Chapter 143: A Day and Night Well Spent!
“Master... you...” Yang Wei looked at Cangmang approaching with a stunned expression. Covering his cheeks, he couldn’t believe the old man was really going to slap him.
“Don’t be afraid, my apprentice. I’ll go easy on you... Bear with it for a moment, stay calm. We have to endure it as we’re no match for them.” Cangmang said as he forcibly removed Yang Wei’s hand from his face.
“Crack! Slap!”
The slaps landed with no mercy.
“Master, please stop...” Yang Wei choked out, tears streaming down his face from the burning pain.
Cangmang ignored his plea and continued slapping, even harder this time. Yang Wei’s front teeth were knocked out, and he fell unconscious.
“Apprentice, forgive me, I have no choice...” Cangmang muttered to himself as he looked at the unconscious Yang Wei.
“Young Master Jiang, are you satisfied now?” Cangmang took a deep breath, turned to Jiang Che, and asked.
Jiang Che nodded, a bright smile on his face, clearly in a good mood.
“Then can we go?” Cangmang said, pulling up Yang Wei like a dead dog and preparing to leave.
“I’m satisfied, but you can’t go yet.”
“Young Master Jiang, what do you mean? Didn’t you say you’d let us go if you were satisfied?” Cangmang was stunned and looked at Jiang Che angrily. What was going on? He had slapped Yang Wei so many times already.
“I’m satisfied, but I didn’t say when I’d let you go.” Jiang Che shrugged, looking like a rascal.
This made Cangmang furious. He felt like Jiang Che was playing him for a fool.
“You deceiver, prepare to die!” Cangmang’s heart pounded with rage. He hadn’t been so humiliated since he became famous. Asking for peace was one thing, but being mocked was too much.
So many points? Jiang Che was surprised at the generous reward for killing Cangmang.
“Master, what should we do with him?” Uncle Fu asked respectfully, referring to the unconscious Yang Wei lying on the ground.
“Take him back. He still has his uses...” Jiang Che said, taking out a bag of corpse-dissolving powder from the system space and using it on Cangmang’s body.
“Understood, Young Master.” Uncle Fu responded, slinging Yang Wei over his shoulder and following Jiang Che back to the house.
In the living room of Crouching Dragon Villa, Ah Qing stood at the entrance, looking into the distance with a worried expression. She had heard the sounds of fighting earlier and knew her master had gone after the enemy. It had been almost three hours since then. Despite her confidence in Jiang Che’s strength, she couldn’t help but worry.
“Young master, you’re back!” Seeing Jiang Che returning, Ah Qing’s eyes lit up. She ran into his arms.
Feeling Ah Qing’s more charming presence, Jiang Che felt relieved. The more than two months of hard work had paid off as her change was very obvious.
“Young master, are you hurt?” Ah Qing asked, her soft hands searching Jiang Che for injuries.
“Who do you think I am? How could I be hurt? Stop worrying, I’m fine.” Jiang Che said, putting Ah Qing back on the ground. He then asked Uncle Fu to throw Yang Wei onto the floor.
“This is a gift for you.” Before, Jiang Che had taught Ah Qing the Star Devourer Technique. Although Yang Wei had strong cultivation, it was useless to Jiang Che. It was better for Ah Qing to absorb his inner strength.
“This...” Ah Qing looked at Yang Wei, confused, “Master, what use do I have for this guy?”
“What is your current cultivation level?”
“...”
“Use the Star Devourer Technique I taught you to absorb his inner strength, and you can break through to the Innate realm in one go!” Jiang Che said seriously.
Although the Star Devourer Technique was useless for him, it was very beneficial for Ah Qing, who was only at the late stage of Dark Energy. After the system’s improvements, the technique had no side effects.
It was the perfect method for killing and plundering!
