Chapter 72: Descent of the Crow's Butt
Translator: Tim Editor: Tehrn
"What?" Although Pu Dongheng could speak fluent Chinese, he was so angry that his accent changed after hearing Chen Weilin's request. He had been challenged for a month, and no one in Ning Hai was a match for him, but now, someone wanted to challenge everyone in their club at the same time.
Pu Dongheng's face turned purple as he said, "Okay, but he must beat me first. Perhaps after he had fought me, he wouldn't say such things. I'm sorry President Chen, I want to ask you to tell him that there will be injuries in the fight, don't regret after he goes in the hospital. Although our club welcomes challengers, not every little prawn can come and challenge us. Now, if he still wants to fight then hurry up," after speaking, he sat down and meditated, ignoring Chen Weilin.
"What, the challenger tonight wants to challenge the entire club? Is this real?"
"What a boss, who is this? Even if he loses, I will still support him."
The people at the scene erupted upon hearing this news that had spread like wildfire across the scene as it had immediately excited those supporters with only one thin line of hope. Although they knew this was impossible, it still ignited their fervor. There was no stopping it.
Ye Mo didn't have to wait long until Chen Weilin came back with someone following behind him. That person had an agreement in his hand and made Ye Mo sign and press his fingerprint on it.
After that person had left, Chen Weilin said, "That Han said that you would earn the right to talk about fighting his entire club only after beating him. Right now, he is waiting for you on the stage."The boisterous scene immediately quietened down after Ye Mo came in. Originally, they thought that a challenger who could be so cocky was at least very tall and big if not bulky. However, the quiet looking Ye Mo was obviously a student.
Many people could no longer allow their eyes to be tortured and left quietly, thinking that even if they were no match for them, they couldn't use such low ways of pestering them. At least Li Bangqi was nearly 1.9m tall, but this Shi Ying was not only not bulky but also didn't look like a Martial Arts Master no matter what.
Pu Dongheng was also stunned, he really had some expectations for this arrogant Shi Ying, but he had never thought that he would be so young. It could be said that out of all the people that had challenged him this month, this Shi Ying was the most ordinary.
"You are the one who arrogantly challenged our entire club?" Pu Dongheng pointed at Ye Mo and really couldn't get his head across.
However, Ye Mo didn't answer and just said coldly, "If you want to fight hurry up, I still have other business, I don't have time to play with you Martians."
He could easily tell how strong Pu Dongheng was: slightly stronger than Wen Dong, but if she was fighting with her life on the line, he might not even be a match for her. Compared to that Brother Hu he was going to see that night, Pu Dongheng was a far cry. How could someone like this be called a master?
"Martian?" Pu Dongheng repeated and soon realized that Ye Mo was ridiculing him for being ignorant, so he replied: "Soon I will let you know what regret is."
Then, Pu Dongheng immediately went for a combo kick. Pu Dongheng believed that if he used this combo kick, Ye Mo definitely wouldn't be able to dodge it. He was going to kick Ye Mo up as soon as possible, and when he fell down, he would launch a round of attack.
The cheering at the gymnasium immediately stopped. Most of the people at the scene had seen Pu Dongheng's matches. This was the first time he had used his combo kick as soon as the match started.
The less brave girls didn't even dare to look at Ye Mo anymore and just closed their eyes instead.
Ye Mo sneered. From the way Pu Dongheng moved, he could tell that he wouldn't be able to improve in his life at all. His movements were too reserved, and although Ye Mo didn't cultivate Chinese martial arts, he knew that someone who tried to kill his opponent on the first attack wouldn't be someone strong unless he was actually countless times stronger than his opponent.
And, this Pu Dongheng wanted to beat him senseless with one move? He thought too high of himself!
Ye Mo didn't even move and just stared coldly at Pu Dongheng's combo kick.
"Oh no!" Everyone who looked at Ye MO sighed. "He didn't even know how to dodge. This was too stupid. Chen Weilin must have gone mad from the losses and found someone like this to get beat up."
