The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 222: That Thing
Chapter 222: Chapter 222: That Thing
After the swirling dust had settled, the Wus’ backyard remained silent. Patriarch Wu, Wu Zhifang, and Wu Kunming had already seen Ye Chenfeng’s skills. They even witnessed firsthand in the Yes’ living room yesterday how Ye Chenfeng made a glass explode into powder in mid-air.
But compared to the exploding glass yesterday, the current scene was worlds apart. Where was the limit of Ye Chenfeng’s strength? Could it be that Ye Chenfeng was a freakish existence? This thought shamed Wu Kunming. Ever since he met Ye Chenfeng at the Strong Soldier Training Camp in Tianhai, his weak heart had been repeatedly shocked. He used to think how great his own strength was, perhaps only second to the members of the Soldier King Group. But after experiencing Ye Chenfeng’s formidable power, he realized that even the members of the Soldier King Group were nothing in front of Chenfeng.
The boiling blood surged in Wu Jie, Xiaofei’s younger brother. The scene before his eyes seemed to be something that only happened in martial arts films, yet it was unfolding right before him. How could he not get excited? How could his blood not burn with enthusiasm?
At the age where Wu Jie was hot-blooded and high-spirited, he fantasized all day about becoming a powerful and unchallenged figure. His fervent heart trembled along with the sights before him.
What on earth was going on? Could the fool of the Yes be a martial arts master? No, that’s not right, could Ye Chenfeng be a martial arts master?
Wu Jie’s mind was swamped by overwhelming waves. It seemed to him unreasonable to call such a person a fool. His eyes filled with admiration as he looked again at Ye Chenfeng not far away, and he cast away any dissatisfaction he had with Chenfeng from before.
Joking aside, wouldn’t it be cool to have such a martial arts master as his brother-in-law? Who else would dare to push him around in Capital City then? Wu Jie’s mind was wild with thoughts.
The gazebo was a wreck; not only the roof had been blown off, but even the stone table and chairs had been shattered into rubble.
Because of the broken stone chair, Wu Xiaofei sat down heavily on the ground, her hair messy as if ravaged by a wild storm, and her clothes riddled with tears. Fortunately, it was winter, and Wu Xiaofei was wearing several layers, otherwise, she would certainly have been exposed. novelbuddy-cσ๓
When Ye Chenfeng’s Soul Force suddenly broke through to level seven, he remembered that his sister Xiaofei was by his side. He quickly dispersed the overflowing Soul Force to the surroundings to ensure Wu Xiaofei’s safety. Even so, he still managed to cover her in dust and dirt.
Still, had Ye Chenfeng not promptly diverted the excess Soul Force, Wu Xiaofei might not only have been injured, but her clothes would have all torn apart, revealing her modesty to the open air.
It was just like the time when Ye Chenfeng’s Soul Force broke through from level five to six in the Primeval Forest, and the overflowing force shredded Han Chuxue’s clothes. Ye Chenfeng certainly did not wish to experience that again.
"Um, Xiaofei, why don’t you go back to the villa for a bath and change your clothes?" Ye Chenfeng touched his nose and suggested.
Wu Xiaofei looked at Ye Chenfeng, then at her own tattered clothes, and let out a high-pitched scream, "Ahh!" Then she staggeringly rose from the ground and ran towards the villa. Watching her stumble each step of the way, she seemed still in shock of what had happened.
Looking at Wu Xiaofei’s hastily retreating figure, Ye Chenfeng also stood up from the ground, dusting off his clothes. When he saw the state of the Wus’ backyard, he couldn’t help but awkwardly shrug his shoulders with a hint of embarrassment.
Just then, Patriarch Wu and others approached Ye Chenfeng. They looked at him as if he was a creature from another world. Patriarch Wu asked with a trembling voice, "Chenfeng, was that commotion caused by you?"
Ye Chenfeng nodded and said apologetically, "Grandpa Wu, my strength suddenly broke through just now, so I accidentally made a mess of your backyard."
