possible?' Madam Lian who was sent flying across the training ground was speechless and stupefied.
Her rosy future had been drawn, she was going to go back to the imperial star and start living the life which she thought she deserved. Madam Lian was a high-ranking official of the army under Mo Yan, with her position she could have made a lot of money and maybe even a few connections which she could pull at anytime but ——
Mo Yan was such an honest and straightforward woman that she did not even think of accepting bribes or lowering her head in front of those rich ministers. Because Mo Yan was so stern regarding her anti-bribery campaign, she offended many officials including the one in the military —— and because Madam Lian was under her, not many were willing to accept her either.
Many officials took Madam Lian as their enemy just because she was Mo Yan's right-hand woman. When Madam Lian kicked the woman who saved Mo Yan's life to the curb and took all the credits which belonged to that woman, she only wanted to enjoy a comfortable life but once she got a taste of the life of the comforts and luxury. She wanted more...much more comfort and money.
That was when she started to get dissatisfied with Mo Yan.
She wanted to be successful and live a life of luxury and powerful connections which will help her at any moment.
However, she couldn't get rid of the title of Mo Yan's right arm.
After all, she had already pledged her loyalty to Mo Yan by becoming her saviour. If she suddenly changed her loyalty and jumped into another team then all kinds of rumours would have popped up—— some might even start digging into the past which she had buried after such harsh labour. Once the truth came out then she would be ostracized no matter where she went, maybe she might even get kicked out of the army because a disloyal soldier was like bedsore which needed to be cut off as soon as possible.
A soldier who betrayed his leader could also betray the country to which she belonged—— this was what the Empress believed and if the truth about her lies and whatnot were to come out then she would surely be kicked out of the army and maybe all her properties might also be snatched back.
So, when Madam Wei told her to betray Mo Yan in exchange for money and power—— Madam Lian did not think twice. As long as Mo Yan was declared a traitor, she could leave her at any moment as long as the opportunity was handed to her.
That was Madam Lian's plan. To abandon Mo Yan at the right moment—— and she was going to do it just after she won the duel but her entire plan went down the drain because of a woman whom she never took seriously!
Can someone explain to her, why she was sent flying by a woman who did not even know how to carry a sword properly?
Madam Lian was lying on the ground like she was dead but then Mo Qiang who was standing a bit far from her came to stand in front of her. Hatred surged inside Madam Lian's eyes as she looked at the woman who was standing beside her.
She thought that Mo Qiang was here to taunt her but instead of taunting her —— that brat slapped her with a slipper again!
" W..What are you doing?" Madam Lian was stunned as she received a smack on her face. She tried to stand up but with every bit of mecha energy sucked from her body, she was like a fish on a chopping board waiting to be chopped up —— even when she tried to get up, she couldn't do it.
" What am I doing?" Mo Qiang's face crumpled with annoyance as she kicked Madam Lian just like how she kicked the predecessor of this body in the chest and answered, " I am handing out justice!"
" You... I have already lost the duel! So stop humiliating me like this!" Madam Lian yelled and what she said was indeed the truth. She was on the ground with no energy to get back on her feet, as long as her knees hit the ground —— Mo Qiang's victory was certain which was why she did not understand why Mo Qiang was kicking and hitting her like this?
" Heh, did you not think it was humiliating when you spat on this face?" Mo Qiang questioned back as she rolled Madam Lian on her stomach and then crouched down before she pushed her shirt aside and started smacking her butt with the slipper. " I am going to teach you all the lessons on humility, humanity and morality which your father did not teach you! Just shut up and take it!"
" S...Stop...Stop! I am your elder!" Madam Lian had never suffered like this before even her daddy did not dare to hit her on the bottom like this but now this brat who was still green behind her ear was smacking her butt like she had every right to!
" Who is the elder here huh? I only see a mommy! And that mommy is me! I am your mother! You old hag!" Mo Qiang had been long stifling the anger and injustice inside her heart, now that she finally had the opportunity to let it out, she was not going to let it go so easily!
Jiggly jellies ——2---------------------------
Madam Lian screamed like she was a pig which was getting butchered. She asked Mo Qiang to stop again and again but after a few minutes, the latter seemed to have gotten tired of replying to her—— she only focussed on hitting her which made Madam Lian so angry that she coughed out blood.
