171: She is pure and innocent, and you are slandering her!

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

No sooner had Chu Awesome finished speaking than the ground began to tremble!

It was as if... an ancient beast, awakened from its slumber, was approaching with heavy steps!

Everyone in the food stall changed color, looking in horror at the source of the sound.

A giant man, easily two meters and two decimeters tall, emerged step by step from the shadows of the alley entrance.

He was shirtless, his bronze skin rippling with muscles that swelled like granite, exuding explosive power.

A grotesque scar ran diagonally from his left shoulder to his right abdomen, rising and falling slightly with his breathing, adding to his ferocity.

He stopped beside Chu Awesome, like a moving small mountain, his shadow almost completely enveloping the entire square table.

A pair of bell-like eyes, filled with undisguised brutality, stared fixedly at Ye Chen's face.

"Kid..."

Chu Long's voice gradually turned sinister.

"You've got a lot of guts."

"Daring to tease my young master like this, I'm going to twist your head off..."

"And let the young master kick it around like a ball!"

The surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees.

The diners who had been watching the commotion now turned pale, quietly moving their stools to distance themselves as much as possible from the area.

Liu Qingluo's eyes narrowed, and her right hand silently pressed on the short blade at her waist.

Red Three Thousand was so scared his legs turned to jelly, almost falling back into his chair.

Only Ye Chen remained seated on the plastic stool, even crossing his legs.

He lifted his eyelids, sized up Chu Long, and then commented seriously.

"Hmm... although his dick is a bit short, his ambition isn't."

"Pfft––"

A guy at the next table, who was drinking beer, couldn't hold it in and sprayed beer all over his companion's face.

Everyone's expressions were extremely amusing.

Some wanted to laugh but dared not, so they stifled it, their shoulders shaking wildly... Chu Awesome's furious expression froze, his mouth agape, unable to react for a long time.

Chu Long's fierce face first showed a flicker of confusion, as if he hadn't heard clearly, or couldn't believe his ears.

Two seconds later.

His entire face instantly turned a liver-like purple, and the veins on his forehead and neck bulged like earthworms!

"Who the hell are you calling short-dick?!"

"I'll kill you!!!"

He could no longer restrain himself, charging forward like an enraged prehistoric beast, his massive body thundering.

The next second.

A fist the size of a sand-pot whizzed with a sharp sonic boom, smashing down fiercely towards Ye Chen's face!

This punch was unadorned.

Pure, terrifying physical strength!

Before the punch even landed.

The violent wind from the punch already blew Ye Chen's fringe wildly backward!

Ye Chen remained seated on the plastic stool, his crossed legs not even uncrossed.

Facing that terrifying punch, he merely casually raised his right hand, and then... extended an index finger.

Just that one finger, gently met the sand-pot-sized fist.

"Bang––!"

A dull thud echoed, but the anticipated scene of broken bones, torn tendons, and flying flesh did not occur.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Chu Long's fist, capable of shattering stone and splitting rock, was actually held firmly by that seemingly fragile index finger, suspended less than three inches in front of Ye Chen!

The punch's force abruptly ceased.

The violent power vanished without a trace, like a clay ox entering the sea.

Chu Long's furious expression instantly froze, replaced by bewilderment and shock.

He felt as if his punch had struck an eternal mountain... No!

It was an existence even more unshakeable than a mountain!

All the force rebounded, making his arm feel somewhat numb, yet it couldn't make that finger bend even a hair's breadth!

"This... how is this possible?!"

Chu Awesome's sneer completely froze, his eyes bulging almost out of their sockets.

The few followers behind him gaped, looking utterly dumbfounded.

In the food stall, all the diners secretly peeking over collectively gasped in cold air.

Some dropped their chopsticks onto the table.

Some were oblivious to the beer dripping from the corners of their mouths after taking a sip.

The same expression was written on everyone's face... They'd seen a ghost!

"I... am I seeing things?"

"It's a movie, right? This must be a movie! Where's the camera hidden?"

"One finger blocked that monster's punch? Oh my god..."

