Returning from the Immortal World - Chapter 733

Chapter 733: Contrary To Expectation

The shemale, Wu Tong, was a cruel and ruthless character, having committed many killings and climbed out of the pile of a dead bodies countless times, and yet, there was never a occasion that made him desperate. He used to believe that the Heavens would never seal off all the ways out, for there would always be a chance to preserve his life as long as he sacrificed everything to fight for it.

At this moment, however, he was despairing. He could tell the graveness of the situation as he seemed to have trespassed the dangerous Dragons pond and Tigers den—courting trouble on someone he could not afford to. Just the appearance of the two men in front of him and the other one on the roof gave him the tingling sensation that he was trapped in the camp of a mighty army. What was unfathomable to him was that the seemingly ordinary man turned out to have a dreadful power.

Speed and strength were originally his forte, but the blitzkrieg, thunderblast-like actions of these people made it difficult for him to breathe.

"You… are all of you Tang Xiu's men?"

Wu Tong wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth and stared at the two men around with vigilance, and asked with a sharp tone. However, just as his voice faded away, his pupils suddenly shrank when he saw Mo Awu floating down from the roof. That's right, he was floating—defying the physics and going against scientific reasons. It was like gravitation had no effect on him as his feet trod on the ground as though he was walking on cotton.

Mo Awu's cold eyes gazed at him as he indifferently spoke, "Give up and be obedient if you don't want to suffer more pain. Follow me."

"Where to?" Wu Tong clenched his fist.

"To see our Boss," said Mo Awu.

Wu Tong quickly grabbed three darts from his waist and coldly said, "Do you really have the confidence to make me stay here? I'm sure I can bury you with me if I fight with all I have."

Mo Awu looked at him with contempt and lightly said, "You don't want to cooperate? Let's do it in a rough way, then. Stun him down. I'll go to see the Boss first."

With that said, he left under Wu Tong's glaring gaze.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two figures instantly flashed toward Wu Tong. Their speed was extremely fast and even faintly reached the limit the naked eyes could see. Amidst the flashing afterimages, Wu Tong clenched his teeth and threw the darts in his hand. Dart throwing was a unique skill he was very confident about, as he never missed to kill the target within a ten meters' range.

Schhwaff! Schhwaff! Schhwaff!

The darts pierced the afterimages as the two auras of Jurassic beasts shrouded him, followed by the terrifying speed and strength that were vividly displayed by the punches of these two men. Wu Tong felt like he had become a human sandbag without the slightest strength to fight back. He could only feel the constant heavy blows hitting him, causing his injuries to become more severe.

"I…"

He was in complete despair and wanted to yield, but the man's fist hammered his mouth and he could not spit out another word. After ten seconds of staying firm and strong, he lost consciousness in despair and fear, as heavy punches knocked him down.

Inside the General Manager Office of the Paradise Manor, Tang Xiu sipped hot tea while embracing Lulu's tender body. He had released his spiritual sense to observe the scenes outside, watching as Ladyboy Wu Tong got beaten. Inwardly, he was rather surprised. Why would the runner-up of the underground fighting secretly track him?

"There's a situation here, Boss." Mo Awu's voice came outside the door.

Tang Xiu patted Lulu's thigh and said, "Bring him to me! He has been following me for quite long. I'll talk to him."

"Understood!" Replied Mo Awu, and then there was no other sound anymore.

Tang Xiu then found that Ouyang Lulu did not get up, and instead held his arm that coiled around her neck. With the special fragrance of a woman, yet nestled herself in his arm like a lazy kitten made Tang Xiu be at a loss whether he had to cry or laugh, and said, "Lulu, get up! I gotta deal with an important matter."

"They are not here yet!" Lulu coquettishly said. "Nesting in your arm is very cozy, you know. I really don't wanna to move. Honey, tell me. If we become fossils like this and maintain such a posture until the oceans dry up and the rocks decay, it would be very great, right?"

Tang Xiu faintly smiled and replied, "Assuming our feelings grow for a long time, they will last for all eternity."

Ouyang Lulu was stunned and immediately kissed Tang Xiu's face and sweetly smiled, "I never thought such a sentence would jump out of you. Alright! I'll sit at the side to watch."

