Chapter 236: Chapter 236: Showing off comes in three ranks

"Chun, forget it, let’s go rest over there for a while."

Jiang Ming shook his head with a smile, graceful and charming, giving off a spring breeze-like aura.

Originally, he only wanted to avoid Qin Jun and the others, but after seeing the beauty of Daji and Li, he didn’t want to leave anymore.

Such beauties, he had never seen before, and to see two at once, was truly heaven-sent!

Compared to Daji and Li, Chun by his side was like insignificant greenery next to blooming flowers.

Thus, Jiang Ming and his three companions sat down under a large tree ten meters away from Qin Jun and his group. Qin Jun shook his head with a dismissive laugh, initially wanting to give them a beating, but then he felt it wasn’t necessary.

It was quite normal for young people to boast, not worth getting angry over.

Of course, all this was based on the fact that Qin Jun’s cultivation was higher than theirs, Jiang Ming was nothing in his eyes.

"Big brother, these people are strange. Look, what is hanging around that thug’s neck, and how dare those two stunning women show their faces so openly?" one of Jiang Ming’s lackeys whispered guardedly.

This wasn’t the city; people needed to be more wary than of magical beasts.

Jiang Ming waved his hand dismissively, "Don’t bother with them, maybe they have some skills, as long as they don’t provoke us, it’s fine."

After visiting the Nanzhuo Dynasty, Jiang Ming had broadened his horizons. Upon returning to the Black Dragon Kingdom, he became haughty, not putting the local strongmen in his eyes.

The reason he didn’t recognize Qin Jun was simple; he never went to Luoyan City but stayed in another city and had no chance to meet Qin Jun.

Anyway, no one was following him.

"Brother Qin Jun, that guy is so annoying. He looks serious but keeps sneaking glances at me and Sister Daji." Li whispered softly in Qin Jun’s ear, hugging his arm, which, in the eyes of Jiang Ming and the others, looked like she was kissing Qin Jun’s face.

Jiang Ming felt so jealous he was nearly going crazy, and his smile disappeared from his face.

"Hmph, slut!" Chun muttered quietly.

It was normal for her to dislike women more beautiful than herself, and she keenly noticed Jiang Ming occasionally glancing at Daji and Li, which made her even more displeased.

"We’ll find a chance to teach them a lesson later," Qin Jun said with a smile as he rubbed Li’s cheek.

With the beauty of Daji and Li, they would attract attention wherever they went.

Qin Jun certainly couldn’t kill everyone who looked at his women, could he?

If he did, he’d spend every day in a killing spree, wouldn’t he die of exhaustion?

Thus, both parties kept to themselves and chatted leisurely. The number of cultivators by the lake’s edge increased, and at a glance, there were at least a thousand, making the lake no longer as tranquil as it had been two days prior.

"How much longer until the Divine Beast’s egg hatches?"

Qin Jun turned to Sha Wujing to ask. In the past couple of days, when he had nothing to do, he would go into the forest to hunt magical beasts for experience points and to sharpen his actual combat skills. He couldn’t beat the stronger beasts, and fighting the weaker ones wasn’t interesting, so he was a bit bored.

"Probably three more days," Sha Wujing estimated.

Three days!

Qin Jun couldn’t help but purse his lips, hoping that something interesting would happen in the next three days.

But even if the strongest person from the Black Dragon Kingdom came, it would hardly pique his interest since he had personally killed even the Immortal Realm Luo Emperor, albeit with the help of his subordinates, but he did kill him, instantly elevating his status.

As news of the Divine Beast’s egg spread, the lake began to have a name.

Divine Beast Lake, well, simple enough.

Qin Jun didn’t know who the illiterate was that named it, too low level!

After half a day, as dusk neared, the Divine Beast Lake finally broke out in conflict. No longer were people foolishly diving to the lakebed to meet their demise, but various powers started to clash.

Qin Jun and his group had always been just spectators, but unfortunately, there were always some idiots.

Dusk passed and night fell.

A group of cultivators dressed in blue walked along the lake, around twenty or so, talking and laughing loudly, clearly unrestrained.

They didn’t come for a stroll; their attention was obviously on Daji and Li, their laughter almost taunting the women they had been with, shamelessly.

Beauty, indeed, is a cause of trouble.

Naturally, Qin Jun wouldn’t allow his women to wear veils every day, and neither Daji nor Li wished to do so.

"Sigh, life is full of people forcing me to slap faces."

Qin Jun laid back on Li’s thighs, sighing as he enjoyed Li’s massage, wishing he could take a nap.

Daji fiddled with her fingers, ignoring everything. Red Boy and the Roaring Sky Dog snuggled up and fell asleep. When Sha Wujing was about to stand up, Qin Jun laughed and said, "Don’t rush!"

It wasn’t that he wanted to watch these people perform feats of courting death, but Jiang Ming was the first to stand up.

Could it be that these people were invited by Jiang Ming?

Qin Jun thought expectantly. If it were as he suspected, then he would have an excuse to get rid of Jiang Ming.

"Are you brothers from Lie Tan?"

Jiang Ming greeted them with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant.

The leading rough man with a blade of grass in his mouth sneered, "Does this young master recognize us?"

Although he was speaking to Jiang Ming, his eyes were fixed on Daji and Li, which infuriated Jiang Ming.

But this was an opportunity to show off in front of the two goddesses. If he did well, he might win their admiration, or at the very least, secure a place in their hearts!

Playing the hero was the most touching approach to courting!

"I am Jiang Ming, honored to be ranked five hundred seventy-nine on the list of talents!"

Jiang Ming said with a smile, his voice gentle but with a hint of arrogance, that made Qin Jun shake his head.

Showing off comes in three levels!

Lowest level: forcibly showing off.

Middle level: showing off with actual ability.

Highest level: inadvertently showing off.

The most dangerous is the inadvertent show-off. Jiang Ming certainly couldn’t do that, but he didn’t even gauge the strength of his opponents. Half of the cultivators from Lie Tan were in the Golden Elixir Realm; they wouldn’t be afraid of him. His action didn’t even count as showing off with strength, it was the lowest form of forced showing off.

"Oh, a talent from the list of geniuses, you’re quite amazing!" the rough man said mockingly, his followers looking at Jiang Ming as if he were a fool.

Jiang Ming frowned slightly, not appreciating the rough man’s tone.

Usually, in the Black Dragon Kingdom, his identity alone commanded respect, even to the point of fawning!

"Do you have some business coming over here?" Jiang Ming asked with narrowed eyes, not mentioning his relationship with Qin Jun and the others, not wanting to appear too presumptuous in the eyes of Daji and the other woman.

"Not your business, get lost!"

One of the Lie Tan cultivators behind the rough man couldn’t contain himself and yelled, and Chun, along with the other two companions, hurried over to stand behind Jiang Ming when they realized that the others were seeking trouble.

"Be polite when you speak!"

"Looking for a fight?"

The two male companions shouted angrily, causing Qin Jun to burst out laughing not far away.

Looking for a fight?

Isn’t that a phrase loved by common children?

"See that? That’s called playing the hero," Qin Jun laughed, Li nodded as if she understood, while Daji and Sha Wujing just smiled helplessly.

Clearly, Jiang Ming and his companions were about to face misfortune.
