Just as Tie Long was about to reach the peak of the intense sensation, the vibrating hammer fell away. His mentality completely collapsed. Couldn't you have just given me half a second more?! he thought in agony. "Ah! No... stop!"
Ding!
[Resentment from Tie Long +18!]
[Resentment from Tie Long +19!]
Not only that, but the excruciatingly sensitive numbness remained.
On the other side of the stage, Tie Hu let out a bloodcurdling scream. "Ahhh!" He collapsed to the ground with a thud, clutching his stomach and trembling uncontrollably. "It hurts! Why does it hurt so much?! The pain is killing me!" His howls were akin to those of a woman in labor. As he screamed, his belly began to swell, looking for all the world as if he were nine months pregnant.
Ding!
[Resentment from Tie Hu +18!]
[Resentment from Tie Hu +19!]
"What in the world did you do to me?!" Tie Hu shrieked.
One brother was in unbearable pain, the other was unbearably numb. Even though the hammer was gone, Tie Long's own spirit energy continued to vibrate within him, trapping him in a state of excruciating pleasure. Even so, Ye Yin had no intention of letting them off the hook.
"White Demon," Zhu Zhuqing asked, "Aren't you going to attack?"
What?! Tie Long and Tie Hu thought in unison. We're already like this, and you still want to attack?! Someone report them! This is abuse!
Ding!
[Resentment from Tie Long +20!]
[Resentment from Tie Hu +20!]
"Second Spirit Ability, Nether Claw!" Zhu Zhuqing's second spirit ring flashed, and her claws raked across the incapacitated Tie Long's back. A series of sharp attacks landed, and with each strike, Tie Long roared. The combination of the numbness and the violent blows was pure torture. With each subsequent attack, his screams grew louder and more desperate.
After more than ten strikes, Ye Yin signaled for Zhu Zhuqing to stop. Continuing would likely cause permanent injuries. Tie Long looked at Ye Yin with something resembling gratitude, but Ye Yin could still see the resentment from both brothers flooding his system panel. This White Demon is too damn sinister! they both thought. Numbness, childbirth, bone spurs, arthritis—are these abilities a human should even have?
"Brother White Demon," Tie Long pleaded, his voice cracking. "We surrender. Please, remove the effects of your Spirit Ability."
Ye Yin sighed. "I'm sorry, but I can't help you. I only know how to cast my abilities, not dispel them."
Tie Long and Tie Hu stared at him, stunned. "You can't dispel them?!"
Ye Yin then produced a strange-looking can and handed it to them. "This small gift is just a token of compensation. Please accept it. And remember," he added with a friendly tone, "you should open it in a crowded place. The more people, the better."
Tie Long trembled as he accepted the can of surströmming. Although this White Demon's abilities are sinister, he thought, he seems like a decent person.
...
"Let's congratulate the Black and White Demons on their victory!" the announcer declared.
By the time their match was over, the others had also finished their solo fights. Everyone had won except for Tang San. His spirit rings—one white and one yellow—simply didn't provide enough toughness or power to his Blue Silver Grass yet.
"Where's the Dean?" Ye Yin asked Dai Mubai.
"Heaven knows," Dai Mubai replied helplessly. "He just told us to head back after our fights."
"You guys go on ahead," Ma Hongjun said suddenly, a glimmer of excitement in his small eyes. "The Dean just told me to go to his shop."
Dai Mubai shot him a look that was half a smirk, half a warning. "Then we'll head back first. You take it easy."
"Boss Dai, are you coming?" Ma Hongjun pressed.
"No. Stop talking nonsense and let's go," Dai Mubai grumbled, rolling his eyes as his gaze unconsciously swept toward Zhu Zhuqing. You bitch, he thought bitterly. I'll show you that I, Dai Mubai, am not the kind of man who fools around when he has a fiancée! He felt no guilt thinking this; it seemed entirely natural to him.
"Let's go, let's go together," Ma Hongjun whined, pulling on Dai Mubai's arm. "Didn't you say that women are just a resource?"
Ye Yin kicked Ma Hongjun lightly. "You go by yourself. Can't you see what kind of taste Young Master Dai has? He only goes for stunning twin beauties. What good stuff could there possibly be at the cheap brothels you visit?"
Ding!
[Resentment from Ma Hongjun +22!]
[Resentment from Dai Mubai +21!]
"Ye Yin, what are you talking about?" Dai Mubai said loudly, feigning innocence. "What stunning twin beauties? I don't understand what you're saying." He then gave Ye Yin a pleading look and leaned in to whisper, "Yin Ge, I'm begging you, help me out here."
Zhu Zhuqing's gaze shifted, her attention fixed on their hushed conversation.
Ye Yin patted Dai Mubai's shoulder and whispered back, "Don't worry. Since you called me Yin Ge, I'll definitely handle this perfectly for you. I understand. A man needs to maintain his image."
Hearing this, Dai Mubai shot a smug look at Zhu Zhuqing. Today, Ye Yin will prove that I am a good man!
"Of course, I'm talking about the stunning twin beauties we ran into the first time we all met!" Ye Yin announced loudly, for everyone to hear. He stretched out his hand and gestured. "They were this tall, twin beauties who looked exactly alike. Mubai came into the hotel with one on each arm. I was stunned. They were absolutely incredible."
Dai Mubai was horrified. "What did I just ask you to do?!" he hissed. "I asked you to prove there were no twin beauties, and this is how you do it?!" He coughed nervously. "That... that was just the first time I met them! I couldn't control myself! It only happened once!"
Ye Yin shook his head repeatedly. "No, no, you could tell at a glance that it definitely wasn't the first time. They were clearly... well-maintained."
Dai Mubai almost choked. "Pfft! Why are you always undermining me?!"
Ding!
[Resentment from Dai Mubai +33!]
"Xiao Wu, Zhuqing," Ye Yin said, ignoring him completely. "Cooperate with me for a moment. I'll show you something."
