Chapter 009: Who is the Easy Target? (2)

Xue Qingcheng’s entire face was frozen in shock; the scene before her eyes had utterly terrified her.

Beside her, Xue Baimei was also stunned into silence, not understanding what on earth was happening or why those servants had all suddenly plunged into the lake. Could someone tell her exactly what was going on?

They looked up only to see this useless woman, the corners of her lips curled into a mocking sneer, before her gaze shot toward them with a chilling intensity, as if saying: *You're next.*

Just as Xue Qingcheng and Xue Baimei were reeling in bewilderment, unsure of the situation, Xue Linglong’s long, slender leg swept out in a rapid kick. Immediately, two screams rang out: "Ah!"

Following that, two "plops" exploded as two figures fell into the lake. Xue Baimei and Xue Qingcheng struggled incessantly in the water: "Wuh, help!"

Only now, while in the water, did the two realize that they had actually been kicked into the lake by a useless woman, and that the servants in the water had also been kicked in by this damn wench. As the bone-chilling cold seeped into their bodies, Xue Baimei and Xue Qingcheng trembled with frost. Fortunately, the servants in the lake were all proficient swimmers. They quickly swam over and brought Xue Baimei and Xue Qingcheng back to the shore.

Soaked from head to toe, Xue Baimei and Xue Qingcheng’s beautiful curves were on full display, and their exquisite makeup was long ruined. As a gust of wind passed, they shivered uncontrollably; their already cold bodies grew even colder. They were absolutely livid—especially Xue Qingcheng. Her entire body shook uncontrollably, and she pointed an accusing finger at Xue Linglong, her voice trembling with rage: "You... you damn wench! You actually dared to kick us into the lake! You are simply seeking death!"

Xue Qingcheng never imagined she would be kicked into a lake by a useless woman. If word of this got out, people would laugh themselves to death. Her proud chest heaved up and down violently, a testament to how angry and furious she was.

Another gust of wind blew past, and Xue Baimei hugged herself, shivering violently. Even in the third month, the lake water was still freezing. Although she was also filled with hatred for this damn wench, being as clever as she was, she knew she didn't need to lift a finger. Xue Qingcheng was already exploding with rage and would take action herself.

Xue Qingcheng still didn't seem to grasp the reality of the situation. She pointed at Xue Linglong and roared, "You useless things! Hurry up and get up there to beat her to death! You must beat her mercilessly—beat her to death! If she dies, I'll take the blame!"

The servants were clearly also extremely vexed. They had been kicked into the lake by a useless woman and were already fuming in their hearts, wanting nothing more than to teach this useless woman a harsh lesson. Now that the Second Miss had commanded it—to beat this useless woman to death and that the Second Miss would take the responsibility—they had no reason to show any restraint. Even though they were still soaking wet, the group swarmed forward together.

To the side, Xue Linglong’s deep, sharp eyes suddenly darkened. It seemed these people still didn't understand the situation. Her kick just now had actually held back a bit of force, as she hadn't wanted to cripple them. Did they think she was being merciful? Now they actually wanted to beat her to death. It seemed these people truly hadn't grasped what had just happened, for they actually dared to act so insolently toward her.
