Chapter 76: Seething in Anger (1/2)

Chapter 76: Seething in Anger

Since the beginning of the world, the coalescing of qi within the universe formed all living things. This made the era which endless cultivators yearned for to have no way of returning and Ye Fan could only sigh and lament.

This night, his gains were immense and his sea of bitterness had expanded to the size of a pigeon egg, most importantly were the nineteen divine symbols now found within the golden sea of bitterness, he now had exceptional battle prowess and could be considered a real ‘sea of bitterness’ cultivator, removing the ‘barely’ part of it.

At this moment, the sky was already bright and Ye Fan had hunted another two mountain chickens and a wild rabbit, he also picked a few wild fruits before heading back to the small town.

Returning to the small store, the old man had already prepared breakfast and Ting Ting was constantly knocking on his door, urging him to get up causing Ye Fan to smile.

Seeing him return from outside, Ting Ting was shocked and old uncle Jiang seemed like he wanted to say something but was hesitant, he had lived for so long and knew that the fire probably had something to do with Ye Fan.

“This afternoon we have additional food, roasted wild rabbit, leaf wrapped fragrant chicken pieces. Come, have a taste whether these wild fruits are good or not.” Ye Fan handed some bright red fruits over to the little girl.

“Ohh ohh ohh, so delicious.” Ting Ting was super happy.

Finishing the breakfast, Ye Fan returned to his room and continued to study the Dao Scripture, he felt that each time he studied it he would gain different insights into it.

“Eh!”

Ye Fan was shocked, it seemed that the tens of lines at the start of the golden book were gradually becoming blurry and fading, as though they would disappear soon.

“It’s fortunate that I’ve already memorised it all otherwise it would really be problematic.” He did not understand why this was happening.

It was only in the afternoon when Ye Fan was roused by a clamour.

“Old fogey, stop talking nonsense. Hurry and prepare some dishes otherwise I will wreck this shop of yours!”

“Accumulated eight generations worth of bad luck, that big fire was too fierce, that damned bastard, he’s caused us so much trouble!”

“supervisor Liu, in the future what are we going to do? We have been beaten out of the Li family, it’s really easy to say yet bad to hear.”

“You’re asking me? Then who am I going to ask? Let’s take things one step at a time. Old man Jiang, what are you staring there dumbly for, hurry and prepare a table of food and wine to help us relieve our stress, otherwise, you better prepare to sleep forever!”

It was precisely the yellow-skinned middle aged man and his bunch of cronies, they were wrapped up in bandages, some had been previously burnt by the fire while others had been beaten up by the Li family and kicked out.

Ting Ting stood on before the table and timidly said: “Don’t shout at grandpa, we aren’t opening a food store anymore, go somewhere else to eat.”

“Bang!”

Supervisor Liu heavily slapped the table with his palm as his eyes widened: “Old man Jiang you better stop dilly dallying, if you don’t start preparing the dishes I will throw your granddaughter into the well.”

“Little girl go off to a corner, there’s nothing here of concern for you!” A fierce looking man whose left arm was wrapped in bandages pushed Ting Ting with his right hand, nearly sending her tumbling away.

Old uncle Jiang hastily held onto Ting Ting as he hid her behind his back and said: “We really aren’t doing business anymore, this store can no longer open for business. You people are better off going somewhere else.”

“You’ve already forgotten yesterday’s lesson? Our mood is so bad today but you actually dare to stand up against us?!” Supervisor Liu had a cold smile and his yellow face seemed even more waxy, appearing very sinister.

He stood up fiercely as he grabbed old uncle Jiang’s collar and coldly said: “You old fogey, these two days you’ve been growing some backbone. The few of us have become unlucky and you still dare to confront us. If you really make us angry we’ll burn down your dog hole and let you and that little animal become beggars!”

“Don’t beat my grandpa……” Ting Ting began to cry, she was barely five and too short, barely even reaching the height of supervisor Liu’s arm. She could only hug his leg as she pleaded: “I beg you, let my grandpa go. He’s already seventy over years in age…..”

Supervisor Liu grabbed old uncle Jiang’s collar tightly, although he had been burnt, old uncle Jiang was simply too old to be a match for him and his throat seemed to already have some slight bruising from the tight grasp. His wrinkled face was already red as he started to violently cough.

Ting Ting’s eyes were filled with tears as she hugged supervisor Liu’s leg while frantically and pitifully crying: “Please, let my grandpa go, he’s already gasping for air……”

“Wu wu……. My grandpa is already in his seventies, don’t strangle him….. hurry let him go.” Ting Ting attempted to use force to shake supervisor Liu’s leg but she only had so much strength and it was simply in vain.

“Little brat, go off to the side!” supervisor Liu used strength to lift his leg and immediately sent Ting Ting sprawling to the ground, thereafter he raised his leg again and wanted to kick.

By the time Ye Fan rushed over from the backyard to the small store, he witnessed this scene. He immediately grabbed the teapot that was on top of the table and hurled it heavily, smashing towards supervisor Liu’s leg which was raising up and rushed forward to pull Ting Ting to safety.

“Big brother……” Ting Ting’s mouth was whimpering as she timidly shouted out, her large eyes were red and her face was stained with tears, the new clothes on her body were already covered in dust.

Ye Fan was seething in anger and felt as though a fire had been lit within his body, he knocked aside supervisor Liu’s hand and brought old uncle Jiang to safety before angrily saying:” Such a lonely old man and his granddaughter, how can you bear to act against them. Are you still human?!”

“Where did this little bastard come from? Look at how he’s speaking?” The few people by the side were feeling indignant as they all stood up and stared at Ye Fan with ill intentions.

Supervisor Liu’s yellow face was gloomier than ever, looking down from his high horse, he looked disdainfully at Ye Fan and shouted: “Little bastard so young yet trying to learn from the adults and upholding justice, I’ll toss you into the well later and see if you still dare to talk so loudly!”

Old uncle Jiang’s neck was bruised and his face was red, he crouched on the ground as he coughed for a long while before finally recovering and standing up. Ting Ting was extremely nervous and sobbed spasmodically while lightly massaging the old man’s back: “Grandpa, you’re alright right? Don’t scare Ting Ting, Ting Ting is very scared and concerned……”

Seeing this, the fire within Ye Fan grew larger but his countenance grew colder as he stared at supervisor Liu: “You’re already so big, have all those years been wasted on living a dog’s life?!”

“F***, where did this wild child come from, actually daring to speak like that to supervisor Liu, beat him to death!”
