Chapter 16 - A Sea Cucumber

  "Hoo--"   Helian Lie's momentum is amazing, just like a super high speed crystal rail train, before the person arrives, the strong wind that makes people unable to open their eyes has already ruthlessly smashed into Li Yao's face.   Li Yao's eyeballs as if pins and needles, a coolness from the tailbone straight to the heart, the depths of the brain as if there is a "switch" violently opened, just woke up from a dream in the incomparably sharp five senses again.   Within this 0.1 second, he clearly saw the three young men who were not far away from him, saw the leaves and flowers on every plant in the small garden, smelled the fragrance of dozens of dishes that were being cooked in the kitchen, and even saw clearly that a mosquito was flying over seven or eight meters away.   At the same time, he also saw that on the ground between himself and Helian Lie, there was a piece of pitch-black sea cucumber lying on the ground that he had just accidentally dropped on the ground.   A large pile of numbers exploded, exploded, exploded in the depths of his brain domain, combining into a series of marvelous formulas, coalescing into countless information streams of moments, force arms, direction of force, trajectories of movement, and so on.   Right after this 0.1 second ended, Li Yao blinked his eyes, and before his mind could react, his body had already snatched a step ahead of him and subconsciously moved a small step to the left.   When he moved, Helian Lie immediately followed up, his body swayed slightly, moving his attack route by 0.1 meter as well, so when his right leg landed hard, it happened to step on the slippery sea cucumber, and his entire body lost its balance!   If he was facing another opponent, Helian Lie wouldn't have been so careless, but Li Yao was nothing but an insignificant piece of trash in his eyes, and in the heat of his anger, he wasn't on guard at all, and he directly slipped out.   Li Yao slightly sideways, Helian Lie from his side a hair's breadth away slipped through, Li Yao can even see clearly Helian Lie's stunned expression and almost burst out of the eye socket of the big eyeballs, slipped out of the three meters, Helian Lie knocked over a big table full of food, "bam" sound, three or four big pots of food splitting head and head smashed down.   Soup thick sea cucumber, flavorful scallops, fresh to the extreme pearl fish balls ...... did not waste at all, all appeared in Helian Lie's hair, face, shoulders, expensive handmade luxury clothes, it looks like Helian Lie just took a bath in the slop bucket.   Silence, horrible silence, graveyard-like silence!   Helian Lie's jaw dropped, every bundle of nerves on his face was frozen and twisted into an odd expression of slight confusion, shame, anger, and madness.   Li Yao blinked his eyes and watched as a sea cucumber slid down from above Helian Lie's knife-carved "sword eyebrow and starry eyes" in a slow, reluctant, and still wanting to talk.   "This, this fun can make a big mess, where did this kid come from? It's too messy!" Not far away, Zheng Dongming was convulsing violently as if he was having a seizure, a fat face already suffocated into a purple-red color by the unstoppable laughter.   He tugged the two broadswords and took a few unmoving steps backward before he couldn't hold back his laughter, "I didn't realize that watching a man eat is more interesting than watching a woman take off her clothes, you guys, this can't be an entertainment program that Helian arranged specifically for my birthday, right?"   A rich young man hesitated, "It can't be? I remember that this person, Helian, seems to be a bit of a clean freak, look, Zheng Shao, Helian's expression simply looks like he's about to cry out, should we go up and help?"   "Of course not, such a wonderful program, it's a once-in-a-lifetime event, of course we should watch it to our heart's content!" Zheng Da Shao said very unrighteously, after a pause, he smiled again and said, "But I see that this kid is quite a character, Xiao Luo, quickly use the Spirit Crane to send a letter to the private hospital that your family owns, and hurry up to send a top-grade first-aid shuttle - I see that Hyrk Lian is about to explode! "   Sure enough, Helian Lie came to his senses from his initial stunned desire to explode, like an active volcano reviving from its dormant state, hot magma crying out, the intense Qi flames that surrounded his body practically condensed into a substance visible to the naked eye, and the temperature within half a meter radius was raised by several degrees!   "Click, click, click, click," the bones around his body emitted a series of firecracker-like bursts that sent shivers down one's spine.   Li Yao's brain was on full speed, countless memory fragments rotated madly in the depths of his brain domain, and each of them reflected an image of a fierce battle.   