CHAPTER 117: Who’s Afraid of Whom in Desperation?
Xiao Qi could only smile bitterly, knowing that Ye Wubo didn't believe him, but he still tried hard to convince him, “Ye Wubo, let’s be honest, am I Xiao Qi someone who fears trouble? Even if the two of us really end up fighting, do you think I, Xiao Qi, would be afraid of you, Ye Wubo?”
Xiao Qi spoke sincerely, “If I were the one who did all these things, why would I need to explain? Isn’t it simpler just to fight it out? Brother Ye, you have to believe in my sincerity.”
Ye Wubo chuckled and said, filled with genuine admiration, “Xiao Qi, oh Xiao Qi, I truly admire you! How is it that you have such a way with words? I’m puzzled; you touch your upper lip to your lower lip, and white turns to black; then you touch your lower lip to your upper lip, and black turns back to white…”
Ye Wubo said speechlessly, “Xiao Qi, with a mouth like yours, why do you even practice swordplay? Just charge at any opponent with your tongue! Even a supreme expert wouldn’t be your match... This mouth, paired with your thick skin... Truly unrivaled in the Nine Heavens!”
Xiao Qi's face turned as dark as a pot bottom, and he angrily said, “You don’t believe me?”
Ye Wubo replied, “Don’t give me this nonsense! I’m only asking you, how did you get injured? Don’t tell me some crap like you just had a fight. Your two subordinates don’t have any injuries? You just fought someone here, and you’re this hurt, but your two subordinates couldn’t have been that careless, right?”
Xiao Qi angrily retorted, “That person fought me alone, and it was very brief... I lost as soon as we engaged! They didn’t even have a chance to move! What, you don’t believe me?”
Ye Wubo grinned and said, “Well, listening to you is a bit uncomfortable; it seems your tongue is in a bit of trouble. Can I know what happened to your tongue?”
Xiao Qi’s face flushed, and he angrily replied, “It was cut by that person’s sword! What! You don’t believe me?”
Ye Wubo had a strange expression, “Can I interpret this: just now, someone came, exchanged a single blow with you, and your two subordinates didn’t have time to act. You got seriously injured by this person, who then slashed you with hundreds of sword strikes, yet you remained unharmed. Then this person lightly cut your tongue with his sword and left, and we arrived… Is that right?”
Xiao Qi nodded, “Exactly! What you said is not at all…”
Ye Wubo’s expression changed, and he burst out laughing!
The three people behind him also mocked and laughed simultaneously. Even the injured elder with a goat beard, carried on his brother’s back, couldn’t help but join in the ridicule.
“Simply a once-in-a-lifetime tale!” Ye Wubo laughed uncontrollably, “Xiao Qi, throughout the Nine Heavens, if it comes to eloquence, nonsense, and outright lying, you are undoubtedly the number one!”
Xiao Qi’s expression turned cold as he said, “Ye Wubo, don’t think I’m afraid of you. I’ve done all I can; I have a clear conscience! If you don’t believe me, then I can’t help it! When the truth comes to light one day, I’m afraid you, Ye Wubo, will be left with no place to hide!”
“Done all you can, clear conscience... Hahaha...” Ye Wubo laughed uproariously but suddenly his expression turned cold and vicious, cursing loudly, “Xiao Qi, fuck your mother! Xiao Qi! Your ancestors! Xiao Qi, I’ll turn over your ancestors for eighteen generations! You despicable, shameless bastard! You filthy, dirty piece of trash! You shameless dog! You heartless... You bastard! You actually treat me, Ye Wubo, as a fool, playing with me for eighteen years isn’t enough, and now you dare to tell such a colossal lie to my face…”
This outburst was truly the pinnacle of insults in the Nine Heavens! From ancestors to descendants, all of Xiao Qi’s female relatives were thoroughly cursed by Ye Wubo.
Xiao Qi, unable to contain his rage, felt an immense fury rising in him. His face turned dangerously red, nostrils flaring, “Ye Wubo! You bastard spitting filth! You actually think I’m afraid of you! I’ve been toying with you for eighteen years? Fuck your ancestors! You think you’re a noble lady? Why would I have the interest to toy with you for eighteen years? Bah! Since you want a fight, then a fight it is! Tonight, can’t I, Xiao Qi, kill the Thirteenth Master of the Ye Family?”
