The Magnificent Son-in-law
Chapter 1332 - 1332: The Indomitable Shao Baxing
"Ah, so fragrant!"
In the basement, Shao Baxing cradled a large pork knuckle with both hands, half of his face covered in grease, and sighed contentedly.
Xiao Feng shook his head and sighed, mentally noting that no one could escape the allure of true fragrance.
The indomitable Shao Baxing reveals his true self in the face of pork knuckles...
On reflection, there's quite a bit of irony here.
"Hey, old man, you've already had five pork knuckles; you should be full by now, right?" Old Ha asked, eyes wide open.
In his opinion, even the biggest eater, Iron Doll, would have such an appetite.
Shao Baxing wiped his mouth and exhaled deeply, saying, "This is only half full. I need two more bowls, no, basins of rice and another knuckle, and preferably half a pound of sweet potato liquor."
"That's enough, I'm afraid you'll overeat," Xiao Feng interjected to stop him.
Shao Baxing put down the pork knuckle he had gnawed clean, reluctantly saying, "Then a pot of Pu'er tea to scrape off the grease."
"Boss?" Old Ha looked at Xiao Feng, a questioning expression in his eyes.
Xiao Feng smiled and nodded slightly, indicating he should proceed.
Before long, a pot of Pu'er tea was brought in.
Shao Baxing poured himself a cup, took a sip, and burped, his face expressing great enjoyment.
There's simply nothing more comforting than being able to eat your fill when you're famished!
At least at this moment, Shao Baxing firmly believed in this.
"Old man Shao, you've eaten, you've drunk, don't you have anything you want to say?" Xiao Feng asked with a teasing smile.
Shao Baxing furrowed his brows, took another sip of tea, and asked, "What do you want me to say?"
Hui Yi and others exchanged glances and noticed the change in Shao Baxing.
Although his attitude wasn't particularly good compared to before, it had already undergone a significant transformation.
Xiao Feng chuckled lightly, "Remember when I asked you earlier, why did the old man believe Shihan wasn't safe by my side? You said you didn't know?"
"I really don't know."
"Old Ha!"
"Present!" Old Ha cupped his hands ceremoniously.
Xiao Feng said calmly, "Go to Old Master Sun's and get some emetics.
Since Old Shao is determined to starve himself, let's fulfill his wish."
"Understood!"
Old Ha agreed and was about to leave.
Shao Baxing's face changed when he saw this scene...
If you haven't starved, you don't know how good food tastes.
If you haven't frozen, you don't know how warm clothes are.
Shao Baxing no longer wanted to experience the disorienting, heart-pounding feeling of extreme hunger again.
"Wait!" Shao Baxing shouted to stop him.
However, he didn't see Old Ha stopping.
His actions proved that Old Ha only listened to the boss!
"I do know the reason; call him back," Shao Baxing quickly said.
Although he still had room to regret before taking the emetic, he had to admit.
He was no longer willing to gamble!
Or rather, he didn't dare to gamble with Xiao Feng!
After all, this little rascal plays by his own rules, impossible to predict using normal thinking.
Of course, he only thought these things, he'd never dare say them out loud.
"Oh?" Xiao Feng teased. "Since old man Shao wants to talk, I might as well listen; I do understand respecting the elderly and caring for the young."
Respect the elderly...
Shao Baxing's mouth twitched as he gritted his teeth, "You should've heard of Rakshasa and Yaksha, right?"
Xiao Feng thought for a moment; before he could nod, Hui Yi had already spoken first: "Rakshasa in our Buddhist Sect is a flesh-eating demon.
Yaksha is quite similar."
"Just had to speak up?" Xiao Feng glared at him without much patience.
Hui Yi shrank back timidly, took a step back, and dared not speak recklessly.
Xiao Feng looked at Shao Baxing, "I've heard of these two groups, been around a long time and had clashes with Devil's Concentration Camp multiple times.
It's said Devil's Concentration Camp once mobilized ten instructors, leading hundreds of elites, but couldn't take down these two organizations."
Shao Baxing nodded, "But just half a month ago, Rakshasa was wiped out overnight.
Then less than half a day later, Yaksha announced its disbandment, members scattered and vanished."
"Devil's Concentration Camp's doing?"
"That's right!" Shao Baxing said sternly, "Though no direct evidence, based on Devil's Concentration Camp's moves this time.
Our chairman suspects they might have a new leader.
Which is why I'm here to take the young lady away."
"Another change?" Xiao Feng frowned.
How long has Su Yuzhuo been in charge?
The one who took over from Su Yuzhuo used my hand to clear out many instructors potentially disloyal.
Yet before she even warmed her seat, she was replaced?
Or perhaps...they didn't actually change leaders, and this action is just a practice by the one who replaced Su Yuzhuo?
These questions obviously can't be answered with speculation.
But what is certain is Devil's Concentration Camp is already active, could come for me at any time.
Just then, Old Ha returned with two porcelain bottles, handing them to Xiao Feng, "Boss, left hand this bottle induces vomiting, right hand this bottle induces diarrhea, which one to use?"
"Both together." Xiao Feng replied.
"Wait!"
Shao Baxing's eyes widened, "I've told you the reason already, why are you still against me?"
"Haha, why didn't you say this earlier?" Xiao Feng sneered, "Old Shao, you can't stand to see me well, why should I let you off easy?
Besides, who knows if you're telling lies or the truth?"
Shao Baxing despaired, "I swear to the heavens!"
"Even if it's deadly, I don't believe."
"You!"
After a pause, Xiao Feng said, "How about this, contact the old chairman, I'll chat with him, and confirm if what you said is true.
Once confirmed, consider this settled, alright?"
"Can't contact him." Shao Baxing restrained his anger, "You should know, with his caution, he wouldn't leave such a flaw."
Xiao Feng shook his head, "Old Ha, give Old Shao a dessert after meal, help with digestion."
Old Ha immediately agreed, uncapped the bottle, and went to administer the medicine to Shao Baxing.
"Old Shao, speak the truth now, there's still time!" Xiao Feng warned.
Shao Baxing was close to breaking down, "I'm really telling the truth!"
"Old Ha, administer the medicine."
"Got it!"
Then, Old Ha, Hui Yi, and others moved in together.
Blindfolding, pinching his nose, some responsible for holding Shao Baxing's head and body steady to prevent movement.
After the liquid from the two bottles was administered, Xiao Feng almost confirmed Shao Baxing's words were true.
And after drinking the two bottles, Shao Baxing didn't actually experience vomiting or diarrhea.
The two bottles indeed contained digestive aid.
After all, Xiao Feng didn't actually want to torment Shao Baxing to death.
"Old Shao, bear with it for a couple more days, I'll send someone to keep you company."
As he spoke, he tilted his head.
Tightly bound Lu Lishuang, escorted by Lone Wolf and others, came down the stairs.
Xiao Feng looked at Lu Lishuang glaring at him and his smile grew...
Old Shao couldn't escape the allure of true fragrance, who knows what this beauty, nurtured under Ma Yuliang's influence, will express?
