Chapter 199: Snake King
“Well, take a good rest after you get home in the evening. Don’t think too much. It’s over. If there is anything, you can call me.”
“Hmm,” Liu Kexin said lightly and then sighed quietly. “Brother Bing, do you think that Zhang Yang is bound to die?”
Xiao Bing did not want to deceive Liu Kexin and sighed. “Yes.”
“But… is life so worthless? The owner of that club should be very powerful, but they can’t represent the law. How can they decide the life and death of others? Although Zhang Yang did something wrong, why couldn’t they give him a chance to correct his errors and make a fresh start?”
Xiao Bing looked at Liu Kexin, touched her head gently with his hand, and said with a serious face, “Kexin, you are right. Nobody in this world can decide the life and death of others casually, but do you really think that the good and evil of mankind can change through time?”
Liu Kexin shook her head. “I don’t understand that very well.”
“Sometimes, killing people is like saving people. In ancient times, the death of Dong Zhuo showed that killing a person can save the world. Zhang Yang is just an ordinary person, so his life and death cannot affect so many people, but it is worthwhile that his death can save several people. What’s more, everyone who does something wrong needs to pay a price.”
Xiao Bing was very decisive in killing people!
Liu Kexin still couldn’t accept Xiao Bing’s ideas, but she knew that Xiao Bing was right and she was also right, but the two people were coming from different angles on this matter. Some things were difficult to distinguish between right from wrong.
“Well, Kexin, go back and have a good rest. Call me if you need help.”
“Well,” Liu Kexin answered. After getting out of the car, she waved at Xiao Bing and said with a serious face, “Brother Bing, thank you.”
Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Silly girl, aren’t we friends? Well, go in. I guess that you were frightened. You have to rest for a few days. If it is necessary, you’d better take two days off.”
“I’m all right. Bye-bye, Brother Bing.”
“Goodbye.”
When Liu Kexin returned home, she was unhappy. Her mother came out of the room with a smile and she was confused when saw Liu Kexin. “Kexin, what’s wrong? Did you have a quarrel with your boyfriend?”
“No… I’m not feeling well after drinking a little wine.”
“Oh.” Her mother breathed a sigh of relief and then became nervous again. “You seldom drink. Do you need to go to the hospital?”
“It’s all right. I’m a little sleepy. Mom, I’ll go into my room to sleep now.”
Her mother looked at Liu Kexin carefully. It seemed that she hadn’t quarreled with her boyfriend. Besides, she just saw Xiao Bing and her daughter reluctantly separate from each other downstairs. That did not look like a quarrel at all. She guessed that she really just drank too much.
After Liu Kexin walked into her room, her mother also went back to her room. Soon after, her father’s voice came out of the room. “She is happy to celebrate the festival today. It’s normal to drink a little.”
When Xiao Bing returned home, Yezi was curled up in her bedclothes like a cat, with a quilt between her legs. She looked very lovely.
Xiao Bing quietly climbed on the bed and held Yezi in his arms.
Yezi’s body was so soft and smooth, and she slept like a kitten, which filled him with love. It was hard to imagine how such a beautiful and pitiable girl could support such a big company by herself.
What happened today was totally an accident. Liu Kexin was all right. The perpetrator was punished. Xiao Bing had no sympathy for the sufferings of the man and the woman. If he hadn’t arrived there early, maybe Liu Kexin would have been raped. Such a man should be severely punished.
When Xiao Bing was sleeping with Yezi in his arms, Manager Wu had gone to the Ten Thousand Snakes Palace, which was much smaller than the Heavenly Palace. This was where Snake King, the West Heaven King, lived, and it was Snake King’s base.
After entering the hall, he saw a row of guards standing on either side of the hall. These guards, with their mouth to nose, nose to mouth, eyes not squinting, eyes cold and ruthless, were obviously all strictly trained.
Manager Wu stood in the hall, trembling with fear.
Soon afterward, a tall and strong man, with the upper part of his body naked, came out of the inner hall, and two short men followed him with their heads bowed, forming a sharp contrast.
Manager Wu knew that this tall man was the king of the underground of the west zone—Snake King, the West Heaven King.
Snake King was naked in the upper part of the body, with a long boa tattoo on his body, and there were two living snakes twisting around him. The heads of the snakes were in the palms of his hands, and the two snakes were continuously poking their tongues out.
It was said that many people who had offended Snake King were killed in the end by the two poisonous snakes, and Snake King was also a master of poisoning and had already reached a state of being immune to poison.
Snake King sat down. His eyes were sharper and more poisonous than the snakes’. He looked at Manager Wu and said slowly and orderly, “Tell me what happened.”
Manager Wu began to tell Snake King the whole story.
After listening to it, Snake King stuck out his tongue to lick his lips. His blood-red tongue looked a little bloody and cruel.
“Well, you handled it well.” Snake King sneered. “The relationship between Xiao Bing and Master Hou is very good now. We can’t offend him. Since it’s only a trivial matter, it’s all right to give him enough respect on the surface. But… the two people…”
Manager Wu said in a hurry, “The legs of the female employee were broken, and we made her leave Jiang City. In addition, we also broke Zhang Yang’s legs, and he should be in hospital now.”
