Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Who Gave You the Secret Recipe_1
Having finished, Linghu Xiang was shocked.
He looked at Qin Feng as if he had seen a ghost!
He simply couldn’t believe that Qin Feng had exchanged blows with him twice, yet had not suffered a single injury.
How is that possible?
This was an impossible feat!
"You actually aren’t injured?" Linghu Xiang exclaimed in disbelief.
"With those punches softer than a woman’s, why should I be injured?"
These words undoubtedly deeply wounded Linghu Xiang’s pride.
"You dare to say my fist is as soft as a woman’s? Then I will let you properly feel what it means to be hard."
Linghu Xiang extended his hand and shouted at his disciple, "Bring me the Almighty Golden Whip!"
A disciple presented a golden whip that was shimmering resplendently, handing it over to Linghu Xiang.
The edges of the whip were lined with many round balls, all of which were covered in spikes, resembling a cluster of cacti.
The spines glinted with golden light, looking extremely sharp.
If someone were to be pricked by them, it would certainly result in a wound so agonizingly painful.
Qin Feng stared at the small thorns on the Almighty Golden Whip for a moment.
At this glance, he took a sharp intake of breath.
Because those small thorns were all coated with potent poison.
If you can’t win honestly, you play dirty.
This Linghu Xiang was truly despicable!
After taking the Almighty Golden Whip, Linghu Xiang swirled it around twice.
Whoosh whoosh!
The Almighty Golden Whip cut through the air, creating a piercing sonic boom.
"Your Almighty Golden Whip seems to be poisoned?" Qin Feng asked.
"Where’s the poison?
My Almighty Golden Whip is just a normal weapon, how could it be poisoned?
If you’re scared, you can kneel and surrender right now. I can spare your life!
Otherwise, once I unleash my Almighty Golden Whip, it will ensure you scurry around in total humiliation, writhing on the ground in pain!"
Of course, Linghu Xiang wouldn’t admit that his Almighty Golden Whip was poisoned; if he did, wouldn’t that be tantamount to admitting he was fighting dirty?
Because he hadn’t gained any advantage from their previous exchange.
This time, Linghu Xiang naturally wouldn’t talk about martial ethics anymore.
Without waiting for Qin Feng to get ready, he lashed out with his whip.
"Snap!"
The Almighty Golden Whip struck like a bolt of lightning, aiming straight for Qin Feng’s face.
If hit, Qin Feng would at the very least suffer some disfigurement.
Facing the incoming Almighty Golden Whip, Qin Feng didn’t dodge but instead reached out and firmly caught it.
This move left Linghu Xiang completely dumbfounded.
He dare to catch the Almighty Golden Whip with his bare hands?
Most crucially, after catching it, Qin Feng’s hand was completely unharmed.
Instead, he had flattened all the little spikes on the Almighty Golden Whip.
Were this young man’s palms that tough?
Qin Feng yanked violently, pulling the Almighty Golden Whip into his own possession.
Then, he began to wield it.
"Snap!"
"Snap!"
"Snap!"
...
The Almighty Golden Whip lashed out at Linghu Xiang, strike after strike.
Seeing the golden whip come his way, Linghu Xiang hurriedly began to dance on the spot.
Although his dancing was graceful, appearing somewhat flirtatious, he was still unable to dodge the blows that Qin Feng was delivering with the whip.
After a few lashes, Linghu Xiang immediately rolled on the ground in agony.
"Ouch!"
"Ow, ow!"
"It hurts like hell!"
"Stop hitting me!"
...
While rolling on the ground, Linghu Xiang was begging for mercy.
Qin Feng stopped and turned to look at Huang Pingliang.
"Mr. Huang, are you still considering joining in? If you don’t have anyone else to back you up, go over there and lie down!"
"Lie down, what are you planning to do?"
"This Almighty Golden Whip has a nice feel to it. I’ll let you off this time with a couple of whacks on the butt."
"You... you are trying to humiliate me?"
Huang Pingliang felt an immense humiliation.
In front of a crowd, to be whipped on the buttocks by a man.
It was an unbearable disgrace, one he absolutely couldn’t accept!
"Yes! I am humiliating you! Do you have a problem with that? Even if you do, you’ll still have to lie down for me!"
After speaking, Qin Feng lashed out with his whip.
"Smack!"
It struck Huang Pingliang’s buttocks.
The little barbs penetrated the flesh, and the released venom brought unbearable, searing pain.
Immediately, Huang Pingliang screamed in agony, wailing "Ouch, ouch!"
"Stay down!"
Qin Feng barked an order.
After receiving a whipping, where would Huang Pingliang dare to talk back?
Of course, he was so scared that his body shivered, and he promptly lay flat on the ground.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
...
Qin Feng lashed out several more times, leaving Huang Pingliang’s buttocks flayed open.
"I’ll spare you this time but, if you dare to do it again, it won’t be so easy!"
Qin Feng tossed aside the Almighty Golden Whip and rode off on a shared bicycle with Xue Xiaochan in tow.
After turning a corner, Xue Xiaochan suddenly hit Qin Feng.
Qin Feng, completely bewildered, asked, "Why did you hit me?"
"You’re a real pervert!"
"How am I a pervert?"
"Whipping Huang Pingliang’s butt and you’re not a pervert."
"How about I give yours a whipping too?"
"Get lost! You’re indecent! If you dare, I’ll skin you alive!"
Xue Xiaochan threatened him fiercely.
Elsewhere.
After leaving the Greenland Restaurant, Yu Keqing called Xiao Manlian.
Upon learning that Xiao Manlian was still busy in the office, she headed straight back to the company.
If the secret formula for White Cream wasn’t given by Qin Feng, then who provided it?
And Ren’antang, if it wasn’t recommended by Qin Feng, then who did?
All these questions, Yu Keqing had to clarify.
The Huanmei Group had staked everything on White Cream.
If White Cream failed, Huanmei Group would be finished.
Yu Keqing couldn’t be careless; she had to understand everything about White Cream.
In the office.
Wearing an OL suit, Xiao Manlian was conducting experiments.
Even though the secret formula for White Cream was ready to use and Qiao Wenshou had already told her about the specific proportions.
But Xiao Manlian, as the R&D Director, didn’t like to be a mere tool person; she wanted to create new products on her own.
Xiao Manlian believed that there must be a better formula for White Cream.
So, on the basis of the formula provided by Qiao Wenshou, she conducted many experiments by adjusting the proportions and so on.
Regrettably, after several days of hard work,
The result still pointed to Qiao Wenshou’s provided formula as being the most superior.
Yu Keqing entered.
"Director Xiao, still busy?"
"Mrs. Yu, hello! Did you come back to the company especially to see me? Is there something you needed?"
Yu Keqing didn’t bother beating around the bush and asked directly, "The secret formula for White Cream, who gave it to you?"
"Uh... it was given to me by an expert,"
Xiao Manlian hesitated and did not provide a direct answer, evasively replying with this ambiguous statement.
Yu Keqing was not going to let her off so easily, and she pressed, "An expert? Which expert?"
"That expert didn’t allow me to say."
Xiao Manlian’s jaw was clenched tight, which surprised Yu Keqing.
After all, although their work relationship was that of superior and subordinate, in private, they were best friends!
Best friends who talked about everything!
Yet Xiao Manlian was actually keeping the secret of the formula from her?
This was something Yu Keqing couldn’t comprehend!
