âBastard, who allowed you to speak about my brother like that? Ming, I think youâve grown tired of living!â
Behind Ming, three figures flashed out like bolts of lightning, with Xu Xiaomo naturally at the forefront. After scolding Ming, her gaze towards Beiting Huang became somewhat evasive, but she eventually mustered up the courage to look his way and greeted, âLittle Ninth, itâs me, Iâm really sorry!â
This âsorryâ touched Beiting Huangâs heart. Xu Xiaomo didnât need to apologize to Beiting Huang; in fact, Beiting Huang owed her a great favor. She had saved Huang City, and if it hadnât been for her intercepting Ming along the way, not only would Huang City have been destroyed, but Teacher Nan Ling and the others probably would have perished on the spot as well.
Such words did not need to be spoken between brothers. Beiting Huang gave her a faint smile, and their eyes already said it all.
With Beiting Huang in front and Xu Xiaomo behind, Ming seemed not to fear at all. Instead, he stood very calmly with his hands behind his back, turned his body sideways, neither looking at Beiting Huang nor Xu Xiaomo, but with an attitude of âletâs see what you can do to me,â âIn Yan City, brawling is not allowed. If you have the courage, just try to strike me!â
Xu Xiaomo was somewhat impulsive. She had chased Ming for a long time, for two months, and in these two months, she didnât know how many times they had fought or how many times he had escaped from her. It had to be said, as the oldest clan of the 33 Heavens, and Ming being the most favored prince of the Spirit God Clan, he truly had an unending list of tricks at his disposal.
As a result, Xu Xiaomo had already lost her patience. She chuckled twice, unable to resist stepping forward, âSo what if fighting is not allowed? Whatâs the big deal about being driven out of Yan City? Anyway, Iâve already roamed all over Yan City this half a day, bought everything I needed to buy, and was bound to leave anyway. Iâll kill you and then leave!â
âKill me?â Ming truly did not take Beiting Huang seriously, focusing all his attention on Xu Xiaomo, âChased me for two months, did you kill me? Youâre simply overestimating yourself!â
âAhhhh!â Xu Xiaomo was infuriated to the point of going mad. At that moment, everyone on the entire street had come out to watch the excitement. It had to be said that the people of Yan City were used to peaceful days and were not afraid of high stages; in such a stirring scene, with Xu Xiaomo being humiliated in front of so many people, how could she not be angry? With a flick of her hand, the thorny claw covered her hand, ready to hammer Ming, âLetâs see if I kill you, I must kill you!â
Beiting Huangâs figure flickered, stepping out diagonally, and caught Xu Xiaomoâs wrist as she hammered down, his eyes coldly locking onto Ming, âXiaomo, leave this man to me, I want to cut him down with my own hands!â
He meant it, he truly felt that way!
Hearing Beiting Huang speak like that, and seeing him easily obstruct Xu Xiaomoâs almost full-force punch, nearly everyone could not help but take this young man seriously. Even Ming slowly shifted his gaze onto the youth, not looking at his delicate features, but seeing in his eyes, as black as everlasting night, the fierce killing intent, dense to the point of tangibility, utterly unfit for his age.
âHuang City⦠City Lord?â Ming articulated slowly, âBeiting Huang? The guy who burned down the capital with a single fire?â
It was only then that he truly took Beiting Huang seriously, sizing him up and down and chuckling coldly twice, with an utterly disdainful mocking tone, âWith just you, you want my life? This must be the funniest joke Iâve ever heard in my life!â
