Yue Qianchou's Woman
This is the second update of the two-in-one series.
Even if the people at that table were in bad shape, they wouldn't be hit by Yue Qianchou's pig's trotter. Hearing the whistling sound, before even seeing what it was, they all scrambled to get out of the way. "Bang!" The dishes on the table crashed and shattered. Although they avoided it, the pig's trotter hit the table right in the middle, splashing soup and other liquids everywhere. Few people around were spared.
The man who had been holding Wu Lixue released his grip, looked towards Yue Qianchou, and shouted, "Who did this?"
Wu Lixue was no pushover either. As soon as her hands were released, she immediately clenched her fist and slammed it hard into the man's face. Unfortunately, their cultivation levels were too far apart; she was in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, while he was in the late Core Formation stage. The man easily caught her fist, twisted and pulled her arm behind his back, and subdued her once again.
"Let her go!" Wu Licheng shouted, leaping forward in a flash, followed closely by Bi Zicong and his two companions. These four were always united in their hatred of the enemy. Yan Zhuixing also followed; if he hadn't insisted on dragging a few people down with him, he probably wouldn't have encountered this situation, so naturally he couldn't stay out of it. Several of his men also followed. Yue Qianchou casually grabbed a roast duck with a missing leg from the table and swayed over.
The two sides were on the verge of fighting. However, with Wu Lixue in their hands, Wu Licheng dared not make any rash moves and kept demanding that she be released. The surrounding diners immediately cleared a space, firstly to make it easier for them to watch the fight, and secondly to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
The man who had grabbed Wu Lixue sized her up and sneered, "So you're a member of Four Great Families Wu family. What's wrong with your Wu family? We've come all this way, and now you won't even give us the courtesy of a drink, and you're even making hurtful remarks. Is this how your Wu family treats its guests?" The person he was referring to was Wu Lixue.
"So you are seniors from the Daluo Sect. I am Yan Zhuixing from the Hundred Flower Palace. I hope you will all consider my reputation and let this matter rest. Making a big fuss will not be good for anyone." Yan Zhuixing was trying to mediate the dispute.
Neither of them were new to the Cultivation World; they could easily tell which sect the other belonged to just by looking at their attire. The man sneered, "Giving you face? When did the Hundred Flower Palace start meddling in the affairs of the Four Great Families? And who is Yan Zhuixing of the Hundred Flower Palace? Do you even know?" The people behind him immediately burst into laughter, all indicating that they had never heard of this person.
This was a veiled insult to him! Yan Zhuixing's expression changed slightly, but he still said politely, "Let's talk things over. Please release him first."
"I can let her go, but she has to stay and finish this drink with me first. Otherwise, where will the face of my Daluo Sect be?" the man said, looking at Wu Lixue, his gaze sweeping over her full breasts.
"When did the Daluo Sect start having opera singers?" Yue Qianchou asked as he walked over, holding a roast duck, and started eating. Suddenly, he paused and asked, "Wu Lixue, what are you doing with him?"
Yue Qianchou's face instantly turned ugly. He stuck out a greasy finger, pointed it at the man's nose, and shouted angrily, "You're the one who said you wanted my woman to drink with you?"
Bi Zicong and his three companions, along with Yan Zhuixing and his group, were all taken aback. A murmur rippled through the surrounding crowd. Everyone recognized that Yue Qianchou was wearing the attire of Fu Xian Island. This disciple of the second-ranked Righteous Path Daluo Sect, had kidnapped a woman from Fu Xian Island to serve drinks? And Fu Xian Island, in particular, was the number one Righteous Path sect. This was going to be interesting!
The expressions of the Daluo Sect members changed. If what Yue Qianchou said was true, this matter was getting out of hand. For a sect at the Daluo Sect's level, when encountering members of the Hundred Flower Palace, unless they were in Hundred Flower Valley, to put it bluntly, the matter of giving them face was entirely optional. It was good to have the number one ranked sect backing you, but the Hundred Flower Palace wasn't actually number one. On your territory, you would definitely have to give them face, otherwise it would be disrespectful to Fu Xian Island and Myriad Demon Palace. But outside, there was no reason for the second-ranked Daluo Sect to always be inferior to you. That's why they didn't give Yan Zhuixing face.
However, Yue Qianchou was different; he was a legitimate disciple of Fu Xian Island. Now, he had publicly forced Yue's woman to serve him drinks. Although it was a farcical argument, everyone around wasn't stupid. Who couldn't see his intentions? This was clearly a slap in the face to Fu Xian Island! The key point was that Fu Xian Island's strength was far beyond that of the Daluo Sect. They could easily rival several Daluo Sect with a little effort. That was the difference between the first and second place rankings.
