Chapter 2: Item Upgrade Technique

Enduring the severe pain in his body, Bai Yunfei slowly stood up from the ground then looked in stupefaction at that ferocious youngster in front of him.

“How… How could I do that kind of thing? Just now, it seemed those movements were only natural. I… What’s going on?”Now Bai Yunfei had regained his consciousness completely. But when he recalled his attitude in front of that young girl moments ago, he really did not dare to believe that he himself had behaved like that… Were these young masters and young ladies from wealthy families people that someone like him could offend? They simply would not care about the life of a commoner like him!

Thinking of this, Bai Yunfei stood up from the ground with some difficulties. Not daring to look at the 2 people before him, he bowed humbly, saying: “I’m sorry, young lady… I really didn’t intend to offend you. I hope a great person like you would forgive me…”

“Forgive you? You lowly pleb, do you think my little sister Meng’er is someone you can touch? Your lowly life will end right here, right now!”Grinning hideously, Zhang Yang stared at Bai Yunfei like he was a dead man. He started to stride towards him, blue veins popping out on his right fist. With every step he took, his right arm seemed to grow a bit larger.

Bai Yunfei slightly looked up. As soon as he made eye contact with Zhang Yang, he felt a stabbing pain in his head. A quiver coming from the depths of his soul swept through his entire body, making him drop to and sit on the ground again.In his eyes, Zhang Yang, who was walking towards him, seemed to have turned into a terrifying demon who was rushing at him with extended sharp claws and could squash him to death like an ant with just a light squeeze.

“Zhang Yang, stop… Did I ever say I wanted him dead?”Just when Yunfei felt that he was about to collapse, a heavenly voice rose. The pressure on his body immediately eased a little.

Zhang Yang halted his footsteps, turned around to look at Liu Meng and said doubtfully: “Meng… Liu Meng, this pleb offended you so he should die, shouldn’t he? I’ll teach him a lesson for you to vent your anger.”

Liu Meng slightly frowned and cast a somewhat displeased look at Zhang Yang, saying: “I am not ‘yours’, please pay a bit more attention when you talk…” After that, she cast a seemingly inadvertent look backwards and continued: “Plus it doesn’t seem to me that this person was pretending he was in a trance. Moreover, even though he offended me, there’s no need to take his life either…”

Bai Yunfei gazed at Liu Meng with a somewhat stupefied expression on his face: “She… is pleading for mercy for me? What a reasonable young lady from a wealthy family. She’s like a fairy…”

“In addition, he already took a kick from you just now. He’s seriously injured too. Let’s consider that he’s been punished.”Liu Meng looked at that tangluhu skewer bought by Bai Yunfei just then, which had dropped to the ground. Perhaps because she thought of something, her eyes glittered for a moment. She unexpectedly smiled at Yunfei: “Ha ha, besides, he already compensated me with tanghulu. It’s just that you knocked it down…”

As Bai Yunfei saw this smile, his heart unexpectedly started to beat faster in an uncontrolled manner. His face also burned a bit. His head felt somewhat dizzy as well: “She… is really beautiful…”

Seeing Liu Meng go as far as to smile at a lowly commoner, Zhang Yang’s eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness again. He said: “How can we let him go so easily? At least that hand must be chopped off! I…”

“Yang’er!”An awe-inspiring voice suddenly interrupted Zhang Yang. That middle-aged man, who had been some distance behind the two of them originally, had got in front of them.

“Father!”

“Uncle.”

Both Zhang Yang and Liu Meng said respectfully — This man was none other than Zhang Yang’s father, the master of the Zhang family, Zhang Zhenshan.

“Meng’er is right. As a soul cultivator, how can you bicker like this with this kind of people? You even want to kill him in the street. Are you not afraid of causing the Zhang family to lose face?!”That middle-aged man reprimanded, seemingly rather discontent with his son’s behavior.

A moment ago, Bai Yunfei was taken aback when he heard Zhang Yang said he wanted to cut down one of his hands. Now, hearing the this middle-aged man say so, he immediately let out a breath of relief.But at this moment, that middle-aged man slightly cast a glance at him. In just the blink of an eye, Yunfei suddenly felt as if his own body was in an ice cellar. Even his soul was trembling. An oppressive aura many times greater than that of Zhang Yang surrounded his body completely, making it exceptionally hard for him to even breathe.

Fortunately, this kind of feeling disappeared in an instant. Yunfei was breathing heavily as if he was exhausted with bean-sized beads of sweat sliding down his face nonstop.

“Your mother is still waiting for our return. Don’t delay again.” Seeing that his son was still somewhat dissatisfied despite saying nothing, Zhang Zhenshan said casually: “If your anger is still not vented… it’s okay to let your servants teach this guy a lesson.”

Zhang Yang did not dare to say anything anymore. He gave the servants on one side a hint with his eyes. This party then continued to go towards the city’s center.

There were two servants who did not leave with them and, instead, ran towards Bai Yunfei with a ferocious expression. Bai Yunfei had heard Zhang Zhenshan’s words just then so he knew that it was impossible not to take this beating today. If he resisted, there would be a very high chance that he would be injured even more severely. So he had no choice but to curl up, protect his head and let these two men beat him up for a short period of time.

Having gone a long distance, Zhang Yang slightly cast a look backwards in an unnoticeable manner, his eyes filled with jealousy and hatred. But when he turned back to Liu Meng, he immediately assumed the image of an elegant young nobleman and continued to politely introduce Luoshi City to her.

Dragging his heavy body, Bai Yunfei moved back home bit by bit then pushed open that tottering door. There was only a simple crude bed inside the narrow house. The bright moonlight was shining through the several big holes in the roof so it was not very dark inside the house either.

Everything sellable in the house had already been sold. Originally he had had another house next door but it had been sold as well.
