My wife who comes from a wealthy family-Chapter 31 - 32 Xiong Fei

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Xiong Fei struggled to open his eyes, and only after seeing Su Tiesheng did he sigh in relief.

"You are an old soldier of the Northern King’s Palace. I, I have not come to the wrong place."

Before he could finish speaking, he closed his eyes.

"Lord Xiong Fei, Lord Xiong Fei, please wake up!" Su Tiesheng supported Xiong Fei, desperate with urgency.

"Let me take a look." Ye Wudao stood up and, upon examining the burly man’s injuries, was shocked.

He had at least thirty wounds on his body—knife wounds, sword scars, fractured bones, each one fatal, and most ominously, his left leg had been chopped off and was continuously bleeding.

"This guy is seriously injured!" Ye Wudao frowned.

While supporting Xiong Fei, Su Tiesheng knelt down hard towards Ye Wudao; "Wudao, please, you must save Lord Xiong Fei, he has saved my life!"

"Considering my relationship with Yueli, your kneeling is shortening my life, get up quickly!" Ye Wudao helped Su Tiesheng up, seeing that Su Tiesheng could not rise, he said helplessly, "Don’t worry, I will save him!"

"Yes, yes,"

Having received Ye Wudao’s promise, Su Tiesheng then got up.

Ye Wudao approached Xiong Fei, took out the Tianxing Jiuzhen, held five needles between his fingers, and shouted lowly, "Five Fire Life-Continuation Needles!"

In an instant, the five silver needles in his hand blazed with fire.

"True Fire?!" Su Tiesheng’s mouth hung open.

During his years in the Northern King’s Palace, he had seen much and knew that only those strong enough to transform their vigor could condense True Qi, and to condense True Fire, probably only beings beyond that level could achieve it!

The technique Ye Wudao carelessly displayed revealed a horrifying part of his power. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

While Su Tiesheng was astonished, Ye Wudao targeted five acupoints on Xiong Fei—the Zhongfu, Shenmen, Chengshan, Waiguan, and Fengchi—inserting needles into each one.

Once the five needles were inserted, Xiong Fei’s body continuously trembled.

Ye Wudao frowned and then extended his left hand, condensing a ball of True Fire in his palm before fiercely slapping it onto Xiong Fei’s chest.

"Time to wake up!"

Spurt!

Xiong Fei violently spat out a mouthful of black blood, and the previously unconscious man slowly opened his eyes, gradually regaining consciousness.

"Who, who are you?" Xiong Fei tried to rise, but Ye Wudao pressed him down hard; "If you don’t want to die, just lie down."

"Exactly who are you?" Xiong Fei glared angrily, and Su Tiesheng hurriedly said, "Lord Xiong Fei, he’s one of us!"

Upon hearing Su Tiesheng’s words, Xiong Fei finally relaxed his guard a bit.

"Alright, I’ve temporarily saved his life, but to restore the severed leg, we need at least three types of medicine."

"Which three kinds?" Su Tiesheng asked anxiously.

"First is Black Jade Continuation Cream, second is Essence Fire Pill, and third is Python Blood Grass, each one indispensable!" Ye Wudao spoke indifferently, mercilessly pulling out the silver needles from Xiong Fei’s body.

"Ah!" Xiong Fei winced with pain, slowly rising.

"Lord Xiong Fei, do you feel any better?" Su Tiesheng supported Xiong Fei, asking with concern.

"Indeed, a bit better," Xiong Fei was surprised to find that his injuries no longer hurt. He looked at Ye Wudao in front of him and said with a faint fist salute, "I, Xiong Fei, owe you my life. From this moment on, you are my benefactor!"

Ye Wudao waved his hand nonchalantly; "Forget it, I have many people owing me their lives, one less won’t make a difference."

"Lord Xiong Fei, who wounded you?" Su Tiesheng asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Xiong Fei’s expression grew grave; "You better not know about this matter. I cannot stay here long, otherwise, I fear I might bring you lethal trouble!"

Having said this, Xiong Fei tried to lean on Su Tiesheng to stand up.

Who knew that the moment he moved, he spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.

Ye Wudao, hands in his pockets, said, "I don’t want to repeat myself. If you want to live, don’t move."

"Cough, cough!" Xiong Fei chuckled bitterly, resigned to sitting down.

"Lord Xiong Fei, have a cup of tea first." Su Tiesheng brought over a cup of tea; "What exactly happened? How did you get so badly injured?"

