Chapter 291: Joker
Qin Tuo shook his head, a little exasperated.
After watching TV for a while, he prepared to sleep.
Qin Tuo lay on the sofa, but instead of sleeping, he closed his eyes to rest and slowly cultivated.
Now that he was in the Provincial City, Qin Tuo had a very strange feeling.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here in the Provincial City seemed to be exceptionally denser than in Ming City.
’No wonder it could become the Provincial City. Even the Spiritual Qi here is exceptionally abundant, and there are far more Martial Artists!’
Qin Tuo guessed to himself that this was one of the reasons.
Before long, a knock suddenly sounded at the door.
Qin Tuo was a bit surprised. ’Who could be visiting at this hour?’
He opened the door and saw that it was Ouyang Lei.
The moment he saw Ouyang Lei, Qin Tuo’s expression turned a little unnatural.
He remembered that this kid had fled at the critical moment.
When Ouyang Lei saw Qin Tuo open the door, he jumped in fright, thinking he had seen a ghost!
In Ouyang Lei’s mind, Qin Tuo had provoked Brother Scar and surely couldn’t have survived. How was he still standing here perfectly fine?
"Oh my god, are you a man or a ghost?"
Ouyang Lei was so scared he stumbled back two steps.
Qin Tuo shot Ouyang Lei a cold glance and turned to walk back inside.
Ouyang Lei, on the other hand, timidly and slowly entered the room.
He stared intently at Qin Tuo, furrowed his brow, and said:
"This isn’t right. Brother Scar came after you himself, and there were so many thugs in the bar. How could you possibly be unscathed?"
Qin Tuo sneered and said:
"Oh? It sounds like you were hoping something would happen to me, is that it?"
Ouyang Lei was instantly embarrassed and quickly waved his hands.
"No, no, brother-in-law, I’m just curious. How did you manage to break out of an encirclement with so many people?"
Qin Tuo said casually.
"That’s simple. I taught that scar-faced guy a harsh lesson!"
Hearing this, Ouyang Lei’s heart sank, his face full of disbelief.
"What? Brother-in-law, you hit Brother Scar? How is that possible?"
In Ouyang Lei’s eyes, Brother Scar was like the local Emperor of Rose Bar.
Qin Tuo’s next sentence gave him another huge shock.
"Not only did I beat that guy, I also defeated Qiangwei, the person behind Rose Bar!"
"What? Are you kidding me?"
Ouyang Lei’s eyes went wide, and his jaw dropped.
To someone like Ouyang Lei, Qiangwei was an untouchable figure, high and mighty. How could she possibly be defeated?
And by Qin Tuo, of all people!
Qin Tuo snorted.
"Believe it or not, if I hadn’t defeated Qiangwei, how could I possibly be back here?"
Hearing this, Ouyang Lei was starting to believe him.
But he asked hesitantly:
"That’s not right, brother-in-law. Since you offended Qiangwei, why hasn’t Rose Hall come looking for trouble?"
Seeing Ouyang Lei determined to get to the bottom of things, Qin Tuo said irritably:
"After I defeated Qiangwei, she was completely convinced of my superiority and even ordered all of Rose Hall to listen to me. Do you get it now?"
Ouyang Lei stood there as if petrified, unable to move. His mind went completely blank.
Qin Tuo’s words echoed in his mind, each one hitting him with unbelievable force!
The next moment, his mind started buzzing with new thoughts.
"Oh my god, brother-in-law, this is great! I can’t believe you’re backed by Rose Hall now. Doesn’t that mean I’ll be able to do whatever I want in the Provincial City from now on?"
Qin Tuo instantly decided to ignore the guy.
’The first thing Ouyang Lei thought of was going out to throw his weight around?’
Seeing Qin Tuo ignoring him, Ouyang Lei quickly sidled up to him, a fawning smile on his face.
"Come on, brother-in-law, don’t be mad. I didn’t mean to abandon you there before!"
Qin Tuo remained expressionless, simply closing his eyes and continuing his cultivation.
Ouyang Lei started pestering him relentlessly.
"Brother-in-law, from now on you’re my one and only real brother-in-law! I’ll only acknowledge you! You’ve gotta watch my back!"
The thought of having Qin Tuo’s protection, allowing him to run rampant throughout the entire Provincial City, made Ouyang Lei’s heart bloom with joy.
The commotion woke up Ouyang Feifei. She opened her door and saw Ouyang Lei calling out "brother-in-law" this and "brother-in-law" that, acting extremely chummy.
Instantly, Ouyang Feifei’s face flushed red with anger. She snapped irritably:
"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting now? Get back to your own place!"
Ouyang Lei chuckled, rubbing his hands together.
"Sis, when are you and my brother-in-law going to hurry up and get married? What if a great guy like him gets snatched away by another woman?"
Seeing Ouyang Lei rambling on without a filter, Ouyang Feifei’s face turned dark with fury.
Qin Tuo, however, just gave a helpless smile. He too felt that Ouyang Lei was a real character.
Ouyang Feifei marched right over, rolled up her sleeves, and grabbed Ouyang Lei by the ear.
"Ow! Sis, that hurts! It really hurts! Let go, quick!"
Ouyang Lei was terrified and begged for mercy repeatedly.
Ouyang Feifei ignored him and dragged him straight to the door.
"You brat, don’t come here again unless you have a good reason!"
With that, she threw Ouyang Lei out the door.
THUD!
Ouyang Lei fell to the ground, yelping continuously.
But Ouyang Feifei knew her brother was an unreliable bum and wasn’t the least bit worried about him. She slammed the door shut.
Ouyang Lei pounded on the door, shouting loudly.
"Brother-in-law, open the door, quick! My sister won’t let me in, but you’re not going to be so heartless too, are you?"
It was obvious, however, that Qin Tuo was treating Ouyang Lei’s words as thin air, filtering them out completely.
Ouyang Feifei couldn’t help but glance at Qin Tuo, looking a little guilty.
Qin Tuo opened his mouth, about to say something to Ouyang Feifei.
But unexpectedly, Ouyang Feifei jumped in fright, scurried back to her room like a startled rabbit, and, without a doubt, slammed the door shut and locked it again.
Seeing this, Qin Tuo was left looking stunned.
’She didn’t expect Ouyang Feifei to be so on guard against him?’
Thinking of Ouyang Feifei’s flustered and timid expression just now, Qin Tuo couldn’t help but chuckle.
Ouyang Lei kept pounding on the door, but after a while, he seemed to realize it was hopeless and left, dejected.
However, he had made up his mind. From now on, he would cling tightly to Qin Tuo’s thigh.
Qin Tuo gradually fell asleep, and the Spiritual Qi within the Celestial King Order slowly flowed out, nourishing his entire body.
At this moment, Qin Tuo didn’t feel that his own cultivation realm was already loosening bit by bit, then slowly climbing upward.
The Ninth Layer of Qi Refining was gradually approaching the Foundation Establishment Stage...