“Why would the dead go to the hospital?” Snake King’s eyes were full of resentment, and he said coldly, “The snakes in the ten-thousand-snake pool want to eat human flesh. Bring him here and throw him in the pool. Give my babies a big meal.”
Manager Wu shivered and quickly said yes. The ten-thousand-snake pool was a lynching place in the Ten Thousand Snakes Palace. It was said that there were many snakes in it. These snakes were not very poisonous. Usually, people would feel paralyzed after being bitten by this kind of snake. If a living person was pushed into the pool, he would lose his resistance instantly and then would be bitten to death by these snakes, and no bones would remain.
“All right, I’m going to rest.” Snake King stood up and walked slowly toward the back hall. The two poisonous snakes wrapped around him kept staring at Manager Wu all the time. Their eyes sparkled with coldness and greed, which made Manager Wu so frightened he became stiff.
The next day, Xiao Bing called Liu Kexin. From her voice, he could tell that Liu Kexin was in a good condition. It was estimated that her fear had been relieved.
Knowing that Liu Kexin ignored his identity, Xiao Bing was also able to work as a kung fu cook in the noodle restaurant. The business of the noodle restaurant was still booming until very late in the evening, and the noodle restaurant did not pick up other business anymore. After the staff had dinner together, Xiao Bing called Gao Fei out.
Xiao Bing had never known Gao Fei’s real ability, nor had he ever asked him. But from his perspective, Gao Fei was at least a master in the Innate Realm, that is to say, he was beyond Transforming Strength.
In martial arts, acquired masters could be regarded as martial arts masters in the eyes of ordinary people. For example, people in the Transforming Strength period deserved to be considered as a martial arts masters, but it also belonged to the category of ordinary people. The boxing champions, Tyson and Ali, and Bruce Lee of Jeet Kune Do, had reached the realm of Transforming Strength. They were godlike martial arts masters in the eyes of ordinary people, but they were still far from the Innate Realm.
There was a gap between acquired and innate realms.
When they arrived at a place where no one was, Gao Fei looked at Xiao Bing coldly and said, “Let’s start!”
If Xiao Bing wanted to make continuous progress, he had to constantly challenge stronger people. Gao Fei was the only strong person who was qualified to be challenged by Xiao Bing.
Xiao Bing made a sudden step forward, and the earth trembled from it. A punch stretched out, gathering all the strength from his fist, wrist, arm, and shoulder. A sudden punch made the speed and strength of the fist all reach the best state of Xiao Bing.
His fist hit in front of Gao Fei, but Gao Fei’s expression was still very calm. He just gently extended two fingers, the index finger and middle finger, and two fingers of his right hand stretching out later hit first. Xiao Bing’s fist hit Gao Fei’s face. Meanwhile, Gao Fei’s two fingers had been pointed at the key points on Xiao Bing’s shoulder. Xiao Bing’s arm was paralyzed and hung down.
Xiao Bing was shocked. If Gao Fei knocked him away with a blow like his own, Xiao Bing would not be so shocked. On the contrary, Gao Fei handled it so easily and controlled the strength precisely. This only showed that the gap between the two men’s ability was quite wide.
The picture of Gao Fei’s two fingers moving quickly still flashed in Xiao Bing’s mind. Xiao Bing seemed to realize something in his heart as he took back his fist and sighed with emotion. “Your ability is indeed beyond the realm of Transforming Strength.”
Gao Fei did not admit it, nor did he refute it.
Xiao Bing grinned bitterly. “I’ve seen a man who was stronger than me in the last two days, but he deliberately showed his ability in front of me in order to frighten me, so I already know his real ability. But you… I still can’t see through you.”
Gao Fei calmly said, “No matter what realm I am in, I am still your employee, and you are my boss. Isn’t that true?”
“That’s true.” Xiao Bing laughed, and then asked solemnly, “Do you and Maggie work here to avoid someone?”
Gao Fei’s eyes sparkled with a bright light, and he asked calmly, “Why do you think so?”
Xiao Bing laughed and said, “In fact, it’s easy to guess. You are so strong. If you didn’t want to hide yourself, why would you be willing to work in such a small noodle house? What’s more, although Maggie is young, she’s a genius that even college students could follow to learn from. She’s unlikely to be an ordinary girl. There are reasons for you two to stay here. I can only think of one point: someone wants to catch you or hurt you. You are so strong but have to hide yourself. That shows that your opponent or his forces must be terrible.”
Gao Fei and Xiao Bing looked at each other. The forces of the two men were so different. However, Xiao Bing’s eyes did not show any retreat or fear, and he even didn’t show the low posture when facing those overly stronger than him, but he became even stronger.
Gao Fei sighed with emotion and said, “After saying so much, you are afraid that there are terrible organizations that you can’t imagine trying to deal with me. It may involve you. Are you afraid?”
