Chapter 3: The Official Second-Generation Dragon Young Master

  Just then, the door creaked open with a bang. Next thing I knew, a drunkard stumbled in, slurring out: "Xiaoyan, I really like you so much, just agree to me...". A whole bunch of nonsense.

  Xiao Ni let out a sharp cry of "ah" and immediately hid behind me. Then she said, "Deng Long, don't come over, no, no... My dad will be here soon." She was on the verge of tears, her body trembling with fear.

  That man was still muttering: "You always scare me like this, today I won't fall for it, if your dad wants to come, just let him come, it's a good chance to have a clear talk with him!" Looking at the situation, damn, things have escalated quickly, and it's only been a short while! Since we can't make peace, then let's get straight to the point...

  I took two big strides and picked him up with one hand. I then punched him with just 20% of my strength. He rolled over twice after being hit by my fist. Upon closer inspection, his face was already swollen from the punch. I walked back over to him, lit a cigarette, blew out some smoke onto his face, and said: "You're Deng something Long, right? Are you awake yet?"

  "Hey kid, who are you? Mind your own business!! I'm telling you..." Deng Long yelled at me. I directly punched him in the mouth, making him swallow his unfinished words back into his stomach. Moreover, it seemed like something was stuck in his throat, and then he swallowed again. When he opened his mouth to speak, I saw that one and a half of his front teeth were missing. Just as he was about to speak, I pointed at him with my finger and glared at him. He forcibly swallowed his words back again.

  I patted his face: "This is good, don't be greedy. Now I'll ask you something and you answer, if you talk nonsense, I'll make you swallow all your teeth. What's your relationship with Xiaonian?" After finishing speaking, I pointed at Xiaonian, who was standing there looking a bit stunned.

  "No, it's nothing. I just think he looks good and want to marry him as a second wife." He said to me with a terrified look. I glared at him and scolded: "Are you out of your mind? You want this beautiful girl to be your second wife? What about other men? Is your first wife more beautiful than Xiaonian?"

  I reckon Deng Long was so shocked that he stared blankly and didn't know what to say. I slapped him on the head: "Speak up, how dare you sneak into my house?" Deng Long looked very wronged and said: "My dad is the county government's instructor, generally no one gets killed, I won't get in trouble, besides I just wanted to ask for a second wife, it's nothing..."

  I slapped him directly and he lowered his head. I said, "So you're a second-generation official! Damn it! Come on, tell me, are you looking for a mistress? Are you robbing someone? Or are you still drunk and need me to wake you up?"

  "No, no, oh, not, woke up, woke up, don't need your help, I know I was wrong, I won't dare again. Just let me off. I know I was wrong." And he even gave me a bow and a salute.

  "Deng Long, you beast! You're taking advantage of my absence to flirt with my daughter again! I'm going to kill you today!!!” A middle-aged man suddenly appeared at the door, looking quite robust. Judging from his words, he should be Xiaoxian's father. He was holding a knife that I couldn't identify, probably a hunting knife. He was about to chop Deng Long.

  I quickly stepped forward and grabbed him, taking the opportunity to knock out that dragon with a backhand: "Old Master Li, stop, stop... it's a human life..." It was only after great difficulty that I managed to pull him down. He glared at me: "You're an accomplice, you bunch of beasts! Today, I'll kill you too!" "Dad, I'm fine, he didn't do anything, he saved me." Li Xiaonian hurried over and explained to his father.

  His father glared at me and turned to look at his daughter: "Really?" "Dad, can I still deceive you? Look, he even hit Deng Long, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be fine like this now. Dad, why did you come back suddenly?" Xiao Yan explained to her father while pulling him and pointing at me.

  "Right, right, hurry up, let's pack our things and leave. Song Jun's army will arrive soon, I estimate they'll be here in less than two hours. Last night we ambushed the scouting party, so we came over from the mountain side overnight. I've already told many people, let's quickly gather our belongings and go." This old guy, what a temperament...

  "Cough, cough... Old man, I was thinking, can I join you guys? I want to follow you and learn how to hunt, and at the same time, I can help you out a bit. I don't have anything else to do right now, and my physical condition is pretty good, that's all..." I said with a cough, trying to be polite.

  "Huh? You? Are you okay?" Xiaoyan's father asked me with a slanted glance.

  "Hey, about this guy, what's with the two fists? What do you think?" I asked, nodding vigorously and pointing at Deng Long on the ground.

  "What? Two punches? Two punches can make a person's face look like this? Even if you hit someone with a stick, it wouldn't be this severe?" He said, staring at me in shock and amazement.

  I smiled and shook my head, saying: "No, it wasn't two punches. That face was hit with one punch, the other punch was because he talked too much, I punched him in the mouth... What do you think?"

  The old man stared even harder... Half a day passed without speaking, still maintaining the posture of pointing at Deng Long: "One, one punch? How is that possible? If this punch were to hit an ordinary person, it could break their bones, you know? What do you do?"

  "It's nothing, just that I'm from a poor family and have been trained since childhood. Just now I saw this guy bullying Xiaonian, and in the heat of the moment, it ended up like this. I guess it was because I was too anxious. Haha, sorry to make you laugh."

  "Dad, just let Maple Brother come with us, anyway it's just one more person, and most importantly, he can help you too, you'll save a lot of trouble!" Xiaoxian said while pulling her father's arm and shaking it.

