He Ate a Divine Dragon-Chapter 474 - 472 Deserved It

The opponent suddenly lunged at Lin Xiao, but Lin Xiao remained motionless, his eyes full of scorn. There was no helping it; this trash's cultivation was simply too weak. He wasn't a match for me at all. In that case, why should I dodge? The trash quickly closed the distance, swinging an iron fist straight at Lin Xiao's vital points.

Lin Xiao watched him with an indifferent gaze. Just as the man's fist was about to land, Lin Xiao made his move.

SMACK!!!

A solid slap, carrying world-shattering force, struck the man's head. The next second, his body slammed hard against a nearby wall, the immense impact making it tremble. He crashed to the ground, the pain so intense he almost passed out.

Lin Xiao hadn't killed him. Killing him would be boring. It was far more thrilling to leave him in despair. The man lay motionless on the ground like a dead dog. Lin Xiao watched him coldly. After more than ten minutes, he finally stirred.

He glanced at Lin Xiao, his initial scorn and wildness now replaced with fear and venomous resentment.

"Oh? Lost your nerve?" Lin Xiao asked with a cold laugh.

"If you've got the guts, then fucking kill me!"

"You think I don't dare?" Lin Xiao looked at him with contempt.

"Then fucking kill me! If you kill me, our Martial Alliance will tear you to pieces!"

Lin Xiao laughed and threw the Martial Alliance token at the man's feet.

The man snorted. "You think you can scare me with some random piece of junk? Do I look like I frighten easily?"

"Scare you? Fool, pick it up and take a look!"

"Fine, I'll look!" the man retorted, snatching the token from the floor.

As a member of the Martial Alliance, he of course knew what the Alliance Leader's Command was. Recognizing it was the very first thing taught to every new recruit. The moment the once-arrogant man laid eyes on the token, his expression changed drastically. His face turned deathly pale, and his breathing grew ragged.

"Well? Recognize it?" Lin Xiao sneered.

The man's gaze toward Lin Xiao shifted dramatically. "Wh-who the hell are you?" he stammered.

"Who do you think?"

Lin Xiao's question struck him with a chilling wave of terror. The hand holding the token began to tremble, the object that weighed only a few hundred grams suddenly feeling as heavy as a mountain. Finally, the token slipped from his grasp and clattered to the floor. He collapsed completely, staring at Lin Xiao in utter horror.

Lin Xiao retrieved the token. "Speak. What's your name?"

"W-Wang Jingxiu."

"Alright, you can go. Go tell Wang Shicheng that I will personally visit the Wang Family tomorrow. If he doesn't want to die, he will be on his knees at the front gate to welcome my arrival. Understand?"

"Y-yes! Understood!"

"Get lost!"

Wang Jingxiu scrambled to his feet and staggered out of the security room.

And just like that, the incident was over. After Lin Xiao had been drinking tea for a while, Bei Kuang walked in, unaccompanied by Shang Tuo.

"Where's Shang Tuo?" Lin Xiao asked.

"On duty!" Bei Kuang replied respectfully.

Lin Xiao smiled. "Anything out of the ordinary?"

Bei Kuang shook his head. "Everything's normal. He seems to be taking his duties seriously."

"What's his cultivation level?" Lin Xiao asked.

Bei Kuang hesitated.

"Speak."

"Dragon Lord, I apologize, but I can't discern his cultivation level."

"Hmm? You can't discern it? You don't think he's stronger than you, do you?"

"Dragon Lord, I don't know. But... I have this feeling that he doesn't have any cultivation at all."

Lin Xiao laughed. "Impossible. He's a renowned young genius."

Bei Kuang nodded. "Dragon Lord, perhaps his cultivation has already surpassed my own, which is why I can't perceive it."

"It's fine. Rest for a bit, have some water."

Bei Kuang acknowledged the order.

Perhaps because of all the encounters that evening, Su Qingning was feeling tired and wanted to go home early, which Lin Xiao was more than happy to do. As he drove, Su Qingning leaned wearily against the passenger window.

"Tired?" Lin Xiao asked softly.

Su Qingning opened her eyes and smiled at him. "I'm alright."

"It's okay. Rest for a bit. I'll wake you when we get there."

She nodded obediently.

Soon, they arrived back at the villa. Su Qingning's sleepy eyes fluttered open.

"Are we here?"

Lin Xiao nodded. As she started to get out, he stopped her. "Don't move."

She gave him a quizzical look. Lin Xiao just smiled, quickly got out, and walked around to the passenger side. He opened her door. "Come on, let your husband carry you."

Su Qingning's eyes lit up, and she happily opened her arms. Lin Xiao lifted her and turned toward the villa. She's so light, but her figure is perfectly curvaceous. Shen Jingzhe followed silently behind them, her eyes, half-hidden in the shadows, flickering with envy.

He gently placed Su Qingning on the bed. "Sleepy?" he leaned over and asked with a smile.

She nodded.

"Then go to sleep. I'll stay by your side."

Su Qingning nodded again. Lin Xiao leaned down and gently kissed her forehead. A faint smile graced her features. She truly was exhausted and fell asleep just a few moments later.

Lin Xiao wasn't sleepy, so he got up and went downstairs. Shen Jingzhe was in the living room watching TV. Seeing him come down the stairs, she turned her head to look.

"What are you watching?" Lin Xiao asked with a smile.

"None of your business."

"Have you seen Shang Tuo?" Lin Xiao asked, sitting down beside her.

Shen Jingzhe nodded.

"What's his cultivation level?"

"You're asking me?"

"What, is there a third person in the villa I should ask?"

Shen Jingzhe shot him a look. "I can't sense any Profound Energy fluctuations from him."

"What does that mean? He has no cultivation?"

"That would be my assessment."

"How is that possible? He's supposed to be a young genius!" Lin Xiao retorted.

Shen Jingzhe said coldly, "Then his cultivation is so far beyond mine that I can't perceive it."

Lin Xiao nodded. "That's a possibility."

"Why are you asking? Do you think he's a threat to you?"

"I do. I'm not afraid of him, but his very presence is a threat."

"Then just kill him. You're the Dragon Lord, after all. You can kill whoever you want."

Lin Xiao smiled. "I'm the Dragon Lord, yes, but I'm not an idiot. Some people can be killed, and some can't. Besides, he hasn't done anything out of line yet. I have no reason to kill him."

"Then I guess you'll just have to suffer," Shen Jingzhe said coldly.

"Dammit, Shen Jingzhe! Kicking a man while he's down?"

"You deserve it."

With that, she got up and started to head for her room.

"Wait!" Lin Xiao called out quickly.
