Chapter 142: Chapter 140: The Bizarre Qian Duoduo
"I am Qian Duoduo. What do you say, my beautiful lady?"
The young man, completely unaware of his situation, simply put his feet together, gave a slight bow, and made an inviting gesture toward Niu Kexin with a smile on his face.
He then brought his hands to his chest, wiggling them slightly.
Over twenty exquisite Storage Rings clattered together, CLINK CLANK, emitting a brilliant glow that dazzled the eye.
His expression screamed, "I’m super rich. Wanna go out?"
Mo Qi: "..."
’Bro, isn’t this method of showing off your wealth a little outdated, even for mortals?’
’Isn’t it uncomfortable wearing all those rings?’
’You’re not just an upstart; you’re probably a fool, too!’
Niu Kexin didn’t answer, merely giving Qian Duoduo a look of pity.
Not only did Qian Duoduo fail to grasp her meaning, he actually took her look of pity as a sign of inquiry.
He immediately puffed out his chest and said proudly, "Don’t you worry, beautiful lady. Stick with me, and I guarantee you’ll be able to walk the path of the Martial Dao. And as for your future Cultivation Resources? I’ll cover it all!"
"Don’t ask me why. It’s because I’m rich, and I can do whatever I want!"
As he spoke, Qian Duoduo patted his robes and added, "See this outfit? It’s an Earth-level Defensive Magical Artifact. Anyone below the Vajra Realm can forget about even touching me."
"And that carriage! Pulled by sixteen Second-level Demon Horses, a High Tier Profound-Level ride worth ten thousand gold! If you want it, just come over and give me a kiss, and it’s all yours!"
’Son of a bitch. We give him an inch and he takes a mile, huh?’
’Once wasn’t enough? He dares to hit on the big sis a second time!’
If Mo Qi hadn’t stopped them with a look, Liu Hui and Jin Sanpang would have already attacked.
"In that case, you must have quite a few Spirit Medicines on you?" Mo Qi asked suddenly.
"But of course!" Qian Duoduo was in his element. Showing off his wealth was a family trait, passed down through generations. He couldn’t help it. He was rich, and he was going to flaunt it!
Mo Qi had nothing more to say. He simply waved a hand at Liu Hui and Jin Sanpang.
The two understood his meaning and immediately surrounded the young man.
Qian Duoduo was startled but not afraid.
Even though he was alone and only at the Early-stage Purity Realm, he knew that as long as he revealed his identity, these people wouldn’t dare touch him.
Besides, Mo Qi, Liu Hui, and Jin Sanpang all looked much younger than him, so he had no intention of revealing his identity. After all, how tacky would it be to use his status to intimidate people in front of a beautiful woman?
Overpowering them with martial might was a much better way to catch the beauty’s eye, wasn’t it?
As for Yun Xuzi and Ji Lin, he paid the older-generation experts no mind.
"What, you want to fight? So we’re past talking, are we? Hmph. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. We’re right outside the Imperial City, and by the Empire’s rules, this has to be a duel. One-on-one, and no one is allowed to cheat!"
’What? The Mountain and Sea Empire has a rule like that?’
Mo Qi shot a questioning look at Yun Xuzi. Yun Xuzi just looked confused and shook his head.
’I’ve never heard of any such rule.’
"You, then. Think you’re hot stuff just because you’re tall? Get over here and fight!" Qian Duoduo crooked a finger at Liu Hui.
After a brief, stunned pause, Liu Hui instantly initiated his Dragon Transformation.
After his Cultivation broke through to the Purity Realm, his transformation had changed as well.
His body shot up, towering over ten feet tall. Golden Dragon Scales covered him from head to toe, making him resemble a powerful and dazzling Golden War God descended from the heavens.
"Okay, you’re tall enough! Tall enough! It’s a misunderstanding, I wasn’t talking about you, sir!"
Qian Duoduo frantically waved his hands, his jaw practically on the floor. Even with his background, he had never witnessed such a spectacle.
’Hiding his aura so perfectly is one thing, but he can transform, too?’
A powerful sense of danger told him that even with his Earth-level Defensive Magical Artifact for protection, fighting Liu Hui wouldn’t kill him, but it would be a fate worse than death.
