Chapter 33

"Kid, it's you. This time, I want to see how you run!" Yun Mo was so angry that his teeth itched. Ignoring the surprised guards behind him, he strode away and quickly left the sight of the two guards!

"Is this kid crazy?" The ugly man said to the short guard beside him, a nasty sneer on his face!

"Hmph, he's probably scared out of his wits after seeing his place blown up by fire spells. That's why he's acting so weird! Didn't you see him fumbling around the ground like there were gold coins? He must have been scared out of his mind. But it's a good thing we got to see a free monkey show, quite amusing! Haha..." The man laughed heartily, revealing his yellow, rusted front teeth.

"Ha ha... Old Dong, you're getting more and more interesting. Monkey show, nice description, I really have to look up to you!"

"Get lost, I'm half a scholar, unlike you, a complete illiterate, who understands nothing!"

The two men teased each other, unaware that they had already been marked by someone! Their future was full of sunshine!

...

In the northwest corner of the city lord's residence, there was a deep pond! It was formed by the convergence of streams from the surrounding mountains, and people rarely visited it! The estate was so vast that there were countless such mountainous areas, and from this glimpse, one could see how vast the empire's territory was!

Yun Mo stood by the pond, looking at the reflection of his angular, square face on the water, noticing a scar on his right cheek, which seemed to be a knife wound. He then looked at the mole on his wrist, feeling an overwhelming surge of killing intent!

He casually took out a piece of charcoal and quickly sketched the image reflected in the water on a piece of paper. In his previous life, he was a high-achieving student in architecture, capable of drawing complex architectural blueprints, so how could a person be any harder?

After a few breaths, the image was complete, looking about 90% similar!

Yun Mo nodded in satisfaction and casually tossed away the charcoal.

Restoring his appearance, he hid the drawing and left the pond!

The rain finally came! Lightning illuminated the sky, and it was a heavy downpour!

...

The torrential rain poured down, dark clouds pressing down on people's heads, as if they were very close. Lightning bolts struck wildly, and the thunder roared as if it were right in front of them, enough to scare the timid into paralysis!

In the rain, the young girl Xiaohua tightly held the hem of the chubby boy's clothes, running frantically in the rain!

"Huff, huff!" The boy, who looked like a little pig, ran with his body jiggling like a woman's chest, but miraculously, his speed was no slower than the slender girl behind him, truly astonishing!

'Plop!' He stepped into a puddle, and his chubby body rolled forward like a ball, almost dragging Xiaohua down into the muddy rainwater with him!

"Damn!" The chubby boy cursed in his heart. "I shouldn't have come out to practice today. We haven't even reached the training ground, and this heavy rain has already drenched us like drowned rats. The training is naturally ruined!" But when things go wrong, they go wrong. The chubby boy ran, leading his cousin Xiaohua, trying to find a place to take shelter, but he was about to fall into the mud. With the girl's scream, the chubby boy imagined himself and Xiaohua rolling into mud balls!

"Resign myself to fate!" The chubby boy closed his eyes, preparing for a deep kiss with the ground!

Eh? The chubby boy suddenly felt something odd. "Why am I suspended in the air? Xiaohua's scream also stopped. What's going on?"

He opened his small eyes, squeezed together by fat, and through the rain, he saw Yun Mo's half-smiling face!

At that moment, Yun Mo's hands were extended, catching both people who were about to hit the ground! The chubby boy, seeing the ground less than an inch away, felt lucky!

With a swoosh, Yun Mo's palm carried the two people, instantly moving them under the eaves of a courtyard, then placing them on the dry ground!

"Thank you, Brother Mo!" "Thank you, little brother!"

The chubby boy and Xiaohua thanked him simultaneously.

Xiaohua's face was red. When Yun Mo caught her, his hand had pressed on her small chest. Although it was brief, it was enough to make this young girl's heart race!

Yun Mo, seeing the girl, who was several years older than him, lower her head in embarrassment, naturally understood what was going on. Recalling the touching sensation of the girl's small chest, he was momentarily distracted by his lecherous thoughts!

Hearing their thanks, he snapped back to reality, scolding himself for becoming more shameless. Thinking of Pingping's large chest, Yingying and Xiaoya's alluring charms, they appeared in his mind!

"Damn!" Yun Mo cursed, trying to shake off the sensual thoughts and quickly regain his composure, thinking he was becoming more like Ye Lianhua and needed to be careful!

