Chapter 4 – Challenge
Translated by James
Feeling rounds and rounds of curious or provocative stares on him, Ji Li began to have a headache. He knew that this time he cannot escape from the annoyances.
With all these jealous youngsters, trying to reason with words was impossible.
“He is Ji Li?”
“Ordinary, nothing special. Although not ugly, he’s not handsome either. With a strength of 700 jin, he might be pretty good for an outsider but for us, he’s just average.”
“Strength of 700 jin is nothing. Who knows what kind of love pill did he gave to Miss Rain Bamboo to make her fall for him.”
A lot of the tribesmen have started assessing JiLi from head to toe.
“Brother Li, you’re back!” Rain Bamboo have noticed Ji Li. She displayed a face like a smiling flower, full of soft gentleness, where one cannot imagine that her previous look was that of a female fiend.
With a thump thump noise, those long legs in motion brought Rain Bamboo toward Ji Li. She grabs Ji Li’s arms with a sense of familiarity and with a coquettish tone said: “Today’s a big day for us; I think brother Li won't blame me for acting on my own, right?”
Seeing such a scene, the whole crowd was shocked with eyes wide open. Rain Bamboo's current womanly display was completely different from that violent girl earlier. Everyone was completely raged.
“Enough, you can stop pretending. I was already here when you were beating that person up.” Seeing Rain Bamboo holding onto him arm, Ji Li swung his arm away from her grasp. He knew this girl’s intentions well. Although well intended, asking in front of all these people, she obviously does not want to give him an opportunity to refuse.
“Brother Li….” Having her mind read, Rain Bamboo was a little embarrassed. But soon, she, with a scowl, turned around, stared at the crowd and said bitterly: “It’s all these people’s faults. Every one of them trying to oppose our marriage when it’s not their business…”
Upon hearing such, the crowd’s stares toward Ji Li obviously turned much colder. They cannot understand why Rain Bamboo was being so docile around him.
“What a group of hot blooded youngsters…”With all these hateful stares directed toward him, Ji Li reluctantly shook his head. Have to say, the number one beauty Rain Bamboo was indeed enough to attract hatred.
Strength and beauty, these are two things in this world that people insanely pursue.
Even he must admit that the little loli who was always by his side listening to his story had blossomed into a stunningly attractive beauty with lethal smiles and a perfect pair of legs. Those legs have even caused him to feel a bit dazzled.
One could imagine that in a few years this girl would be so devastatingly beautiful enough to be a source of calamity.
“Miss Rain Bamboo.” Right at this moment, a malicious looking triangular eyed youngster walked out.
“Ji Feng, even you wanted to speak to me?” Being disturbed, Rain Bamboo frowned. Soon, she turned around with a graceful smile to greet the youngster. But she deliberately aggravated the ‘speak to me’ part.
“Ji Feng dared not.” Having seen Rain Bamboo’s smile, this triangular eyed youngster retreated a few steps before finally continued “Miss YuZhu, we all know you are the strongest among our age group but do you really want to have a coward who will only stay behind the woman as a husband?”
“That’s right; this Ji Li cannot be comparable to the wonderful Miss Rain Bamboo.” Ji Feng’s speech quickly caused uproar with the crowd.
“Miss Rain Bamboo, we are convinced to lose against you. However, to lose against this coward who dared not step forward, we cannot be convinced.” Ji Feng spoke loudly.
“That’s right, we aren’t convinced!” All of a sudden, tons of youngsters loudly said.
“Hmph, this is between the two of us, none of you people’s concern... this is called free love, do you people understand?” Seeing these people repeatedly obstruct her, YuZhu’s face began to turn cold, her body started fuming and her eyes was growing narrower like those of a sly fox. Ji Li, who was familiar with her, knew that this was a sign before she explodes.
“Let me take care of this.” A good natured palm pulled her away.
Ji Li finally stood out.
“Brother Li.” Rain Bamboo hesitated and looked somewhat startled. From her memory, Ji Li wasn’t a person who likes dealing with things like these.
“As a man, there are certain things one must deal with.” Ji Li said lightly. After absorbing the mysterious energy, even his temperament became stronger.
Then he slowly walked out and ,with a calm look, said to the hot blooded youngsters: “Speak, what must I do to convince you guys.”
Seeing Ji Li daring to stand out, these youngsters was surprised. They naturally do not know the concept of free love. After looking at each other, Ji Feng said: “Of course to compete with us. For a wonderful girl like Miss Rain Bamboo, not just some mediocre individual could be her partner.”
“Sometimes love isn’t determined by strength.” Ji Li said insipidly. This world respected strength so obviously these people are accustomed to solving problems using force.
“That’s right. Even if you people win against brother Li, I still won’t like you people.” Rain Bamboo spoke out. Her eyes remained on Ji Li and spoke with a sentiment that others cannot understand: “Our world, you people won’t understand.”
Having seen the Rain Bamboo that’s deeply in love, the crowd was both envious and jealous. Oh how they wish to be Ji Li.
“Haha.” Ji Feng eyes were sparking with fire, he said deliberately with a provocative tone: “All in all, Ji Li you still dared not accept the fight. But even if Miss Rain Bamboo was to be cheated by you, do you think that the chief would allow her to marry a coward like you?”
“What an inferior quality provocation.” Ji Li turned toward Ji Feng and, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, step forward and said: “But I still accept your challenge.”
“Brother Li, you didn’t have to bother with these people. I can take care of them.” Said Rain Bamboo quickly after once again being startled.
“No need, you can just stand just watch from the side.” Said Ji Li shaking his head. Because of his previous memories, he attained some accomplishment on the martial arts and, after his breakthrough earlier, he have reached the pinnacle of low tier strength. Thus, not many from the inner group will scare him.
He also wanted to test his strength.
“Brother Li, why don’t you wait a bit and let me beat these guys up once and then fight them…” Rain Bamboo said in a low voice leaning toward Ji Li’s ears.
“Have some confidence in me, okay?” Ji Li doesn’t know rather to laugh or cry but he really believe that Rain Bamboo would do such a thing.
“Ji Li, stop running away. Come. Fight with I, Ji Feng, first!” Standing to the side and watching Ji Li and Rain Bamboo being so intimate, Ji Feng cannot contain his anger anymore and attacked first.
“You stand back a bit.” Seeing the incoming Ji Feng, Ji Li’s focused his attention, sent Rain Bamboo back and rushed out toward Ji Feng.
That Ji Feng was fast indeed. With a whirl whirl sound, his movement has caused a sandstorm to roll, forcing those who have been close by to stand back while he himself arrived in front of Ji Li in a couple step. Like tiger preying on its prey, his fist flew straight toward Ji Li’s face with an explosive sound.
