Chapter 4: Replenishing Our Kid’s Blood

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ying Zijin retracted her hand. Completely disregarding the gazes of the people around her, she rolled up her sleeves and continued walking forward.

Hucheng was the second-largest international metropolis in the country. Its economy and technology sectors were developing rapidly.

“Seventh Young Master, did you see that?” It took a long time for Nie Chao to come back to his senses. After he pinched his thigh, he hissed and said, “I remember clearly that this little girl just entered the hospital the day before yesterday, but she can fight five people all alone already?”

“Yes, I saw it.” Fu Yunshen had one hand in his pocket as he stared at the girl’s back. “But I can’t tell what her technique is. It looks a little like Muay Thai, but also a little like Judo.”

Nie Chao was stunned. “What do you mean?”

“Every move she makes is very ingenious.” Fu Yunshen chuckled as he said, “If she had used more strength, the five of them wouldn’t have just fallen to the ground.”

Nie Chao broke out in a cold sweat. “That’s impossible. Could it be that this little girl knows ancient martial arts techniques?”

Ancient martial arts practitioners used a combination of ancient martial arts techniques and contemporary science, so they were many times stronger than people like him, who only knew karate.

There were ancient martial arts practitioners in China, but very few of them. Some ancient martial arts aristocratic families gradually went into seclusion after the arrival of the 21st century. Even the wealthy families in the Imperial Capital couldn’t find real ancient martial arts practitioners, let alone people in Hucheng.

If any wealthy family could invite a true ancient martial arts practitioner to protect the family, they would have the ability to compete with the ancient tycoons in Continent O.

If the adopted daughter of the Ying family knew ancient martial arts, would the Ying family still treat her as a blood bank?

The entire family would probably kiss up to her.

“Ancient martial arts…” Fu Yunshen’s gaze shifted, then he froze.

The girl suddenly returned and walked in their direction.

Fu Yunshen narrowed his eyes and turned his body slightly.

The street lights were reflected in his long and narrow eyes and gave them a gentle warm glow.

It was hard for anyone to resist his gaze.

As he got closer, Fu Yunshen could clearly see the green veins under the girl’s fair skin and she looked very frail. When he saw this, his eyebrows moved slightly.

Nie Chao broke out in a cold sweat.

Could it be that she had overheard him badmouthing her behind her back?

Although he was a ninth-stage karate practitioner and a big man, from this little girl’s moves just now, he couldn’t beat her.

At this moment, the girl stood in front of him. After she looked up, her eyes were misty as she said, “You—”

Nie Chao’s legs went weak and he knelt down with a plop. “I’m just gossipy and I don’t have any malicious intentions. Big shot, please show mercy!”

Fu Yunshen said with amusement, “Since you’re kneeling on one knee in such a pious posture, are you proposing?”

Nie Chao was speechless.

Damn his legs!

After Ying Zijin looked at Nie Chao, who had stood up again, she raised her eyebrows and said calmly, “Three days from now, at 7 p.m. sharp, in the No.1 Tavern on Huangpu Road, you will face a bloody calamity, but it won’t be a big problem. Seven days from now, starting at 12 p.m., I suggest you avoid a region in the south of Punan. Otherwise, your life will be in danger.”

Nie Chao was stunned.

When Fu Yunshen heard this, his slender fingers that were fiddling with the jade suddenly clenched and he raised his eyes. Then, he said in a low and hoarse voice with a smile, “Little kid, you know how to read fortunes?”

Ying Zijin didn’t answer. She only said, “Thank you.”

Thanking him was just a pretense. It didn’t matter to her whether anyone helped her or not. She just wanted to test how much of her current divination ability was left.

It seemed that she still needed a long time to recover, but it was enough for now.

Nie Chao was even more confused. “Huh?”

Fu Yunshen glanced at Nie Chao and then at the girl. His pupils were hazel and had a gentle look in them as he said, “Little kid, aren’t you being biased by only thanking him? Huh?”

Ying Zijin’s expression froze.

Nie Chao was dumbfounded. “Seventh Young Master, are you serious? You were the one who bullied her. Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed today?”

How could a grown man be so shameless?

Why hadn’t he seen this young master speak to other females like this before?

Fu Yunshen ignored him and his eyes narrowed as he stared at the girl affectionately, as if he was flirting. “Little kid, you read his fortune, so why don’t you read mine too?”

Ying Zijin narrowed her eyes.

“Little girl, ignore him.” Nie Chao felt that Fu Yunshen was out of his mind today, so he tried to smooth things over. “Where are you going? How about we send you there?”

Indeed, blue blood families were very complicated. One look and one could tell that this girl wasn’t the kind of person the rumors said she was.

“No need.” Ying Zijin shook her head and was about to leave.

However, when she turned around, her body swayed slightly. Clearly, it was the aftereffects of losing too much blood.

She raised her hand and massaged her temples with a cold look in her eyes.

At this moment, an aloof voice sounded from behind her.

“Kid.”

Ying Zijin stopped and turned around.

The man leaned against the glass door with a flippant look on his face as he said, “Your benefactor wants to treat you to dinner to thank you for reminding him.”

Han Pavilion.

Even after the waiter finished setting up the tableware, Nie Chao still couldn’t understand. He looked at the calm girl and asked, “You really agreed just like that? Aren’t you afraid of being scammed? What if we’re bad guys and try to poison you?”

Moreover, since when did he take the initiative to invite this girl to a meal?

Ying Zijin rested with her eyes half-closed and she said, “Because I’m really hungry.”

Nie Chao was speechless.

“Yes, that’s all. Serve another plate of stir-fried pig liver.” After Fu Yunshen closed the menu, he looked up with a smile and said, “This kid is too thin, so she needs to replenish her blood.”

The waiter bowed and went away to prepare the dish.

Han Pavilion was the only restaurant in the country that rejected Michelin rating. It only accepted ten tables of customers a day and customers had to book three months in advance.

After Nie Chao looked around, he said, “Seventh Young Master, don’t tell me you know the owner of the Han Pavilion? Even my old man has to book a reservation for this restaurant.”

“I don’t know the owner of the Han Pavilion.” Fu Yunshen placed his arm on the back of the chair and said aloofly, “Maybe they accept customers based on looks.”

“Miss Ying, did you hear that? Seventh Young Master likes to spout nonsense. Don’t believe a word he says.” Nie Chao didn’t mind and waved his hand dismissively as he said, “However, it’s rare for Seventh Young Master to be treating, so eat as much as you want today. He lacks everything except money.”

“What a coincidence.” Ying Zijin said aloofly, “I only lack money.”

Fu Yunshen looked up.

“You’re short of money?” Nie Chao was stunned. “The Ying family doesn’t give you money?”

Even the servants of the Ying family were paid, let alone an adopted daughter.

“I’m not good at studying, nor have I learned proper etiquette, let alone flower-arranging or tea ceremony etiquette.” The girl said indifferently, “Why would they give me money when I’m so unpresentable?”

Nie Chao was speechless.

Fu Yunshen’s eyelashes fluttered, then the corners of his lips curled up and he said, “Little kid, that’s their bad judgement. Your pre-dinner etiquette is the same as that of Continent O’s royal family.”
