The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 150: Dancing Clown

After lingering in the border market for three days, Ye Chenfeng prepared to make his way home. This trip to the border to seek the Yun Teng Mushroom had resulted in many unanticipated events, already wasting plenty of his time.

In those three days, Ye Chenfeng made several trips back to the Primeval Forest, transporting the carcass of the yellow giant python and the Yun Teng Mushrooms out, and instructed Mao Kangping to find a way to ship these items to Tianhai.

Ye Chenfeng had no intention of letting the meat of the yellow giant python or Yun Teng Mushrooms go to waste. Although his Soul Force had reached level six and relying solely on external forces was unlikely to lead to a significant breakthrough from now on, the Yun Teng Mushroom could boost his Soul Force in addition to serving other purposes!

Mao Kangping naturally agreed to perform the tasks Ye Chenfeng instructed without hesitation. Ever since he had witnessed the young man at the Yishun Auction House dying in agony, his regard for Ye Chenfeng had grown beyond respect; he started to view Ye Chenfeng as a miraculous figure straight out of novels and movies.

"Are you planning to return to Tianhai with me, or stay here?" Ye Chenfeng asked Han Chuxue in front of him.

Over the past few days, whenever Mao Kangping, Brother Hu, and Third Master saw her, they would eagerly call her "sister-in-law," which made her both angry and amused. However, she also felt an inexplicable joy, a feeling she naturally ignored as she was reluctant to admit to having even the slightest bit of fondness for Ye Chenfeng.

"Of course, I’m going back to Tianhai with you. But don’t you get any ideas—I still need your help to recover my strength!" Han Chuxue found a grand-sounding excuse.

"Haven’t you heard the saying? To explain is to cover up. Could it be that you’ve really taken a liking to me?"

Ye Chenfeng suddenly leaned closer to Han Chuxue, so close that she could clearly feel his breath, and her cheeks flushed slightly as she said, "Pervert, hooligan, who would like you? Even if all the men in the world died, I wouldn’t take a liking to you." Han Chuxue was so angry that her chest heaved up and down.

"Enough, talking to someone like you is such a hassle. You really have no sense of humor. Do you even know what a joke is?" Ye Chenfeng spread his hands out and said.

With her teeth tightly clenched, Han Chuxue inwardly cursed, "Dead pervert, dead pervert, stinking hooligan, stinking hooligan."

...

Before leaving the border market, Ye Chenfeng had to make one more trip to Xiyuan Town! After all, he had promised Tie Niu’s father, Wang Youli, that he would take Tie Niu with him when leaving Xiyuan Town.

Mao Kangping was, of course, the one driving Ye Chenfeng and Han Chuxue to Xiyuan Town, while Third Master enthusiastically bid farewell to Ye Chenfeng. With his life now in Ye Chenfeng’s hands, he had no choice but to serve the "little King of Hell" cautiously and attentively.

Han Chuxue got into Mao Kangping’s Land Rover, and just as Ye Chenfeng was about to get in, he heard Brother Hu’s calling voice from a distance, "Mr. Ye, wait a moment, Mr. Ye, please wait."

Brother Hu ran up to Ye Chenfeng, panting and said, "Mr. Ye, take me with you, please! I want to follow by your side from now on. I thought about it all night; it’s no solution just to linger around the border. I think following Mr. Ye, my life will become more colorful."

Ever since Ye Chenfeng had kicked Third Master away with a single foot, Brother Hu’s admiration for Ye Chenfeng became unceasing like the flow of a great river, his blood ignited with enthusiasm. Only then did he realize that his once self-important self was nothing more than a frog in a well, which is why he desired to leave the border market, where he had lived for many years, to see the world outside with his idol, Ye Chenfeng. If Ye Chenfeng could teach him even just a move or two, it would be more than great.

Ye Chenfeng sized up the emotionally charged Brother Hu in front of him. He could see that the man had truly made up his mind, and since he had established the Victory Sky Society in Tianhai, it was possible to let Brother Hu follow him. He solemnly asked, "You really want to come back to Tianhai with me? I need to tell you in advance that life with me in Tianhai won’t be as glorious as here, and you might even lose your life. I’m not being alarmist, so think it over carefully!"

Brother Hu clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling with excitement as he seriously replied, "Mr. Ye, I’ve made my decision. As long as you don’t disdain me, little Hu, in the future, I’m willing to risk my life for you."

To tell the truth, when Ye Chenfeng had kept his timely appointment with Mao Kangping three days earlier, Brother Hu, a man of staunch disposition, had been deeply moved. He knew that someone like Ye Chenfeng was worth following, and it would be his great fortune in a previous life to become brothers with Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng patted Brother Hu’s sturdy shoulder and said, "Little Hu, what are you waiting for? Get in the car! I want to catch today’s flight!"

