Chapter 66 – Wrestling Possession!Translated by:Edited by:TLCed by: OMA
If he had other choices, Long Chen wouldn’t have offended Huang Xiang.
However, Yang Lingqing used an entire night entering the Big Barren Mountain alone to prepare him this gift. Allowing someone else to forcefully buy it away was impossible.
Yang Xueqing reminded him that if he was not strong enough, he must keep a low profile while travelling.
Long Chen did not want to get into a conflict with Young Master Huang Xiang but he was not one to be easily bullied. The Housekeeper Liu was already giving him vicious gazes at that moment. Long Chen plainly smiled and sincerely said, “To tell you the truth, this Horse is extremely important to me so I can’t sell it. If the Young Master really want one, he can catch another. I doubt that it will be difficult.”
If he was at Poplar town, if someone were to look at his things and just took it, Long Chen would definitely charge at him without any hesitance.
However, he was on his own in another town, and shouldered a heavy responsibility. Therefore, his actions reflected his maturity.
But if he just continued to give in, people would naturally think that he was easy to bully so after they gained an inch, they would want a foot.
[TL Note: Idiom(得寸进尺) – “Gain an inch and want a foot” means to be insatiable]
Housekeeper Liu initially thought that he could easily send Long Chen away to prevent disturbing his Young Master’s good mood. He never would have thought that Long Chen would go against him.
He had already developed murderous intents for Long Chen. At that moment, he indicated to the few guards. Housekeeper Liu said icily, “From what you are wearing, you must be of a low cla.s.s status yet you don’t have foresight and knowledge. My Young Master is the direct heir of the Huang Family in one of the Ten Great Citadels of Yuanling City, Huangyun Citadel. I will give you another chance to get lost. If not, not only you, but all of the people related to you will die a terrible death.”
Long Chen was not one to be intimidated by others, so after sizing up Housekeeper Liu, he formulated a plan in his mind.
‘The housekeeper and the few guards’ ability were only at the seventh level of the Dragon Pulse Realm so they aren’t my match. However, it looks like the fact that they are of the Huang Family in Huangyun City is true. I can’t afford to offend such factions. Furthermore, this Huang Xiang should be at the ninth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm. But this is a gift from Lingqing so no matter whom it is, they can’t take it away…….’
As a result Long Chen’s mood darkened, he looked coldly at the housekeeper and said: “Everybody, I already said that this Horse matters a lot to me, does anyone still insist in seizing my possession here at Yuanyang City?”
At that moment, many people saw Long Chen and a group of people in a dispute, thus surrounded them to watch.
The waiter from the inn noticed that this silly donkey Long Chen unexpectedly broke into a fight with the other party, and hurriedly pulled back, smartly distancing himself from Long Chen. He was immediately questioned by people about what was happening.
The waiter scoffed and pointed at Long Chen: “This little boy is a country b.u.mpkin, that well-dressed Young Master clearly comes from a well-to-do family and wants to buy his Horse but he rejects him. The two pieces of Deity Jade, if it is some other fifth level Huang grade demonic beasts; they will be enough to buy a hundred of them! Tell me, is he not stupid?”
A few bystanders saw Long Chen’s annoyed look, and instantly nodded their heads.
The innkeeper was a middle-aged man with a long beard, and he was stroking his beard at that moment. He looked at Long Chen and said: “It must be this young man’s first time outside, and does not know his limits, let him suffer this time around so he can understand the ways of the world. However, if the other party were to punish him severely, he may be done for, for the rest of his life.”
Other guest from the inn nodded. “From his dressing, he must be a child from a small town. He doesn’t know how to restrain himself after coming to a big city. If he dies, it can only be blamed on his parents for not telling him how large the outside world is.”
Long Chen looked very young and seemed to have some talents. The remorseful thing was that he was too ill tempered. The people looking at the situation antic.i.p.ated what was going to happen as they shook their head.
However, Young Master Huang was a n.o.ble so they also didn’t dare to stop the fight.
After hearing Long Chen’s words, Housekeeper Liu was already in a towering rage.
When he wanted to make his move, Young Master Huang Xiang had already shifted his gaze from the Ebony Scaled Dragon Horse to Long Chen. His originally elated face had instantly turned incomparably gloomy. He moved away from his guards and was soon standing in front of Long Chen.
Housekeeper Liu hastily said, “Young Master, you can just continue looking at the Horse. You will not need to deal with a small brat like him. This stupid donkey is a small matter, but to make your mood turn bad is a big matter…..”
Huang Xiang stared at Long Chen for a while before he indifferently said, “All of you move out of my way. This small fellow should be a talent from some small town. For him to be arrogant, it is normal. Haven’t I also walked on that path that year? However, he is indeed not your match or your subordinates. Since I am going to enter the Lingwu family, I can use him as a way to train my skills.”
“But….Young Master, this small character needs you to deal with him personally. I….”
“It does not matter. Old Liu, you can just go to the side. I also won’t blame you.”
Seeing the master and subordinate chatting among themselves, completely ignoring him, Long Chen was already in a rage.
This Ebony Scaled Dragon Horse was his after all. His opponent wanting to seize it was already pushing the limit and now they were also showing a condescending att.i.tude.
Ever since Long Chen had his Dragon Jade, his power had gradually become stronger. He had never been angered to this state.
Thus, he coldly laughed.
After Huang Xiang heard his laughter, he turned to face him. At that moment, a strong power had already gradually surged out of his body!
Long Chen had originally thought that Huang Xiang was a spoilt brat. He never would have thought that he was pretending to be weak!
