"I'm no longer a child!!"

Zheng-Fu's voice immediately interrupted her. When he heard the girl's words combined with her contempt and the glints in her eyes when looking at him, Zheng-Fu knew exactly what she was thinking.

"You're not a child, but you're only twelve! (+_+)?" the girl said, with her eyes swept up and down, gazing at Zheng-Fu.

"Twelve and so what!? You touched it last night. Do you still think I'm a child?" Zheng-Fu quickly talked about last night's situation with a proud face.

"You!!!"

"Ah… uh… uh!!! Anyway, no matter what I say, the truth is still the truth. But if you want to confirm whether I'm a child or not, come to me in my room tonight, and I'll show you the truth."

"You!!! Obscene guy!!!" said Qi-Fu-Er, who was baffled by Zheng-Fu's confusing words. When she regained her focus, she immediately stomped her feet furiously and embarrassingly.

"All right, I won't pick on you anymore. Let's go now!" Zheng-Fu immediately took the girl's hand and spoke to her politely, with a warm and gentle expression.

"Um…"

Qi-Fu-Er, who was hurled by Zheng-Fu when he took her hand, was shocked at first. But upon seeing Zheng-Fu's gentle and warm expression, her anger was gone. She gave him a positive response and gently nodded. Then, she bowed her head shyly.

After spending some time bantering, the couple eventually walked out of the mansion, heading towards the direction of the newly expanded land first because it was an area that Zheng-Fu had never seen before. Along the way, Zheng-Fu saw his clan's disciples passing by, but not so many of them because everyone was more occupied with their own training.

Over the past several months, the younger generations of the clan had greatly improved their skills. Especially those of his generation, everyone was already at the medium level of the Foundation Building stage. Only Tian-Qi and Da-Lun were at the advanced level of the Foundation Building stage. They were both gifted, so they progressed faster than the others.

"The skill level of the clan's members is still too low compared to those of the middle-class families in the big cities!"

Zheng-Fu evaluated the skill level of each person he walked past. It made him sad because, even though his family was one of the five great clans in this metropolitan area, it was not comparable to the middle-class families in major cities.

"But isn't it better than before?" Qi-Er's voice rang out when she heard Zheng-Fu's words.

"It's fine, but it's still not enough because there are many mighty people on the continent. But I promise to bring my clan back to its full strength within two years. No, it's got to be even stronger."

Zheng-Fu spoke with a serious expression. He already had a plan to use the Qi energy stone inside his Immortal Cave to nurture back the energy for his family members.

"No matter what happens, I will always be by your side!" The girl spoke in a gushing voice, and her posture was bashfully twisted. Her charm also attracted the surrounding men. They all stared at her with admiration.

"That's Miss Qi-Fu-Er. Wow! How beautiful she is!!"

"Yes, she is! Am I dead? Is that why I'm seeing such an angel!?"

"And who's that, the one standing next to her?"

All of a sudden, the dreamy mood disappeared when they saw Zheng-Fu standing next to the young girl. They could not help but feel jealous because they did not even have the courage to talk to her or even get close to her, but who was this kid who dared to be beside her?

"Huh! I'll deal with this idiot myself!"

Of course, when someone was not happy, there would always be someone who wanted to step up and show their arrogance. A young man, who had just walked by and saw them, spoke with a pompous gesture. He swept his gaze around before immediately walking up to Zheng-Fu and Qi-Fu-Er.

"Hello, Miss Qi," he immediately greeted Qi-Fu-Er as soon as he reached them. Then he looked insultingly at Zheng-Fu, looked back at the girl, and said, "Where are you going? May I take you there?" He said, with his head held high.

"No, thank you so much... I've already got someone accompanying me. No need to bother you." The girl responded in a smooth, steady, and nonchalant tone.

"Got someone already?" The young man knew that would be her response, but he still pretended to be ignorant and baffled, and then he looked at Zheng-Fu before saying, "This kid!!? Oh, beautiful Miss Qi, I think you'd better go with me. Let this kid go play with other kids!!!" He said this and looked at Zheng-Fu with an insulting expression and an irritating smile.

The others around them were upset by his actions because this young man always liked to act arrogantly and bully people who were weaker than him. And more importantly, he liked to suck up to the stronger ones so that they would support him.

"Brother! She said she didn't want to go with you, so why are you still shamelessly standing here? Go away!!!" said Zheng-Fu, waving his hand, chasing him in a stirring manner.

"You!!!"

