The male supporting character was actually myself.

"Hmph, do I need to wait?"

Mu Liuli raised an eyebrow and slapped the other person across the face, then pointed at her own delicate face and said arrogantly, "Take a good look at who I am. You don't want this worthless life anymore, do you?"

Although the other party was a martial artist, he obviously did not expect that doing business would lead to an unprovoked beating. The other party's attack was swift, accurate and ruthless, and there was no chance to dodge. A red handprint immediately appeared on his face.

"You..." He glared angrily, then realized that it was that troublemaker from the Mu family who was momentarily speechless.

If they don't punish them for assaulting office staff, where will their pride be?

Even if she was beaten for no reason, arresting her would be of no use, since she has a protective father who is a Golden Core Realm expert working in the High Martial Alliance.

Forget about punishment, just arresting Mu Liuli would offend that Grand Elder and bring unwarranted trouble...

The office worker was furious, but ultimately chose to swallow her anger.

Mu Liuli was overjoyed to receive the reward, thinking to herself, "I'm sorry, the system forced me to be the villain. I had no choice."

Here's your chance, hurry up and curse me in your heart, the more viciously you curse me and the more you hate me, the better!

However, the stench system only made one sound and gave Mu Liuli a pill to restore her spiritual power, which left Mu Liuli somewhat dissatisfied.

"Make those two finish their fight quickly; those in line behind can wait until I'm done before going up." She pointed at the office staff member's nose with an arrogant expression and said, "Also, apologize to me."

Because you're blind, I had to slap you to bring you to your senses and get you to work properly. That slap really hurt my hand.

The office worker glared angrily at Mu Liuli with bloodshot eyes, but he quickly had no choice but to lower his head and admit his mistake, because Mu Liuli's lackeys had already surrounded him.

It seems that if they don't apologize, they're definitely in for a beating, and there'll be nowhere to seek justice.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see clearly that it was Miss Mu who was present. Since you want to go up to the arena for a duel, you can use her in the next match."

After racking up another round of rewards, Mu Liuli finally let Lan Ying massage her sore hands, and snorted through her nose, "That's more like it. You blind good-for-nothing, get out of here!"

Chapter Twelve: Struck by Five Thunderbolts

I thought that any self-proclaimed "wild" internet celebrity would at least tone it down in front of so many cameras if they had any sense of propriety.

Jiang Chen never expected her to be so arrogant, not even bothering to cover up her bad deeds. So he was a step too slow and couldn't stop her from hitting him immediately.

Seeing Mu Liuli grinning from ear to ear, it was clear that she had definitely gained a lot of rewards from the system by reaping a lot of resentment from netizens through this live-streamed beating.

This system is really difficult to deal with. I wonder how it will finally give up on Mu Liuli and choose to unbind her...

The atmosphere in each live stream room had completely exploded. No one expected that in the internet age, there would still be such local tyrants in Wuhai City who had not been eliminated.

The act of humiliating waiters and vandalizing the restaurant was already shocking, but Mu Liuli's behavior at this moment showed netizens what it means to be utterly despicable!

They beat up the staff of the High Martial Arts Alliance without cause and openly bullied them, but judging from their tolerant attitude, it is clear that being bullied is the norm for them!

What is the background of the Gao Wumu family? How could they possess such great power?

Even the Wuhai City Martial Arts Alliance gives him a wide berth, so what about ordinary people? If they're targeted, wouldn't they be doomed?

"A petition written in blood demands that the Martial Arts Alliance thoroughly investigate the Mu family of the Martial Arts Sect!"

"Such blatant evil deeds must be committed by someone with a super powerful backer. Perhaps there is a Nascent Soul level expert in a high-ranking position in the family."

"I'm a little worried about the streamer, please be careful!"

"Quick, look at the trending topics! Mu Liuli is bullying women and men, and even kidnapped the groom in the middle of his wedding in the street. The whereabouts of the kidnapped man are still unknown!"

