They Are Too Weak, I Can Kill One With A Single Punch

"Husband, Yan'er hasn't sent word in a month. I'm truly worried," Mother Xu said with a worried expression.

Xu Junhe, the richest man in Donghe Commandery, nearing forty but still retaining the handsomeness of his youth, also wore a troubled look.

"My dear, Yan'er must be disciplined strictly. We can't indulge him any longer. You, you shouldn't spoil him so much!"

"What are you talking about, husband? He's my only son. If I don't spoil him, who else will I spoil?" Mother Xu replied indignantly.

"I..." Xu Junhe sighed.

Just then, a maidservant hurried in. "Master, Madam, Young Master has returned!"

"Yan'er is back?" Mother Xu exclaimed with joy and hurried outside, muttering, "Has he gotten thinner or darker? Is he injured?"

Xu Junhe sighed and followed behind, his face stern.

"Where is Apothecary Pan? You lot, be careful and move it inside for me. I'm going to handle this myself."

Xu Yan was directing the household staff to move the Red-Eyed Tiger into the slaughterhouse, intending to skin it himself. He had also sent someone to fetch the family's resident Apothecary Pan.

"What kind of tiger is this? How is it so large?"

"Even dead, standing before it makes my legs go weak!"

Several of the Xu family's expert guards and servants stared at the Red-Eyed Tiger's corpse in shock.

Even though it was dead, standing before the Red-Eyed Tiger still instilled a sense of fear and weakness.

Even the guards who practiced martial arts, and had hunted fierce tigers before, felt an inexplicable unease standing before this giant beast.

Several guards lifted the stretcher and carried the Red-Eyed Tiger towards the slaughterhouse.

"Yan'er, come let your mother see if you've lost weight," Mother Xu's doting voice called out.

"Mother!" Seeing his mother, Xu Yan immediately became docile.

"Father!" Xu Junhe, with a stern face, asked, "So you do know how to come home?"

As soon as he spoke, intending to reprimand his son, Mother Xu immediately interjected, "Husband, Yan'er just got back. Please temper your temper."

"I..." Xu Junhe choked on his words, unable to utter them. He could only glare fiercely at Xu Yan, his eyes conveying his reprimand.

Mother Xu pulled Xu Yan, looking him over. He hadn't lost weight or gotten darker; instead, he seemed more robust. Seeing that her son hadn't suffered outside, her heart finally relaxed.

"Yan'er, you..." Suddenly, she spotted the Red-Eyed Tiger on the stretcher and gasped, "Yan'er, did you hunt this giant tiger?" Mother Xu looked extremely nervous.

"Mother, I bought it!" To prevent his mother from worrying, Xu Yan lied. He dared not admit that he had personally killed this Red-Eyed Tiger.

"You bought it? That's good, that's good!" Mother Xu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as a problem could be solved with money, there was no danger. As long as her precious son didn't take risks, any amount of money was worth it.

Xu Junhe looked at the Red-Eyed Tiger, his heart trembling. This giant tiger was terrifying. Even in death, it exuded an oppressive aura. He wasn't someone who had never seen a fierce tiger! He had even hunted them before. However, this giant tiger was extraordinary; even dead, it possessed a deterrent presence.

"What kind of tiger is this? I've never seen one before!" Xu Junhe asked, puzzled.

"Master, we haven't seen one either!" the guards replied, shaking their heads.

"Father, this is the King of Tigers, a Red-Eyed Tiger!"

"A Red-Eyed Tiger?"

Xu Junhe looked confused; he'd never heard of it.

He glanced at the guards, who all shook their heads.

A servant spoke up, "Master, the Red-Eyed Tiger is from a storybook. It's said to be a legendary King of Tigers!"

Xu Junhe's face immediately darkened. He glared fiercely at Xu Yan and said, "How can you believe things from a storybook!"

Although this giant tiger was terrifying, he refused to believe it was something from a storybook. He merely thought it was a rare and ferocious tiger.

Xu Yan didn't argue. He knew his father wouldn't believe him.

And no one else would believe it was something from a storybook either.

The guards carried the Red-Eyed Tiger into the slaughterhouse. Xu Yan chatted with his mother for a while before heading to the slaughterhouse to skin the tiger himself.

"Red-Eyed Tiger, truly the King of Tigers. Ordinary people probably couldn't pierce its hide even with a sharp knife!"

Xu Yan marveled.

Apothecary Pan arrived and was also amazed by the sight of such a huge tiger.

At Xu Yan's request, he selected dozens of precious tonics from the Xu family's medicine storehouse, most of them powerful treasures for boosting Blood Essence, to be stewed with the Red-Eyed Tiger's flesh, blood, and bones for nourishment.

Xu Junhe strolled over, seemingly casually. He glanced at the nearly processed tiger carcass and said calmly, "Apothecary Pan, remember to handle the tiger penis properly."

Apothecary Pan hastily put on a smile and nodded. "Master, rest assured. Using this Tiger King's penis, half will be used to brew a jar of Tiger King wine, and the other half will be combined with precious herbs to concoct a Yang-boosting pill. Even at eighty, one can maintain his vigor!"

Xu Junhe nodded in satisfaction. "Mm, Apothecary Pan, just ask for whatever precious herbs you need."

Xu Yan, standing nearby, couldn't help but interject, "Father, this Tiger King's penis, I still have..."

He had intended to offer it to his Master.

Xu Junhe glared at him and said angrily, "Do you think your father needs this? Your maternal grandfather is getting old and is busy with official duties. He needs this tonic.

"Your maternal grandfather dotes on you so much, and you don't even show a little filial piety?"

Xu Yan opened his mouth, but in the end, he had to accept his father's decision regarding the Tiger King's penis.

With Master's cultivation level, he wouldn't care for a Tiger King's penis. Besides, it's not exactly a refined item. What if Master dislikes it and it ruins everything?

Thinking this, Xu Yan felt that the tiger skin would be a more practical gift for his Master.

"Hmph!"

Seeing that he had reprimanded his son, Xu Junhe strolled away.

Apothecary Pan caught up. "Master, do you really not need it? I was originally planning to use the Tiger King's penis to brew a bottle of medicine with a milder effect, more suitable for a man of your age."

Xu Junhe patted Apothecary Pan's shoulder. "Old Pan, while I don't need it, I can give it to others. Some of my business associates my age might find it useful, so go ahead and do as you planned."

Apothecary Pan looked at him suspiciously but didn't expose him, nodding. "Understood, I know what to do!"

That night, the Xu mansion was filled with joy. The Madam was happy today and distributed bonuses, even hosting a banquet. The servants were jubilant and ate to their hearts' content.

Their foolish young master had finally returned after a month away.

And he had bought back a giant tiger, said to be a Tiger King!

In the inner courtyard of the Xu residence, a pot of Tiger King meat was cooked. Xu Junhe and his wife ate a small bowl each and couldn't eat anymore.

Xu Yan ate more than half the pot of Tiger King meat by himself.

The rest was distributed as rewards to several expert guards in the household.

These expert guards were first-class martial artists in the Jianghu, hired by Xu Junhe from various martial sects.

Now, these Jianghu experts were no longer in Xu Yan's eyes.

He felt they were too weak.

He could kill one with a single punch.

Of course, when he was young, he had learned martial arts from them, and their relationship was still quite good.

After finishing the tiger meat, Xu Yan returned to his residence. No one was allowed to enter without his permission.

This was where he practiced his cultivation.

After his last return, he had renovated it and added a secret chamber.
