Ye Tiancheng felt very uneasy after hearing Su Muxian's words because he had been used as a shield. Being a shield was not a pleasant experience. He knew that going to help this time might involve a fight, but he wasn't afraid of fighting; he was afraid of trouble.
"Then where are we going to play?"
"We're going to Shui Shang Ren Jia to deal with that pig-like young master. This guy has been bothering me and wants to marry me. I hate that kind of man, I despise him. If someone like that could get me, I would be utterly disappointed with this world."
"The other party must think of himself as a successful young master. There are too many men like this in the world who want to possess women when they see them as beautiful. It's human nature." Ye Tiancheng didn't think much of it, but the other party did. Many things are not as you wish them to be; some people's thoughts are completely different from others. Anyone who wants to possess another person will not care what others think, as long as they say it. The man pursuing Su Muxian thought the same way, so this man was self-centered and never considered others' feelings. In his eyes, there was no need to consider others' feelings; as long as he felt it was right, that was enough.
They quickly took a car to Shui Shang Ren Jia. Just as they were about to eat, a man dressed in snow-white clothes walked in, accompanied by several burly men in black.
Seeing the man who looked like a young master enter, Su Muxian's expression changed.
This man's name was Balmas.
Balmas was the fifth richest man here, a minor power outside the four great families.
However, to ordinary people, such a minor power was like an emperor. After all, a single strand of hair from someone like Balmas could earn a lot of money for ordinary people for several lifetimes.
In this world, rich people were like emperors, and poor people were like slaves. The rich lived like emperors, while the poor lived lives worse than pigs and dogs. No matter how unwilling you were to accept this reality, you had to accept it. No matter how hard you struggled, if you couldn't become rich, your life would be like hell.
Balmas saw a handsome young man sitting next to Su Muxian. He raised his eyebrows, walked over, and slapped the table. He said to Tiancheng, "You stinking brat, don't you know? I'm pursuing this woman."
"I'm sorry, I know. She asked me to be a shield," Ye Tiancheng said, frowning.
"Damn it! You knew, and you still deliberately provoked me. Do you want to die?" Balmas looked at the people beside him and gestured for them to drag him out and beat him up.
The men in black understood Balmas's intention and quickly walked to Ye Tiancheng's side, grabbing his arm. But as soon as their hands touched Ye Tiancheng's shoulder, they felt pain all over their bodies, as if they had touched a hedgehog's spines.
"Aiyah, aiyah..."
These people all fell to the ground, twitching. They didn't know that Ye Tiancheng now possessed two powers, or rather, two and a half powers. One was the power of the Divine Stone, another was the power of the Mountain God, and the third was the power of the fragment of the Fuxi Qin.
"There's something strange about this kid, oh my god!" Seeing this situation, his mood became very complicated. He felt like he had encountered a ghost and that continuing like this was meaningless. He wanted to flee, but he found that Ye Tiancheng was standing at the doorway at some point, smiling at him.
"What's wrong? You want to leave? You can't leave without my permission. Don't you want a more beautiful wife? As far as I know, you already have a wife, so why are you still so infatuated?" https:/
"That's because rich people should have several wives. Isn't that how society is now? Wouldn't you do that if you were rich?" Balmas felt that rich people should marry more wives, and poor people shouldn't marry at all, as they can't even afford to raise children. Therefore, rich people should marry more and have more children, letting all the poor people die, and the remaining people would be the domain of the rich.
"What you think and what you do is none of my business, but I warn you, I will protect this woman. If you bother her again, I will destroy your entire Balmas family. Do you believe it or not?" Ye Tianchang said fiercely to Balmas. Because Ye Tiancheng had just defeated his bodyguards with one move, he was now without protectors. At this moment, he was like a soft persimmon, to be squeezed as one pleased.
Therefore, Balmas had no choice but to agree to all of Ye Tiancheng's conditions.
"I agree, I agree. As long as you let me go, I will never bother this lady again," Balmas said, bowing and scraping, acting like a pig, which was disgusting.
"Then get lost. Don't appear before me again. Seeing you like this, I can go without eating for days," Ye Tiancheng said, hating Balmas for his lack of backbone, only relying on his wealth and bodyguards to be arrogant, as if the world wouldn't turn without him.
"Okay, I'm rolling." Balmas then rolled on the spot until he reached the street, where he scrambled up and ran away without a trace. Seeing how pathetic he was, Su Muxian burst into laughter, extremely happy. She had been harassed by this guy day and night for the past few days, and today she finally felt relieved, so how could she not laugh heartily?