" My...My bottom is going to bleed if you continue...like this.." Madam Lian croaked while desperately looking at Mo Yan and signing her to put a stop to Mo Qiang's madness. She had lost all dignity and face, which was enough of a punishment in Madam Lian's eyes, so why was she getting smacked so hard that her peach was turning into a watermelon?
" Heh, compared to what you have done this is nothing!" Mo Qiang snapped angrily, not even an ounce of her anger had been eased as she continued to hit the woman who was struggling to get away from her. Because of Madam Lian, a life was lost even though Mo Qiang was a good for nothing —— she was still a wife and daughter if she did not transmigrate to this world, who knows what might have happened to the Mo family!
Maybe more than one life would have been lost! Though Wen Gui was a bit awkward he truly loved his daughter, he couldn't have survived without Mo Qiang and even Mo Yan would have died, though she was a hard-headed woman. Mo Qiang had noticed that she truly cared for Mo Qiang and loved Wen Gui a lot —— if something happened to the two of them, Mo Yan would have died and that too out of guilt.
As Mo Xifeng, that silly girl who cared about her family more than anything and craved for the warmth of family... she would have died while avenging Mo Qiang and Mo family without a question.
Mo Qiang did not know what would have happened to the mers but their end wouldn't have been pretty either.
Madam Lian wanted the lives of all the Mo family members.
But she was only making her bottom bleed a little, can these two things be even compared? No, they cannot be!
Thus, even though Mo Qiang won the duel, she continued to hit Madam Lian until her pants were torn and her bottom was in full view for others to see as she continued to hit the flesh hoping to make it bleed!
" Sister Yan! Please help me!" At this moment, Madam Lian no longer cared about her face. After all, her bottom was seen by everyone—— all the face that she had was lost already the second she lost to Mo Qiang, so who cared whether or not she begged Mo Yan or not?
At this moment, only Mo Yan was the one who could help her.
Because Madam Lian was in a desperate situation she completely forgot that she had long betrayed Mo Yan and the latter did not have any obligation to save her but even so, but Mo Yan did not know that Madam Lian had long betrayed her which was why she parted her lips and then shouted in a voice which was full of authority,
" Mo Qiang, stop these foolish actions right this instant! You have won already! And please cover Madam Lian's bottom!" While Mo Yan was speaking, she was covering Wen Gui's ignoring the pinches which the latter was giving her because she wasn't allowing him to watch such an 'exciting sight' but how can she allow her beloved to see another woman's bottom?
The mers next to her also had their eyes covered but once in a while they would peek and blush upon seeing what kind of situation Madam Lian was in but given how the latter always made snide remarks about them, they were fully satisfied.
Beside them, Mo Xifeng was recording the show on her monitor with a blank look on her face causing Mo Yan to be speechless as she turned to look at her second daughter and said, " And can you please stop recording and stop your sister?"
" I suddenly have a cramp in my leg which is why I cannot move my feet for the time being," Mo Xifeng replied to her mother as she made no movement to stop her sister. What a joke?! This was something that she had been waiting to see for years, how can she let Madam Lian's embarrassment end just like this?
Mo Yan: "...."
In the end, she could turn to her soldiers and ask them to drag Mo Qiang away but as soon as Mo Qiang sensed the soldiers coming close to her. She dropped her slippers and raised her hands in surrender and said, " All right, I am not going to smack her bottom anymore!"
Everyone in the crowd thought that Mo Qiang was scared because of her mother's authority. After all, Mo Qiang was just a hooligan and her mother was the ex-general —— thus her fearing Mo Yan and her authority was something that they all expected.
No matter how strong Mo Qiang might have become she still needed to listen to her mother who was an S-grade mecha morph. Thus, when they all saw Mo Qiang stop and throw the slipper away, they were not surprised since they all already assumed it to happen but just as they thought that Mo Qiang was done embarrassing Madam Lian ——
The latter raised her feet which were clad in sharp heels that seemed to be as pointy as needles and then ——
Bang! She jumped right on the two jiggly jellies of Madam Lian.
" AHHHHHH!" Madam Lian screamed in pain, her eyes turned red as her pupils rolled in her sockets and she fainted.
As for the crowd who saw Madam Lian's bottom getting pierced by those sharp heels and blood gushing out of those holes—— all shivered in fright. Dangerous....this woman was not only crazy she was dangerous as heck!