Wu Lixue had been struggling just moments before, but when she heard that she had inexplicably become someone else's woman, she stared blankly at Yue Qianchou and forgot to struggle anymore.
The man frowned and said, "Are you really a disciple of Fu Xian Island?" Since the matter has already happened, we need to find a way to resolve it. By publicly humiliating Fu Xian Island like this, he won't be spared when he returns to the Daluo Sect. They will definitely punish him severely to set an example for all the sects in the Cultivation World, and at the same time, to give Fu Xian Island an explanation. Otherwise, no one can withstand the wrath of Fu Xian Island, not even the Myriad Demon Palace, the number one sect in the demonic path!
Yue Qianchou recalled the murder of his master Hao Sansi, a sharp pain shot through his heart. His face turned ashen, and he uttered a single, deliberate sentence. "I am Yue Qianchou from Fu Xian Island!"
"Whoa!" "Huh?" "Is that Yue Qianchou?" "Is that Yue Qianchou from Fu Xian Island?" "Is that the Yue Qianchou who publicly beat the grandson of the Qingguang Sect Master?" The onlookers immediately became excited. None of them had ever seen Yue Qianchou before, but Yue Qianchou name was known to almost everyone in the Cultivation World. Some people were even muttering to themselves, "Is he the Yue Qianchou who roamed the Demon Ghost Domain?"
In short, everyone felt that the matter involving the Daluo Sect had indeed blown up. Yue Qianchou was a madman; he dared to beat up the direct grandson of the Qingguang Sect Master in front of all the Righteous Path sects. Just imagine what such a person wouldn't do, especially since the Daluo Sect actually forced his woman to serve them drinks—this joke had gone too far!
Bi Zicong and the other three exchanged bewildered glances. Judging from Yue Qianchou's expression, his performance was incredibly convincing. All four now agreed that Yue Qianchou was a truly loyal and righteous man, deliberately taking the blame for his brother—a rare find in the Cultivation World these days. They sighed with admiration, deeply feeling that they had made the right friend.
The members of the Daluo Sect twitched in disbelief. What a coincidence! They had just run into this madman! The man said awkwardly, "So it's Brother Yue. This is really a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding!"
"You're still clinging to my woman? What a load of rubbish!" Yue Qianchou roared.
After hearing this, the man finally realized what was happening. As soon as he let go, a dark shadow came crashing down on his face. He felt a violent impact on his face and was sent flying.
"Buzz..." The crowd was in an uproar. The madman had indeed made his move, smashing the roast duck with it. Seeing is believing, indeed!
Yue Qianchou grabbed the roast duck and slammed it heavily onto the man's face, smashing it to pieces. Caught off guard, the man flew backward with a "thud." Yue Qianchou swiftly followed, and before the man hit the ground, kicked him in the waist, then swung his elbow downward, striking him squarely in the chest with a loud "bang." Everyone clearly heard the sound of a rib breaking. As soon as the man landed, Yue Qianchou kicked him in the head again. With a "thud," the man skimmed across the ground, his face leaving a trail of blood, before crashing into several tables and collapsing unconscious under one of them.
The crowd watched in stunned silence, completely overwhelmed. The First Company of actions had been completed in the blink of an eye. A late Core Formation stage cultivator had been defeated so easily with a few punches and kicks? Could cultivators really fight like this? Normally, everyone focused on improving their cultivation and acquiring a good Law Artifact. In battle, they relied on their cultivation level, their flying swords clashing, often killing enemies from a hundred meters away.
Who would be so bored as to practice the martial arts of ordinary people? To them, even the most powerful ordinary people are nothing more than a flying sword that can instantly kill them. No one would bother practicing such a thing. Such close-quarters combat between cultivators is unheard of and unseen. Yue Qianchou's actions have completely overturned everyone's perceptions.
In truth, Yue Qianchou had never practiced this technique, but the experience he gained in his past life was all in his mind. Furthermore, being a cultivator in this life, his movements were even more controlled and fluid. His True Essence energy circulated, and his punches and kicks generated tremendous power. Most importantly, he particularly enjoyed the thrill of violently striking his opponents, especially those he disliked or hated. The feeling of his own hand hitting someone was exhilarating, allowing him to fully vent his anger. Of course, this usually depended on the situation. You couldn't just charge forward with a fist while someone was eyeing you menacingly with a flying sword; that would be suicidal!
Yue Qianchou wanted to rush forward and beat them again. The members of the Daluo Sect had already reacted, flashing forward and blocking the two with several longswords in hand. One of them shouted, "Yue Qianchou, even if we were in the wrong, you've already hit them, do you want to kill them? Do you know who you hit?"