It should be noted that Patriarch Wu enjoyed gardening and fish-keeping in his leisure time; many of the plants in the backyard were collected with great effort. If Wu Kunming and others dared to accidentally damage his plants, Patriarch Wu would scold them to the heavens.
Now, nearly every plant in the whole back garden had been destroyed, not a single one spared. Wu Kunming thought to himself, "Chenfeng, you better pray for good fortune! These plants are my old man’s pride and joy!"
But to his surprise, not only was the old master Wu not angry, he actually burst out laughing. He clapped Ye Chenfeng on the shoulder and said excitedly, "Chenfeng, what a great job destroying them, really well done!"
Ye Chenfeng was almost certain now that he would become the old master Wu’s grandson-in-law. With such a terrifying level of strength, of course the old master Wu was overjoyed. If Wu Kunming and the others had been able to destroy the back garden like Ye Chenfeng, the old master Wu definitely wouldn’t have scolded them. Instead, he would have encouraged them to destroy even more!
However, when Wu Kunming and others merely took occasional strolls in the back garden, they would accidentally trample a plant to death, and such destruction would certainly not earn them any favors from the old master Wu.
The old master Wu began to scheme, "No, I can’t let Chenfeng’s excellent genes slip through my fingers! I must have Xiaofei and Chenfeng have several children, and one of their children must carry the Wu surname."
"Dad, these plants are your pride and joy! They’re all destroyed, why are you so happy?" Wu Kunming couldn’t help but ask.
The old master Wu glared at Wu Kunming, annoyed, "Are you trying to say that I used to curse you out for accidentally trampling one to death, and now I’m happy they are all destroyed?"
"Kunming, if you could destroy on a grand scale like Chenfeng, I wouldn’t say a word to you. If you like destroying, I would even help you build a few more gardens," he said.
Wu Kunming fell silent. He was no freak like Ye Chenfeng and could not dream of reaching Ye Chenfeng’s level of strength in his lifetime.
"Little uncle, you’re so lame. My brother-in-law is a hundred times, a thousand times cooler than you. You might as well stay where it’s cool!" Wu Jie enthusiastically eyed Ye Chenfeng, eagerly calling out, "Brother-in-law, can you really fight? The scene just now was so shocking, the pavilion’s roof was blown off, the pond water burst into sprays, and deep pits were blasted into the ground. You’re my idol, and from now on, I’m with you. You have to teach me martial arts, okay?"
Ye Chenfeng shook his head, amused by the fervent admiration Wu Jie showed him, especially since just a short while ago, the kid hadn’t even acknowledged him as part of the Wu family. Now he was more attentive than anyone else!
Knowing his young grandson never listened to anyone since he was a child and had a reputation for being a wastrel in Capital City circles, the old master Wu thought it wouldn’t be a bad thing if Wu Jie could learn something from Ye Chenfeng. After all, the future of the Wu family would still depend on the younger generation, so he said, "Chenfeng, when you have time, give little Jie some pointers. It seems he’s utterly convinced by you."
"Little Jie, if you really want to learn martial arts, you will have to work very hard. Do you really want me to teach you?" asked Ye Chenfeng.
Wu Jie declared with utter sincerity, "Brother-in-law, we’re both men of our word, don’t underestimate me. I’m not afraid of hard work."
Wu Jie’s eyes swiveled as he whispered into Ye Chenfeng’s ear, "Brother-in-law, I apologize for what happened earlier. Only someone like you can be Wu Jie’s brother-in-law. Don’t worry, I’m sure you haven’t made progress with my sister yet, right? I’ll take you to her room later, and I guarantee you two can turn uncooked rice into cooked rice."
Ye Chenfeng was full of speechless exasperation, quickly stopping Wu Jie from continuing, "Little Jie, I wouldn’t mind training you, but from now on, you will listen to me and stop making inappropriate comments in my presence."
"Yes, brother-in-law. From now on, if you tell me to go east, I’ll never go west," Wu Jie said, his face breaking into a beaming smile upon hearing Ye Chenfeng agreeing to teach him martial arts.
