307 No Shame! (1/2)
Chun Wanfeng and Xia Bingchuan had mysteriously popped out of thin air upon hearing Yun Yang's words. Four pairs of eyes bored holes into the Luminary Paste in Yun Yang’s hands which sparkled with a green glow.
”These were found among Mi Kongqun’s belongings. I have some connections in the palace; it belongs to a dead person anyway, better use it than to let it go to waste.” Yun Yang shrugged nonchalantly.
Not that Dong Tianleng and group could process his explanation though; who cared how or where the things came from? As long as it was bona fide and could be held in their hands, was the explanation really important?
The young masters were already anxiously twitching, very eager to get their hands on the paste.
This was the legendary item of their dreams, a treasure that could allow a man to stay tall and proud! It was a Holy Grail among all other possessions…
”Mine!” Qiu Yunsan screeched and began to charge over but he fell over almost immediately. At the same time he had bolted, Dong Tianleng, Chun Wanfeng, and Xia Bingchuan had stuck out their legs simultaneously. All three popinjays had unleashed the highest level of their individual martial skills! Their kicks were like shadows without a trace, marvelously swift.
Just as Qiu Yunsan announced his will, three kicks landed on him at once, flinging him away like a dumpling. Upon landing on his buttocks, he squawked in pain.
”Boss, mine.” It was Chun Wanfeng.
”Boss, me,” said Xia Bingchuan.
”Boss, give me one. Don’t give it to Qiu Yunsan. It's going to be a waste for him to eat it…” Dong Tianleng weighed in as well.
”Boss…” Qiu Yunsan collected himself and dashed back at lightning speed. ”Don’t listen to Dong Tianleng. This bastard doesn’t know anything other than ruining unity. Nothing he says can be trusted!”
Yun Yang shook his head in amusement. ”What are you fellows arguing over? I have four here, isn’t it just right for each to have one?”
Four of them lifted their heads in unison and looked at Yun Yang in shock. ”Boss, don’t you want one for yourself?”
Yun Yang was utterly amused. It seemed that this was the goal of the four fellows’ contest. There were five people but four Luminary Pastes; one of them would definitely not have it. Yun Yang’s portion was out of bounds because if he had not taken them out, no one would have it. Therefore, one of the four young masters would have gone empty-handed.
The four of them were already calculating in their mind – since there must be someone who can’t get it, that person will surely not be me!
It was lucky that these four were quite bonded after so many years of knowing each other in addition to being at Yun Yang’s home; otherwise, with their temper, they might have caused quite a commotion.
”Never mind me.” Yun Yang smiled. ”I don’t have such a need for now. You few are lacking so much, it’s more urgent for you all!”
”Thank you, boss!”
”Thank you for boss’ rebirthing mercy!”
Four of them exclaimed words of gratitude in unison; each one was beaming triumphantly. They were not at all bothered by Yun Yang’s words about their shortcomings.
So what if we’re lacking? There’s a poem that says, ”If you don’t lack in your youth, who can you find as time passes? Beauty like flowers lasts for only a few years, tears of regret streams upon waiting like silver strands!”
Besides, what harm is there to be scolded or mocked? As long as this paste reaches my hand, I won't mind listening to any amount of admonishment.
I will be legendary, standing tall and proud! – The highest level of being a man!
It looks like the new page of legend that spreads in the world of escorts will have to be written by the few of us!
Holding their coveted Luminary Paste, the four brothers who had their dreams come true were beaming so widely that their eyes had disappeared into crescents.
To the four popinjays, the level advancement of the mystical beast offspring bugging them earlier was far less important than this!
Qiu Yunsan took deep breaths, again and again… He tried his best to suppress his surging emotions, doing his best to be collected, calm, and insightful. He then checked the Luminary Paste before swallowing it in one gulp, not even drinking any water to aid his consumption.
He did it in one swift motion but it seemed that he had difficulty downing it. The Luminary Paste was a paste after all; there was some weight to it, so it was difficult to swallow it smoothly.
Great Young Master Qiu stretched his neck to try swallowing the paste down. His handsome face turned purple from his restricted airway.
”Drink some water quickly, it’ll be fine afterward.” An expert of the Qiu Family quickly handed a bowl of water over.
”N – no, no…” Qiu Yunsan waved his hand dismissively and said with much difficulty, ”Don’t… d – don’t… dilute the efficacy.”
The crowd fell silent in shock.
Qiu Yunsan was willing to give his all for this legendary efficacy of the paste. Did he not know that one could die from being choked?
The other three families were exclaiming in relief – thank God my family’s young master is not as embarrassing as Qiu Yunsan.
When they turned around to look at their respective charges, their faces fell immediately.
Chun Wanfeng, Dong Tianleng, and Xia Bingchuan were also stretching their necks with eyes rolling to their backs, trying hard to swallow. The image was exactly the same compared to Qiu Yunsan, worse, even. After all, Qiu Yunsan’s looks triumphed over the rest; in this aspect, he was actually a clear winner.