" MO YAN QIANG!" Mo Yan roared from the other side of the training ground feeling angered and annoyed by her daughter's antics. Was this how her daughter who was also the eldest supposed to act?
" What? I did not smack her? I jumped on her bottom! I followed your orders, General Mo!"
Extra chapter ——2Mo Qiang shrugged her shoulders as she ignored the glare which was pointed at her by Mo Yan.
With her back bent doubled, she undid the hooks of her shoes as she took off her heels and walked on the ground barefooted. That's right, she did not take the heels which were stuck inches deep inside Madam Lian's bottom but instead simply took them off her feet and left them to rot inside the flesh in which they were now stuck——
She turned to look at the heels which were standing tall on the bottom of Madam Lian and nodded in satisfaction, looks like all those hours she spent sharpening the edge of these heels were worth it. They glided inside the fleshy bottom of Madam Lian so easily, it was simply amazing! Like a hot knife cutting a block of butter in half without any trouble at all!
Mo Qiang was satisfied but everyone else was terrified.
Even though Madam Lian had long fainted because of the piercing pain in her bottom, she was still whimpering unconsciously. Those whimpers of hers were echoing in the cochlea of the onlookers making them nervous and scared, as they started to run their hands on their bottom fearing that they will be the next one whose bottom would be pierced next by that crazy demon!
However, the onlookers along with the netizens thought that Mo Qiang had gone too far and they did not stay quiet either to hide their discomfort, in fact, they became more and more vociferous.
" I told you, that woman cannot change. Look at that, look at what she did to Madam Lian. No matter what, Madam Lian is her elder and she was the one who was in the wrong from the beginning, so who is she trying to show off?"
"That's right, Madam Lian was only fighting for her husband's honour! What makes Mo Qiang treat that poor woman like this after she had smudged the honour of Master Su by touching him inappropriately?"
The women in the crowd became upset upon seeing Madam Lian whom they admired getting embarrassed like this while the mers were disappointed to see that someone like Mo Qiang not getting beaten up.
How can reality play them like this? Mo Qiang was disgusting as well as revolting she dared to touch them all the time without any restraint while whistling and making vulgar remarks.
She deserved to be beaten up and it should have been Madam Lian who should have won but instead, it was Mo Qiang who came out victorious. How can they accept it ?!
The mers and women in the crowd were still a bit restrained since they were also exiled because of some small crimes and did not have the right to condemn Mo Yan who was better than them as she had laid her life down for the country many times before betraying the country.
But the netizens who hid behind the screen were like paper tigers, when they saw Mo Qiang win they went silent but upon seeing Mo Qiang's disrespectful actions, they seemed to have eaten the gall of a leopard.
They ignored the results of the duel and then started to ask for Mo Qiang's execution, their reason was simple, Mo Qiang had insulted an honourable woman who brought security and glory to their country.
Almost all the netizens started to tag the imperial family and the Empress, Fu Zhao to announce the death penalty to Mo Qiang for dishonouring their hero as well as their elder whom they watched while growing up.
Some even called her a white-eyed wolf and called her names for harming the woman who saved her mother. And since Mo Qiang was Mo Yan's daughter, these netizens dragged Mo Yan together with her and claimed that they wanted to see the entire family getting executed and that too on live television!
Mo Qiang stared at the clamouring crowd as her gaze continued to get colder and colder.
' Was she unfair? Did it seem like she went too far, maybe that was the truth in the eyes of others. But did she regret any single one of her actions? The answer was no.'
Since Madam Lian turned her back on someone like Mo Yan who trusted her without any qualms, hitting her face was the kindest punishment she could come up with, in fact, what she did was still not comparable to what Madam Lian did to Mo Yan.
From betrayal to sucking Mo Yan's hard-earned money which she stole after joining hands with the compensation collectors.
Madam Lian had done everything to bring Mo Yan down!
Thus, hitting her was only right but of course, these were Mo Qiang's honest feelings.
Was she still supposed to let Madam Lian off easily? Just because she was an elder and someone who 'supposedly' saved her mother? Sorry, this was something that Mo Qiang could not do.
After all, Mo Qiang had met trashy people like Madam Lian a lot in her past life. When she started to work in the company, she was just a small assistant—— because she was an orphan who worked hard to climb up the stairs to success, nobody took her seriously.
