574: Chapter 570: The Clown Jumps Around 574: Chapter 570: The Clown Jumps Around Xin Hengxing’s words were incredibly domineering.
Merely for interacting with Zheng Xiaoshu, he would cripple someone.
And from the murderous intent and ruthlessness in his eyes, it seemed likely that he might even take a life.
Lin Tian, who intended to stand up and push Zheng Xiaoshu away, suddenly narrowed his eyes sharply.
After hearing the shocked, mocking, or sympathetic comments from the people around, the corner of his mouth slightly raised in a cold smile, and he settled back into his seat.
“Xin Hengxing, could you put away your ridiculous facade?
Other than bullying people because of your status, what else is there to show off?
That pretty boy face of yours?”
Zheng Xiaoshu looked disgusted and somewhat helpless before she finally snorted coldly, “I’m tired of hearing this sort of thing from you, I hope this is the last time!
Now go away, stop wasting your time on me.
I, for now, just like him!
If anything happens to him, you’ll have to answer to me!”
Upon hearing this, Xin Hengxing’s brows furrowed, and he took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress the rage in his heart, continuing patiently, “Xiao Shu, stop messing around!
Don’t I understand you yet?
You’ve always been indifferent to so many young masters; even to me, you’ve been cold!
Looking across the entire Liiu Yuan City, how many can compare with me?
In terms of background, ability, or appearance, who can match me!
As for this poor and pathetic loser, you’re probably just using him as a shield against me!
Let him go, as long as you’re willing to be with me, I’ll spare his life!”
You don’t believe it, huh?”
Seeing that Xin Hengxing was relentless, Zheng Xiaoshu was secretly annoyed and slightly at a loss, then suddenly made up her mind.
After glaring at Xin Hengxing, she turned her head sharply and with her cherry lips, she fiercely “bit” down on Lin Tian.
Sitting there leisurely, suddenly “bitten,” Lin Tian couldn’t help but be stunned, his eyes widened.
And the people in the restaurant who were watching, each of them also bulged their eyes out, faces filled with shock.
Someone blurted out first, expressing their inner astonishment.
Afterwards, a commotion erupted in the restaurant.
The granddaughter of a formidable figure, the precious gem of the Zheng Family, had publicly bitten a nobody—it was simply unimaginable to them; their eyeballs nearly fell to the ground.
Xin Hengxing’s face turned completely cold, his expression as dark as the bottom of a pot.
He seemed to feel the strange looks from the others around, his face alternating between green and white.
With rage surging in his heart and a lethal glint in his eyes, Xin Hengxing could barely contain himself, and he clenched his hands, crushing the box in his hand that held the gift for Zheng Xiaoshu into pieces.
Zheng Xiaoshu’s pretty face flushed red, she glared at Lin Tian, then turned back to Xin Hengxing and said angrily, “Now do you believe it?
Please leave, and don’t bother me again in the future!”
“You think this will make me leave?”
Xin Hengxing scoffed with a cold laugh, the murderous look in his eye flickering, then he turned to Lin Tian and said coldly, “Boy, stand up now, kneel aside and wait for this young master’s judgment, I’ll make it quick!
You touched this young master’s woman, that’s a capital offense!”
“This kid is dead meat!
Just his bad luck to be used by Miss Zheng as a shield!”
In the restaurant, the crowd watching shook their heads and sighed.
But at that moment, Lin Tian’s expression gradually turned cold, his eyes icy.
“Using me as a shield and snatching my first kiss?
It would be far too forgiving not to collect some interest!”
“Besides, this Xin Hengxing is really arrogant, daring to threaten me!”
Thinking quietly to himself, Lin Tian also turned around and bit back (though only metaphorically).
“When given courtesy, return it; when given rudeness, respond in kind!”
Miss Zheng was infuriated by Lin Tian before; she had intended to use him as a shield to suppress the momentum and incidentally drive Xin Hengxing away.
But who would have thought that now she, in turn, had been forcefully bitten.
After a while, Lin Tian let go of her and then whispered with a sneer, “Using me as a shield without my consent, consider this a little interest!
Out of respect for Elder Zheng, I’ll let it slide.
If it were any other woman who dared to stab me in the back , don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
Back then, Lin Tian had been frequently teased by Xu Tangge, Tang Qianqian, and others, but it was mostly all in fun, and he never took it to heart, to say nothing of them being friends.
As for Huo Xiaoyu, he had always held back his killing intent out of respect for Aunt Liu.
And protecting Changsun Zihui was a transaction between the two of them.
But now he felt slightly undermined by Miss Zheng.
What’s more, Xin Hengxing in front of him was indeed a ruthless man; if Lin Tian were an ordinary person, he would definitely not survive the night.
Thinking this, Lin Tian naturally felt angry.
Facing Lin Tian’s icy gaze, Miss Zheng’s face turned pale with fear.
Lin Tian didn’t bother with Miss Zheng, but instead held her in his arms, looked up with a smirk at Xin Hengxing, and said with disdain, “You’re telling me to kneel down and be at your mercy?
Saying she’s your woman?
Now any clear-sighted person can see, she’s my woman!
Not sure if you’ve gone blind, or there’s something wrong with your brain!
And you keep calling yourself ‘Young Master’; I think you’re just a pathetic clown, yet oblivious to it!”
“Something wrong with his brain?
“Holy shit, it must be this kid who’s sick in the head!”
“This is Xin Hengxing of the Xin Family, he actually dares to talk back and insult him!”
“Angering Xin Hengxing— that’s a death wish!”
The crowd onlookers expressed their shock, then exclaimed one after another, with countless “Fuck”s whizzing through their minds.
In the whole Liu Yuan City, you’re the first to talk to me, Xin Hengxing, like that!”
Xin Hengxing had been stunned for a while but then laughed in rage and bellowed, “Since you’re courting death, Young Master will oblige!
I’ll cripple your limbs first, making you crawl out of the hotel!
And by tomorrow, on the Liu River, there will be an extra unidentified floating corpse!”
With that declaration, Xin Hengxing sneered as he stepped forward and lunged at Lin Tian, his formidable aura surging out.
“Eh— Peak Xuan-level Martial Artist!
No wonder he’s so arrogant; with his natural talent for Martial Arts not weak, naturally, he has the support of a behemoth like the Xin Family!
If it were someone else, they might really just disappear without a trace!
Too bad, running into me, let’s start the lesson with one hand…”
Lin Tian let out a light “Eh” and then a cold snicker.
He didn’t even stand up, holding the still-dazed Miss Zheng with one arm and reaching for Xin Hengxing’s incoming fist with the other.
