The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 742: I won’t give this face!_1

Li Qing looked at the aggressive man before him, his expression gradually growing colder.

It was as if he didn’t exist at all.

It was clear that this fellow was very confident in his family background; he probably often used this method to pursue women he fancied, and his success rate was very high.

The overconfident smirk on his face practically spelled out "high success rate."

But today, he truly picked the wrong person. Jing Yan could pinch a few bricks from her Underground Palace and probably amass five million.

"Husband, is five million money? Is it a lot?" Jing Yan turned her head and asked Li Qing.

Li Qing smiled, "The things you gave me today could probably be exchanged for many sets of five million."

"So, he’s just from a family of modest wealth. I thought his family had a more illustrious background, to make him act so brazen," Jing Yan sneered coldly.

The moment the man heard this, his confident smile immediately froze on his face.

"Lady, it’s not just five million I’m offering. A luxury car and mansion would easily cost a small ten million. The price I’m offering is very generous; surely that can’t be considered modest wealth?" the man called out.

"A small ten million, which is about two sets of five million, right? With just that amount of money, you think you are wealthy? A frog in the well who has never seen the world, a louse that hasn’t been exposed to society, in the future, you should keep your ignorant bravado to yourself, it’s nothing but a nuisance," Jing Yan said with a cold voice.

"No, ten million, that’s just the sincerity I’m offering you, and you’re still finding it too little? Woman, you’ve successfully got my attention. I’ll add another ten million for you. Follow me for twenty million, and from now on, I’ll give you tens of millions every month for your living expenses!" the man declared with high spirits.

The people nearby quickly tugged at him, whispering a few words of caution, probably about not getting too carried away with his bold claims.

However, the gentleman in his suit and leather shoes was clearly getting ahead of himself, ignoring the advice of those around him, he waved his arms and called out to Jing Yan, "How about that? As long as you leave with me now, all of this will be yours."

Jing Yan looked at Li Qing with a gentle gaze and softly asked, "Husband, may I hit him now?"

"There’s no need for you to dirty your hands with something like hitting people. I’ll handle it," Li Qing said. "He’s challenging for you right in front of me, and that’s a slap to my face. I need to reclaim my own dignity; it doesn’t make sense for you, Yan’er, to take action."

"It sounds like Husband might not be able to beat him though," Jing Yan chuckled softly.

Li Qing looked slightly stunned, "Is he that powerful?"

"About Qi Cultivation Peak," Jing Yan chuckled, "Let me do it, Husband. Do you want me to twist him into a ball or squash him into a cube? By trying to use wealth to forcefully take me away in front of Husband, he’s showing disrespect to you. It’s only right that I retrieve that dignity for you."

Though Li Qing felt some pressure upon hearing the man was at the Qi Cultivation Peak, it was just a slight concern.

"Yan’er, you’ve forgotten, my strength can’t be simply judged by my actual realm. I still have means to deal with him," Li Qing said with a smile.

"Husband, for such people, slapping them across the face is the only way to truly vent one’s anger. Your methods, although strong, could take a life if you proceed, which is not suitable. Let me handle it," Jing Yan stated.

At that moment, Qulou, who had been carefully standing by, said, "Junior Uncle, why not let this disciple take on the task for you? With my Second Layer Foundation Establishment, I won’t end up killing him, yet I should easily suppress him, which would be just right."

"This is my private matter, so don’t get involved," Li Qing waved his hand and said.

"Junior Uncle, if they disrespect you in our Nine Truth Palace, they are disrespecting the Nine Truth Palace itself. Punishment is due, and it’s only right for your disciple to be the vanguard," Qulou said with a slight bow. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The man in the suit overheard the trio’s conversation, and his expression twisted gradually.

"What do you mean by that? Are you making fun of me, Chang Qisheng?" the man sneered threateningly, "Do you know who I am? My family name is Chang. I tell you, don’t reject a face given to you. I’ve set my mind on that woman today."

"I politely spoke to you, and you treat me like I’m nothing. Fine, then. I also won’t give you any face. Now, I demand that you hand over that woman to me courteously. Otherwise, none of you will escape a miserable death."

"And woman, let me tell you, you’ve succeeded in angering me. Now, you won’t get any luxury cars or mansions or five million. You won’t get a dime, nor will you have the chance to live a carefree, wealthy life. I will keep you caged like an animal!"

The murderous intent on Li Qing’s face surged instantly, sweeping over Chang Qisheng like something tangible. As he uttered a complex syllable, the Black Arrow that had been lying quietly in his pocket shot out at lightning speed.

Although Chang Qisheng talked a big game as if he was invincible, his skills were somewhat lacking.

Facing the swiftly incoming Black Arrow, he just stood frozen in place, with no reaction whatsoever.

It was a middle-aged man standing next to him who reacted quickly, crying out a word of caution and shoving Chang Qisheng out of the way.

But he wasn’t so lucky himself, as the Black Arrow, deflected off its path, shot straight through his shoulder, boring a hole from which one could see clear through to the other side.

"Fellow daoist, is it necessary to injure others so grievously upon your first move?" the man hadn’t finished speaking when a rolling thunder suddenly descended.

The Heavenly Thunder knew exactly what Li Qing had in mind, striking down directly onto Chang Qisheng, with purple lightning wrapping around him as if he were encased in a cocoon.

This was actually a bit beyond Li Qing’s expectations. His initial thought had been to use the Heavenly Thunder to distract the opponent so he could use the Black Arrow to strip his Divine Soul, rendering the brat useless in one strike.

After all, the guy was at the peak of Qi Cultivation, and Li Qing was worried he might have some other tricks up his sleeve.

His strength was an entire half realm below his opponent; Li Qing found the safest approach was a blitzkrieg, leaving the youngster no chance for retaliation. But he hadn’t expected the Purple Heaven Thunder to actually home in on this fellow with such ferocity, as if he had committed some unforgivable sin.

"Thunder Method!" the middle-aged man’s expression became stern, "At such a young age, your attack is so vicious. Haven’t your elders taught you to leave some leeway in your actions?"

"Sorry to disappoint, but no, they didn’t. My master told me to offend people to the death, and he’s got my back!" Li Qing scoffed, uttering another complex syllable. Another bolt of purple thunder appeared out of nowhere, coiling around Chang Qisheng, causing the arrogant young man to scream as though being slaughtered.
