Chapter 523: The Feeling of Winning Without Effort is Incredible

"You can't even defeat a woman you despise. What gives you the right to be arrogant? Is that all you've got?"

Jin Wenwu felt an immense sense of humiliation. His eyes grew even more terrifying, bloodshot at the corners as if he were about to lose his mind.

The several dandies looked at each other, not a single one daring to speak again.

The situation made it clear that they might really not be able to beat a woman. Witnessing such formidable strength, they dared not approach, nor did they wish to.

If they went forward and the news of ganging up on a woman spread, would they still be able to hold their heads high in the future?

Moreover, who knew how many silver needles this woman had? If they rushed forward and became the first to take the hit, wouldn’t that make them the sacrificial lamb?

The atmosphere turned icy, with no one uttering a word.

Su Youyue didn’t want to drag this out any longer and said, "Young Master Jin, are you really going back on your word and refusing to apologize?"

The calmer her tone, the more stifled Jin Wenwu felt, almost driving him mad.

"Apologize to them? Impossible! It’s clear you used trickery to win! Besides, an apology from this young master—do the Shen family even deserve it? How about we call Master Shen and Madam Fang to discuss this matter?"

He retorted.

Shen Yuanyang’s face darkened upon hearing this. "Jin Wenwu, do you even have any shame?"

He was so angry he almost wanted to rush forward and fight Jin Wenwu again.

Can’t beat us, so he resorts to using his family background to bully others—what a joke!

But the Jin family’s status was higher than the Shen family’s. If it really came down to using power and influence, for the sake of the Shen family’s future, his parents would definitely make him and Shen Nan apologize instead!

"Forget it, I don’t need his apology..." he muttered under his breath, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

He hadn’t expected this woman to go so far for him.

It was just an apology. No need to put her through that.

If things got out of control… he could always turn to Zhuyu.

Zhuyu was composed and intelligent, always capable of handling situations gracefully. With her here, today’s issue would surely be handled perfectly. If this woman were to handle it, he felt a little uneasy. After all, her previous feats had left a deep impression on him.

He was genuinely worried she might lose control and slap Jin Wenwu a few times.

Just as Shen Yuanyang was about to speak, he saw Su Youyue’s smile fade slightly, as if a trace of displeasure was finally showing.

"So you won’t apologize?"

Her tone had a playful edge as she toyed with the silver needle in her hand.

Hearing her tone, Shen Yuanyang felt a throbbing in his temples, sensing impending trouble.

Jin Wenwu, with his neck stiff, refused to admit defeat. "Hmph, you think a woman like you deserves this young master’s apology?"

"Fine, if you don’t want to apologize."

Hearing this, Shen Yuanyang actually felt relieved. He thought his temper was already bad enough, but this woman’s was even worse, making her difficult to handle. At this moment, her willingness to back down actually made him breathe easier.

But the next sentence made Shen Yuanyang’s eyelid twitch uncontrollably. "If you don't want to apologize, then I will make you regret it." Her voice was calm, yet carried a chilling undertone.

"Not apologizing isn't a big deal, but I’m not sure if Young Master Jin can withstand the poison on these silver needles."

The whole room was stunned.

The group of young men immediately panicked.

"How dare you use such underhanded tactics, you witch!"

Jin Wenwu was also startled and hurriedly touched the spot where the silver needle had struck him.

After all, they were just a bunch of inexperienced kids. No matter how flashy and worldly they acted, they lacked wisdom and experience. At this moment, the spoiled rich kids had no idea what to do.

"You dare to poison me? I’m going to tell my father, and your Shen family will be finished!"

In desperation, Jin Wenwu gritted his teeth and tried to scare Su Youyue by invoking his father's name.

"Yes, hand over the antidote, you venomous woman!"

Shen Yuanyang’s lips quivered slightly.

This…

He hadn’t known this woman could use poison either.

If word got out that she had poisoned the eldest young master of the Jin family, the Shen family would certainly be criticized. And if it was a deadly poison, the Shen family really couldn’t afford to take responsibility.