The Qian Family’s ancestral motto said: If you can win, crush them. If you can’t win, pick a different opponent. If you can’t switch, run. If you can’t run away, get on your knees and beg for mercy.
’Even if I have to give up on the girl, I have to finish what I started today!’
Qian Duoduo’s eyes darted about, and the goofy-looking Jin Sanpang entered his line of sight.
’This guy is so fat, he must be completely focused on food and neglect his training. His Cultivation can’t be high. He’s a total pushover, an easy target!’
"Hey, fatty! Yeah, I’m talking to you! You’re as fat as a pig, and I’ve had enough of you! Get over here and fight!"
Liu Hui, who hadn’t planned on letting Qian Duoduo’s "comical" performance continue and had intended to finish him off quickly, stopped and let out a strange laugh when he saw Qian Duoduo single out Jin Sanpang.
THUD! THUD!
Jin Sanpang brought out two hammers the size of small houses and slammed them onto the ground. The earth instantly trembled, and cracks spread across the ground for dozens of feet in every direction.
An aura far exceeding the Purity Realm erupted from Jin Sanpang.
"San Pang is not a pig! You’re a bad guy! San Pang is going to teach you a lesson!"
Qian Duoduo was completely shaken. ’Did I run into a den of monsters today? What the hell are these people?’
’Are those two hammers for real? They must weigh hundreds of thousands of pounds, right?’
’Do you have to be such freaks?!’
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Brother Pang, please wait! I wasn’t talking about you either!" Qian Duoduo waved his hands again, his gaze finally landing on Mo Qi.
Mo Qi, in his weakened state, showed not the slightest fluctuation of Essence Energy. Even his eyes were a bit cloudy. He looked no different from an ordinary mortal.
’Okay, I’ve struck out twice, but not three times. You’ve got to be a normal person, right?’
"Actually, I’ve been talking about you this whole time!"
Qian Duoduo pointed at Mo Qi. "Come on! Do you dare to fight me?"
Jin Sanpang, who had just started to swing his hammers, froze with them in mid-air. Liu Hui stared as if he were looking at a complete idiot.
’Is this guy for real?’
’These people from the Imperial City really know how to play, huh? He keeps picking stronger and stronger opponents.’
Mo Qi gave a dry cough and stepped forward.
He had figured it out by now. This Qian Duoduo fellow must come from an impressive background, but he had zero real-world experience.
He did and said whatever he pleased, the type of person who’d clearly never known a single day of hardship.
His attempts to flirt with Niu Kexin weren’t truly malicious; he just couldn’t control his mouth.
Mo Qi wondered what prominent family this young master had wandered away from.
’But since our paths have crossed, it must be fate. I suppose I have an obligation to teach him just how dangerous the world can be. Let’s consider it a reward for the price he’s about to pay.’
"Are you sure you want to fight me?" Mo Qi asked, sounding drained.
Seeing that Mo Qi didn’t transform like Liu Hui or brandish giant hammers like Jin Sanpang, Qian Duoduo finally relaxed.
He sent out his Divine Sense, scanning Mo Qi from top to bottom, and confirmed that he really was just a mortal.
His confidence bar shot back to full. Qian Clan Show-Off Mode: Activated!
"What, you don’t dare? I’ll even let you have the first punch!"
Mo Qi’s expression was strange.
’If you actually wanted to fight, it would be difficult for me to make a move in my current state.’
’But, if you’re just giving me a free punch... ’
"What are you looking at? I said you can have a free punch. You think you can actually hurt me?" Qian Duoduo deliberately lifted his Earth-level robes, pointing to his stomach. "Hit me right here!"
’Well, I’ve never heard such a strange request before... ’
With a mere thought from Mo Qi, the Obsidian flowed out, writhing as it formed into Arm Armor that enveloped one of his arms.
He raised his hand. He threw a punch.
BOOM!
PFFT—
Qian Duoduo’s confident expression twisted in an instant. He sprayed out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, his body curled up like a shrimp.
It was an agonizing pain, as if all his internal organs were being twisted into a single knot!
