They Were Too Weak-One Punch Could Kill One

"Husband, Yan'er has been gone for a month without a word. I'm really worried."

Mother Xu said this with a worried expression.

Xu Junhe, the richest man in Donghe Commandery, was nearing forty, yet he still retained the handsome bearing of his youth. At that moment, however, his face was full of frustration.

"Madam, Yan'er must be disciplined strictly. We can't keep indulging him. You really can't spoil him like this!"

"Husband, what are you saying? He's my only son. If I don't spoil him, who else should I spoil?"

Mother Xu said this with obvious displeasure.

"I..."

Xu Junhe sighed.

Just then, a maid hurried in. "Master, Madam, Young Master is back!"

"Yan'er is back?"

Mother Xu was overjoyed and hurried outside, murmuring, "Has he lost weight or gotten tanned? Is he hurt?"

Xu Junhe sighed and followed behind with a stern expression.

"Where's Apothecary Pan? All of you, be careful. Carry it inside for me. I'm going to do this personally."

Xu Yan was directing the servants to carry the Red-Eyed Tiger into the slaughterhouse, preparing to skin it himself.

At the same time, he had the servants go fetch Apothecary Pan, the Attendant of the Xu Family.

"What kind of tiger is this? How can it be so huge?"

"Even though it's dead, standing in front of it still makes my legs go weak!"

Several Xu Family guards and servants stared at the Red-Eyed Tiger's corpse, all utterly stunned.

Even though it was already dead, standing before the Red-Eyed Tiger still inspired a terrifying, leg-weakening fear.

Even the several guards who practiced martial arts and could be considered skilled fighters had hunted fierce tigers before. Yet standing before this giant tiger, they still felt an unease that came from the very depths of their hearts.

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

"Yan'er, come here and let Mother see if you've lost weight."

Mother Xu's doting voice drifted over.

"Mother!"

The moment Xu Yan saw his mother, he immediately became obedient.

"Father!"

Xu Junhe kept a stern face. "So you do know how to come home?"

He had only just opened his mouth, preparing to reprimand him, when Mother Xu immediately objected. "Husband, Yan'er just got back. Rein in your temper."

"I..."

Xu Junhe swallowed his frustration, unable to vent it.

He could only glare fiercely at Xu Yan, using his harshest gaze to lecture him.

Mother Xu pulled Xu Yan this way and that, looking him over. He had neither lost weight nor gotten tanned; instead, he had grown considerably sturdier. Seeing that her son had not suffered while away, her heart finally relaxed.

"Yan'er, you..."

She suddenly spotted the Red-Eyed Tiger on the stretcher and cried out in surprise. "Yan'er, did you hunt this giant tiger?"

Mother Xu's face was suddenly filled with nervousness.

"Mother, I bought it!"

To keep his mother from worrying, Xu Yan could only lie.

He certainly didn't dare tell her that he had personally beaten the Red-Eyed Tiger to death.

"You bought it? That's good, that's good!"

Mother Xu immediately let out a sigh of relief.

As long as something could be solved with money, there was no danger. As long as her precious son didn't take risks, no matter how much money he spent, it was worth it.

Xu Junhe looked at the Red-Eyed Tiger with his heart pounding in fear. The giant tiger was too terrifying. Even in death, it still gave off an oppressive feeling.

It wasn't as if he had never seen a fierce tiger before.

He had even hunted them himself.

Yet this giant tiger was clearly no ordinary beast. Even dead, it still possessed a frightening might.

"What kind of tiger is this? I've never seen one before!"

Xu Junhe asked in puzzlement.

"Master, we've never seen it either!"

Several guards shook their heads.

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

Xu Yan spoke up.

"The Red-Eyed Tiger?"

Xu Junhe looked puzzled. He had never heard of it.

He looked toward the guards, but they shook their heads as well.

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

Xu Junhe's face immediately darkened. He glared fiercely at Xu Yan. "How can you believe something from a storybook?"

Although this giant tiger was terrifying, he refused to believe it was something recorded in storybooks, thinking it was merely a relatively rare fierce tiger.

Xu Yan did not argue. He knew his father would never believe him.

Nor would anyone else believe that this was a creature from a storybook.

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

"The Red-Eyed Tiger truly lives up to its name as the King of Tigers. An ordinary person probably couldn't pierce its hide even with a sharp knife in hand!"

Xu Yan was filled with admiration.

Apothecary Pan arrived, and he too was astonished upon seeing such an enormous tiger.

At Xu Yan's request, he selected dozens of precious nourishing medicinal materials from the Xu Family's medicine storehouse. Most were Precious Medicines that powerfully nourished Vital Energy and blood. They would be simmered together with the Red-Eyed Tiger's flesh and bones to make a restorative medicinal brew.

Xu Junhe appeared to stroll over casually. He glanced at the tiger corpse, which had nearly been processed, and said indifferently, "Apothecary Pan, remember to process the tiger penis properly."

Apothecary Pan hurriedly put on a smile and nodded. "Master, rest assured. With this Tiger King's penis, I'll use half to brew a jar of Tiger King Wine, and combine the other half with Precious Medicines to refine Yang-boosting pills. Even a man in his eighties will be able to maintain his virility!"

Xu Junhe nodded in satisfaction. "Mm. Apothecary Pan, just tell me what Precious Medicines you need."

Xu Yan, standing nearby, could not help speaking up. "Father, I still have this Tiger King's penis..."

He had planned to offer it to his own master.

Xu Junhe glared at him and snapped, "Do you think this is something your father needs? Your maternal grandfather isn't young anymore, and with his busy official duties, he needs this restorative medicine."

"Your maternal grandfather dotes on you so much. Don't you know how to show a little filial respect?"

Xu Yan opened and closed his mouth. In the end, he could only accept his father's arrangements for the Tiger King's penis.

With Master's cultivation realm, he wouldn't care for the Tiger King's penis. Besides, this thing is ultimately rather inelegant. What if Master dislikes it? Wouldn't that cause trouble?

Thinking it over, Xu Yan decided that giving his master the tiger hide would be more practical.

"Hmph!"

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

Apothecary Pan caught up with him. "Master, are you really sure you don't need it? I was planning to use the Tiger King's penis to refine a bottle of medicine with weaker effects, one more suitable for someone your age."

Xu Junhe patted Apothecary Pan on the shoulder. "Old Pan, though your master doesn't need it, I can give it to someone else. There are business associates around my age who might have a use for it. So go ahead and do it as you planned."

Apothecary Pan looked at him suspiciously but did not expose him. He nodded. "Understood. I know what to do!"

That night, the Xu residence was filled with joyous celebration. Madam was in a good mood and distributed a sum of reward money. She even held a feast, and the servants ate and drank to their hearts' content.

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

He had even brought back a giant tiger, supposedly a King of Tigers!

A pot of Tiger King meat was cooked in the inner courtyard of the Xu Family. Xu Junhe and his wife each ate a small bowl before they could no longer continue.

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

The rest was given as a reward to several of the family's expert guards.

These expert guards were first-rate martial artists in the martial world, hired by Xu Junhe from several martial sects.

Now, these martial-world experts were no longer worthy of Xu Yan's attention.

He thought they were too weak.

One punch could kill one.

Of course, when he was young, he had learned martial arts from these men, and they still had a good relationship.

After finishing the tiger meat, Xu Yan returned to his residence. Without his permission, outsiders were not allowed to enter.

This was where he practiced his martial arts.

After he returned last time, the place had been remodeled, and a secret chamber had been added.
