He Ate a Divine Dragon

The moment the call connected, Chu Xiangxue's face turned visibly panicked.

Although the Chu Family was the most prestigious family in the capital, it didn't mean they could steamroll every other family there.

Some families might not be as influential as the Chu Family overall, but certain individuals from those families were terrifyingly powerful.

Take Huang Xingcheng of the Huang Family, for instance. The Huang Family's overall strength was definitely no match for the Chu Family's, but Huang Xingcheng was an exception.

He was truly outstanding.

He was taken in as a godson by the King of the Northern Town at a very young age. Furthermore, the patriarch of the Huang Family was a disciple of the Immortal Doctor Sect. This was why the Huang Family had managed to rise from a second-tier to a first-tier family in the capital.

Not to mention the current rumors that Huang Xingcheng had established a connection with the Dragon Lord.

So, the moment the call connected, Chu Xiangxue began to panic. She knew perfectly well that if Huang Xingcheng actually showed up, Lin Xiao would be in for a disaster.

Although Lin Xiao was a disciple of the Sect Master of Immortal Medicine, Huang Xingcheng wasn't just the godson of the King of the Northern Town—he also had ties to the Dragon Lord.

In the face of the Dragon Lord, even the Immortal Doctor Sect would likely be powerless.

Chu Xiangxue wanted to stop it, but it was already too late.

"Xingdong, why are you calling me?" Huang Xingcheng's voice came from the other end of the line.

Perfect, Cheng Shaoshang thought, his heart filling with elation. He knew that wretched beggar was about to meet his doom.

Although he had long wanted to deal with Lin Xiao, there were certain matters Cheng Shaoshang couldn't handle personally. That was why he had deliberately brought along Huang Xingcheng's younger brother, Huang Xingdong. He planned to use him to take care of Lin Xiao and ensure he never dared to set foot in the capital again.

"Bro, I got beat up! I'm in a private room on the third floor of Blood Night. Get here quick!" Huang Xingdong cried with a pained expression.

"Who hit you?" Huang Xingcheng asked coldly.

Huang Xingdong was his biological brother, born of the same parents. Naturally, Huang Xingcheng was furious that his younger brother had been beaten.

"Just some trash! Hurry over here!" Huang Xingdong said, sounding even more aggrieved.

"Alright, I got it. I'll be there in five minutes!"

With that, Huang Xingcheng hung up.

A moment ago, Huang Xingdong had been nursing his grievances, but now his expression changed completely. He looked down at Lin Xiao with an air of superiority, as if his doom was already sealed.

Cheng Shaoshang was also thrilled.

The Cheng and Huang Families were both first-tier families in the capital. However, despite moving in the same circles, Cheng Shaoshang and Huang Xingcheng didn't really know each other. Or rather, they weren't familiar. At most, they would just nod when their paths crossed.

To be honest, Cheng Shaoshang had always wanted to get acquainted with Huang Xingcheng, ideally even becoming like brothers. After all, among the capital's younger generation, Huang Xingcheng was not only highly renowned but also exceptionally skilled. He was considered second only to the likes of Yang Shaohua, Guo Dingtian, and Dong Bolian.

It was just a pity that Cheng Shaoshang never had a proper opportunity to get to know him.

Now, that opportunity had finally arrived. When Huang Xingcheng gets here, I have to make a good impression, Cheng Shaoshang silently vowed.

"Huang Xingdong, you're my friend, and Lin Xiao is my friend too," Chu Xiangxue said with a smile, trying to defuse the situation. "How about this? Do me a favor. Let Lin Xiao offer you a toast, and we'll just let this matter drop, okay?"

Clearly, she was trying to resolve the conflict between them.

But Huang Xingdong showed her no respect at all, saying dismissively, "Xiang Xue, you can befriend whoever you want. That's your business, and I have no right to interfere. But that doesn't mean any piece of trash can be a friend of mine, Huang Xingdong."

