Douluo Dalu: Legend Of Xiao Yan

[A few hours ago...]

Within the commercial district road, a luxuriously dressed young man could be seen along with three average looking uniformed guards. The young man was only 20+ years old and was quite handsome. His face was slightly pale and his eyes were a rare amethyst color that had a sort of heat within as he surveyed of the nearby young ladies and women. The l.u.s.t is strong with this one.

"Hmm, so this is Suotuo City huh? I admit, although it's a bit small and the architecture of the buildings here cannot be compared to the greatness of spirit city but I must admit that the goods here are to my taste. I guess father relocating the Jia Lie Clan here wasn't really a bad idea." Jia Lie Ao said with a confident smirk on his face as he strolled down the road while his bodyguards remained silent and continued following him.

Jia Lie Ao and his entourage of bodyguards wandered all around the district, sightseeing numerous different stores and flirting around with the city girls for a few hours, until they came across a certain shop.

"Oh, 'Red Hot Dragon's Store'?" Jia Lie Ao said unimpressed while two girls, dangling from each of his arms who he flirted and swayed, widened their eyes, their faces turning pale and started shaking their heads slightly. While the bodyguards remained silent as ever behind him. "Well, well, judging by the name this must be a restaurant of some sort. Very well! I'm famished from all that walking around, I might as well eat here. What about you ladies?"

"I-I, uh, I think my mom just called and wanted me home. Sorry young master but I have to go."

"Me as well my Lord, I see my parents calling out to me. Bye!"

Just as they were about to escape, Jia Lie Ao tightened his hold upon the two girls. As a Spirit Elder Spirit Rank 32, he's strength was beyond any normal person, much less two normal girls. He stared at them with a cold face, saying.

"Oh nonsense. I don't hear anyone calling out for you two. Judging from you're expressions, this store isn't a restaurant huh? Since I'm new here, how about you tell me why are you both so scared while we enter–"

"Oh hell no! I ain't going to that store with you asshole!" One of the girls said with a scared and angry face.

"Piss off limp d.i.c.k! You're not worth enough for us to mess with the owner of that store!" The other girl said with same expressions as the former.

Jia Lie Ao is a person known in the Spirit City who is ruthless, arrogant and mostly thinks with his d.i.c.k. He is a spoiled young master, an elitist and s.e.xiest basically. So when the two girls interrupted him with insults, well, his red contorted face said it all.

"Y-You bitches-!"

"Oh screw off already!" Girl A interrupted him with a pissed off look. "We ain't stupid enough to go and cause trouble for the Bù gé màn."

"The boogeyman?" Jia Lie Ao narrowed his eyes and scoff at such childish name, while holding back the urge to slap the two bitches to death as he was curious on why such a person was so feared.

"Oh he's not the boogeyman, that's a misinterpretation, he's the one who kills and eats the boogieman." Girl B said.

"Yeah, especially since what I've seen him do before." Girl A nodded with a fearful expression.

"I've seen him kill three guys that were two Spirit Grandmasters and one Spirit Elder in a bar." Jia Lie Ao scoff, as someone who was a elite Spirit Elder; killing three people; two Spirit Grandmaster and one Spirit Elder, is as easy as killing chickens. He was about to write off this 'boogieman' as some average Spirit Ancestor or even a Spirit Elder that had some strength until he heard what Girl B said next.

"With a pencil. He didn't use any spirit power and there was no spirit rings surrounding his body, meaning he didn't use his spirit. With just a simple small wooden pencil, he killed them all within just under a single breath of time."

Jia Lie Ao, as well as his bodyguards, widened their eyes in shock and disbelief. Didn't use his spirit and spirit power? With just a pencil, the probable normal person was able to kill two Spirit Grandmasters and a Spirit Elder?!

"Terrifying..." Jia Lie Ao muttered with a frowned expression as he stared at the building in front of him.