After a while, Mo Awu came to the office with the fainted Ladyboy Wu Tong. Under Tang Xiu's order, he woke up Wu Tong and then immediately walked to the side.

"Where's this?"

After Wu Tong regained consciousness, he quickly observed his surroundings and instantly determined that this place was where Tang Xiu and his woman were staying in.

Tang Xiu took out a cigarette as Ouyang Lulu swiftly grabbed a lighter and lit it for him. After taking two puffs, only then did Tang Xiu set his eyes on the badly battered and swollen faced Wu Tong who still looked very vigilant, and said, "The runner-up of the underground fighting competition, Ladyboy Wu Tong. I'm quite curious here, what made you come here all of a sudden, more so that you've been stalking and monitoring me?"

Wu Tong shot a deep gaze at Tang Xiu. He had seen countless Big Bosses with amazing wealth, deep and strong backgrounds, and a lot of experts under their employment. But none of them could make him dread them. However much he tried to observe Tang Xiu, he could not find anything special about this guy at all.

"If I were to tell you that it was just out of curiosity, would you believe it?" Wu Tong was silent for a while before asking.

"I don't buy it." Tang Xiu shook his head. "You're in a bad state and situation, while loads of those rich men in China are probably looking for you as of now."

Hmph. Wu Yi contemptuously spoke. "What skills do they have? They are simply dreaming of they want to find me."

"Self-confidence is not equal to being conceited, mind you. It seems that you have quite the energy and confidence," said Tang Xiu. "So, did you notice me because of Han Qingwu?"

"That's right." Wu Tong nodded. "Ice Phoenix is very formidable and her strength and combat force are beyond the limits of human cognition. I quietly followed her leaving with you after the underground fighting competition a couple days ago. But then I had to stay low and avoid the harassments of some suicidal clowns for some time. Afterward, I came to Shanghai and found that you have a deep relationship with Ice Phoenix. But she just went back to her routine, going to work and home, so I just planned to observe you. Never did I think that… you're actually not an ordinary person."

"When did you start stalking me?" Asked Tang Xiu.

"This afternoon," answered Wu Tong.

This noon?

Tang Xiu's brows were slightly pressed and a light flashed in his eyes. He first noticed Wu Tong stalking him after finishing lunch and on his way to the Paradise Manor. Little did he expect that this guy had been keeping an eye on him from noon. Apparently, this man was very skillful in tracking and concealment.

Tang Xiu then asked, "So, what is your purpose in tracking Han Qingwu and me?"

"I just wondered whether you know things about Han Qingwu, and where her Master is," said Wu Tong with a serious expression. "She's very young, so her master must be very formidable. I want to become stronger, thus I want to become his disciple."

To be stronger he wants to become a disciple?

His answer was an unexpected surprise to Tang Xiu. After carefully scrutinizing him, he shook his head and said with a smile, "What she learned is not something you can learn. Your body has been damaged. It can be said that you have a mild deformity. Hence, I'm afraid you can only stop here on your martial path if there is no huge fortuitous encounter."

"You are saying…"

Wu Tong looked down and then quickly looked up and stared at Tang Xiu.

"That's right." Tang Xiu nodded and explained, "Your Yang Qi has been leaking out, while the pseudo-Yin Qi incessantly impairs your body by consuming the system of your vital essence, Qi, and spirit, and thus greatly lessening your lifespan. You should be less than 40 years old at present, meaning you have passed your prime. I'm not afraid to leak out the heavenly secret if I must, but you have only a decade or two to live. It's best for you to take care of yourself well!"

One or two decades? To live less than 60 years old?

Wu Tong's heart shivered as he glared at Tang Xiu and said, "You just want to freak me out!"

"If you think I'm just scaring you, I can't do anything about it. Off you go then! Just think about it when you've calmed down, whether there's something getting worse and worse in your body in recent years. Your condition can never be compared with the previous state in your prime regardless of how hard you try. After you've thought it through later, just find a comfortable place to enjoy your old age and wait for death to come!"

