Chapter 75
Chapter 242: You Come Kill Me
The two women beside them trembled upon hearing this, instantly falling from heaven to hell. They never dreamed that this strange fellow would not only walk into a trap but also be tired of living.
Duan Feng and his son were also caught off guard by the arrogance of the cloaked man, who dared to provoke them so openly, and were stunned on the spot.
“Young master, this is not funny. Please make fewer jokes like this in the future.”
Liu Yingchun, wanting to de-escalate the situation, quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
“Is that so? Shopkeeper, I also don’t find it funny! That’s why I’m not joking! As long as we get rid of this guy, all problems will be solved.”
Qi Huang reiterated, knowing that the person before her was the mastermind.
“You…”
Liu Yingyue’s body trembled with anger, thinking, “If you’re going to risk your life, at least don’t drag me down with you!”
“Good kid, you’ve spoken disrespectfully multiple times, are you unhappy with your life and want me to finish you off sooner?”
Afeng was furious.
“You guessed right, my life has been quite unsatisfactory, I’ve wanted to die several times!”
Qi Huang recalled that period when her body progressively feminized and spoke with emotion, though she certainly didn’t want to die now, as she had long grown accustomed to this body.
“Tch…”
Afeng displayed a disdainful smile.
“Jin Biao wanted to die, and you want to die too? He was cuckolded, what about you? You haven’t been cuckolded too, have you?”
Xia Wei asked in disbelief. She had initially thought this guy was here to kill someone, not to be killed by someone else.
“Jin Biao wants to die? What does that mean?”
Duan Feng interjected curiously, but no one paid him any attention.
“Little brother, you’re only sixteen, you’ve met too few girls, don’t be so pessimistic! There are still many good girls like me in this world, how about I agree to your marriage proposal and become your sweetheart?”
Liu Yingyue also tried to entice him. His death, whether by suicide or self-destruction, was not good for Juyin Auction House. As the shopkeeper, she couldn’t just stand by and watch.
“Really? That would be wonderful! I suddenly don’t want to die anymore.”
Qi Huang said excitedly. She hadn’t even finished speaking, and she didn’t expect that just a few casual remarks could trick her into having a great beauty as a sweetheart, which was a huge profit.
“Unfortunately, whether you die or not is probably not up to you now.”
Duan Feng interrupted coldly and continued, “You said that killing me would solve the problem, I’d like to hear the reason. If young master cannot provide a satisfactory explanation, then I’m afraid those Cat’s Eye Tears will become relics tonight.”
“Uncle Duan, what are you doing? This is a client of our auction house. As the shopkeeper, do you intend to harm a client in full view of everyone?”
Liu Yingyue asked in astonishment.
“I need to stay alive first, and then be the shopkeeper of this auction house. He already said he wanted to kill me, can’t I fight back?”
Duan Feng retorted with reason.
“Deputy Manager Duan is certainly well-versed in how to turn auction items into relics, coming up with reasons so readily.”
Qi Huang said sarcastically.
“Well-versed in what? I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Duan Feng played dumb.
“Uncle Duan, don’t listen to him, he’s joking!”
Liu Yingyue was anxious and quickly went to Qi Huang, pleading, “Young master, I beg you, can we stop here? Tell me your demands!”
“Is that so? Then does the marriage proposal you just mentioned still count?”
Qi Huang asked excitedly.
“It counts! Of course, it counts!”
Liu Yingyue said without hesitation, though she was making plans in her mind. She had to stabilize this guy first and then find a way to get out of it later.
“Alright, since my wife says to stop here, then I won’t play anymore. Let’s get serious! To tell you the truth, Jin Biao is already dead. Before he died, he confessed everything. You old guy are the mastermind. As long as you’re dealt with, all problems will naturally be solved! Is this reason reasonable enough?”
“Wh-what? Didn’t you promise…”
Liu Yingyue shivered, almost dying of anger.
Duan Feng and his son’s expressions changed slightly, but they quickly returned to normal.
“Oh? Is that so? I’m very curious how you killed him?”
Duan Feng asked calmly.
“He stood there and let me kill him. It is said that his wife had cuckolded him! So he was determined to die.”
Qi Huang pretended to be foolish.
“What a wimp!”
Duan Feng believed it and cursed indignantly.
“Alright, then I’ll also be serious. It was me, but what can you do about it?”
Duan Feng said arrogantly.
Liu Yingyue opened her mouth, wanting to condemn him, but the words couldn’t come out. After all, she already knew about it, and she had already scolded him. Scolding him again would be too fake.