Although he felt a hint of satisfaction seeing Jin Wenwu’s panicked expression, Shen Yuanyang was also a bit anxious himself.

He just knew…

Whenever this woman acted, it was like she was tearing the heavens apart or shaking the earth itself…

Su Youyue spoke calmly, saying only, "Young Master Jin, please go ahead."

Seeing her completely indifferent to the Shen family’s fate, Shen Yuanyang took a deep breath.

Not only him, but the entire group of spoiled brats, Jin Wenwu included, were genuinely scared.

The group exchanged glances and gathered around Jin Wenwu, nudging him.

"Young Master Jin, why don’t you… apologize? Who knows what kind of poison it is—it could be lethal!"

The lackey didn’t finish his sentence, but Jin Wenwu clearly understood.

This statement also hit the mark for the others, who immediately chimed in. After all, in their eyes, poison was truly terrifying.

"Why should I!"

Jin Wenwu gritted his teeth, his scalp gradually going numb. Was it just his imagination, or was the spot where the needle had pricked him starting to throb?

"Brother, just apologize. I was wrong, woo..." Jin Wenkang was also scared, his eyes showing a hint of fear as he looked at Su Youyue.

A woman who uses poison—how scary!

Su Youyue remained as composed as when she had arrived, as if not even the sky falling would make her bat an eye.

Seeing that Jin Wenwu wouldn’t back down, Jin Wenkang ran to Shen Yuanzhen. "I’m sorry, Shen Yuanzhen! I shouldn’t have taken your yummy peanuts!"

Shen Yuanzhen lifted his still red nose proudly. "Hmph! It really is delicious!"

Hearing this, Jin Wenwu smacked his lips, still savoring the fragrant taste in his mouth. He even felt that he didn’t regret snatching Shen Yuanzhen's peanuts... He wanted more...

Upon hearing his younger brother apologize, Jin Wenwu seemed to find a way to save face. He glared hatefully at Su Youyue and, with great reluctance, turned to Shen Yuanyang. "Shen Yuanyang, I was in the wrong today!"

After blurting it out in one breath, he felt a sudden sense of relief. But when he turned back to look at Su Youyue, he saw her nod towards Shen Yuanzhen.

"..." Grinding his teeth again, Jin Wenwu looked at Shen Yuanzhen. "Brother Yuanzhen, this older brother of yours has wronged you!"

As soon as he finished, he felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders and immediately looked back at Su Youyue.

"Is that enough? Hurry up and neutralize my poison!"

Su Youyue replied indifferently, "Is this how Jin Young Master apologizes and begs for mercy?"

Jin Wenwu's teeth were almost grinding together.

The words were squeezed out from the depths of his throat, "Shen Yuanyang, I'm sorry. Shen Yuanzhen, I'm sorry. Please, Miss Shen, neutralize the poison!"

Just when he thought that would suffice, Su Youyue turned to Shen Yuanzhen. "Yuanzhen, do you accept this apology?"

Jin Wenwu's eyes widened.

He had already apologized, and this woman was still asking if the two Shen siblings accepted it?

Humiliation, this was pure humiliation!

How could there be such a woman under the heavens? He was furious!

Shen Yuanzhen nodded his round head, looking at his elder sister with admiration.

Big Sister is amazing!

Shen Yuanyang hadn't expected things to turn out this way either. The two Jins had actually apologized. Hearing Su Youyue ask Shen Yuanzhen, he thought she would ask him next and hurriedly looked at her.

But Su Youyue didn’t even look at him, just nodded to Shen Yuanzhen. "Good."

Su Youyue then glanced at the attendant holding Shen Yuanyang's spear.

It was just a glance without much emotion, but the attendant immediately felt immense pressure and promptly ran over to hand the spear to Shen Yuanyang. "Young Master Shen, here is your Swift Thunder spear."

His tone was now extremely respectful, a stark contrast to before.

Shen Yuanyang took the spear, still in a daze. Suddenly, he felt like he had won without lifting a finger.

The feeling of winning effortlessly—it was just too satisfying...
