Chapter 485: You Have to Call Me Grandpa

Chapter 485: Chapter 485: You Have to Call Me Grandpa

A man as fierce as Zhou Shilong calling himself Little Dragon should have been comical.

But no one could manage a laugh.

Because the second half of his sentence was terrifying!

Young Miss!!

This girl was the Young Miss??

Zhou Shilong was the Lord of the City, a man whose very name was enough to make a crying child fall silent!

’Just who was this "Young Miss" of his?’

Zhou Shilong’s men were the quickest to react. They had clearly realized something, and looks of absolute terror spread across their faces!

THUD! THUD!

His men all dropped to their knees, roaring in unison!

"We greet you, Young Miss!!"

Lin Bao, of course, also figured out Duan Yingying’s identity. ’Holy shit, this is Prince Duan’s most beloved Little Princess!’

With a grimace, Lin Bao knelt on one knee and bowed his head low.

He finally understood where Cheng Yuan’s confidence came from! ’He actually knows Prince Duan’s Little Princess!’

Chang Lanxin was completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at Duan Yingying.

When Duan Yingying had been scolding Zhou Shilong just moments ago, her heart had nearly leaped out of her throat!

But in the blink of an eye, Duan Yingying had given her this massive surprise!

Chang Lanxin walked over to Cheng Yuan and asked in a low voice, "Cheng Yuan, you’ve been holding out on me! Who in the world did you get to come here?"

Cheng Yuan answered truthfully, "Duan Yingying, Prince Duan’s only daughter."

’Prince Duan’s... only daughter?’

Chang Lanxin’s head was buzzing. She was so scared she nearly fainted.

If Zhou Shilong was the imperious Lord of the City...

...then Prince Duan was the undisputed local emperor of Qian Province!

Zhou Shilong was merely one of Prince Duan’s Named Disciples.

To put it bluntly, Zhou Shilong was nothing more than a dog on Prince Duan’s leash!

"Cheng Yuan, this is..."

Chang Lanxin was already becoming incoherent.

At that moment, Chang Lanxin was incredibly envious of her best friend. ’Zhixuan’s taste is impeccable! To think she found a once-in-a-lifetime, unbelievably amazing guy like Cheng Yuan!’

’Too bad Zhixuan was taken away by Ruyan and couldn’t be here to witness this miracle!’

Cheng Yuan grinned. "I just asked an acquaintance to come lend a hand. Don’t worry about it, Senior."

The corner of Chang Lanxin’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.

’Holy hell!’

’Easy for you to say!’

’How could I not worry about this?’

THUMP!

Duan Yingying rapped Zhou Shilong hard on the head and chided him in a sharp but sweet voice, "Little Dragon! You’ve really raised a fine son! Was he about to hit me just now?"

Zhou Shilong’s eyes went cold. He spun around and viciously stomped on Lin Shaofeng’s right arm!

CRACK!

Lin Shaofeng’s right arm shattered, and he let out a bloodcurdling scream!

Zhou Shilong turned back and bowed with the utmost respect. "Young Miss, this worthless son’s arm has been crippled! If you are still not satisfied, Little Dragon will kill him!"

Lin Shaofeng’s face went deathly pale. He was absolutely certain that his father truly intended to kill him!

Ignoring the pain, Lin Shaofeng scrambled to crawl in front of Duan Yingying, kowtowing repeatedly as he begged for forgiveness.

"Young Miss, I was blind to have offended you! I truly know I was wrong! From now on, I will tuck my tail between my legs and behave! Please spare this dog’s life!"

Duan Yingying shot Lin Shaofeng a look of disgust. "I’m just here to lend a hand. You don’t need to apologize to me!"

Lin Shaofeng understood instantly. Like a dog, he crawled over to Cheng Yuan.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

Lin Shaofeng kowtowed three times, the thuds echoing loudly. Only then did he raise his head to look pitifully at Cheng Yuan. "Brother Cheng, I was blind to have offended you! I truly know I was wrong! I’m begging you, please forgive me this one time!"

Standing to the side, Zhou Shilong was afraid of Duan Yingying, but not of Cheng Yuan. He shot Cheng Yuan a look brimming with menace.

