Medical and Martial God

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Facing Heaven Peppers

Ming Yue was overjoyed; this was exactly the effect she was after. Of course, her ultimate goal was to frame Ye Xiu, provoking an infuriated Huang Quan to cut Ye Xiu down with a single blow.

At that moment, everyone saw the counterfeit Huang Quan approaching Ye Xiu. The torrent of curses came to an abrupt stop. Everyone grew excited, considering it an honor to witness Huang Quan swing the Butcher’s Knife in person.

”Little guy, why did you launch a sneak attack on me? Don’t you know that attacking me means death?” the counterfeit Huang Quan asked with a cold expression as he walked up to Ye Xiu.

Hearing this, Qing Luan, who was in the crowd, almost burst out laughing. A fake Huang Quan intimidating the real one? That was simply courting death.

”I just wanted to see if you dared to kill someone in public,” Ye Xiu said with a smile.

These words made Ming Yue pause. She had assumed Ye Xiu would deny attacking Huang Quan, or perhaps even tell Huang Quan that she was the one who did it. She never expected Ye Xiu to say something like this.

”Do I dare?” The counterfeit Huang Quan let out a cold laugh. ”In this whole wide world, there is nothing that I, Huang Quan, do not dare to do.”

His words were powerful and domineering, stirring a fiery passion in the crowd.

”Then wipe your ass with hot peppers in public for me to see,” Ye Xiu said.

The counterfeit Huang Quan was speechless.

”What’s wrong? Don’t you dare?” Ye Xiu asked with a smile. ”Didn’t you say there’s nothing you wouldn’t dare to do?”

The counterfeit Huang Quan remained silent.

Ming Yue and the surrounding crowd were completely stunned. Ye Xiu actually dared to defy Huang Quan in public and was even making a fool of him. Is he tired of living?

Her face a mask of indignation, Ming Yue instigated, ”Huang Quan, he dares to make a fool of you in public! This is intolerable! You must kill him now.”

”Kill him!”

”Huang Quan, cut him down with your Battle Soul Blade!”

”Anyone who dares to make a fool of Huang Quan must die!”

The crowd began to shout, inciting the fake Huang Quan to kill Ye Xiu.

”Come on, my neck is right here. Why don’t you take a swing?” Ye Xiu continued to provoke him.

The counterfeit Huang Quan felt incredibly awkward. He suddenly felt like he was riding a tiger, unable to dismount. Seeing the smile on Ye Xiu’s face sent a chill down his spine. This kid clearly isn’t afraid of me! He must have some powerful backing!

The imposter dared not act rashly, so he patted Ye Xiu on the shoulder and said, ”Kid, you’re lucky. If this were in the past, you’d be a corpse by now. But since I’ve said that I’ve already washed my hands of that life and retired, I will definitely not kill again.”

Hearing this, Ming Yue grew anxious. ”You’re just going to let him get away with this?”

”I am the King of War Gods. How could I stoop to the level of a mere child?” the counterfeit Huang Quan rebuked.

Ye Xiu felt a wave of disappointment. He had been prepared to make the imposter embarrass himself in public, but unexpectedly, the guy hadn’t taken the bait. What a waste of my emotions!

Ming Yue was so angry she nearly slapped the fake Huang Quan. She had risked being killed by Ye Xiu to ambush the imposter, all in the hopes of using him to eliminate Ye Xiu. Now that the counterfeit Huang Quan hadn’t fallen for it, she was the one in danger.

The onlookers, however, grew even more respectful of Huang Quan.

”The great don’t dwell on the insignificant. Huang Quan’s magnanimity is truly beyond my reach.”

”They say a Prime Minister’s belly is big enough to float a boat, but Huang Quan’s is big enough for an aircraft carrier.”

”Kid, you should hurry up and thank Huang Quan for sparing your life.”

”What a stroke of dumb luck. To run into Huang Quan right after he retired... this kid’s fortune is something else.”

