Chapter Thirty-One: Begging for Mercy is Futile

  Two chapters are combined together now, and the word count of each chapter is absolutely sufficient. I hope you will recommend and support me!

  In the VIP room on the top floor of Jiangnan Wine House, a scene of a big beauty saving a little beauty is being staged. Chu Nianxi held a stainless steel knife that had just been snatched from the kitchen, with one hand holding Su Jingyi, who was still tearful in her eyes, behind him. A pair of beautiful eyes showed tension and anger, "You all back off, don't get any closer, come closer...come closer and I'll really cut people..."

  Two tattooed young men blocked the door, while another three played with their switchblades, staring at Chu Nianxiao who had retreated to the corner of the wall with a sly smile.

  "It's really cool, I found a small one to accompany me for a drink, and unexpectedly, they even gave me a big one for free. We're going to have a great time today!" A young man with a golden retriever-like appearance, who seemed to be the leader of the group of five, quickly wielded the throwing knife in his hand, step by step approaching the path.

  "Huang Mao Ge, no need to make such a big fuss, after all this is my old man's shop. If you start waving your knife around, it'll cause trouble and I...". A young half-sized man with a height of only about 1.6 meters stood beside the golden-haired youth, his expression somewhat embarrassed.

  "Shut up, you little brat! You were the one who suggested going to find a student girl to drink with, and we helped you bring her out. Now you're running away saying you're afraid of trouble? Which side are you really on?"

  "Huang Mao Ge, I didn't mean it that way, just... if things get bloody, it won't be good."

  "It's true, those two beautiful girls, if they get a scratch from a knife, it's a sin." Huang Mao let out a dry laugh. "You guys put away your knives, do you understand the concept of cherishing beauty? You're all so uncultured, following me around and still not getting it, got it?"

  It was clear that Huang Mao was the leader of these second-rate rascals, and after he spoke, the others put away the flying knives in their hands.

  "Don't come any closer, I...I'm telling you the truth..." Seeing Huang Mao and two other young men take a few more steps forward, now only two or three steps away from him, Chu Nianxiao's hand gripping the kitchen knife turned exceptionally pale due to excessive force.

  "Chop away! The harder you chop, the more excited I get... There's a saying, isn't there? 'Peony flowers are like ghosts, and doing it with them is...' As long as you're willing to chop me, brother, I'll endure it. At worst, we can be a pair of ghostly mandarin ducks together in death, enjoying the same carefree pleasure!" Huang Mao's shameless laughter made Chu Nianxiao's trembling body quiver uncontrollably.

  She probably couldn't have done it, Chu Nian had never even held a knife before, let alone had the courage to chop someone up. Earlier, she had just seen Su Jingyi being forced to drink by five little hooligans and in a rush of anger, she grabbed a kitchen knife and rushed out. Now she regretted calling the police first.

  Just as Chu Nianxiao was feeling anxious in her heart, a guy who approached from the right side took advantage of her carelessness and snatched the kitchen knife from her hand.

  "Ah!" Suddenly having the only thing she was relying on taken away, Chu Nianxi exclaimed and tightly hugged Su Jingyi who was behind her, "Do you know that you are breaking the law? Let us leave immediately, I can overlook the mistakes you made just now."

  "Dongzi, Daqiang, close the door and guard it well. We'll have some fun first, and then you two can take over." Huang Mao directly ignored Chu Nianshi's " gentle persuasion" and said to the two men standing at the door. Before Chu Nianshi arrived, the five of them had already drunk two bottles of white wine, and now the alcohol was going to their heads. Huang Mao's "lust" had reached its peak.

  "Alright."

  The door of the room was heavily closed with a "bang".

  With a loud crash, the door to the room burst open, and two people flew into the house. A young man with casual attire and handsome features appeared in front of the now-doorless doorway, his eyes gleaming with an icy chill that sent shivers down one's spine.

  "Looking for death." Seeing his own people at a disadvantage, the guy closest to the door pulled out a broadsword and rushed towards the young man.

