Originally, after Xú Hóng informed his family that Nángōng Yǎ had awakened an S-rank Talent, the family's attitude became completely one-sided, all supporting Xú Hóng in pursuing Nángōng Yǎ. And if there was any need, they told him to directly tell his family. Wasn't it just another 1 million sponsorship payment from his family to Xú Hóng?
Feeling happy, Xú Hóng took a few lackeys to Bābā Exotic Beast BBQ. However, by chance, he ran into Yáng Xié and his group again. At this moment, Xú Hóng's mood plummeted further. He couldn't stand it anymore, he really couldn't stand it. He'd have his family deal with this mongrel as soon as he got back today. Xú Hóng made up his mind; he had to get rid of this scourge, Yáng Xié, sooner rather than later, or he would never have a chance.
"Yáng Xié, are you even a man? You only know how to stand behind Nángōng Yǎ. If you have the guts, let's have a contest."
With the support of his family's elixirs, Xú Hóng finally managed to circulate the Heavenly cycle that afternoon. Xú Hóng's confidence surged. Now he wanted to showcase his strength in front of Nángōng Yǎ and tell her that Yáng Xié was a good-for-nothing, and that he, Xú Hóng, was the right choice. He wanted to utterly defeat this scumbag Yáng Xié like this.
Before Yáng Xié could reply, Nángōng Yǎ, however, looked at Xú Hóng with a strange expression.
"Do you think I'm stupid? I have a D-class talent and you have a B-class talent. Fighting you would be asking for punishment, right? Although my talent is poor, it doesn't mean I'm stupid!"
Yáng Xié was being mischievous again.
"You're not a man. If you don't dare, then leave Nángōng Yǎ. Don't embarrass yourself here. We both became
Awakeners less than three days ago, and we're not Martial Practitioners yet. What's the big difference? Yáng Xié, if you don't dare to fight, then loudly declare yourself a coward."
Unaware, Xú Hóng, in order to make Yáng Xié fight him, resorted to provocation.
Yáng Xié played along cooperative, holding his breath as if angered by Xú Hóng's words, and stood up.
"Bullshit! Who's afraid of you, you grandson? Yǎyǎ and I are here to eat barbecue, not to fight."
A trace of timidness, yet refusing to back down, immediately made Xú Hóng even more excited. This kid was indeed scared. Xú Hóng knew Yáng Xié was broke. Since you want to eat barbecue, hehe:
"How about this, I'll pay for your barbecue. As long as you're willing to spar with me, we'll stop when it's just a friendly match."
Xú Hóng saw that provocation hadn't worked, so he switched to temptation.
Yáng Xié went along with it:
"Xú Hóng, who are you trying to fool here? If you have the guts, order two Roasted whole lambs and place them on my table, then pay the bill, and I'll believe you."
Seeing that Yáng Xié had relented, Xú Hóng didn't waste any more words.
"Boss, I'll pay for two Roasted whole lambs for this table. I'll transfer the money now."
As he spoke, Xú Hóng showed the boss a transaction record of 30,000 yuan already paid.
"Okay." The waiter soon brought two Roasted whole lambs to the table.
"Yáng Xié, you can't back out now, can you?"
Xú Hóng's smug laugh echoed, believing he had succeeded.
"This, this, okay, but we're just sparring, point to stop, alright?"
Yáng Xié agreed hesitantly, as if afraid Xú Hóng would beat him hard.
Nángōng Yǎ sat to the side without speaking, just looking at Yáng Xié strangely. This guy is so wicked! But I like it so much.
"Alright then, let's go find an empty spot now. We'll fight a bit as warm-up, then come back for barbecue."
Xú Hóng was impatient, wanting to get Yáng Xié out and beat him up.
"Okay, okay, then let's find a place with few people. I'm afraid of losing face if there are too many people," Yáng Xié stammered in agreement.