"Then I'll change to another place to eat. This place is full of the smell of pigs, and I can't swallow it," Ye Tiancheng said with disgust as he looked in the direction Balmas had left. His words offended the restaurant manager. The manager thought he was being insulted, so he walked over, frowning, and said to Ye Tiancheng, "Sir, you can do whatever you want, but you cannot insult my restaurant. This is the best restaurant in the city. How can you say it's full of the smell of pigs?"
"I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about that Balmas. You should know who I was teaching a lesson to just now. Because that guy's appearance disgusted me, I want to change places to eat. Do you understand?" Tiancheng said to the manager in a very stern tone. However, this manager was a subordinate of the Balmas family, and the Balmas family was in the catering business. Therefore, the manager naturally sided with Balmas. Since he couldn't find any reason to help just now, he didn't know what to do, fearing he would let down the Balmas family.
Just then, he heard Ye Tiancheng's words and finally found a reason, so he came forward to question him.
"I don't think it's that simple." The manager was relentless and insisted that Ye Tiancheng was talking about their restaurant. Ye Tiancheng frowned and said, "I think you're doing this on purpose. I've already explained clearly, and you're still looking for trouble with me. This clearly means you're standing up for the Balmas family. Is this Balmas's restaurant? If I'm unhappy, this restaurant won't have a single customer."
"Can you do it?" The manager sneered coldly.
"Of course, I can. We'll see in half a month," Ye Tiancheng said confidently, his tone like the Jade Emperor commanding the Three Realms, brooks no disobedience.
"Very well, I'll see if you can make my restaurant deserted. If you can't, you'll crawl between my legs." The manager said very arrogantly.
Ye Tiancheng chuckled and signaled his agreement to the challenge.
"Let's go. Let's go eat somewhere else."
"Where are we going?" Su Muxian was reluctant to leave Beijing. The food here was too delicious, and she wanted to stay and eat.
"You'll know when we get there. Can you stop asking so many questions?" Ye Tianchen was unhappy because he really didn't want to stay here for another minute. Staying here for another minute felt like he was going to die. Seeing the manager's fish-like eyes, he wished he could kick him and burst his eyes. That kid's eyes bulged outwards like a fighting cock's, unseemly and incongruous. His appearance was simply like a clown in a movie. He didn't know what the Balmas family saw in this guy. Did they see his funny appearance and think that putting him in the restaurant would attract everyone's attention? Thus, it would be easy to remember the restaurant's unique feature: a manager with fish eyes?
In fact, Ye Tiancheng was right. To attract everyone's attention, they chose a manager who was neither talented nor influential. If it weren't for his fish eyes, they wouldn't have chosen this guy as the manager. Because in this world, the food people make is more or less the same, and so-called delicacies are all blown out of proportion. In reality, advertising costs are paid by consumers. As long as the advertising is good, no one can be deceived. So now, advertisements are everywhere, boasting and exaggerating.
After they got into the car, they drove towards the outskirts of the city. After about half an hour, they stopped in a small town.
This was the most famous restaurant of the "Little Fatty" in this town.
"This is it. This is the hotel I opened. You'll definitely eat very well because my Little Fatty makes the food," Ye Tianchen reminded Su Muxian. Su Muxian was stunned for a moment, then asked Ye Tiancheng, "I know you used this money to open this store before. Wasn't it sealed off by something? I thought it had gone out of business."
"Because your Su family is rich and foolish, you don't care about this little money. You don't even pay attention to the monthly profits we distribute. This store, to be honest, you have some shares in it." Ye Tiancheng was speechless. He didn't expect Su Muxian to not know that he had been depositing her share of the profits into her account on time every month.
"We don't really care about this little money. We get about over a hundred thousand a month, which isn't enough for three days of our summer vacation expenses."
"My goodness, your family is really a treasury! Monthly expenses of over a million? That's truly impressive."
"When you marry five or six wives and have more than ten children, and then support a large family, you'll know that the monthly expenses are astronomical. And with over a million, those family members don't get much. Everyone bickers and it's annoying. So, when I find a husband in the future, I must find someone who marries only one wife. If he marries several and has a lot of children, I'll be annoyed to death every day, and the leader will only think about how to earn money to support this large family." Su Muxian couldn't help but complain at this point.
"I didn't expect you to be such a complainer. There's no use saying so much. In reality, when the water reaches the bridge, the bridge will naturally be straight." Ye Tiancheng's Chinese was not good, and sometimes his words were jumbled, making Su Muxian laugh heartily. She then corrected him, "It looks like your Chinese was taught by a sports teacher. What do you mean 'when the water reaches the bridge, the bridge will be straight'? It's 'when the bridge reaches the water, the water will be straight,' isn't it?"
"Alright, what about fists? What about the bridge being straight or not? Let's go in and eat." Ye Tianchen didn't care about those trivial matters. He thought whatever he wanted to think. What others said was their business and had nothing to do with him. At this moment, Little Fatty suddenly walked out from inside and saw Ye Tiancheng at a glance, hurrying to greet him.
