Chapter 206: Chapter 206 Arrogant Duo_1
「Early morning.」
Mist lingered.
TAP-TAP!
Not long after, Ling Yunfei ran to Quiet Heart Lake, standing excitedly beside Qin Feiyang.
Qin Feiyang glanced at him and laughed. "Judging by your looks, have you successfully unlocked the second layer?"
Ling Yunfei nodded, his face earnest as he said, "I came especially to thank you. If I hadn’t met you, I wouldn’t have achieved what I have today."
Qin Feiyang smiled and exhaled deeply. He turned to Ling Yunfei and asked, "Do you still want to become stronger?"
"Yes." Ling Yunfei nodded without hesitation.
Qin Feiyang said, "Then I will also teach you the Ice Crystal Finger, Roar of the Mad Lion, Charging Thunder Killing Fist, Binding Tiger Hand, and Wind-Thunder Palm."
"Thank you." Ling Yunfei was visibly moved and quickly bowed in gratitude.
With so many perfect Martial Arts Techniques, he would be more than capable of dominating others at the same cultivation level!
Qin Feiyang entered the阁楼, found five bamboo slips, and meticulously copied the cultivation methods onto them.
Fatty and Lu Hong came downstairs and gathered around curiously.
"Damn, Boss, you’re really going to teach him everything you know!" Fatty’s eyes shone brightly.
A look of longing also spread across Lu Hong’s face.
After putting down the brush and ink, Qin Feiyang looked at the three of them and said with a faint smile, "You can all cultivate these together!"
Fatty grinned sycophantically. "Thank you, Boss! Master Fatty knew it! Boss is selfless and would never play favorites."
Lu Hong remarked, "Just a few days ago, you were complaining that he was playing favorites."
Fatty’s expression stiffened, and he retorted angrily, "’Don’t kick a man when he’s down,’ haven’t you heard? You’re so tactless."
Lu Hong simply rolled her eyes at him.
BANG!
Just then, the door was suddenly kicked open, and a young woman in green attire walked in.
Qin Feiyang and the others frowned upon seeing the newcomer.
It was none other than the Commandery Princess of Pan County, Xia Qianqian!
"Put them away," Qin Feiyang said quietly, then leaned back in his chair and silently observed the young woman.
Ling Yunfei put away the bamboo slips and sat to one side with Fatty.
Lu Hong squatted beside Qin Feiyang, brewing tea.
Upon entering, Xia Qianqian didn’t greet anyone. She wandered around the drawing room, examining its layout with an air of arrogance and rudeness, a trace of disdain clearly visible on her face.
"Ahem, to think that a place for receiving distinguished guests is so shabby. The Martial King Palace of Yan Province truly is pathetic!" Xia Qianqian remarked after a moment, shaking her head.
Everyone’s eyebrows twitched. They were all members of the Martial King Palace and couldn’t tolerate an outsider disparaging it, especially an outsider who wasn’t even from Yan Province.
"Princess, you are naturally of high station. This place is indeed not suitable for you, so please return whence you came, lest you feel slighted here," Lu Hong said率先, a faint smile on her lips. While speaking, she poured tea for Qin Feiyang and the other two men but deliberately ignored Xia Qianqian, not even preparing a teacup for her.
Xia Qianqian’s brow furrowed. She scanned Lu Hong from head to toe, then looked at Qin Feiyang and said, "This maidservant of yours, does she have no manners?"
"Maidservant?" Lu Hong’s delicate frame trembled slightly.
Qin Feiyang patted her shoulder comfortingly. Then, he suddenly looked up at Xia Qianqian, his face instantly turning cold.
"The one with no manners is you!"
"Entering someone else’s residence without knocking."
"Not offering a greeting upon entry."
"Staying in someone else’s place yet complaining about the conditions."
"I truly have no idea how the Commandery Prince of Pan County raised his daughter."
"If this is your level of refinement, then I must say, you utterly lack upbringing."
"You should be sent back to be remolded." Qin Feiyang ridiculed her mercilessly.
Initially, Xia Qianqian’s expression had merely soured. By the time Qin Feiyang finished speaking, her face was as cold as ice.
Ling Yunfei smirked, turned to Qin Feiyang, and said very seriously, "Your words are so direct. But I don’t understand, what does ’remolded’ mean?"
Fatty sneered, "Are you stupid? You don’t even get that? It means to be stuffed back into her mother’s womb to try again."
"Oh!" Ling Yunfei exclaimed in sudden understanding.
Hearing this exchange and seeing the expressions on their faces, Xia Qianqian trembled with rage.
AWOO!
At that moment, the Wolf King howled and bounded excitedly down the stairs. It glanced at Xia Qianqian, then with a turn and a leap, landed on a nearby chair, actually sprawling on it in a human-like posture.
Seeing this comical sight, Xia Qianqian’s eyes filled with disdain.
Qin Feiyang and the others couldn’t help the twitching of their faces. This creature was too much! If they put a pair of sunglasses on him, he’d really look like a big shot.
However, they had already anticipated that Xia Qianqian would surely fly into a rage next. If it were anyone else, they would certainly have stopped the Wolf King. But now, they all folded their arms, ready to enjoy the show.
The Wolf King casually asked, "Lu Hong, is there any wine?"
"No," Lu Hong shook her head.
"I have some," Ling Yunfei said, taking out a jug of wine. He opened the seal and handed it to the Wolf King.
The Wolf King held the jug with its two paws, tilted its head back, took a large gulp, and praised, "Damn, that’s good!"
Then, he looked at Xia Qianqian, full of smug self-importance, and said in a world-weary tone, "Although your character is subpar and you have a rather punchable face, your status is acceptable and your aptitude is passable. You barely qualify to be Brother Wolf’s little minion."