Xú Hóng wanted to beat up Yáng Xié, but similarly, didn't Yáng Xié want to beat up Xú Hóng? A secluded corner would be best, making it convenient for Yáng Xié to operate. Nángōng Yǎ was his future wife; how dare this rascal have designs on her.
"Good, that's exactly what I was thinking."
Xú Hóng agreed, thinking a secluded corner would be perfect for him to vent his frustration.
A corner of the Night market snack street.
"Ouch! Yáng Xié, you scumbag, you dare to hit me? I'll have my family beat you to death. Ouch, don't hit me anymore, I was wrong. Brother Yang, please be magnanimous and let me go! ..."
Yáng Xié was having a great time beating him up. Xú Hóng's lackeys, seeing Yáng Xié's ferocity, didn't dare to help.
"Hoo, that feels good. Xú Hóng, you bastard, if you dare to have ideas about Yǎyǎ again, I'll beat you so badly your own mother wouldn't recognize you. Oh right, thank you for the Roasted whole lamb."
Saying this, he left with a flourish, leaving behind a groaning and begging Xú Hóng.
"You bunch of losers, you didn't dare to help when I was getting beaten. What good are you? Ouch, hurry up and help me up."
The night light cast a sliver of light, illuminating Xú Hóng's bruised and battered face.
"Yáng Xié, if you have the guts, just wait and see how my family deals with you. Hiss, my mouth hurts so much."
Xú Hóng, still trying to spew threats, was helped away by his lackeys while groaning.
Inside the barbecue restaurant, Nángōng Yǎ was eating with relish. She was very confident in Yáng Xié's strength.
"Thank you for the gift, classmate Xú Hóng. Yǎyǎ, you must eat your fill today."
Yáng Xié returned, looking like he had won a battle.
"Yáng Xié, you're too wicked. Don't play with classmate Xú Hóng too much."
Nángōng Yǎ looked at Yáng Xié speechlessly.
"He's not a good person. How dare he have designs on my wife? I'd beat him until his teeth fall out."
Yang Xie looked like he wanted to fight again.
"You're talking nonsense again. Who is your wife?" Nángōng Yǎ playfully hit Yáng Xié with her small fists, her earlobes glowing red.
"Hehe, whoever hits me is my wife. After all, hitting is affection, scolding is love, and no hitting, no love."
"You, you..." Nángōng Yǎ was suddenly at a loss, her delicate face becoming even more alluring.
"Hahahahahaha, please eat more Roasted whole lamb, my lady. Don't think about outsiders."
Nángōng Yǎ gave Yáng Xié a charming, exasperated look.
Seeing the beautiful Nángōng Yǎ, Yáng Xié felt a surge of emotion he couldn't control.
"Wife, you are too beautiful." As he spoke, Yáng Xié slowly moved closer to Nángōng Yǎ.
Nángōng Yǎ became even more flustered. She closed her eyes, as if resigned.
"There's a piece of food stuck to the corner of your mouth. Let me clean it for you."
Saying this, he brought the tissue in his hand to wipe near Nángōng Yǎ's mouth.
Nángōng Yǎ was stunned...
"Yáng Xié, you scoundrel, get lost!"
...
Of the two Roasted whole lambs, Yáng Xié ate one and a half. The Little Shadow Soldiers were cultivating too fast, and his body couldn't keep up with the nutrition.
Yáng Xié left the barbecue joint, still wanting more. Nángōng Yǎ, however, glared at Yáng Xié resentfully, her eyes almost spitting fire.
"Still not full. I need to become a Martial Practitioner quickly and hunt exotic beasts myself. Yǎyǎ, are you full?"
"I'm full. Full of anger."
Nángōng Yǎ tossed her pretty face and walked forward quickly.
In the Darkness, a pair of eyes watched Yáng Xié and the two of them leave.
...
"No rush now, wait for an opportunity."
"Why, sir?"
"Nángōng Yǎ has bodyguards watching her. We need to wait for reinforcements to tie up that person."
"What do we do now, sir?"
"You continue to observe. Don't be discovered."
"Report any changes immediately."
"Yes, sir."
...