"Damn it! I don't care who he is! My Fu Xian Island never provokes anyone, but today your Daluo Sect has gone too far!" Yue Qianchou sneered. Bi Zicong and the other three also drew their swords and stood protectively in front of him. Although the Four Great Families didn't get involved in the conflicts with other sects, Yue Qianchou was standing up for them, so how could they ignore it? Standing to the side, Wu Lixue slightly opened her alluring lips, looking at the unconscious person on the ground, then at Yue Qianchou. His actions just now were too ruthless; this visually almost brutal method of attack, coupled with his words "my woman," made her heart pound.
Seeing that things had come to this point, Yan Zhuixing could no longer get involved and could only stand aside. However, this was the second time he had witnessed Yue Qianchou throwing a punch. The first time was when he hit the direct grandson of the Qingguang Sect Master's leader. If he wasn't mistaken this time... sigh! Hopefully not! Subsequently, his guess was indeed confirmed.
Two Daluo Sect helped the unconscious man onto a table, carefully protecting him. The man who had just spoken said in a deep voice, "His name is Luo Xiaohan, the only son of the Daluo Sect Master. Just for that, isn't it worth Yue Qianchou giving the Daluo Sect some face?"
"Go to hell with the only son of the Daluo Sect Master! My senior uncle is the leader of Fu Xian Island, and my grandmaster was the previous leader of Fu Xian Island. And my woman was actually forced to drink with you Daluo Sect disciples! I just introduced myself, and you, the only son of the leader, are still holding onto my woman! Damn it! Who gives Fu Xian Island any face?" Yue Qianchou kept mentioning Fu Xian Island. His thinking was, it would be an idiot not to use such a big name. Anyway, Fu Xian Island isn't his family's property. No matter how big the trouble gets, there are tall people to take the fall. What am I afraid of?
The disciples of the Daluo Sect were speechless after he spoke. Yue Qianchou was just about to incite the Four Great Families to fight the Daluo Sect when troublemakers arrived.
"Who's causing trouble at the Wu family?" Two elderly men shot in from outside; judging by their attire, they were members of the Wu family. This shop was owned by the Wu family, so any slight disturbance would be immediately reported back.
Just as the two of them stood still, several more people rushed in from outside. Standing next to Yue Qianchou was Wan Yuan, the late-stage Nascent Soul stage manager of the Fuxian Fu Xian Island shop on "Hat Island," followed by two late Core Formation stage disciples.
Standing on the side of the Daluo Sect was Ye Haiping, the shopkeeper in charge, with two men behind him. As they surveyed the situation, Ye Haiping frowned; clearly, his Daluo Sect had suffered a loss. After briefly checking Luo Xiaohan's injuries, he breathed a sigh of relief; they weren't fatal.
All the visitors inquired about the incident. Wu Licheng reported to the two elders, while the Daluo Sect naturally reported to Ye Haiping. Yue Qianchou, however, was far from being so refined. He grabbed Wan Yuan, repeatedly calling him "Uncle-Master," and then loudly denounced the Daluo Sect's atrocities in front of everyone. He emphasized repeatedly that Luo Xiaohan had actually forced his woman to drink with him, and even after learning his identity, Luo Xiaohan still wouldn't let go of her. That's why he had struck Luo Xiaohan.
These words immediately made Wu Lixue blush deeply. Now, the entire Cultivation World probably knew she was Yue Qianchou's woman. But she wasn't an idiot. With things escalating like this, she naturally understood that Yue Qianchou was on the side of the Wu family. So, she couldn't even utter a word in defense. When the two elders questioned her, she even had to smooth things over. It was truly embarrassing! If she had known this would happen, she would never have come with her brothers.
The two elders' faces turned ashen; the Daluo Sect was clearly bullying the Wu family.
Wan Yuan's face was gloomy, but he was happy in his heart. Yue Qianchou was indeed worthy of his reputation. He was indeed a person valued by the sect leader. He beat the only son of the Daluo Sect Master so badly with just one move. He really brought honor to Fu Xian Island. Moreover, he was in the right and could explain himself anywhere. As for whether Wu Lixue was Yue Qianchou's woman, he didn't care. At least the other party did not deny it.
After listening to his disciple's stammering report and hearing the other party's stern accusations, Ye Haiping frowned. It was clear that Luo Xiaohan had harassed Yue Qianchou's woman first, but he was too audacious. The other party had mentioned the name of Fu Xian Island and he still didn't take action. He was just used to being arrogant and didn't know his own limitations. It was one thing for him to be domineering in other places, but why did he have to provoke Fu Xian Island?
"Brother Wan, it was my Daluo Sect that was in the wrong, and I apologize to you. Look, Yue Qianchou also beat Luo Xiaohan. Why don't we just leave it at that? If we make a big fuss, it will easily damage the harmony between the two sides," Ye Haiping said helplessly.