Back then she was helped by a senior officer of the company, Mo Qiang thought that the man was sincerely helping her but that was until he deliberately approached her when she was alone and tried to take advantage of her.
As a young woman, her first reaction was to complain to the HR where she was told that they will take strict action against the old man who tried to grope her even the old man was apologetic as he sang tales of feeling guilty and how he would surely repent.
Mo Qiang lacked experience back then which was why she did not take the matter to heart but the next day when she arrived at the company, the situation suddenly took a U-turn and the old man became a victim of blackmail and she became the culprit.
That was when she understood that those with a vile heart can never repent, they knew how to speak sweet words but that was the end of it.
So, as a hot-headed woman who lacked experience, she did what anyone would do—— she beat the old man until he couldn't stand on his feet and was even sent to prison for a few weeks but Mo Qiang did not mind it because as a woman, she was used to carrying a recorder and ended up recording everything that the old man said... which proved her innocent.
Madam Lian was the same kind of person as that old man, since she had a vile heart she will never repent honestly. Not until she sees her coffin but it was all right because she was not waiting for her to repent either. She was going to take charge in her hands as Mo Qiang had already decided on the bow that she was going to put on Madam Lian's coffin!
Dragging the matter to stir the feelingsMo Qiang looked down at the woman who was pretending to be unconscious and scoffed before she raised her feet and brought it down heavily on the bottom of Madam Lian on the heel which was only half length inside.
"How long are you going to act like you are dead? Get up! I haven't even trampled you to death as you used to when I was drunk and dizzy without knowing what was happening to me. Didn't it feel good? Did you not think that it was fun? So why are you acting like a coward now that you have to face the consequences? Cut the crap and stand up on your feet! I am not done dealing with you, yet!" Mo Qiang scolded Madam Lian while stomping on the bleeding back of the woman once again.
Madam Lian felt another round of terrible pain which made her tear up shoot through her spine but she still did not open her eyes. Even though she was lying on the ground with her eyes closed, Madam Lian could hear everything that the crowd was saying.
With her sharp senses, Madam Lian was able to pick up the scoldings which were aimed at Mo Qiang for her outrageous actions and realised that there was indeed a chance to turn this situation around.
What Mo Qiang did was indeed too humiliating and since she was a hero of the imperial star who saved the country many times, the netizens and the people will definitely stand by her side!
Maybe as long as she allowed Mo Qiang to embarrass her even more, the Empress might announce instant execution for Mo Qiang!
Hehe, she was so smart. So what if her bottom felt like it was going to be split into four halves? This was still nothing compared to the injuries that she got when Madam Lian went to fight Zergs.
This pain, for the sake of watching Mo Qiang's decapitated body, she can still withstand!
Only a fool will get up under these circumstances!
Since neither of them was wearing a microphone and the training ground was covered with silencers, no one could hear what Mo Qiang was saying but they could see that she was still kicking Madam Lian, without the slightest bit of repentance in her eyes!
This only caused the crowd to become even more fervent in scolding Mo Qiang.
The scolding of the crowd became so intense that even Mo Xifeng started to worry a little. She looked at her sister who was stomping on the heels causing the pointed edges of those heels to go even deeper inside Madam Lian's bottom and hoped that Mo Qiang had a plan to turn the situation around because if she didn't have a plan, then their family will surely suffer a loss this time around.
" What is she doing?" Shao Hui asked Xie Jie and Yin Fu. He was a bit nervous after he saw the comments and the anger of the crowd, with this pace it wouldn't be long before the crowd breaks the railing and rush inside to beat them up!
Xie Jie did not say anything, he stared at Mo Qiang's confident expression which did not have the smallest bit of worry and clenched his hands. For the love of God, this woman should have a very good idea regarding what she was doing because if she made a mess then he will not forgive her!
" I believe her," Only Yin Fu was willing to put his trust in Mo Qiang as he turned to look at Xie Jie and Shao Hui. He noticed the shock and disbelieving expressions of the two mers and then smiled before offering them a look of encouragement, " Though Qiang seems to be acting rashly, haven't you noticed the change in her? She wouldn't do anything unless she was hundred per cent confident that she would execute it with finesse?"