While the crowd praised the fake Huang Quan’s magnanimity and marveled at Ye Xiu’s luck, the imposter had already begun signing autographs for his ”fans.”

Ye Xiu couldn’t stand to watch any longer. This guy actually carried a pen for autographs; he had none of Huang Quan’s mysterious, dashing, and cold temperament. He was simply tarnishing Huang Quan’s name.

However, Ye Xiu didn’t pay it much mind. He smiled, turned to Ming Yue, and asked, ”How does disappointment feel?”

”You... you’re not thinking of killing me right now, are you?” Ming Yue asked, her face etched with fear.

”Why would I do that?” Ye Xiu touched Ming Yue’s face and said, ”I have an idea for you. Go seduce Huang Quan. Maybe if you spend a few nights with him, he’ll agree to help you kill me.”

With that, he disappeared into the packed crowd.

Ming Yue, however, was already mulling over Ye Xiu’s words. In truth, she had been prepared for this all along. As long as Huang Quan could kill Ye Xiu, she was willing to become his woman.

Meanwhile, Qin Qing was at home, anxiously waiting for good news from Ye Xiu. In her view, Ye Xiu had to establish some kind of friendship with Huang Quan to stand fearless against the Blood Demon.

”Chloe, do you think Huang Quan will even give Ye Xiu the time of day?” Qin Qing couldn’t help but ask.

”That Huang Quan is an imposter,” Chloe stated.

Qin Qing was stunned. ”How do you know? Do you know Huang Quan?”

”COUGH, COUGH...” Realizing her slip of the tongue, Chloe quickly recovered. ”As far as I know, Huang Quan is extremely low-key. Even if he were to retire, he wouldn’t make a big show of telling the world his whereabouts. Therefore, I’m certain that Huang Quan is a fake.”

”That’s just your analysis and speculation. It doesn’t necessarily reflect what Huang Quan would think,” Qin Qing said, as frantic as an ant on a hot pan. ”Right now, Ye Xiu can only rely on Huang Quan to deter the Blood Demon. If Huang Quan ignores Ye Xiu, he’ll be in grave danger once the Blood Demon makes a move.”

”Young Madam, please rest assured. The Blood Demon is no match for the Young Master,” Chloe said.

”You don’t know how strong the Blood Demon is. How could you possibly know if Ye Xiu is a match for him?” Qin Qing assumed Chloe was just saying that to comfort her.

Chloe didn’t know how to reassure Qin Qing any longer. Without Ye Xiu’s permission, she couldn’t reveal Huang Quan’s true identity, and no matter what she said now, Qin Qing wouldn’t believe her.

Just then, Qin Qing’s phone began to ring.

Qin Qing snatched up her phone, but upon seeing the caller ID, her disappointment was absolute. It was a call from Luo Qiwei.

”Qin Qing, do you have time right now?”

”I’m at home, and I’m very busy,” Qin Qing replied impatiently.

”I see. In that case, could you give me your address? I’ve never paid a visit to your home before.”

Qin Qing nearly cursed out loud. I already said I was busy, so how can he have the nerve to invite himself over for a visit?

Angry as she was, he was still a friend, so Qin Qing sent her location to Luo Qiwei in the end.

On the other end, when Luo Qiwei received the location from Qin Qing and followed the GPS to Tu Mountain Manor, he was stunned. Has the Qin Corporation been doing that well these past few years? The Qin Family can actually afford a house in Tu Mountain Manor!

In that moment, Luo Qiwei’s mind started scheming. From his perspective, the better the Qin Family was doing and the wealthier they became, the more he stood to gain. Once he married Qin Qing, everything that belonged to the Qin Family would be his.

He drove up to the house. Putting on the air of someone who frequently visited lavish estates, Luo Qiwei smiled as Qin Qing came out to greet him.

”Qin Qing, are you home alone? Where are your parents?”

”They don’t live here,” Qin Qing said icily. ”Please come in, Mr. Luo.”