"This is outrageous! Are we really living in the same world as that vicious woman, Mu Liuli? Even if the Martial Arts Alliance is run by her family, they can't be this arrogant, can they?"

"This kind of person should be executed by slow slicing live on air!"

"A local is here to answer your questions—Mu Liuli is the only daughter of the Golden Core stage elder of the Mu family in Wuhai City. She has been domineering and arrogant since childhood and is becoming increasingly unruly. The Wuhai City High Martial Arts Alliance branch is directly controlled by her Golden Core stage father, so she can do whatever she wants."

"Be careful upstairs, watch your words and actions!"

"The Gao family of Wuhai City is truly lawless..."

…………

Netizens were indignant, but Mu Liuli was all smiles.

The feeling of the stinky system constantly giving out rewards is just amazing!

Sure enough, in just a few minutes, he had accumulated nearly a million spirit stones, as well as various not-too-expensive but very useful pills.

There are those that replenish spiritual energy, those that heal wounds, and those that increase the breakthrough rate. When we start fighting later, I can wear that pretty boy down even if I have to use my spiritual energy!

Of course, we'll have to make him contribute some rewards first.

The rewards I've received so far are plentiful but rather ordinary, clearly insufficient to break through the martial artist's defenses. I've finally caught a pretty boy; what I really want are higher rewards for doing bad things to martial artists!

Ideally, I'd torture him to death to get some rare and valuable items like a Heavenly Spiritual Root or alchemy skills. Once I become an alchemist, I can roam the world with impunity!

With this in mind, Mu Liuli, who couldn't wait any longer, set her sights on the two people still fighting on the field.

They were clearly just trying to have a fair spar rather than seeking revenge, so they fought back and forth very cleanly while avoiding each other's vitals. The reason they chose to fight on the arena was probably because they were worried that their sword winds would be too strong and tire out the others.

Most of the new generation of martial artists are polite and value their reputation, and do not want to cause inconvenience to ordinary people.

But if they do that, who knows when they'll finish their arena matches?

"Hey, you piece of trash on the left, can't you see your opponent is humiliating you?"

Once the arena is activated, it will be protected by a full-range barrier, which can effectively prevent the sword energy of deadly moves from overflowing and harming innocent people. However, once someone steps onto the arena, they will not be disturbed by the outside world.

Mu Liuli's eyes darted around, and she chose to use verbal attacks to sow discord, hoping that the two of them would turn their duel into a fight to the death. The stinking system should give her a pretty good reward then, right?

"You two don't need to be swayed by others." Before she could say anything more vicious, Jiang Chen said loudly, "The one who just spoke up to sow discord was Mu Liuli, the infamous daughter of the Mu family in Wuhai City. Knowing her character, she can easily distort the truth, confuse the public, and sow discord. It's clear that you two have a good relationship and are having a fair exchange. Don't fall for this vicious woman's tricks."

Clang!

The two knives were suspended in mid-air, and the two sides exchanged a glance and stopped in tacit agreement.

"Thank you for your righteous help, fellow Daoist." The two clasped their hands in thanks to Jiang Chen, then turned their gaze to Mu Liuli, who was standing to the side, her scheme thwarted and who was beaming with righteous indignation.

The young man on the left, whom she called trash, said in a deep voice: "Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. A vicious mind breeds inner demons. Mu Liuli, if you continue like this, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

Ha, you piece of trash like you dare to curse me?

Do you think I wanted to be a bad guy? I was just driven to desperation by this filthy system!

Judging people solely by appearances and completely disregarding their unspoken hardships, you deserve to be struck by lightning.

Mu Liuli thought to herself and a mischievous smile curved her lips.

Just now, the stinky system rewarded me with a small item that can instantly slap someone in the face!

Hehe, I'm not the kind of person who holds grudges. After all, I usually settle scores on the spot.

"Host, be careful! She's about to show off again!" The fluffy dumpling, having secured the best position, immediately spotted the other's signature crooked smile and jumped up and down in panic. "Quickly tear his mouth apart! Don't let him activate his crooked smile skill!"