  Chu Yu didn't even bother to dodge, his hand shot out like the wind, one punch landed squarely on that guy's face, a massive force erupted, sending him flying, his body crashed uncontrollably into the wall with a loud thud, letting out a pained scream, his nose bridge was already shattered, his face swollen like a pig's head, bright red blood gushed out of his mouth like it was free, from his toothless gums.

  "Xiao Yi......" Chu Nian Xi and Su Jing Yi almost simultaneously exclaimed in surprise.

  Perhaps it was Chu Yu's punch that was too intimidating, and for a moment, not even the two guys who had just been kicked into the house by Chu Yu dared to step forward.

  "Come over here, Xiao Jing and the others." Chu Yu's gaze was like lightning, sweeping across Huang Mao and the other four people. Although he was extremely angry at this moment, he didn't plan to stage a bloody violent scene in front of the people he cared about.

  Although being called "Nian Xi" by his own students, Chu Nianxi didn't feel the slightest bit of disgust, and instead a warm feeling rose up in his heart.

  Chu Nian slowly walked towards the direction of Chu Yu's location, with Su Jingyi stuck to the wall, the atmosphere in the room was tense to the extreme, and the only sound that could be heard was the intermittent painful moans of the unlucky guy who had just been punched by Chu Yu.

  Just as Chu Nianxi and Su Jingyi were about to approach the door, Huang Mao, who was closest to her, suddenly moved, "Grass, a little brat, wants to scare me? Wei Huangmao is not going to be intimidated. Today, these two little girls, I, Wei Huangmao, will definitely eat them up."

  Huang Mao took a big step forward, grasped Chu Nianxi's collar with his hand, and the knife gleaming with cold light was placed across the latter's neck. Unexpectedly, Chu Nianxi's subconscious struggle caused him to lose his footing, and he fell forward, his neck about to come into close contact with the knife. Even if Chu Yu had arrived in time, it would have been too late to save him.

  Just as the knife was about to reach Chu Nian's neck, a red light flashed around her body, instantly generating an enormous force that sent everything within a two-meter radius flying away, including Su Jingyi. The knife was shattered into a pile of steel powder by this massive energy, leaving not even half of its handle intact, while Huang Mao's right hand, which had been holding the knife, went limp and let out a blood-curdling scream.

  Chu Yu seemed to have anticipated this and took a step forward, positioning himself to catch Su Jingyi as she was blown away by the massive force. He quickly took two steps forward and pulled Chu Nianxiao over to his side, who was still in shock.

  "You two go downstairs and wait for me."

  Chu Yu gently pushed Chu Nian and Su Jingyi to the door, while he himself walked forward, picked up the wooden door that had just been blown away by him, and with a loud "bang", the door was embedded back in place. For a time, this VIP room on the fifth floor became a real sealed chamber.

  Now, among the five people in the room, except for the unlucky one who was punched in the face by Chu Yu at the beginning and had already passed out completely, at least three and a half of the other four could still move their hands. The half referred to Wei Huang Mao, whose arm was broken by the first-level magic weapon "Jade Dragon Pendant" worn on Chu Nian's body.

  "Do you know who I am?" This restaurant was opened by my old man, if you dare to cause trouble here, I'll make sure you won't be able to leave without paying.

  Chu Yu was now thoroughly enraged, his eyes gleaming with a cold light like a sword, causing all four social youths, including Wei Huang Mao, to feel a chill run down their spines. Earlier, Chu Yu had already shocked them by sending a 160-pound man flying three meters away with just one punch, and then he had casually embedded an entire wooden door into the concrete wall. The four of them didn't dare to even think about taking action against him.

  Especially since they had just witnessed with their own eyes the scene where Chu Nianxiao exploded a layer of red light around him, sending everyone flying, and now they were even more fearful.

  "You're the one who forced Xiao Jing to drink with you." Chu Yu's gaze was fixed on the guy at the far left, asking lightly.

  "... is... what's it to me?" The little rascal obviously still hadn't fully realized Chu Yu's ferocity, and stubbornly forced himself to say.

