Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 130: Not Worthy of Me

Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Not Worthy of Me

This lady called Yang Fang, upon meeting him, didn’t hold back at all and started criticizing Chu Feng right away.

The way she looked at Chu Feng was also full of disdain.

Essentially, she considered him to be nothing more than a shiny pile of impressive-looking cow dung. Perhaps in her mind, since the Sword King Mansion was so poor, Chu Feng shouldn’t be wearing new clothes made of silk.

"Sister Yang Fang, you see our young uncle is still young! Give it two or three years, and he could possibly become a First-grade Alchemist too!" Qiao Yue’er, seeing the situation getting awkward, quickly spoke up for Chu Feng.

"I can’t agree with that! You can tell a person’s future at the age of three, and it’s clear by age seven, he’s already sixteen and still lacks ambition. His future prospects, I’m afraid, are very bleak. Like my Elder Cousin, who became a First-grade Alchemist at twenty-one and joined the Alchemy Master Guild at twenty-six. I’m about the same age as Chu Feng and currently, I am the Manager at Hong’s Alchemy Store."

Yang Fang’s words were very sharp, clearly displaying her pride.

She seemed like an unattainable white swan, while Chu Feng was nothing more than a toad wishing for swan meat.

"Yang Fang, let’s eat!" The aunt, seeing the situation might turn sour, quickly stood up to smooth things over. "You child, don’t blame your aunt for saying this, but you’re just too proud! There are only a few young people as outstanding as you and my son in this world."

"As for Chu Feng, I quite understand his background. He was raised with difficulty by his brother and sister-in-law."

"I can’t boast about other aspects, but he certainly learned how to endure hardships."

Chu Feng listened until he had black lines forming on his forehead.

F*ck, what does it mean he learned how to endure hardships? Isn’t this just another way of saying he has no other skills, except for eating dirt?

The atmosphere relaxed somewhat under the aunt’s intervention.

Add to that, the four dishes Chu Feng had ordered were all particularly expensive and delicious.

Everyone at the table enjoyed the meal quite a bit.

During the meal, Chu Feng kept his head down and ate fiercely, finishing off those costly dishes.

Yang Fang, on the other hand, ate with elegant, small bites, occasionally sticking out her delicate tongue to lick her lips. She looked down on Chu Feng even more, seeing him as just a poor kid eating like a starving ghost reincarnated.

Chu Feng, however, did not care about others’ opinions and enjoyed his meal heartily.

Elder Cousin was indeed a real lecher, his eyes roaming constantly over the faces of Qiao Yue’er, Little Lan, and Yang Fang. This provoked his wife to glare at him repeatedly.

But given the presence of so many people and being in a public place, even though his wife was furiously jealous, she held back her anger.

However, judging by her icy expression, she was likely to severely deal with Elder Cousin when they got home.

"Elder Cousin, being an Alchemist from the Alchemy Master Guild, you must have a high status and know many important people,"

"When will you introduce some of them to me?"

Yang Fang didn’t even look directly at Chu Feng, but stared admiringly at Elder Cousin, asking him to help expand her connections for better opportunities.

"Hey, that’s no problem at all! You know, the Alchemy Master Guild oversees all the alchemists in the Jianyun Dynasty. Even the alchemists from your Hong’s Alchemy Store are under our management."

"I can easily introduce a few influential alchemists and big shots to you, guaranteeing a swift rise for you in Hong’s Alchemy Store. Even the Hong Family Master, the hidden rudder behind your Hong’s Alchemy Store, I know him too."

"It was partially due to my efforts last time when you got promoted to manager. I spoke on your behalf in front of the Hong Family Master and the Shopkeeper, Chief Steward at Hong’s Alchemy Store, which led them to regard you so highly."

Elder Cousin, having had a few drinks, was rambling and boasting, an absolute expert in that regard.

Yang Fang, this naive girl, actually believed such patently false claims. She nodded continuously, her eyes full of gratitude towards Elder Cousin, sparkling like little stars.

"Come on, Elder Cousin, let me toast to you!" Yang Fang raised her glass and clinked it with her cousin’s.

If it weren’t for the fact that her cousin was married, she would have married Chu Feng without hesitation.

Chu Feng had almost finished eating and was ready to go outside for some air; he definitely didn’t want to stay here and be ridiculed by his cousin and the others.

Out of politeness, he stood up and smiled at his aunt, Yang Fang, and the others, saying, "I..." But before he could continue, Yang Fang cut him off with extreme impatience. "If you’re thinking of inviting me for a walk or something, save your breath! I’ll just tell it as it is, with your abilities and status, you are absolutely not worthy of me!"

Her gaze towards Chu Feng was filled with contempt and disgust.

The cousin also timely added insult to injury, arrogantly laughing and lecturing in the tone of a successful person, "A person should know their own limits! If you’re lowly, you should just settle for a peasant girl or a maid."

"Someone like you, who has no status, no money, and no ability, dreaming of marrying a fantastic and beautiful girl like Yang Fang is like a toad lusting after a swan’s meat. You should wake up from your daydream!"

Yang Fang and her cousin truly excelled in verbal attacks, completely thrashing Chu Feng as if he were even less than trash.

Fury appeared on Qiao Yue’er’s face, turning it ice cold.

She would never allow anyone to humiliate her uncle like that. It was fine if Yang Fang did not think highly of Chu Feng, but to utter such hurtful words was too much.

However, before she could speak, Chu Feng simply smiled coldly, looking at his cousin and Yang Fang as if they were idiots.

"What I actually wanted to say was that I’m full and need to step outside for some air! I didn’t expect that this perfect match of yours would think I had my sights set on her!"

"To borrow a line from Elder Cousin, people should be self-aware, and no one should feel too good about themselves!"

Chu Feng felt there was no need to show any more respect to his aunt’s family.

He was about to ask his sister-in-law and Little Lan to leave with him.

Just then, a slight accident occurred. An imposing elderly man came down the stairs.

This was none other than the Family Head of the Hong Family.

He had previously asked the Chairman of the Alchemy Master Guild to preside over justice, and now that the issue had been satisfactorily resolved, he naturally wanted to express his gratitude. Hence, he was here to treat Chairman Bao of the Alchemy Master Guild to a meal.

To express his gratitude, and also to take the opportunity to build a good relationship with Chairman Bao.

After all, the entire Elixir Stores and families within the Jianyun Dynasty were under the control of Chairman Bao.

Since the Hong Family Master came down first, he naturally wanted to rush to pay the bill.

It’s not like he could let Chairman Bao pay, right?

His imposing gaze swept lightly across the room, quickly locating the young man who was eagerly sought after by all major Alchemy Dao forces.

"Alchemist Chu, he’s also here! Fantastic!"

The Hong Family Head was even happier than if he had seen his own father because, after his son took the Elixirs from the Golden Talisman Sect Store, his wounds miraculously healed, and he even broke through to the Great Sword Master Realm.

The Hong Family Head naturally knew who had crafted that box of Elixirs.

It must have been the newly recruited Guest Alchemist at the Golden Talisman Sect Store.

While the Sword Qi Elixirs made by Huang Qingshan were Poison Pills,

the ones crafted by Chu Feng, however, could heal injuries and help one advance in cultivation. That’s the difference.