Jiang Chen also noticed Mu Liuli's subtle movements—her right hand moved slightly as if she were picking up something.

Was it taken from the system inventory?

Could it be a reward item?

No wonder he's so confident...

"I kindly reminded you, and not only did you not appreciate it, you even bit the hand that feeds you, cursing me with such foul language." Her smile widened, and she raised her voice several octaves as she laughed, "Then let's see who is truly wicked and malicious and gets struck by lightning!"

After speaking, she flicked her right finger and silently threw the small prop she was holding, which no one else could see, at the young man who had just jumped off the stage.

"Boom!"

Sure enough, a rumble of thunder echoed in the sky.

Suddenly, the clear blue sky, which had been filled with white clouds just a moment ago, was suddenly filled with layers of dark, heavy clouds. The sky darkened instantly, and a strong wind blew, carrying sand and stones so fiercely that people around the arena could not open their eyes.

"Oh no, host! We don't seem to have any items to stop him from showing off. What should we do?" The little white cat scratched its fluffy, round white belly in a panic. "How about I try to conduct electricity with my body and direct the lightning to the wicked woman?"

Jiang Chen:!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

Little guy, are you working this hard?

"Don't act rashly, I have a way." He was really afraid that the fluffy ball would rush up and conduct electricity, so he quickly reached out and pressed it down, whispering, "Jin Hongxuan is a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator who has withstood the lightning tribulation, so he has experience."

Jiang Chen couldn't very well say directly that he wanted to use the Soul Weapon to tamper with things, so he had no choice but to attribute the ability to Jin Hongxuan.

In the original story, the focus was on how tragically this cannon fodder character's Dao heart collapsed and he fell into demonic possession, without explaining in detail the skills he possessed. After all, he was immediately overwhelmed and humiliated by Mu Liuli, who was cheating by consuming pills, as soon as he entered the arena, without even having a chance to make a move.

The fluffy dumpling breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing its host's words. "As expected, you are indeed the host I chose. You are always the most reliable in critical moments! Keep it up, host! I'm counting on you this time!"

The dark clouds in the sky churned amidst lightning and thunder, almost pressing down on us.

No one at the scene had ever seen anything like it.

Does a wicked woman have the power to summon wind and rain? Otherwise, how come when she says she'll be struck by lightning, God immediately cooperates and it begins?

"My god, this woman is not to be trifled with! It's like the end of the world, so terrifying!"

"If such a thunderbolt struck down from the sky, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be annihilated, right?"

"Could it be a family heirloom skill of the Gao Wumu family? I don't believe that even the heavens are helping this wicked woman!"

"It's probably some kind of protective measure given to her by her father, after all, she has a father who is at the Golden Core Realm."

"Even a Golden Core cultivator can't summon wind and rain, this is really weird..."

…………

The eerie atmosphere of the scene stunned everyone.

Even the two young men who had just jumped off the ring looked up, their eyes wide, their mouths agape, unsure of what to say.

Isn't the saying "being struck by lightning" just a figure of speech?

How could it suddenly actually appear?!

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

Thick streaks of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the dim world briefly and making Mu Liuli's face, which was tilted up without any attempt to hide and even seemed somewhat smug, extremely conspicuous.

Lan Ying looked at her young mistress with a hint of fear in her eyes. She was becoming increasingly confused. She would never believe that the strange phenomenon that occurred that day had nothing to do with her young mistress.

But how exactly did they do it?

Could it be... that Miss is really just a bit foul-mouthed, and that she is actually a great philanthropist whom even the heavens protect?

"Hahahaha! Did you see that? You damned trash, even the heavens can't stand it anymore and are going to expose your hypocritical face!" Amidst everyone's shock, Mu Liuli stood with her hands on her hips, laughing arrogantly. "Who exactly is suffering from inner demons and about to be struck by lightning? Everyone, open your eyes wide and see!"
