Chapter 307: No Shame!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chun Wanfeng and Xia Bingchuan had mysteriously popped out of thin air upon hearing Yun Yang's words. Four pairs of eyes bored holes into the Luminary Paste in Yun Yang’s hands which sparkled with a green glow.
"These were found among Mi Kongqun’s belongings. I have some connections in the palace; it belongs to a dead person anyway, better use it than to let it go to waste." Yun Yang shrugged nonchalantly.
Not that Dong Tianleng and group could process his explanation though; who cared how or where the things came from? As long as it was bona fide and could be held in their hands, was the explanation really important?
The young masters were already anxiously twitching, very eager to get their hands on the paste.
This was the legendary item of their dreams, a treasure that could allow a man to stay tall and proud! It was a Holy Grail among all other possessions…
"Mine!" Qiu Yunsan screeched and began to charge over but he fell over almost immediately. At the same time he had bolted, Dong Tianleng, Chun Wanfeng, and Xia Bingchuan had stuck out their legs simultaneously. All three popinjays had unleashed the highest level of their individual martial skills! Their kicks were like shadows without a trace, marvelously swift.
Just as Qiu Yunsan announced his will, three kicks landed on him at once, flinging him away like a dumpling. Upon landing on his buttocks, he squawked in pain.
"Boss, mine." It was Chun Wanfeng.
"Boss, me," said Xia Bingchuan.
"Boss, give me one. Don’t give it to Qiu Yunsan. It's going to be a waste for him to eat it…" Dong Tianleng weighed in as well.
"Boss…" Qiu Yunsan collected himself and dashed back at lightning speed. "Don’t listen to Dong Tianleng. This bastard doesn’t know anything other than ruining unity. Nothing he says can be trusted!"
Yun Yang shook his head in amusement. "What are you fellows arguing over? I have four here, isn’t it just right for each to have one?"
Four of them lifted their heads in unison and looked at Yun Yang in shock. "Boss, don’t you want one for yourself?"
Yun Yang was utterly amused. It seemed that this was the goal of the four fellows’ contest. There were five people but four Luminary Pastes; one of them would definitely not have it. Yun Yang’s portion was out of bounds because if he had not taken them out, no one would have it. Therefore, one of the four young masters would have gone empty-handed.
The four of them were already calculating in their mind – since there must be someone who can’t get it, that person will surely not be me!
It was lucky that these four were quite bonded after so many years of knowing each other in addition to being at Yun Yang’s home; otherwise, with their temper, they might have caused quite a commotion.
"Never mind me." Yun Yang smiled. "I don’t have such a need for now. You few are lacking so much, it’s more urgent for you all!"
"Thank you, boss!"
"Thank you for boss’ rebirthing mercy!"
Four of them exclaimed words of gratitude in unison; each one was beaming triumphantly. They were not at all bothered by Yun Yang’s words about their shortcomings.
So what if we’re lacking? There’s a poem that says, "If you don’t lack in your youth, who can you find as time passes? Beauty like flowers lasts for only a few years, tears of regret streams upon waiting like silver strands!"
Besides, what harm is there to be scolded or mocked? As long as this paste reaches my hand, I won't mind listening to any amount of admonishment.
I will be legendary, standing tall and proud! – The highest level of being a man!
It looks like the new page of legend that spreads in the world of escorts will have to be written by the few of us!
Holding their coveted Luminary Paste, the four brothers who had their dreams come true were beaming so widely that their eyes had disappeared into crescents.
To the four popinjays, the level advancement of the mystical beast offspring bugging them earlier was far less important than this!
Qiu Yunsan took deep breaths, again and again… He tried his best to suppress his surging emotions, doing his best to be collected, calm, and insightful. He then checked the Luminary Paste before swallowing it in one gulp, not even drinking any water to aid his consumption.
He did it in one swift motion but it seemed that he had difficulty downing it. The Luminary Paste was a paste after all; there was some weight to it, so it was difficult to swallow it smoothly.
Great Young Master Qiu stretched his neck to try swallowing the paste down. His handsome face turned purple from his restricted airway.
"Drink some water quickly, it’ll be fine afterward." An expert of the Qiu Family quickly handed a bowl of water over.
"N – no, no…" Qiu Yunsan waved his hand dismissively and said with much difficulty, "Don’t… d – don’t… dilute the efficacy."
The crowd fell silent in shock.
Qiu Yunsan was willing to give his all for this legendary efficacy of the paste. Did he not know that one could die from being choked?
The other three families were exclaiming in relief – thank God my family’s young master is not as embarrassing as Qiu Yunsan.
When they turned around to look at their respective charges, their faces fell immediately.
Chun Wanfeng, Dong Tianleng, and Xia Bingchuan were also stretching their necks with eyes rolling to their backs, trying hard to swallow. The image was exactly the same compared to Qiu Yunsan, worse, even. After all, Qiu Yunsan’s looks triumphed over the rest; in this aspect, he was actually a clear winner.
