Chapter 417: Chapter 417: How Could a Freak Not Do Freakish Things?

Liu Yiren asked in surprise, "So you’re saying you’ve never left Baihua City?"

"Not really, I just haven’t gone out in recent years, so I’ve been staying in Baihua City. Blood Cloud Tower has issued a bounty on my head—five billion for it." Tan Yi shrugged, not sure if he was mocking himself or indifferent as he spoke.

"I never would have guessed, your head’s quite valuable." Qin Yi smiled strangely and said, "I love money, so should I collect your head for the reward?"

Tan Yi gave a bitter smile, "Brother, I’ll give you five billion, spare me, will you?"

Qin Yi couldn’t help laughing, "If I took your head for the money, I’d probably get nothing. They’d want my head as well."

"True, I heard that when you were in Qianxing City, you extorted twenty billion from Xie Jiang, the Vice Building Owner of Blood Cloud Tower, and even killed a few of their people. No wonder they hate you more than they hate me."

"With your personality, if things develop this way, maybe one day Blood Cloud Tower will forget about a nobody like me and focus all their efforts on dealing with you."

Qin Yi smiled, "The enmity between me and Blood Cloud Tower is irreconcilable. But if they want to kill me, they probably don’t have what it takes."

"True enough, not to mention your freakish level; your cultivation is unfathomable. Just your identity alone keeps them from daring to make a move openly. If they piss off the Azure Dragon Guardian God, Blood Cloud Tower might vanish from this world by tomorrow."

Qin Yi didn’t argue. The world believed he relied on the Azure Dragon, but what did it matter? Qin Yi couldn’t be bothered to explain, nor did he care to.

As they spoke, they arrived at the barbecue shop Tan Yi mentioned.

The shop wasn’t big, about a hundred square meters, but despite it being late night, business was still booming.

"Don’t be fooled by the shop’s size; the taste is pretty good."

Qin Yi laughed, "To get a high evaluation from Young Master Tan, the taste can’t be that bad, can it?"

"That’s right, I can’t say much else, but when it comes to food, drink, and entertainment, nobody does it better than me."

"Psh, in the end, living in drunken stupor is just wasting time," Liu Yiren sneered.

Tan Yi chuckled, "Life is short, enjoy it while it lasts. That’s my life philosophy."

They found a seat, and Tan Yi picked up the menu and ordered seven or eight items in one go. Then he handed the menu to Qin Yi, "Order a bit more, Little Beauty, get whatever you like."

Qin Yi handed the menu to Liu Yiren, smiling, "You’ve ordered so much, it’s enough."

Liu Yiren ordered some vegetarian dishes like grilled mushrooms and beans, then handed it to the waiter. She then curiously asked, "I saw something called ’crunchy’ on your list, what’s that?"

Tan Yi replied casually, "Ox penis!"

Liu Yiren frowned, "Disgusting, you found so many women, no amount of this will make up for it."

"Something’s better than nothing," Tan Yi laughed and waved, "Waiter, bring a cold beer."

The beer arrived quickly.

Tan Yi popped the bottle cap with his thumb and handed it to Liu Yiren, "Can you drink?"

Liu Yiren took the bottle, "My alcohol tolerance is not something you can handle."

"Ha, a heroine among women, no false modesty, I like it!"

Liu Yiren sneered, "Please, being liked by you would give me nightmares."

Tan Yi grinned and opened a bottle for Qin Yi, and then another for himself.

The waiter brought over three draft beer mugs, one bottle filled one mug perfectly.

"Come on, let’s have a toast to our newfound friendship," Tan Yi raised his glass.

Qin Yi and Liu Yiren were about to clink glasses with him, but Tan Yi pulled his glass back a bit, "Let me be clear, tonight we’re just eating and drinking, no talk of other matters."

Liu Yiren was displeased and bumped her glass heavily against his, "You talk like following Qin Yi is a loss for you. A man must at least have some responsibilities, right? You spend all day in a pile of women, it’s a waste of the great potential Heaven gave you."

Tan Yi clinked glasses with Qin Yi and downed his beer in big gulps, wiping the foam from his mouth, "Little beauty, I’m telling you, everyone’s goals are different. I admire Qin Yi’s concern for the world. But the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Qin Yi’s strong cultivation is meant for big things. With my modest cultivation, I’ll just protect this little piece of Baihua City."

Qin Yi poured the beer down his throat, "You really won’t consider joining me?"

Tan Yi shook his head, "I’m a simple man with no big ambitions, just want to protect Baihua City and live the life I like."

Qin Yi gave a wry smile; Tan Yi was indeed a tough nut to crack, unyielding in every way.

Yet, Tan Yi was a crucial piece in Qin Yi’s plan, one that couldn’t be missing.

Tan Yi opened more beer and handed them to Qin Yi and Liu Yiren.

By the time the food was served, they’d already had three bottles, and while beer was refreshing, it was also filling.

Qin Yi felt like he was getting slightly full.

Tan Yi handed Qin Yi a skewer of grilled lamb penis, "Come on, eat this and you’ll see a boost."

Qin Yi laughed, "Then yours must be quite small, huh? Those women of yours, poor things."

"Damn, you’re such an old hand at this, always on the mark," Tan Yi said as he stuffed the roasted penis into his mouth, biting with a crunchy sound.

Qin Yi finally understood why it was called crunchy.

"You’re not afraid, are you?" Qin Yi suddenly asked.

Tan Yi didn’t catch on, "Afraid of what?"

Qin Yi teased, "You’re not scared of Blood Cloud Tower, worried that if you follow me out of Baihua City, you’ll be snuffed out, right?"

Tan Yi’s face darkened, "Nonsense! Why would I be afraid of Blood Cloud Tower? They should be afraid of me."

"Oh? Why should they be afraid?"

Tan Yi said, "They used to fear me, but now their focus has likely shifted to you."

"What do you mean?"

"They want to nip the danger in the bud. I’m not boasting, but if they say they’re not afraid of my growth rate, they’re lying. I’m twenty-eight this year, a step away from Great Perfection in Foundation Establishment; in a few more years when I’m fully grown, wiping out Blood Cloud Tower would be a matter of minutes."

"But you’ve emerged as such a monster, they probably have their hands full with you now, because you’re far scarier."

Qin Yi paused for a moment, raised his glass to clink with him, "You’ve got a point."

In just half an hour, they’d finished two more sets of beers, and Liu Yiren barely drank after that.

Both of them were feeling a slight buzz.

Qin Yi looked at Tan Yi, "Since we have a common enemy, we should join forces."

"No way!" Tan Yi refused without thinking, "Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. In Baihua City, I’m at least somebody; I don’t want to be your underling."

"Then I’ll be your underling."

"Nonsense, you’re a born leader, if you became my underling, I’d fear I’d sleep like a stone at night."

"Qin Yi, let me put it this way: I’m ranked ninety, there are eighty-nine people ahead of me, all monstrous talents. Given that they’re monstrous, how could they follow you? It’s impossible for them to do un-monster-like things. So, your chance of succeeding in this is almost zero."
