For the whole morning, Li Mo didn't see anything else besides the bronze mirror. But Liu Yan had Li Mo prostrating himself in admiration. Whether it was rouge, makeup, jewelry, or clothes, as long as it caught her eye, she took it all. Li Mo and Bai Xiao were her free laborers, carrying everything Liu Yan bought.
"My dear grandaunt, when are you going to stop shopping?"
Li Mo complained.
"Alright, alright, I'll be done soon!"
Despite his words, his eyes never left the stalls on either side.
Li Mo didn't know how many times he heard Liu Yan's words this morning, but in the end, he gave up. He and Bai Xiao looked at each other with a wry smile.
At last, Liu Yan stopped in front of a restaurant.
"Li Mo, Bai Xiao, let's go get something to eat. Why do I feel so hungry?"
"Perfect. Whatever you want, it's on me."
Li Mo was overjoyed and rushed into the restaurant with Bai Xiao, afraid Liu Yan would go back on her word.
The three of them sat at a table near the window on the second floor and ordered some special dishes.
Liu Yan spread her morning's harvest on the table, admiring them one by one.
Suddenly, a clamor came from downstairs.
"Master Wen, there's no window seat on the second floor. How about the first floor?"
"Damn it, I want to sit on the second floor. If there's no place left, you go figure it out. Or I'll smash your damn restaurant!"
…
Thump!
Thump!
The sound of footsteps came from the second floor. The boss was sweating as he looked at the customers around him. His eyes finally fell on Li Mo's table.
"Little brother, can you see if you can change tables? This one is reserved."
"I say, boss, why didn't anyone tell me there was someone here?"
Li Mo and the rest heard the commotion.
He also knew why the restaurant owner was looking for him.
"Little brother!
The waiter didn't know just now. Come on, I won't charge you for your meal, okay? "
"Humph!
Can't we afford it?
Are you trying to bully us just because we're small?
Is this how you do business? "
Liu Yan couldn't stand it. When did she ever suffer like this?
"What are you talking about, little girl? I …"
"Boss Wang, I'd like to see who's the one who's not giving way."
The sound of someone coming up the stairs could be heard again. A young man in embroidered robes came up with a group of attendants.
Li Mo peeked at him. Slanted brows, small eyes, and a big mouth.
With the strength of a high-level martial artist, the followers behind him were all very arrogant.
Looks like he's a good-for-nothing from that family.
"Yo!
Where did such a beautiful lady come from? "
When the youth in brocade clothes saw Liu Yan, his saliva almost flowed out.
"Boss Wang, there's nothing for you to do here. You can go back to your work!
Hehe. "
The owner of the restaurant felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders and he hurriedly ran downstairs.
The youth in embroidered robes came to Liu Yan's side with a grin, ignoring Li Mo.
"Miss, it's fine if you want to sit here. What would you like to eat? How about I, Wen Feng, treat you?"
Liu Yan wanted to vomit at Wen Feng's appearance. But Liu Yan wasn't your average woman. Since he brought so many followers, he must have some influence in Taiping Town. Taiping Town might be small compared to Fanyang County, but it was still his territory. Liu Yan didn't want to cause trouble for Li Mo and did her best to control her emotions.
"No need. I'll order whatever I want. You don't have to treat me."
"Ha-ha … nice character. I like it. Lady, why don't you follow me? You'll have a good life, much better than this pauper."
Wen Feng then glanced at Li Mo.
It was safe to say Liu Yan couldn't control her emotions anymore.
With a whoosh, Liu Yan splashed the tea in front of her on Wen Feng's face without any waste.
Little White, who was on his shoulder, also bared its teeth at him.
"Get lost!"
Wen Feng wiped his face, and his expression immediately changed. He had never been humiliated like this in Taiping Town. Moreover, the other party was a woman. This made him lose all his dignity in front of him.
"Damn it, you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Tie this whore up and bring her to my manor. See how I …"
Bang!
Wen Feng didn't even get to finish before Li Mo slapped him to the ground.
"F * ck, you're asking for it! How dare you hit our young master!"
When the attendants saw their master being beaten, how could they sit still? They immediately surrounded him.
