Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
T...touch him to death in seconds?
This fellow is boasting that he could touch the Dong family’s Third Head Enforcer to death in seconds?
Everyone present sat there with their eyes wide open, incredulous and shocked.
This was too crazy. First, he had killed Lu Zhouhe in front of the Third Head Enforcer without any mercy, flagrantly violating the Dong family’s taboos. And now, he was provoking him on purpose. He was simply asking to get killed!
“You...you have some nerve!” The Third Head Enforcer stared coldly at Xu Que with a murderous look. Clearly, he was losing his temper. He appreciated Xu Que, but he still considered himself Xu Que’s superior elder. But now, Xu Que had disregarded him and killed Lu Zhouhe without a second thought. Xu Que was not acting like an obedient youngster at all, and that instantly worsened his impression of him.
“Whether I have nerve or not is none of your goddamn business; just get out of my way. For the sake of Miss Dong, I’ll be merciful and not pick a fight with you!” Xu Que said proudly, like a haughty, handsome man.
Previously, he had maintained a low profile at the banquet to obtain the omnipotent Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew. Now that he had the Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew in hand, what was the point of keeping his head down?
As far as strength was concerned, even if the Third Head Enforcer had reached the Celestial Stage, Xu Que had nothing to fear. After all, as long as he had the Divine Escape Emblem, the whole world was his! Even if he can’t beat him, he’ll act tough, and then run away. What can anybody do about it.
“Insolent!” The Third Head Enforcer flew into a rage and his arms immediately transformed into metal. He flung them at Xu Que on a roaring wind.
Whoosh!
Xu Que raised an eyebrow and took another step back, easily dodging the blow. He sneered, “Third Head Enforcer, I suggest you stay in your lane. If you attack me again, then don’t blame me if I blow up your whole house. At worst, I’ll take care of Miss Dong in the future!”
After he spoke, the Dong family’s Third Head Enforcer was stunned with bewilderment. He didn’t know whether to be shocked at Xu Que’s words, impressed that he dodged his killing move once again, or both!
A young man who had twice evaded his attacks with ease...even fools could see that he was out of the ordinary.
Standing next to him, Miss Dong’s entire face had become red. Utterly furious, she stomped her tiny feet and retorted, “Wh...what nonsense is this? Who asked you to take care of me?”
“Oh, it’s better if I don’t have to. I wasn’t being serious!” Xu Que shrugged his shoulders.
“You...” Miss Dong’s face stiffened in an instant. She turned to the Third Head Enforcer and pleaded coyly, “Third Uncle, you have to do something about him!”
“Of course I do!” The Third Head Enforcer finally came to his senses. His muscled body shook, and he glowered at Xu Que. Then he said, “Youngster, you’re a brazen one. My Lin’er is the Dong family’s precious daughter. How dare you not take her seriously!”
“I can’t even say it as a joke?” Xu Que raised a brow and asked.
“No way!” Miss Dong and the Third Head Enforcer spoke in unison.
Miss Dong felt both ashamed and annoyed. She was but an innocent young lady, yet someone had teased her time and again. And now, that guy was mocking her in front of so many people, going as far as to say that he would “take care of her.” How could she possibly tolerate this?
“Youngster!” The Third Head Enforcer spoke in a deep voice. “No one can take back what they said. Today, no matter what, you must settle this affair with the Dong family.”
“Huh?” Xu Que was taken aback. “What do you mean?”
The Third Head Enforcer immediately scowled at him and snarled, “What do I mean? You just said that you would take care of Lin’er. Are you already going back on your word?”
Everyone was flabbergasted.
Oh, my god!
What does that even mean?
Had things gotten to the point where the Third Head Enforcer of the Dong family was willing to give Miss Dong to Xu Que in marriage?
Holy sh*t, is he crazy? How can something this good happen in this world? Has he hit the jackpot?
Even Xu Que and Miss Dong were struck dumb and frozen in place.
This was beyond Xu Que’s wildest imagination. He had thought that he was behaving badly enough to act tough, yet things still came to this! Just how much did the Dong family want to marry their daughter off? But glancing at her, she doesn’t seem like someone who would be short of suitors!
