Cao Fengqi vs. Wang Long of the Wealthy Wang Family, a Sensation

Outside the Cao family's shelter, the four members of the Liu family who had just walked out could no longer maintain their composure.

Their expressions gradually turned ugly.

What had just happened was undoubtedly a humiliation to them.

But they had no choice but to endure it.

"That Cao Fengqi is far too arrogant. He doesn't have a shred of manners."

Wei Chunchun spoke up angrily.

"Don't talk nonsense. We really were in the wrong before."

Liu Fengshan frowned at his daughter-in-law, filled with regret.

If their family had treated his daughter and the Cao family better back then, things might have been different now.

The thought of the outrageous meal on the table just now filled him with desire.

Level-four meat and level-four wine! How much could eating and drinking those things increase their constitution?

In this day and age, those things were treasures that could increase one's strength and ability to stay alive.

But they hadn't expected it. They truly hadn't.

Not long ago, the Cao family had consisted of a one-armed old man and a good-for-nothing simp. As far as the Lius were concerned, the family was completely finished.

Who could have imagined that the good-for-nothing boy would suddenly soar to such heights?

"No wonder Cao Fengqi had so much money to buy expensive clothes."

Liu Qiang sighed, his heart burning with desire for those treasures as well. "Even their home is decorated so extravagantly."

He couldn't help imagining how wonderful it would be if he could consume that food himself.

"But Cao Fengqi is too heartless. I'm afraid he won't be easy to get along with from now on." Recalling Cao Fengqi's cold attitude just now, he frowned deeply.

"Then... then we shouldn't have left those things behind. They eat and live so much better than we do."

A flash of jealousy crossed Wei Chunchun's eyes as she spoke.

"Chunchun, be more polite to your younger sister and the Cao family from now on."

Liu Fengshan glanced at her displeasedly and continued, "It's clear that your younger sister, Dabao, and Xiaobao are doing very well with the Cao family. Our relationship with Chunying may have grown distant, but we can still rebuild it. After all, we're bound by blood, and that can't be severed. Your younger sister isn't a heartless person either."

Regret was useless now. What they needed to do was find a way to make amends.

"Mm, I know."

Liu Qiang nodded and looked at his wife, warning her as well. "No matter what happens, you'd better have a nicer attitude from now on. Understand?"

"I understand."

Faced with her husband's stern gaze, Wei Chunchun nodded reluctantly.

"Cao Fengqi, get the hell out here!"

As they were talking, a voice suddenly rang out ahead of them, startling the four members of the Liu family.

Liu Fengshan and the others immediately looked over. When they saw seven or eight people walking toward them, surprise appeared on their faces.

"It's Wang Dahai, the son of Wang Long from the wealthy Wang family."

Liu Qiang recognized the fat man leading the group, who weighed at least two hundred pounds, and spoke in a low voice.

"That's Wu Qianqian beside him. Her parents are here too."

The Liu family members also recognized Wu Qianqian and her parents.

The Lius knew something about Wu Qianqian, the girl the Cao family's second son had pursued for a long time and who had nearly drained the Cao family dry.

Seeing everyone following Wang Dahai here, they all looked surprised and suspicious.

"A lot of people in the county are saying Wu Qianqian is a jinx now. From the look of things, they're here to make trouble for Cao Fengqi."

Wei Chunchun was well informed about the gossip in the county. Her eyes flickered as she looked at Wang Dahai in the middle of the group and murmured, "Wang Dahai's father is a powerful expert from a wealthy family, and he's also a distant relative of Spirit Forger Wang's family. He has power and influence."

Meanwhile, inside the Cao family's home, everyone had also heard the arrogant, unrestrained shout.

Cao Jiancheng looked outside and frowned. "Who is it?"

A puzzled expression appeared on Cao Fengqi's face. He got up and went to his room.

A few seconds later, he came back out with the Evil-Breaking Bow on his back, the Mystic Cold Saber in his hand, and the Arcane Musket tucked at his waist.

"Let's go take a look!"

Cao Fengqi headed straight outside.

Liu Xiuxiu and Liu Chunying followed behind him, both a little nervous.

"Cao Fengqi, get the hell out here, now!!"

Just as Cao Fengqi stepped out the door, the arrogant shout rang out again.

He spotted the group ahead of him at a glance.

When he saw Wu Qianqian, Cao Fengqi narrowed his eyes slightly. His gaze fell on the fat man in the middle, and a name surfaced in his mind.

Wang Dahai!

One of Wu Qianqian's suitors.

The man was rather ugly and already had a wife. In the eyes of the eighteen-year-old Wu Qianqian, he was a fat pig, and she had always been indifferent to him.

Now this was...

When Wu Qianqian saw Cao Fengqi come out, her gaze filled with hatred. She held Wang Dahai's arm with both hands and squeezed it slightly.

Feeling the softness against his arm, Wang Dahai raised his head somewhat smugly.

His eyes were mere slits in his fleshy face as he stared arrogantly at Cao Fengqi.

"Wang Dahai? The Wu family."

Cao Jiancheng frowned when he saw who had come. "What are you doing at our home?"

"Hmph, Cao Jiancheng, don't pretend you don't know."

Wu Qianqian's father snorted coldly. "Your son has ruined our daughter's reputation. You must give us an explanation today, and he must apologize to my daughter!"

"When did I ruin your daughter's reputation?"

Cao Fengqi looked at him and said calmly, "Everything I said was true."

"Cao Fengqi, you bastard, you..."

The moment he finished speaking, Wu Qianqian pointed at him, her face icy. "You couldn't have me, so you wanted to ruin me. Today, you have to get on your knees and apologize to me."

"Couldn't have you, so I wanted to ruin you? Heh."

Cao Fengqi shook his head mockingly. "What an idiot. Who would want a jinx?"

"You little bastard, you're still slandering my daughter? Do you think you're strong enough to do as you please now?"

Mrs. Wu planted a hand on her hip and pointed angrily at him, just like her daughter. "You used to chase after my daughter every day, and when you couldn't win her over, you cursed her. Your Cao family must apologize for this today."

"Wu family, Wu Bing, you can't be unaware that your daughter nearly got my son killed, can you?"

Seeing how arrogant they were, Cao Jiancheng also shouted angrily, "Ask the people around here: were your daughter's actions those of a decent person?"

"Shut up, old man."

Wang Dahai spoke up and shouted at him directly. Staring at Cao Fengqi, he said coldly, "Cao Fengqi, get on your knees and apologize to Qianqian right now. Give her a proper apology, and we'll call this settled. Don't say I didn't give you a chance."

Cao Fengqi looked at Wang Dahai and narrowed his eyes slightly, a fierce glint flashing in them. "Wang Dahai, who the hell do you think you are?"

"You..."

Wang Dahai was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected Cao Fengqi to show him no respect at all.

"Are you trying to make an enemy of our Wang family?" he asked, staring at him darkly.

"Idiot!"

Cao Fengqi looked at him coldly, then swept his gaze over Wu Qianqian and the others. "Get lost. Stop barking here, you dogs. What bad luck."

"Damn it, Cao Fengqi, I think you're fucking asking to die."

Wang Dahai hadn't expected Cao Fengqi to dare curse him. A vicious look appeared on his face, and he swept his arm out, drawing a long saber from his waist and pointing it at him.

He was brimming with killing intent.

Cao Fengqi looked at him and moved his hand, bringing the Arcane Musket into it.

"You think you can take me on?" he asked coldly, staring at Wang Dahai.
