Chapter 117: Chapter 105: Carving Obstructed (Part 2)

He had never encountered such a situation before.

“Does it hurt now?” Yan Botao said coldly, “If it doesn’t hurt enough, I don’t mind crippling your hands too, so you can lie in bed peacefully and wait for someone to feed you.”

“No, no, I’m wrong, I’m wrong, President, I’m wrong. It’s all my fault, I’ll leave, I’ll leave right now.” Hou Wu was genuinely scared this time. He was essentially someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Since bringing up the Hai family didn’t help, Hou Wu really had no other way.

He could tell that if he continued to be arrogant, Yan Botao would really cripple his hands. If he didn’t plead for mercy now, when else would he?

With all his limbs crippled, he would truly become a useless person.

“Go back and tell your master that the Evergreen Commerce Association’s recipes are not for sale, and he’d better give up on this idea.” Bai Jingfei also stepped out and said from behind.

“Yes, yes, I’ll go back and tell my brother-in-law.”

After he finished speaking, Hou Wu reached out to pick up the silver notes on the ground.

But as he extended his hand, the silver notes suddenly flew up and landed in Yan Botao’s hand.

“Causing trouble at my association, hitting my people, and overturning my goods, this bit of silver will just count as compensation.” Yan Botao collected the silver notes with an unchanged expression.

“Of course, of course.” Hou Wu quickly said with a sycophantic smile.

A few lackeys hurried forward to help Hou Wu up. As Hou Wu moved his legs, the pain was excruciating, but he gritted his teeth and stood up. However, when he turned around, a vicious look flashed in his eyes.

Evergreen Commerce Association, just you wait.

I want every one of you to be worse off than me.

The injustice I suffered here today, I will repay tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold someday!

Just as Hou Wu was about to leave, Yan Botao’s voice sounded from behind: “Wait.”

Hou Wu’s heart skipped a beat, but he stopped and turned around, supported by others, with a fawning smile on his face, he asked, “Does the President have anything else?”

Yan Botao pointed to the ground, saying, “Shouldn’t the dirty ground be cleaned?”

“Clean, clean,” Hou Wu quickly said, then hurriedly scolded a few subordinates, “Why aren’t you cleaning it up quickly!”

“No need to bother.” Yan Botao smiled and said, “It’s been so long that it’s dried, wiping it might not work, you just kneel down and lick it clean.”

“What!” Hou Wu couldn’t believe his ears, his expression showed terror.

Everyone present looked at Yan Botao in shock, this association’s president sure knew how to play!

But why did this disgusting demand make everyone anticipate it a bit, wanting to see Hou Wu kneel and lick the floor?

“Didn’t hear me clearly? But I don’t like repeating myself.” Yan Botao’s voice calmed down, his gaze landing between Hou Wu’s legs.

It was as if the aura of death swept over, Hou Wu immediately felt a chill in his crotch, quickly shivering and saying, “I’ll lick, I’ll lick it right now, ensuring it’s spotless.”

Saying that, he lay flat on the ground.

The scene was somewhat disgusting, causing some to avert their eyes.

Even his lackeys frowned.

Not to mention Hou Wu himself.

“Your grandfather, who was it that spit so many times…” Hou Wu cursed.

The lackey who spat several times didn’t dare to make a sound at this time.

After Hou Wu cleaned the ground, he chaotically fled with his men.

“We’ve completely offended the Hai family this time,” Zhao Yiqiu stepped forward and said, “I wonder how the Hai family will respond; Yunling Sect hasn’t even taken action yet.”

“Nothing to worry about.”

Yan Botao confidently said, “The Grand Offering said, soldiers will come, generals will block, and if the Hai family tries anything, we’ll just face it. As for the Yunling Sect, there’s nothing to worry about, the Grand Offering said they won’t stand with the Hai family, nor will they be our enemy against the Evergreen Commerce Association.”

“Yunling Sect won’t be our enemy?” Zhao Yiqiu and Bai Jingfei were somewhat curious.

The Evergreen Commerce Association came to their territory to take business, how could Yunling Sect not consider them an enemy?

The Yunling Sect isn’t that easygoing, right?

“That’s what the Grand Offering said, he has already informed the Yunling Sect in advance.” Yan Botao shook his head and said, “Since the Grand Offering said so, we’ll believe it.”

Zhao Yiqiu and Bai Jingfei were surprised to hear this, did Li Changqing have old ties with the Yunling Sect?

Thinking of the mysterious and powerful Li Changqing, they felt more confident.

The Yan family in Changting Town.

At this time, Li Changqing was in the back bamboo forest, carving the Longevity Wood according to his thoughts.

Previously, he did it casually, but this time, after listening to Yin Shuyu’s advice, Li Changqing set a goal for the wood carving in his heart before starting to carve.

However, this time, something happened that surprised even Li Changqing.

His carving became incredibly difficult.

What was usually a familiar task now felt extremely arduous, even removing a small chip required all his strength.

Moreover, after carving for two incense sticks’ worth of time, he hadn’t even carved out a rough shape before feeling extremely fatigued, with drooping eyelids and overwhelming drowsiness, as if he could fall asleep on the ground at any moment.

This feeling of fatigue was something he had never experienced before.

Since arriving in Cangyuan Realm, Li Changqing had never felt his divine soul deplete so fast before.

The carving was difficult and particularly exhausting, Li Changqing seemed to understand now.

Could it be because the carving was somewhat defying the heavens, making it so difficult?

What was obstructing him?

Was it the so-called Heavenly Dao?

Or the rules of this Cangyuan Realm?

But no matter what, even if the progress was slow, Li Changqing planned to finish this carving, to provide his son an extra layer of protection.

After realizing the carving challenge, Li Changqing wasn’t discouraged, as long as it could be carved, it could definitely be finished.

It was just a matter of time, he would slowly carve it. In his past life, he even spent more than half a year rushing to complete a massive wood carving.

When carving made him tired, he’d just sleep to replenish his energy.

So, Li Changqing simply had Zhang Fuguang build a simple hut in the bamboo forest, and he lived there, with Ah Fei guarding outside.

He also instructed Zhang Fuguang to tell others he was in seclusion for a while and to have his meals delivered to the bamboo forest’s edge daily.

Zhang Fuguang nodded in understanding.

He was a bit curious about what Li Changqing was cultivating, but he didn’t pry too much.

Just like Li Changqing, although he took in him and his daughter, he never asked why they came from the Great Yuan Dynasty to Minghong State.

Zhang Fuguang was grateful Li Changqing didn’t ask.

He wasn’t very keen to talk about the reason either.

He continued cleaning the courtyard daily and led a peaceful life with his daughter.

On Mount Muhai.

In time, Li Hengsheng’s body had fully recovered.

Knowing Li Jingsong had saved him, Li Hengsheng visited Futu Pavilion especially to thank him.

After all, Li Jingsong was the Pavilion Master of Futu Pavilion, with such a status, saving him warranted a good gratitude.

“No need to be so formal, you’re a disciple of my Dao Mountain Ancient Land, saving you is my duty,” Li Jingsong said with a smile.

He genuinely liked this child, Li Hengsheng.

“But be careful in the future,” Li Jingsong advised, “You have great potential and unparalleled enlightenment. You’ll certainly have a brilliant future, but you lack experience in the martial world, so be more cautious. The Ghost Race keeps a close eye on our Human Race’s talents, fearing the rise of another strong human.”

“Thank you, Pavilion Master, I’ll be more cautious in the future.” Li Hengsheng suddenly asked, curious, “After I woke up, I heard something happened in the sect a few days ago, that the sect’s grand formation was activated. It seemed someone broke in, what happened?”
