You've Got Some Serious Chompers!
Not only the shopkeeper, but everyone who heard Ding Feng write a letter to Vast Heaven Holy Land for help couldn't help but laugh at Ding Feng.
What are you thinking, Ding Feng?
Who do you think you are? The Vast Heaven Holy Land has no right to tell you what to do?
They have absolutely no reason to care about you, neither morally nor logically!
Although everyone told Ding Feng that his waiting would only lead to disappointment, Ding Feng still held onto a sliver of hope, a hope that he himself was beginning to find somewhat unrealistic.
Ding Feng worked on this odd job until late at night. After tidying everything up, Ding Feng hurried back to his temporary home to rest for two hours.
Before dawn, Ding Feng got up again and went to work at the Misty Waves Pavilion.
When Ding Feng arrived at the Misty Waves Pavilion, ready to begin his work as usual, the still sleepy-eyed manager saw Ding Feng.
"Ding Feng... why are you here again today? Didn't I tell you yesterday not to come until your matter with Zhang Hu is resolved?"
The shopkeeper wore a helpless expression.
It wasn't that the shopkeeper disliked Ding Feng; on the contrary, Ding Feng was a very hardworking person who never slacked off, which the shopkeeper was very satisfied with.
The problem is that Zhang Hu's Zhang Clan is a powerful local force in Abyss City, and everyone knows that Ding Feng owes Zhang Hu money.
Last time, Zhang Hu caused trouble at the Misty Waves Pavilion. When the manager went up to say something, Zhang Hu slapped him so hard that he knocked out two of his teeth.
The shopkeeper was furious but dared not speak out... How could he possibly afford to offend the Zhang Clan?
Furthermore, Zhang Hu declared that if Ding Feng couldn't repay the money, anyone who dared to speak up for Ding Feng would be beaten!
Therefore, for the sake of the Misty Waves Pavilion's business, even if the manager was very satisfied, he dared not keep Ding Feng.
"Shopkeeper, I really need this job, please help me!"
"Ding Feng... it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I can't afford to offend Zhang Hu. Even if you worked at our Misty Waves Pavilion for a hundred years, you still wouldn't be able to repay the debt you owe Zhang Hu... Actually, what Zhang Hu said yesterday wasn't entirely unreasonable... your ancestors'..."
"Shopkeeper, please stop... Our ancestors are the pride of the Ding Clan, the faith of Ding Feng. I would never dig up their graves and give those burial goods to someone like Zhang Hu..."
"Well..."
The shopkeeper sighed and could only shake his head helplessly.
The shopkeeper understood that perhaps the glory of their ancestors was Ding Feng's last remaining courage to live in this world.
Ding Feng worked alone all morning, but just as he was about to take a short break, Ding Feng Zhang Hu arrived at the Misty Waves Pavilion with a group of people.
"You damn Shopkeeper Liu, you don't even listen to me, Tiger Lord? You actually dare to let this Ding Feng work for you? I think you don't want your Misty Waves Pavilion anymore... Smash it!"
At Zhang Hu's command, the pack of wolves and tigers behind him charged into the Misty Waves Pavilion.
Shopkeeper Liu scrambled to Zhang Hu's feet and begged for mercy.
"Tiger Master, Tiger Master... It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding... I really told Ding Feng not to come, but he... he insisted on coming... I... I can't do anything about it... Tiger Master, please have mercy and let my shop off the hook..."
"Go ahead and give me a break... Smash it!"
A group of Zhang Hu's henchmen swarmed forward, and in an instant, a large number of tables, chairs, and benches in the Misty Waves Pavilion were smashed!
The shopkeeper sat on the ground, on the verge of tears, and could only urge Ding Feng to leave quickly...
"Brother Tiger... this matter started because of me, it has nothing to do with the Misty Waves Pavilion... please, please be lenient!" Ding Feng also hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, begging Brother Tiger to be lenient.
"Show mercy? Show mercy my ass! Ding Feng, I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Let me put it this way: given your situation, why should I have given you money in the first place? I only wanted the burial goods in your ancestors' graves!"
"Let me tell you this... if you, Ding Feng, behave yourself, even if the ancestral grave is dug up, I won't take all the burial goods. I'll leave some for you and your unfortunate mother and son. Consider it an act of kindness from me."
"If you, Ding Feng, don't know what's good for you, I'll chop you up today and no one will dare to stop me. After I'm done with you and your mother, your ancestors' possessions won't escape either... So think it over carefully, are you going to dig them up yourself, or do I have to do it myself!"
"Zhang Hu... you... you're shameless!"
"Heh heh... Shameless... I have plenty of shameless methods out there, don't force me to use even more shameless methods against you!"
"Zhang Hu! Our ancestor was a disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land. You dare to disturb our ancestor's tomb? Aren't you afraid the Vast Heaven Holy Land will retaliate against you?!"
Hearing Ding Feng's words, Zhang Hu burst out laughing...
"My God... Ding Feng... Lord Ding... I'm so scared... and you're a disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land... Ding Feng, wake up! Your ancestors are all dead... What kind of existence is the Vast Heaven Holy Land? Would they care about the life or death of a little bastard like you?"
Upon hearing Tiger's words, the numerous henchmen around him burst into loud laughter.
Even the people at the Misty Waves Pavilion shook their heads helplessly... because everyone knew that Brother Tiger was right.
"Zhang Hu... give me a little more time. I've already written to the Vast Heaven Holy Land. Judging by the timeline, they should have received my letter by now. It might have been delayed a few days... but it should be soon... just give me a little more time, and someone from the Vast Heaven Holy Land will definitely come over. Then we can definitely repay you all the money we owe you, with interest!"
