Chapter 203 - 200: Going Home
Amidst a flurry of paper scraps, two rotten apples plummeted, accelerating as they fell.
Ye Xing frowned and quickly dodged out of the way.
SPLAT!
The two rotten apples smashed onto the ground, their rotting juice splattering everywhere and releasing a foul stench.
An ordinary person, caught off guard by the falling apples, would have surely been hit. Only a Martial Artist like Ye Xing, at the Peak of the Martial Arts Fifth Realm, could so easily dodge them.
In addition to the rotten apples, paper scraps fluttered through the air. Dust clouded the sky, drifting down and polluting the surrounding air.
"Hey! You on the seventh floor! Have some decency! Why are you dumping your trash from up there?!"
Ye Xing yelled up toward the seventh floor, his voice low and stern.
Ye Xing had read about despicable acts like dumping trash from high-rises, but he’d never expected to witness it firsthand. The people who did such things weren’t just appallingly lazy; they had absolutely no decency. They took the easy way out by casually tossing their garbage, while pedestrians below had to suffer. The trash scattered, and inhaling the dust and germs could be seriously harmful to one’s health. The rotten apples posed an even greater threat. It might not seem like much, but it was still an object thrown from a great height. If one hit somebody on the head, it would be far more than just disgusting and messy—it could cause a concussion.
CREAK!
In response to Ye Xing’s shout, a soft sound came from the seventh floor as the window opened again. A beefy-faced man stuck his head out, glaring down at Ye Xing with a nasty expression. "What are you yelling about, kid? You looking for a fight?!"
The man’s attitude was incredibly arrogant, and he had the air of a thug; you could tell at a glance he was bad news. An ordinary person would have likely backed down after being yelled at like that.

Ye Xing’s brow furrowed. "What?" he said, his voice low. "You think you’re in the right for dumping trash? There are two huge dumpsters right down here. Are you blind? Dumping it from that high up... have you no decency at all?!"
"None of your damn business! Which one of your eyes saw me do it? So what if I love dumping trash? What are you gonna do about it?!" the man sneered. With a SLAM, he shut the window again.
’What a fucking jerk. It takes all kinds, I guess,’ a cold glint flashed in Ye Xing’s eyes before he reined it in. He shook his head. ’Forget it. It’s pointless to argue with people like this. I’ll just report it to property management.’
Ye Xing immediately took out his phone and called the property management office.
"Hello, you’ve reached the Ice Sea New City Property Management Office. How can I help you?" a clear female voice said over the phone.
"Yes, I’d like to file a complaint. I just saw someone dumping trash from their high-rise apartment. The address is Building 8, unit 701..."
"Understood. Thank you for reporting this. Dumping trash from apartments is a serious violation and highly inappropriate. We will send someone to investigate and address the situation shortly."
"Good. I hope you can resolve this. If this happens a few more times, the air quality in the whole complex will go down the drain."
After filing the complaint, Ye Xing hung up and walked toward his own building.
Ye Xing lived on the fifth floor. He took out his key, inserted it into the lock, and gave it a slight turn.
With a CREAK!, the security door swung open.
"Dad, Mom! Heh, I’m home!"
Ye Xing walked into his home, carrying a bag.
