Master Head of the Dragon Soul

Chapter 32

“You were right to cripple my leg, Mr. Chu. I, Ma Jun, consider this a fair and just punishment.”

Chu Feng looked at the woman who’d fallen to her knees beside him as he demanded, “Those slaps I’ve given you, is it fair enough?”

“Fair enough, fair enough!” The woman was so scared and pale, she didn’t even dare breathe too hard. “I-I shouldn’t have driven recklessly, and forced someone else to apologise and certainly not abuse my influence to take revenge on you, Mr. Chu. You are being absolutely fair and you were right. I’m a cruel, nasty woman!”

Chu Feng glanced at her and said simply, “But I think your punishment isn’t serious enough.”

Ma Jun immediately rushed over at that and seized the woman by her collar, slapping her at least a dozen times as he scolded, “You nasty woman, nasty woman, nasty woman!” He punctuated each phrase with a slap, wounding her beyond all recognition.

After punishing Ma Jun and the woman, Chu Feng thought there was no point in continuing to deal with these small fry, so he dismissed them with a wave. Ma Jun and his men, however, kept thanking him as they were still shaken. After all, if this big shot could send their province-level benefactor to jail, then it was truly a blessing that they escaped alive. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

In the meantime, Ma Sanyuan also made several calls as if he was attempting to beg for Chu Feng’s mercy on his nephew’s behalf. Since the matter was already resolved, though, Chu Feng couldn’t be bothered and sent the calls straight to voicemail. Eventually, Ma Sanyuan got the hint as well and stopped calling.

Just then, Chu Feng received a call from Yun Muqing, who clearly sounded anxious and worried, “Are you alright, Chu Feng? I’ve already called the cops, the backup will be there soon.”

Chu Feng’s heart warmed instantly. “It’s alright, I’ve resolved the matter now. Where are you? I’ll come to you?” After that, he easily found Yun Muqing and Duo Duo at a cafe using the address she sent.

The moment they met, Yun Muqing worriedly checked Chu Feng for injuries. “Are you alright, Chu Feng? Did they hurt you?” She’d seen Chu Feng’s fighting skills before, but Ma Jun’s posse numbered in the dozens so how could Chu Feng have held his own against so many people? That was why she felt so guilty and worried, so much so that she called the cops after leaving with her daughter, but she felt relieved now that she could see Chu Feng got away without a scratch.

Chu smiled and said dismissively, “I have connections within the Chamber. All it took to fix things was a single call, so I didn’t even have to lift a finger.” He didn’t want Yun Muqing’s peaceful life to be disrupted, so he was fine with handling some things all on his own.

“That’s good, that’s good.” Yun Muqing breathed a sigh of relief, the worry on her pretty face now replaced with a blooming smile; if something had really happened to Chu Feng, she would never have forgiven herself for ‘retreating from the battle’.

“Thank you so much for helping us, Chu Feng. If it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t have known what to do.” Yun Muqing’s eyes were shining with gratitude, among other emotions as she bit her rosy lips; from chasing Yun Tao away the previous day to saving Duo Duo’s life from that woman and the Chamber’s wrath today, this strange man’s help made her feel safe. But try as she might, she couldn’t put a name to what she was feeling.

“There is no need to say ‘thank you’ between you and me. Not now, not ever.” Chu Feng calmly replied. When he met Yun Muqing’s astonished gaze, he thought internally, I owe you too much as a husband, too much to repay in this lifetime, at any rate. “Come on, I’ll send you both home.” Chu Feng took her luggage from her hands and summoned a cab; Luo Gang had been tailing them the

whole way, but a luxury car worth millions of dollars would have been too conspicuous, and that would certainly cause disruption to Yun Muqing’s peaceful life.

The whole ride was spent in silence. Beside Chu Feng, Yun Muqing quietly stared at the man with twinkling eyes. He was a man of few words, a little aloof, straight-backed even while resting, and exceptionally blessed both in appearance and in combat. A mysterious aura emanated from him, like the clouds surrounding the mountain peaks that penetrated the skies.
