The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 190 A Meeting Gift
"Get out of here before I change my mind!"
The Dragon King laughed heartily, strode down from the stage, and left.
But as he reached the entrance of the hall, Chen Xiao suddenly remembered that this pleasure boat belonged to the Dragon King Palace. He should be the one leaving, not the Dragon King.
"Wait, the boat is yours, where are you going?"
The Dragon King waved his hand without turning around. "Consider this boat a gift from me!"
Then, in the blink of an eye, the Dragon King's figure disappeared.
Chen Xiao felt something was wrong and rushed out of the hall, looking left and right, but there was no sign of the Dragon King.
It was as if this person had vanished into thin air.
And the tracking talisman that Chen Xiao had placed on him had also disappeared.
Chen Xiao was stunned.
But after a moment of surprise, a smile crept onto his lips. "That old eunuch was hiding his strength all along! He fooled me!"
At least for now, it seemed the Dragon King was not an enemy.
So Chen Xiao didn't delve into it further, knowing they would meet again sooner or later.
Returning to the hall of the pleasure boat, Chen Xiao stomped hard on the floor again.
Everyone woke up, looking at each other, but their eyes were full of confusion, not knowing what had just happened.
Chen Xiao casually explained, "The wind and waves were too strong just now, and the boat was rocking violently. You all got seasick!"
Everyone: "…"
What kind of excuse was that to fool a ghost!
But even knowing that Chen Xiao was talking nonsense, they didn't dare to question him.
Wasn't that just asking for death!
Han Jiuqian and Da Xiang also woke up.
Da Xiang rubbed his head, looking bewildered. "Master, what happened to me?"
"Huh? Isn't that the stinky monk? Why is he dead? And him? Hey? Why is only one of you left? Where's the Dragon King?"
Da Xiang looked at the Scorpion Man, the only one still standing, his face filled with question marks.
The Scorpion Man coughed awkwardly. "You might not believe it, but I don't know where the Dragon King went either. I just woke up."
Han Jiuqian's face was ashen as he murmured, "So I'm not dead yet, but I've failed. What's the point of me being alive? Alas..."
Although he didn't know why the Flying Bat hadn't killed him, he still remembered his duel with the Flying Bat, which had ended in his defeat.
Thirty years of lying low and enduring had ultimately been in vain, and all his efforts had been wasted.
Thinking of this, Han Jiuqian suddenly closed his eyes and struck his forehead with his palm.
Chen Xiao reacted quickly and stopped Han Jiuqian, saving his life.
"Boss Han, why are you doing this?"
Han Jiuqian looked dejected, his face filled with hopelessness.
"A man is born between heaven and earth, but cannot avenge his enemies. What face do I have to face my loved ones in the afterlife, Chen Xiao, don't stop me, just let me die!"
Chen Xiao rolled his eyes. "If you want revenge, then go get revenge, what are you dawdling for?"
Han Jiuqian was slightly stunned. Just then, Chen Xiao kicked the Flying Bat, who was lying on the side, over to him.
Looking at Duan Jingyan, whose hands and feet were crippled, Han Jiuqian was filled with disbelief. "This is?"
The Flying Bat, Duan Jingyan, snorted coldly. "Third Master, you've really found a good backer!"
Han Jiuqian suddenly understood, and looked at Chen Xiao, asking, "Brother Chen, did you cripple him?"
Chen Xiao pursed his lips and said, "I left him alive so you could wake up and take revenge yourself!"
Han Jiuqian was dumbstruck, frozen in place.
"Did you also kill the evil monk Yuan Chen?"
Chen Xiao nodded.
"What about the Dragon King? Did you kill him too?"
Chen Xiao shook his head. "No, I let him go."
Han Jiuqian was completely dumbfounded and didn't bother to ask Chen Xiao why he had let the Dragon King go.
Because the shock that Chen Xiao had brought him had already short-circuited his brain.
He knew that Chen Xiao was very strong, but in his understanding, he was at most equal to himself.
However, Chen Xiao had not only crippled Duan Jingyan but also killed the evil monk Yuan Chen. As for the Scorpion Man standing aside, he must also have been his defeated opponent.
One against three, his strength was something he couldn't match even if he rode eight horses!
At this moment, Duan Jingyan shouted from the side, "Duan Tianci, if you want to kill me, then give me a quick death, don't dawdle like a woman."
Han Jiuqian looked at Duan Jingyan, and after a while, suddenly sneered, "Give you a quick death? Wouldn't that be too easy for you?"
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I'll take you back to Feiyun Manor, and I'll make sure you spend the rest of your life kneeling before the memorial tablets of my Duan family!"
Hearing this, Duan Jingyan felt even worse than being killed, and immediately tried to smash his head on the ground.
How could Han Jiuqian give him the chance? He chopped down with a hand, directly knocking him unconscious.
"Hmph, want to die? You'll have to see if I allow it!"
Having avenged his great feud, Han Jiuqian was extremely excited.
He looked at Chen Xiao and knelt down with a thud.
Thirty years of lying low and enduring had not allowed him to avenge his feud.
But Chen Xiao, whom he had only known for less than a month, had helped him avenge his great feud.
How could he not be excited, how could he not be grateful?
"Benefactor, please accept this bow from Duan Tianci of Feiyun Manor!"
Having avenged his great feud, Han Jiuqian could finally reclaim his true identity!
Chen Xiao quickly helped him up.
"Boss Han, no, I should call you Boss Duan now. If you're so polite with me, how can we be brothers in the future? Get up quickly! Stop dawdling!"
Duan Tianci was helped up by Chen Xiao. He suddenly became serious again, and said with utmost respect, "Boss Chen, from now on, my Wolf Gang will respect Boss Chen as its leader!"
Chen Xiao was slightly stunned. Was he pledging allegiance to him?
He never expected that he and Qi Tianhu had joked around for half their lives, but in the end, they both bowed to him as their boss!
Seeing this, Da Xiang quickly followed suit.
"Master, from now on, Da Xiang of Sheng Province will respect Boss Chen as his leader!"
Chen Xiao's forehead was covered with black lines. You don't have to do that, it's messing up the generations!
But that wasn't the end of it. The Jiangbei big shots present were all shrewd people.
In this situation, they naturally knew what they should do.
For a time, voices pledging allegiance to Chen Xiao rose and fell in the hall.
"Liu Songqing of the Fierce Tiger Gate will respect Boss Chen as its leader from now on!"
"Wang Mazi of Jiangkou is willing to respect Boss Chen as his leader!"
"Boss Chen, Liu Yan of the Flying Swallow Gate vows to follow Boss Chen to the death!"
…
However, amidst the voices of allegiance, there was a slightly different voice.
"Um, you might as well just take me in, I'll follow you from now on!"
