Top-tier Unruly Master

The Tattooed Man didn't take Ding Fan's warning seriously at all. In his eyes, Ding Fan was just a pretty boy with probably no real ability. His stepping forward was merely to show off his heroic side to the two beauties.

"Babes, just wait for me, and once I've taught this dumbass a lesson, we'll find somewhere fun to hang out," the Tattooed Man said lecherously to Hu Jin and Lin Yanxi.

Ding Fan said indifferently, "You still have a chance to scram..."

"Idiot, this is my cousin's territory. Do you really think you have the right to act tough here? Fuck!" After saying that, the Tattooed Man suddenly swung his hand, aiming a slap at Ding Fan.

The Tattooed Man made his move very suddenly, causing Lin Yanxi to panic for a moment, her heart leaping to her throat. Hu Jin also looked on at Ding Fan with great worry.

However, what happened next stunned both Lin Yanxi and Hu Jin.

Ding Fan abruptly raised his right leg and delivered a straight kick. The Tattooed Man didn't even lay a finger on Ding Fan and was kicked to the ground.

"Fuck, ****. You dare hit me? Guys, stab him for me!" the Tattooed Man said furiously.

At this moment, the Tattooed Man had two lackeys behind him, and the two girls he was trying to impress were also watching. If he were to be kicked down by Ding Fan like this, he would really lose all his standing.

The Tattooed Man's two lackeys didn't waste any words, each reaching into their pockets and pulling out metal switchblades.

"Ah..." Seeing that the two men had pulled out knives, Hu Jin couldn't help but scream.

After all, Hu Jin was just an ordinary girl. She had never encountered such a situation before. How could she not be frightened?

Although Lin Yanxi didn't scream, her body was trembling slightly. The men had pulled knives, and she watched Ding Fan with great concern...

As for the pair brandishing knives, Ding Fan simply didn't care. In the Cultivation World, he had faced countless life-and-death struggles—true battles with real swords and spears. Now, mere daggers couldn't intimidate Ding Fan.

"Kid, if you don't want a hole stabbed in you, kneel and kowtow now, then I might let you go..." the Tattooed Man yelled mockingly.

Ding Fan scoffed.

In his previous life, when he had found a high-grade Spirit Grass, powerful cultivators had cornered him. If Ding Fan had been willing to kneel and kowtow then, he would not have died.

If Ding Fan hadn't in his previous life, then naturally, he wouldn't in this one either.

"Come at me together," Ding Fan beckoned to the two thugs.

Ding Fan had seen clearly the situation today. If he didn't deal with these two like roaches, they would keep bothering him. So it was better to simply take care of them once and for all.

"Fuck, you're still acting tough even now! Kill him for me. I'll take the blame if something goes wrong," the Tattooed Man originally thought that brandishing a knife would scare the opponent, but who knew that not only did Ding Fan not care, he even invited his two lackeys to join the fight together.

This guy was really acting big!

The Tattooed Man's two underlings, each gripping a dagger, charged directly at Ding Fan.

From their expressions, Ding Fan could tell that these men were really going all out. Since they were so determined, Ding Fan naturally would not go easy on them.

Crack, crack...

The two thugs had just reached Ding Fan when he punched each of them in the nose, a spot where human bodies are most vulnerable. How could it possibly withstand Ding Fan's punches?

In no time, both of their nasal bones were crushed. After having their noses burst, blood flowed all over their faces, making a ghastly sight.

Thump, thump...

After Ding Fan had smashed their noses, the two thugs flipped over on the ground, twitching in pain. How could they, mere ordinary ruffians, provoke Ding Fan?

Just then, the Tattooed Man who had just gotten up from the ground was utterly dumbfounded.

Usually, it was he who bullied others; when had anyone ever bullied him? But today, Ding Fan had overturned his two lackeys with just two punches. This fighting strength was simply astonishing!

"Kid, you just wait, our matter isn't over yet," the Tattooed Man said before not even bothering with his two lackeys and making a beeline for the exit.

Ding Fan didn't care about the vicious threats the Tattooed Man made as he left. If the other party didn't come after him, it would be their good fortune. But if they foolishly came after him again, then Ding Fan would indeed have to leave a few of their "parts" behind.

Ding Fan conducted himself cleanly and efficiently, dealing with the two thugs in less than twenty seconds. For a moment, the two beauties looked at each other.

They really hadn't expected Ding Fan to fight so well!

"Brother Fan, we've fought people here; I think we should go somewhere else to hang out," Lin Yanxi pondered for a moment, walking over to Ding Fan and speaking with some concern.