How could this motley crew scare Li Mo?
Thump!
Thump!
Li Mo's Scorching Sun Fist threw them to the ground. They didn't even have time to scream before fainting.
They were mortals and couldn't bear the Scorching Sun Fist's power. If Li Mo didn't use his internal qi and had perfect control over it, they would've been corpses by now.
The surrounding customers were so frightened that they fled the restaurant. The restaurant owner and the waiters were also horrified.
Wen Feng was a tyrant in Taiping Town. Now that he had been beaten up in his own restaurant, if the Wen family came looking for him, he would be in serious trouble!
Li Mo walked to Wen Feng's side, his eyes as sharp as swords, sending a chill down Wen Feng's spine.
His mouth was foaming with blood as he groaned. No one knew what he was trying to express.
"Let me tell you, I don't care who you are. I'll spare your life for now. If I ever see you bully others again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
After that, he led Liu Yan and Bai Xiao down the stairs.
"You can't leave!"
The boss blocked Li Mo's way.
"You want to leave after getting into trouble? Do you know who you beat up?
That's the First Young Master of the Wen Clan. The people from the Wen Clan will be here soon. You're dead! "
"If you didn't want us to switch places, would this have happened?
Now that something has happened and you're afraid of being implicated, I think it's better for you to close your restaurant. "
Li Mo was disgusted by the boss's face.
"Little Xiao, take her back. I'll be right behind you."
Bai Xiao heard Li Mo's words and pulled Liu Yan away. Liu Yan knew they would only distract Li Mo if they stayed.
"Be careful, I'll be waiting!"
With that, he followed Bai Xiao out of the restaurant.
The boss knew Li Mo wasn't your average man and didn't dare stop them. As long as Li Mo was here, even if the Wen clan came, he'd still be able to answer to them.
Li Mo was alone and had no worries. He pulled a chair and sat down, waiting for the Wen clan to arrive.
As expected, in less than a cup of tea's time, the sound of hooves came from the street.
Ten burly men rode tall horses to the entrance of the restaurant and dismounted.
"Who hurt my young master?
Damn it, are you tired of living? "
Li Mo saw the ten big men were all martial warriors, each with a fiendish expression.
Wen Feng heard the commotion upstairs and staggered downstairs, still spitting blood and whimpering. He pointed at Li Mo. It seemed Li Mo's slap wasn't light.
"Young master, are you alright?"
Seeing their Young Master injured like this, the two men hurriedly went forward to support him.
The leader glared angrily at Li Mo.
"Fuck, you hurt my young master?
You're courting death! "
The man took out a saber and slashed at Li Mo with scarlet flames.
The raging flames engulfed Li Mo.
"Ha-ha …!
With such little skill, you dare hurt my young master? You overestimate yourself! "
The burly man had a complacent look on his face. He had defeated his opponent in one move and avenged Wen Feng. When he returned, the Clan Head would definitely reward him.
However, his smile only lasted for a moment before it froze.
The young man who was engulfed by his flames was still sitting there, and the flames he emitted had disappeared without a trace.
"You attacked me. Now it's my turn!"
Li Mo's voice was calm, but it was grating to the man's ears.
Whoosh!
It was the same flame in Li Mo's hand, but the difference in power was like heaven and earth. The intermediate warrior couldn't dodge in time.
"Ah!"
With a blood-curdling scream, the burly man instantly turned into a ball of raging fire. He stumbled and struggled for a while, and then no longer moved. A mid-level warrior had died tragically like this, leaving all the people present dumbfounded.
This was especially true for the people from the Wen Clan. That burly man was the strongest among them, yet he couldn't even withstand a single blow from this young man. How could they have any thoughts of continuing to fight? They immediately pulled Wen Feng, who was still crying, and fled in a sorry state.
Li Mo didn't give chase. He didn't want to make things worse. Just teaching them a lesson was enough.
If they were to come after him, he wouldn't mind getting rid of this tumor in Taiping Town.
He stood up, smiled at the owner of the restaurant, and walked out in a carefree manner.
Seeing his tavern in shambles, and the pile of men turned to dust, he knew no one would dare come here again. He couldn't help but recall Li Mo's words.
