Chapter 248 A Letter From Mr. Buddha

One crate after another, Xiao Bing and Lil Bei drank a huge amount of beer. Then the two drunkards staggered towards the mansion with their arms draped around each other’s shoulders. They arrived an hour later and threw themselves on their beds as soon as they stepped into their rooms.

The next morning when Xiao Bing opened his eyes, he could smell the alcohol from his own breath. Yezi was lying beside him, her eyes red. “You’re up.”

“Yeah… Yesterday… How did I come back?”

Yezi managed a wry smile, “You were so drunk you don’t even you how you come back?”

Xiao Bing smiled wryly and scratched his head. He scooped Yezi into his arms and spoke with a guilty tone, “You must not have slept well last night because of me.”

“Humph, good that you know it. You were talking in your sleep. I fed you a bowl of soup to sober you up. I guess you don’t remember it.”

Xiao Bing said awkwardly, “What did I say in my sleep?”

“You were calling my name….” Yezi looked abashed. “Alright. It’s past nine in the morning. I won’t go anywhere today. I’ll just stay with you.”

Xiao Bing felt a bit guilty because it was the message from Liu Kexin which made him want to drink. He was afraid that he might’ve been calling out Liu Kexin’s name when he was drunk. He was relieved to hear Yezi’s answer. He decided to let it go thinking that it was best for Liu Kexin and himself. Otherwise, it would just be a waste of time for the girl.

“Alright, Brother Bing. You should rest at home today. I’ll make you breakfast. You drank too much last night. Come, have some porridge first.”

“Don’t we have servants to prepare breakfast?”

Yezi looked at Xiao Bing and asked, “Will it be the same?”

They looked at each other, their eyes gleaming with tenderness. “No,” Xiao Bing answered softly.

Smiling sweetly, Yezi trotted out to make breakfast. As long as Xiao Bing approved and as long as he liked the food, she was happy. Love is a mutual thing. The love Xiao Bing had for Yezi was as much as the love Yezi had for him.

Yezi was with Xiao Bing throughout the day. After dinner, Xiao Bing continued to train Dumbass. Xiao Bing scarcely went to the Noodle House now. Li Chunlan understood. She knew that Xiao Bing was destined to achieve something great. She decided to find an even more suitable person to carry on her exclusive recipe.

According to Dumbass’s current strength, there was not much more that Xiao Bing could help him with. He had just reached the early stage of Transforming-strength, which made it impossible for him to progress quickly. He could only enhance himself step by step because if one did not have a solid foundation, the progression of his martial art could easily be twisted. His situation was different from Xiao Bing’s. It took half a year for Xiao Bing to jump from the Concealing Strength Stage to Elixir-strength Stage, which was something that never happened before. But that was because Xiao Bing had been there before. He had even been stronger than now. He was just on a path he once journeyed. His foundation was much more solid and that helped him to advance more effectively.

The most important thing for Dumbass now was to strengthen his foundation.

Xiao Bing and Dumbass had just stepped into the mansion when they suddenly heard the air whistling. Xiao Bing whipped his hand up to grab an envelope. Xiao Bing looked into the darkness but saw nothing.

Xiao Bing frowned. “Brother Bing, what happened?” Dumbass asked.

“I don’t know. Let’s go in and take a look first.”

Xiao Bing walked into his room with Dumbass and found Yezi there. She smiled when she saw Dumbass trailing behind her boyfriend. She asked, “Are you guys done training? I’ll make tea for you.”

“Don’t bother. I will go home and have a good sleep. Brother Bing, can you open that envelope. I want to see what’s in it?”

Yezi asked out of curiosity, “Envelope? What envelope?”

Xiao Bing took out the envelope from his breast pocket, sat on a chair, opened the envelope and placed the letter on the desk. The characters on it were written with great force. It even seemed to exude a certain air of divinity tainted with extreme evil. Dumbass and Yezi felt dizzy the moment they looked at the words. Yezi almost passed put. Xiao Bing reached out and supported her.

Dumbass quickly retreated and bellowed, “What on earth? Why do the characters look so scary? I felt the world turning upside down when I merely glanced at it.”

Frowning, Xiao Bing asked coldly, “What did you both feel?”