On the surface, it looked like he was completely shocked by Helian Lie's ten thousand feet of ferocious aura and was dumbfounded.   However, underneath the dull appearance, every bundle of his muscle fibers slowly tightened, like springs compressed to the extreme, gathering powerful energy.   His hands were clasped in vain, naturally hanging on both sides of his body, as if he was clutching two giant jackhammers, slightly swaying, ready to strike.   Just as the air tore apart, just in the nick of time -   A chubby hand suddenly rested on Helian Lie's left shoulder, and a middle-aged fat man of more than two hundred pounds, dressed in a manager's uniform, noiselessly appeared behind him and said with a smile, "Young Helian, you're drunk."   Helian Lie's pupils suddenly contracted, and the hostility that had the appearance of substance turned a hundred and eighty degrees, unabashedly attacking the fat man.   This big fat manager, also did not look like he had practiced any martial arts, in the face of Helian Lie's hostility, but it seemed like a spring breeze, not caring.   He slowly and methodically said: "Any guest who comes to dine at Hidden Lake Realm is our bread and butter, and will absolutely receive superb service, this is the tenet that we have been adhering to for decades at Hidden Lake Realm, and who in the entire 'Upper East Side' doesn't know about it? If Great Young Master Helian wasn't drunk, how could he have hit out at my food and clothing parents in front of me?"   "You threatened me?" Helian Lie's tone was stern as he spoke in one word.   The fat manager smiled slightly, his face's fat meat fluttering around, appearing somewhat thievish: "I wouldn't dare to threaten Herren the Great, even if I ate a bear's heart and leopard's gall, I'm just reminding one more time that the one dining at the third corridor behind Herren the Great, at table 22, is a reporter from the Floating Gothic City Entertainment Journal."   "There's a reporter?" Helian Lie's face became very ugly, he looked down at the mess on his body, if this honor was photographed by the entertainment tabloid's reporter, in less than half an hour, he would definitely become the "most famous" rich kid in the city of Fuego, and this kind of "fame" was never the kind of fame he wanted. This kind of "fame" is not the kind he wants.   He gave Li Yao a dead, dead stare, clenched his teeth, said nothing, and fled Hidden Lake without looking back.   Only then did the big fat manager turn back and motionlessly sized up Li Yao.   Li Yao and the appearance of the opposite of the calm and collected slightly surprised him, froze for a moment, the big fat manager is very sincere apologized: "This VIP, really sorry, because of our negligence, so that you in the Hidden Lake small realm dining during the harassment, in order to make up for your losses, today this meal costs free of charge, counted as the store treats, I hope that today's little episode will not affect your view of the Hidden Lake small realm, but also to make up for your loss, this meal is free of charge, counted as the store treats, hope that today's little incident will not affect your view of the Hidden Lake small realm. I hope today's hiccup won't affect your perception of Hidden Lake Realm, and I welcome you to continue to support our restaurant."   The restaurant that can stand for decades in the 'Upper East Side' has its own deep heritage and transcendent pattern, the operator will not be the slightest bit slow because of the guest's clothes and status, everything is adhering to the most extreme service concept, which can create a reputation that is not easy to get a thousand pieces of gold.   Li Yao froze and was about to nod his head when an aroma of wine hit his face, and an oily-headed, cat-eyed teenager, full of smiles, appeared in front of him.   "This student, my name is Zheng Dongming, you can call me Zheng Shao, or you can call me Da Dong, but don't ever call me Xiao Ming, I saw everything that happened just now, I think that you are simply one in a million, a dragon and phoenix amongst the people, the very best of the very best, how about it, make a friend?"   Under the gaze of Li Yao's somewhat wary eyes, Zheng Dongming stretched out his hand calmly, gently holding a business card decorated with a gorgeous spiritual pattern between his fingers, "Don't be nervous, I don't have any other meaning, I just want to introduce a very professional insurance sales to you to get to know, and I suggest that you take out all of your savings right now, and immediately go and buy a personal accidental injury insurance with the highest amount, because --"   After a pause, Zheng Shao's face was suffused with a very weird smile, said sorrowfully, "Trust me, you'll need it tomorrow."