This was something that Xie Jie and Shao Hui had indeed noticed but —— this was Madam Lian! The hero and the woman, admired by the masses, how can Mo Qiang turn the situation around after piercing the butt of a hero as if she was piercing a chicken breast for barbecue?
" Mo Qiang! Did you not hear me when I said stop!?" Mo Yan could no longer sit still, she sensed the change in the emotions of the crowd the second Mo Qiang caused Madam Lian to bleed.
A part of her was confused as she couldn't understand how Mo Qiang who used to adore Madam Lian to the point that she listened to everything that the latter said to her, started to hate Madam Lian that she even caused such a humiliating injury to the woman she idolized?
Mo Yan was also suspicious about Madam Lian, she knew that her daughter had been clear about her likes and dislikes from the start. Mo Qiang wouldn't just start hating someone without a reason but even though Mo Yan was suspicious, with the current situation where the crowd was getting out of control, there was little to nothing that she could do to Madam Lian!
If she was to question Madam Lian, the netizens as well as the onlookers would think that she was standing up for Mo Qiang. Which was Mo Yan could only stop Mo Qiang by asking her soldiers to pull her away from Madam Lian.
But unfortunately for both Madam Lian and Mo Yan, these two soldiers were the ones who were bullied by Madam Lian quite often. She called them names and whipped them in the back when she was angry in the name of training, thus when these two soldiers saw Mo Qiang beating Madam Lian up, they did not pull her back seriously instead they 'accidentally' let go of Mo Qiang and allowed her to drill the heels until they were completely inside the bottom of Madam Lian.
"Mo Qiang!" Mo Yan roared and this time her voice was full of mecha energy which made Mo Qiang flinch as she raised her hands in the air and said, " All right you win."
" What do you mean by ' you win'? Do you have any awareness of what you have done?" Mo Yan was so furious that she wished that she could smack her daughter's bottom like she did when Mo Qiang was young. This girl, she was getting more and more out of hand!
--------------------
Dragging the matter to stir the feelings—-2" Of course, I am absolutely aware of what I am doing," Mo Qiang replied as she wiped her leg which had a few specks of Madam Lian's blood. But as she was wiping her feet, she noticed that because she was standing in the open with no shoes, small blisters seemed to have started to form because of the poisonous air and dust which was billowing in the training grounds.
Seeing the ugly blisters, she turned to look at the soldiers and asked, " Can you bring me a pair of shoes? My feet are getting blisters which seemed to be hurting a lot. Thanks."
Blisters? Were hurting a lot?
The crowd of onlookers and Mo Yan were dumbfounded, as they looked at Mo Qiang who was acting way too calm. Was she not aware of the situation she was in? She slapped a war hero in her face and then planted her heels inside Madam Lian's bottom. This was a set of very serious actions! How can she still worry about the blisters on her feet? If she was going to worry about blisters then she should worry about Madam Lian whose mask was knocked away by her slap and now her entire face was covered in blisters!
Sensing the disapproval and dissatisfaction of the crowd, Mo Yan rubbed her forehead before turning off the silencers to make sure that everyone could hear what they were talking about lest they thought that she was standing up for Mo Qiang in a biased manner.
And then said reproachfully, " If you are aware of what you are doing then why haven't you pulled those heels out of Madam Lian's bottom? Do you think you have not made enough of a joke out of this situation? How can you treat Madam Lian like this!? Hurry up and take those heels out!"
" I would love to follow your order General Mo but I can't do that," Mo Qiang poked out her pinky and used it to clean her ear as she listened to Mo Yan's shouts. The reason she dragged this matter for so long was that she wanted the emotions of Mo Yan and everyone else to be stirred up, only then will it feel nice to smack them with facts and turn the situation around completely.
" What do you mean by you cannot do it?" Mo Yan thought that Mo Qiang was once again stirring up trouble, since her daughter was the number one sh*t stirrer of this star as well as the imperial star she was not surprised that Mo Qiang was back to her old ways.
" Because I applied super king of kings glue on those heels, General Mo... unless you take Madam Lian to a hospital those heels are going to stick in her butt forever," Mo Qiang explained patiently, since she wanted to deal with Madam Lian properly, what fun was it if those heels came out as smoothly as they went inside? There had to be a kind of twist!
What was more she wanted Madam Lian to regret not getting up on her feet and scheming against her even when Madam Lian was at the doors of death.
