Chapter 25 (1/2)

025 – Hedonistic Young master

Yan Xiangma’s expression was somewhat stunned, his mouth hanging open and his eyes glazing over. There were ten thousand gra.s.s mud horses[1] galloping wildly within his heart.

This was not right at all. The development of the situation should not have continued like so. As a young master of a well known and wealth family, after he came to obviously threaten in a benign manner, this little fellow with dark black skin should have promised never to interact with the girl of Cui family again by saying yes to everything. He would also demonstrate the style of a n.o.ble young master by benevolently and tolerantly pat him on the shoulder. From then on, they would have no dealings with each other. Both the appearance and the name of this person would not appear in his own life again ——

What did he mean by breaking the stone with his finger?

He was unwilling? Was this a strike of retaliation against him?

“I am not a normal person you can stamp all over. If you really want to force me to do something I am unwilling to do, then you will definitely have to pay a price for your own actions.”

Yan Xiangma very naturally filled in such a speech for Li Muyang in his heart.

The skeleton of Yan Xiangma’s fan lightly tapped on the stone to check the hardness of the table. Looking at the large corner of the lapis lazuli table gouged out by him, he said out loud: “I thought I had already asked someone to investigate you thoroughly. It seems we still do not completely understand you.”

“You’ve already understood very clearly.” Said Li Muyang. “But we will change everyday, is that not right?”

“How were you able to do it?” Yan Xiangma asked while looking at Li Muyang.

“I wanted to do it, and just did it.”

“Such an answer cannot convince me.”

Li Muyang’s eyes narrowed as he began laughing: “I did not think to convince you. I only spoke out the truth; in truth even I do not have a clear answer.”

Yan Xiangma opened his fan with a ‘pak’ sound, saying: “My fan is called the ‘Beating Dragon Spine.’ It was crafted by great master Mo Langyong of the Mogan mountain from a divine meteor. I’ve practiced martial arts ever since I was small, and have a famous master. Right now I have already entered the middle stages of the High Mountain stage – therefore, I am able to use this ‘Beating Dragon Spine’ fan to easily cut apart this Lapis Lazuli table. What about you? You are only a person without the strength to truss a chicken, riddled with illnesses. Just how were you able to do it?”

“What’s the meaning of you pursuing this matter of how I was able to do it? The fact that I am able to do such a feat, should be the thing you are most concerned about, is that not right?”

Yan Xiangma considered Li Muyang for a while, then spoke: “Do you still have any watermelon?”

“Yes.” Li Muyang nodded his head.

“Then give me two pieces.” Yan Xiangma said. “The weather is too hot, I am thirsty again.”

Okay.” Li Muyang said with a smile.

After finis.h.i.+ng the two ice cold pieces of watermelon, Yan Xiangma stood up satisfactory. Looking at Li Muyan: “I seriously and sincerely advise you, that you should consider my proposal. Don’t do an idiotic thing, is that alright?”

“Thank you for cousin’s sincerity. But I have already made my decision.” Li Muyan replied with a smile.

Yan Xiangma shook his head with a sigh, saying: “Don’t think you can protect yourself just because you know some shallow martial arts. There are some people that you cannot afford to provoke.”

“I have never thought to provoke anyone.” There was a bashful smiling expression on Li Muyang’s face: “I will also pray that no one comes to provoke me.”

“Not knowing how to appreciate kindness.” Yan Xiangma shook his head, waving his fan as he headed outside. “I tell you, I am a famous indulgent young master of Jiang Nan city. There is nothing I do not dare do.”

Li Muyan saw him off, then returned to the courtyard. He stared dumbly at the cracked and broken Lapis Lazuli table.

He pieced a piece of the table that had been cut apart by Yan Xiangma’s ‘Beating dragon spine’ fan and used his finger tips to rub against it for a while.

Then he picked up the stone that he had broken apart forcibly using his own strength, lightly caressing it with his fingers —–

“Aiya—–” Li Muyang let out a small exclamation. There was a small cut on his fingertip with fresh blood dripping out from the wound. But by the time a red drop of blood has dripped out, the wound had already healed.

“Cutting it with the fan is more neat.” LI Muyan said with a highly envious tone.

Yan Xiangma sat in the rear courtyard of a garden. In the octagonal pavilion of the rear courtyard, there was also a lapis lazuli table.

Yan Xiangma placed his ‘Beating dragon spine’ fan to one side, then placed his palm against one corner of the table.

“En—–” Yan Xiangma let out a low grunt, fiercely exerting force. But the hardness of the Lapis Lazuli table was incomparable. There were no signs of any abnormality whatsoever.
