Chapter 570: The Thousand-Life Immortal
"Fifty thousand, that's not a small amount, Madam Boss. I've looked into your background." The big man gave a hehe laugh: "You're an outsider, you've made quite a bit of money over these years. Take a few tens of thousands and go develop elsewhere. Eighty thousand, if I gave it to you, would you even have the Life to spend it?"
"What do you mean?" Zhou Nan was startled; this big man was already making threats.
"Don't you understand what my big brother means? Do you know what kind of figure my big brother is? He has recognized a Great Immortal as his godparent. If he wants your Life, you won't even know how you died." A lackey behind the big man said viciously.
"You all should go, don't force me to call the police." Zhou Nan shook her head, not wanting to pay attention to these people.
"Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit." The big man was enraged; he stretched out his hand, ready to make a move.
Chen Yu, who was eating, suddenly flickered and appeared right in front of the big man, reaching out to grab the big man's hand.
"Lifting a hand against a woman, isn't that inappropriate?" Chen Yu said indifferently.
"Kid, you want to meddle in other people's business? Your skin is itching, isn't it?" The big man was furious: "Go out and ask around, who I, Niu Qing, am."
Before his voice had even faded, with a 'slap' sound, a slap was swung onto his face.
The big man fell to the ground with a 'thump'. He couldn't help but be enraged, scrambled up, and roared: "You dare hit me, I..."
Before he could finish his harsh words, another 'slap' sound rang out as a slap was swung onto him. Thump, this guy fell straight to the ground again.
After a dozen slaps in a row, this guy finally didn't dare to retort. He lay on the ground, panting heavily.
The few lackeys behind him saw this scene and were so scared that they all stood there blankly, not daring to step forward.
"Kid, you've got guts. You, you give me some time." Niu Qing was furious.
"Fine, I'll give you some time. I want to see what kind of tricks you can pull." Chen Yu took a step back and watched Niu Qing with interest.
Niu Qing scrambled up from the ground abruptly. Gritting his teeth, he pulled a pipe out of his pocket.
The pipe was black in color and looked like it had some age to it. Niu Qing took out a bit of tobacco, put it into the pipe, then lit it with a lighter and took a few puffs.
"Kid, wait for your death. My big brother is the godson of Qianshou Xian, and he has a magic treasure from Qianshou Xian protecting him." A lackey saw the pipe rise with a wisp of green smoke and immediately became arrogant again.
As they spoke, Niu Qing had already taken a few hard puffs from the pipe. He suddenly opened his mouth and spat a mouthful of green smoke at Chen Yu.
With a 'whoosh', that mouthful of green smoke suddenly expanded, and there was a faint, pungent smell within the green smoke. The moment the green smoke hit his face, Chen Yu immediately understood: this was Demon Smoke. That so-called Qianshou Xian must be some creature that had successfully cultivated.
The pipe in this guy's hand had a wisp of Qianshou Xian's Demon Power attached to it, which was the reason he was so arrogant.
Unfortunately, this little trick meant nothing to Chen Yu. That so-called Qianshou Xian could ride the clouds and mist, which was indeed formidable to ordinary people.
But to Chen Yu, this guy was at best just a bit more difficult to deal with.
If its true form came, Chen Yu reckoned he would suffer a bit, but a pipe with only a wisp of Demon Power attached to it could do absolutely nothing to Chen Yu.
A mouthful of green smoke was sprayed out. Seeing Chen Yu standing perfectly still, Niu Qing immediately grinned hideously: "Kid, meddling in other people's business, let's see if you dare to be arrogant again this time."
"Big brother is mighty! This kid, daring to go against big brother, he must be tired of living." The lackeys then beamed with joy and surrounded them.
Chen Yu was standing on the spot, not moving at all; they just assumed Chen Yu had been caught in the trap.
This pipe was a gift to Niu Qing from that Qianshou Xian; it was extremely powerful. As long as one puffed the smoke, the target of the technique would be caught.
Now, Chen Yu must have been caught and fallen into an illusion.
"Chen Yu, what's wrong with you, Chen Yu?" Zhou Nan was anxious. Although she knew Chen Yu had some abilities beyond the reach of ordinary people, seeing Chen Yu standing there motionless, she was also quite worried.
"Hahaha, Madam Boss, it's useless no matter how much you call." Niu Qing said triumphantly: "Today, this shop, you have to transfer it for fifty thousand, whether you want to or not."
"You all let him go quickly, otherwise I'll call the police immediately." Zhou Nan was anxious, but facing this group of big men, she had no way to deal with them.
"Haha, let him go? Are you kidding me? Madam Boss looks pretty good." Niu Qing stared at Zhou Nan with an evil smile: "Tsk tsk, such a beautiful woman, better to benefit me than someone else."
"What do you want to do?" Zhou Nan was startled and hurriedly retreated.
"What do I want to do? What can a man and a woman do when they are together? What do you think?" Niu Qing laughed loudly and reached out his hand, ready to touch Zhou Nan's face.
Suddenly, Chen Yu moved. With a 'crack', followed by a flash of blood.
Niu Qing screamed, looking at Chen Yu in disbelief. The hand he had reached toward Zhou Nan was already broken, and two fingers had fallen to the ground.
"How could you move? Didn't you fall into the illusion? How is this possible?" Niu Qing screamed. Having lost two fingers, he was terrified.
"Qianshou Xian, is it just a creature that has just cultivated into form?" Chen Yu smiled: "If its true form came, with my current strength, I would definitely suffer. But you want to subdue me with a bit of bewitching smoke attached with Demon Power? Aren't you thinking too much?"
"My godmother won't let you off, she definitely won't let you off." Niu Qing stared fixedly at Chen Yu. Having lost two fingers, he wished he could pull out Chen Yu's tendons and peel Chen Yu's skin.
"If Qianshou Xian has the guts, have her come find me directly. I'd like to see if, with her level of cultivation, she dares to stray too far from her own lair." Chen Yu sneered.
This kind of creature that has cultivated into form is indeed formidable, but judging by the Demon Power attached to the pipe, this guy should have only just taken human form not long ago.
It's equivalent to a cicada that has just shed its shell, vulnerable to a single blow. If the other party really came looking for trouble now, Chen Yu would truly make sure she never returned.
"You, you..." Niu Qing's face turned pale. He looked at Chen Yu, trembling, and didn't dare to say another word.
"So, are you going to transfer this or not?" Chen Yu stared at Niu Qing.
"Not transferring, you all wait for your deaths." Niu Qing's face turned iron-blue.
"Not transferring? Hehe, then I'm sorry, it's too late now. Eighty thousand, if you're short by even a cent, I'll break one of your legs." Chen Yu said coldly: "Don't tell me you don't have it. If you don't have it, leave your Life here today."
"You, aren't you being unreasonable?" Niu Qing's tone weakened; he had never seen a person like Chen Yu.
"That's right, I am being unreasonable." Chen Yu grinned: "I'll give you a chance: either leave your Life behind, or transfer this shop at the normal price. Choose one of the two."
"This..." Niu Qing hesitated. Today, he truly experienced what it meant to be riding a tiger and unable to get off.