Chu Xiangxue was sharply rebuffed, and her heart sank. She was about to try persuading him again.

Just then, Cheng Shaoshang interjected, "Xiang Xue, you can't really blame Xingdong for this. The fault lies with your friend for being so arrogant. Who just goes around hitting people over a simple disagreement? Huang Xingdong might have said a few unpleasant things, but Lin Xiao's words were just as bad. And on top of that, he's the one who got violent!"

Lin Xiao laughed. I never realized this guy was so two-faced.

Frustrated, Chu Xiangxue didn't know what to do. Her gaze finally fell on Lin Xiao.

"Lin Xiao, come with me for a moment!"

"What's up?" Lin Xiao asked.

Chu Xiangxue nodded.

"Alright then!"

Lin Xiao followed Chu Xiangxue to the side.

"What's the matter?"

"Why don't you call your master? I'm afraid this isn't going to end well today. You've met Huang Xingcheng. He has a terrible temper, and now that his own brother has been beaten, he's definitely going to demand justice from you!"

Lin Xiao smiled. "Is that all?"

"Yes, Lin Xiao, this is no small matter! If it were anyone else, it would be one thing, but that's Huang Xingcheng—the godson of the King of the Northern Town, who now has ties to the Dragon Lord! Fortunately, his grandfather is a member of the Immortal Doctor Sect. Since your master is the Sect Master of Immortal Medicine, if he steps in to mediate, there might be a chance to resolve this peacefully!"

Lin Xiao knew she was worried about him, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry. Forget Huang Xingcheng. Even if the King of the Northern Town himself showed up, or that so-called Dragon Lord, they'd all have to kneel before me!"

Chu Xiangxue was speechless. She admired Lin Xiao's fearless personality, but she was also keenly aware that such a trait could easily lead to trouble.

Honestly, Chu Xiangxue was starting to regret bringing Lin Xiao to the bar. She had only wanted to introduce him to a few friends, but she never expected things to escalate like this.

"Forget it. I'll call Guo Dingtian. If he's willing to mediate, things might still turn around. After all, Guo Dingtian is a ranked expert on the Dragon Emperor's List—an existence even more formidable than Huang Xingcheng!"

Lin Xiao just smiled and said, "Really, there's no need. It's just Huang Xingcheng. I honestly don't give him a second thought."

Chu Xiangxue grew even more frustrated. She didn't know if Lin Xiao truly wasn't concerned or was just pretending not to care.

While she was still trying to figure out what to do, she suddenly heard Huang Xingdong shout excitedly, "Bro, over here!"

Chu Xiangxue's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't expected Huang Xingcheng to arrive so quickly.

She whipped her head around and saw Huang Xingcheng storming toward Huang Xingdong, radiating killing intent.

"What the hell happened?" Huang Xingcheng demanded.

Before Huang Xingdong could speak, Cheng Shaoshang quickly spoke up. "Xingcheng, this is my fault. We were just planning to have a drink with Xiang Xue, but her friend here was unbelievably arrogant. Xingdong didn't say much, but the guy started acting all high and mighty. Xingdong got annoyed and cussed him out a couple of times, and next thing you know, he just attacked him!"

"Where is that piece of trash?" Huang Xingcheng asked coldly.

Damn it! How dare someone hit my brother? Huang Xingcheng could never let such an insult slide. He knew that every member of the Huang Family represented the family's honor when they were out in public. Today, his brother had been beaten. As far as Huang Xingcheng was concerned, the other party hadn't just struck his brother—they had struck the face of the entire Huang Family. He would absolutely not tolerate it.

Hearing his brother's words, Huang Xingdong pointed directly at Lin Xiao, who was standing nearby with Chu Xiangxue.

"Bro, it's that piece of trash! You have to get revenge for me!"

Huang Xingcheng nodded. "Don't worry. Anyone who dares to touch one of us from the Huang Family will pay for it in blood!"

As he spoke, Huang Xingcheng's expression darkened as he glared toward the person who had attacked his brother.
