The two underlings were also from the same village.
One was named Li Changshun, and the other Liu Dagang.
Both of them charged forward, with fierce looks on their faces.
They had not been kind to the Liu Family brothers in the past either.
When Liu Zheng went away to school, Wu Min had often been cornered and harassed by them.
Fortunately, the folks in the village looked out for each other, so she hadn't been harmed too much.
But.
Today was different.
Because of the debt issue, Liu Kai had brought the two of them to the door.
Upon hearing Liu Kai's orders, the two men rushed forward, and their punches and kicks flew straight toward Liu Zheng.
How could a bookish person like him be a match for them?
Bullying a scholar made them feel even more proud.
Whoosh!
A punch came flying toward him.
Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and the punch landed squarely on his chest.
Swish!
A kick flew straight at Liu Zheng's thigh, forcing him to stagger back half a step.
"Eh? Why doesn't it hurt that much?"
Liu Zheng was taken aback. He had thought that being punched and kicked would be very painful, but for some reason, a warm current flowed through his body. As it circulated at the point of impact, it left him without a trace of pain.
"How come these guys are moving so slowly?"
After being punched and kicked, Liu Zheng rubbed his nose, belatedly realizing something.
"What are you spacing out for? After receiving my legacy, to be beaten by ordinary people, have you got water on the brain?"
Suddenly.
A voice, clear and crisp, rang out in Liu Zheng's mind.
"Damn! Who's that? Who's talking?"
Liu Zheng was startled and took a step back, looking around in bewilderment.
"Shut up, I'm your master. Hurry up and swat these two flies for me."
The clear, arrogant female voice commanded, leaving Liu Zheng completely flustered.
"Damn it! Could it be that the dream I had was real? I have a fairy sister as my master?"
Liu Zheng had a sudden realization, recalling the incident of passing out in the mountains for a whole day and night.
The fairy sister in the dream was so breathtakingly beautiful that one glance could send one's soul into turmoil.
Since waking up, Liu Zheng couldn't stop replaying the scene in his head.
But he had never expected it to be real!
"Come on! Keep hitting him! Haven't you two eaten?"
Seeing that the two underlings had punched and kicked Liu Zheng, making him retreat a couple of steps yet appearing unharmed,
it wasn't that Li Changshun and Liu Dagang didn't want to continue the attack; it was because their earlier strikes felt as though they had hit a stone wall.
Their fists and feet were throbbing with pain.
The two men exchanged a look, gritted their teeth, and charged toward Liu Zheng once again.
This time, they aimed their attacks at the vulnerable parts of the human body.
Seeing the two rushing at him again, Liu Zheng raised an eyebrow.
Now that he knew the dream from a few days ago was real,
and the fairy sister was real,
and so was the legacy she had bestowed upon him,
he suddenly felt emboldened.
With a flick of his tongue against his lower jaw, he immediately felt a surge of inner energy rapidly circulating within his body.
Especially at that moment, as he watched Li Changshun and the other man's movements, they seemed to be in slow motion.
"Huff huff…"
Since the opponent was very slow, Liu Zheng decided not to hold back any longer.
His body flickered forward, he felt that his speed was very slow, yet to the onlookers, it seemed as though his body had disappeared in an instant.
"Bang bang…"
Two punches were thrown, one smashed into Li Changshun's face, while the other hit Liu Dagang's chin.
"Ahh ahh…"
Two screams followed, as one man was thrown to the left and the other toppled backward onto the ground.
Both men lay on the ground, groaning, unable to get up for a good while.
"My mother…"
Liu Kai had been watching from the side, and his pupils shrank when he saw his two subordinates beaten to a pulp, unable to rise.
He wasn't stupid, knowing that if he stepped forward, he would be giving himself away for nothing.
"Liu Zheng, you, you dare to hit someone?"
Pointing at Liu Zheng, Liu Kai didn't make a move, instead he began to reason.
"Let me tell you, your family owes me fifty thousand yuan, and the deadline's almost here. If you don't have the money in three days, either hand over this house as payment or let your sister-in-law come with me to work off the debt by receiving guests."
While saying this, he quickly ran to the door of the house.
Feeling that his position by the door made it easier to escape, he suddenly felt emboldened.
"You can fight, so what if you can? To hell with it, killing you would be no different from squashing an ant."
Watching the other party ramble on and on.
Liu Zheng rubbed his fists and gestured towards Liu Kai.
This scared Liu Kai so much that he immediately backed away, retreating from the doorway to the outside.
"You, you don't come any closer!"
"The deadline isn't for another three days, and you're already here harassing my sister-in-law. Do you want to die?"
"What? Not planning on repaying the debt?"
"Nonsense! Our Liu family has never been one to default on a debt; when these three days are up, I'll not only give you the principal but also a thousand yuan interest."
Taking a step forward, he stood at the doorstep, staring sharply at Liu Kai.
"However, if you dare to come here again within these three days to harass my sister-in-law, I swear I'll skin you alive."
Liu Zheng roared, pointing at the gate, and shouted, "Get lost, get the hell out right now."
At Liu Zheng's roar, Liu Kai shuddered all over.
"Damn it! You're gonna pay for this, just you wait. If you can't pay in three days, I'll do Wu Min right in front of you."
He shouted with false bravado, then again yelled at his subordinates, "Fuck, stop playing dead, hurry up and go, go!"
After speaking, he was the first to turn and flee from the Liu family's courtyard.
Li Changshun and Liu Dagang, even though they were in great pain, were still not completely incapacitated.
Hearing Liu Kai's command, they quickly scrambled up from the ground, and fled in a most undignified manner following Liu Kai.
Watching the two flee in disgrace, Liu Zheng laughed to himself.
Then.
He looked at his hands and suddenly let out an exhilarated shout.
"Oh my gracious! I've got the golden touch now, hahaha…"
He was a bit carried away, completely forgetting about Wu Min's presence beside him.
"Xiao Zheng, what's the matter with you?"
Wu Min was suddenly worried by Liu Zheng's seeming madness.
Hearing his sister-in-law's voice, Liu Zheng quickly turned to look at her.
Seeing her concerned face, he felt a bit embarrassed.
"No, it's nothing, I just feel like I've become really good at fighting, and it made me happy."
He had received the inheritance from the fairy sister, something he couldn't share with anyone.
Such a thing had to be kept secret within himself.
Even if told to family, it couldn't guarantee that outsiders wouldn't find out.
He understood the principle that bearing valuables brings danger.
