The Washboard’s Fury and a Man’s Delight

“What? Scared now that your identity has been exposed?”

Tou’s expression twisted in pain, and his body stiffened abruptly, inviting suspicion. The black-haired beauty, with a small bun on her head, unceremoniously grabbed Tou by the collar, her voice loud and her face stern.

“Speak quickly! Which demoness dares to cause trouble on my territory?”

“If I catch her, I swear I’ll hang her on the city gates and use her blood to atone for our slaughtered kin!”

The young woman nearly roared, her hatred for the demon race absolute.

Her name was Qing Zhuiyan, and her family, the Qing clan, descended from Emperor Qing, one of the Five Emperors under the Human Emperor during the Age of Dharma Decline.

After the Human Emperor’s demise, her clan had claimed the fertile lands of Qingzhou for themselves.

However, fifty years prior, in their quest for treasures within the Demonic Ruins, her family had purchased this very land in Huzhou.

Tragically, after entering the Demonic Ruins, most of their clan barely escaped with their lives.

From that point, the Qing clan began its decline.

The most fundamental reason for this was the sudden emergence of the demon race ten years ago, which had slaughtered nearly all of her family, leaving not a single Heavenly Human Realm expert alive.

Other clans, having long coveted the lands of Qingzhou, seized the opportunity to scheme in the shadows, wresting Qingzhou away and nearly expelling her family from Shengzhou.

Shengzhou, the sacred land of humanity, was once the dwelling place of the Human Emperor.

Its spiritual energy was several times denser than anywhere else, and within its borders lay several Blessed Lands, where the spiritual energy concentration reached unbelievable levels.

The Qing clan also possessed a Blessed Land, which was now being eyed covetously by other families.

As the sole heir of the Qing clan, she would never surrender their Blessed Land.

Her presence here stemmed from secrets she had uncovered within her father’s belongings regarding the Demonic Ruins.

These secrets held the key to becoming a Heavenly Human Realm expert, or even an Emperor Sovereign!

She intended to venture into the Demonic Ruins.

Without a Heavenly Human Realm expert to oversee them, her Qing clan was currently vulnerable.

She was determined to become a Heavenly Human Realm expert, for only then would she possess the strength to reclaim the vast territories her clan had lost.

Pinghu Town and several other towns surrounding the Demonic Ruins were lands her Qing clan had acquired during their heyday.

Though they had fallen into decline, the land deeds remained in their possession, making this, by rights, their territory.

Yesterday, their party had set up camp in a distant forest.

In the dead of night, they had spotted a pillar of crimson light soaring into the sky from afar, an unmistakable sign of a demoness’s machinations.

Driven by an irreconcilable blood feud with the demon race, she had flown towards this location without even properly donning her skirt.

It seemed, however, that she had arrived too late; the demoness had already departed.

Yet, in her experience, demonesses left no survivors in their wake, be they human or beast.

Now, surprisingly, there were not only living people, but quite a few of them!

Fearing these individuals might be demoness-brainwashed spies left among humans, she couldn’t simply let them go.

The black-haired girl’s spittle landed squarely on Tou’s face.

Far from pleased, he scowled and retorted with an even louder voice.

“What *are* you?! Don’t touch me with your pig trotters!”

Tou offered no quarter to this person who had immediately started yelling at him.

Even beauty couldn’t excuse such rudeness.

“Huh?”

Qing Zhuiyan likely hadn’t anticipated such a strong reaction from Tou.

She froze for a good five or six seconds before realizing something was amiss.

She had been insulted!

She, the dignified heir of the Qing clan, had been cursed at by some brash youngster.

Unbearable.

Even if this person wasn’t controlled by a demoness, she would tear this abominable brat limb from limb!

Veins bulged on her face, and immense power surged through her hand.

She was a Golden Body Realm mid-stage expert, while Tou was merely a weakling at the Spirit Vein Realm mid-stage.

With a gentle push backward, that simple palm strike, imbued with her monstrous strength, would surely leave Tou bleeding profusely!

“You despicable wretch, die!”

‘Squish~’

However, the palm strike didn’t land on Tou’s chest.