Pu Dongheng's idea was good, and it seemed insurmountable to him. Perhaps this idea wasn't bad for those opponents he had faced before. Even if he couldn't succeed with this one, he still had other moves, and this wouldn't affect him at all.
Unfortunately, he met Ye Mo.
Ye Mo's first move was to reach out his hand and grab his ankle. The second move was to swing him up and then followed with two kicks on each of the knee caps on Pu Dongheng's legs.
Pu Dongheng didn't even get to scream when Ye Mo's third move, a few quick kicks, landed on his chest. The fourth move was the final kick that landed right on his nose.
The last sentence that Pu Dongheng, who was shouting in excruciating pain, heard was "I'll give you the Descent of the Crow's Butt move!" After hearing this sentence, he felt that he was sitting inside a round barrel with countless garbage covering his face.
After Ye Mo had walked off for a few seconds, the scene suddenly erupted into thunderous roars. He actually kicked a Han, who was so arrogant for a month, flying so easily. "How dare you act cocky in China? Taekwondo? It was only something that our ancestors in the Tang Dynasty passed into the Han lands. Now, how dare you proclaim that to be your own. Now, you encounter the attacks of our ancestors, and your butt has to turn around."
The gymnasium was rumbling. There were countless calls going out or coming in.
"Quickly come, it's true, he really was beaten, and in one move, it was so fascinating. There should be more, later on, come quickly. But there are no longer seats here anymore."
"Ahahahhaa, your fault for leaving. God, luckily I didn't listen to you. That was really a show. One move. What? How to describe that move? Just pretend it was Bruce Lee. Yeah, go regret, no time to talk to you. I need to go see my idol..."
"No I can't deal with it, I love Shi Ying, I want to marry him..."
"Stop drooling, just look at you, sigh, it's a bit hard."
"Miao Yuan, do you want to die..."
.....
"What? He actually won? And in one move? What the hell, why is my luck so bad. I've been watching it for a month, but I didn't get to see this. No, I must get there, it's too exhilarating..." a young man who was eating fast food immediately hung up and quickly went out.
"Hey, you still haven't paid for your food yet." When the boss rushed out, there was no one left.Chapter 73: Famous

"That Shi Ying kind of looks like someone from my school, how is this possible?" Immediately, a Ning Hai University student realized that Shi Ying had similarities with Ye Mo but obviously didn't dare to believe that thought. Who didn't know who Ye Mo was in Ning Hai University? How could he become Shi Ying?
"Pfft, keep dreaming, your school? The strongest in your school, Li Bangqi, has already lost."
The student who spoke before felt so as well. After all, there were too many similar-looking people, so he didn't say anything anymore.
...
"Master Shi, I didn't think you would be so strong. It was really right to invite you this time. It's almost like a dream, I..." Chen Weilin was so excited that he didn't know what to say anymore. He didn't think that this Shi Ying would be much, much stronger than what Fang Weicheng had proclaimed. That cocky Pu Dongheng was absolutely out of his league.
Although Fang Weicheng was sure that Ye Mo would be eventually the victor, he didn't think he would win so cleanly.
A tall girl ran in, and looking at Ye Mo, hopefulness glimmered across her eyes, but she still remained calm and said to Chen Weilin, "President, some journalists want to interview Brother Shi Ying."
Of course, Chen Weilin also wanted journalists to interview him. For him, the more known this event was, the better, but he still needed to ask for Ye Mo's permission.
Ye Mo heard the girl's words but waved his hand and said, "There's no need for an interview, hurry up and arrange for that 'Club Master' to fight me. I don't have much time."
"Okay, okay, of course, your things are the top priority, I will arrange for it immediately. Yu Yaxin, push the journalists away. Just say that Master Shi Ying needs to rest," after finishing, Chen Weilin rushed out, but his footsteps were much lighter than before.
Seeing that Chen Weilin went out, Yu Yaxin suddenly took out a small notebook and pen, walking fearfully toward Ye Mo, she asking in a small voice, "Brother Shi, could you give me an autograph."
