Wicked Soldier King Chapter 2

Ruan QingShuang used her slender fingers to wipe the tears from her face. She walked up to Xu Yun and said, “Thanks. Thank you….”

Xu Yun laughed, waved his hand and said, “As easy as lifting my hand, I couldn’t bear the sight of these big men bullying a young woman.”

“Yooo, wonderfully saved by a hero today?” The leader said from the middle of the group of tattooed big guys.

Just now, Xu Yun’s slap and kick truly stupefied them, and unexpectedly shocked their condescending attitude. But as they recovered, the big guys never even deemed Xu Yun worthy. As they saw it, Xu Yun could fight but if he stood alone, surrounded on all sides by a thousand men of the Four Wolves Gang, they didn’t need to worry about 1 person.

Xu Yun turned his head and looked at the tattooed men and laughed saying, “What? You guys also want to hear 100,000?”

“Little punk, where are your manners! Your daddy here is with the 4 Wolves. If you don’t want a thousand people to hunt and butcher you then shut the f’ck up and obediently get out the way!” The leader of the tattooed men said.

Once the 3 words “Four Wolves Gang” left his lips, the crowd of bystanders took a step back and retreated, their faces flooded with dread. Apparently the infamy of the Four Wolves Gang was extreme.

“If I don’t want to go then? Are you gonna cut me?” Xu Yun wrinkled his eyebrows and said.

“*Snort*, little punk, I know you can fight, but I came today to collect debt, and collected it. You wanna fight, we can set it up anytime!”

Xu Yun’s lips curled with disdain and he said, “A creditor that doesn’t look for a debtor, and instead looks for people completely uninvolved – towards the small penniless fry you say it’s the wrong person, but towards the big fry, then you harass them…”

“Hmph!” The leader of the tattooed guys gave a cold snort, glaring fiercely at Ruan QingShuang he said: “Will you settle Lu Bao’s gambling debt or not?”

“Lu Bao owes you money, you should get it from him. It has nothing to do with me.” Ruan QingShuang said, her face slightly afraid.

“Seems that now you have this little punk protecting you, you dare to flee from your debt with the Four Wolves? Today your daddy here is gonna lay it out for you kids. You don’t want to pay in place of Lu Bao and keep your money, then big daddy is gonna rip down this little sh’tty restaurant of yours!”

Ruan QingShuang never would have thought they would be so unreasonable – shocked and afraid at the same time, she was all alone in HeDong City, who would help her?

Not knowing what to do, Ruan QingShuang subconsciously looked at Xu Yun next to her.

Xu Yun threw Ruan QingShuang a reassuring look, and then took a step forward facing the tattooed leader. Laughing, he said, “Now I don’t think too highly of opening casinos or whorehouses for a living. Workers of a restaurant aren’t too bad, but now, haha, I’ll give you two choices. One, forget the whole tough words act between us and just leave with your tail between your legs. The other option is to end up just like Lu Bao, plus 20,000 and then you scram. Pick one!”

“Huh? You f’cking dare to compare my Four Wolves Gang to a whorehouse?” The tattooed leader’s eyes were as large as bells, with anger flushing out. His lackeys behind him also became ragingly furious.

“Stop giving yourself face. Are you guys that much cleaner than a whorehouse?” Xu Yun said indifferently.

“Sh’t, punk are you looking to die….” The leader said. He took out a club from his waist and charged towards Xu Yun.

“Ah! Watch out…” Ruan QingShuang frighteningly screamed, she had never been in this kind of situation before. Everyone became scared, but she hadn’t forgotten to call out and warn Xu Yun.

Xu Yun didn’t bother to evade. He waited until the baton was inches from his head before he moved.

Suddenly only his right hand’s middle and index finger stretched forward, so fast it became a blur in midair.

Crack!

Xu Yun’s fingers smashed straight through the baton, making a loud and clear sound. The sound wasn’t very loud, but the surrounding people looked like many lightning bolts came crashing down and stood bewildered.

The fierce smash of the baton… Xu Yun abruptly and effortlessly blocked it.

Witnessing this reversal and the silent crowd’s amazement, even the leader holding the baton was stunned. Just now he used enough strength that even though it was just a baton, the crushing swing could smash holes – forget about a person’s flesh or even their fingertips. Yet unexpectedly it was blocked.

Surprise, shock, astonishment…..

No other reaction came from the leader. Xu Yun seized the opportunity – grabbing the baton and pulling downwards, he threw the baton.

The leader only felt tremendous force on his wrist and an arm dragging him into a sudden spin. He couldn’t control his body as he was forcefully dragged tumbling through the air. His back slammed hard onto the concrete ground. His eyes contorted in pain as they saw stars and his brain had a sense that the sky was spinning.

Xu Yun didn’t stop. Using his shoe, he used the tip of it to roll the leader over, immediately exploding with strength and lifting upwards – then this 200 lbs muscular guy soared 2 meters in the air, forming a perfect parabola in the air. Following Lu Bao’s fate, his brains straight away plummeted on the cement ground.

“Just like that you guys still came out to collect debt? Robbing a bank is more advanced, sh’t!” Xu Yun muttered, then with a flash, he rushed dead center towards the attacking thugs.

Straight fist, Rising Shadow Kick, *bam~ bam~* hit the mouth neatly.

Dominating, direct, simple…

In not even half an hour, all 5 or 6 thugs were laying on the ground like bodies, each one like a dog’s corpse. They lay motionless and unresponsive, utterly defeated.

“Face is one’s own, but the money is the Four Wolves Gang’s! Look at each of you in your sorry state, your daddy here feels sorry for your parents, sh’t!” Xu Yun said.

