Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 787 - 761: You Can Deceive Me, But You Can’t Bully Me
Chapter 787: Chapter 761: You Can Deceive Me, But You Can’t Bully Me
"Left Hook, Right Hook, Raising Sun Kick, Shoulder Throw, nice, they are all down, we won!" Tang Guo’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she watched Tangyu fight.
These small fries were naturally no match for Tangyu whatsoever. It only took him a few breaths to knock them all to the ground, where they lay moaning in pain, unable to get up. Tangyu had been relatively merciful, as he didn’t deliver a crushing defeat to them.
Witnessing this scene, everyone was shocked. One person took on more than a dozen and had them all sprawled out so quickly. How could someone be so powerful in a fight?
Who exactly is this guy?
Those who had some ideas before now completely abandoned those thoughts. Provoking this young man would clearly be a death wish. Just the strength he had shown was intimidating enough.
Even the shop owner was dumbstruck, completely flabbergasted. Although he wasn’t a gangster, he often dealt with them and had also trained himself to some degree. His four assistants were each top-notch. Plus, those ruffians were all notoriously fierce fighters, unafraid to fight and kill.
But such a formidable lineup had failed to deal with that guy. It was not even a case of dealing with him - they hadn’t even grazed his clothes, and before he even realized what was happening, they were all lying on the ground.
If he hadn’t witnessed these events with his own eyes, he would have thought it was a staged play - could it be any more fake?
Watching Tangyu approach him step by step, the shop owner felt panicked but still mustered the courage to say through gritted teeth, "Kid, you’re tough. I admit defeat in today’s matter."
"Slap!"
The response was a loud slap across his face as Tangyu stepped up to the shop owner, looking at him with a faint smile, "Just by admitting defeat, you think you’re high and mighty? You think by doing so, I’ll just take my stuff and leave? Do you always have to be so self-righteous? Who the hell do you think you are?"
His face stinging fiercely, the shop owner’s expression turned extremely ugly. Being slapped in public was something he found unbearable, his dignity thoroughly trampled upon.
However, at this moment, all he could do was suppress his anger, spit out some saliva, and glare at Tangyu malevolently, "Then what do you wan?"
"May I hit you?" Tangyu asked very seriously.
"..."
After speaking, Tangyu shook his head, "Forget it, hitting you would really dirty my hands, and with your thick skin, it even makes my hand hurt a bit. It’s too much of a loss for me."
The shop owner felt like banging his head against the wall. How could someone insult another person like this?
"Slap—" But before the shop owner could ponder further, he felt a heavy palm fiercely slapped across his face again, causing stars to burst in front of his eyes and an intense burning sensation, with blood rushing to his head.
Now the shop owner genuinely wanted to kill. You liar, didn’t you say you wouldn’t hit me anymore? Why are you hitting me again?
And if you’re going to hit, why hit the face?
Now he was enraged!
Looking at the shop owner, Tangyu curled his lip in feigned apology, "Ah, sorry about that, I just couldn’t help myself. My hand was a bit itchy, and I just had to scratch it on your face. You don’t mind, right?"
"Pfft—" Tang Guo burst out laughing heartily. This was too hilarious and satisfying.
Seeing how Tangyu dealt with the situation made the bystanders feel a tingle in their scalps. Who tortures people like this?
"No reply is the best reply. I knew you wouldn’t mind. Under the influence of my righteousness, you must realize what you did wrong. You’re regretting your mistakes right now, aren’t you?" Tangyu said.
Regret, regret my ass!
The shop owner bit his teeth so hard he nearly spat blood, "You bastard, uh—"
But before he could finish his sentence, it was forced back down his throat. The shop owner’s stomach was brutally kicked by Tangyu, making him feel as if his intestines had burst. He clutched at his belly and crouched down, vomiting, as if his stomach had been kicked open.
Looking down at the shop owner, Tangyu’s face showed a hint of displeasure, "You can cheat me, but you can’t bully me. I can forgive you for cheating me, and at most, I would have just laughed it off, considering you a fool. But you cannot bully me, because that is looking down on me, an affront to my dignity. Didn’t you see I was with two beautiful ladies? And in such a situation, you still came to bully me. What kind of behavior is that?"
"That’s an immoral act, trying to embarrass me in front of the ladies."
"Faced with such behavior, all I can give you is a severe retaliation. People die for wealth, as birds die for food, I understand that, but you shouldn’t have targeted me. You are underestimating me."
"To boldly snatch what you desire, do you think you have the power to do so?"
"So now, do you have anything you want to say?"
The shop owner clenched his teeth, nearly bursting with rage.
Tangyu shook his head, "Discussing these principles with you is pointless; you wouldn’t understand anyway. Rotten wood cannot be carved, I can’t be bothered to talk nonsense with you anymore. Just remember, don’t ever have such thoughts again, or if I catch you, your end will be miserable."
With that, Tangyu casually picked up a bag, packed the jade inside, then slung it over his shoulder. Giving Xinyue and Tang Guo a signal with his eyes, the two walked away under the strange gazes of the crowd.
Once they were out of the Gambling Stone Workshop, Tang Guo couldn’t hold back her laughter and burst out laughing, "Haha, Tangyu, you’re too much. The things you said are enough to make others vomit blood. You really have a way with words."
