Chapter 206: Eradicating evil! Gifting the shop!

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

Although they were separated by a very large road intersection, Ling Yun could already hear the scrambling of footsteps. He knew that the Xiangxi people had noticed that the Gu Insect poison had been dispelled and they were coming here for revenge.

Tang Meng and Yao Rou came up obediently. Tang Meng immediately asked, “Brother Yun, what’s going on? Why are we getting ready for a fight?”

Ling Yun chuckled as he said to Tang Meng, “Look after Little Rou and Boss Wang upstairs. I’m going down along with Tie Xiaohu to play around with them!”

After saying that, Ling Yun’s figure moved like a flash and went past them. Very quickly, he had gone downstairs. Then, he saw Tie Xiaohu standing at the entrance like an iron tower.

“F*ck. It’s just seven or eight small fries. What are you so nervous for?” Ling Yun sat in Wang Hong Yuan’s chair and looked at the seven or eight people opposite who were holding poles in their hands. There was even an eerie-looking old man behind them who seemed to be around sixty-years-old.

Gu Sorcery? I wonder if this old man specialized in witchcraft in the Great World of Cultivation! Ling Yun laughed in his heart. He wasn’t bothered by those seven or eight people. He was just fixated on that old man.

He wasn’t afraid of the old man using Gu Sorcery on him but he was afraid that it would be troublesome in the case that Tie Xiaohu gets affected.

The seven or eight people had crossed over thirty meters of distance very quickly and they had reached the entrance of Wang Hong Yuan’s shop.

“Move aside if you don’t want to die. We’re looking for the one with the name Wang!” one of the people who were holding metal poles yelled at Tie Xiaohu.

Tiao Xiaohu just stood there like an iron tower. Naturally, he had an aura as if he could hold out against a thousand people. He laughed coldly and said, “If I wanted to move aside, I wouldn’t be standing here!”

Right now, it was noontime. This was a bustling city district and many people were moving about. When they saw that a fight was about to break out, the pedestrians instantly started spectating.

When the person holding the metal pole saw that Tie Xiaohu wouldn’t budge, he turned to the other people around him and ordered, “Attack!”

Tie Xiaohu laughed softly. When that person came near, he caught the metal pole that was crashing down at him with one hand. He raised his foot at lightning speed. With a *bang* sound, his kick sent that person flying over three meters.

These people were typical Southern Chinese people. Their physiques were rather skinny. Naturally, they weren’t of any threat to Tie Xiaohu.

After that person collapsed to the ground in pain, he didn’t get up anymore. When the others saw that Tie Xiaohu was so domineering, they didn’t dare to go forward. They turned their heads and directed their gazes at that old man.

“Youngster, we’re warning you to move aside for your own good. Otherwise, something bad may happen to you at such a young age. Then, you would have grown that block head of yours for nothing!”

Tie Xiaohu didn’t respond and he didn’t take a single step back. He stood there calmly and waited for the old man to make a move.

That old man saw that Tie Xiaohu really wouldn’t budge and his eerie-looking expression became even darker. His triangular eyes squinted slightly as his fingers, that were hidden in his sleeves, flicked three times.

Tie Xiaohu had never seen Gu Insect poison before. Naturally, he didn’t know that this old man was using Gu Sorcery on him. Hence, he didn’t respond at that moment.

However, Ling Yun’s leather needle pouch had already been placed on the work table in front of him for a long while. He saw that the old man had started using Gu Sorcery without saying a single word and couldn’t help but laugh disdainfully as he waved his hand!

*Pu pu pu* Three big needles glimmered in the sunlight and formed three silver streaks as they shot right at the three blood-colored little worms. The needles struck the worms’ heads with immense accuracy. Then, they were all pinned down below the steps!

At the same time, that old man puked out a mouthful of fresh blood with a *pff* sound as he received another impact!

Gu Insects were hard to raise. This old man had had no more than twelve blood-colored Gu Insects. Now, in the blink of an eye, five of them had been killed by Ling Yun. It would be strange if the old man wasn’t upset!

“So it was you!” after puking out the blood, the old man’s trembling finger pointed at Ling Yun and he said calmly.

Ling Yun gave the old man a bright smile. “That’s right. It was me!”

After that, he said to Tie Xiaohu, “Tie Xiaohu, you can’t beat him as of now. Come in. I’ll play around with him!”

Tie Xiaohu looked at the three blood-colored Gu Insects which had been killed by Ling Yun and his heart trembled slightly. He didn’t dare to do too much as he strode over to Ling Yun’s side and stood firmly.

“Kid, at such a young age, you’re pretty capable. Why don’t you know the rules of the world? Those who go against my…”

Because a lot of people had gathered around, that old man naturally didn’t dare to say the scary words ‘Gu Insect’.

