Chapter 481: Dongfang Youdi
The crowd’s eyes flickered. No one had expected Young Master Xie Qing to have been on the third floor of the restaurant this whole time. Baihua Fairy hadn’t appeared from the third floor earlier, so she must have been playing the zither for him!
’This man... he’s so strong!’
Ye Wushuang’s brow furrowed as he stared at the newcomer. The man had a slender build and effeminate features, but his face exuded a wicked aura—a powerful wickedness that made Ye Wushuang feel intensely threatened.
’Third on the Dragon List, Young Master Xie Qing, a Yin Yang Realm cultivator!’
Seeing Young Master Xie Qing gave Ye Wushuang a preliminary understanding of the strength of the Dragon List’s Celestial Prides. They were far from simple and could not be compared to the geniuses he had encountered on the Barbarian God Battle Platform. Furthermore, possessing a special constitution made their Combat Power all the more terrifying.
"Spiritual Spring Ninth Layer!" Young Master Xie Qing remarked indifferently as he too studied Ye Wushuang. "However, with that little bit of strength, you can’t just do as you please in the Holy City."
Ye Wushuang’s eyes narrowed, and he stared back at Young Master Xie Qing, his expression placid. He replied with cold composure, "But at least here, no one can oppress me."
Upon hearing this, the crowd’s eyes trembled violently. Young Master Xie Qing was fourth on the Dragon List. Who in the Holy City didn’t know his name? His power was so great that it put even the older generation to shame.
Yet this young man dared to declare, right in front of Young Master Xie Qing, that no one could oppress him. How arrogant!
"Arrogant fool! Forget Young Master Xie Qing, I alone can kill you."
The middle-aged man sneered and strode forward.
’Kill me?’
Ye Wushuang laughed coldly to himself. With his speed, not even a Profound Level expert was guaranteed to be able to kill him. For a mere Yang Destruction Level cultivator to boast of killing him was simply laughable!
’If he wanted to leave, who here could possibly stop him?’
BOOM!
As the middle-aged man moved, Lan Xinyu and the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc also stepped up to stand by Ye Wushuang’s side, staring down the man. It seemed a great battle was about to break out.
"Young Master Xie Qing, leave this bastard’s life to me. I want to kill him with my own hands. I hope you will grant me this, and my Zong Family will owe you a favor."
But before Young Master Xie Qing could even speak, a cursing voice suddenly rang out. "Kill my ass! You old bastard, I’ve been lying here for half the day, and not a single person saw me?!"
The ill-timed voice instantly shattered the tense atmosphere, drawing everyone’s gaze. Who would dare be so brazen as to curse the Second Master of the Zong Family?
It wasn’t just the crowd; even Young Master Xie Qing turned to look.
"Ptooey! Ptooey!"
A figure climbed out from the ruins of the second floor. It was the same sorry figure that had crashed down from the third floor earlier, completely ignored by everyone until now.
Everyone was stunned. They watched as the figure dusted himself off, spat out a mouthful of debris, and reached up to straighten his crooked headdress before finally looking up.
A pair of peach blossom eyes swept over the scene, finally landing on Ye Wushuang.
"Hey, kid," the young man said, "next time you decide to demolish a building, give a guy a heads-up."
Tugging at his loose-fitting clothes, the young man sauntered toward Ye Wushuang, looking every bit the rogue.
’It’s him!’
Seeing the figure clearly, the crowd’s eyes twitched as if they had just encountered some legendary figure.
Ye Wushuang could tell from the shifting expressions in the crowd that these people were all afraid of this man!
"The number one menace of the Holy City is here too?"
"Shit, better get some distance."
The crowd muttered, backing away as if they had just stepped in a pile of shit. Expressions of both fear and disgust were plain on their faces.
"Dongfang Youdi!"
Young Master Xie Qing also watched the newcomer, his brow furrowing slightly.