His expression seemed to say, ’Kid, know when to quit while you’re ahead.’

’Don’t push your luck!’

’I, Zhou Shilong, am not to be trifled with!’

Cheng Yuan’s anger had actually been subsiding, but Zhou Shilong’s glare reignited it.

Cheng Yuan said coolly, "Lin Shaofeng, you shouldn’t be calling me Brother. You should be calling me Grandpa."

Lin Shaofeng’s grandfather... wouldn’t that be Zhou Shilong’s father?

Cheng Yuan’s words were a blatant humiliation!

He wasn’t just humiliating Lin Shaofeng, but Zhou Shilong as well!

In an instant, the atmosphere in Lanxin Bar became terrifyingly tense.

Aside from Cheng Yuan and Duan Yingying, no one dared to even breathe. It felt as though a bloodbath could erupt at any second!

Lin Shaofeng’s face flushed crimson. He instinctively glanced at his father. His father’s dignity was on the line; he didn’t dare say a word.

Zhou Shilong was about to explode with rage. Risking the possibility of offending Duan Yingying, he said in a low voice, "Young man, even if you’re a friend of the Young Miss, you can’t humiliate me like this! At the end of the day, I, Zhou Shilong, am still Prince Duan’s dog! You have to consider the master before you beat the dog!"

Cheng Yuan just grinned, not bothering to reply.

Beside them, Duan Yingying spoke with great seriousness. "Little Dragon, Brother Yuan absolutely did not humiliate you! Your son really does have to call him Grandpa! Because Brother Yuan is my father’s sworn brother!"

Duan Yingying’s words hit everyone like a category-twelve typhoon, leaving them numb with shock!

’Holy crap!’

’This kid is Prince Duan’s sworn brother?’

’Holy hell!’

’This is insane!’

Zhou Shilong vaguely recalled Prince Duan mentioning that he had recently taken a sworn brother—a man of exceptional talent who, in the near future, was destined to prove his Dao and become the next Martial Arts Alliance Leader!

Even he, Duan Yanming, had to treat this person with care!

The moment he thought of Prince Duan’s assessment of Cheng Yuan, Zhou Shilong’s heart went cold as ice!

’His precious son... what had he done?!’

’Of all the people to offend, he had to pick the one person even Prince Duan had to curry favor with?’

Zhou Shilong hadn’t knelt even when facing Duan Yingying, but now, his knees finally gave way.

With a THUD, he knelt before Cheng Yuan!

"Little Dragon greets Third Martial Uncle!"

Zhou Shilong’s men didn’t understand what was happening, but they all followed suit, shouting, "We greet you, Third Martial Uncle!!"

SMACK!

Zhou Shilong smacked Lin Shaofeng on the back of the head and barked, "Worthless son! Aren’t you going to greet your Grandmaster?"

The corner of Lin Shaofeng’s mouth twitched. "G-greetings, Grandmaster."

Lin Bao took a long, hard look at Cheng Yuan. ’I thought his confidence came from the Young Miss,’ he mused, ’but it turns out he himself is his own greatest backing!’

’What does it mean for someone as young as Cheng Yuan to be sworn brothers with Prince Duan?’

’Either his own talent is off the charts, or his family is so powerful that even the Dali Duan Clan has to suck up to them!’

’Either way, Cheng Yuan is a terrifying figure!’

Lin Bao silently congratulated himself. Thank goodness he had only feigned cooperation with Lin Shaofeng earlier and hadn’t actually made a move against Cheng Yuan.

Otherwise, he would be a corpse right now!

Chang Lanxin stared dazedly at Cheng Yuan. In her most desperate and helpless moment, he had stepped forward!

’I thought he was just acting on reckless bravado!’

’I never expected him to have such a powerful background!’

Chang Lanxin knew about Cheng Yuan’s family situation, which meant he hadn’t befriended Prince Duan through his family connections, but through his own strength and potential!

Chang Lanxin knew she was already falling for him, hard.

Even knowing her best friend liked Cheng Yuan, she couldn’t help herself!

’But I know I’m not good enough for him!’

Chang Lanxin could only sigh wistfully in her heart. ’Junior, could you please not be so amazing? After meeting you, how could I ever fall for another man?’
