The news of Xiao Fan's slap heard across the sect hadn't even begun to die down before his next target made her appearance.
Leng Qingxue, the cold, untouchable Ice Fairy of the Inner Sect, stood atop her mountain of ice and snow. Her reputation preceded her—no one dared to challenge her, much less touch her. She was the epitome of beauty, grace, and power. Cultivating in the purest form of ice-based martial arts, her coldness was not just physical but also emotional. Many had tried to win her heart, but all had failed, some even suffering broken bones for their trouble.
But today… Xiao Fan had other plans.
Xiao Fan paced around his room, his eyes locked on the new quest floating in his system.
> Slap the Jade Beauty – Leng Qingxue
> Reward: +1000 EXP, +5 Slap Dao Proficiency, +1 Harem Entry
Warning: Slapping her may lead to unwanted affection, possible danger, or the creation of a new enemy.
He couldn't help but smirk. "A beauty, huh? I'm not scared." His hand flexed in anticipation. After all, it wasn't the first time he was about to slap a pretty face into submission.
With the system's power coursing through him, Xiao Fan had become emboldened, no longer the weakling he once was. He had become a force—one that could slap even the most untouchable beings.
The inner sect training grounds were pristine and serene, unlike the chaotic Outer Sect. The disciples here were all high-ranking, strong cultivators, and their presence radiated power. Yet, all that power was about to be utterly humiliated.
Xiao Fan arrived at the gates of the Inner Sect, his heart pounding with excitement. The towering gates opened, revealing Leng Qingxue sitting in lotus position, surrounded by an icy aura. She was meditating, her long white robes flowing with the breeze. Her beauty was ethereal, and the entire courtyard seemed to freeze at her presence.
Xiao Fan didn't hesitate.
He walked forward, his steps light but determined. His palm tingled, the familiar power of the Slap Dao surging within him. He didn't care about the warnings or the consequences. Leng Qingxue's cold demeanor had only one solution: a slap.
"Leng Qingxue!" His voice rang out across the courtyard, cutting through the stillness.
Leng Qingxue's eyes opened slowly, her gaze like a freezing wind. "What do you want, Trash Xiao?"
The insult only fueled Xiao Fan's resolve. Without a word, he raised his palm, aiming directly at her beautiful face.
SLAP!
The sound echoed across the courtyard like a thunderclap. The air itself seemed to crack as Xiao Fan's palm made contact with Leng Qingxue's cheek.
For a moment, everything was still.
Leng Qingxue's cold expression froze, then a thin trickle of blood appeared at the corner of her mouth. She touched her cheek, her eyes narrowing into icy slits.
"Did you… just slap me?" Her voice was low, but there was no mistaking the venom in it.
Xiao Fan stood tall, his chest puffed out in pride. "That's right. I slapped you. What are you going to do about it?"
[Ding! +1000 EXP]
[Level Up: Qi Gathering 5 → 7]
[Slap Dao Proficiency Increased]
[Harem Entry Unlocked: Leng Qingxue]
The disciples watching from the sidelines couldn't believe their eyes. Xiao Fan—the trash disciple—had just slapped Leng Qingxue. The Ice Fairy herself, the untouchable beauty, had been slapped without mercy. The shock was palpable. Some gasped, others murmured.
Xiao Fan turned to leave, but then, a voice rang out, cold and deadly.
"You think you can slap me without consequences, Xiao Fan? You have no idea what you've just done."
Xiao Fan grinned. "Oh, don't worry. I'm just getting started."