Seeing Yun Mo's strange expression, the chubby boy was puzzled, thinking, "Why does this new big brother look so strange, as if he's extremely lecherous! Yes, lecherous, damn, could he be a kindred spirit? I wonder if he would be interested in the few erotic pictures I've hidden. This could be a good opportunity to get closer to him!" The precocious chubby boy thought.

Xiaohua, however, misunderstood, thinking that the boy was imagining her chest, which made her even more embarrassed, lowering her head even further. She didn't know where to put her hands!

The atmosphere became extremely awkward.

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing their strange behavior, Yun Mo immediately understood that both of them were thinking unhealthy thoughts!

He scolded himself inwardly, then cleared his throat and said, "What are you thanking me for? It was just a small favor. If I did anything wrong in a hurry, don't take it to heart!"

The chubby boy was very confused. "What did I do wrong? I don't know!" Xiaohua understood, knowing what Yun Mo meant. She scolded herself for being petty, lifted her head, and her face returned to normal, but her eyes looked at Yun Mo a bit differently!

Yun Mo, with the soul of an adult, naturally understood that girls had thin skins, so he didn't say more. He turned to the chubby boy and said, "Li Tao, it's a good thing we met here! I actually have something to talk to you about today!"

The chubby Li Tao, hearing this, shook off the rain from his body and said boldly, "Whatever Brother Mo needs, I, Li Tao, will do anything for a friend, no questions asked!"

Well, this guy directly took the opportunity to become buddies with Yun Mo!

Xiaohua couldn't help but giggle at the chubby boy's exaggerated words, her face blooming like a spring flower, which made Yun Mo pause!

He forced himself to calm down, pulled the chubby boy aside, and whispered, "This is important. I hope you don't tell anyone else!" He glanced at Xiaohua as he spoke.

The chubby boy's eyes darted around, immediately understanding, and whispered back, "Got it, this is a man's business. Even my cousin Xiaohua won't know. Brother Mo, don't worry!"

"Good, you're a good friend, Li Tao. From now on, we're brothers. If there's anything in this estate that I can help with, I will!"

Li Tao's eyes narrowed in a smile. With Yun Mo's promise, who would dare to bully him among these half-grown boys? After all, in this environment that valued martial prowess, it was natural for a novice like Li Tao, who was only at the second level, to be bullied!

The city lord had a word: These young boys who practice from a young age are encouraged to challenge each other to promote their progress!

So even if their children were beaten, the adults wouldn't say much.

Of course, Cheng Dawei was an exception, as Yun Mo's actions were too extreme, almost killing him, so Cheng Fugui's anger was understandable!

Yun Mo knew this was a flaw in his character. Being too extreme was not good for himself, but he was just that kind of person. If Yingying was good to him, he would risk his life to protect her. If Cheng Dawei kicked him, he would repay him a hundredfold. It was hard to change one's nature. Yun Mo also realized he sometimes acted too emotionally, but when the time came, he would still do the same. This character trait would probably not change anytime soon!

The chubby boy was almost jubilant. His father was a small captain among the estate's guards, with some power, but among the boys, it was all about who was the strongest! "I've been bullied for years, but today, the clouds have finally cleared. My spring has come!"

He was extremely grateful to Yun Mo!

Seeing the right moment, Yun Mo took out the drawing from his pocket. The two of them, hiding from Xiaohua, opened the drawing. The little girl was so angry she gritted her teeth, cursing Yun Mo and Li Tao in her heart!

The more they kept it from her, the more she felt like her heart was being clawed. She thought, "Once Yun Mo leaves, I'll definitely ask my cousin what this secret is. If he dares not tell me, I'll pinch off a piece of his fat!" Thinking of this, she nodded confidently and smiled.

"This is...?" Li Tao looked at the portrait on the paper, instantly recalling someone. He thought, "Why does Yun Mo have this person's portrait?"

Seeing Li Tao's expression, Yun Mo knew he recognized the person. The stone in his heart fell, and he casually took out a flint, lit the paper, and burned it to ashes. Then, with a serious expression, he asked Li Tao, "Who is he?" His voice was low but filled with killing intent.

Li Tao shivered, feeling as if he was almost frozen. He was terrified! He thought, "Yun Mo, so young, has such a heavy killing intent, not even weaker than my father. This person definitely has a bright future. I've chosen the right side today!"

He decided to follow Yun Mo and be his little brother, enjoying a life of luxury. He leaned in and whispered everything he knew to Yun Mo. Yun Mo's eyebrows gradually furrowed, realizing the situation was complicated. He needed to prepare many contingencies; otherwise, not only would he fail to kill his enemy, but he might also lose his life!
