The Seven Sisters and Their Hidden King-Chapter 186: Alice Was Really Angry—The Joke Went Too Far!

"What?! You stole my vital energy and even used my full name?!" Alice screamed. "I swear I'm going to beat you to death!"

Furious, she pulled off her shoe and hurled it at him.

Emily watched in shock. "Wait... are you two joking, or are you actually fighting?"

"Joking?!" Alice shouted. "Miss Wood, let me tell you—this bastard doesn't deserve you at all! And if you're still thinking about being with him, I advise you to prepare yourself. I'll beat him to death anytime!"

She chased after John, her rage unrelenting.

By the time she stopped, John's body was covered in shoe prints, his arms marked with bite wounds, and his face smeared with lipstick. Alice flopped down on the sofa, arms crossed, chest heaving, her fragrant shoulders trembling with rage.

She turned her face away from him completely.

She was truly furious.

John had never seen her this angry. He knew he had pushed it too far.

Thinking about it, if someone suddenly drained his hard-earned vital energy, he'd be enraged too.

"Alice, I..."

"Don't talk to me! I've got nothing to do with you!"

"My dear sister—"

"Who's your sister? I've severed ties with you! Get lost—go as far away as possible!"

"...But this house was rented for me by Alton Wood."

Emily was stunned. This... is how he apologizes to a girl?

As expected, Alice sprang up at the mention of that.

"Oh, so this is your house? I'm not worthy of staying here then! Fine! I'm leaving!"

She stormed toward the door.

But just as she reached it—

John rushed over and hugged her tightly from behind. "I was wrong. I won't do it again."

He had promised to protect his sisters, yet he'd pushed Alice to the point of tears. He truly felt guilty.

Some jokes just shouldn't be taken too far.

"Let go of me!"

"No."

"I'll bite you!"

"Bite me. If it helps you calm down—bite as hard as you want."

So she did.

Alice sank her perfect teeth into John's arm, biting fiercely, venting all her anger and hurt.

Losing vital energy like that—anyone would be furious. Even Alice, who always seemed carefree, was on the verge of tears.

She bit down harder and harder.

Until—

She tasted blood.

Suddenly startled, Alice let go and looked down.

John's arm was bleeding.

He hadn't said a word. He just kept holding her tightly.

"John... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. Does it hurt?" she asked, her voice trembling.

Was she really going to cut ties with him?

Of course not.

She had just been too angry in the moment. Even if John hadn't stopped her today, she would've shamelessly come back in a few days.

Because that's just who Alice was.

"John, let go of me. I'm not mad at you anymore."

Seeing the blood trickle from the wound she'd made, Alice's heart softened, and her face filled with guilt.

John finally released her.

She turned around, gently took his injured arm, and scolded him with a mix of affection and exasperation, "Why didn't you say anything if it hurt? If you had, I wouldn't have bitten you so hard!"

Looking at Alice's beautiful face so close to his, John gave a soft smile and said, "Because I was the one who made you angry. No matter how much it hurts, I won't complain."

A warm feeling surged in Alice's chest. Her eyes welled up slightly as she stared at him.

"What a fool," she whispered.

Just then, Emily returned with a roll of gauze and handed it to Alice.

John wanted to say it wasn't a big deal and didn't need bandaging, but he kept quiet, worried she'd get angry again.

After wrapping his arm—

"Alice," John said earnestly, "to make it up to you, I'll help with your cultivation every day until your vital energy is fully replenished."

Alice rolled her eyes. "As if I'd trust you again. Who knows if you'll just steal it again?"

"I swear I won't touch your energy until you can condense it properly. If I lie... I'm a puppy."

Alice raised an eyebrow. "You already are a dog."

"...Who was the one biting me just now?"

"What did you say?"

"Nothing! Alice, say whatever you like!"

Seeing him shrink back immediately, Alice lifted her chin proudly. "That's more like it. You better remember this lesson. If you ever make me this mad again... I'll castrate you."

Emily watched the two of them in disbelief.

So... I'm the third wheel here?
