CHAPTER 617: CHAPTER 0535: THE WAY YOU LOOK AT HER ANNOYS ME

Yet he stood there, solidly taking the slap.

Even if it were the First Venerate with the Power of God Slaying, they couldn’t move him an inch due to his physique. Of course, he didn’t feel any pain, but this slap landed right on his heart.

Ouyang Liluo regretted her action the moment after she struck. With worry and a hint of self-reproach, she asked as she looked at Ye Qingfeng’s face, "Are you okay? I..."

Ye Qingfeng gently shook his head. He understood Ouyang Liluo’s reaction very well. If it were him treated this way by a loved one, he might have reacted even more extremely.

A gentle and quiet girl like Ouyang Liluo reacting this way showed how deep her resentment was toward him. The deeper the grudge, the deeper the love.

Just as he was about to speak, a group of people rushed out from the private room where the drunken youth had crashed into, at least a dozen of them.

"Was it you?"

They supported the youth, who was foaming at the mouth from being kicked by Ye Qingfeng, and asked in a cold voice.

"That’s right, it was me!"

Ye Qingfeng turned his head, his expression cold and calm.

"Kid, you dare lay hands on the Black Tiger Association members, you’ve got guts. You beat him like this, how do you think we should deal with you?"

The leading man, impeccably dressed and seemingly cultured, spoke with extreme arrogance, carrying a rogue air about him.

The young man in formal attire quickly retreated to the side, fearing any association with Ye Qingfeng.

Among these people, there wasn’t a single person he could afford to provoke.

Ouyang Liluo’s beautiful eyes were filled with worry. The opposing group outnumbered Ye Qingfeng, and she feared Ye Qingfeng would suffer because of her.

She was just about to call for help when Ye Qingfeng suddenly spoke.

"Black Tiger Association?"

"The fact that I only beat him like this already shows I’ve been lenient!"

"He should be grateful he didn’t do anything outrageous, otherwise it wouldn’t be just foaming at the mouth!"

Ye Qingfeng’s eyes were slightly cold, his voice deep.

"I would have killed him!"

The declaration "I would have killed him" exploded among the crowd. Standing there alone, Ye Qingfeng faced the group, yet he held the upper hand in terms of momentum.

Ouyang Liluo’s beautiful eyes widened. The Ye Qingfeng before her was very different from the Ye Qingfeng she knew two and a half years ago.

Back then, although Ye Qingfeng had unparalleled stubbornness and determination, he lacked this self-confidence and audacity. The present Ye Qingfeng was like a sharp Divine Sword out of its sheath, awe-inspiring in all directions, commanding a dominating presence.

"Kill?"

The leading man in a white suit thought he had misheard. The Black Tiger Association had been established in Yanjing for five years, and no one had ever dared to speak so brazenly in front of their members.

Ye Qingfeng not only beat a member of the Black Tiger Association but also threatened to kill. Such a scenario was unheard of.

"This guy is simply crazy!"

The young man in formal attire laughed coldly to himself, casting a pitying glance at Ye Qingfeng.

He knew all too well how terrifying the Black Tiger Association was. It was ranked as the number one force in Yanjing’s upper circles.

Its members almost all had powerful connections and were not lacking in young masters from prestigious families, especially with someone extremely formidable standing behind the Black Tiger Association.

Ye Qingfeng incurring the wrath of the Black Tiger Association and acting so arrogantly seemed, to him, nothing short of courting death.

Witnessing Ye Qingfeng’s appearance disrupting Ouyang Liluo’s emotions, he felt overwhelming jealousy, and now seeing Ye Qingfeng blocked by the Black Tiger Association, he was gleeful.

Standing up for a beauty without power means paying a hefty price!

"It seems you really have no idea what the Black Tiger Association is. Since that’s the case, today I’ll show you!"

The man in the white suit waved his hand, and a few bodyguard-like individuals sneered, striding towards Ye Qingfeng.

"What are you trying to do?"

At that moment, Ouyang Liluo stepped forward, spreading her arms to shield Ye Qingfeng, her eyes filled with defiance and protection.

Ye Qingfeng’s gaze sharpened, emotions surging within his heart.

With nothing but a finger, he could crush whatever this Black Tiger Association was.

"Hm?"

Ouyang Liluo had been obscured behind Ye Qingfeng, and no one had seen her unparalleled beauty until now when she stepped forward to defend Ye Qingfeng, astonishing everyone, even halting the approaching bodyguards.

Ouyang Liluo’s beauty was beyond words, a one-in-a-million kind of beauty.

"Such a beautiful girl, throughout Yanjing, perhaps only the first beauty Han Qingqiu could compare with her!"

The man in a white suit was deeply impressed, and then, intense desire surged forward.

Han Qingqiu was the Yanjing Goddess, with an extremely high status and vast background, only someone at the level of their Black Tiger Association’s founder could stand a chance of conversing with her, something he dared not even dream of.

But this immortal-like beauty before him was not among Yanjing’s elite. If she could become his woman, wouldn’t that be more blissful than being an immortal?

Just as lust appeared in his eyes, a silhouette appeared like the wind, gripping his throat and lifting him up.

The people in front of the man in the white suit hadn’t even reacted.

Ouyang Liluo was astonished. She had never imagined Ye Qingfeng to be so strong, taking action directly, and she didn’t even know how Ye Qingfeng passed by her side.

"Help me!"

The man in the white suit felt like he was clamped by iron, unable to move, and could only plead to those nearby.

Seeing this, the bodyguards all rushed forward, causing Ouyang Liluo to cover her eyes in fright.

"Bang!"

With a few dull thuds, cries of pain rang out.

Ouyang Liluo opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment.

All those mighty bodyguards and the associates of the man in the white suit lay on the ground, writhing in pain, with only Ye Qingfeng still standing, gripping the man’s nose, holding him aloft.

"The way you looked at her really upset me!"

"Those eyes, I’ll take them!"

His gaze was indifferent, and as soon as his words fell, his hand swung.

The man in the white suit flew like a small stone, hurling heavily into the door handle.

"Ah! My eyes, my eyes!"

The miserable screams echoed, his face covered in blood, clutching his eyes, struggling and kicking in agony.

Ye Qingfeng had precisely engineered the blow to ensure his eyes hit the door handle first, effectively destroying both pupils in an instant.

"I certainly experienced what the Black Tiger Association is all about. Turns out it’s just a gathering of trash!"

Ye Qingfeng spoke proudly and softly, turning to walk towards Ouyang Liluo.

In his eyes, the coldness instantly transformed into a gentle spring.

"Ouyang, from today on, it’s my duty to protect you. Come what may, I will never let anyone harm you!"

Ouyang Liluo’s heart surged, deeply moved.

She felt a bit of panic, never having seen this side of Ye Qingfeng, ruthless and decisive in actions.

"What on earth has he been through all these years?"

She wanted to inquire about Ye Qingfeng’s circumstances, but as the words reached her lips, she swallowed them back down.