A shiver came over Wu Tong's heart. He did not have to calm his mind to realize that Tang Xiu was correct. The state of his body was getting worse in recent years, and even the strength he could unleash at present was much worse than the power he erupted with when was on the death line several years ago. To keep drifting along abroad for more than 20 years otherwise became unlikely and he eventually returned to China, so much so that it was unlikely for him to even take part in the in the underground fighting competition.

He wanted to return to the peak and wished to fight other martial arts experts to sharpen himself. The result was that his recovery rate was getting slower and slower, and the power he could unleash was getting worse.

"… You… how did you learn about it?" Wu Tong constantly changed his expression and finally asked.

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself." Tang Xiu smiled. "Maybe you only know that my name is Tang Xiu, but you don't know one of my identities. I'm a Chinese medical practitioner, and I'm also hailed as the Young Divine Doctor."

A miracle-working doctor?

Wu Tong's body trembled as he incredulously looked at Tang Xiu and exclaimed, "How is this possible? I know a bit about the situation of the Chinese medical field in China. How could one become a Divine Doctor in his twenties? Even Hua Tuo and Bian Que were not able to achieve such a feat!"

"You should have heard the sentence that the universe has no limit and knowledge is infinite, while there are always people better and stronger than you however strong you are," said Tang Xiu with confidence. "Something that others can't do doesn't mean it applies to me."

Wu Tong only stared at Tang Xiu for a long time, before he knelt down in front of him under the watchful gazes of Mo Awu and Ouyang Lulu. With a pleading and begging expression, he said, "Divine Doctor, please save me."

Eh, he bought it?

Tang Xiu wore a strange expression when he looked at Wu Tong, and was at a loss whether he had to cry or laugh inside. Though he was indeed very confident in his ability to treat illnesses, yet it was not something worthy enough for Wu Tong to act like this, no?

Tang Xiu lowered his hand as a stream of qi wrapped Wu Tong and instantly pulled him up. After that, he said, "I can't help you, so off you go! But if you can find some medicinal herbs that could treat your yin deficiency, reinforcing body fluids, nourishing the blood and your kidney, your body can be nursed back to health and warmed up, and thus can increase your lifespan. Be it so… with learning this martial art!"

Chapter 734: Frantic Bee and Lascivious Butterfly

Tang Xiu was not the kind to who return evil with good, more so that he was disinclined to heal such a trash who had schemed against him. He motioned Mo Awu, who then took Wu Tong away from the office.

"Honey, did you accompany Han Qingwu to watch that underground fighting match?" Ouyang Lulu asked with a smile after she shifted her gaze the moment the door was shut.

"Yeah, I went with her." Tang Xiu nodded. "She was a participant in this year's domestic underground fighting competition and went through the finals. I went with her so as to avoid any accidents happening to her. Fortunately, not only was she safe and sound, but she also got the first place. Ah, that's right. That shemale a moment ago was the runner-up."

After hearing this, Ouyang Lulu looked a bit dissatisfied and commented even though she was shocked inwardly, "You did not take me to see such a thrilling event. You know, I once watched this kind of underground fighting match in the past. It was very thrilling."

There was a strange mood surging up inside Tang Xiu's heart. He thought that she would be jealous that he accompanied Han Qingwu to participate in the underground fighting match. He was under the imagination that she would see him favor one of his women. But apparently, she clearly did not have that idea but rather blamed him for not taking her as well.

After letting out a hollow chuckle, he reached out to pull Ouyang Lulu to his arm and kiss her, promising, "I'll definitely take you if there are other thrilling events in the future."

"Heh, that's better!" Ouyang Lulu nodded and smilingly asked, "Anyways, when are we going to see Sis Xiaowan?"

We?

Tang Xiu could not help laughing and said, "You're the Big Boss of this Paradise Manor, why do you want to stop by, anyway? Are you not afraid you will make those Sis Xiaowan's fellow students feel uncomfortable?"

"Heh, I don't care however uneasy they are and what they do. It's fine as long as Sis Xiaowan is satisfied and pleased. Come on now, hurry up!" Said Ouyang Lulu with a smile.

With that said, she called the Manager and ordered him to take two bottles of Gods Nectar and wait on the first floor, and then dragged Tang Xiu out of the office. When they came to the first floor and got the Gods Nectar, Ouyang Lulu cheerfully pulled Tang Xiu to the Catering Section.