Ye Mo smiled and said, "Of course."
Then, he took over the notebook but as soon as he had written one character, he felt that something was wrong. He was used to writing Ye Mo and actually wrote the first character to be Ye. However, he just hesitated for a moment before finally writing down "Shi Ying".
Yu Yaxin took the book with a blushed face saying thank you before rushing out. She still needed to tell the journalists that they couldn't do interviews, but her heart was still beating rapidly. Thinking about the admiration she would receive from her schoolmates in her dorm, she couldn't resist revealing a smile at the edge of her mouth.
"Why won't Mr. Shi be interviewed?" The female journalist was very shocked upon hearing that Ye Mo rejected interviews. Although she was only one media body of Ning Hai, who didn't want to be famous now? There was a chance to be famous, but he didn't take it.
Yu Yaxin saw the journalist was a bit unhappy and hurriedly said, "Master Shi might have another match, how about you ask President Chen later. I can't make this decision."
"Fine, I will go talk to your vice president, and if that still doesn't work, I will go straight to the president of the Ning Hai Martial Arts Association!" this female journalist spoke angrily. She was very unhappy with the condescending attitude that the Ning Hai Technology University was adopting.
Just when Ye Mo was getting impatient while waiting for his next opponent, Chen Weilin hurried in with a face full of excitement.
"How did it go?" Fang Weicheng had been staying with Ye Mo. He knew that Ye Mo's time was short so he asked Chen Weilin as soon as he came in.
"The Hans surrendered! The Han Style Taekwondo Club will leave tomorrow and won't use that title ever again!" Chen Weilin said excitedly with a face full of pride and satisfaction. It was as though he had defeated Pu Dongheng himself.
Fang Weicheng frowned and said, "How could the Hans surrender? Their club master is really strong, I've seen him before. He is definitely much stronger than that Pu Dongheng. This shouldn't be."
However, Chen Weilin replied, "Yes, they said it very clearly and even signed. That club master checked Pu Dongheng's wound and looked at the recording. Then, he immediately surrendered. However, he said that it was only temporary. He would fight Master Shi at the same place a year later."
Ye Mo frowned. He didn't have time to fight them again a year later, but since they surrendered now, he couldn't fight them again today anyway.
Seeing Ye Mo frown, Chen Weilin immediately said, "I didn't agree with him but he said that I didn't need to, he would come here a year later, and if Master Shi Ying didn't come to fight him, he wouldn't blame you. He just said that if you didn't come, then it would be obvious who would win."
"They lost and yet they are still so cocky. These Hans are really shameless!" Fang Weicheng was angry.
Ye Mo waved his hand and said, "We can talk about these things a year later. I'm leaving now." He stood up and headed for the door.
Seeing that Ye Mo was about to leave, Chen Weilin hurriedly said, "Master Shi Ying, today is a joyful day, how about I invite you to a dinner with us at the Ru Wei Tower. Also, a few journalists are waiting outside for you."
Ye Mo smiled and said, "There's no need for that, I still have things to do anyway. I'll just leave using the window so there won't be any trouble with the journalists outside," he didn't even wait for their response, he opened the window and jumped out.
"Huh... Wait! This is the third floor!" However, Chen Weilin had barely enough time to finish his sentence before Ye Mo had already disappeared from the window.
Chen Weilin and Fang Weicheng rushed to the window and yet, Ye Mo was nowhere to be seen.
Although Ye Mo had left, this scene was actually more chaotic. People were celebrating, drinking champagne and beer everywhere, and the room was filled with happy shouts, simply because the Hans, who had been winning consecutively for a month, had admitted defeat. They could take what was yours in front of you, but making them admit defeat was extremely hard.
At this time, Shi Ying's name had spread throughout the entire university and was spreading outside even quicker. Many people were starting to know that a great Master called Shi Ying had appeared in Ning Hai.
