The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 762 - 758

Zhu Mingda nodded his head in satisfaction upon seeing the despairing expressions on the faces of Zhao Wukong and the others, and said, "Younger brother Zhao, my son broke through to the Innate Realm just three days ago, and I myself broke through to the Middle Stage of the Innate Realm three months ago. I’m genuinely worried about you! You have only two daughters; who will inherit your City Lord’s Mansion in the future?"

With a smile, Zhu Mingda continued to look at Zhao Wukong and said, "That’s why I’m here today with my son, to pay a visit and to propose a marriage. Given my son’s age of thirty and his strength at the Initial Stage of the Innate Realm, even among much larger sects, this is considered as exceptional talent."

As Zhu Mingda saw Zhao Wukong’s face change with ugly expressions, his tone grew even more arrogant, "Brother Zhao, I’m offering you this out of our past friendship. Both your children are merely at the Lower Grade of the Heaven Rank. In other words, having your daughters marry my son would actually be your Zhao family reaching above its station."

Zhao Wukong clenched his fists tightly as he listened to Zhu Mingda’s sickening words, and the aura of someone at the Initial Stage of the Innate Realm around him boiled with rage. Yet, feeling Zhu Mingda’s Middle Stage Innate Realm aura, he could only suppress his anger again and again. He knew very well that even without fighting, he was no match for Zhu Mingda.

With the rage burning in his heart under control, Zhao Wukong spoke with a rigid voice, "Zhu Mingda, I must ask you to leave my City Lord’s Mansion at once; I will not have my daughters marry your son."

As Zhao Wukong and Zhu Mingda spoke, all the guards in the mansion gathered. In Zhao Wukong’s City Lord’s Mansion, there was one High Grade expert at the Heaven Rank, three Middle Grade, and ten Lower Grade, while the rest of the guards were at the Earth Rank and Profound Rank levels.

Zhu Mingda, upon seeing these guards, remained unfazed, and with a smile asked, "Brother Zhao, is this how you welcome your guests?"

With a scoffing noise, Zhu Mingda’s voice turned colder, "Brother Zhao, both my son and I are experts of the Innate Realm. You have only reached the Initial Stage of the Innate Realm by yourself, and I am confident I can deal with you in minutes. As for your guards, they are all trash in our presence; there is an insurmountable gulf between the Heaven Rank and the Innate Realm."

As Zhu Mingda made no effort to conceal his threats, Zhao Wukong’s breathing became heavier, and he demanded in a fierce voice, "Zhu Mingda, what exactly do you want today? Don’t push people too far."

Zhu Mingda sneered, "Brother Zhao, the Ancient Martial World has always respected the strong. If you were stronger than me, you could coerce me instead! Unfortunately, you don’t have the capability."

"I will not mince words, I am here to propose for my son today," Zhu Mingda said with conviction.

"Old man Zhu, you’re dreaming if you think that I and my sister would marry your disgusting son. Even in death, we would never marry him," the headstrong Zhao Yuanyuan finally couldn’t hold back and spoke up.

Ye Chenfeng, seeing how the situation had evolved, had also somewhat understood what was happening. If Zhu Mingda and his people were to make a move later, he wouldn’t mind helping Zhao Wukong and his people out; after all, he still needed that Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass from the City Lord’s Mansion treasure vault.

Zhu Mingda gave Zhao Yuanyuan a cold stare for a few seconds, then turned back to Zhao Wukong to ask, "Brother Zhao, is this how you discipline your daughter?"

"Old man Zhu, it’s not your place to question how my father disciplines me. Today’s martial contest for marriage was organized by my father for us sisters. Now that we are his women, please leave our City Lord’s Mansion right away," Zhao Yuanyuan suddenly looped her arm around Ye Chenfeng’s, her fairly ample chest intentionally or unintentionally pressing against his arm.

Hearing his younger daughter’s words, Zhao Wukong went along with them, "Zhu Mingda, I set the rules for this martial contest for a spouse, and the winner has already been chosen. As the lord of Tianxing City, I can’t go back on my word, can I? So, I appreciate your kind offer."

Zhu Mingda’s expression slowly turned grim as he suddenly said, "Brother Zhao, on my way to your mansion, I’ve already inquired about this matter. I’ve heard that the one who won today’s martial contest is nothing but an unaffiliated youngster with mere Upper Grade Heaven Rank strength. How can he be compared to my son?"

"Moreover, I can make him disappear from this world immediately," Zhu Mingda said, his gaze filled with murderous intent as he fixed it on Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng, whose arm was looped by Zhao Yuanyuan, withdrew it and stepped aside. Zhu Mingda, Zhu Shi and the others showed satisfaction at this scene, while Zhao Wukong, Zhao Xiaoxiao, and Zhao Yuanyuan displayed looks of disdain and contempt, especially Zhao Yuanyuan, who, angered, chided bluntly, "You, you, you are just a coward, a spineless wretch."