The power of good looks could extend its superiority anytime and anywhere; there was no exception even at such a moment!
The guards from their families went over hastily to slap the three great young masters’ backs to help them. After all, there was a slim possibility that they might really die from suffocation.
Yun Yang was no longer just having goosebumps on his neck now; his goosebumps had spread all over his body.
"I must say… is this thing really so important? Whatever said, you four are the direct descendants of status and repute. Is it really good to have no shame for this small bonus of the lower half of the body?"
Yun Yang could not understand the current situation while Dong Tianleng and gang were rolling their eyes from almost being choked, but they chuckled weakly while looking at Yun Yang.
Their chuckles were condescending like an informed and knowledgeable city person looking down at an old-fashioned bumpkin who came from the most outdated village – no experience, no common knowledge and senseless… how contemptible!
The four of them had an increasing sense of superiority at the same time. After all, since they met Yun Yang, they had entirely been under his wing. Now that they could be at a higher position than Yun Yang – the four of them together too - how could they not be delighted and vigorous? It was already a difficult exercise to refrain from boasting and behaving arrogantly!
Dong Tianleng finally caught his breath and said grinning, "Boss, you won’t know some things not having experienced it. Right, you haven’t experienced it, have you? Of course, a virgin would not get it. Let me explain it to you..."
He frowned and racked his brain for a while before finally managing to find a more fitting analogy. "However much women place importance on their appearances, it is as much as men find this important… Do you get it?"
Yun Yang looked stupefied. "No, I don't."
Dong Tianleng and gang chuckled meaningfully. "Boss, you’re still young. You’ll get it in the future…"
Yun Yang felt a sense of wrongness all over.
F*cking hell, the few of you are asking for a good wallop, aren't you? How dare you speak to your father with such a condescending tone? Are you patronizing your father? Your father can turn your mystical beasts into food at any time!
Yun Yang’s gaze was hostile now.
It was not that he did not fully know the meaning of the four fellows' words. Even if he had never seen pigs run or had never seen a pig being slaughtered, he would have read all of it in books. What made Yun Yang really huffy was that he truly was a virgin. He really did not have the experience of a man like the four did, so he had no rebuttal in place.
In this aspect, he was really less than the four popinjays!
The popinjay of Yutang’s popinjays was but a name – a reputation. It was, in fact, an exaggerated title!
This was what Yun Yang was so niggled about!
Is being a virgin a sin? There’s nothing wrong having no experience, is there? I have kept a secret though… Let's see if I can use it in the future. Still, this is highly related to my dignity and I can’t say it out loud!
The four popinjays suddenly realized that they might have gone overboard. Was their boss so easily taken advantage of? Thinking of this, they chuckled abashedly.
"Boss is great and divine. You won’t have to use it, be it now or in future… We, on the other hand, are already lacking… Sigh, we have no choice…"
These four guys were experts in changing their stances according to the situation as they quickly painted themselves in a pathetic light to salvage the situation.
Yun Yang scoffed but did not really fuss about it. After all, arguing about this matter would only damage his reputed charm and elegance.
"Right. Dong Tianleng, your family hasn’t gotten any mystical beast offspring until now. The Phantom Vulture which you acquired with effort was given to me too…"
Dong Tianleng blinked and fell into an internal monologue, "Given to you? When did I give it to you? Didn’t I throw it away? How can that thing be presented as a gift? It’s a direct offense doing so! Is boss hinting that I’ve offended him because I refused to accept it?"
Dong Tianleng’s eyes squinted as he said, "It’s all thanks to boss being willing to accept it with grace. Boss is great and gracious, you bring betterment to the world that spreads to all life. Those who wish to give things to boss can queue up from Tiantang City all the way to the borderless ocean… Boss wouldn’t take it even if others were to present you a gift; it’s only this young brother who can have a little pride, to feel immensely honored!"
Qiu Yunsan and the other two turned their heads away, feeling a scratchy feeling in their throats. They sincerely wanted to retch so they could vent out the disgust in their hearts.
They were no strangers to bootlicking. If anything, they were exceptionally good at it, but to so shamelessly pander and stoop so low – it was their first time in life witnessing it.
Dong Tianleng’s shame was not lost; he never had any.
You could call something like a Phantom Vulture… a gift?
It was obviously something intended to purposefully disgust and insult someone.
Giving someone such a revolting thing as a gift was simply asking for trouble.
The three of them were stunned. Gift? Phantom Vulture? Did the boss really say that he intended to take it in?
"Boss… you… you won’t be intending to nurture that thing right?"
Qiu Yunsan’s eyes were wide as he stared at Yun Yang in fear and shock. "Boss, this… thing... can’t be nurtured!"
