Chapter 368, Come Give Me a Warm Bear Hug

Translator: Silavin

 

“As long as the Second Prince becomes the Emperor, I can ensure your Family will become the number one Major Family in Twilight City! And you will replace the Carefree Prince to become our Grand Empire’s one and only War God!”  Li Zhengping took a deep breath and spoke in a slow voice, stressing each word.

 

When others heard these words, they drew in sharp breaths.

 

The Grand Empire’s top Family, and replacing the Carefree Prince’s position!

 

These two temptations were truly difficult to refuse!

 

Hearing this, the burly man’s brows furrowed deeply, which in everyone’s eyes seemed like he was weighing the pros and cons.

 

Could it be that the Grand Empire’s newly risen War God could actually be bought off so easily?

 

*Creak!* At this moment, the doors of Alchemy Central suddenly opened, and Qin Yichen’s figure slowly walked out. Behind him, the Second Prince was trembling, as a Spirit Sword was floating above his head.

 

Seeing Qin Yichen emerge, the crowd of onlookers fell silent again. This youth and the Second Prince behind him were the true targets of Li Zhengping’s scheme.

 

“You brainless brute, these conditions are so good even I want to surrender – why haven’t you accepted yet? Huh!?” Qin Yichen’s somewhat exaggerated voice rang out as soon as he exited.

 

“What is he doing?”

 

“Is he seeking death? He still dares to mock our War God!?”

 

Hearing Qin Yichen’s exaggerated words, bursts of low exclamations rose from the crowd of onlookers. Most people looked at Qin Yichen in complete bewilderment.

 

How could this youth who had stirred up Twilight City be so reckless? Could it be that he already knew his fate could not be changed and had given up resisting?

 

Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Li Yuanba could not help but turn around. When he saw Qin Yichen, disbelief surged in his eyes.

 

“You bastard!” Li Yuanba pointed a giant hammer at Qin Yichen, his tiger eyes wide open. Perhaps because he was too excited, his chest was violently heaving.

 

Seeing Li Yuanba’s actions, everyone’s hearts tightened, and they secretly sighed for Qin Yichen.

 

In their view, Li Yuanba was on the verge of erupting into rage.

 

Qin Yichen must have really angered the War God!

 

What was the point of suddenly making such a remark to the Grand Empire’s new War God?

 

Even if he did not accept Li Zhengping’s conditions, he would not easily let go of someone who mocked him.

 

“Kill him, and I’ll give you everything!” Li Zhengping’s eyes surged with dense killing intent as he whispered in Li Yuanba’s ear.

 

By now, a group of Iron-Blooded Cavalry had already made their way through the crowd to the front of Alchemy Central. Faced with Li Yuanba being tempted this way, they remained silent. There was not even a trace of anxiety in their eyes.

 

They had not known Li Yuanba for long, but they had extraordinary faith in him, not just because of the Carefree Prince’s orders, but because they had gone through life and death together. They firmly believed that such an upright and honourable man would never submit to power and status.

 

However, while the Iron-Blooded Cavalry thought this way, the onlookers did not share the same view.

 

On one side was the temptation of supreme power, and on the other, that kid called Qin Yichen even dared to openly mock him – who could endure that!?

 

In their view, regardless of whether this newly risen War God accepted the Li Family Patriarch’s conditions or not, Qin Yichen was sure to suffer.

 

Sure enough, under everyone’s gaze, Li Yuanba suddenly moved, charging directly toward Qin Yichen.

 

“This is bad!” Seeing this, Chairman Hai’s heart jumped in alarm. Although he understood Qin Yichen’s strength, that burly man was no ordinary person. According to the latest news, he had single-handedly held off the attack of a million-strong army for an entire day, and afterward still had the strength to send two Mid Stage Martial Kings flying with his power alone!

 

How could Qin Yichen possibly withstand someone like that!?

 

Whether considering the current situation or their relative strengths, Chairman Hai did not want them to fight.

 

However, that burly man had suddenly made his move, and his speed was extremely fast. By the time the thought had just flashed through Chairman Hai’s mind, he had already reached Qin Yichen’s side.

 

*Bang!* With a huge sound, Li Yuanba’s giant hammer was thrown to the ground. As everyone’s mouths twitched, the ground violently shook!

 

Then, under countless shocked gazes, Li Yuanba stretched out both arms and swung them toward Qin Yichen.

 

At this moment, Qin Yichen seemed to have become stupid, standing motionless in place. He even had a silly, pure, and naive smile on his face.

 

“Die!” Behind Qin Yichen, dense pleasure flashed through the Second Prince’s eyes. Sure enough, there was no one who could not be bought by power!

 

“Eh? Something seems off about Brother Yuanba.”

 

“Is that really the recently famous Qin Yichen? Why does he look so naive – does he think his small frame can withstand Brother Yuanba’s punch?”

 

While everyone else was shocked, the Iron-Blooded Cavalry were curious about why the killing intent around Li Yuanba did not seem that strong. However, even so, they did not believe that this little guy could withstand their idol, Li Yuanba, who had killed countless on the battlefield.

 

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at Li Yuanba’s movements.

 

Has this War God been won over? Could Qin Yichen, who had created multiple miracles, resist and create another miracle?

 

*Pat!* What happened next made everyone’s jaws drop.

 

Li Yuanba’s hands did not turn into iron fists striking Qin Yichen, but instead became a big bear hug, embracing the latter.

 

*Pfft!* Seeing this scene, Chairman Lin, who had been contentedly drinking wine in a corner of Alchemy Central, could not help but spray it all out, his face full of shock.

 

At this moment, everyone’s expressions became dumbfounded.

 

[What is going on? Could it be that their Grand Empire’s War God had such preferences?]

 

Strange colours flashes continuously in Li Zhengping’s eyes. For a moment, he could not understand what Li Yuanba was doing.

 

[Had he accepted my offer, or did he have some other goal in mind? If he had accepted it, why is he not directly eliminating Qin Yichen? Could it be that he wants to strangle him to death?]

 

As for Qin Yichen, who had been smiling, his expression suddenly froze the moment Li Yuanba embraced him.

 

He felt that his body, which he had thought was already extremely strong, seemed about to fall apart under this brute’s bear hug!

 

“Li Yuanba! You bastard, let me go!” Qin Yichen’s somewhat indignant voice rang out as his hands helplessly waved in the air.

 

Hearing this voice, the confusion in everyone’s hearts was finally resolved – so these two actually knew each other!

 

Li Zhengping’s face also turned deathly pale upon hearing Qin Yichen’s indignant voice.