  "That's good." The moment the last "good" came out, Chu Yu had already kicked off with one foot, and without any suspense, he kicked that little thug in the abdomen. Accompanied by a miserable cry, the little thug arched his body like a shrimp and flew backwards into the dinner cabinet. After a series of clattering sounds, the little thug lay on the ground, vomiting violently, convulsing like a ***, with thin streams of fresh blood seeping out from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

  "This is so unbearable..." Chu Yu's eyebrows furrowed, the corners of her lips slightly curled up as she thought to herself, "Should I just make these few guys disappear from the face of the earth?"

  Look at Chu Yu's increasingly cold eyes, the remaining three guys who could still stand up and speak were all trembling, but Wei Huang Mao, who had broken an arm, took a deep breath and jumped out, shouting: "You little brat, don't think you're invincible just because you can fight. Do you know who I am? The fifth master of the Xinghai Alliance is my uncle, and if you dare to move me or my brothers today, as long as I don't die, I'll make sure he cripples your whole family."

  Chu Yu was originally still thinking about how to deal with these blind and arrogant people, but after hearing this, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Even if you're not dead, you won't be able to avenge yourself."

  At some point, a six-sided metal object with an extremely heavy texture had appeared in Chu Yu's hand. A layer of faint golden light was visible on its surface, and under the urging of his true yuan force, it shone brightly.

  In front of Chu Yu, the four thugs only saw a huge, roaring tiger head formed by pale golden light suddenly pounce out from Chu Yu's right palm holding the "Tiger Command", followed by a shrill and mournful cry. Wei Huang Mao was like being struck by lightning, that giant tiger head fiercely collided with his chest, as if it had merged into his body and disappeared.

  "Huang Mao Ge, you... are you okay?" Seeing Wei Huang Mao shakily getting up, someone stepped forward to support him.

  "You... who are you? I... who am I..." Wei Huangmao slapped his own head violently, staring blankly with wide eyes.

  "I am very strong!"

  "What's wrong? Do I know you?" A long string of saliva uncontrollably flowed out from Wei Huang's mouth, just like a retard.

  "Monster! He... he made Huang Mao Ge become an idiot..."

  Chu Yu still wore a cold face, put the "Yu Hu Ling" into his arms and said, "He is indeed foolish, now his intelligence is only equal to that of a three-year-old child, now so, in the future also... You several seem to want to follow in his footsteps..."

  "No...!"

  Witnessing this miracle-like scene, the remaining two men suddenly knelt down on the ground with a "thud" and squeezed out two tears with eye discharge to beg for mercy: "Spare us! It was Lou Chao's idea to force Xiaomei to come out and drink at school. The one who threatened Da Mei with a knife just now was Huang Mao, we two were just helping out, being a watchdog. You are a magnanimous person, please spare our two worthless lives!"

  "Can you call them 'little beauty' and 'big beauty'?" Chu Yu Leng snorted, his eyes scanning the two thugs who were begging for mercy. "You two are not the main culprits, but this accomplice's identity has been confirmed. Severe punishment can be avoided, but some punishment is necessary."

  "What's the punishment... what punishment?!" Da Qiang asked, plucking up his courage. Just then, his gaze fell upon Wei Huang Mao, who was lying on the ground, busily licking up the food that had fallen to the ground with his tongue. The former tyrant, who had once been so overbearing, was now drooling and letting out a foolish cry of "I'm hungry, I'm hungry..."

  Witnessing this scene, the two thugs' bodies trembled inexplicably. If they were to become like that guy, it would be better off dead.

  Chu Yu's mouth curled up with a sly smile, "Either jump out of the window or take one punch from me, you can choose." As he spoke, Chu Yu lightly punched the wall beside him, and a fist-sized hole appeared with a thud.

  More than ten seconds later, two figures jumped from the fifth floor of Jiangnan Wine House and fell to the ground, hugging their legs and crying bitterly. Who else could it be if not those two thugs?

  After violently dealing with the five thugs who dared to make a move on him, and severely punishing the ringleader who almost took Chu Nian's life, Chu Yu's anger gradually subsided. With one kick, he sent the wooden door that was stuck in the doorway flying, ignoring the growing crowd of onlookers, and went downstairs.

  "Let's go, Teacher Chu, Xiao Jing."