The happiest people tonight were those who got to see with their own eyes the match between Ye Mo and Pu Dongheng, but the unhappiest were those journalists who waited for him for a long time and still didn't manage to see him.
And then, there was the last group of people, the morose one. They were the ones who left at the last minute. Now, no words could describe their feeling.
Regret was too light of a word to describe their feeling. It was as though a hardcore Chinese Soccer Fan was watching the world cup between China vs. Spain in the finals, and after 90 minutes, the score was 0 to 4 with China losing. Although the referee had called for three more minutes of overtime, because of the disappointment, a lot of soccer fans had left the stadium. Yet three minutes later, they learned outside of the stadium that China had scored 5 goals in three minutes and eventually pulled down Spain from the throne with a score of 5 to 4. But the last 3 minutes, they weren't there to see it. How depressing would that be?
.....
The time was already around 11 pm, so Ye Mo quickly left the Ning Hai Technology University. What he wanted to do first was to treat Ning Qingxue, and at this time, the person staying with her should be already asleep.
Chapter 74: Ning Qingxue's Last Words
Translator: Tim Editor: Tehrn
When Ye Mo came to the house, he found a 30-or-so-year-old woman still sitting in front of Ning Qingxue's bed, and looking quite similar to her. It was probably Ning Qingxue's mother. However, she looked really young, and if Ning Qingxue's incident didn't occur, she would perhaps look even younger.
With Ning Qingxue's mother here, Ye Mo didn't know whether or not he should go in now.
Just when Ye Mo was hesitating, the woman beside the bed spoke, "Qingxue, you should let go of that case and sleep."
"Mom, you can go to sleep, I want to have some quiet time to myself..." although her voice was really soft, Ye Mo could still hear it with his spirit sense.
The woman near the bed sighed and spoke after a while, "The nurse and I will be outside, if there's anything that you need, just ring the bell. If you're in pain, tell mom, and I'll get the nurse to come in and give you some anesthetics."
Ye Mo looked at this woman as she walked out of the room and waited until she was outside to rub her eyes. This place had been transformed into a temporary medical place, and two young nurses were sleeping on the beds on the side.
Ye Mo waited for a while, and when that woman sat on the bed, he went over quietly and pressed the chakra point of the 3 women inside the room to force them to sleep. He didn't want someone to suddenly charge in while he was treating Ning Qingxue.
After doing all that, Ye Mo entered Ning Qingxue's room. He used to live in this room before and gave it to Ning Qingxue after she had come. As he entered, Ye Mo felt things were familiar yet unknown at the same time.
He looked at Ning Qingxue who was hugging the case and knew that her injuries were very serious, even more than he had expected. He just couldn't understand why she constantly hugged his case.
Ye Mo was still thinking whether he should tell Ning Qingxue that he was treating her, or make her sleep and then treat her when he heard Ning Qingxue's quiet murmuring. Then, he saw the red phone on her hands, and he immediately realized that she was recording a message on it.
"Ye Mo... I'm sorry, I will leave soon... I know that I hurt you, and I regret it so much. I really wanted to see you once before I passed away to apologize... After experiencing all that, I finally know how naïve I was... I am. However, I finally realized how magnanimous you are, but it is already too late. Besides, the only thing I do not regret is blocking that grass... I only regret the way I treated you.
"After reading your letter, I understood how lonely you were. You never had friends, and yet I was still a nasty woman, hurting you again and again... I even used the money you earned from selling your blood to buy a few thousand dollar bottle of wine... but I never thought about how you would feel, I just did what I wanted without thinking of the consequences... and when I finally understood things, it was already too late..."
Ning Qingxue coughed a few times as her face was getting paler, but she still moved her phone closer and continued, "Ye Mo... I don't know if I love you, but if I still had the chance to be engaged with you... I definitely wouldn't do it because I needed you as a shield, but because I am willing to marry you... perhaps it has nothing to do with love, and you might even say I'm not good enough for you... but I still keep the marriage certificate by my side. I... never divorced... and won't divorce in the future. You are my only husband in this lifetime... Regardless if you know it or not, regardless if you agree or not, I, Ning Qingxue, am willing to be your wife and am your wife.
