Chapter 49: 49: Utter Embarrassment

"Enlighten me." Ma Jun crossed his arms before his puffed chest. "If you are wrong, I will cut off your tongue and feed it to my pigs."

Ash contemplated for a brief moment before he said as thus, "The night is young, yet we do not have the real Arachnid’s Silk. It will be a waste of my time if I ought to explain every boring detail. However, I know a way to test an Arachnid’s Silk."

"So? What are you going to do?"

"May I have your outer garment, please?"

Already swallowed by his pride, Ma Jun couldn’t back down or his reputation would plummet!

"Sure! Here you go." Ma Jun handed the outer garment of his hanfu to him.

"As you may know already, Arachnid’s Silk is very durable and has very high heat resistance. It won’t burn by a simple, worldly flame. Only Primordial Qi could heat the silk until its combustion point! This method is commonly used by any merchant in my country to test the quality of their goods."

Ma Jun snorted mockingly. "Even a Qi Condensation Stage Cultivator would have a hard time to procure even one drop of Primordial Qi."

"Not for me."

Ash smiled contemptuously. After which, he activated the [Two Fingers Soaring To Heaven], he imbued his Primordial Qi into the skill and made his fingers look like a very sharp and hot blade.

At this instance, the searing heat of his Primordial Qi made the room temperature spiked! The wine, water, and any moisture in the air began to evaporate. As for the robe’s outer garment, the fabric began to wrinkle by the time he put his fingers closer to it.

"Hmmm... This is weird. The real Arachnid’s Silk should not be easily burned like this. Ah! Now, I remember these characteristics! This robe is made from Yellow Autumn Silkworm! It has a similar look and texture, but the quality is way different, like heaven and earth!"

"Oooohh!!!!"

"Amazing!"

"This young man must be a Jade Grade Appraiser, at least. And I’m sure his Appraisal Skill is higher than what appears to our eyes!"

At the same time, Ma Jun was utterly terrified yet also embarrassed. If only he knew that this young man in black hanfu robe was a Jade Grade Appraiser, Ma Jun would not dare to mess with him!

Notwithstanding the mobs’ bickering voice, Ash deactivated his skill and returned the outer garment to Ma Jun.

"Are there any objections?" Ash straightened his back, looking at Ma Jun scrutinizingly.

Ma Jun clenched the outer garment in his fist tightly. His plump and ample cheeks reddened like a pair of butts after being slapped one thousand times.

"H-hmph! I will let it slide this time!" Ma Jun turned away while stomping his stubby legs. "My father won’t be happy to hear this!"

"Please come again!" Ash raised his voice sardonically as Ma Jun stepped outside.

At this time, Laufei ran to the owner’s embrace, she buried her face as if into the owner’s face just like a daughter would do to her mother.

"Owner... I’m terribly sorry! I am such a useless kid!"

"Ssshh... you are not useless at all." The restaurant owner then looked at the young man scrutinizingly. "We will be eternally indebted for your kindness, Young Lord."

Ash waved his hands and head together. "No, no, no. Please, don’t fret it. I did it for my own interest after all. Besides, I will be very sad if this restaurant goes bankrupt after being framed and underhandedly wronged with such a trick."

"Underhanded trick?" Laufei tilted her head to the said, she clearly didn’t understand how the crime’s work.

Ash sighed dejectedly, he really hates to explain such horrid things to an innocent girl like her.

"From the beginning, you are his target, Laufei. To sell you into slavery. He deliberately caused rufus, flaunting his luxurious robe in a public place, and even extorting you forcefully after he made you spill the dishes onto his robe. Everything was devised just to trap you with guilt, and to trap your mind into thinking that he was all powerful and couldn’t be touched. Hah! I can see everything by the time my gaze lands on that sorry fattard!"

Laufei chuckled hearing his accent. It sounds very funny to hear ears. "Thank you for saving me. Mr..."

"Xiao Hûo. You may call me, Hûo for short."

"Thank you, Young Lord Xiao Hûo." The restaurant owner bowed in deep gratitude and she looked at him closely. "My name is Lau Yi. How can we repay your kindness? You said it yourself that you helped her for your own interest, no?"

"Rest assured, it has nothing to do with you two. More importantly, what should we do if Ma Jun opted to come back here hauling his fat butts and his entourages? Furthermore, that pompous brat must be crying out loud to his daddy as we speak."

"We, we don’t know... As you can see, we have no man to protect us in this establishment..."

Everybody in the restaurant fell silent. Afterward, they immediately paid for the meals and left the restaurant just like that. Ash definitely could relate to the guests that didn’t want to partake in this conundrum any further. They still had work to do and feed their family and children first thing in the morning.

Likewise, Ash stretched his arms high above his head. It’s been a while since he had a nice sleep.

"Anyway... how much for my meal?"

"No, please. You don’t need to pay. We can’t afford to always be on the receiving end of your kindness!" Said Lau Yi.

Ash scratched his temple, he had no idea what to say after they vehemently refused the payment.

"Alright then. I will find myself an inn and will come back here early in the morning to check on you two."

"En! We will be waiting for your return! Lord Huô!"

With that said, Ash left the restaurant with both hands clasped on his back. Suddenly, multiple murderous auras shot out into the sky, they homed at his direction, and appeared before him in an instance.

"Oh, wow. It’s way sooner than I expected."