"It's fine, just a few bugs; they won't stir up any commotion," Ding Fan assured Lin Yanxi.

Ding Fan's trip to West Mountain Heavenly Pond wasn't just to hang out with Lin Yanxi and company; it was to locate the Azure Flame Beast. Now that he had come to the foot of West Mountain, there was no reason to leave at this point.

Seeing Ding Fan so determined, Lin Yanxi didn't insist on leaving anymore, nodding slightly beside him.

At this moment, Ding Fan and Lin Yanxi's little interaction did not escape Hu Jin's eyes. Hu Jin's eyebrows furrowed slightly. She and Lin Yanxi were good friends in college, so she knew Lin Yanxi quite well.

In college, Lin Yanxi was recognized as the campus beauty and she usually treated boys with indifference, plus she was from a wealthy family, which gave her somewhat of a haughty air.

Over the years, even when Lin Yanxi dated Huang Jian, Hu Jin had never seen Lin Yanxi actively seeking a boy's opinion. But now, not only had Lin Yanxi sought Ding Fan's opinion, but also, after hearing Ding Fan's suggestion, she decided to stay.

How many people could influence the beautiful Yan Xi's decisions?!

This Ding Fan…

Since Lin Yanxi decided to stay, Hu Jin went along with it, but she didn't really have anything to say about it.

At this point, Ding Fan and the others didn't bother with the two thugs who were beaten up badly; the three of them continued towards the center of the resort.

It just so happened to be the fishing festival at the West Mountain Resort.

In the very center of the resort was a large pond formed by streams flowing down from West Mountain. The pond was quite large, probably the size of several basketball courts.

On the pond, there was a big boat, but this boat was not for tourist sightseeing—it was a fishing boat.

At this time, the fishing boat was returning. At the harbor, quite a few tourists were waiting there. Ding Fan and the others found out that the fish in this pond were cold-water fish, known for their tender flesh. If it weren't for the fishing festival, it would be difficult to enjoy them.

Hu Jin was quite interested, and she and Lin Yanxi joined the crowd in waiting.

After waiting for the fishing boat to dock, the two girls selected a large fish. After paying, the fish was tagged and taken to the kitchen.

Then, Ding Fan and the two ladies went to the resort's dining restaurant.

Apart from that fish, the trio also ordered some of the local specialties.

They didn't wait long before the fish was cooked and brought over.

The fish was indeed delicious—tender yet chewy, and because it had been deep-fried, it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, adding an extra flavor.

Besides the fish, the resort also provided some fish soup. The soup was light but had a delicious and fresh aroma that filled the mouth...

By this time, Hu Jin and Lin Yanxi had forgotten the unpleasant incident outside the resort and were cheekily eating the fish, taking turns bit by bit.

The fish was indeed delicious, and even Ding Fan ate a few more bites.

However, just then, a strong presence suddenly appeared nearby.

Ding Fan continued to eat his fish as if nothing had happened, but his eyes flicked towards the direction from which the presence came.

At that moment, two middle-aged men entered from outside.

After scanning the room, they started paying attention to Ding Fan and his companions.

Ding Fan scanned them with his Divine Sense, and realized that these two men were not ordinary; their cultivation was at least at Human Level Sixth or Seventh Grade.

Human Level Fifth Grade was already rare to see, but now, suddenly, there were two more individuals of a Sixth or Seventh Grade. For a moment, Ding Fan guessed the intentions of these two men.

Nevertheless, to avoid startling anyone, Ding Fan did not alert these two men.

Since the fish was extremely delicious, Lin Yanxi and Hu Jin were nearly lying flat on their chairs, having filled themselves up.

"I think we should find a room to rest for a bit today," Ding Fan said.

Before understanding the intentions of those two men, Ding Fan felt it best to be cautious, although he was confident of his ability to handle those two Martial Artists if it came to a fight.

But who knew if they had other hidden traps?

It was still early, but Ding Fan suggested finding a room to rest, which puzzled Hu Jin.

"That sounds good, I'm quite tired too…" Lin Yanxi said from the side.

Hu Jin furrowed her brows slightly, but in the end, she didn't say anything. Ding Fan then led the two ladies to the resort's inn.

"We need a room…" Ding Fan approached the front desk of the inn, this time not waiting for Lin Yanxi or Hu Jin to speak, he directly asked.

A room?!

Hu Jin frowned.

Two women and one man taking one room? What exactly was Ding Fan planning?!
