Chapter 7 (1/2)

As he was speaking, one of Xia Qilin’s friends carried over a small puppy that was gnawing on bones on the ground.
Its body was covered in grey fur and looked extremely dirty. Now that it was grabbed by someone, its eyes showed terror and its body was trembling.
From its appearance, it should be a two-month-old puppy.
“Didn’t Brother Xia say that your spiritual liquid was able to develop and improve intelligence? Let’s test it out.” Li Yaozong had a teasing look on his face.
Allowing something to develop intelligence? Only those legendary divine-level alchemy medicine could accomplish it.
And such alchemy medicine basically didn’t exist in reality!
Xia Qingchen actually dared to say that the spiritual liquid he concocted could achieve this? If Li Yaozong didn’t grab this opportunity and expose the lie on the spot, causing Xia Qingchen to be mocked and ridiculed until he had completely no face left, Xia Qingchen would truly think that he could lie anytime he wanted.
“That’s right Brother Xia, why don’t you let people like us who have never seen this before broaden our horizons?” Xia Qilin’s friends chipped in.
“Haha, all of us are ignorant and inexperienced. Brother Xia, don’t be so petty.”
Everyone chipped in with their words, formlessly forming an encirclement, causing Xia Qingchen to be unable to extricate himself.
“Fine then, I will let you frogs in the well see something that will broaden your vision so all of you can shut up.” Even a man made of mud would have three-points of fire in him, let alone Xia Qingchen.
With regard to ignorant people, Xia Qingchen had always not been willing to waste time arguing and explaining to them.
It was just that these frogs in the well were simply too noisy.
He decided to let them broaden their horizons and make them shut up completely.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding youths all had anger in their eyes. He actually dared to call them frogs in the well?
Simply ridiculous!
Speaking of background and status, which of them weren’t ten to a hundred times better than Xia Qingchen?
The interesting things they had seen before were 1,000 times more than Xia Qingchen.
Yet, he actually called them frogs in the well?
He must be truly mad!
Li Yaozong put on a fake smile. “Brothers, it seems like Brother Xia is going to allow us, the frogs in the well, to broaden our horizons. Everyone wipe your eyes and prepare to see clearly!”
The youngsters here all understood tacitly.
Later on, if they didn’t humiliate Xia Qingchen to the point where he lost all face, how could they face up to his words, calling them ‘frogs in the well’?
Xia Qingchen didn’t say a word. He opened up the jade bottle and poured out 10% of the Tranquil Heart Divine Water into the mouth of the puppy.
A moment later, the puppy began to tremble. Its eyes rolled back as it let out a miserable groan while its body stiffened.
“It died?” The young man holding the puppy almost couldn’t hold it in.
Li Yaozong and the others all clutched their bellies and laughed uproariously.
“Aiyo, I almost died from laughter. Brother Xia, this is your so-called spiritual liquid that can develop and improve intelligence? Why did the dog die before its intelligence developed?”
“Hahaha! I, a frog in the well, truly have my horizons broadened now!”
‘That’s right. From young until now, this is the first time my vision is broadened!”
…
The elders who were in the surroundings shook their heads and sighed.
“That child most probably has some problems with his head, right?”
“What an embarrassment. Quickly chase both he and his father away. I feel frustrated just by looking at them.”
Xia Cangliu had an ashen expression. He was so angry that he was shaking.
The liquid poisoned a dog to death and Xia Qingchen dared to give such a thing to him?
Li Yaozong laughed for a long time. He grinned widely and raised a difficult statement. “Xia Qingchen, you have the gall to take out an extremely poisonous ‘divine water’ to cheat us and even call us frogs in the well. Don’t you find yourself ridiculous?”
The others were all laughing coldly, with malicious looks on their faces.
Next, they absolutely wouldn’t be so friendly.
That sentence calling them frogs in the well made it hard for them to brush it off even if they wanted to.
But all of a sudden, a blurry voice that was hard to distinguish rang out in their midst. “A bunch of fools treating me like a plaything. Quickly release your doggy grandpa!”
Everyone turned their heads toward the sound. They saw that the little grey dog that was supposed to have died suddenly came back to life.
It was struggling fiercely in the grasp of the young man. Its mouth was moving as though it was speaking.
Everyone was stunned. Li Yaozong asked with uncertainty, “Earlier, was this dog speaking? Or is Xia Qingchen playing tricks?”
“Play your mother’s head! Are you deaf? Can’t you hear your daddy talking?” No one expected that the little grey dog would turn its head over, baring its teeth at Li Yaozong and speaking in the human tongue.