"Haha..." Tiger Brother burst into laughter after hearing what Ding Feng said!
Tiger was looking at Ding Feng like he was some kind of complete idiot.
At this point, Tiger thought Ding Feng must have gotten kicked in the head by a donkey.
Do you want to listen to whether Ding Feng is even speaking human language?
Did you write a letter to the Vast Heaven Holy Land? Will someone from the Vast Heaven Holy Land come to your aid?
Who the hell do you think you are, Ding Feng?!
Do you think the Vast Heaven Holy Land even knows who you are...?
The people of Vast Heaven Holy Land will come to your aid... Why don't you just fly to heaven?
I, Zhang Hu, like to brag, but damn it, no matter how much I Zhang Hu, I wouldn't dare to brag like this!
Why didn't you say that Chu Xinghe would come to help you personally?
If you were even slightly sensible, would you have said something like that?
"Ding Feng... are you fucking making fun of Brother Tiger here... and you're saying the Vast Heaven Holy Land will send people to help you? You might as well just say Chu Xinghe will come to help you personally!"
"This is the biggest joke I've heard all year... The Vast Heaven Holy Land is sending people to help you personally... Haha..."
"Ding Feng, stop dreaming. Brother Hu has already given you a way out. Come on, we've prepared all the tools for you. It's just digging up ancestral graves... What's all this talk of glory? If our descendants are in trouble, we'll just take some to tide us over. What's the big deal...?"
"Yes, yes, yes... Your ancestors would definitely understand if they knew..."
Listening to Tiger's group of underlings chatting amongst themselves, Shopkeeper Liu of the Misty Waves Pavilion couldn't help but sigh, "This is fate!"
Shopkeeper Liu was also a local of Abyss City. He had heard from his elders that the Ding Clan had once been very powerful.
At the height of the Ding Clan's power, even someone like Zhang Hu had to kneel down and speak to the Ding Clan.
But as the saying goes, a hero doesn't dwell on past glories. No matter how glorious the Ding Clan was back then, now only an orphan and a widow are left.
"Ding Feng, I've already made myself clear to you. Don't test my patience. You'd better think it through yourself, or I'll do it myself!" Zhang Hu said with a gloomy face.
"Zhang Hu, you have to believe me... I really do believe you..."
"Damn it!" Zhang Hu was furious when Ding Feng brought up the matter again. He shouted, "It's not that I, Zhang Hu, was too arrogant! I'm telling you right now, your letter is completely useless... Vast Heaven Holy Land will never help you. I'm telling you this now, if Vast Heaven Holy Land could actually help you, I, Zhang Hu, would eat every single table and chair in this Misty Waves Pavilion today..."
Just as Zhang Hu finished speaking, a beam of light came from the sky in the distance!
The light pierced into the Misty Waves Pavilion in an instant, and the next moment it flashed across all the tables and chairs in the Misty Waves Pavilion. As the light dissipated, all the tables and chairs in the Misty Waves Pavilion seemed to have been cut into small pieces by some invisible force!
All the tables, chairs, and benches shattered into small pieces and scattered all over the ground under the light...
The sudden appearance of light instantly threw the entire Yanbo area into chaos.
Just as chaos erupted at the Misty Waves Pavilion, a young man in the distance lightly grabbed at the light that had shattered all the tables and chairs in the Misty Waves Pavilion, and the light flew directly into his hand.
The light in his hand transformed into a divine sword that resembled a thread, and in a flash, the thread-like divine sword disappeared into the young man's arm.
After putting away his Silk Thread Divine Sword, the young man walked slowly toward the Misty Waves Pavilion with his hands behind his back. Under everyone's gaze, the young man stepped into the Misty Waves Pavilion and then walked to the opposite side of Zhang Hu.
Just as everyone was wondering who this young man was, he spoke up, "Zhang Hu, right...? His name is fierce, and he's even fiercer. You've got some teeth! But I kindly cut the tables and chairs into bite-sized pieces for you. Now... please..."
Zhang Hu: "???"
Everyone at the scene was stunned... What?! "Quite a powerful bite?"
Just as Zhang Hu was completely bewildered, someone recognized the identity of the suddenly appearing young man...
"The Haotian Sword Casket... He... He is Chu Xinghe!"
This sudden shout threw the entire Misty Waves Pavilion and even the streets outside it into complete chaos!
"Chu Xinghe? Where is he? Another Chu Xinghe impersonator?"
"I don't see it... Where's the Haotian Sword Casket... Don't all the imitators carry the Haotian Sword Casket around as if they're afraid no one will notice? Why don't I see any Haotian Sword Casket?"
"What's so interesting about a Chu Xinghe impersonator? Look at me, don't I look like Ma Liang impersonator!"
"Where did this donkey come from... Holy crap, it really does look a bit like Ma Liang... Bro, you're a fantastic Ma Liang imitator! No... Bro, your imitation is a bit too much, are you sure this is Ma Liang imitator and not a donkey imitator?"
But amidst the chaos, a knowledgeable person spoke up, "No... he's not an impersonator of Chu Xinghe. I'm a loyal fan of Chu Xinghe's live streams. I watched his Chu Xinghe for over half a month straight. He... he really is Master Xinghe!"
Goodness gracious! Right now, countless people at the scene are giving a thumbs up to Wolf Exterminator, who's been watching Chu Xinghe's "lying down" livestream for over half a month...
The Wolf King is at most a werewolf, but you can watch those kinds of live streams for more than half a month straight. You're two things more than a werewolf, and you're even more arrogant!
