Brother Huo's eyes flickered with a smile that men understood.
"Brother Huo, this chick is so hot, wanna..." the flamboyant youth grinned suggestively. "You take the first bite, Brother Huo, just leave the leftovers for your little brother!"
"Money first, we'll talk about everything else later!" Brother Huo took a deep breath, suppressing his desires. "If they're smart, fine. If not, I'll show them what a real man is!"
A sinister smile spread across his face.
Although Yang Feilong was far away, he heard their words. After all, he wasn't an ordinary person.
"Two ability users, one with more awakenings, one with fewer!" Yang Feilong hadn't met many ability users, but he had just encountered a water ability user not long ago. He hadn't expected to meet two more ability users on his way back – one a fire ability user, and the other an earth ability user.
Among the five elements, disregarding elemental counter-play, metal and fire ability users were both excellent for offense!
And among the five elements, earth ability users possessed the strongest defense.
Wood and water abilities, the former excelled at healing, and while water abilities could also heal, their effectiveness was inferior to wood.
One offense, one defense, if they cooperated, they could deal with existences even stronger than themselves!
The one with more awakenings was the fire ability user, and the other was the earth ability user.
"You pushed a giant boulder down the mountain to block our path. What is the meaning of this?" Yang Feilong asked, even though he knew their intentions. He wanted to give them another chance, to decide whether to cripple them or kill them.
Normally, he would have just killed them and been done with it.
But he was about to return to see his master, and if his master knew he had become a cold-blooded executioner, he might be displeased. Therefore, he suppressed the impulse to kill them outright and offered them a sliver of a chance.
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!" the dark-skinned Brother Huo said coldly. "This boulder fell on its own."
"Fell on its own?" Li Yufei was furious at their blatant lies. "You're shameless!"
"Miss, don't think you can slander us just because you're pretty!" the dark-skinned Brother Huo said blandly, his eyes scanning Li Yufei with blatant disregard.
Yang Feilong frowned, growing impatient. "If you didn't push it, then what are you doing here?"
"Want some help pushing the rock away?" Brother Huo grinned.
"If you let us help, it'll be convenient and cost-effective!" the flamboyant youth chuckled.
"Help? What's the price?" Yang Feilong asked calmly, his expression unchanging.
"Not much, just five million!" the flamboyant youth said with a smile.
"Five million?" Li Yufei was so amused she almost laughed. This was profiting from misfortune, or rather, extortion!
Out in the open!
"Five hundred yuan, and I might consider it," Yang Feilong said.
"Five hundred yuan? Are you trying to bribe a beggar?" Brother Huo's mouth twisted into a cruel smile. "It seems you still don't understand your predicament!"
"What predicament?" Yang Feilong feigned ignorance.
"You can't get through here without paying the toll road fee!" the flamboyant youth sneered.
"What, so if you can't force us to buy, you're going to threaten us?" Yang Feilong retorted with a cold smile.
"So what? Kid, let me tell you, if you don't agree, we'll kill you outright. As for your girlfriend here, hehe, we'll let her entertain us!" the flamboyant youth said with a cruel glint in his eye.
People often said that earth ability users were usually honest and straightforward.
But this young man showed no such honesty; instead, he was cunning and sinister.
Yang Feilong was somewhat bewildered. How did this ability awaken?
He would have to study it carefully upon his return. Perhaps he really did have a chance to master a second path.
If he could master the method of awakening, then even if the people around him couldn't enter the path of Qi refinement or ancient martial arts, they could still walk the path of abilities. In Yang Feilong's opinion, the path of abilities, apart from the difficulty of awakening, was relatively easier to enter.
Of course, this was his analysis after reading the ability awakening manual. He wasn't sure if it was accurate.
"Feilong, can you beat these guys?" Li Yufei came to Yang Feilong's side, suppressing her anger, and asked in a low voice.
"Of course I can!" Yang Feilong was taken aback.
"If you can beat them, why are you letting them run rampant like this?" Li Yufei said with some dissatisfaction.
"..." Yang Feilong was stunned.
"Do you find it entertaining to watch them insult people?" Li Yufei asked, somewhat angry. "I never thought you had such a peculiar hobby!"
"I..." Yang Feilong almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
In her eyes, was he such a person?
"Kid, you're a martial artist too?" Li Yufei's words weren't quiet, so the two on the opposite side heard them. The flamboyant youth looked at Yang Feilong, a playful and surprised look on his face.
"My girlfriend is angry, so I can't be bothered to waste more words with you. Now I'll give you two choices!" Yang Feilong said, looking at them coldly.
Hearing Yang Feilong's words, Li Yufei's pretty face blushed instantly. She glanced at Yang Feilong, thinking, What nonsense is he spouting? When did I agree to be his girlfriend? He's so shameless!
As Yang Feilong spoke, he also observed Li Yufei's reaction with his spiritual sense. If she had been very angry, he would have immediately corrected himself. But the fact was, she wasn't angry, apart from a hint of shyness.
He knew he had made the right move.
Now, he vaguely understood why Li Yufei had been angry earlier.
She had probably been kissed by him, but he hadn't shown any intention of making her his girlfriend.
That made sense!
They had no official status, yet he had kissed her lips with such relish.
Thinking about it again, her kiss was just a light touch, which could still be considered friendship. But his actions had gone beyond the boundaries of friendship.
"I'm so stupid!" Yang Feilong thought, wanting to slap himself.
But it wasn't too late; there was still a chance to make amends.
As for his having other girlfriends, although Li Yufei hadn't mentioned it again, she had probably accepted it.
Thinking of this, Yang Feilong couldn't help but curse himself. He was truly a scumbag, having two girlfriends already and still bothering Li Yufei. But could he give up Li Yufei? He couldn't do that either!