“What? Shopkeeper Liu, aren’t you surprised at all? You’re so calm. Could it be that you already knew about this?”
Duan Feng mocked.
“Shameless rogue! You’ve done such a crazed thing, aren’t you afraid I’ll report this to the Liu family afterwards?”
Liu Yingyue cursed through gritted teeth.
“Oh dear, my dear niece, you are here to prove your business management ability. If you need to report such a small issue to the family, then your father might as well wait for the next life to be the clan leader!”
Duan Feng said with impunity.
“Yes, didn’t you just find a fiancé? Are you planning to leech off him? Let him help you, hahaha…”
Afeng also started to mock.
“You…”
Liu Yingyue gnashed her teeth so hard they creaked.
“Alas! My dear wife, don’t be angry. Young master Duan’s words are not unreasonable. If we have to seek help from the family for such a small problem, then what do I need this fiancé for?”
Qi Huang calmly held Liu Yingyue’s jade hand.
Liu Yingyue was stunned for a moment, as she found the hand holding hers to be very smooth and delicate, and as soft as boneless, not like a man’s hand at all.
“Is he a girl? Or is he… a pampered young master? But can a man really have such hands? They are even smaller and softer than my own.”
Liu Yingyue’s doubts flashed through her mind.
“Not bad, you have ambition. But how does young master plan to help his fiancée? By killing me?”
Duan Feng asked contemptuously.
“That’s exactly what I intend to do!”
Qi Huang’s tone remained relaxed and leisurely.
“No, no, no, he doesn’t want to! He absolutely doesn’t want to!”
Liu Yingyue tried to smooth things over again.
“Is that so? Unfortunately, I’m not Jin Biao. I’m stronger than him, and I haven’t been cuckolded. Why would you kill me?”
Duan Feng’s breathing slowly subsided, and a malicious smile appeared on his face, like a beast poised to strike.
“Oh? Is Manager Duan stronger than that Jin Biao? One really can’t judge a book by its cover, a businessman who hasn’t neglected his martial arts!”
Qi Huang asked with feigned surprise.
“How else do you think an outsider like me could become the deputy manager? Just by my brain? In such chaotic times, I would have died ten times over long ago.”
Duan Feng proudly recounted his past glories, then provoked again, “So, as long as I don’t want to die, you wanting to kill me is simply a pipe dream!”
“I think you quite want to die, because you’ve been courting death all along. Don’t you just want me to kill you?”
Qi Huang guessed.
“Is that so? Since I want to die, then you come kill me? I’d like to see how you can kill me, haha…”
Duan Feng spread his arms provocatively.
“Hehe, two people have already made such a strange request today. If I don’t satisfy you, I’d seem petty.”
Qi Huang clapped her hands, then took out “Cicada Wing Face” from her storage ring? Then she stood up and walked over.
“A good sword, the content of Blue Scale Stone should not be low. It seems like there will be another relic tonight.”
Duan Feng’s eyes lit up.
“Father, he conjured a treasure sword out of thin air. He must have other good things like storage rings. Those are also good relics.”
Afeng beside him reminded him.
“No relics, but there will definitely be two corpses later.”
Qi Huang replied with ill intent.
“Wait, young master, don’t be impulsive, you’ll die. We two weak women can’t save you.”
Liu Yingyue quickly tried to stop her.
“Don’t worry, my dear wife! I definitely won’t die, but they are all dead. Hurry and close your eyes, be careful not to be scared by the blood.”
Qi Huang warned.
“Yes, yes, yes, hurry and close your eyes. I don’t want to leave any psychological shadow on my future concubine, as it’s not conducive to pregnancy.”
Afeng echoed.
“…”
Liu Yingyue was helpless and had no choice but to turn to Duan Feng and his son with a bitter face, pleading, “Uncle Duan, he is, after all, a client of our auction house, and he’s selling items as popular as Cat’s Eye Tears. You should know how important they are to us. Please be merciful.”
“Don’t worry, before I kill him, I will definitely make him reveal the source of the Cat’s Eye Tears.”
Duan Feng remained unmoved and urged Qi Huang, “Stop the nonsense, are you ready? I’ll just sit here and not move, come and kill me?”
“Everyone heard it, this is his own request, so don’t blame me!”
Qi Huang first made a disclaimer, then stretched her limbs, and then walked towards Duan Feng.
Liu Yingyue and Xia Wei couldn’t bear to watch and closed their beautiful eyes, unable to bear seeing a sixteen-year-old boy die on the spot.
“Done!”
A moment later, Qi Huang’s voice rang out again.
“What’s done?”
Liu Yingyue and Xia Wei opened their eyes in confusion to see.