Ling Yun laughed casually. “That’s because you’ve disrespected your elder. What happens in business must be settled in the business realm. Competition can be settled through negotiation. What kind of capability is it if you take someone’s life? If I didn’t see it, it might have been fine but now that I’ve seen it, there’s no way I would ignore it!”

Ling Yun’s words left the old man speechless. His gloomy and skinny face alternated between being red and pale. He had done this for the sake of his nephew. Now, the two sides had reached such a stage and they had no choice but to fight it out.

The old man said coldly, “Since you’ve dared to interfere, don’t blame me for not being courteous!” After saying that, the old man’s two hands flicked consecutively. Seven blood-colored Gu-Insects reflected seven streaks of demonic red light under the sun as they flew towards Ling Yun.

Ling Yun continued sitting on the chair. He maintained a smile on his handsome face as he took out another seven big needles and threw them at the Gu Insects!

The technique that Ling Yun was exhibiting this time was the same as the one he had used at his mother’s clinic the last time. It was his own creation, the Shower of Flowers technique. Now, he was only using needles but when Ling Yun manages to control swords in the future, he would be able to send a barrage of swords flying.

But this time, he only pinned down five worms. It wasn’t because he wasn’t accurate but two of the Gu Insects actually changed directions suddenly before they got pinned down. Then, they continued flying towards Ling Yun at high speed!

Needles are non-living while the Gu Insects were living. With the old man’s manipulation, naturally, they could change directions.

In the blink of an eye, the two blood-colored Gu Insects had reached the front of Ling Yun’s face. One of them was going to dig into Ling Yun’s eye while the other was going for his nostril!

Not bad! An icy killing intent flashed across Ling Yun’s eyes as he slammed the table with his hand!

*Chi chi* Four big needles flew up at the same time marvelously. With lightning speed, they pierced the bodies of the two Gu Insects and in an instant, they were pinned onto the ceiling of the room.

“Uwah…” The old man had taken a heavy blow this time. He puked out three mouthfuls of blood consecutively. A demonic red glow flashed across his eyes as he managed to suppress the injury.

In reality, the two of them still hadn’t made any contact but they knew that it had been a precarious life and death situation. Besides the sound of the needles hitting a hard surface and the sight of the several blood-colored little worms on the ground, the passersby hadn’t seen anything else at all.

Under the noon sunlight, the dead Gu Insects had turned dark brown and they weren’t much different from typical worms. Hence, the passersby couldn’t tell that anything was abnormal.

Ling Yun laughed coldly. “What else do you have? Come at me with everything, I’ll take it!”

That old man saw that his twelve Gu Insects had all been killed by Ling Yun and there was some maniacal feelings on top of his heartache. He charged in front of Ling Yun’s work table. Then, his two hands took the shape of eagle claws as they swung ferociously at Ling Yun’s shoulders!

Ling Yun could see clearly that this old man’s fingertips appeared ash gray. His fingers were long and crooked and they appeared dark brown. He knew that this old man’s hands carried poison.

Ling Yun was not afraid. He did not dodge and hide but let the old man grab his shoulders. Then, under the table, he raised his leg and kicked ferociously, aiming for the old man’s dantian at his lower abdomen!

The old man had just clutched onto Ling Yun’s shoulders. He laughed sinisterly as he sunk his fingers into Ling Yun’s shoulders.

To him, Ling Yun was already dead!

However, before he could finish laughing, that sinister smile faded from his face because he realized that his fingers felt as if they were digging into steel. He couldn’t pierce Ling Yun’s shoulders at all!

Just as he was about to retreat in shock, Ling Yun’s kick arrived and sent him flying back ten meters. He crashed heavily into the wall before falling down on his butt.

“Ugh…” Another mouthful of blood came out. The old man had a ruined expression on his face. He knew that he had lost!

“What a shame, I wore a new t-shirt today!” Ling Yun had an unfortunate look on his face as he slowly stood up and walked leisurely towards the old man.

“Don’t be afraid, I won’t kill you!” Ling Yun looked at the terrified old man and said plainly, “I’d advise that you go back wherever you came from. Let matters in business be settled by businessmen.”

“You… Why aren’t you poisoned?” that old man stared at Ling Yun’s shoulders and asked disappointedly.

Ling Yun chuckled but didn’t give an explanation. Needless to say, the old man’s fingers hadn’t pierced his skin but even if they had, he couldn’t be poisoned, at least not by this old man’s poison!

Ling Yun turned around and said to Tie Xiaohu, “Let them come in to carry this old man away. We have to quickly get down to proper business!”

The people outside the entrance came in anxiously and fearfully and they carried the old man away.

That kick from Ling Yun previously had destroyed the old man’s dantian to the point that he could forget about using his martial arts again.

When that group of Xiangxi people had left, Ling Yun returned to the table side and kept his leather needle pouch before going upstairs.

“Boss Wang, I’ve chased away that group of people for you. In the future, run your business as usual. I won’t be buying this shop anymore,” Ling Yun flashed a bright smile at Boss Wang as he said casually.

