Chapter 128 - Smell Delicious



"Food? Are you seriously asking for food at this moment?" Deng Lijuan held a dumbfounded expression at Lee Tao.

"We\'re being raided by the Hun\'s Bandits right now, and we can\'t even tell if we will live." She added.

"I don\'t see how that\'s my problem?" Lee Tao asked calmly.

He proceeded to take a chair and sat down. 

"I\'ve paid for my room and food. Now I\'m hungry and want to eat." Lee Tao said.

"..."

It wasn\'t just Deng Lijuan being rendered speechless, but the other customers who were hiding in the Chiyu Tavern were also speechless by Lee Tao\'s words.

"Shi Tao, please tell me you\'re joking," Deng Lijuan asked calmly. "The Hun\'s bandits are about to come this way and if we still don\'t retreat, our lives will be over." 

"Just ignore him, Deng Lijuan. We need to go through the backdoor right now."

"Yeah, he\'s probably scared shitless and wanted to eat his final meal."

As the other customers prepared to rush through the backdoor, Lee Tao grabbed Deng Lijuan\'s wrist, preventing her from following the others.

"You haven\'t fed me yet, Deng Lijuan." Lee Tao said calmly.

"We\'re going to die now…" Deng Lijuan showed a depressed expression when she was being held by Lee Tao.

Time was ticking down and she could hear numerous footsteps outside.

Even if she could get Lee Tao to release her now, she was sure that there would be no more time left to run.

However, not long after, sounds of screams echoed from the backdoor.

"W-What the-" Deng Lijuan was shocked to hear the sound emitting from the backdoor that she originally wanted to go to.

She then glanced at Lee Tao, who still held a calm demeanor despite the screaming.

\'Did he know beforehand that the Hun\'s Bandits are camping there?\' Deng Lijuan thought.

"Speaking of your father, why don\'t I see him in the Chiyu Tavern?" Lee Tao suddenly asked, snapping Deng Lijuan from her thoughts.

"F-Father went out today to gather some herbs to brew our specialty soup." 

"Is that place far from the Pan Village?"

Deng Lijuan nodded her head.

"It will take at least half a day to reach there, so father should be safe." Deng Lijuan said.

"I wasn\'t asking for his safety… I was merely wondering if I can get a refund." 

"R-Refund?"

"Of course, I want a refund. You said food will arrive shortly, but even now, my table is still empty." Lee Tao said as he pointed at the table.

Deng Lijuan twitched her mouth.

Just as she was about to explain their current situation, the door to the Chiyu Tavern was smashed open.

"Heh, look at you two lovebirds hiding in a tiny tavern," Hun Chen laughed coldly as he barged inside with the rest of the bandits. 

"I-It\'s over…" Deng Lijuan\'s face turned pale when she could imagine her fate already.

Hun Chen and the rest of the bandits held a lustful expression as it became clear what they wanted to do with Deng Lijuan.

"Why is your face turning pale?" Lee Tao suddenly asked as he held her chin. "You\'re not sick either, so shouldn\'t your face be healthy?"

"Shi Tao… please stop joking at this moment."

"Do I look like I\'m joking? I\'m starving so much right now, so kindly go to the kitchen and cook me a simple dish." 

With that said, Lee Tao snapped his finger as a gush of profound qi emitted from him.

Deng Lijuan was flown toward the kitchen by Lee Tao\'s action.

"W-Wait a minute-"

BAM!

Before Deng Lijuan could finish her words, Lee Tao shut the door with his profound qi.

"Hehe, trying to hide your woman huh?" Hun Chen sneered coldly. He had thought Lee Tao wanted to buy some time for Deng Lijuan. 

Meanwhile, Lee Tao stood up as he stretched his neck.

"1,2,3…6 people here?" Lee Tao raised an eyebrow as he made a headcount.

"Where\'s the last person hiding?" He then asked, shocking Hun Chen.

\'How did he know we have 7 people in total?\' Hun Chen wondered silently.

However, it didn\'t take long before he decided to strike against Lee Tao.

"Attack him and then snatch the woman. Tonight, we shall enjoy a feast." Hun Chen shouted aloud.

Soon, the bandits raised their weapons and launched toward Lee Tao.

"Tsk tsk tsk, bandits are really bandits in the end. Their brain cells are really lacking a lot." Lee Tao sighed softly.

Just based on his calm demeanor this entire time should tell them something.

And that the hunter had always been Lee Tao, not the Hun\'s Bandits.

With a strong fluctuation, Lee Tao exuded his profound qi as he activated his movement technique.

Closing the distance between one of the bandits, Lee Tao struck his palm around his stomach, shattering his core and meridians at the same time.

"That\'s one down," Lee Tao smirked as he went after another bandit that was close by.

Hun Chen had his eyes widen in surprise when he saw his people collapsing one after another.

Heck, he couldn\'t even see what had happened to them.

"J-Just what is going on here?" Hun Chen asked in disbelief as he tried to swing his axe around him.

Lee Tao was showing numerous afterimages and Hun Chen did not want to take his chance.

Thus, he could only swing his axe around him to prevent Lee Tao from approaching closer.

Alas, he had overestimated his capability while underestimating Lee Tao.

Lee Tao was already done killing the 5 bandits as he sat back on his chair with a casual attitude, almost like he hadn\'t killed 5 people.

"Deng Lijuan, have you finished cooking a dish yet? Our little Hun Chen here is about to go crazy." Lee Tao called out.

Sometime later, Deng Lijuan brought out a dish of scrambled egg with a nervous expression.

The floor was filled with blood and decapitated heads.

"I-I have finished a simple dish…" Deng Lijuan stuttered as she placed the scrambled egg on the table.

"Smell delicious," Lee Tao clasped his hand as he began eating the scrambled egg.
