Mystical Dominator of the Nine Heavens - Chapter 60

Chapter 60: Xu Fulai, Peasants’ Dispute

“Sister Buyi!”

The teenager with dust on his face exclaimed and rushed to the girl.

She was a lady donning plain attire, she was about seventeen or eighteen. She had no makeup on but it was hard to hide her natural beauty. She was wearing a green pleated skirt and there were several traces of patchwork in indistinct places.

The most striking part of the girl was her well-endowed chest. The contours were exquisite and they jiggled slightly when she walked.

Huang Zhukeng displayed an expression of ecstasy and wickedness. He swallowed visibly and said, “I was wondering who it is. It turns out to be Sister Buyi… Hehehe, you are even more beautiful now that I haven’t seen you for a few days. You make my heart beat fast.”

The girl called Buyi frowned and did not say anything else.

“Be careful, Huang Zhukeng. Don’t say such indecent things to Sister Buyi.” Brother Baogai rushed to Buyi and stood beside her. He stared at Huang Zhukeng angrily.

“Heh?” Huang Zhukeng snickered scornfully.

“Old Master Xu mentioned that the important person still needs a maid to do the laundry and prepare meals. As I see it, Sister Buyi is quite good. I can guarantee that her appearance and figure will satisfy that important person.” Huang Zhukeng chuckled.

“How dare you!” Brother Baogai’s eyes became instantly red. “Huang Zhukeng! Do you have even a little humanity left? How can you put Sister Buyi in danger!” He quickly grabbed Huang Zhukeng by the collar.

There were traces of panic on Huang Zhukeng’s face, and he stuttered, “What are you doing? I’m a gentleman. I don’t deal with people like you… Let go!”

“Baogai, let him go…” Buyi pulled at Brother Baogai’s sleeve gently.

Brother Baogai put down his hands and glared at Huang Zhukeng with hatred.

“Is it not a good thing for her to serve an important person from the city? Who knows what would happen if the important person likes her service? He might decide to take her in as his mistress.” Huang Zhukeng coughed and said gleefully. “However, if Buyi is not willing to do that, you may come to my house tonight and I will settle the issue for you. It will be an easy issue to settle. Hahaha!”

Seeing the wicked expression on Huang Zhukeng’s face, everyone knew what he was thinking. Brother Baogai yelled, “You bastard who drove your father mad until he died, how can you even think of doing such things to Sister Buyi? Sister Buyi has treated all of the peasants in this Xu Village well. We won’t let you bully her!”

The villagers slowly surrounded Huang Zhukeng with great dissatisfaction.

“You all, what do you want to do? Are you going to rebel? I’m going to tell Old Master Xu. Ay…”

Someone yelled, “Beat him up!” The peasants started to punch Huang Zhukeng, and the mouse-bearded man stumbled about before he was knocked down onto the ground. The girl, Buyi, had an anxious look on her face and she told them to stop but the peasants beat Huang Zhukeng heavily regardless of the consequences.

“Step on him! Step on the Yellow-Skinned Dog till he dies!” Brother Baogai stepped on Huang Zhukeng’s face while saying so.

“Stop!” A voice with dignity sounded as the central door was opened.

As the voice sounded, seven to eight men in black rushed forward and beat up the peasants. The men were in the Advanced Mystical Learner stage. However, the peasants were all knocked down onto the ground in mere seconds as there were only common people.

Huang Zhukeng’s eyes were swollen like a panda’s and there were bloodstains around his mouth. There were countless shoe marks on his body, and he looked quite miserable. He recognized the prestigious voice so he stumbled forward and fell to the man’s feet. He said, “Old Master Xu, you must help me! These villagers didn’t work hard and even beat me up. They said that I am a Yellow-Skinned Dog and that you are Stingy Xu. They said that beating me up is equal to beating Old Master Xu!”

Brother Baogai was lying on the ground as he was subdued by the foot of a Mystical Learner in black. After hearing this, he struggled to raise his head and scolded, “Yellow-Skinned Dog, don’t spread lies!”

Old Master Xu had a big belly and a chubby face. His eyes were tiny as they seemed to be squeezed by his meaty face. His face flashed with a malicious look which disappeared just as quickly as it came. He saluted and smiled. “It is just some troublemakers creating problems, please don’t worry about it.”

The peasants and Buyi saw the teenager on the left hand side of Old Master Xu. They were surprised that Stingy Xu would actually speak in such a cautious manner.

The teenager was dressed in a blue shirt with a white fluffy ball on his shoulder. He was holding the hand of a little girl, in a flower jacket, in his left hand and he did not exude the aura that a young master would. Only the golden ring on his hair and the sword on his waist gave an inkling of his identity.

The teenager was Xu Yang. Originally, the family had given Xu Yang some time to pack up his things while the people in Xu Village prepared the courtyard for him. However, Xu Yang did not take anything else from the old mansion. He merely put his clothes and the alchemy utensils into his storage ring before he left.

He arrived two days earlier compared to the expected date that was in three days’ time.

“Let them go.” Xu Yang said.

“Let them go?” Old Master Xu shook his head and said, “Young Master, they are all troublemakers. I can’t abide by your order for your own safety. They need a good beating in order to learn a lesson.”

Xu Yang frowned and asked, “How are you going to punish them?”

Old Master Xu chucked and said, “Lock them up and starve them for three days. They will be obedient after that.”

Xu Yu exclaimed and covered her mouth.

Buyi quickly rushed forward as she had already guessed that the young master in front of her was an important character. He would surely be able to save them.

“Young Master, please don’t blame Baogai and the other fellows.” Buyi bowed deeply to Xu Yang. “They beat Steward Huang up because of me. I will receive the punishment for them.”

Xu Yu pulled at Xu Yang’s arm and whispered, “Brother, these people don’t seem like bad people.” Buyi gave Xu Yu a look of appreciation when she heard her words.

Huang Zhukeng was surprised. He had a terrible relationship with the peasants. If they were to be let off easily, he would be bullied in the future. He quickly said, “Old Master, you can’t blame me. I merely suggested that Buyi serve the young master. Let her do the laundry and cook for him… As you can see, the young master does not have a maid… That’s when these people came and beat me up! You can’t just let them go.”

Old Master Xu coughed and said, “What’s the matter, Buyi? Do you think that serving the young master is a degrading job?”

Xu Yang did not manage to say anything before Bu Yi bit her lips and said, “Young Master, are you willing to free them if I serve you?”

“I don’t need a maid.” Xu Yang said indifferently, “Xu Fulai, let the peasants go.”

Old Master Xu was shocked as Xu Yang addressed him by name, and in such a commanding tone nonetheless. This would surely affect the prestige he had in the eyes of the peasants.
