Light Wind Step
Hao Yi glanced at the wall clock. It was already eight at night, and under normal circumstances Ding Xuan would have been home by six thirty.
He took out his phone and called Ding Xuan. A mobile phone was something Hao Yi was using on his own for the first time. Usually, Ding Xuan was the one who called back to ask him things.
Although his memories had fully merged with those of the body’s original owner, some habits were not so easy to change. He lived in this very modern era, yet he still could not shake the habits from his past life.
Every day, aside from cultivation, he either practiced martial arts or went up the mountain for a walk, mulling over the insights from his meditation and cultivation. His life was very monotonous.
Listening to the ‘beep’ on the other end of the line, Hao Yi waited quietly for Ding Xuan to pick up.
After about six rings, the call connected, and Ding Xuan’s voice came through too, but it was not like a normal call. It sounded as if he were being threatened by someone.
“Give me the phone, please, I’ll pay it back. I definitely will.”
“You’re just a poor brat. Pay it back, my ass. It’s your husband who has some money.”
“Hahaha, husband… shouldn’t he be the husband? Wasn’t that useless young master’s lower half already ruined by a dog a long time ago? How could he still, mm, ahh…”
In the latter half, the other party deliberately made their voice extremely suggestive. Clearly, they knew Hao Yi was listening on the other end and were deliberately provoking him, waiting to watch his reaction.
Hao Yi calmly lowered his head and looked at his own crotch, saying, “I really didn’t expect you to care so much about whether my lower half was intact. How about we discuss it in detail?”
“Fuck! Who wants to look at some eunuch like you! If you want to bail your wife out, get your ass over here right now! Otherwise, I don’t mind handing him over to those gays to play with! Those gays are all pretty fierce, who knows, maybe your wife will get a taste of…”
“Your mouth really stinks. I’ll give it a good wash. Where’s the address?”
At that moment, Ding Xuan’s voice came from the other end. “Young Master, don’t come. There are a lot of people here. Don’t come!”
Idiot. He was actually telling him not to come? Did he want to die?
“MD! You actually said my mouth stinks. You’ll have a good look in a bit! Room 503 on the fifth floor of Jinming Club. If you don’t come, I’ll…”
The person answering the phone was enraged by Hao Yi’s words, but before he could finish, Hao Yi directly cut the signal.
He picked at his ear with a finger and thought back to the time after his meridians had been completely ruined and before he came here. There had also been a reckless bastard who provoked him simply because he had obtained a treasure but hadn’t offered it up to a senior one rank above him. That person had called him a wild bastard raised without a mother.
And what happened in the end?
Hao Yi made a face as if he were racking his brains, then showed an expression of sudden realization. It seemed that fellow had lost every tooth in his mouth and fled in a panic.
Should he try that on the fellow who had just answered the call too?
While his thoughts were running, Hao Yi had already walked quite a long way.
Because there was only one means of transport at home, a motorcycle, and Ding Xuan was the one who used it, he could only walk to the town ahead now and find the man who had a van to take him to the city.
Of course, even if the motorcycle were placed right in front of him, he still would not know how to use it. Ding Xuan had not taught him yet.
Hao Yi walked briskly forward, his eyes fixed straight ahead on the road.
If someone from the village came out at this moment, they would surely see a figure gliding past them at great speed. They would definitely be so frightened they turned pale, thinking they had run into a ghost.
Yes, glided past.
After two months of cultivation, Hao Yi had barely reached Qi Refining Stage One. His cultivation speed was slow, but the external martial arts he had practiced were recovering very quickly. Using Light Wind Step was quite easy for him now, though he still could not travel long distances, so he could only go on ahead and have someone drive him to the city in a van.
When he reached the villager’s home with the van, the other man heard that he wanted to go to the city and was about to shake his head to refuse, when he saw a stack of money appear in front of him. His head, which had been halfway through a shake, quickly turned into a nod.
Five thousand, exactly. Only a fool would refuse that. He might not even earn that much in an entire month.
So the driver packed up and drove Hao Yi toward Jinming Club in the city…
