Chapter 301: Fat Youth
When they saw their companion, who had been eating chicken feet, sent flying by the Fat Youth, the rest of the group froze. This was because among them, the person who had just been sent flying was the strongest, having reached the late stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm. Such strength might not be much in the eyes of some genius disciples, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it was already very powerful.
They quickly realized that the Fat Youth sitting there gnawing on chicken feet was definitely not simple; his strength was extraordinary.
"May I ask who you are, esteemed sir? My brother was a bit rude just now, and I hope you can forgive him," a youth in yellow walked out and politely said to the Fat Youth who was gnawing on chicken feet.
The Fat Youth, who was eating chicken feet, ignored him and continued to eat. The yellow-clothed man knew that this was not a place to stay long, so he cupped his fists, apologized, and was about to leave.
The Fat Youth gnawing on chicken feet stopped his movements and then said, "Are you just going to leave like that? If you don’t leave something behind, do you think you can leave?"
These words reached the ears of the yellow-clothed youth who was about to leave. He knew that today he would have to pay a heavy price. His current strength was also in the Celestial Immortal Realm, and even his elder brother had been sent flying by a single punch from the Fat Youth in front of him, so he had no chance of winning at all.
"May I ask what you wish for us to leave behind, esteemed sir?" the yellow-clothed youth asked.
Just as he finished speaking, the Fat Youth extended five fingers. Seeing this gesture, the yellow-clothed youth smiled and said, "Alright, these fifty spirit stones will be our compensation." As the yellow-clothed youth spoke, he directly took out a storage bag from his pocket. Inside were exactly fifty spirit stones, no more, no less.
He held the storage bag and handed it to the Fat Youth, saying, "Here you go. Let’s end today’s matter here."
But the next moment, the Fat Youth shook his head and said, "You’re mistaken. I don’t want fifty spirit stones. I want five hundred spirit stones, and I want them to be mid-grade."
Hearing the Fat Youth’s words, the yellow-clothed youth’s face darkened. He and his elder brother only had a total of five hundred spirit stones, and they had spent some on the way to Bright Moon City.
Regarding what the Fat Youth had just said, his first reaction was that the Fat Youth had misspoken, but he hadn’t expected it to be true.
"Are you perhaps joking, esteemed sir? This doesn’t require so many spirit stones, does it? Even if I gave you everything I have, it wouldn’t be more than a hundred."
Hearing the yellow-clothed youth’s words, the Fat Youth disdainfully said, "You dare to attack me like this? I don’t know where you get your confidence. Of course, if you can’t produce five hundred spirit stones, that’s fine too. The fellow in your group who attacked me, with which arm did he hit me? Then he’ll break that arm. Only then can today’s matter be resolved. Otherwise, don’t even think about leaving here."
The Fat Youth’s words made the yellow-clothed youth feel a bit uncomfortable. He himself was fine, but his elder brother had been sent flying by that strike just now, and he had probably suffered no small injury. If he were to break an arm again, wouldn’t it be even more unbearable?
The yellow-clothed youth organized his thoughts for a moment, then said:
"Esteemed sir, we are from the Three Valleys Sect of Jingzhou City. I hope you will consider our Sect Master and not mind this incident. These are all the spirit stones I have on me." After the yellow-clothed youth finished speaking, he directly pulled out nearly a hundred spirit stones again and handed them to the Fat Youth.
The Fat Youth merely glanced at them and then looked away.
"Not enough. I’ve already said it. I only hope I don’t have to say it a second time. If I say it a second time, then you’re looking for trouble. You should be clear about the consequences."
The Fat Youth’s words reached the yellow-clothed youth’s ears, and he already knew that the Fat Youth would not change his mind so quickly. Finally, he glanced at where his elder brother had fallen and said, "Alright then, I’ll gather five hundred spirit stones for you. This time, we admit defeat."
The Fat Youth remained silent. The yellow-clothed youth walked towards where his elder brother had fallen. He knew that in the hands of a youth with such strength, his two brothers would not be able to escape, and his elder brother was often impulsive in his actions. This time would serve as a lesson for him.
After the yellow-clothed youth helped his elder brother up, he explained the specific situation.
And the person who had just been sent flying still looked at the Fat Youth with lingering fear. Compared to the spirit stones on him, his arm was more important. Although an arm could recover after being broken, it would require many rare elixirs, and his recovery period would not be less than ten years. Finally, he decided to follow what the Fat Youth said. He took out the only three hundred-plus spirit stones he had, which, together with the yellow-clothed youth’s, amounted to exactly five hundred.
"Esteemed sir, this adds up to exactly five hundred mid-grade spirit stones. Do you think this is enough? Can my brother and I leave?" the yellow-clothed youth asked. Hearing the yellow-clothed youth’s words, the Fat Youth nodded and said, "This is quite sensible. Get out of here. It’s best if I don’t see you again next time. Otherwise, it will be even more than this time." After the Fat Youth finished speaking, he continued to pick up a chicken leg from the table and gnaw on it.
The people in the tavern who were watching the show saw that it had dispersed like this and wisely went about their own business.
Wang Yufan, sitting by the window, saw all of this, but he said nothing. However, when the Fat Youth left, he gave ten high-grade spirit stones to the tavern owner as compensation for the damaged tables and chairs.
"This Fat Youth seems to have quite a style in his actions, decisive," Wang Yufan muttered to himself. "He looks a bit heavy, but his movements are good."
As he muttered to himself, he saw that after the Fat Youth left, another table began to discuss.
"Oh my god, do you know who that Fat Youth was just now? He’s Duan Han, the genius of the Beiyang Sect. Don’t let the name ’Han’ (silly - meaning simple or foolish) fool you, but it is said that this Fat Youth’s talent is also extraordinary, and his strength is not foolish at all. You all saw just now that even a Celestial Immortal Realm expert couldn’t gain an advantage against him. His strength might have reached the Life and Death Realm or even higher, but these are all just rumors."
Hearing this person’s words, the person sitting next to him said, "Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. I think it’s very likely to be true."
The people around nodded, feeling that it made a lot of sense.
Wang Yufan also nodded, muttering in his heart, "So this Fat Youth has such a background. No wonder he acts like this in Bright Moon City, and the city’s defenses don’t even react at all."