Should he tell his father of this sudden discover? A normal person with the capability of killing three spirit masters, shall he recruit this person into the clan?

"That's just the least of you're concerns." Girl A wrapped her arms around herself, her figure trembling, an expression of fear on her face clear. "He was the person who had singlehandedly humiliated all four clans here, especially the Ao Ba Clan. That person had been so cruel and cold to those members of that clan, so much so, that those who were tortured... humiliated by him were so afraid to even set foot out of their rooms!"

Jia Lie Ao, along with his three bodyguards, froze in place. Their eyes widened and expressions of shock appeared on their faces.

'We found him!' They simultaneously all thought.

The Jia Lie Clan was sent to this city due to two reasons. One, someone of high standing from Spirit Hall wanted watch on the city due to some peculiar rumours they've been hearing that clearly needed their attention. Secondly, the clan wanted to swallow the Ao Ba Clan into their own fold under the pretence of helping them. Especially not after hearing they've been humiliated by a single person! Jia Lie Ao sneered and thought of them lowly at the thought that the Ao Ba Clan had been stupid enough to offend someone powerful.

But... Hearing that just a normal person had been the one to do it, Jia Lie Ao was considering to tell his father that they should just kill the Ao Ba Clan members for their uselessness! They couldn't even kill a normal person! Jia Lie Ao could understand that the mysterious 'boogieman' was able to kill those three man, probably due to some luck or high level skill, but to humiliate an entire clan that had a Spirit Emperor? That's just bullshit!

While Jia Lie Ao and the bodyguards' minds were preoccupied, the two girls quietly sneaked away.

Moments later, the guards and Jia Lie Ao snapped back to reality with their faces turning into anger.

"Young master, how should we deal with such a person? Report to the master? Or shall we do it, personally?" One of the guards asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" Jia Lie Ao snorted in irritation, looking at the idiot who asked, three optimal spirit rings; two yellow and one purple spirit rings appeared underneath and surrounded him. "This, 'boogeyman', is the person responsible for humiliating our allies. We must enact justice for them! As for him singlehandedly took on the clan, bah, that must have been a exasperated rumor created by this person's accomplices who really took on the Ao Ba Clan."

"But, if this person's accomplices are powerful enough take on a Spirit Emperor, what hope could we, three Spirit Ancestors and one Spirit Elder, to take them on young master? Also, isn't this person's skill unpredictable and great?" The second guard asked in doubt the other two nodding in agreement.

"Hmph, you idiots, everyone has they're own things to do. Do you think probable Spirit Kings or Spirit Emperor would give their own damn time with a measly mortal? No!" Jia Lie Ao massaged his fists, a cruel and bloodthirsty grin appeared on his face as he stood staring at the store. "As for this person's mysterious skills, we'll just overwhelmed him with our numbers and immediate use of our spirit skills. No matter how proficient he is in his mysterious ways, he is still a normal person."

"As for my father... if anything goes wrong we'll just use that flare we got from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan to get reinforcements."

The guards looked on in awe and realization at the genius of their young master. They once more swore within their hearts to follow him till they die protecting him.

"Young master, you are wise!"

"As expected of young master, you are truly a genius!"

"I shall continue follow by your side young master!"

The three bodyguards bowed in reverence towards Jia Lie Ao, who was looking smug with his head held up high as his ego from his bodyguards praises went to his head.

"Good, good, now, let's go get this bastard!"

"Ohh!"

...

A shiver went down Xiao Yan's spine as he sat on his chair behind the cashier desk.

"Oh no, not again..." Xiao Yan muttered irritation.

Zi Yan's shift was over a while ago and the shop was supposed to be closed for the day; he operated from six in the morning till six at night, but he decided he wanted to manned the shop for a hour or two till he called it quits as he had nothing to do.

But now he was having second thoughts, as he suddenly felt a bad feeling of troubles coming his way soon.

On a side note though, why does he suddenly have an urge to adopt a dog?
