Chapter 1252: Chapter 552: Extremely Fierce Tiger Grows Up Without Even Realizing It_2

"Got it?"

"Got what? What on earth are you doing? Are you crazy?" Jiejie, irritated and clueless due to Hu’s enigmatic behavior and words, protested.

Hu shook his head, showing the plastic key lying in his palm, smiling at Jiejie, "Now, your key is gonna fly away~"

Jiejie: "?"

No sooner did Jiejie react than Hu moved!! —

"— I am the Fierce Tiger King! So you’re called Jiejie, huh? Eat my Storm Nebula Slash!"

"— And Dragon Emperor Interdimensional! Wild Thunder Vajra Fist! Thunder Half-Moon Slash! Sky-Shaking Wave Sand —"

"— Nine Heavens Thunder — Double! Feet! Stomp!"

"— Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!"

Jiejie, who was knocked to the ground instantly, was even more bewildered: "(;☉_☉)?"

Seriously?

Is this what the key’s presence was about?

This Yan Kingdom map is way too long!

"Ouch! Ouch! Stop hitting me! Why are you suddenly attacking me! Are you stupid or something?" Jiejie, unable to get up, looked at Hu riding on him, and asked in an aggrieved and annoyed tone.

"Someone offered candy for your life! And... they were very generous with the candy!"

Jiejie: "?"

Huh?

...

"How did they even end up off-screen." Lin Li, lurking at the corner of the wall not far away, laughed as he watched Jiejie and Hu sliding out of view after they fell.

He wasn’t worried, Bufan said Hu knows his limits and isn’t an out-of-control mercenary.

Upon hearing this, Bai Bufan placed his hand like a telescope in front of his eye, squinting, "It must be that Hu, he’s forcing Jiejie to kneel, probably trying to get Jiejie to work hard on some apricot teeth with him!"

"Damn you, Bufan, your imagination is way too vivid!"

Lin Li immediately laughed and gave Bai Bufan a light slap on the back of his head.

"Jiejie!!" But before the two could continue their chatter, the shout heard earlier resounded once again.

The apartment door swung open, and Old Deng reappeared.

Lin Li and Bai Bufan exchanged a glance, then quickly approached without hiding any longer.

At times like this, it’s impossible to let Hu face Little Demon Pill and Old Demon alone, old opponents should be dealt with by old counterparts!

"Jiejie!!"

When the old man walked out of the unit door and saw his precious grandson being taught a lesson on the ground by the Extremely Fierce Tiger of Imperial Calm District, third building, second unit, he immediately yelled again.

"You little brat! Let go of my Jiejie now!"

Old Deng’s eyes were nearly tearing apart, and nearly pounced forward, stretching his hand to grab Hu by the collar, his voice sharp, "Bullying my Jiejie now? Pushing it too far!"

However, before her hand could reach Hu, Hu was already whisked away by two hands to safety.

It was Lin Li and Bai Bufan arriving in time.

"Grandma, don’t get agitated," Lin Li spoke politely.

"Yeah, Grandma, let’s talk this out, no need to get physical."

"You! It’s you two again!" Recognizing them, the old woman became even angrier, cursing while struggling:

"So it was you two, wasn’t it! Scaring my Jiejie wasn’t enough, now you’re having this kid beat him up! I’m calling the police! None of you will escape! Bullying elders and children, you have no scruples!"

Hu patted the dust from his hands, expressionless, standing behind Lin Li and Bai Bufan.

And with Hu standing up, Jiejie, lying on the ground, started bawling, his face covered in snot and tears, pointing at Hu, Lin Li, and Bai Bufan, "Grandma! Waa—it’s them! They’re bullying me! Waa—"

He also showed off his new year gift, "Grandma, my key is flying away!"

Old person: "?"

After checking carefully, noticing no injuries on her grandson, just dirt, the old woman was still trembling with heartache as she roared at Lin Li and Bai Bufan:

"You two scoundrels! Did you hear that, Jiejie is like this now! That... I remember it’s Hu, right! Quickly, come over and apologize to Jiejie!"

"Hey," Lin Li waved his hand, calmly advising, "Grandma, there’s no need for this, isn’t it just kids playing around? You’re an adult, why bother with little kids."

Bai Bufan also nodded, his eyes silently conveying "how is it that even the old person doesn’t understand".

"Playing around? Where’s the playing in that! I saw clearly, it’s just that kid bullying my kid!"

"Hey grandma, this isn’t right.

Our Hu is still a child! A child younger than Jiejie, what do kids know? Their mischief is natural!

You’re such an elder, do you not understand? How can you have no tolerance whatsoever! Besides, our Hu is so well-behaved, why did he only hit your Jiejie and not other Jiejies? Surely you have some responsibility too! You provoked him!"

Lin Li fluently voiced this argument.

Bai Bufan closed his eyes in contentment beside him, feeling invigorated, as if his whole body was unblocked.

The tables had turned completely at this moment!

Old Deng: "?"

She might be getting old, but she’s not senile, so she naturally realized that this was almost exactly what she had just said.

"You... you...!" In an instant, Old Deng flushed red, her chest heaving, her hand shaking as she pointed at Lin Li, then at Bai Bufan and Hu, "You... you all... using fallacies! Distorting the truth!"

"Others respect elders and love the young, but you guys bully elders and kids! Indeed, in this world, bad people aren’t decreasing, they’re just getting smaller!"

Lin Li suddenly stepped back in alarm, "Grandma, I have a law enforcement recorder on me, it’s been recording our conversation the whole time, so don’t pretend to fall over later, it won’t work, I have evidence."

Old person: "?"

This reminder did startle her.

But after hesitating for a moment, the old lady chose not to lay down then and there.

After all, tonight was New Year’s Eve, and there’s no need to contend with these two jinxed lunatics.

Though she felt she was in the right—she truly believed so from the heart—the old woman didn’t want to waste her mood and time tonight arguing with them over this.

"Jiejie! We’re going home!" With this thought, the granny gave up her argument in frustration, dragging her wailing grandson back home.

Her voice, filled with anger and unwillingness, was intentionally amplified for Lin Li and Bai Bufan to hear: "Stay away from those bad seeds from now on! Don’t play with them! They’re bad luck!"

"Hu, hang around those good ones more, play with them! They’re good luck!"

Clearly she was praising Jiejie, but the sarcastic tone was obvious to anyone, only making the old woman even more furious.

"Bang—!"

The door, bearing too much, was slammed shut with all her might, causing the doorframe to vibrate loudly.

The hallway still echoed with Jiejie’s sniveling tattletale and the old lady’s huffy comfort, but that soon faded too.

The corner of the neighborhood returned to silence, with only distant firecrackers and the sound of the evening wind through bare branches remaining.

"Here, Hu, your reward, well done."

Bai Bufan offered snacks.

Lin Li handed over warm milk.

This right here is the Extremely Fierce Tiger of third building, second unit, Imperial Calm District!!

"Thank you, Brother."

Hu’s eyes lit up, he had refused to receive without merit before, but now having done the job, he quickly accepted, nodding coolly:

"You can call on me again if there’s a next time."

"Alright, alright, you go back and play with everyone first."

"Mm-hmm, goodbye, Brother."

"Goodbye."

They said goodbye, but actually followed Hu to "escort" him back to the common area, joining the other kids to play again before they left安心

"Profound in conduct, honest in dealings?"

Bai Bufan turned to Lin Li, extending his palm.

Lin Li tacitly raised his hand, and a crisp high-five echoed.

Old Deng and Little Deng’s Campaign... WIN!