  "Alas! Alright then, let's hurry up and pack our things. Looking at the situation, this battle won't be over in a short while. I reckon we'll have to flee to the mountains and hide for a year or so!" Old Master Li sighed and said.

  As soon as the words fell, I heard the noise outside the courtyard, shouts of "Dragon Young Master" and "Dragon Young Master" reached my ears, accompanied by some nauseating laughter. I looked at Old Man Li's posture, holding that hunting knife, his anger was overwhelming! This is clearly going to be a fight to the death, his face was so red with rage that it was almost black! How much hatred must he have?

  I quickly grabbed hold of Old Man Li: "Old Man Li, calm down first, you stay with Xiaonian. I'll go deal with the outside matters, don't worry about it, I'm a young person and can handle it." After finishing speaking, I turned my head to Xiaonian and said: "Take care of your father, I'll be right back!" After saying that, I turned around and left, and when I reached the door, I waved my hand at them and said: "Don't worry, nothing will happen to me, you should worry about them instead!"

  "This is strange! This person is really weird! Daughter, tell your father what's going on, how did this person end up in our home? He doesn't seem like a normal person!" The old man turned his head and asked Xiaoni as soon as I left, and Xiaoni told him the whole story.

  "Hey, kid, who are you? Where's our Young Master Long gone to? What are you doing here?" A house servant holding a wooden stick pointed at me and shouted.

  No need to look, I already know what's going on. It must be the house slave of that loser official second generation! Alas, in ancient times, even the son of a county magistrate's teacher was at most just like the son of a county mayor's secretary nowadays. They dare to be so arrogant. In modern times, although there are still some arrogant official second generations, they are very rare, and for cases like this small official, it has basically been eradicated.

  "Good grief..." He thought to himself, then walked up to the person who spoke with a smile, stretched out his hand and snatched the stick away at an speed invisible to the naked eye, breaking it into two pieces in one swift motion. Then he smiled and asked: "Were you just talking to me?" Next, he gently patted the other's shoulder. Just kidding! I've been practicing my basic skills for years, if I couldn't even react this fast, how could I face myself waking up at 4am every day?!

  "Huh? What's with the 'big brother' all of a sudden? When did you start following Long Shao? I've never seen you before, how come?" The person immediately changed their expression and smiled at me.

  Honestly, I didn't think about how to do it. I was just about to say something like "the dragon is sleeping inside" and then we would go back through the small courtyard in the back. But at that moment, a voice came from inside: "Deng Lao Er, you get over here and kill them all for me! Whatever happens, I'll take full responsibility!!! Ahh, ouch! It's killing me..."

  No sooner had the words fallen than this group of people reacted quickly enough, and it seemed that they hadn't followed this loser Long to do such a despicable thing. Then four or five people came at me with clubs.

  I thought to myself, it's just as well that I didn't get a massage after drinking so much last night, now my whole body feels uncomfortable. Just when they were about to start massaging me, I conveniently lay down and they all missed their turn in the first round. Then I just lay there waiting to enjoy the massage.

  Then that guy called Deng Lao Er shouted: "Brothers, Long Shao has given the order, beat this kid to death!" Next thing I knew, clubs were falling on me and these people were cursing while beating me: "You blind fool, don't you even look around to see where you are? You dare provoke our Young Master Long, today we'll beat you to death!"

  I lay on the ground and enjoyed it so much, my whole body relaxed, it was so comfortable! Just then: "Stop fighting, stop fighting..." A clear voice with a sobbing tone rang out.

  I also turned my head to take a look and sighed silently "Alas, this massage is not going to work out! I'll find another opportunity later!" Just then, I got slapped in the face! "Ouch!" I sprang up with a fish-like jump, kicked away one person, took two steps back and blocked Xiaonian who was about to run over, her father also came running after.

  Xiao Yan pulled me and cried saying "Are you okay?" Then she continued to cry loudly... I immediately got a headache! First, I touched my face, fortunately, it wasn't disfigured. Then I patted Xiao Yan's head and said "I'm fine, look at me standing here just fine?"

  Xiao Yan looked at me with tears in her eyes and continued to cry, saying "It's all my fault, it's because of me that you got beaten by them..." I shook my head helplessly and smiled at her: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Take care of your dad, just wait for 5 seconds!"

  As soon as the words fell, I flashed out and kicked two people in the chest with my legs, sending them flying four or five meters away. Then I heard a loud shout from behind me, turned around to see someone shouting with their mouth wide open, but the stick in his hand didn't fall down according to the rhythm. With one grab of his arm with my left hand and a kick on that person's calf, I pulled him back and swung him towards the two people running over, knocking them down at the same time.

  Then I ran over and gave the three people lying together a beating with my fists and feet. After that, I stood up, clapped my hands, and looked at the several losers who were covering their chests and crying out for their fathers and mothers. I thought to myself, these years of getting up at 4 am every day to exercise weren't in vain after all! Dealing with these ordinary thugs is easy as pie!

  "Be more careful next time, you're a bunch of losers who rely on numbers. This time I'm just teaching you a lesson, next time when we meet again, it won't be so easy for you! mlgbd, haven't you heard that when fighting, one shouldn't hit the face? Letting you guys hit me a few times was enough, no need to hit my face!"