"Too fake! This doesn't conform to physics!"

...The chatter exploded after a moment of dead silence.

However.

An even more astonishing scene was just beginning to unfold.

Ye Chen's index finger bent slightly backward, and then... flicked forward!

Chu Long's massive body, weighing over three hundred catties, was sent flying backward on the spot, smashing two empty plastic tables and chairs behind him, then tumbling seven or eight meters on the ground before coming to a stop.

The most outrageous thing was... one of his hands hung limply to the ground, as if it were crippled, and he couldn't even get up.

The food stall once again fell into a deathly silence.

Ye Chen slowly lowered his hand, picked up the half-empty glass of lemonade on the table, took a sip, and then looked up at the ashen-faced Chu Awesome.

"Excuse me, can we go catch our boat now?"

"Or..."

He paused, then smiled slightly, "Do you also want to try what it feels like to be flicked by me?"

Chu Awesome shuddered, jolting awake from his shock.

He stiffened his neck and roared angrily.

"I... I underestimated you!"

"But I'm telling you today, no one can harm Li Meier!"

"Otherwise, it means endless enmity with my Chu Family of Yanjing!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen stood up.

As a result... Chu Awesome and his followers recoiled several steps like startled rabbits, their faces filled with vigilance.

Seeing this, Red Three Thousand broke out in a cold sweat, too anxious to care about much else, and quickly leaned close to Ye Chen, whispering.

"Mr. Ye! Please don't be impulsive!"

"He is the sole young master of the Chu Family, the head of the three great families in Yanjing!"

"He's the only male heir of the Chu Family in this generation, cherished like the apple of their eye!"

"If something were to happen to him in your hands, the Chu Family's Old Master would probably be furious, and that would truly be an unending feud!"

Red Three Thousand felt bitter!

His energy center hadn't even been repaired yet!

If Ye Chen killed Chu Awesome here, would the enraged Chu Family still care about the cause and effect?

Ye Chen might be able to protect himself, but he, the guide and former Hidden Sect elder, would definitely be the first to be crushed to dust!

After listening, Ye Chen's smile grew wider.

"Oh? So he's that awesome?"

Chu Awesome saw Ye Chen's reaction and heard Red Three Thousand's persuasion, assuming Ye Chen was intimidated by the Chu Family's name.

As a result.

His back straightened a bit more.

"That's right! I'm that awesome!"

"If you know what's good for you, quickly kowtow and apologize to this young master, then get lost far away, and never again harbor thoughts about Li Meier!"

"Otherwise..."

"My Chu Family will make it impossible for you to take a single step in the East! Dare to try and touch me?!"

"Oh."

Ye Chen nodded.

"You're so awesome, yet you're licking a woman like a lapdog?"

"And you're licking a woman who treats you like an idiot and secretly plots with others about dual cultivation?"

"Tsk tsk, truly a disgrace to the Chu Family of Yanjing..."

"You're the damn lapdog!" Chu Awesome instantly bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "And what nonsense are you spouting? Li Meier is pure and untainted, how dare you slander her?!"

"I slander her?"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise as he spread his hands.

"It seems you really don't know, do you?"

"Your 'pure and untainted' Miss Li Meier has long sought out Zhao Yi of the Zhao Family in Xiamen City, all for the sake of cultivating her technique."

"She's plotting to have Zhao Yi marry Bing Lan, the CEO of Shuyue Group, and then, through dual cultivation, transfer Bing Lan's special physique power to herself."

"As for how to transfer it, we're all men, you understand!"

Chu Awesome: "???"

Looking at his expression, Ye Chen continued to smile.

"It seems you don't believe it?"

"Isn't there a Hidden Sect elder right next to you?"

"Ask him if what I'm saying is true?"

Chu Awesome was utterly shocked.

He would never believe... that Li Meier would secretly plot such a thing behind his back!

The two of them had agreed to grow old together!

He abruptly turned his head to Red Three Thousand, roaring his question.

"Red Three Thousand!"

"He's lying, right?"

"He's deceiving me, right!!!"