"What’re you callin’ your daddy for? Does your woman need a good lay?"
Dongfang Youdi turned to look at Young Master Xie Qing, then immediately swiveled his head toward Baihua Fairy. He rubbed his nose and uttered a line that made the corners of the crowd’s mouths twitch violently.
’So shameless!’
This menace, to actually stare at Baihua Fairy right in front of Young Master Xie Qing and ask if his woman needed a lay... he was just begging for a beating.
Of course, the crowd wasn’t too surprised. Everyone knew the disposition of the Holy City’s number one menace. At age seven, he’d blackmailed his maid into stripping naked for a "body inspection." By ten, he had frequented every brothel in the Holy City. And by fifteen, he had become a menace who threatened every woman in the entire city.
Not only that, but in those fifteen years, he had perfected the arts of swindling, cheating, whoring, and gambling, all while rampaging tyrannically. His exploits earned him the "glorious" title of "The Holy City’s Number One Menace."
Never mind just saying a few words; it was entirely possible he might just throw Baihua Fairy over his shoulder and carry her home. There was nothing he wasn’t capable of.
However, when he said this, the peerless Celestial Pride, Young Master Xie Qing, merely shot him a cold glare but otherwise made no move—even though Dongfang Youdi was just a good-for-nothing with barely any Cultivation, a weakling he could crush with one hand.
There was only one reason for this: Dongfang Youdi had an older brother, Dongfang Wudi, who was second on the Dragon List. Moreover, he was the Second Young Master of the Noble Family, the Dongfang Family. He basically carried the entire "Dongfang Family" on his shoulders. Every time he got into a fight, he would just "smash" his opponent with the Dongfang Family’s name, making him more terrifying than any other youth in the Holy City. No one dared to provoke him!
Three years ago, for some unknown reason, this menace took a fancy to a young lady from the Zong Family and domineeringly carried her home. This, of course, provoked the Zong Family, who dispatched countless experts to deal with him.
As a result, they interrupted his "fun." The menace flew into a rage and, without a second thought, summoned all the experts of the Dongfang Family to give the pursuers a harsh lesson.
But that wasn’t all. His anger still not sated, the menace waved his hand and led a group of Dongfang Family experts to storm the Zong Family’s estate, claiming that the Zong Family had to pay the price for interrupting his fun.
The Dongfang Family sent out almost all of their experts for that fight. Left with no other choice, the Zong Family could only offer up three Ancient Medicine Kings as tribute to appease the menace’s wrath!
This has always been a great shame for the Zong Family, and they have always wanted revenge!
However, the Dongfang Family doted on this good-for-nothing menace to an extreme degree!
After that incident, the Dongfang Family Master declared directly, "From now on, the Dongfang Family is at your back. If anyone dares to touch you, we’ll smash them."
With that one sentence, no one dared to touch him anymore—not even his own brother, Dongfang Wudi, the only person who had ever dared to beat him up!
"What are you looking at? Look again and this young master will carry you home," Dongfang Youdi shouted, his eyes darting toward the Zong Family’s young lady as she glanced his way.
Instantly, the young woman flinched and retreated to the middle-aged man’s side.
"Second Uncle, let’s go," the young woman said, tugging on the middle-aged man with a trembling voice. All her previous arrogance was gone. When it came to Dongfang Youdi, she was terrified to her very bones.
"Hmph!" The middle-aged man also knew that getting revenge today was impossible. With a cold snort, he left.
"Hey, hey, don’t go! This young master still wants to have a heart-to-heart with you, talk about life," Dongfang Youdi called out as he watched the Zong Family girl hurry away. In response, her pace only quickened.
"Sigh. Am I so handsome that people can’t even bear to look at me?" Dongfang Youdi muttered to himself before turning his gaze to Baihua Fairy, his peach blossom eyes gleaming.
Baihua Fairy’s elegant brows knitted slightly, and she glanced at Young Master Xie Qing.
