<h4>Chapter 1606 (Raw 1588): Returning to Idle Cloud Restaurant</h4>


    The one who stretched out his hand was, naturally, Xiao Chen.


    Xiao Chen’s Vital Qi was very strong, reaching two Cauldron Force. When he pressed down, it was like a mountain pushing Xiao Suo.


    Then, Xiao Chen stepped forward and picked up the tattered Scarlet Blood War Banner.


    “Are you the captain that Wang Suo is following now? Not bad. Although you are young, your air is extraordinary. I’m Bai Yan. I’m rather well connected even in the Grave Sea Cluster. Little Friend, might I know your great name?”


    Bai Yan’s status and cultivation were higher than the other party’s; before Xiao Chen, he was very confident. Hence, he questioned Xiao Chen with the attitude of a superior.


    Xiao Chen acted like he had not heard anything. He looked at Senior Gui and said, “Senior Gui, there are too many flies here. Since you are not going to do anything about it, I can only handle them myself!”


    “Whoosh!”


    Right after Xiao Chen spoke, four sets of cold killing Qi came from behind Bai Yan and firmly locked on Xiao Chen.


    “What big words! Let’s see who is the fly after I swat you to death!”


    A person came forward from behind Bai Yan and attacked Xiao Chen.


    That person used his hand as a knife and chopped down from above, bringing with him strong pressure. Before the knifehand strike arrived, cracks appeared in the floor. Xiao Chen’s long hair and white clothes pped loudly.


    “Scram further way.”


    Before Xiao Chen made a move, the sloppy-looking Senior Gui surged forward.


    No one saw how Senior Gui made his move. All everyone knew was that he suddenly stood in front of Xiao Chen and raised his peg, kicking the person approaching into the wall. Then, there was a dull thud, and that person fell to the floor while vomiting blood.


    “Bai Yan, I’m not doing business here today. Please go to another shop.”


    The ck-d old man secretly sent a voice projection: Bai Yan, on ount of our previous friendship, let me give you some advice. Quickly leave. You cannot afford to offend this youth, or even touch him at all!


    When Bai Yan, whose heart already bubbled with murderous intent, heard this, it was like cold water sshed on him, immediately extinguishing that murderous intent.


    Who was Senior Gui? Bai Yan was quite clear on that. Senior Gui’s words would not be false.


    Bai Yan was very smart. He figured that Senior Gui made a move so that Xiao Chen would not have to, reducing the resultant damage.


    “Sorry, my subordinate offended you earlier. I’ll take my leave now.”


    Bai Yan had gotten to where he was today by being slick and sly in his handling of things. A smile appeared on his face as if nothing had happened. Then, he prepared to leave.


    “Who permitted you to leave?” Xiao Chen suddenly asked unhurriedly the moment the other party turned around.


    The features of Bai Yan, whose back faced Xiao Chen, scrunched up together in incredible rage. However, when he turned around again, a smile had already reappeared on his face. “Little Friend, you should not be unreasonable. How about we leave today’s matter as it is?”


    “Unreasonable? What is ‘unreasonable’? What’s wrong? Are you feeling wronged now?” Xiao Chen mocked coldly.


    Earlier, Bai Yan did his best to humiliate Xiao Suo right before Xiao Chen. Yet now, he was using Xiao Chen of being unreasonable?


    There was also that subordinate who jumped out and attacked Xiao Chen. Without instructions from Bai Yan, how could his subordinates have dared to act so rashly?


    First, Bai Yan humiliated Xiao Suo. Then, he got his subordinate to attack Xiao Chen. If Xiao Chen had not been strong enough, he would have died here for nothing.


    Now that Bai Yan knew that Xiao Chen was incredible, it was not that easy to leave.


    When Bai Yan heard that, he felt stifled and frustrated. His face sank. “Don’t think that I, Bai Yan, fear you. If not for this being Senior Bai’s ce, I...”


    Xiao Chen smiled coldly. “Then what? I am standing before you right now. Do you dare to attack me?”


    Suddenly, a little ck snake appeared on Xiao Chen’s shoulders. Its scarlet eyes gazed coldly at Bai Yan.


    Upon receiving the Jiao Snake’s attention, Bai Yan trembled. It was like he was plunged into an ice cave; the chill prated bone-deep.


    Ate-stage Major Primal Core ferocious beast!


    Furthermore, it was only one step shy of charging into the Cloud Sea Realm. Bai Yan sucked in cold air. Now, he understood why Senior Gui said that.