Xiong Fei drained the cup and, wiping the corner of his mouth, said in a low voice, "I was pursued from the Capital City all the way to Jiang Hai for seven days and nights. During this time, my left leg was struck by a poisoned arrow. Fearing the poison’s outbreak, I took a knife and chopped off my own leg!"

As he mentioned his severed leg, Xiong Fei didn’t even frown!

Hisss!

Thinking back to the perilous moment, Su Tiesheng involuntarily gasped.

"Xiong Fei, who exactly are those people?"

Xiong Fei did not answer, but the tightening of his fists betrayed his thoughts.

The air grew quiet.

Ye Wudao, unhurriedly lighting a cigarette, slowly began to speak, "You are not too weak, being a Martial Arts Grandmaster after all. Oh, you’ve actually fallen to the peak of Hua Jin, that’s pitiful. Chased for seven days and seven nights, it seems you really provoked someone you shouldn’t have!"

Cold flashes shot from Xiong Fei’s eyes. "You can actually see my power level?"

The martial path is as arduous as the sky!

Roughly divided into Houtian, Xiantian, An Jin, Hua Jin, Martial Arts Grandmaster...

Most martial artists are stuck in the Houtian or hover at the Xiantian level for their entire life!

Only a few can step into An Jin, already considered as masters.

As for Hua Jin, strong enough to be considered a powerhouse, able to dominate a region!

And above Hua Jin is the legendary Martial Arts Grandmaster!

Martial Arts Grandmaster is divided into nine grades, with first grade being the weakest and ninth grade the strongest!

Upon reaching the realm of Martial Arts Grandmaster, one can form Protective Gang Qi, able to withstand bullets. A powerful Grandmaster might even be impervious to knives and guns, establish schools, and receive high respect!

Above the Martial Arts Grandmaster is the legendary Great Grandmaster, whose presence is as significant as Taishan Beidou in Dragon Country, heavily relied on by officials, elusive as a dragon!

And Xiong Fei here was once a Martial Arts Grandmaster, truly extraordinary!

"Is it that difficult?" Ye Wudao said, with smoke curling from his mouth and a gleam of insight in his eyes.

"Who exactly are you?" Xiong Fei looked at Ye Wudao with a cautious expression, stunned that Ye Wudao could discern his fallen realm.

If his enemies knew of his realm’s decline, they would never let him go, vowing an endless pursuit!

"He’s my granddaughter’s boyfriend, Ye Wudao, one of our own." Su Tiesheng answered with a smile.

Xiong Fei still trusted Su Tiesheng’s judgment.

Especially since this young man had just saved his life.

Thinking of Ye Wudao’s mesmerizing acupuncture skills, he thought of a possibility and bowed.

"The benefactor is young yet your medical skills are astounding, I admire you immensely!" Xiong Fei exclaimed.

Smoking his cigarette, Ye Wudao responded indifferently, "Don’t flatter me; just speak plainly."

"Please heal me and let me return to the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm!" Xiong Fei pleaded with his head lowered.

"Why should I?" Ye Wudao frowned. "I saved your life already, that was for the old man’s sake. Don’t bite off more than you can chew!"

"Thud!" With a sound, Xiong Fei knelt on one knee. "As long as you’re willing to save me, I, Xiong Fei, am willing to serve you for one year!"

Hiss!

Su Tiesheng gasped in surprise.

The famous North Hall’s top five strongman Xiong Fei, offering to serve for a year, was something countless forces dreamed of.

"Serve?" Ye Wudao looked troubled. "What can you do, or what are your strengths?"

"Loyalty!" Xiong Fei said. "Absolute loyalty!"

Ye Wudao’s brows relaxed, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. "Your answer pleases me. Let’s start with a one-month trial period to see how you perform!"

"Yes!"

Just then, the three women, previously drunk, slowly woke up, rubbing their bleary eyes.

"Big sister, my head really hurts!" Xu Mengmeng complained.

"Little kids shouldn’t drink that much moving forward!" Xu Yuanyuan scolded.

"Hmph, you’re one to talk, big sister! You also drank a lot!" Xu Mengmeng pouted.

"Oh? Who is this?" Su Yueli curiously eyed Xiong Fei.

Su Tiesheng furrowed his brows, wondering how to explain to his granddaughter.

Yet Ye Wudao was already speaking with a smile. "Wife, this is our new bodyguard. He might be crippled, but he can really fight! You can just call him Big Bear from now on!"

"Uh!" Xiong Fei forced a smile but nodded his greetings. "Madam, hello!"

On the side, Xu Mengmeng adorably asked, "Big Bear, Big Bear, where is Little Bear?"