Sure enough, when Mo Qiang said that she had used the king of Kings super glue on those heels, Madam Lian's eyes snapped open. Seeing this Mo Qiang gasped and then exclaimed, " Aiya looks like Madam Lian is awake!"
The crowd as well as Mo Yan turned to look at Madam Lian but because Madam Lian was now riding a tiger which she cannot jump down from anymore, she closed her eyes once again pretending to be dead to the world.
Just you wait Mo Qiang, once everything gets over. I will play football with your head after you get beheaded!
She will definitely make Mo Qiang suffer and regret everything that she had done to her today!
Anger immediately surged inside Mo Yan's eyes when she saw that Madam Lian was still unconscious. She turned to look at Mo Qiang and then scolded her fiercely,
" You ...have you lost your mind? You are dishonouring your elder as well as the war hero who once almost lost her life while saving our galaxy! What's more, Madam Lian is my good friend and comrade, one whom I respect a lot and the woman who saved my life, how can you ...how can you treat her like this?"
" Yes she is really your good friend and comrade, she is such a good friend that she betrayed you and then framed you for something that you did not do causing you and your family to be thrown in this rotten star where you are spat on and scolded every day while she lives in comfort by shaking hands with those who brings you pain." Mo Qiang sneered coldly, she did not lower her voice which caused her voice to reverberate in the training grounds.
This time not only Mo Yan paused even the crowd who was shouting for Mo Qiang to be executed on the spot paused. Even the commentators who were busy scolding Mo Qiang ended up stopping, the second they heard what Mo Qiang had just announced.
Madam Lian betrayed Mo Yan and framed her for doing something she did not do. What nonsense was Mo Qiang even saying, has she completely lost her mind?!
Mo Xifeng on the other hand clenched her fingers tightly when she heard Mo Qiang's words. Did Mo Qiang find the evidence? But how? She had been trying to sneak inside Madam Lian's house for ages but that woman was really careful, she did not give her a slip to sneak inside the house which belonged to her.
She as a mecha morph could not do it —— so how come Mo Qiang snuck inside Madam Lian's house?
The same question was echoing in Madam Lian's head.
When she heard Mo Qiang announce to the world that she had betrayed Mo Yan, Madam Lian instinctively stiffened but then she calmed down. There was no way, she had used all sorts of passcodes and programs to safeguard her house and what was more her laptop was specially designed for her which was gifted to her by Madam Lian, unless it was her who was sitting in front of it, the laptop will never open!
Mo Qiang must be bluffing!
The truth is out ——" You are lying!" One of the women in the crowd suddenly spoke up as she glared at Mo Qiang. She was sent to the dead star because she once worked under a corrupt official and she helped that Official in doing a lot of tax invasions, but then their actions caught the attention of the authorities. The official was killed on the spot while she and her family were sent to this rotten place by the authorities.
Back then it was Madam Lian who escorted her family to the mecha craft which was leaving for the dead star and not only was she polite she even stopped those who were acting harshly towards her. Till now she hadn't forgotten how Madam Lian protected her from the raining red stones!
" You want to clean the stain on your mother's name which is why you are lying and trying to pit Madam Lian! Mo Qiang, you are shameless!"
"That's right you are lying!"
' Heh that fool,' Madam Lian sneered inside her head as she heard the angry voices which were coming from the crowd. She had been pretending to be kind and helpful in the eyes of the public for so long that even if Mo Qiang was to die while screaming that she was a traitor no one would believe it.
Behind the closed door, she might have acted like a maniac who hit and brainwashed her husband all day long but once she stepped outside, Madam Lian remembered to keep a polite and helpful appearance, not once she had slipped up, which was why she was not afraid that anyone was going to doubt her.
Even Mo Yan was taken aback. She looked at Mo Qiang and was bewildered beyond her reasoning.
What the hell was Mo Qiang talking about? Madam Lian, the woman whom she trusted like the back of her hand betrayed her? How was it possible? Madam Lian saved her!
" What you don't believe me?" Mo Qiang arched a brow as she turned to look at Mo Yan when she saw that her mother still couldn't believe her. She had to admit that Mo Yan was quite a trusting person, the signs were scattered all over but because Mo Yan trusted Madam Lian too much, she was willing to unconsciously turn a blind eye to everything.
" I ...That...how..." Mo Yan for the first time did not know what to say anymore, seeing her like this Mo Qiang was not surprised.
