"Dare to attack me viciously, I'll fight you with my last breath."
The bald man didn't have the slightest martial strength to compete with Chrysanthemum Douluo!
Quite the guts, haha!
"How does someone so ugly have the courage to oppose me? Clearly seeking death."
At that moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke.
His eyes glared malevolently at the opponents.
"Bang—"
Another one hit the ground, never to rise!
Everyone present was frightened into silence by the scene before them.
"Do you realize your mistake now?!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo picked at his fingernails while looking at the people lying on the floor.
"Deserving death, Sir, please spare us, we know our wrongs, your magnanimity won't be forgotten."
Two men begged pitifully.
Full of wounds – wasn't this self-inflicted suffering?
Feel sympathy for them? Fair enough. They were just unlucky to encounter Chrysanthemum Douluo from Martial Soul Hall, sticking their necks out without any martial skills and still having the audacity to teach others a lesson, thus losing face.
"Alright, since you know your mistake, I'll spare your lives this time."
Chrysanthemum Douluo said outright.
"Thank you, Sir, for your mercy."
The men addressed him gratefully.
The two beaten people didn't dare to stay in the room any longer, limping out the door.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, everyone can continue chatting and return to their seats."
Everything returned to calm.
Soon the shop's business was back in full swing, with many customers coming and going, ordering cups of milk tea.
Chrysanthemum Douluo continued to sit in his chair, thoroughly enjoying the pleasures of afternoon tea.
"Sir, this is a special complimentary dessert from our shop for you to try."
The person appearing before him was a beauty, but compared to Chrysanthemum Douluo, she still fell short in looks.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was truly not inferior in beauty to any woman!
Aside from speaking with a bit of an effeminate tone, everything else about him was quite acceptable.
Only a very few people knew Chrysanthemum Douluo came from Martial Soul Hall.
People without strength didn't dare to give him more than a glance, fearing a return to the beatings they had just witnessed.
"Hmm, thank you."
Chrysanthemum Douluo barely glanced at her, dismissing her with a simple thanks.
Then he got up and headed towards the main door.
He had a mission from Bi Bidong that he had to complete.
He had to join forces with Ye Feng to bring back a hundred-thousand-year soul ring!
To Chrysanthemum Douluo, this task was not too difficult, but it hinged on whether Ye Feng was truly willing to help Martial Soul Hall under the Pope's orders!
"Damn that look of disdain, it's truly irritating to see."
"Sigh, you'd better keep it down. He's from Martial Soul Hall, one of the Pope's personal guards, and there's another called Old Ghost who is quite a formidable character."
"If he hears you, we're finished."
The crowd murmured among themselves.
"Seems like I heard he's from Martial Soul Hall too. Before you guys came in, two men were beaten so badly, they nearly lost their lives."
A man at another table explained to the people at the next table.
Quite the chatterbox when one can't keep one's mouth shut!
"Alright, enough talking; if he comes back, we're all done for."
"I've got to take my wife visiting soon, and I don't want to show up injured – it's too embarrassing."
The others nodded in agreement.
"Hiss—"
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed outside the door.
"Look, there's a light outside!"
At that moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the light outside.
"What's happening outside? Shopkeeper, aren't you going to send someone to check it out?!"
"If there's any danger to us, you'll be fully responsible for the safety of the customers in your shop."
The shopkeeper was full of confusion.
He had always been too busy to observe what was happening outside!
"Rest assured, dear guest, I will send someone to check it out," said the owner directly to him.
With a turn, he walked towards the door and upon opening it, he saw nothing but the usual bustling street with people coming and going.
So, he shook his head; it must be someone playing a prank, trying to scare them.
But for the sake of the business, he had to endure it for now and send someone to investigate later!
Where did that light just now come from?
It appeared right after Chrysanthemum Douluo stepped out of the door, a sneaky attempt to scare the people in the shop!
It was clearly a serious warning to them.
Talking too much would cost someone their life.
On the other hand, what were Ye Feng and the others up to?
"Sizzle—"
Ye Feng was still soaking in the Icefire Polarized Eyes and hadn't come out yet.
It had already been two whole days; could he have died in there?
If he really died inside the Icefire Polarized Eyes, that would be squandering my painstaking efforts!
I absolutely can't let him die on my territory; I need to think of a way to deal with his body cleanly!
"Ye Feng, Ye Feng, are you alright yet?!"
"Two days have passed; could you at least say something? Staying submerged there isn't a solution, and others might even think you're dead," Du Gubo said urgently.
As time ticked away, Ye Feng still hadn't emerged.
This made Du Gubo so anxious that he was stomping his feet.
"Hiss—"
He released his Soul Power.
He decided to use Soul Power to find out once and for all whether Ye Feng was alive or dead.
"Gurgle gurgle, the bubbles are getting bigger."
Du Gubo was puzzled.
It couldn't be that he was seeing things—the bubbles were indeed growing larger, and the person inside hadn't died yet; he was still alive.
Ah, what a pity he wasn't dead!
If it were anyone else, spending over a full day in the Icefire Polarized Eyes would mean certain death, leaving not even bones behind.
"Plop—"
Gradually, Ye Feng's head surfaced.
At that moment, Du Gubo's face showed great surprise.
The one who should die hasn't, and those who shouldn't have perished without a trace!
"Old Peel, you're still alive? I thought you'd never come out again," he said.
"To date, no one else has lasted more than two days in the Icefire Polarized Eyes except for you."
That included Du Gubo himself!
Because he couldn't withstand the immense pressure from the Icefire Polarized Eyes, and with the severe poison in his body not fully healed, he could only refrain from coming into contact with the Icefire Polarized Eyes for now.
"Old Poison, do you really wish for me to die on your territory? Aren't you afraid that I, as a ghost, will not spare the Dugu Family?" Ye Feng said as he slowly climbed from the Icefire Polarized Eyes to sit on the edge of the water.
His arm was intact and successfully reattached.
This left Du Gubo dumbfounded.
"No, that's not it, Old Peel. Is your arm better already? That was incredibly fast—I've never seen an arm reattach so effortlessly before," Du Gubo said, hardly believing his own eyes that Ye Feng's arm was already healed.
Not a thing wrong with it—astonishing, damn!
"Quick, don't change the subject. Do you really hope for me to die and become a ghost of the Dugu Family?" Ye Feng spoke with a serious tone.
After hearing this, Du Gubo realized that he indeed had that thought just moments before.
But now, seeing Ye Feng safe and sound, naturally, he pushed those inner thoughts to the back of his mind, far away!
"I didn't mean it; I was just joking, don't take it seriously, okay?" Du Gubo said with an awkward smile.
Huh—! Intense cold sweats!
