Chapter 135: Chapter 133 Hu Ban’s Resentment

All eyes converged on Hu Ban, whose face turned exceedingly unsightly. He hadn’t expected to fail miserably in his attempt to steal a chicken; it had backfired, and he ended up losing his rice. The crowd looked at Hu Ban with derisive sneers, eager to see how he would shoot himself in the foot.

Hu Ban let out a cold laugh, looking at Ye Feng, "Little brother, I was wrong about today’s matter. Let’s just let bygones be bygones. If you ever encounter any difficulties in Nanhong City, just mention my name, Hu Ban. How about that?"

"Kneel down and admit your mistake by kowtowing..." Ye Feng said indifferently, devoid of any emotion.

"You!" Hu Ban fumed with anger, "You little wretch, don’t get too greedy. Do you have any idea who you are? Don’t you know who I, Hu Ban, am in Nanhong City? By offending me, are you seeking death? I’ll say it again, let’s consider today’s matter settled. Understand?"

"Kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistake, or die!" Ye Feng said coldly, the invisible pressure emanating from him and assaulting Hu Ban.

Hu Ban actually felt the pressure, sensing the terrifying aura of Ye Feng that crashed over him like an immense tidal wave, causing his heart to tense up. Hu Ban exploded in rage, "You ungrateful bastard, are you really choosing to throw away the face I’m giving you?"

"You’re courting death!" Just then, a man dressed in black and wearing sunglasses leaped out from behind Hu Ban like a ferocious beast, swiftly and fiercely lunging straight at Ye Feng.

"It’s Kuang Bao!" The crowd watched with concern for Ye Feng.

Kuang Bao was a recent addition to Hu Ban’s ranks, a martial artist in the early stages of developing inner strength. In just a month of following Hu Ban, he had already gained a reputation for his decisive actions and merciless methods.

Kuang Bao reached Ye Feng, wielding a dagger and aiming for his neck.

"Pfft!" In a moment, Ye Feng seemed destined to be struck, and blood splattered violently!

Ye Feng’s hand moved with blazing speed that no one could clearly see how it had pierced through Kuang Bao’s chest.

Kuang Bao was skewered like a kebab, impaled by Ye Feng’s arm.

"Bang!" With a casual flick, Ye Feng threw Kuang Bao to the ground where he rolled and became a lifeless corpse, and Ye Feng’s hand remained unstained by blood!

"You’re seeking death?" Ye Feng’s voice echoed in Hu Ban’s ear, causing Hu Ban to tremble, and goosebumps erupted all over.

Fear reached its zenith in Hu Ban as Ye Feng’s voice seemed to come from the depths of hell itself, suffocating and fatal.

After witnessing this scene, everyone was utterly shocked. Nobody had seen Ye Feng approach Hu Ban, yet there he was, embraced by Ye Feng as if he were a specter.

Lu Hangfeng watched Ye Feng in astonishment, "A martial artist at the peak of inner strength!"

At this moment, Lu Hangfeng no longer dared to underestimate Ye Feng. A stone gambler so formidable, and a young martial artist at the peak of inner strength, such a prodigy was not to be taken lightly.

"Thud~~" Hu Ban’s legs gave out, and he fell to his knees, his eyes filled with the color of terror.

"I was wrong, I was so wrong!" Hu Ban began to apologize loudly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Following that, Hu Ban gave three resounding kowtows, his head smashing against the ground so hard that it bled.

"I was short-sighted; it was all my fault. Brother Ye Feng, I know I was wrong!" Hu Ban shouted loudly.

"Get lost! Don’t let me see you again!" Ye Feng said coldly.

"Yes!" Hu Ban immediately stood up and, with a disheveled appearance, left the room.

After leaving, Hu Ban felt a surge of relief. Just now, he knew that if his apology had not been sincere enough or his kowtow had not been loud enough, Ye Feng would have killed him.

Inside his heart, Hu Ban screamed: "Bastard, bastard, Ye Feng, right? Just wait for me, I’ll have you dead! I, Hu Ban, have never been so humiliated in my life!"

With that thought, a thick killing intent radiated from Hu Ban’s body.

Meanwhile, within the meeting hall, everyone looked at Ye Feng with reverence. No one had expected Ye Feng to be such a formidable presence, impossible to overlook.

"Hahaha!" Lu Hangfeng burst out laughing, "Young Ye Feng, what a fine skill you have. Elder Li, you’ve traveled from afar and even acquired such a rare treasure today. How about you come to my mansion for a celebration? We can discuss the matters we talked about earlier!"

"Good, let us go then!" Li Linfeng could barely conceal his smile, feeling very wise for inviting Ye Feng to come along this time.

With such a massive piece of Emperor Green, the Lin Family’s reputation in the domestic jewelry industry was sure to soar, and there was no need for Ye Feng to personally handle the purchasing of raw stones anymore—Li Xue’er could manage that now.

Just one piece of Emperor Green was enough to become the gold signboard of the Li Family.

Lu Family Mansion was incomparably luxurious, resembling an ancient Prince Mansion—immense in size. Land prices were cheap in Nanhong City and the population density couldn’t compare to Lin Tian City, so the Lu Family Mansion was naturally built with unmatched extravagance.

Inside the mansion, it was a hive of activity, and everyone was extremely joyful.

Lu Hangfeng raised his glass, "Come, I propose a toast to everyone. I hope that we can have a pleasant cooperation this time!"

Afterward, everyone raised their glasses and emptied them in one go.

Lu Kang, holding his glass, looked sincerely at Ye Feng: "Big Brother Ye Feng, I was wrong to look down on you. Please don’t hold it against me. I was indeed too arrogant, but after seeing you, I realized that there is always someone better. This toast is for you!"

Ye Feng gave a slight smile and shook his head, indicating it didn’t matter, and then drank together with the rest.

Although Lu Kang was indeed arrogant, he wasn’t overly cunning. He expressed himself directly, not concealing or being underhanded—he would say it straight whether he respected or disrespected you.

Simply put, he worshiped the strong, and Ye Feng didn’t dislike such people.

At that moment, Lu Hangfeng produced a red wooden box: "Young Ye Feng, it is our first meeting, and I didn’t know what to gift you. Please take this as a token of my regard!"

After Ye Feng took the box and opened it, he felt a strong surge of spiritual energy. Inside was a Jade Guanyin of the same quality as Elder Li’s but significantly larger—it was indeed a mid-grade Spirit Stone!

Although the spiritual energy in this Spirit Stone wasn’t abundant, it was still somewhat useful for healing Ye Feng’s wounds.

"Then I won’t be polite," Ye Feng nodded faintly.

Ye Feng had no reason to act coy. Since he had decided to cooperate with Lu Hangfeng, the benefits that the Lu Family could receive were bound to be a hundredfold more valuable than this Spirit Stone Guanyin.