The young man immediately blew his top when he heard Zheng-Fu's words because the boy's words made everyone stare at him. They put their hands over their mouths so that they would not laugh out loud, for they were pleased with Zheng-Fu's words.

"You bastard, do you know who I am?" In embarrassment, he became extremely angry and bragged about himself in order to scare Zheng-Fu. He did that since he had never seen Zheng-Fu before. And for him, of course, just by mentioning his name, everyone would be afraid of him.

"How would I know you, big brother!? You don't even know yourself. How would I know you?"

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Oops!!

All of a sudden, laughter rang out because everyone could no longer restrain themselves. Zheng-Fu's words were very much appreciated by them. It was also a word beyond their wits to say themselves. But the laughing did not last long. They quickly put their hands over their mouths again because the young man threw his vengeful stare at everyone.

"It wasn't me!!"

"I will not interfere with this!!"

"Umm… I can feel that it's time to go home!!"

"You're right! I have the rice cooked at home. I must go check on the rice!!"

Everyone was looking for excuses and walked away immediately, leaving behind only a few nosy people. Despite their fears, these people had more fun prying into others' affairs.

"Boy, I'll let you know that I..."

"No, I don't want to know," Zheng-Fu quickly raised his hand to interrupt the young man before turning to the girl, saying, "I don't have time to find out about you. I still have a lot more to do with her today." Zheng-Fu finished speaking with a sweet smile toward Qi-Fu-Er.

Zheng-Fu's actions made the young man furious with a boiling rage. Because not only had he been humiliated, but he was also being ignored. And the one who did it to him was not of the same generation as he was, nor was he his senior, but only a young boy. So, this meant that his famous reputation was ruined today because of a little boy. He was so furious that he lost it.

"Kid, today I will teach you some manners." The young man spoke while immediately punching straight into Zheng-Fu's face.

"Look. He's starting the fight!!"

"That boy definitely won't survive. Poor kid. He must be the new arrival, so he doesn't know that it's Wang-Gia."

The clan's nosy disciples noisily discussed the fate that Zheng-Fu was about to meet. They all looked at him with pity. They thought Zheng-Fu would not make it out alive because Wang-Gia was already at the sixth level of the Foundation Building stage.

Sigh!!

"It won't happen if he just stays where he is."

Phew!!!

Thump!!!

Urgh!!!

But suddenly, Wang-Gia's body, which had come charging in to punch Zheng-Fu, was unknowingly thrown back against a wall several meters away. And he coughed out a mouthful of blood.

"Wha… What… What's happening?"

(⊙_⊙;) <- The expression on the bystanders' faces.

Everyone was standing there speechless because no one knew what had just happened to Wang-Gia. From what they saw, Wang-Gia was surging into Zheng-Fu, and then his body flew back and hit the wall so hard that he coughed out a mouthful of blood before passing out. And the other guy did not do anything; he just stood there, and that was all they saw.

"Can anyone tell me what just happened?"

"How would I know? I'm standing next to you!!"

"What happened to him? How did he fly back and hit the wall? Perhaps it is divine punishment because he tried to harass a poor boy like me." Zheng-Fu said while making a sad face and pretending not to know what happened.

Even Qi-Fu-Er did not know what had happened to Wang-Gia. Although she knew that Wang-Gia could not harm Zheng-Fu, she did not see Zheng-Fu do anything to Wang-Gia besides just standing there. He did not even unleash a small streak of energy. Still, Wang-Gia was thrown back, splashing against a wall.

"Did you do that?" The girl was very sure it was Zheng-Fu's doing. But she just did not know how he did it. So, she turned to ask him to make sure.

"No, I did not. I have no idea… Really!!!" Zheng-Fu still pretended to make an innocent face and kept refusing.

Tch!!!

"If you don't tell me, I won't go with you!!" the girl said with her head raised as if she was now sulking.

Σ( ° △ °|||)︴

"Oh… no!! I admit it. I did it. I surrender!!!" Zheng-Fu immediately confessed. But before he spoke, he used his Qi energy to create a veil to prevent others from hearing what he said.

"It's really you who did that. But how did you do it? I didn't see you do anything?"

The girl wondered when Zheng-Fu had acted because she only saw Zheng-Fu standing there.

"After he flung himself, I attacked him with lightning speed. It was so fast that you couldn't detect it with your bare eyes. It was no surprise that you couldn't see it since your energy stage was much lower than mine." Zheng-Fu spoke proudly with his chest puffed out because her skill level was higher than his back then, but now his level was much higher than hers.

Higher…!!!?