Dumbass answered, “I saw a group of glowing monks chanting scriptures. I almost fell to my knees. But then I saw a hell in which a dark monster was shouting in the flames. I was really terrified.”

Xiao Bing nodded. “That’s more or less what I saw…” Yezi said, her face deathly pale.

Xiao Bing sighed and spoke gravely, “This one can kill with his writing, which is something I’ve never heard of. He must be a formidable martial artist.”

Xiao Bing thought about it and surmised that he might be able to do that when he reached his prime. He assumed that the writer must have reached the level of Void-breaking.

“Among the people I know, only one has such a mixed personality of a Buddha and a demon… Mr. Buddha.”

Xiao Bing’s heart sank. “Could it be that Mr. Buddha already knows I’m here? Is this his declaration of war?”

Dumbass and Yezi did not dare look anymore. Xiao Bing took a closer look and read the characters on it, “The Buddha and the Demon were one entity when this world was born. I’m Mr. Buddha. Three days from now, I’ll send two of my men to invite the princess and the demon’s envoy to a feast with me.”

Xiao Bing folded the sheet and cursed, “Damn, why do they always say three days later? Are they writing a novel or filming a movie?”

Yezi finally revived and asked, “What? What happened?”

Xiao Bing answered frowning, “I don’t know. I need to ask Gao Fei and Maggie to find out the whole story.”

Dumbass said, “Let me go and ask them over.”

It was late in the night. But the situation was very serious. They had not expected Mr. Buddha to send his men. If Gao Fei and Maggie refused to leave in three days, it was very possible that there would be a hell of a fight. Since they know of the devil’s death, the two sent by Mr. Buddha would definitely not be inferior to the devil. Normal martial artists like Dumbass and Zhan Hongyan would not be of much help in this kind of fight.

Dumbass very quickly brought Gao Fei and Maggie over. Gao Fei still looked emotionless while Maggie came in rubbing her eyes. Dumbass had knocked on her door when she was about to go to bed.

“Boss, you have something urgent to tell us?” Gao Fei asked placidly.

“Yes.” Xiao Bing handed the letter to Gao Fei. “Take a look at this.”

Maggie moved closer after Gao Fei unfolded the sheet. But Maggie didn’t think it was a big deal. After they were done reading it, Gao Fei remained emotionless, but Maggie seemed wide awake. She flared, “Who the hell is this Mr. Buddha. Why should we listen to this son of a bitch?”

Gao Fei answered calmly, “He’s considered to be the scariest person in the Dark World, a prodigy in martial arts. I knew he would come for us after the devil’s death. I just didn’t expect it to be this fast.”

Gao Fei looked at Xiao Bing and said, “I’ll leave with Maggie tonight. They are coming for us. We won’t let you be involved in this.”

Xiao Bing slapped the table and blazed, “I thought we had a deal. What do you mean by saying I should not be involved! You two are with me now. You want me to cast you aside when you are in danger? I will never do something like that.”

Maggie also said anxiously, “Brother Bing, you’re a very good person, but…”

“No buts. Neither of you will leave. Besides, it’s just a matter of time before I go to war with him. They may have come prepared this time, but they might not have a clear understanding of our strength. They must’ve thought the devil died by Gao Fei’s hands, so they’re only looking at Gao Fei as the threat. Otherwise, they would not have sent only two killers. So this gives us an advantage.”

Gao Fei said, “Boss, you mean…”

“Since two people are coming here, I will kill them both!”

Maggie said, “You can’t offend him because of us…”

Before Maggie could finish, Gao Fei agreed and went out, dragging Maggie with him.

Maggie tried to free herself from his grasp as they walked. After they were well away from Xiao Bing’s room, Maggie spoke, “Brother Fei, why didn’t you let me finish? Brother Bing will die if he offends Mr. Buddha because of us.”

Gao Fei replied calmly, “For a man, sometimes it is not his life that matters most.”

“Then what is it that matters most?” Maggie asked hotly.

“Trust and dignity, ” Gao Fei said, “If we don’t agree to what he said, it means that we don’t trust him. This will make him feel that we’re treading on his dignity.”

Maggie’s mind went blank for a moment. Then she stamped on the ground and blazed, “I just don’t know what’s wrong with you men. Anyway, in three days, you must protect the people here. I don’t want even one of them to die…”

“I got it.”
