Quickly, with the final footfall, a graceful and beautiful figure appeared before Su Yan. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Jiu Li, whom he had previously catapulted with a high arc. She looked disheveled, her clothes in disarray and her hair a mess, as if she had been roughly handled.

In response to Jiu Li's affectionate leap, Su Yan didn't say a word and simply threw a punch.
Then, with a loud BANG! The Little Nine Fox, who a moment ago had tears in her beautiful eyes and looked pitifully helpless, exploded. Her delicate body turned into a cloud of wooden splinters that instantly scattered with the wind.
