Chapter 16: They Are Too Weak, One Punch Can Kill One

"Lord, Yan has been out of contact for a month, I am truly worried."

Xu Mother said with a worried look.

Xu Junhe, the richest man in Donghe County, was nearly forty but still retained the handsomeness of his youth. He now wore a troubled expression.

"Madam, Yan must be strictly disciplined and cannot be indulged any longer. You can't pamper him like this!"

"Lord, what are you talking about? I only have this one son. If I don't pamper him, who will I pamper?"

Xu Mother said with dissatisfaction.

"I..."

Xu Junhe sighed.

At this moment, a maid rushed in: "Lord, Madam, Young Master is back!"

"Yan is back?"

Xu Mother's face lit up with joy as she hurried out, muttering, "Is he thinner or tanner? Has he been hurt?"

Xu Junhe sighed and followed behind with a stern face.

"Where is Master Pan? Be careful, carry it in, I will operate on it myself."

Xu Yan was directing the servants to carry the Red-Eyed Tiger into the slaughterhouse, preparing to skin it himself.

He also sent a servant to find Master Pan, the family's resident physician.

"What kind of tiger is this? It's so big?"

"Even though it's dead, I still feel my legs go weak when I stand in front of it!"

Several guards and servants looked at the dead Red-Eyed Tiger and were all shocked.

Even though it was dead, standing in front of the Red-Eyed Tiger still gave them a sense of fear and weakness.

Even the guards who practiced martial arts and had hunted tigers before felt an inner unease when standing in front of this giant tiger.

The guards lifted the stretcher and carried the Red-Eyed Tiger to the slaughterhouse.

"Yan, come let Mother see if you've lost weight."

Xu Mother's doting voice called out.

"Mother!"

Seeing his mother, Xu Yan immediately became obedient.

"Father!"

Xu Junhe's face was stern: "You still know how to come home?"

As soon as he opened his mouth to scold, Xu Mother immediately became dissatisfied, saying, "Lord, Yan just got back, control your temper."

"I..."

Xu Junhe held his breath, unable to speak.

He could only glare at Xu Yan fiercely to discipline him.

Xu Mother pulled Xu Yan, looking him over from left to right. He hadn't lost weight or tanned, but had become more robust. Seeing that her son hadn't suffered, her heart immediately relaxed.

"Yan, you..."

Suddenly, she saw the Red-Eyed Tiger on the stretcher and exclaimed, "Yan, did you hunt this giant tiger?"

Xu Mother's face was now tense.

"Mother, I bought it!"

To avoid worrying his mother, Xu Yan had to lie.

He didn't dare say that he had killed the Red-Eyed Tiger himself.

"Ah, you bought it, that's good, that's good!"

Xu Mother immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it was a matter of money, there was no danger. As long as her precious son didn't take risks, spending any amount of money was worth it.

Xu Junhe looked at the Red-Eyed Tiger, feeling a chill. This giant tiger was too terrifying, even in death, it still gave a sense of oppression.

He had seen tigers before!

He had even hunted them.

However, this giant tiger was extraordinary. Even in death, it still had a deterrent presence.

"What kind of tiger is this? I've never seen it before!"

Xu Junhe asked in confusion.

"Lord, we've never seen it either!"

The guards also shook their heads.

"Father, this is the king of tigers, the Red-Eyed Tiger!"

Xu Yan said.

"Red-Eyed Tiger?"

Xu Junhe looked puzzled, he had never heard of it.

He looked at the guards, who also shook their heads.

A servant said, "Lord, the Red-Eyed Tiger is from a storybook, said to be the legendary king of tigers!"

Xu Junhe's face darkened, glaring at Xu Yan, "How can you believe something from a storybook!"

Although this giant tiger was terrifying, he didn't believe it was something from a storybook. He thought it was just a rare and fierce tiger.

Xu Yan didn't argue, knowing his father wouldn't believe him.

Neither would the others believe it was something from a storybook.

The guards carried the Red-Eyed Tiger into the slaughterhouse. Xu Yan chatted with his mother for a while, then went to the slaughterhouse to skin the tiger himself.

"The Red-Eyed Tiger, truly the king of tigers. An ordinary person probably couldn't pierce its skin with a sharp knife!"

Xu Yan sighed in amazement.

Master Pan arrived and was also amazed at the giant tiger.

At Xu Yan's request, he selected several dozen precious medicinal herbs from the Xu family's medicine store, most of which were for replenishing qi and blood, to be used with the Red-Eyed Tiger's flesh, bones, and blood to make nourishing medicine.

Xu Junhe casually strolled over, glanced at the tiger carcass, and said, "Master Pan, remember to handle the tiger's penis properly."

Master Pan hurriedly smiled and nodded, "Lord, rest assured. I will use half of the tiger's penis to brew a jar of Tiger King Wine, and the other half to make a Great Yang Pill. Even in old age, one can remain vigorous!"

Xu Junhe nodded in satisfaction, "Mm, Master Pan, if you need any precious herbs, just ask."

Xu Yan couldn't help but speak up, "Father, this tiger's penis, I still have..."

He intended to offer it to his master.

Xu Junhe glared at him angrily, "Do you think I need it? Your grandfather is not young and has a busy official career. He needs this nourishing medicine.

"Doesn't your grandfather love you so much, and you don't know how to be filial?"

Xu Yan opened his mouth but finally accepted his father's decision about the tiger's penis.

"With my master's cultivation level, he wouldn't look at the tiger's penis. Besides, it's not very elegant. If my master doesn't like it, wouldn't that be a problem?"

Thinking this, Xu Yan felt it was better to give the tiger skin to his master.

"Humph!"

Xu Junhe, seeing that he had disciplined his son, strolled away.

Master Pan followed, "Lord, do you really not need it? I was planning to use the tiger's penis to brew a weaker medicine more suitable for your age."

Xu Junhe patted Master Pan's shoulder, "Old Pan, I don't need it, but I can give it away. Some of my business associates at my age might need it, so do as you planned."

Master Pan looked at him suspiciously but didn't press the issue, nodding, "Understood, I know what to do!"

That night, the Xu family was filled with joy. The madam was happy and distributed a reward, even hosting a banquet. The servants were elated and enjoyed themselves.

Their foolish young master, who had been out for a month, had finally returned.

And he had bought a giant tiger, said to be a tiger king!

In the inner courtyard of the Xu family, a pot of tiger king meat was cooked. Xu Junhe and his wife ate a small bowl and couldn't eat any more.

Xu Yan ate most of the pot of tiger king meat by himself.

The remaining portion was given to the family's guards.

These guards were top-notch experts in the martial world, hired by Xu Junhe from several martial arts sects.

Now, these martial experts were no longer in Xu Yan's eyes.

He thought they were too weak.

One punch could kill one.

Of course, he had learned martial arts from them when he was young, so their relationship was still good.

After eating the tiger meat, Xu Yan returned to his residence, where no one could enter without his permission.

This was his place for practicing.

After returning last time, he had it renovated, adding a secret room.
