Chapter 234: Eye For Eye, Tooth For Rump (2/2)
Li Ruoer suddenly heard a loud and crisp snap and then a burning sensation on one side of her face. She heard Wang Tong's voice, ”You made me break my gentlemen's rules.”
”Wang Tong! You...You dare SLAP ME?” Li Ruoer's voice broke at the end of her desperate shriek.
Li Ruoer finally tasted bile in her mouth, No one ever touched her as she grew up, much less slapping her in the face. Even her brother Li Shiming had reduced his methods to coxing as one would do to a child.
Li Ruoer heard another snap, and the other side of her face was burning, while her ear started to ring.
Wang Tong cracked a smile and then said, ”The first slap was to teach you the importance of saying 'Thank you' when someone saves you’re a*s. The second one was to teach you not ever again to break the law and kidnap anyone. Think about what you have done, for the sake of General Li.”
”Wang Tong, why don't you just kill me already! I swear I will hunt you down as long as I am still breathing.”
”Kill you?” Wang Tong regarded Li Ruoer from head to toe, and then said, ”Too dirty for my hands. I could if I wanted to, I could squish you dead like a bug. God, you are so pathetic! Is that all you learned from General Li?”
Blood rushed into Li Ruoer's head as she took the insults. She wished she was not injured so she could let Wang Tong have a real taste of the enchantress right then.
Finding it impossible to channel her soul energy, Li Ruoer resorted to a more primitive strategy as she lashed her teeth onto Wang Tong's hand.
The pain stole Wang Tong's breath. Despite the pain, Wang Tong shook his hand violently and said, ”Let go! I will knock your pretty little teeth off if you don't !”
Li Ruoer didn't mind the threat. She registered Wang Tong's pain, so she clenched her jaw even harder.
Wang Tong refrained from hitting her face. He was certain that if he did, he and all of his friends might as well find a way to befriend the Zergs quickly.
”Let go... Let go you... are you a dog? Is that why you are so b*tchy? Ahh...”
Seeing Wang Tong didn't have the heart to actually knock her teeth out as he claimed, she became emboldened. Out of utter desperation, Wang Tong raised his hand and spanked her with all he got.
”Hurts!”
The pain made Li Ruoer bit even harder. Wang Tong didn't give in, and he continued his punishment until Li Ruoer's lower rump started to become swollen.
Wang Tong felt a slight hesitation in Li Ruoer's bite, so he jerked his hand and finally pulled it out of the trap. The motion threw Li Ruoer off balance as she stumbled back a few steps.
Wang Tong held his bleeding hand, trying to cope with the excruciating pain.
”She is nuts! She is completely nuts! WTF is wrong with the Li?”
Li Ruoer thudded on the ground and started crying loudly.
”Cry your eyes out!” Wang Tong muttered. He studied the room and discovered that there was no apparent exit. Then he tested the wall with his punch, but it too wouldn't give in.
Wang Tong's eyes found the crying nut case on the ground, and considered that he would have to put up with her until he knew how to get out of here.
”Stop crying now. STOP!” Wang Tong howled out at Li Ruoer, and the latter suddenly became quieter.
Wang Tong noticed a pair of watery eyes gaze indignantly at him and it suddenly occurred to him that Li Ruoer was rather attractive looking when she was quiet. Her innocent face then was marled by patches of dirt and sod which made her look particularly pitiful. Wang Tong's callous heart softened. Suddenly, the frail body on the ground sprinted towards Wang Tong. Wang Tong ducked, and he heard a distinctive sound of two rows of teeth clasping, locking down on each other.
Li Ruoer's boldness had rattled Wang Tong again.
He picked up Li Ruoer and without saying a word, beat her on the rump furiously. He no longer cared about the consequences of his action. First and foremost, he thought that he needed to show her the consequences of her actions.
After a while, Li Ruoer stopped making any sound altogether. Wang Tong paused, fearing that he had beaten the girl to death. But upon closer look, instead of a dead girl, he had found a pair of bloodshot vengeful eyes, filled with the promise of madness.
