The Immortal Fire

Chapter 23: Partner or Opponent?

"I'd like to make things easier, but it looks like you guys prefer trouble."

Liu Ying grinned widely, then stiffened his fist. The five men stared at each other, slightly underestimating Liu Ying.

"Hey, it seems like she still looks so young." one of them chuckled.

Customers who are enjoying food, do not care too much about the bickering and debate that is taking place in front of them.

Liu Ying smiled wryly, "Uncle, you can't judge my fist by how young I am. You underestimate your opponent too much."

Those people laughed out loud, not taking Liu Ying's words seriously.

"Young man, whose clothes are you wearing. Your dad's shirt?"

Liu Ying became annoyed, "Who wants to taste my fist first? Remember, I'm not kidding."

"And when I win, all bills are paid off. How's it?" added Liu Ying while twirling his fist lazily.

Instead of being afraid, they laughed even louder as if Liu Ying's words were a very funny joke.

"Well, you can even get this metal." the owner of the diner showed me a round metal and had a carving on it.

That metal is an exclusive metal, only certain people have it. Usually it is used as proof that the person who owns it can eat for free at the store within the limit of five times use.

Seeing that, Liu Ying's eyes instantly glittered. Who wouldn't want to eat for free five times?

"Let's uncle, go ahead first. Wouldn't it be a shame if you lost to a young man like me?"

As their laughter stopped, one of the five men immediately advanced without carrying his machete.

"What are you, huh-!?"

The man threw a punch at Liu Ying's face, but it could be avoided easily.

Liu Ying did not hit back but instead restrained the man's hands, twisting and twisting them.

Krak-!

The man groaned as his left hand was rotated by Liu Ying easily using one hand. Liu Ying also did not appear overwhelmed.

Being annoyed that his punch did not hit the opponent, the man tried to strike Liu Ying's leg who was standing firm.

"It's not that easy!"

Liu Ying kicked the man's butt. Unwilling to linger, Liu Ying floated a bogeman right in the lower jaw of the man, causing him to be thrown backwards.

Liu Ying smiled triumphantly, raising one of his legs onto the chair.

React to all the customers who were there, run scattering to save themselves.

The servant as well as the rest of the four men were silent, "He .. he's a martial genius-!?"

Their faces turned serious, Liu Ying understood very well what they were thinking.

Without any cue they directly attacked Liu Ying at once, not accepting it with defeat. Not to forget they also carried a machete in their hands.

Liu Ying also grabbed his sword, but had no intention of taking off his sword sheath at all.

"Oho-o! You're taking me too lightly, aren't you?" Liu Ying played his fake mustache.

"Much talk-!"

They slashed a machete towards Liu Ying simultaneously within close range, they were pretty sure this time Liu Ying would not be able to dodge it.

But they were quite surprised when Liu Ying was no longer in front of them, "Bagaima-"

Bugh-h!

Bugh-h!

Plakkk-pl!

Bugh-h!

...

With the blink of an eye, the four men were already lying on the floor with their faces full of cuts and bruises.

"Who exactly is this rancid boy-?"

Due to the ache, Liu Ying pulled out a bench to sit on.

"YOU-YOU!"

The waiter was at a loss for words, he was completely outdone. Who would have thought the person he was questioning was a martial genius?

Suddenly a woman of over thirty appeared from the door. Unexpectedly the servant as well as the five men that Liu Ying had beaten up earlier, immediately bowed respectfully.

The presence of the woman attracted attention. Liu Ying stood back up as the young lady stood in their midst, wondering the identity of that person inwardly.

The woman smiled sweetly at Liu Ying, then stared intently at the servant and the five men earlier so as to make them submit in fear.

"I'm sorry for the irreverence of my subordinates."

Liu Ying scowled in surprise, yet still returned the woman's smile.

"I am Yu Niang, the owner of this restaurant."

"Sir, if you may know, who and from what college did you come from?" said the woman was friendly.

"Call me Mei You Yachi, from Mount Da An."

The waiter and the five men laughed when they heard him.

The middle-aged woman smiled wryly, "Mei You Yachi, is that really a name?"

Liu Ying nodded. If only not for disguising himself, he would definitely oppress them under the name of the Golden Lotus sect.

Stupidly Liu Ying instead mentioned a ridiculous name because of the origin of the talk. Mei You Yachi means to have no teeth, since when did Liu Ying lose his teeth?

"Sir, why are you called that?" ask the woman again.

Liu Ying thought for a moment then smiled mischievously, "Because my father is named Bu Yao Ku, my grandfather is Bu Gan Kan and my ancestor is Bu Shi Mao. So, it could be said as the name of the family heritage."

*Mei Yao Ku: (don't cry), Bu Gan Kan: (don't dare to look), Bu Shi Mao: (not a cat).

Everyone who was there was instantly blown away except for the woman, what kind of joke was this?

"Wo bugan kan ta, ta meiyou yachi. Wo shuo my buyou, ruguo ni bushi mao."

You are playing around apparently," said the woman while hinting at her subordinates to stop laughing.

*Wo bugan kan ta, ta meiyou yachi. Wo shuo my buyao, ruguo ni bushi mao. (i dare not look at him, he has no teeth. I said don't cry, if you're not a cat).

A sentence taken from the lyrics of children's songs at that time.

Liu Ying laughed offingly at the woman's sour face, "I'm sorry, Madam. I'm just kidding."

"All-you!"

"Zhu Han, take them away. Leave both of us and return to your respective jobs," the woman commanded the fierce servant earlier.

They soon passed, leaving the two men who had now sat face to face on the dining table chairs of the restaurant's customers.

The woman intends to open the conversation, "Miss-"

"I have a mustache!" cut Liu Ying pointing at the top of his lips.

"Ah, Sir. Let me guess, you're from the lotus valley?" said the woman was confident.

Liu Ying glared his eyes in surprise, "Where do you know that from?"

The middle-aged woman laughed lightly while twirling her fan with a finger.

"Easy, your speaking style is almost the same as Zhou Li's. He told me a few things about you anyway, "he said casually.

"Crazy, are you a psychic?"

With a wide grin, the woman brought her face closer while taking something out from behind her Qiankun arm.

"You think?"