"Ye Mo, I still have to apologize to you... I was your wife, but I never took on the responsibilities of a wife for a single day. Instead, I got you into so much more trouble... I was like an immature child, thinking that I knew everything," — she paused for some time — "Ye Mo, I will protect you from Heaven... you need to stay well, it's a pity that I wasn't even able to leave a child for you... You must find a girl who loves you... not someone like me..."
Speaking till now, Ning Qingxue gasped for some air and caressed the case with her hands before saying once again, "Ye Mo, I've never said the two words 'Lao Gong' [1] in my life, I really want to say it... but I'm too embarrassed..."There's a blade of grass in the yard. I took care of it every day because I've seen you do the same with the previous one. I don't know if it could be useful to you... If it is, then take it away when it matures... perhaps that is the only thing I can leave to you...
"Ye Mo... Lao Gong... are you still well?" Ning Qingxue's voice gradually got lower.
Ye Mo suddenly felt sour and guilty in his heart. When he had helped Ning Qingxue before, he wasn't as magnanimous as Ning Qingxue thought him to be. He just thought that Ning Qingxue's gloomy faced looked like his master Luo Ying, so he was willing to help her. He wanted his master to also have people helping her if she ever was in trouble.
And the money from selling blood, he didn't go for her. Even if he had had more money than he could have spent, he would have still gone there. Wasting was bad, but Ning Qingxue thought that he was trying to make a living for her and still felt guilty about it.
It could be seen that Ning Qingxue was a kind-hearted girl. It was just that the environment she lived in, and her family background gave her a sense of aloofness that made her have a distaste toward strangers. However, if you peeled away the layer of her shield, she was a kind-hearted, yet pitiful person. However, she mixed up the feeling of love and guilt. Perhaps she would understand one day.
Ye Mo sighed, this had further reinforced his decision of saving Ning Qingxue. However, he wouldn't tell her for now. After all, his abilities were too absurd, it would only scare her.
Just when Ye Mo thought that Ning Qingxue was asleep and prepared to seal a few meridians on her to treat her, Ning Qingxue suddenly grabbed the phone and mumbled, "Dad, mom, I'm leaving... I've been a bad daughter, I already married to Ye Mo... that case is his marriage gift to me, don't separate that case from me. There's a grass in the yard that I left for him... if he ever came back, give this phone to him, but if he never does," — she paused for a long time — "Then nevermind...
"Sorry, I caused so much trouble for the family and just left..."
Ning Qingxue's voice suddenly dropped low. Just when Ye Mo was wondering if he should tell her that he was already here, Ning Qingxue suddenly grabbed a knife from the case and pierced it toward her throat...
Ye Mo was shocked and couldn't care anymore as he dashed in front of Ning Qingxue. There was too much distance, and he didn't have time to grab the knife. He could only block with his arm in front of her throat.
The knife pierced Ye Mo's hand and was blocked by Ye Mo's Chi, rendering it unable to go any farther.
However, Ning Qingxue fainted because she had used too much strength. Ye Mo pulled out the knife, although it didn't pierce very deeply, there was still some blood.
Ye Mo stopped his wound from bleeding, and seeing that Ning Qingxue had fainted, he raised his hand and sealed a few meridians, rendering her unable to wake up for some time.
Afterward, he tried to take the case from her arms; however, he discovered that Ning Qingxue clutched the case tightly. Even when she had fainted, her hands still held the case firmly. Unless Ye Mo forced it out of her, he wouldn't be able to take it from her at all.
Ye Mo helplessly shook his head and could only open the case in her hands. There were quite a few things inside, Ye Mo took out a bottle of pills and took out that packet of silver needles.
He stuffed two heart protection pill into Ning Qingxue's mouth and, using his Chi, he helped her body digest it.
Afterward, he took up the 108 silver needles, sterilizing them with his Chi, and flipped Ning Qingxue as he took off her top.
