Chapter 9: Zhenqiu City
As they flied upwards, the temperature seems to becoming more and more warmer. But it was taking a lot of time to go to the surface by flying. Two grown up men with just one weapon will decrease the speed of their flying tremendously, even though it was a five-star battle axe. It took two days and a half for them to fly to the surface and two more days for them to go to the Fire Kingdom.
George didn't know how much he fainted on the way to the surface. And he doesn't want to do something like that again.
He then sighed calmly and looked around while covering the sun with his hands. "Sigh.. The sun is a deadly laser~"
Li Weixiang confused by George's word. "Brother Ma, what is the laser thingy you said? Is it deadly?! if it is, i'd like to buy one."
Uhh... It's just a jingle from that famous youtube video made by bill wurtz..
George scratched his head while saying "It's just a metaphor about how the sun is too dazzling, so if you looked at them, your eyes might hurt and it can lead to blindness. That's why it's a deadly laser."
"Ah.. I didn't know that brother is a scholar!"
George only smiled when Li Weixiang said that. But he heard another nostalgic jingle inside his head.
「Ding! In that cas-」
Before the mighty salesman completely talking, George immediately refused it. He wants to save money, so he could buy a shop later, not wasting for some sunglasses bullsh*t!
「Tch ! Why do i keep failing.」
George rolled his eyes when he heard that. But, before he completely rolled his eyes, Li Weixiang suddenly sped up the flying battle axe to the one of the most prestigious city in the Fire Kingdom, Zhenqiu city.
This time, George isn't so scared, because it wasn't as high as flying to the surface from the bottom of the bottomless cliff. It was a child play if it compared to that.
...
At the Li's residence, Zhenqiu city.
A man in a black robe with a few people comes knocking on the door of the Li's residence. "Madam Li.. I'm so sorry to tell you that.. Your husband is.." One of the female said while sobbing.
One of the man added "Madam Li, please restrain your grief." they said their condolences, but in their heart they sneered at Li's family. "Hmph! Let's get this over with, The house of Li doesn't have any heir and all they have is daughters. Let's kill the madam and sold all of his daughters! With these trashes got rid off to, we could get all of the five-star weapons and all of his money!" He thought.
Madam Li when she heard what they are saying suddenly fainted in place. Two of the daughter cried hysterically. Even the servants are shocked by that. They immediately helped the Madam and put her back in her bedroom.
But soon, Madam Li awoke and cried like two of her daughters. She immediately go outside and said "What.. happened to my husband?" Said Madam Li while she rubbed her eyes until it becomes red.
One of the men replied "When we are hunting in the forest near the bottomless cliff, there's suddenly a group of thieves that wanted to rob us. We naturally beat those thieves, but we didn't think that one of them faked his death. That thief suddenly grabbed your husband and jumpes off to the cliff."
Madam Li unconvinced when he heard that story. There's so many plot holes. "This is fishy.. Why is my husband didn't notice any life force? He is not just any regular person. He's at the sixth realm of cultivation, the Nascent Soul stage." she thought.
Madam Li then stopped crying and then asked "Then why are you coming back now? The hunting trip is supposed to be a three day trip, but you guys coming back here a month later?"
"Of course, We tried to ventures into the bottomless cliff to search for his corpse, but we didn't found anything. The cliff is indeed bottomless." He said that, but actually they found an abandoned immortal cave and decided to loot the treasure inside.
When Madam Li heard that, she was being more cautious with them. "Okay.. Thank you for telling me this news.. Now, i'd like to have some time and space to mourn for my husband. Could you guys leave for now?". She know that it was rude to kick guests, but she felt that something is fishy about this group of people.
Even though they don't want to leave this place, they had to.. or else the backing of Li's family will kill all of them, so they gritted their teeth and go out from the Li's Residence.
...
Meanwhile, George and Li Weixiang arrived at the Zhenqiu city.
"Woah.. i never saw something like this in my past life! It's really crowded. And there's all kind of food in here!"
Seeing George's fascination, Li Weixiang felt pride, even though he doesn't own the city. He then replied "Of course! This city is one of the most prestigious city in the Fire Kingdom, so it's crowded!"
George nodded in excitement "I'd like to try the foods.. I smell some of the foods there and it was absolutely fragrant!" He pointed his finger at a certain restaurant.
As Li Weixiang saw the restaurant, he agreed that it was the most popular restaurant and it was one of his favorite restaurant. But then, he saw a group of people in black robes chatting and laughing loudly.
A man in a black robe suddenly said "Did you see Madam Li's crying face? Hahaha!!! We are almost there! A five-star weapons! All of his money! We have to get them all!" And then all of them laughed loudly while drinking some wine.
Li Weixiang's face frowned immediately after he heard them.