She smiled but that smile did not reach her eyes.
And then took the heels which the soldier brought back with her and strapped them on before turning around and heading straight to the stage where she snatched the microphone from the announcer and then said, " Madam Lian, are you sure that you want to play dead? If you stand up and confess then I will go easy on you."
Of course, Madam Lian did not believe a word which was coming out of Mo Qiang's mouth which was why she continued to play dead.
" Fine, just so you know I chose a coffin with bright yellow colour, I hope you like it," when Mo Qiang saw that Madam Lian was not willing to come clean, she turned to the big screen which was playing the live telecast of what was happening in the training ground and then took out a Bluetooth mini monitor and connected it to the big screen television. "Let's rock and roll my little naive babies. Feast on the evidence that I have collected and open your eyes!"
Amid the confusion, the big screen lit up with an email. At first, no one understood what was going on but that was until they saw the email address which was displayed on it, it was the IP address.
And when many searched for that IP address, it showed Madam Lian's house address.
" I was worried that you all will question the authenticity of this email which is why I took the liberty to broadcast the IP address as well, if even after this you still question my evidence then you might as come to me, and I will gouge those dog eyes out and feed it to my chickens," Mo Qiang announced with a smile on her though that smile was brilliant as those spotlights which the idols used, everyone felt a shiver dance down their spine.
But what Mo Qiang said was indeed right with such an explosive email displayed along with the IP address which clearly belonged to Madam Lian along with the time and date, if someone was to still call it fake then they might as well donate their eyes since it was ironclad proof!
" Thi...This ...this is ... Madam L...Lian?" Mo Yan felt her hands shake as she read the email.
It was an email from a few months ago when she was asked to go to the war front, in the email it was clearly stated that the sender wanted Madam Lian to deliberately cause harm to the mecha craft which the imperial star gave to Mo Yan's team and cause their team to be defeated, furthermore, the email also explained how to transfer an inexplicable sum of money in Mo Yan's account with a dummy account to make it look like she betrayed the country.
The email was not shocking, but the reply underneath was as Madam Lian wrote ——Sure got it, Mo Yan will be under the rubble but don't forget me, Madam.
" Oh My..." Mo Yan felt her head swoon but just as she stumbled Mo Xifeng came flying from the other side of the training field and then caught her mother from falling on the ground.
" Mother, get a grip of yourself," Mo Xifeng told Mo Yan who almost fainted after seeing the email.
" Is this all that it takes for you to faint, General Mo?" Mo Qiang turned to look at Mo Yan while playing with the Bluetooth monitor in her hand as she slyly looked at Madam Lian who seemed to have 'woken up' as soon as the evidence of her treason came to light. " I am afraid that it is just the tip of the iceberg, your good friend had done even worse!"
As Mo Qiang spoke, she changed the email and this time it was an email which showed clear instructions where the sender was asking Madam Lian to feed Mo Qiang slow-acting, comedentis poison.
Which basically meant heart eater or core eater poison.
And to top it all, that email was from eight months ago.
Mo Qiang turned to look at the email and somberly caressed her heart, no wonder the predecessor had no core and she died so easily after staying just a few hours in the poisonous gases. Though the gases outside were indeed poisonous, the human body was adaptable... clearly, Mo Qiang was not supposed to die so early, if one was to die after staying outside for just a few hours then Mo Yan would have not allowed her daughter to leave.
At most, Mo Qiang should have fainted but Madam Lian who fed her heart-eating poison killed her at a prime age.
' No wonder I felt like I was getting a heart attack when I transmigrated here,' thought Mo Qiang.
I advise you to be kindAs soon as the email with the contents of Mo Qiang's poisoning was displayed, the entire crowd of onlookers fell silent. What the —-? They all thought that Mo Qiang was the evil villainous who was making everyone's life hell but it turns out that she was being schemed against by Madam Lian.
Even though they never used the core-eating poison, they were well aware of its side effects.
Loss of control of emotions, continuous irritation as well as hallucinations, were the side effects of core eating poison.
It was a poison which gave slow and painful death to whoever was unfortunate enough to eat it. It was so painful that the unfortunate soul who was poisoned with core-eating poison would beg for death by the time their core was gone.