Brother Hu was stunned for a second or two before his face blossomed into a smile. Mr. Ye was calling him "Little Hu," signifying that he had begun to be recognized by Mr. Ye, which was an immense honor for him. His throat quickly responded, "Sure thing, Mr. Ye!"

At this moment, Brother Hu perhaps didn’t know that his decision that day would become a turning point in his life. Years later, he would feel grateful for having followed Ye Chenfeng so resolutely away from the border market, but that’s a story for another time.

Mao Kangping opened his mouth but ultimately didn’t say anything. Now that he was under the protection of Third Master in the border trade market, his business here was bound to get better and better. He wasn’t willing to give up his ventures here, pledging his loyalty to Ye Chenfeng just like Brother Hu unto death.

Third Master watched the Rover’s dust trail fade into the distance, feeling melancholy. "I’ve lived most of my life, and now my life is in the hands of a young kid?" He sighed inwardly but also had to admit, "However, his martial prowess is formidable. Where did he come from? It’s probable that with his skills, he could barely pass as a master in the Ancient Martial World, right? It seems I should not underestimate the people of this secular world."

...

The villagers of Xiyuan Town came out to greet Ye Chenfeng, knowing the "Little Immortal" had returned. The reception he received was nearly more popular than that of the Huaxia Country’s president!

Ye Chenfeng felt overwhelmed by such enthusiasm and was about to leave after meeting Tie Niu, but just then, a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girl emerged from the crowd—it was Su Yueru!

With her little face flushed, Su Yueru mustered her courage, approached Ye Chenfeng, and said in a low voice, "Brother Chenfeng, you must not forget what you promised me. When I grow up, I want to be your wife."

After finishing her statement, the girl rose on her tiptoes and, under the watchful eyes of everyone around, gently pecked Ye Chenfeng’s lips with her soft lips, then ran away, covering her face.

Ye Chenfeng savored the faint fragrance on his lips, when suddenly a cold snort hit his ears. He saw Han Chuxue with a frosty look, rebuking him, "Pervert, lecher, how could you take advantage of such a young girl?"

Ye Chenfeng felt wronged, a true travesty of justice—just now it was clearly Su Yueru who kissed him! He hadn’t done anything!

Ye Chenfeng still didn’t think much of Su Yueru’s action. He believed that given a year or two, the young girl would naturally forget about him. However, he was unaware that having saved Su Yueru twice had sparked an unquenchable flame of affection in her heart.

Mao Kangping drove Ye Chenfeng, Brother Hu, Tie Niu, and Han Chuxue to the airport. Upon parting, he asked Ye Chenfeng to visit him more often when he had the chance!

The flight from the border to Tianhai took just over three hours. When the plane landed at Tianhai Airport, it was barely after two in the afternoon.

Stepping out of the airport, the dazzling sunlight shone obliquely. Han Chuxue hadn’t said a word during the entire trip, always wearing a cold expression as if Ye Chenfeng owed her millions.

They hailed a taxi and headed straight back to the villa.

Standing at the villa’s entrance, Brother Hu flattered, "Mr. Ye, I had no idea you were wealthy! This villa must have cost a pretty penny!"

Just as Ye Chenfeng was about to open the door, the villa’s door suddenly swung open from the inside. Monkey, upon seeing Ye Chenfeng, became visibly excited, "Boss, you’re finally back! Do you know how many times I’ve called you these past few days?"

Ye Chenfeng took out his phone and said, "Sorry, my phone died and turned off automatically. Did something happen?"

Monkey nodded and quickly recounted the whole story. The Quick Beauty product had exploded in popularity, almost more so than a money printing machine!

The Lis were a business family of some standing in Tianhai. When they learned that Quick Beauty was produced at a pharmaceutical factory owned by Li Pangzi, they set their sights on the formula. Even the current Family Head, Li Pangzi’s grandfather, put pressure on him.

However, when the Lis found out that the last herbal catalyst, which Monkey held, was the key to Quick Beauty, they turned their attention to Monkey, trying to pry information from him by all means possible. Even approaching Monkey’s family—for ever since his parents died in a car accident, Monkey had been kicked out of the family—but now that his relatives knew about the crucial catalyst in his hands, they all sought him out, eager to extract useful information from him.

Ye Chenfeng had initially taught Monkey how to make the catalyst, trusting that Monkey wouldn’t betray him. Sure enough, Monkey didn’t disappoint him. Whether it was the Lis or his so-called elders, he kept his lips sealed tight, not disclosing a single word.

But now the situation was escalating. If Ye Chenfeng didn’t return soon, Monkey was afraid he couldn’t hold out much longer.

Ye Chenfeng had anticipated such events, muttering in his throat, "A bunch of clowns blinded by money, I’ll teach you what it means to lose more than you try to steal." (To be continued.
