Chapter 652 The Young Man Was Extraordinary
Qin Haodong asked, “Where are the other people?”
“Today is a special day and everyone is at my house.”
Li Jiumei explained and led them around the corner. There was a lofty main building in front of them and countless people were gathered around it. All the people of the Hmong Village were here.
“Hey, villagers, we have brought our sister back!”
Li Jiu shouted excitedly in a loud voice and the entire village almost trembled.
Everyone looked over after hearing what he said and they saw Li Jiumei, who went in first and Qin Haodong, who was standing beside her.
“The Holy Virgin is back! The Holy Virgin is back! She seems to be even more beautiful than she was before!”
“Who is the man standing next to her? Is it the person chosen by the Holy Virgin?”
“I remembered that the patriarch said that Great Bear will be her husband. Where did this weak man come from?”
Qin Haodong strode over and realized that all the people here had their eyes fixed on him. But he was prepared and knew that he would definitely be the focus of the entire village today because he was Li Jiumei’s husband.
A strong old man dressed in a gown was standing in the middle of the crowd, holding a black cane in his hand. He seemed to be in his 70s or 80s, but his eyes were bright and he seemed to be able to see through one’s mind.
He was Li Wanquan, the leader of the Hmong Village and Li Jiumei’s grandfather.
There was a middle-aged couple in their 50s standing next to him. The man, who was tall and strong, must be Jiumei’s father. They looked alike and Qin Haodong recognized him even without any prior introduction. He looked almost the same as the three brothers, but of course, he was the older version.
He was Li Longhai, Li Jiumei’s father.
The middle-aged woman standing next to him was Song Ying, Li Jiumei’s mother. She was dressed simply, but she still looked charming and enchanting. She and her daughter shared the same facial features.
It seemed that Li Jiumei was right. Her mother was a great beauty and was also loyal to her father.
Li Jiumei whispered a brief introduction of her family members to Qin Haodong.
Qin Haodong asked, “Is your grandma surnamed Long? Is that why your father is named Li Longhai?”
“No.” Li Jiumei said, “I heard that there was a man named Longhai who competed with my grandpa for grandma. So my father was named Li Longhai.”
Well… This old man was scheming. Qin realized that he had to be careful not to be deceived by his honest appearance.
They came up to the old man while talking and Li Jiumei rushed to hold Li Wanquan’s hands, “Grandpa, I’m back.”
“That’s great. ” Li Jiumei’s eyes were fixed on Qin Haodong and he asked, “Who is this young man?”
“This is my man, Qin Haodong.”
Li Jiumei directly told them the truth without hiding anything.
A strong young man rushed over when she just finished speaking. He stared at Qin Haodong and said, “Chief, didn’t you say that you would let me marry Jiumei? Why did she bring another man back here?”
He was the man Jiumei had mentioned before. He was also a well-known warrior in Hmong Village. When he was 15 years old, he killed a black bear with his bare hands and that was the reason why all the people here called him Great Bear.
Before Li Wanquan could answer, Li Jiumei said, “On the day I became the Holy Virgin, Grandpa promised me that I can choose my husband all by myself and no one can make the decision for me. It’s totally up to me.”
“What…”
Li Jiumei was the Holy Virgin of the Hmong Village and she was highly respected. Great Bear did not dare to confront her. So he turned around and vented his anger on this young man who looked weak and useless.
“Kid, I want to challenge you!”
Song Ying pulled Li Jiumei to her side and whispered, “Daughter, your man looks handsome, but he’s too weak. Do you want me to offer some help? If Daxiong wounds him, you will be upset.”
Li Jiumei said, “Mom, there’s no need to help him. Just let Great Bear challenge him. I think it will be better if he is taught a lesson.”
At this moment, Great Bear was surrounded by the three brothers. They knew each other since they were still kids. This guy looked strong and brave, but he was at the same level as them.
It was ridiculous for him to challenge Qin Haodong. After all, they were no match for Qin who was a ninth-level master.
“Great Bear, don’t be stupid. My brother-in-law is very powerful and you’ll be at a disadvantage…”
“Yes, Great Bear, you’re no match for him, although he is not as good as us brothers…”
“Great Bear, we have known each other since we were still kids. Just listen to me and don’t challenge him…”
The three brothers knew how powerful Qin Haodong was, so they tried to persuade Great Bear to give up. But he thought that they were trying to protect their new brother-in-law.
“You guys are so ungrateful. Do you still remember that we grew up together since we were kids? Why are you helping him rather than me? We’re no longer friends!”