Tangyu pursed his lips and responded, "I’m not good with words, I’m just speaking the truth, reasoning with them. I call this ’convincing others with virtue.’ You know I’m not one for brute force; I always like to reason with people. Don’t you think I’m too kind and easy to talk to?"
"..."
Tang Guo rolled her eyes at Tangyu with annoyance. If he was considered easy to talk to, then would there be anyone in the world who’s hard to talk to?
He beat someone to that extent and still said he disliked using brute force?
Is this what they call winning people over with virtue? Is this really the correct understanding of the term?
As for Tangyu’s thick skin, Tang Guo had grown accustomed to it—it was no longer surprising. Of course, the most important thing was that, at this moment, Tang Guo felt extremely pleased. This sensation was even more intense than winning the jackpot in a lottery.
"Xinyue sister, is that piece of jade really worth that much? Can it be worth more than a hundred million?" Tang Guo also asked curiously.
Xinyue nodded and said, "Of course it’s valuable. Such a large piece of Hetian suet jade is conservatively estimated to be worth one billion. Of course, in a small place like Liucheng, it might not sell for that price. However, if you take it to an auction in a place like Donglin City or the Capital City, one billion would definitely not be a problem."
"Wow, wow, to think you bought such a huge treasure for only a hundred thousand! It’s even more profitable than buying lottery tickets!" Tang Guo looked at Tangyu enviously. "How can you be so awesome? Isn’t this kind of luck just defying the heavens?"
Tangyu curled his lip, "What do you mean luck? This is called strength. Don’t you get it?"
"Cut the crap, just now who said they knew nothing about gambling on stones? Strength, my foot. What kind of strength do you have?" Tang Guo naturally didn’t believe him.
Tangyu replied, "Luck is also a form of strength, you know?"
"I don’t get it."
"Blockhead."
"You’re the blockhead!"
Xinyue said, "Right, Tangyu, shall we head back first? You must be tired carrying something so heavy, right?"
Tangyu shook his head and said, "It’s nothing, it doesn’t feel heavy to me at all. Since we’re here, we might as well hang out more. It’s not like we have to worry about being robbed, right?"
"Don’t jinx it. It’s possible someone might try to rob you. Our Liucheng is pretty chaotic. There are plenty of motorcycle thieves. Maybe that store owner played dirty, telling others you’re carrying a great treasure. If so, someone will definitely try to rob you," Tang Guo said.
"Yeah, I think we should go back first," Xinyue also expressed some worry.
After all, that piece of jade was worth a hundred million. If outsiders knew about it, it would surely drive them crazy. Those people involved in the underworld wouldn’t hesitate to do anything for money. Robbing and even murdering for it would not be out of the question.
Seeing the worries of the two, Tangyu could only say, "Alright, then let’s head back after we finish looking around here."
"Alright." Tangyu suddenly stopped in front of a small antique stall that was filled with various odd, ancient-looking antiques.
He had inexplicably felt a slight tug at his heart, as if something had attracted him, which was why he had paused to take a look.
Examining the items on the stall, when Tangyu finally picked up a copper medal, his eyes slightly brightened. The attraction was coming from this very object.
Upon closer inspection, Tangyu was slightly taken aback to find an inscription on the copper medal—it was a Heart Method Mantra of a spell. This delighted him. Although he hadn’t studied it in detail, he was certain it was a spell.
He was at the Earthly Realm now. If he advanced to the Inner Gate later, he could begin to cultivate some simple spells.
He hadn’t expected to find a Heart Method Mantra of a spell on such a modest stall—it was like hitting it big.
Tangyu smiled to himself, thinking today must be a lucky day for him. With both romance and wealth coming his way, it felt like a stroke of fortune was imminent.
"Boss, how much for this?" Tangyu asked.
The stall owner glanced at Tangyu and said, "One thousand yuan, take it."
Tang Guo immediately called out in displeasure, "What? Are you butchering a pig? Just for this piece of junk, you want a thousand? It’s just a tiny, broken piece of copper. Ten yuan would be more appropriate. You’re really ripping people off, totally exploiting others."
Liu Mei also raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Yeah, boss, a thousand is too much. This thing doesn’t look like any antique. How about a hundred yuan?" freeweɓnøvel~com
The stall owner shook his head firmly and said, "A thousand yuan, no bargaining." He then pointed to a sign at his feet, which read: "Fair dealing, no haggling!"
"Then forget it. We don’t want it," Tang Guo said, feeling indignant.
Tangyu smirked with a smile, "Fine, a thousand it is then. As long as you like it, the money is secondary." After saying this, Tangyu felt his pockets and realized he didn’t have any cash on him—it was clear this wasn’t a place where cards could be used.
Seeing this, Xinyue quickly took out a thousand yuan from her bag and handed it over.
This little gesture prompted Tangyu to smile and say, "Consider it a loan from you, I’ll pay you back later."
"Don’t mention it," Xinyue replied.
Having gotten the copper medal, Tangyu immediately put it away. Even if it had cost ten million yuan, it wouldn’t have been too expensive for him.
