Chapter 16: They Are Too Weak, One Punch Can Kill One
"Husband, we haven't heard from Yan'er for a month, I'm really worried."
Mrs. Xu looked worried.
Xu Junhe, the wealthiest man in Donghe County, was in his forties, but still retained the handsome features of his youth. At this moment, he also wore a troubled expression.
"Wife, Yan'er must be strictly disciplined. We can't indulge him anymore. You can't pamper him like this!"
"Husband, what are you talking about? He's my only son. If I don't pamper him, who will?"
Mrs. Xu looked displeased.
"I..."
Xu Junhe sighed.
Just then, a maid rushed in. "Master, Madam, the young master has returned!"
"Yan'er is back?"
Mrs. Xu's face lit up with joy as she hurried outside, muttering, "Has he lost weight? Has he tanned? I hope he hasn't been injured."
Xu Junhe sighed again, his face stern as he followed behind.
...
"Where is Master Pan? Be careful, all of you, bring it in for me. I'll handle it myself."
Xu Yan was directing the servants to carry the Red-eyed Tiger into the slaughterhouse, preparing to personally skin it.
At the same time, he instructed the servants to find Master Pan, who was highly regarded at home.
"What kind of tiger is this? Why is it so big?"
"Even though it's dead, standing in front of it still makes my legs go weak!"
Several guards and servants of the Xu family, looking at the tiger's corpse, were all shocked.
Even though it was dead, standing in front of the Red-eyed Tiger still induced a feeling of fear and weakness.
Several guards lifted the stretcher and carried the Red-eyed Tiger towards the slaughterhouse.
"Yan'er, come and let Mother have a look. Have you lost weight?"
Mrs. Xu's indulgent voice came.
"Mother!"
Seeing his own mother, Xu Yan suddenly became obedient.
"Father!"
Xu Junhe's face was stern. "You finally decided to come home?"
Before he could say anything, Mrs. Xu immediately became unhappy. "Husband, Yan'er has just returned. Hold back your temper."
"I..."
Xu Junhe held back his anger, unable to express it.
He could only glare at Xu Yan fiercely, using his stern gaze to scold him.
Mrs. Xu pulled Xu Yan, looking him over. He hadn't lost weight or tanned. On the contrary, he seemed quite robust. Seeing that her son hadn't suffered outside, her heart instantly relaxed.
"Yan'er, you..."
Suddenly noticing the Red-eyed Tiger on the stretcher, Mrs. Xu exclaimed, "Yan'er, did you hunt this giant tiger?"
Mrs. Xu's face was tense at the moment.
"Mother, I bought it!"
To avoid worrying his mother, Xu Yan could only lie.
He dared not say that he had personally killed this Red-eyed Tiger.
"Bought it? That's good, that's good!"
Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the problem could be solved with money, there was no danger. As long as her beloved son didn't take risks, spending money was worth it no matter how much.
Xu Junhe looked at the Red-eyed Tiger, trembling with fear. This giant tiger was too terrifying. Even though it was dead, it still gave people a sense of oppression.
He had seen tigers before!
He had even hunted them.
However, this particular giant tiger was extraordinary. Even in death, it exuded a kind of intimidating presence.
"What kind of tiger is this? I've never seen one like it!"
Xu Junhe asked in confusion.
"Master, we've never seen one like it either!"
Several guards shook their heads.
"Dad, this is the king of tigers, the Red-eyed Tiger!"
Xu Yan spoke up.
"The Red-eyed Tiger?"
Xu Junhe looked puzzled, never having heard of it before.
He glanced at the guards, who also shook their heads.
A servant spoke up, "Master, the Red-eyed Tiger is from legend. It's said to be the king of tigers!"
Xu Junhe's face darkened instantly. He glared fiercely at Xu Yan and said, "How can we believe in legends?"
Although this giant tiger was terrifying, he didn't believe it was something recorded in legend. He just thought it was a rare type of tiger.
Xu Yan didn't argue. He knew his father wouldn't believe it.
Nobody would believe it was from legends.
The guards carried the Red-eyed Tiger into the slaughterhouse, and Xu Yan chatted with his mother for a while before going to the slaughterhouse to personally skin the tiger.
"The Red-eyed Tiger truly deserves to be called the king of tigers. Even an ordinary person would probably not pierce its skin with a sharp knife!"
Xu Yan sighed.
Master Pan arrived and was also amazed to see such a giant tiger.
At Xu Yan's request, he picked out dozens of precious medicinal herbs from the Xu family's herbal store, most of which were nourishing herbs for nourishing blood and Qi. These were to be used with the Red-eyed Tiger's flesh and bones to brew herbal medicine.
Xu Junhe, seemingly casually strolling over, glanced at the nearly finished tiger remains and calmly said, "Master Pan, make sure to properly handle the tiger tail."
Master Pan hurriedly put on a smile and nodded, "Master, rest assured, I'll use half of the tiger tail to brew a jar of Tiger King wine, and the other half will be used with precious herbs to make a rejuvenating potion. Even in old age, one can maintain vigor!"
Xu Junhe nodded in satisfaction. "Hmm, Master Pan, if you need any precious herbs, just let me know."
Xu Yan couldn't help but speak up, "Dad, I still have..."
He planned to offer it to his master.
Xu Junhe glared at him angrily and said, "Do you think your father needs it? Your grandfather is getting old and busy with official duties. He needs this medicine."
"You're so pampered by your grandfather, don't you know how to show filial piety?"
Xu Yan opened his mouth but could only acknowledge his father's decision regarding the tiger tail.
'With my master's cultivation level, he wouldn't care for the tiger tail, and it's not very refined. It could be a bad idea if he doesn't like it.'
Thinking this way, Xu Yan felt it was better to give tiger skin to his master.
"Hmph!"
Xu Junhe, having scolded his son, walked away.
Master Pan followed after him. "Master, are you really not interested? I was planning to use the Tiger Tail to brew a slightly less potent medicine, more suitable for someone of your age."
Xu Junhe patted Master Pan's shoulder and said, "Old Pan, although I don't need it, it can be given as a gift. Some of my business associates of my age might need it, so go ahead and do as you planned."
Master Pan glanced at him suspiciously but didn't reveal anything. He nodded, "Understood, I know what to do!"
That night, the Xu Mansion was filled with joy. Madam was happy today and distributed a sum of money as a reward. She also held a banquet, and the servants were joyful, eating heartily.
Their silly young master, after being away for a month, finally returned.
And he brought back a giant tiger, called the Tiger King!
In the courtyard of the Xu family, a pot of Tiger King meat was cooked. Mr. and Mrs. Xu ate a small bowl but couldn't anymore.
Xu Yan ate most of the pot of Tiger King meat by himself.
The remaining portions were given as rewards to several skilled guards in the house.
These guards were also top-notch in the martial world and were hired by Xu Junhe from several martial arts sects.
Now, these martial arts masters were no longer valued by Xu Yan.
He thought they were too weak.
One punch could kill one.
Of course, when he was young, he learned martial arts from these few and had a good relationship with them.
After finishing the tiger meat, Xu Yan returned to his residence. Without his permission, no one else was allowed to enter.
This was where he practiced martial arts.
After returning last time, he made some changes and built a secret room.