Great Bear looked at the three brothers with contempt. Then he took off his coat, revealing his stone-like muscles. He pointed at Qin and shouted, “Boy! Do you dare to fight with me?”
The three brothers shook their heads, turned around and took out the medicine chest from their house.
This was meant for Great Bear, but the onlookers thought that they were preparing the treatment for their brother-in-law.
Li Wanquan did not say anything. He sat still and watched, with a smile on his face. In fact, Great Bear’s behavior did not violate the rules of Hmong Village. He also thought that a young man should be brave and it would be fine as long as no one was killed.
At the same time, he looked at Qin Haodong and wondered why his proud granddaughter chose this man. Was he a good-for-nothing playboy or a man with skills?
Qin Haodong glanced at Great Bear and said, “We’re all relatives and it’s not good for us to fight with each other. I don’t think it’s a good idea.”
Great Bear widened his eyes and shouted, “Really? Then get out of here if you dare not compete with me! We don’t welcome cowards here!”
The other young men were also furious to see their goddess married to a playboy. They followed suit and shouted, “Yes! We don’t welcome cowards here!”
“Get out of here if you don’t want to take up the challenge!”
Seeing that he could not refuse, Qin Haodong turned to look at Li Jiumei and said, “I have to do this.”
Li Jiumei nodded and said, “My brothers have already prepared the medicine chest. Just control yourself and don’t hurt them too much.”
“Got it!”
Qin Haodong realized that the people here in Hmong Village respected brave warriors. If he kept being humble, he would be regarded as a coward.
He stepped forward and said, “Let’s get started!”
“You’re a guest. I’ll let you have three moves first.”
Great Bear raised his hand and pounded his chest, roaring crazily, “Come on, hit me!”
All the three brothers closed their eyes and did not want to watch the tragedy.
Li Jiushuai brought out another iron basin and Li Jiugao asked, “Bro, what are you doing?”
Li Jiushuai explained, “This guy will definitely vomit blood later. We can catch it with the basin, or it will be a waste of resources!”
Seeing that this strong guy would not give up fighting with him, Qin Haodong shook his head and poked him in the chest with a finger.
This was just like a joke for the onlookers. It was so light and gentle that nobody believed he could defeat Great Bear.
Just as the onlookers were about to laugh at him, Great Bear was suddenly sent flying ten meters away as if he was a cannonball. He slammed into a big tree with a bang and then fell to the ground, with his face bruised.
Fortunately, Qin Haodong just wanted to teach him a lesson, so he did not use all his strength.
Great Bear just had some superficial wounds, which was not a big deal for him. He got up, roared like a beast and rushed toward Qin Haodong with his fists, which were as big as clay pots.
Qin Haodong did not dodge and instead let his fists hit him in the chest.
The onlookers uttered a cry of surprise. They clearly knew how strong Great Bear was. This guy once killed a mad bull with his fists.
This weak young man might even be killed by Great Bear this time.
The onlookers were worried but Qin Haodong stood still, while Great Bear was blown away again as if he had been hit by something heavy. Then he crashed into the big tree behind him once again.
The three brothers shook their heads once again and they were sure that they could not be compared to Qin Haodong.
Qin Haodong walked up to him and asked with a smile, “How’s it going? Do you want to fight with me again?”
“What…”
Great Bear was completely dumbfounded. He had never met such a powerful opponent in his entire life. He could not even resist one of his fingers.
“I give up!”
He was a straightforward person. He came out to challenge him because he did not think that this young man was a match for the Holy Virgin. But now he knew Qin was a master and he was completely convinced.
The onlookers finally realized how powerful the husband of their Holy Virgin was. They cheered and applauded for a long time.
Li Wanquan stood up and looked at Qin Haodong with satisfaction. Then he asked, “Is there anyone else who wants to challenge this young man?”
The young men in the village remained silent after watching Qin defeat Great Bear, the strongest man in this place.
Li Wanquan said, “Since everyone agrees, let’s start drinking.”
They had already prepared a feast while waiting for Li Jiumei and the others to come back. The chief gave the order and all the people sat down at the table.
Li Jiumei brought Qin Haodong and they sat with her family at the same table. The dishes on the table were all delicacies from the mountains.
Qin Haodong had been walking for the entire day. He was hungry and was about to pick up his chopsticks. But suddenly Great Bear came over with a wine jar.
“Warrior, try our wine. This is unique to our village. Let’s get hammered today!”
His intention was quite obvious. He wanted to drink him under the table since he was no match for this young man in martial arts.