Just how much Madam Lian hated Mo Qiang to give her a death which was this painful and cruel. What did Mo Qiang even do to her? In the past, Mo Qiang was Madam Lian's number one follower yet Madam Lian harmed her like this? No wonder Mo Qiang wanted to beat the heck out of Madam Lian.
She deserved it!
" You freaking b*tch!" Wen Gui who saw the contents of the email screamed at the top of his lungs as he glared at Madam Lian with a poisonous glare. Maybe he would have done much worse if not for the fact the three mers were holding him back, " How dare you! Why would you even harm my daughter? What did she even do to you!?"
Mo Yan was still in a daze as she looked at the screen, her eyes were wide in disbelief or disappointment. While her entire body was trembling like a small leaf in the storm, if not for the fact that Mo Xifeng was holding her arm, Mo Yan would have lost her footing and fallen on the ground by now.
Just...what did she do?
Did she really treat the woman who almost killed her daughter like a good friend and comrade?
The emails with the IP address displayed indeed showed that Madam Lian had long betrayed her. These emails were ironclad pieces of evidence which made it impossible for Mo Yan to delude herself anymore, even though the sender who was directing Madam Lian from the dark, was using a dummy account which cannot be traced back, Mo Yan knew that it was none other than Madam Wei.
After all Madam Wei was the only one who gained maximum benefits the second she was kicked out of her position.
' Wei Qingjiao!' Mo Yan roared in her head as she clenched her fingers so harshly that she almost dug her nails into her palm. Even after destroying her, snatching everything in which Mo Yan took pride in, that woman dared to touch her daughter? How dare she!
Mo Yan wished she could hunt Wei Qingjiao and rip her apart limb by limb, no...if she ever got her hands on that b*tch she would start with her nails and then her fingers and then skin her alive...she would bury her in a pool filled with chlorine and then take her out until that daughter of a bastard died!
But for now, she will settle the accounts with Madam Lian!
Mo Yan turned to look at Madam Lian with intense hatred in her eyes, as much as she trusted and admired Madam Lian in the past. She hated her just as much now that Mo Yan knew that Madam Lian had poisoned her daughter and almost killed her.
Though Mo Qiang was still alive who knows what might have happened if her core did not awaken!
" Madam Lian!" Mo Yan made a violent move as she summoned her weapon, causing her right arm to morph into a mechanical robotic arm which was holding a long scythe. With a vicious expression and red-rimmed eyes, Mo Yan looked like a grim reaper with the scythe who came to reap Madam Lian's soul. " You dare touch my daughter!"
Madam Lian's eyes were wide in horror, till now she was still unable to wrap her head around the fact that Mo Qiang had gotten her hands on the evidence which would prove that she was indeed a traitor. She could not understand how that woman even got these emails, was she a ghost who couldn't be detected by the security system or what!?
But then her horror turned to panic when she saw that Mo Yan had summoned her most extreme weapon.
Everyone knew that when Mo Yan summoned her scythe it never went down without spilling blood! Was Mo Yan serious? Was she going to kill her because of Mo Qiang?
No matter what, Mo Qiang was still good for nothing even if she did not poison her, that hooligan would have still died in a pub or bar while burying her head and spending nights drinking away!
She only accelerated the pace a little how was she in the wrong? Madam Lian did not wish to admit that she was in the wrong even in the face of death. She was just that arrogant to think that whatever she did was correct and no one was supposed to tell her otherwise!
" S...Sister Mo, think twice before you do anything to me," Madam Lian raised her hand and then ignoring the pain in her bottom, she somehow managed to scramble to her feet. " I ...I saved your life, Mo Yan. Sure I became a bit greedy but that does not change the fact that I saved your life... have you forgotten, the grace of saving one's life is a grace of a lifetime. I have given you a new life, Mo Yan! You cannot repay me by taking my life away!"
Only then did Mo Yan stop advancing on Madam Lian, even though she was breathing like a bull and her fingers were clenching and unclenching on the shaft of the scythe that she was holding Mo Yan no longer approached Madam Lian who breathed a sigh of relief but that relief did not last long as a certain devil laughed.
That's right laughed.
Madam Lian turned to look at Mo Qiang who was wriggling her eyebrows at her and a bad premonition rose in her heart.
———-
Madam Lian : ╭(°ロ° ")╯, I advise you to be kind!
Mo Qiang: Don't wanna.
