CHAPTER 68 - THREE SLAPS
Translated by Luxican
Tang Yu, who had been raised in the General Wu Sheng Estate since childhood, was very temperamental. When the two Blood-Clawed Wolf cubs rushed out, he was taken aback.
But after he saw that the child looked dusty like a beggar, he didn't stop them, but instead encouraged them, "Blood-Clawed Wolves, kill her!"
It was just an insignificant beggar anyway, nothing a stack of money and a straw mat didn't solve.
Blood-Clawed Wolves were a kind of wolf-type demon beast living in the tropical jungle, and were born third-rank demon beasts. Even the young wolves' claws were extremely lethal to normal civilians.
For those who were not summoners, there was only one way to command demon beasts, that was, to raise demon beast cubs from an early age, so that when it grows up, it can join its owner in battles.
These demon beasts and the summoner's summoned beast were more than just a little different. Most of these "Battle Pets" couldn't be advanced. But in Yujing City, there were still many officials and rich families. For the safety of their heirs and grandchildren, they would often buy some demon beast cubs.
This also caused the cultivating of Battle Pets to become a symbol of wealth and identity.
Tang Yu's two Blood-Clawed Wolves were purchased by Yun Cangxue, after he passed the warrior's assessment a few days ago.
The two Blood-Clawed Wolves had red hair and resembled two balls of fluffy fire. They were very pleasing to the eye, and Tang Yu took great care of them every day.
In Tang Yu's eyes, a small beggar appeared like garbage in the Tranquil Nihility Lane, which was a kind of tarnish in itself.
The guards looked at each other and hurriedly came forward to stop the cubs. But Tang Yu threatened: " Nobody is allowed to help, this is a snack for Chui and Tong. Whoever goes up to save people, will immediately get kicked out of the General Estate."
General Wu Sheng was getting older and he long ignored the happenings in his estate. Since the second young master was disabled, he had also been in a state of decline.
Although the guards knew it was wrong to leave other people to die, they did not want to be driven out of the General Estate and lose their source of income.

Faced with the issue of meeting her parental family for the first time, Yun Sheng was thinking about how to convince them, until she suddenly felt a few pairs of eyes on her body, she looked up and suddenly stood face to face with two hungry wolves.
She also heard the boy in luxurious clothes telling her to die.
A chill ran down Yun Sheng's spine, when she realized that the child must be a young master of the General's Estate.
At such a young age, he was already so venomous.
The two third-rank wolves looked greedily at her, as if they wanted to get a taste of fresh human flesh.
But when they were about to taste the tender meat, the little figure in front of them suddenly disappeared.
Yun Sheng dodged, she held the bone needles in her hand.
The two young wolves whined and fell to the ground, they hadn't even realized what happened, there was no wound on their body, only upon careful inspection would they find a pin-sized hole on their waists.
According to folklore, wolves were copper-headed, and iron-tailed, but had a tofu waist, and Yun Sheng had just pierced two bone needles into the young wolves' waists. She had opened two strange meridians. The needle was invisible, but it was deadly, and the two third-rank wolves were instantly killed by her.
But in the eyes of others, after she stumbled away, the two wolves suddenly fell to the ground and died.
Outside the General's Estate Tang Yu's happy clapping stopped, as if he was petrified, even the guards were stunned.
Without any way to retaliate the wolves were dead.
"Damn beggar, you dare kill this young master's wolves," Tang Yu was angry and embarrassed. He ignored the guard and jumped in front of the little beggar with a fierce look.
"Ridiculous, your wolves attacked me first, and even then, which of your eyes saw me killing them!" Yun Sheng didn't even put Tang Yu in her eyes, as if he was some mud on the street, not worth giving a glance.
"You! You worthless beggar, do you know how much my wolves are worth? One wolf was ten golds, something you will never have in your whole pathetic life!" Tang Yu saw that Yun Sheng was younger than him, but she still dared to look down on him. He got even angrier.
In his eyes, one dirty beggar was nothing.
"Pathetic life? You can't afford to measure my life!" Yun Sheng said, took out her magician badge, and put it on the front of her shirt.
Seeing the magician badge, the guards immediately stepped forward to stop their young master who was about to attack. This time, the young master was in trouble.
The Great Zhou Empire's talents had withered these years.
Especially magicians were very rare in the Great Zhou Empire. In order to attract magicians of other countries, Great Zhou Kingdom had not only established a Magic Academy, but also made special laws. If magicians were wounded, the aggressors were fined 50 gold coins and whipped 30 times.
If the other party was just a beggar, it could be solved with a bit of money.
But the other party was a magician, and only six-years-old at that. Magicians of that age were rare in the Great Zhou Empire.
If the Magic Temple investigated, the old general would be furious.
It could be seen that Yun Sheng's magician badge was genuine at first glance.
Tang Yu's expression changed when he heard the guards talk about this matter, especially after they mentioned him getting whipped.
He was still rather young, but he was the grandson of a military official, he knew the rules and regulations of the military best.
So, what should he do now? Had he known that the little beggar was a magician...
Those magicians why can't they always wear their badges where they could be seen, like that they could even swagger through the city like they were peacocks. Tang Yu growled secretly in his heart.
He thought again and again, what he was the most afraid of was, his pocket money to be cut. Tang Yu was sure that he would have to pay the fine out of his own pocket.
Suddenly a shadow appeared in front of Tang Yu.
Like firecrackers, Yun Sheng slapped three times.
His cheeks became swollen and bright red, like a balloon, it was terrible to look at.
He was dumbfounded.
Even his mother has never beaten him like this!
Yun Sheng's movement were extremely fast. Even the guards were unable to react in time.
"You peasant! You dare hit me, I will kill you!" Tang Yu drew his dagger from his waist and pounced at Yun Sheng.
"Who is a peasant! My name is Yun Sheng, I have a famous background. I am Yun Canghai's daughter. If you scold me as peasant, you insult the entire Yun Family." Pride was on Yun Sheng's face, and the jade-like eyeballs of Tang Yu bulged out when he heard what she said.
At this time, a woman in a beautiful dress walked out, accompanied by two maidservants, who had witnessed Yun Sheng slap Tang Yu.
After hearing Yun Sheng's words, the lady's expression suddenly changed, and the maidservants behind her were also surprised.
