Chapter 49
With the Gobi Desert’s sandstorms ravaging the majority of Xiye, it was hard to procure tea, especially the rare premium kind. Since Chu Feng rarely had the chance to taste such good tea, he didn’t want to ruin the mood.
“Did you not hear me when I was speaking to you?!” Li Ziyang’s expression darkened; a lowlife like Chu Feng, completely ignoring him? This was an unacceptable insult to his dignity! “My family is worth several billion, and I have connections throughout the entire province! I can crush an insignificant ant like you with a single word! What rights do you have to compete with me, to steal my woman?”
Li slammed the table, his face contorted with rage and a murderous aura emanating from him, “I’m warning you here. Stop playing the fool, kneel and promise you’ll leave Yun Muqing and get the hell out of Jiangling, and I might spare your life. Understood?”
“With tea-brewing apparatus of such a high quality, it’d be a waste if we don’t brew several more varieties.” Chu Feng suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at Li Ziyang. He then asked calmly, “The Phoenix Oolong Tea of Chaozhou, the Iron Goddess Tea of Anhui, the Maofeng Silver Needle Tea of the Yellow Mountain, do you have those varieties here?” This whole time, Chu Feng had been ignoring the demanding Li Ziyang, as if he was nothing but a rage-filled clown.
When Li Ziyang realised this, the corner of his eye twitched several times, and he looked at Chu Feng with bloodshot eyes and a murderous glare for as long as a whole two minutes.
Chu Feng merely held on to his teacup and met his gaze, calmly and without the slightest hint of fear.
“Yes, I do! But I’m afraid you won’t have the chance to drink it, by the time I’m done with you.” Li Ziyang sneered. Then, he suddenly yelled with extreme killing intent, “Hu, serve the tea!”
This cup of tea was called the ‘Decapitation Tea’. Hei Hu, who’d been spoiling for a fight in the corner, grinned and cracked his knuckles loudly as if he was popping popcorn. With that, an overwhelming aura burst forth from him as he answered, “Understood!”
Finally, it was his time to shine. Hei Hu had been Li Ziyang’s follower for ten years as his trusted lieutenant, and though he may not be the most capable, he was certainly the most loyal and the one who understood Li Ziyang the most.
This Chu Feng had been acting high-and-mighty since he walked in the door, as if he was not of this world and Li Ziyang wasn’t even worthy of his attention. How dare he pretend to be above them? What rights did this man, who grew up poor and wasted ten years in the army with nothing to show for it, have to pretend that? Who gave him the guts, the courage to act with such arrogance in front of Young Master Li?!
Hei Hu had been eying Chu Feng since the start, and only held back because his boss didn’t give the command. But now that Li Ziyang had finally lost his patience and said the word, Hei Hu instantly felt relieved as if all thirty thousand pores on his body had expanded; if he didn’t knock all the teeth out of that bastard today, then he was no man at all!
Hei Hu gave Chu Feng a dirty look, then walked out with a dismissive look. Before long, he returned with a steaming pot of tea and headed straight for Chu Feng. “Phoenix Oolong Tea of Chaozhou, as you requested.”
However, when Hei Hu stepped forward, he suddenly used so much force that dust flew up from between the floorboards. A cruel smirk lifted the corner of his lips, and when Chu Feng reached out for the tea, he would immediately crouched and aim a sweeping kick at his legs. He was sure that Chu
Feng’s calf bones would be instantly broken, and that would make him fall to the ground howling in pain. That broken leg would be the perfect lesson in teaching him how to address Young Master Li properly.
This was a trick that he knew like the back of his hand. Li Ziyang too knew what he was planning, and mirrored his cruel smirk. Li Ziyang had complete trust in Hei Hu’s abilities, since he could easily beat even ten of those special ops soldiers. And that was saying something, considering those soldiers were considered the elite fighters of Jiangling, with almost mythical prowess in combat.
He really wanted to see how Chu Feng would keep up his arrogant act once all four of his limbs were crippled. Li Ziyang smiled when Chu Feng took the teapot from Hei Hu with a ‘thank you’.