    Bai Yan was an early-stage Major Primal Core cultivator. He should barely be able to stay alive and flee when facing this Jiao Snake. However, his four subordinates would not have any means of resistance. Their lives would be taken in mere moments.


    “Sir, what do you want? Please speak directly. Bai Yan will definitely do everything I can.”


    Without hesitating for long, Bai Yan chose not to sh head-on, preserving his strength first.


    Xiao Suo was somewhat stunned at this scene. He had not expected Xiao Chen to step in and stand up for him.


    “Scram, then. I just needed to see your helpless appearance; that is enough,” Xiao Chen said casually with disdain on his face.


    These were precisely the words said to Xiao Suo when he was sent flying.


    Who knew, the matters of the world were unpredictable. Soon, the same thing happened to Bai Yan.


    “You are toying with me!”


    Bai Yan reacted, instantly so frustrated that he trembled. Rage burned in his heart. It turned out that Xiao Chen had been ying him for a fool from the start.


    “I’m not toying with you. I just want you to know, right now, you are nothing. So, put away your pitiful pride and stop acting superior, disdaining everything. I will not interfere with the grudges between you and Xiao Suo. Someday, he will personally end the grudge himself.”


    Bai Yan’s expression changed as he red at Xiao Chen with gritted teeth. “Many thanks for teaching this Bai a lesson. However, if you expect this trash to surpass me, then you are making too much of him.”


    Not showing any fear, Xiao Chen looked at the other party coldly and said, enunciating every word heavily, “The river flows east for thirty years and flows west for thirty years. Who can tell what the future holds? Scram and don’t appear before me again.”


    “You will regret this.” A venomous light shed in Bai Yan’s eyes. After ring at Xiao Chen, he left quickly.


    Xiao Suo, who was at the side, teared up a little. He had already vented his frustration. However, for some reason, he felt terrified and panicked.


    “Little Friend Xiao Chen, you should not have let him go. That person is a venomous snake and is very good at biding his time. In the future...” Old Gui sighed softly at the side.


    Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Suo and said, “Did you hear what Senior Gui said? However, I have confidence that one day, you will help me chop up this venomous snake!”


    Senior Gui was startled. It turned out that Xiao Chen let this person live on purpose, to stimte Xiao Suo.


    Likewise, Xiao Chen could tell that Bai Yan should not be left alive. However, he left Bai Yan alive. Such courage and boldness were truly respectable.


    “Even if it is just gratitude for today, I will definitely personally kill Bai Yan in the future,” Xiao Suo said seriously, falling to one knee and feeling extremely touched.


    Seeing Xiao Suo’s fighting spirit, Xiao Chen was stunned at first. Then, he revealed a gratified smile and helped Xiao Suo up.


    There was nothing to fear from rage. What one should fear was being blinded by rage and losing one’s fighting spirit. Such a person would then be truly crippled.


    When Xiao Chen saw Xiao Suo’s gaze, Xiao Chen knew that this was a determined man. Xiao Suo’s sobering up and resolving his preupation, recovering his fighting spirit, were worth Xiao Chen’s making a move today.


    At this moment, Xiao Chen did not realize that his actions here would create a legendary Pirate King who would travel the seven great forbidden seas, one who would be willing to go to all lengths for him.


    “Senior Gui, let’s begin.”


    “From where should we begin?”


    “First, help me upgrade the throne. Without my help, it will be hard for others to understand the tricks in it.”


    “Hehe! I was thinking the same. I, Old Gui, am also very interested in this throne.”


    In the following two days, Xiao Chen remained in the Pirate Alliance, hanging out with Senior Gui and making all sorts of preparations.


    The work involved in these projects was tremendous. It was not something that could bepleted in a short time.


    Nevertheless, after two days, Xiao Chen had to leave temporarily for Idle Cloud Restaurant.


    In one more day, it would be the appointed date with Senior Liu, so Xiao Chen needed to go and meet with Senior Liu in Idle Cloud Restaurant. The other party would bring not only a medicinal pill for reconstructing the dantian but also the various materials that Xiao Chen needed for the Heavenly Yang Pill.


    However, Xiao Chen had killed the Ice-Snow Sword Luo Feng and caused Yan Xin to lose all dignity, resulting in Yan Xin forming a heart demon. This triggered a great storm in the city; everyone knew about it. There would definitely be plenty of trouble on this trip.


    Xiao Chen already anticipated all sorts of possibilities and made ns, yet when the true storm arrived, it still far exceeded his expectations.