Instead, her hand grasped something soft, large… a ‘bun’.

It was the little girl with twin braids, who had been shielding Tou!

She was only half a head shorter than Tou, yet she had blocked the attack as if it were nothing.

“Your… Your Highness! I know you utterly detest the demon race, but please… Eek~, Your Highness, don’t assault innocent people!”

“Also, Your Highness, please stop squeezing… me…”

“This… is this a chest? Xierwei! This is absolutely outrageous!”

“Today, I’m going to squeeze them until they pop!”

So this little beauty was called Xierwei!

Her name seemed to be the same as a heroine from a certain yellow-covered ‘doujinshi’ he had once read!

This woman suddenly plopped into his lap, leaving Tou utterly bewildered.

But it was clear that the fierce woman from earlier was now bullying this one.

Stretching his neck, he couldn’t help but smirk mischievously.

His hand snaked underneath, joining Qing Zhuiyan’s assault, determined to knead those two large “water balloons” until they burst.

“Eh? Your Highness, Little Sister, you… Eek, ahh! Stop… stop!”

“Hehe (¯﹃¯)”

Though he had no idea what was truly happening, Tou was thoroughly delighted!

“Xierwei, do you see now?! This is the rage of us flat-chested folk!”

“Growing so large is simply abnormal! Let us make you normal! You should thank us! Oh hohohoho! Oh hohohoho!”

“Ah~, Your Highness, I can’t take much more… Stop… please stop… have mercy on me… mhmph…”

Qing Zhuiyan’s face held a hint of madness; she, who was utterly flat-chested, loathed those voluptuous beauties.

If only she could have even a slight curve, she wouldn’t be driven to such frenzy.

So flat! There was absolutely no need for a bra! Which only made her look even flatter!

She and Tou had been on the verge of fighting, but seeing Tou so tactfully join her in tormenting the well-endowed woman, and noting that Tou also possessed a similarly unremarkable chest, a sense of camaraderie blossomed.

She felt a sense of belonging, convinced that this “little sister” would surely become her close confidante in the future.

Tou, however, disagreed.

He found Qing Zhuiyan’s words utterly ridiculous, and given that he was a man being mistaken for a girl, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger.

“You idiotic washboard! Don’t you know this is good for development?!”

“And furthermore, *I am a man*! Don’t look at me with that empathetic gaze of yours! It’s absolutely disgusting!”

“A MAN!!!”

Both women exclaimed in unison, their eyes wide as saucers, jaws dropping in shock!

“A man! A man! A man! He’s flat because he’s a man, but I… but I… I’m truly flat… Ahh…”

“Your Highness! Your Highness! Don’t collapse! If you just work hard, they’ll surely grow!”

‘Squish~ Squish~’

Tou continued to knead, holding Xierwei tightly in his arms, preventing her from standing to comfort Qing Zhuiyan.

Watching Qing Zhuiyan’s desolate expression, as if questioning her very existence, filled him with immense joy.

Suddenly, an idea struck him.

A wicked grin stretched across his lips.

Resting his chin on Xierwei’s shoulder, he clasped his hands together, facing Qing Zhuiyan, and with a “hehe” and drool nearly escaping his mouth, he spoke:

“Want big brother to help you develop quickly? You could see results in as little as two months~”

“Your disgusting expression makes it clear nothing good would come of it!”

“I don’t need those useless breasts anyway! Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!”

The young woman snorted three times in quick succession, glaring fiercely at Tou, then pulled the small woman from his embrace.

“Haha! Didn’t expect that, did you?! I’m utterly obsessed with big busts!”

“Tonight, I’ll sleep on her back! What’s the difference between climbing on your washboard-like chest and kneeling on a washboard as punishment? Washboard~ Washboard~”

As Xierwei was pulled up, Tou clung tightly to her, wrapping his legs around her waist like a sloth, sprawling across her back.

His hands never once left those two “balls,” and he continued to grin, deliberately mocking Qing Zhuiyan.

The damage might not be high, but the insult was extreme!

Qing Zhuiyan’s face flushed crimson then purple from his words!

She looked as if she was about to explode!