Unless...
Xu Que seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed. He gave a grave look at the Third Head Enforcer and declared, “Third Head Enf— I mean, Uncle Dong, I was wrong for offending you. Please forgive me!”
“Oh? I like this attitude!” The Third Enforcer was slightly astonished by Xu Que’s swift change of attitude, then he let out a meaningful laugh.
“Then let’s not beat around the bush and lay it on the line. Be straight with me, does this lady right here suffer from some unspeakable disease?” Xu Que asked mysteriously. However, everyone present heard him just fine.
Everyone stared at him in shock. What was that question for?
The Third Head Enforcer was astounded, then quickly retorted, “Youngster, don’t get too cocky! How could my Lin’er be diseased? Her health is impeccable!”
Miss Dong, standing aside, was fuming as well. She could no longer maintain her earlier calmness. Instead, she was staring daggers at Xu Que with a flushed face, gnashing her teeth.
“All right, I understand now!” Xu Que raised his hand.
Without notice, a watch had materialized on his wrist. With the sound of “duang”, the dial popped up and shot out a stream of light, directly hitting the young man standing closest to him!
Splat!
The young man looked dazed as if he were drunk. He took a few steps back, then dropped to the floor.
Before the gawking eyes of everyone on the scene, Xu Que put on a pair of square-frame glasses and grabbed the small red bow tie around his neck.
“Da-da-da-da-da-da...” The opening theme of “Detective Conan” blasted from his MP3 player.
Xu Que focused on the Dong family’s Third Head Enforcer and said in a low voice, “Third Head Enforcer, no need to hide it from me. Since you’re in such a hurry to marry her off, then there can only be one truth!”
Zap!
As he spoke, a white light flashed in Xu Que’s eyes. Suddenly, he flung his arm up and pointed at Miss Dong, then shouted, “Your little Miss Dong must be either a big-dicked cutie or a cross-dressing trap. All of this is a conspiracy!”
Wham!
In that instant, the whole place became as silent as the grave. Completely stupefied, everyone gaped at Xu Que in confusion. They had absolutely no idea what he was doing, much less what he was saying.
What big-dicked cutie?
What cross-dressing trap?
What do they mean?
Most important, can’t you talk like a normal person? Why did you have to tranquilize someone with a hidden weapon?
Ding! “Congratulations to host Xu Que for baffling everyone on scene! You have been rewarded with 500 Acting Tough Points!”
The system resounded in his head.
Xu Que’s lips twitched. That really worked? And he was only rewarded with 500 Acting Tough Points? Is this a joke?
“Youngster, what do you mean?” The Third Head Enforcer opened his mouth and scowled at Xu Que. Although he didn’t understand Xu Que’s words, he had a vague impression that they did not mean anything good.
Xu Que shook his head and replied casually, “The meaning isn’t important, what matters is the sincerity. As one of the Exploding Heavens Faction, when did I ever lack women throwing themselves at my feet? Go out and ask around yourself. If all the women who wanted to marry me lined up, they could circle the Taijin Continent more than once!”
“But I, Wang Dachui, have wandered about my whole life, training my heart to be impervious. Beauty can no longer move me.”
“Today, you asked to offer Miss Dong’s hand in marriage to me. If I accept, not only is it unfair to all the other ladies, but it will also affect the Taoist Mind that I have cultivated painstakingly for all these years.”
As Xu Que finished talking, people were stunned. Even the Third Head Enforcer gawked in disbelief. There is someone in the world who would reject the Dong family’s daughter?
“All right, I’ll spare you the rest. Follow me, Miss Dong!” Xu Que was already standing before Miss Dong.
Miss Dong was just as startled and didn’t react for a moment. She asked in a confused voice, “Wh...where are we going?”
Xu Que answered in earnest, “To the bridal chamber! Don’t worry, I promise I won’t put it in, just rub it on the outside! I must prove to them that my unaffectable Taoist Mind is as steadfast as can be!”