The Catering Section was the Fragrance Hall.

Chen Xiaowan was a different person than in the past, with leaps and bounds of progress in status and position successively. She was now the Vice President of the Brisk Trading Group, and this was no secret among her classmates. Therefore, her more than 20 classmates gave her a warm greeting which made her feel overwhelmed by the unexpected flattery.

As a matter of fact, she also attended several reunions with her fellow students in the university before, but their reaction was very weak and only several of them willing to get along and talk with her. Each time after the reunion ended, each and every one of them only had some chit chat via QQ or WeChat in the next few days, and rarely had other contacts.

Wei Guotao was someone who pursued Chen Xiaowan for a long time and the one who failed to get the title of Mr. Perfect and the Campus Beau. He came from a well-off family and was a bit arrogant in nature—arrogance that Chen Xiaowan had been disgusted with at the time.

At present, Wei Guotao had become the owner of a textile mill and was considered as a scion who took on the mantle of his father in the industry, and one who grew up with a golden spoon with a cozy, extravagant life as a second generation nouveau riche. After going through struggles and challenging experiences in society, however, he turned a lot mature, and the grinding of society and the world had grounded and smoothed his haughtiness. Back then, his failure in pursuing Chen Xiaowan left a knot inside his heart. Later on, he thought to continue pursuing her, but then learned that she already had a boyfriend and thus gave up the idea. More so that he now had the status and wealth, so he would not lack women at all.

However, seeing and meeting Chen Xiaowan again resurrect the regret inside him. As he saw her looking more mature and more beautiful than before, he could not calm down the surging tide inside his heart despite having indulged himself in "joy" and abandoning himself in pleasures in recent years.

"Beauty Chen, you have to be punished by drinking three cups of wine for coming late. You can't be exempted from the punishment even if you have become the Vice President of a big company!" Wu Xiaoping, most called Little Fatty Wu, attentively pulled the next chair for Chen Xiaowan and cheerfully said.

"I'm not a man like you who can withstand spirits, and I'll probably faint on Ji Jie's arm if I drink three glasses of wine," said Chen Xiaowan with a smile.

The one sitting next to her, Ji Jie, got up and hugged her. After pulling Chen Xiaowan down, she laughed and said, "Wow, getting drunk and faint in my arms, eh? This young lady will definitely take good care of you."

"Go! Go! Just go!" Chen Xiaowan said with a smile.

Wei Guotao was the leader of this gathering party, and he said with a smile, "Xiaowan, even if you have to be punished yourself with three cups of wine, you still have to sing a song when we go to the entertainment section later. If my memory serves me right, your wonderful voice once attracted many frantic bees and lascivious butterflies back when we were still in Uni."

Wu Xiaoping let out a strange smile and smirked, "Eh, Wei Guotao, weren't you also a frantic bee that time? Or were you a butterfly?"

Wei Guotao's breath stagnated and immediately cursed, "Bah, go to hell, Fatty. You're really damned. You just touched a sore spot of mine. Do you not believe you will be the first to get drunk?"

"Who's afraid of who, huh?" Wu Xiaoping raised his head. "I don't give a damn whether having two or three bottles is too few, or eight to ten bottles is too much, I will accompany you drinking till the end. That is if you dare. Besides, it's a rare occasion to have the chance to show off like a real man before Beauty Chen. So it's absolutely impossible to be terrified at this time, no?"

"Holy shit. Shame on you, Fatty!" Wei Guotao mocked him.

The happy atmosphere was much better than in the old times, and Chen Xiaowan did not expect that everyone was not secretly comparing their achievements or showing off in this year's class reunion. Maybe as years go by and everyone turned older, they became a lot more mature!

BAM…

The door to the Fragrance Hall was pushed hard as a well-dressed tall man came in from. Yet, his originally handsome face was ruined by the Panda eye mark on his left eye.

"Huh? What happened to you, Lu Bo?"

Everyone inside the Fragrance Hall looked confused, while Wei Guotao hurriedly approached and asked. Lu Bo excused himself to the restroom and he was still fine about seven-plus minutes ago. Why did he look like this when he came back?