"Little minion?" Xia Qianqian was taken aback, then she gritted her teeth, glaring furiously at the Wolf King.
Qin Feiyang and the other three struggled to suppress their laughter, their faces turning red. It seemed that at the moment, no one was more deserving of a beating than the Wolf King itself; its utterly pompous demeanor made one want to hit it with a brick.
"What’s wrong?" the Wolf King continued. "Not willing? Being Brother Wolf’s little minion is an ultimate honor, you know. Let me tell you, if you miss this chance today, even if you perform a striptease for Brother Wolf in the future, Brother Wolf won’t take you in."
"Striptease?" Qin Feiyang and the other three exchanged glances. This Wolf King’s methods of insulting people were truly out of the ordinary. This time, Xia Qianqian was guaranteed to explode with rage.
And indeed!
"You damned Rogue Wolf! This princess will skin you alive today!" Xia Qianqian roared, erupting with the fury of a maddened tigress as she lunged, claws bared, at the Wolf King.
"So, just a Nine-Star Martial Master," Qin Feiyang muttered. Xia Qianqian’s age seemed similar to his, perhaps even a bit younger. But having lived in the royal household since childhood, her starting point was countless times higher than others. To still only be a Nine-Star Martial Master by now... it seemed her talent wasn’t very impressive either.
Qin Feiyang sent a telepathic message, cautioning, "White-Eyed Wolf, go easy on her. Don’t actually kill her."
"Hehe," the Wolf King chuckled mischievously, then suddenly leaped up, darting past Xia Qianqian’s head. However, its tail lashed out, viciously striking Xia Qianqian’s left cheek.
SMACK! A vivid red mark immediately appeared.
"Ah!" Xia Qianqian cried out in pain.
Immediately, she touched her stinging left cheek, an uncontrollable fury surging within her. She was the princess of Pan County, a precious lady whom even her own father had never struck. Yet now, a mere wolf had slapped her across the face? This was a humiliation she could not bear!
"Grandma Hua!" she shrieked.
The green-robed old woman shot into the drawing room like a flash of lightning. Xia Qianqian immediately ran to her side, pointed at Qin Feiyang and the others, and raged, "They bullied me! They hit me! Look at my face! Grandma Hua, I want you to kill them!"
"Kill?" Qin Feiyang’s eyes turned cold. He had thought this girl was merely difficult and willful, but he hadn’t expected her to be so malicious!
When the green-robed old woman saw the mark on Xia Qianqian’s face, a terrifying cold light burst from her eyes as she roared, "Who did it?"
"I did!" Qin Feiyang rose without hesitation, looking at her coldly.
Xia Qianqian cried, "It wasn’t him! It was that wolf!"
"You’re seeking death!" The green-robed old woman waved her hand, and a brilliant stream of Battle Intent shot violently towards the Wolf King.
"Damn it, she’s really trying to kill me!" The Wolf King’s expression changed, and he hastily dodged aside.
With a loud BOOM, a deep crater was instantly blasted into the ground. Shards of rock flew into the air!
Qin Feiyang, his three companions, and the Wolf King were all struck by flying debris, their skin splitting open and blood gushing from their wounds.
"What’s going on?" Shi Zheng rushed in at that moment. Seeing the state of Qin Feiyang and the others, he became instantly furious and roared at the green-robed old woman, "What do you think you’re doing? What place do you think this is, that you can act so atrociously?!"
"I’m acting atrociously?" The green-robed old woman gave a sinister smile and, with a wave of her hand, sent three streams of Battle Intent shooting towards Shi Zheng.
Shi Zheng managed to dodge two of them, but the third pierced through his right shoulder, sending him flying! Blood sprayed violently from the wound!
"You damned old hag! You even dare to try and kill Elder Shi!" Fatty snarled, his eyes wide with fury.
Lu Hong’s face was also etched with a frosty expression. Since arriving at the Martial King Palace, aside from Elder Wan and the beautiful woman, Shi Zheng had treated them the best. They had always respected him deeply. Seeing him severely injured now, a powerful killing intent surged within them all!
The Wolf King shouted, "What this wolf does, this wolf answers for! If you have a problem, direct it at your Uncle Wolf here! Don’t harm the innocent!"
"Very well, this old one will oblige you!" The green-robed old woman’s eyes glinted coldly as she stepped before the Wolf King, her withered, twig-like hand striking towards his head.
"Are you fucking serious?!" the Wolf King exclaimed in shock.
"Grandma Hua, save me!" Just then, Xia Qianqian suddenly screamed.
It turned out that while the green-robed old woman was attacking the Wolf King, Qin Feiyang had dashed behind Xia Qianqian, drawn Blue Snow, and pressed it against her neck.
"You dare!" The green-robed old woman whirled around, a terrifying Evil Qi erupting from her body.
Fatty, Lu Hong, Ling Yunfei, and the Wolf King quickly gathered behind Qin Feiyang.
Fatty cursed, "Old hag, why don’t you go ask around if there’s anything our Boss doesn’t dare to do?"
The Wolf King said disdainfully, "Exactly! We’re not even afraid of an Eight-star War Emperor, so why would we be afraid of an old bird like you?"
The green-robed old woman clenched her fists, her voice dripping with venom. "If you dare to harm a single hair on her head, this old one will make you regret ever being born! Not even Yan Nanshan will be able to protect you!"
"Oh, so tough? Does your mother know about it?" Qin Feiyang sneered.
"Xiao Qinzi, her mother’s been in her coffin for ages. How would she know, right?" the Wolf King chuckled.
"Seems you’re right!" Qin Feiyang nodded, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