The second floor of the shop was very quiet. The three of them had been holding their breaths the whole time, nervously listening to the battle downstairs. Now that Ling Yun had come up safe and sound, Yao Rou and Tang Meng’s nervous expressions finally relaxed.

Yao Rou pounced into Ling Yun’s embrace without being shy at all. Her arms wrapped tightly around Ling Yun’s waist.

Ling Yun felt that Yao Rou’s heartbeat was twice as fast as usual and he said giddily, “What? Were you worried about me?”

Yao Rou buried her head deep into Ling Yun’s embrace as she said sweetly, “Of course not. I was just…just…”

What follows a bloody battle are warm and tender feelings.

Of course, Wang Hong Yuan now knew that he had met a very able person. He bowed his head and said, “Younger Brother Ling Yun, your grace is something that I, Wang Hong Yuan, won’t be able to repay even with my life!”

Ling Yun thought to himself. Why does this Northern man like to bow down so much? Then, he furrowed his brows and gave Tang Meng a look.

Tang Meng quickly pulled Boss Wang up and said with a smile, “Boss Wang, my Brother Yun is just this kind of person. He would help out whenever he comes across injustice. This favor doesn’t need to be repaid. Quick, stop kneeling…”

Boss Wang was now so hungry that he felt as if his chest was sticking to his back. He hadn’t eaten a proper meal in so long. Now that the Gu Insect that had been harming him was gone, what he wanted most was to have a huge feast!”

“Um… Younger Brother Ling Yun, I…I’m really starving right now. Can we…can we go and have a meal together and chat as we eat?”

Ling Yun didn’t decline. He was afraid that this Wang Hong Yuan hadn’t eaten for too long and would eat until he bursts. That would be troublesome. Then, he nodded and said, “Alright, let’s go and eat then!”

And so, the four of them went down together. Because Wang Hong Yuan was so hungry that he couldn’t move, Tang Meng had to support him.

After going downstairs, Wang Hong Yuan pointed into the nearby distance. His eyes lit up as he said, “There’s a huge seafood restaurant over there. Shall we go and eat some seafood?”

Wang Hong Tian loved seafood. Now that he was starving and he wanted to spend some money to treat Ling Yun and the rest, he suggested having seafood.

Ling Yun shook his head and smiled. “Boss Wang, seafood is too cooling in nature. Before your body completely recovers, you mustn’t have seafood. Let’s go and find a place to have some porridge. Today, you can only have porridge.”

Wang Hong Yuan saw that Ling Yun was actually being so thoughtful and he was touched beyond measure.

The five of them left Wang Hong Yuan’s shop and found a porridge place. They ordered the food and started to eat.

Ling Yun and the rest just ate a little bit but Boss Wang ate a big bowl of century egg and pork porridge.

“Boss Wang, for the next few days, you have to eat multiple small meals. If you eat too much in one go, you might get some kind of illness. It would be bad for your stomach…”

Wang Hong Yuan was now in such admiration of Ling Yun’s medical ability that he would prostrate himself in admiration. He would listen to whatever Ling Yun said. He could only swallow his saliva yearningly as he didn’t dare to eat more.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered about proper business. Wang Hong Yuan didn’t wait for the four of them to speak as he said spontaneously, “Younger Brother Ling Yun, you’ve saved my life and even chased away my enemies. I have no way to repay you but if you like that shop of mine, how about I give it to you?”

Ling Yun waved his hand and shook his head. “Boss Wang, I saved you mainly because I couldn’t stand them bullying others. This was a simple task. You need not be too bothered by it.”

Then, he paused before continuing, “If Boss Wang doesn’t want to continue running your business here, I’ll buy your shop. The same thing goes, you just have to give us a slight discount…”

Tang Meng had told Ling Yun about how good this shop’s location was. And with two floors, it had a total of four hundred square meters of space. Without ten million dollars, it definitely couldn’t be bought.

Ling Yun’s plan was to get Wang Hong Yuan to lower the price slightly but he didn’t want to make Wang Hong Yuan lose out too much either.

But Wang Hong Yuan became impatient, so much so that he nearly cursed at the heavens. His neck turned red as he said, “Younger Brother Ling Yun, you may not know but I bought this shop ten years ago. I didn’t even have to spend two million back then. To me, it isn’t much at all. You’ve given me such great grace. If I still take money from you, I, Wang Hong Yuan, wouldn’t be able to run my business anymore in the future!”

What else could Ling Yun say? He looked left and right at Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu, then said to Wang Hong Yuan, “Then what exactly is your intention, Elder Brother Wang?”

“I’ll give this shop to you as a gift! Not just that but I’ll also renovate the inside completely according to your requests! I guarantee that you’ll be satisfied!”

Wang Hong Yuan was banging his chest so hard that the Earth shook!
