These words might threaten others, but trying to threaten Shang Qi was truly impossible.
Shang Qi met Xu Du's gaze. He gave a cold smile and looked away.
The next second, the pile of meat on the shelf next to Xu Du spontaneously combusted.
Xu Du, who had been watching Shang Qi, didn't expect the meat on the shelf beside him to burst into flames out of nowhere.
As the meat burned, its aroma filled the air. Xu Du was startled and suddenly turned his head to look at the burning meat.
A water ability user quickly took action, using water to extinguish the raging flames.
The fire was doused with water, and the flames soon subsided and then extinguished.
The fire was out, but the meat on the shelf was charred and damp, looking quite disgusting.
Xu Du glanced at the blackened meat. As if thinking of something, he suddenly looked down and stared at Shang Qi: "It seems you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. If that's the case, don't blame me for not warning you."
After saying this, Xu Du directly pushed the meat and the shelf, which had been so badly burned by Shang Qi, off the city wall.
With a clang, the meat and shelf fell to the ground, scattering everywhere and kicking up countless clouds of dust.
Shang Qi looked at Xu Du on the city wall and continued to provoke him: "Gather your men, and let's have a fight. We'll see if you lose or I win."
Since Shang Qi had declared his intention to slaughter the city, he naturally intended to follow through.
Xu Du's authority as the leader had been challenged, especially in front of all his subordinates. This was unbearable.
Looking down from his high position, Xu Du stared at Shang Qi's face with fierce eyes: "You wait. I'll come down right now and kill you so you can't fight back. Then, I'll use you to vent my anger."
After Xu Du finished speaking, his subordinates burst into exaggerated laughter.
As they laughed, they looked at Shang Qi with lewd expressions.
The implication of "venting his anger" was quite clear.
Xu Du left the city wall, and his subordinates followed him.
Wen Shangsheng stood beside Shang Qi. As a man, he understood the meaning of Xu Du's words.
"Third Brother, leave them to me later. I'll kill him myself," Wen Shangsheng said angrily, wishing he could tear Xu Du into pieces for daring to speak such vulgar words to his Third Brother. It was simply intolerable.
Shang Qi didn't look at Wen Shangsheng, lowering his head to look at the Tang sword in his hand. "I'll handle it myself."
Seeing Shang Qi say this, he obediently nodded. "I'll listen to Third Brother."
While they were talking, Su Ling had already gotten out of the car and slowly walked over to Shang Qi.
As she approached, Wen Shangsheng quickly made space for her.
Su Ling stood beside Shang Qi, who promptly returned the Tang sword to her.
After taking the Tang sword, Su Ling stretched and said, "Slaughter the city?"
Shang Qi grunted. He affectionately stroked Su Ling's flowing long hair. "I can't get your hands dirty. You just watch from the side, and I'll do it."
"No," Su Ling said, her voice faint, a lollipop in her mouth and the Tang sword in her hand. "Anyone who bullies my Shang Qi will not be forgiven. He wants to vent his anger; then I'll make sure he has no anger to vent."
Venting anger, in this context, was not ordinary anger. It was dirty and inauspicious.
Especially since Xu Du, a grown man, would say such things to humiliate Shang Qi. Su Ling would not be satisfied until Xu Du was dealt with.
Shang Qi looked at Su Ling, who was standing up for him, with doting tenderness, wishing he could pull her into his arms and hold her tightly.
"Alright, I'll listen to my A Ling," Shang Qi said, taking Su Ling's hand and looking forward.
Chu Jin, seeing the two being affectionate, interjected: "Their strength is unknown. You are very powerful, but it's best to be cautious in all matters."