“…” After hearing these words, the bystanders were truly speechless.

“If you don’t wanna die, roll away. If you wanna die, stay there like a corpse!” Xu Yun said coolly.

In the wake of these words, a loud roar erupted towards Xu Yun’s ears.

“You little sh’t, if you have the balls, say your name…”

Xu Yun turned his head and looked. It was one of the big thugs whose entire face was as bruised and swollen as Lu Bao’s. “Xu Yun. If you want revenge then come find me, but I’ll warn you that next time I won’t be so gentle!”

“Alright, you little sh’t, just wait, Four Wolves Gang… ugh”

The tattooed thugs remained defiant; Xu Yun swaggered near him. He lifted his leg and stomped on his stomach, and then stomped on all the other thugs as well, only leaving behind successively longer shrieks.

“Your daddy already told you his name, and you’re still complaining. You’re asking for it.”

Seeing their boss provoked more of Xu Yun’s wrath, the gangsters rolling on the ground grimaced in pain as they scrambled with covered faces. Clutching their stomachs, or bracing their legs, and supporting each other, they quickly tried to charge through the center of the encircling crowd of bystanders.

The Four Wolves Gang’s people just took a severe beat down. The crowd of bystanders knew that very soon the Four Wolves Gang would come for retaliation, and so they all quietly made way for them.

Ruan QingShuang’s beautiful eyes were full of an expression of gratitude as she looked at Xu Yun. Her pretty face, which was pale earlier was now filled with a tinge of rosiness.

Ruan QingShuang casually and calmly walked up to Xu Yun and said. “Thank you, Xu Yun.”

“Piece of cake.” Xu Yun laughed.

Just then, the young voice of a child was suddenly heard.

“Mommy, mommy…”

Following the sound, Xu Yun became totally petrified, because he saw a 5 or 6 year old little girl just like a small bird throwing herself into Ruan QingShuang’s bosom.

“I, you, damn! How did this happen? Did I just screw up? I was tricked?” In his heart, Xu Yun wanted to cry rivers of tears.

Ruan QingShuang smiled apologetically at Xu Yun. Her expression cherishing the little girl as she gently stroked the child’s head. “My daughter GuoGuo is a bit mischievous, please don’t mind, I’m sorry.”

This sentence was like a thunderbolt as it hit Xu Yun’s ears, and pretty much completely annihilated the hopes in his heart with this girl.

“Hehe, hehe….you’re pretty young, your daughter is 6 years old maybe?”

“Huh?” Ruan QingShuang’s pretty face couldn’t help but blush. “This is my adopted daughter.”

It was like spring came suddenly for Xu Yun, pitch black became full of vitality like a rising tide – laughing he said, “Very good, haha, very good….”

“Mommy, I’m hungry!” GuoGuo said, as she nibbled on one of her chubby pink fingers.

Ruan QingShuang apologetically said to Xu Yun, “Please don’t take offense, why don’t you come by my restaurant, I’ll cook some panacea food for GuoGuo.”

“Sure.” No way would Xu Yun refuse! He agreed immediately and decisively accepted Ruan QingShuang’s invitation.

The three of them returned to the panacea restaurant. Ruan QingShuang first put GuoGuo in a chair and then picked up an apron and turned into the kitchen.

GuoGuo played oddly, staring at Xu Yun left and right.

Xu Yun didn’t dislike kids, in fact he liked them a bit. When he saw them playing happily, he felt a sense of envy because when he was little he never had that kind of treatment. Everyday he would train in martial arts, and do weighted long distance running….

Thinking about it all, Xu Yun and GuoGuo chatted a bit.

One adult and one child chatted in good spirits. Xu Yun asked about some ordinary things, and learned about GuoGuo’s adoption from beginning to end. Turns out that Ruan QingShuang went shopping for groceries some time ago. She went to a recycling station, and while standing and waiting she saw a filthy little GuoGuo. Maternal instinct flooded her and in a daze she brought GuoGuo back to the restaurant, and raised her as her own daughter.

“Uncle Superman, just now when you battled those bad guys it was really cool!” GuoGuo said, her face flushed with excitement.

“Superman?” Xu Yun suddenly felt like he had his underwear on backwards, but accepting GuoGuo’s nickname, would hurt the nuts even more than wearing underwear on backwards!

TN: I think it means he feels awkward that is so flashy, a sign of humbleness maybe.

“Hehe, Uncle Superman, you like my mom don’t you?” GuoGuo interrogated.

“……”

“You don’t need to deny it okay, I can see it.” GuoGuo said with seriousness.

“……”

Xu Yun remained silent. Did kids nowadays mature that quickly?

GuoGuo winked her big smart eyes, laughed ‘hehe’ and said, “Uncle Superman, wanna become my dad?”

Once Xu Yun heard this his eyes brightened. In ancient times, people traveled thousands of miles to see their fathers all the way home, today ten miles is enough for them to adopt* (as a godfather). He just needed to win over this little girl, and with Ruan QingShuang’s love for her precious adopted daughter, how could he fail?

TN: As in seeing guests out, very important in Chinese culture. The further you go, the more respect for the person.

“Mmm, hehe, alright then!” He said, pretending to ponder over something deeply. This little demon skillfully charmed people.

GuoGuo blinked her big eyes, turned a few times, then stretched a chubby little hand to Xu Yun and said, “Give me 100 Yuan.”

Xu Yun was too stunned to react, this little girl brazenly asked for the first-meeting gift. He immediately complied, taking out 100 Yuan and giving it to GuoGuo.
