Chapter 1002 — Failing to Play It Cool
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Hey, kid — you're their man?" Lei Zhenyu took the "male companion" Feng Xiaoxiao had mentioned to mean boyfriend, so the moment he opened his mouth he was asking whether Xie Yufeng was their man.
Xie Yufeng was overjoyed. He's got a good eye, this one, he thought. On the strength of that one remark, I'll go a little easier on you when the time comes. I was going to leave you crippled for life, but now I'll settle for putting you in the hospital for six months.
"Who are you? Xiaoxiao, Xiaoshu — has he been pestering you?" Xie Yufeng did not deny it. He accepted Lei Zhenyu's label with evident pleasure.
"Kid, there's nothing for you here anymore. Our Brother Lei has taken a fancy to your girls, so you can get lost!" The bald man took one look at Xie Yufeng and laughed. A typical pretty-boy — the sort who could only ever seduce young girls. In a real fight he wouldn't last a second. I could take three or four of him with one punch!
"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoshu, you two get behind me. Leave this to me!" Xie Yufeng was genuinely afraid that the sight of him might send these three scurrying off, and then giving chase to beat them would just look ridiculous — it wouldn't show off his abilities at all.
But the three of them seemed to be deliberately playing along with his act. Not only did they not leave, they kept saying things that begged for a beating, until Xie Yufeng nearly laughed out loud. You three picked just the right moment to show up. But since you've decided to stay, do me one more favor, will you?
"Kid, you're really set on not leaving?" Lei Zhenyu saw that Xie Yufeng, facing three men, still dared to stay, and was visibly taken aback.
"Running off and abandoning your woman is the act of a coward!" Xie Yufeng said with a faint smile. "You three pieces of trash — if you don't want to spend the rest of your lives in wheelchairs, get the hell out of here now!"
"Oh-ho?" Hearing the tone in Xie Yufeng's voice, Lei Zhenyu was instantly amused. "Kid, are you out of your mind? You're threatening me? Why don't you go and ask around about the fearsome name of Lei Zhenyu! I'm in a hurry to have some fun with these two, so I can't be bothered with you — and you've got the nerve to get cocky?"
"Enough talk. All three of you, come at me at once!" Xie Yufeng said coolly.
Without using his true qi, Xie Yufeng really was no match for these three. His practical fighting experience was, after all, not extensive; he relied entirely on his internal cultivation. But these three were clearly nothing more than ordinary street thugs. Even if Xie Yufeng used his true qi, they would have no idea what was happening. That was why he dared to boast and tell all three to come at him together.
Feng Xiaoxiao and Shen Yushu, however, both frowned and exchanged a glance, then looked at Xie Yufeng with a touch of disbelief. Xie Yufeng had come over of his own accord to stand up for them, and calmly invited all three opponents to attack together — which left Feng Xiaoxiao and Shen Yushu faintly puzzled.
What was Xie Yufeng relying on? Was he really a seasoned fighter? If so, then their plan had failed completely: not only had they not driven Xie Yufeng away, they had given him a chance to show off.
"Brother Lei, since this kid's asking to die, let's deal with him first!" The bald man glanced at Lei Zhenyu and said.
"Fine. All together — kill him, then we'll go to the private room and play with the girls!" Lei Zhenyu nodded. He had not taken Xie Yufeng seriously in the slightest. He swaggered straight toward him and reached out to grab Xie Yufeng's hair.