Then he saw Su Muxian and immediately greeted her. Since Su Muxian was one of the shareholders of this hotel, he naturally had to treat her well, especially since she had invested all the money. Ye Tiancheng was responsible for the operation and management.
"Little Fatty, long time no see. How's your cooking?" Su Muxian loved food, so the first thing she asked about was food and drink.
"Great progress, great progress," Little Fatty said confidently. But Ye Tiancheng found his confidence laughable because Ye Tiancheng also knew how to cook, but he believed that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen and disdained doing so. This fatso loved to kill. The number of fish he killed every day was unknown. If he died one day, he would surely go to the Avici hell, where countless vengeful spirits would come to claim his life.
"This fatso only knows how to kill fish and frogs all day. Who knows how many lives are attached to his hands? When he goes to hell, someone will come to claim his life and complain to Lord Yama."
"You stinking brat, when people die, they die. They turn to dust and vanish. Where are there any myths about hell on earth? I am an atheist," Little Fatty said, rolling his eyes at Ye Tiancheng. Ye Tianchen saw that Little Fatty didn't believe in the cycle of reincarnation, hell on earth, or heavenly gods.
So he advised him, "I think you'd better believe in reality. There are gods three feet above your head. If you blaspheme against the gods like this, beware of heavenly retribution. You'll be turned to dust immediately."
As soon as Ye Tianchen finished speaking, dark clouds suddenly covered the sky. A dark cloud appeared, and then a bolt of lightning struck in front of Little Fatty. He was struck into a charred figure. Although it didn't kill him, his hair stood on end, and his clothes were all tattered, making him look like someone hit by a shell in a war movie, completely disfigured.
"Aiyah, your mouth is really poisonous." Su Muxian didn't expect that after talking about heavenly retribution, Little Fatty would actually be struck by lightning.
In the clouds above, Chi Jiao Da Xian was fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan.
He secretly watched the world below and suddenly noticed the conversation between Ye Tianzhen and Little Fatty. He couldn't help but use his Divine Stone to listen to what they were saying. Suddenly, he heard Ye Tiancheng cursing Little Fatty and wanted to help Ye Tiancheng because Ye Tiancheng's ancestors were very close to Chi Jiao Da Xian. It wouldn't hurt to help this kid occasionally, so he called Lei Shen to give Little Fatty a lightning strike. Little Fatty was indeed struck by lightning, but it didn't kill him; it was just a minor punishment.
After a while, Little Fatty recovered and then squatted on the ground crying, "Waaah." He was terrified, thinking he was going to die.
"Look at your uselessness. It's just a lightning strike. It didn't blow you to smithereens. You're still alive, so what are you afraid of? Therefore, I think you should revere the gods and not speak recklessly, otherwise, the next time, you'll really be blown to dust, and even your soul will turn to powder."
Although the body is destroyed, as long as the soul exists, it can be reincarnated. However, if even the soul does not exist, everything about you in this universe will turn to nothing. Therefore, the most terrifying thing is not the destruction of the body, but the destruction of the soul. Those who can destroy the existence of the soul are generally immortals.
Therefore, there are gods three feet above your head. As humans, we are like ants in front of the gods, and we must revere the gods. Just like the lower class respects the upper class, the upper class exists like gods. As long as they are unhappy and want to eliminate a lower-class person, it's as easy as raising a hand. To them, lower-class people are like ants, and they are like grass. Therefore, lower-class people are also called commoners.
"Now I'm finally convinced. There really are gods in this world. I might have been struck by Lei Zhenzi just now, that detestable winged fellow..." Little Fatty muttered, feeling very unconvinced in his heart, his mouth still babbling. Just then, a burst of electricity sounded behind his butt, scorching it black.
"Aiyah!" Little Fatty grimaced in pain and no longer dared to talk nonsense. This time, he was completely convinced. Before, he thought it might have been a coincidence, but now that the same thing happened again, he would never think it was a coincidence anymore; it was a certainty.
"Now you're finally convinced, so shut up," Ye Tiancheng warned him.
Hearing Ye Tiancheng's words, this guy finally understood that some things should not be spoken of carelessly, otherwise, he would die without a burial place.
"It's good that you finally understand. I hope you'll take care of yourself." Ye Tiancheng was speaking the truth, not deceiving him. Therefore, for Little Fatty's own good, Su Muxian, who was standing aside, watched in stunned silence. She never expected that whatever Ye Tiancheng said would come true. What kind of person was he? Like you...
Su Muxian's heart was filled with endless waves. Fortunately, she hadn't offended this guy before, otherwise, if she were also struck by lightning, it would be over!