Lu Bo's expression was a bit gloomy, but he squeezed out a smile in the face of everyone's attention and said, "I just met two bastards who drank too much, bumped into me and cursed at me. I hit them first so I didn't suffer many losses."

Everyone exchanged dismayed looks as they did not expect Lu Bo to be so unlucky to bump into drunken guests and even have a fight with them.

"Are you alright? Do you want us to escort you to the hospital to get some treatment?" Wei Guotao asked.

"No need." Lu Bo shook his head.

"Do you know their backgrounds?" Asked Wei Guotao. "Wanna find them and settle the accounts?"

"No. No need," said Lu Bo quickly. "I have already cleaned them up, and I'm sure their companions have sent them to the hospital already! Alright, it's not easy for everyone to gather together, so don't let this minor issue sweep away our good time, alright? Come, come, everyone. Let's have a toast…"

Wei Guotao slightly furrowed his brows, because he could see a faint panicked expression in Lu Bo's eyes. He secretly raised his vigilance. He knew Lu Bo perfectly well. He was a mature and steady guy who did not particularly give any mind about face and reputation. His only shortcoming was that he was just a bit timid.

Could it be that there are problems coming up?

Wei Guotao thought about it for a moment and then immediately glanced at Chen Xiaowan, who followed with the wine glass in her hand. Seeing her again breathed life in his heart again. He knew that she had broken up with her boyfriend and he was also still single. He might have ambiguous relationships with many women, but those women were just after his money and he had no feelings for them whatsoever. He was very much willing to leave those women to be with Chen Xiaowan, marrying her, having children, and living a tranquil and steady life.

After gulping down a glass of wine, Wei Guotao pondered for a while before he got up and went towards Chen Xiaowan, as he bent down and whispered, "Chen Xiaowan, let's go out."

Chen Xiaowan gawked and then glanced to Wu Xiaoping and Ji Jie at her sides, and saw them teasingly winking at her. She immediately rolled her eyes at them and then followed Wei Guotao out of Fragrance Hall.

"You… something happened?!" As they came to the corridor outside, Chen Xiaowan looked at the other side of the corridor where seven or eight were coming toward them in a very threatening attitude, making her slightly furrow her brows.

Wei Guotao also saw this group of people and realized in a flash that they should be coming for Lu Bo, since the two in the lead were limping and had swollen noses and faces- they had obviously been beaten by someone.

"Xiaowan, this is my car key. My car is parked in the parking lot outside, help me get the two bottles of wine from the trunk." Wei Guotao took out a car key and stuffed it into Chen Xiaowan's hand.

"Huh?"

Chen Xiaowan was at a loss at what to do. Little did she expect that Wei Guotao would call her out just for this matter. At first, she had a good impression on him since he had good looks, and though this guy's haughtiness was widely known in the past, he never did anything too outrageous. He also never pretended to look great in front of his classmates, nor did he show off his achievements.

But at this time, a burst of disgust bred inside her heart.

Why? Why does he want me to get something for him? Is it because he is some small Boss, while I'm just an employee?

Chen Xiaowan's expression was a bit unsightly, yet she still took the car key. She seldom turned down others, but she also made up her mind to make an excuse to leave after taking these two bottles of wine.

Astute as he was, Wei Guotao could tell that Chen Xiaowan misunderstood him from the sudden change of her expression. But now was not the time to explain everything to her, so he just watched Chen Xiaowan's back as she left. After that, he immediately dashed back to the Fragrance Hall, closed door from the inside and then shouted, "Everyone! BE QUIET! We got a sudden situation here, so get prepared quickly! Lu Bo, I'm afraid those two guys you fought with before are now bringing some people over here."

"WHAT?"

Lu Bo's face turned very nasty. The more than 20 of their classmates in the hall also had a change in expression. They had been living in society governed by laws and rarely encountered violent incidents. They were afraid to get involved and implicated if a fight were to break out.

Wei Guotao quickly glanced at everyone around and secretly sighed. He had gone through many things and encountered many violent incidents in the past. He was once stared at and hunted at nightclubs and got badly beaten by some people. But it was because of that experience that he had a stable and calm mind at this moment. He then rushed to the corner and used the intercom to ask the waiter to notify the security guards.