It was them! Hehehe... To think that i saw them while i go back... I'm really lucky, huh? You guys are asking for it! I'll kill you guys and feed all of you to a beast! Hehe... Hu Jiaohua.. Yang Qiao... Why did you guys betray this lord?! I'll let you guys taste a life worst than death!
Chapter 10: The Wrath of Godfather Li
"Let's go to my house first, shall we? I'll introduce Brother Ma to my wife and daughters." Smiled Li Weixiang.
Li Weixiang didn't want George to see his revenge. Because he might get caught in it or get hurt. Even though his cultivation state is the same as him, he forgot everything about this world, so he didn't want to risk losing his newfound brother.
George nodded his head "Mmn.. i don't have anything to do anyways.."
"Let's go there on foot! It's only a few blocks away."
While they walked, George seems to notice the strange looks of those people passerby.
"What's happening? Am i too handsome or what? Now that they looked at me like that, i'm getting interested to see my face. Hehe..." George thought.
But in reality, people are shocked when they saw Li Weixiang's face. He smiled viciously as they walked to Li's Residence. When the passerby saw his smile, all of them ran away quickly. They know that something is going to happen soon.
...
When they arrived, the servant that opened the door surprised by the presence of Li Weixiang. She immediately reported the news to the madam and the young mistress.
The madam isn't too shocked by that, he know that something fishy is going on, so she didn't completely trust that story. Even though she fainted when she heard it in the first time, she still have her brain to think.
Soon, the Madam Li and two of his daughters came and greeted Li Weixiang. The madam saw the man with a familiar face beside his husband and tried to remember the name of the man, but she can't remember a thing. "This is?" She asked.
Li Weixiang smiled and replied "This is Brother Ma, Without him, i'd have died because of that ungrateful b*tch! And Brother Ma, this is my wife and my two daughters. Very beautiful right?"
Madam Li smiled at George sweetly and then she asked Li Weixiang coldly "Who is this ungrateful b*tch that you just said? Did you cheat on me?"
Uwaahh... That's escalated very quick. Wait.. aren't people in this era liked to have concubines or something like that? Well.. It's their own choice anyway..
"No.. it's that Hu Jiaohua and her men! How dare she put sleeping pills in my food and then she bribes Yang Qiao to gang up on me while i was asleep! After dislocating my bones and messing with my meridians, they throwed me to the bottomless cliff. Fortunately there's Brother Ma in there, or else..."
Everyone breathed out a mouthful of cold breath. Every servants and people there instantly mad when they heard that. "Hu Jiaohua and Yang Qiao is it?! Good! We, The Li's family will return the favor with interest!" A steward suddenly said that.
And then all of the servants agreed with him and then they are dispersed.
Only George was confused... "Wut? This family is kinda odd.. The servants is kinda scary too!" he thought.
Li Weixiang realized the confusion from George's eyes, so he coughed awkwardly. "Cough! I still have some business to attend to. Brother Ma, You can stay in my house for a while. I'll come back later to discuss things later."
George nodded in agreement. "Okay.. You can relax and finish those business first. But is it really appropriate tho to live inside your house?"
Madam Li replied "Of course it is. You are our benefactor! We can't be stingy to our benefactor! If you have any trouble inside this Zhenqiu city, just tell them my husband's name and no one would make trouble with you." Smiled Madam Li.
"Ahaha... Okay then. Thank you very much for letting me freeloading for a while."
Li Weixiang and his wife laughed out loud to George's word. No one ever said something like that before.
"You must be tired from your journey to here." Madam Li then summoned a maid and make an arrangements to lead George to a room. "I'll call you when we are going to have dinner. Just make yourself feel at home!"
When Madam Li go outside, she can't help but wondering why did his face looks familiar? But she ignored it.
...
Meanwhile at the courtyard of Li's Residence.
There's more than fifty soldier like servants with a relatively strong cultivation state awaiting Li Weixiang's orders. When Li Weixiang and his steward came out, the servants kneeled and said in unison "What's your order, Godfather Li?"
"Kill everyone related to Hu Jiaohua and Yang Qiao! But, don't kill Hu Jiaohua and Yang Qiao.. They need to live a life that's worst than death! Do they think that i'm such a pushover?! Hmph!" He snorted.
Everyone replied in unison "Yes, Godfather Li!"
And soon a large army went hunting those who is related to Hu Jiaohua and Yang Qiao. They kidnapped them first to lure the main fish. And then they would kill them with a swoop.
Everybody is in cold breath when they saw that large army coming out from Li's Residence. They wondered who are the people who offended Li Weixiang. He was a famous tyrant who pays both gratitude and animosity with interest. All people who offended him usually turned into a dead meat, but if someone have his favor, he'll be very generous.
This time.. Godfather Li must be very angry to commands this many soldiers to hunt someone. Even Godfather Li himself joined the hunt. People passerby couldn't help but shuddered and think themself "I haven't offended Godfather Li, am i?"