Zhu Shi spoke with a smile, "Ladies, how could this wretch compare to Zhu Shi? You might as well marry me peacefully!"

To further assert his superiority, Zhu Shi cast his gaze again on Ye Chenfeng, speaking disdainfully, "You good-for-nothing, what’s your name? If you’re willing to respectfully call me ’Young Master Zhu’, with your Upper Grade Heaven Rank strength, I might find you a decent position in my household!"

Ye Chenfeng’s lips curled into a slight smile as he said, "My name is Ye Ye."

Having already known that Ye Chenfeng’s name was Ye Feng, Zhao Wukong and the others felt puzzled upon hearing Ye Chenfeng introduce himself as Ye Ye, while Zhu Shi muttered Ye Chenfeng’s name, saying, "You waste of space, your name really is strange, Ye Ye! Ye Ye! Ye Ye! Grandpa..."

"Dear grandson, why are you calling me Grandpa? I don’t remember having a rubbish grandson like you," Ye Chenfeng retorted with a curl of his lip.

"Pfft~"

Zhao Yuanyuan, who had been angry just moments before, burst out laughing, and even the more composed Zhao Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but reveal a smile on her face. Zhao Wukong, who was quite disappointed in Ye Chenfeng, finally nodded in satisfaction internally.

Zhu Shi, who had been played by Ye Chenfeng, immediately turned an intense shade of red, cursing, "You loser, how dare you play with young master Zhu?"

Standing behind Zhu Shi, three middle-aged men stepped forward and said respectfully, "Young master, do you want us to take care of this kid for you?"

All three of the Zhus’ men had reached the levels of Heaven Rank, among them one had even reached the peak of High-Grade Heaven Rank.

"You three back off. Isn’t he just an idiot of High-Grade Heaven Rank? I’m a master of the Innate Realm. I’ll personally make his face resonate with slaps," Zhu Shi glared at Ye Chenfeng and said through gritted teeth.

"Son, go ahead and strike boldly, even if you kill this ignorant fool on the spot, no one here will dare to let out a fart," Zhu Mingda said with a cold sneer. He saw no need to intervene; with his son’s strength at the Initial Stage of the Innate Realm, couldn’t he handle a little High-Grade Heaven Rank brat?

Turning to Zhao Wukong, Zhu Mingda said, "Brother Zhao, today, whether you agree to this marriage or not, you must agree, or I wouldn’t mind bloodbathing your City Lord’s Mansion."

Bloodbathing the City Lord’s Mansion?

Zhao Wukong’s body shuddered violently, while Zhao Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yuanyuan also turned slightly pale. But at that moment, Zhu Shi’s body surged with True Energy Force; he had already struck at Ye Chenfeng.

Seeing Zhu Shi strike, Zhao Xiaoxiao knew there was no turning back from today’s events. Not wanting to implicate Ye Chenfeng, this stranger, she immediately shouted, "Zhu Shi, stop, I agree to marry you."

Upon hearing her sister’s cry, Zhao Yuanyuan also hurriedly shouted, "Yes, stop right now, I’m willing to marry you too."

When Zhu Shi heard the Zhao sisters’ cries, his palm was already slapping toward Ye Chenfeng’s face; why would he stop now? His voice thundered, "Those who offend Zhu Shi only get the privilege of being slapped by me."

Zhu Shi had only broken through to the Innate Realm three days ago. Ye Chenfeng could feel that the True Energy inside Zhu Shi wasn’t particularly stable. As long as he exerted a power equivalent to the Peak of High-Grade Heaven Rank, combined with the expertly executed Xuantian Step Technique he was using, he should be able to dodge this slap.

Just when everyone thought the slap was bound to hit Ye Chenfeng, he dodged it at the critical moment by a hair’s breadth. Furthermore, while avoiding Zhu Shi’s slap, Ye Chenfeng reacted incredibly quickly, striking Zhu Shi with a sharp slap of his own.

As Zhu Shi was caught off-guard, never expecting Ye Chenfeng to dodge his slap, he was stunned and, "Smack!" a crisp sound echoed off his cheek, followed by a taunting voice in his ear: "I don’t like others hitting my face; I prefer to slap others’ faces."

After Zhu Shi was confounded by the slap, Ye Chenfeng took the opportunity to deliver five or six more consecutive slaps.

The "smack smack smack smack smack!" of crisp sounds kept erupting on Zhu Shi’s cheeks. (To be continued.