  Chu Yu had always been in favor of keeping a low profile, but this time he was so enraged because he knew that Chu Nian and Su Jingyi were in trouble, and finally made a big commotion before coming down to the floor. Chu Yu then took one hand and quickly walked towards the big road on the left side of Jiangnan Wine House.

  According to Chu Yu's estimate, the people in the wine house should have found their boss's son and several other thugs' miserable appearance by now. It is highly likely that they will report to the police or chase after them, so it's best to leave as soon as possible to avoid trouble.

  As soon as they got into a taxi, Chu Nian Xi and Su Jing Yi, these two beautiful women, one big and one small, bombarded Chu Yu with questions.

  "Xiao Yi, how did you get so strong? I didn't see things wrongly just now, did I? You kicked a whole door flying and even took two people with it..."

  "Xiao Yi, how did you know we were in the fifth floor VIP room?"

  "I heard a loud noise of something heavy falling to the ground from behind the building before you came down, and then it seemed like someone was screaming. You didn't do anything to them, did you?"

  "And another thing, why did the jade pendant you gave me emit a red glow at that time?"

  "Xiao Yi..."

  Surrounded by two beauties, one big and one small, Chu Yu was as calm as a giant bell, without any hint of happiness. Not explaining would be bad, but explaining would be even worse. Before he had reached the Yuan Ying period and restored his original appearance, Chu Yu did not plan to reveal his identity.

  "The driver stopped the car."

  When the taxi arrived at a parking point, Chu Yu suddenly called for it to stop.

  "Let's just forget what happened today, I'm begging you two ladies, don't ask me again, even if you do, I won't tell. Anyway... anyway, I'll just go back to sleep and forget everything that happened today... it's best if you two forget too..." Chu Yu squeezed out of the taxi, the great Alchemy Master was scared off by the endless questions from the two beauties, big and small, and abandoned his car.

  If it weren't for the fact that "Yu Hu Ling" would damage a person's brain nerves and turn them into an idiot while erasing their memories, Chu Yu might have used this treasure on the two women.

  The only thing that made Chu Yu slightly relieved was that Chu Nianxiao and Su Jingyi did not chase after the car, nor did they know what kind of whispers the two beautiful women who had suffered the same fate were saying in the car. Anyway, for Chu Yu, temporarily avoiding the embarrassing situation of being asked about the reason was already a great blessing.

  Watching the taxi carrying Chu Nianxi and Su Jingyi drive away, Chu Yu finally felt a sense of relief. He took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Duan Zhongyuan's number. It was time to wrap things up.

  "Who?"

  "The person who passed on 'Shura Heart' to you..."

  "Ah, it's Elder Xian...!" Duan Zhongyue's tone was clearly laced with excitement. "What instructions do you have for me, Elder?"

  "Xinghai Alliance is managed by your Duan family, right?"

  "Yes."

  "There's a guy who claims to be the nephew of the Five Hall Masters of your Xinghai Alliance, and he offended me. He even threatened to destroy my whole family. You know what to do now."

  "Which little turtle egg offended the immortal elder, it's simply lawless! I'll definitely give him three knives and six holes to serve." Duan Zhongyuan heard that his subordinate had offended Chu Yu, and his excited mood suddenly fell to a low point, subconsciously bursting out in anger on the phone.

  "… Immortal Elder, I wasn't referring to you! I was momentarily agitated and lost my composure. Please forgive me, sir." Duan Zhongyuan immediately realized his mistake and hastily apologized, promising: "No matter who it is, the Fifth Hall Master or whatever, if they've offended you, Immortal Elder, and made you unhappy, I, Duan Zhongyuan, will be the first to not let them off. Please rest assured, give me half an hour, and everything will be taken care of properly."

  "That's good, since that's the case, today I taught a lesson to some hoodlums at Jiangnan Wine House, you can also take care of it. That hoodlum who claims to have a cousin as the fifth master of Xinghai Alliance was among them, handle it as you see fit."

  After finishing, Chu Yu didn't wait for Duan Zhongyuan to make another promise before hanging up the phone. He had just obtained a jade pendant with the "Wan Yao Lu" from Shen's ancient mansion and was about to return to his villa in Tangchen Haoguang to study it, but he suddenly received a call from Fang Dahai saying that Su Jingyi was in trouble.
