Open up and break into another world

Stepping into Barbarian Earth Cuisine, Xu Ming immediately spotted Ma Shaobai sitting by the window.

“Well, it seems I really can’t avoid this trouble today!”

Xu Ming had only walked into this restaurant on a whim, never expecting Ma Shaobai to be here as well. It really is… bad luck!

“I hope he reconsiders and doesn’t come looking for trouble! Otherwise, he can only blame himself for being humiliated!” As if he hadn’t seen Ma Shaobai, Xu Ming casually found a seat and sat down.

Xu Ming really didn't take a small fry like Ma Shaobai to heart at all.

In terms of strength, although Xu Ming appeared to not even have reached the Xiantian realm on the surface, his true strength was actually quite formidable even among those in the Xiantian realm. If he were to use a cheat, then his strength would have no limit!

In terms of background, although Xu Ming didn't know the extent of the Ma family's power in Barbarian City, could their power be stronger than Gu Hanmo's? Gu Hanmo was the daughter of the Barbarian Sect's Sect Master, her status completely crushing all forces in Barbarian City—with Xu Ming's relationship with Gu Hanmo, it shouldn't be a problem to flaunt her influence a little, right?

Strength, crushing Ma Shaobai; background, also crushing Ma Shaobai—in such a situation, did Xu Ming need to take Ma Shaobai to heart?

However, the tree desires tranquility, but the wind will not cease. Xu Ming didn't want to bother with this Ma Shaobai, but Ma Shaobai insisted on jumping out and causing trouble.

Xu Ming had barely touched the chair with his butt when Ma Shaobai and his lackeys had already surrounded him.

“Boy, it seems you are determined to provoke me today!” Ma Shaobai's face was so gloomy that it could drip water.

I, Ma Shaobai, am at least a person of some standing in Barbarian City, yet today I was chased from the black market to Barbarian Earth Cuisine by a boy from a rural backwater! How could I endure this?

“In the black market, I didn't dare to touch you; do you think I still wouldn't dare to touch you outside the black market?”

“I just happened to come to this restaurant as well.” The reason Xu Ming gave a slight explanation was because he felt that this coincidence was indeed quite embarrassing for Ma Shaobai. A little explanation, hopefully, would calm the anger of this brainless young master a little.

After all, Xu Ming really didn't want to slap someone's face as soon as he arrived in Barbarian City!

“Happened to?” Ma Shaobai's voice suddenly rose, “How could there be such a coincidence in the world? I think you knew I was in this restaurant and deliberately came to provoke me!”

Ma Shaobai had originally planned to go find Xu Ming after he left the black market and teach him a lesson. Unexpectedly, before he had time to go, Xu Ming had already come to his door—it was practically chasing after him to provoke him!

Could Ma Shaobai, this young master of a wealthy family, endure such provocation?

Absolutely not!

“I, Ma Shaobai, am a kind person. Now, I'll give you one last chance! Two requests, if you fulfill them, I won't hold your provocation against you and will let you live!” Ma Shaobai said, “The first request is to give me that black pearl; of course, I won't treat you unfairly, I'll still buy it from you for one hundred thousand taels of gold!—I, Ma Shaobai, am not short of money!”

Xu Ming listened.

One hundred thousand taels of gold to buy the Dao Demon Pearl that he had exchanged for with the Ghost Gate Rebirth Pill?—Ma Shaobai definitely didn't know the value of the Ghost Gate Rebirth Pill. If he did, he probably wouldn't dare to provoke him so foolishly.

A Ghost Gate Rebirth Pill was worth several hundred low-grade Mysterious Stones on the market! Even if Ma Shaobai was sold, he couldn't raise enough money for a Ghost Gate Rebirth Pill!

Poor Ma Shaobai continued to provoke Xu Ming ignorantly: “The second request… kneel down, kowtow ten times, and call me grandpa ten times, just as an apology! Then, you can safely scram!”

“Hmph hmph!” The three lackeys also looked at Xu Ming with threatening eyes from the side.

The commotion here, of course, alarmed the owner of Barbarian Earth Cuisine.

“This kid actually offended Ma Shaobai?” The owner looked at Xu Ming with pity, “Fortunately, Ma Shao is merciful today, letting him kowtow ten times and call him grandpa to let him go; otherwise, no one would cry injustice for this kid even if he was beaten half to death!”

In the owner's opinion, Xu Ming should now gratefully offer up that pearl or whatever, then kneel down, kowtow, and call him grandpa.

As for dignity?

How could dignity be more important than life!

Xu Ming glanced at Ma Shaobai coldly: “What is the second request?”

Ma Shaobai thought that Xu Ming was afraid, so scared that he didn't even hear his words clearly. He couldn't help but smile smugly, then repeated it again: “Kowtow ten times and call me grandpa ten times!”

While repeating, Ma Shaobai was still very much enjoying this imposing feeling, thinking to himself: “Back then, my Ma family was just an ordinary family, how could I be so glorious! Fortunately, my good sister is capable… Now, the entire family is thriving, and even those families that used to compete with us are now fawning over us like dogs…”

When one person attains the Dao, even their pets ascend to heaven.

The Ma family's current glory really all depended on Ma Shaobai's sister.

“Kowtow ten times and call you grandpa ten times?” The corners of Xu Ming's mouth turned up slightly.

“You heard clearly now, right?” Ma Shaobai thought that Xu Ming had already succumbed, and couldn't help but become even more smug.

“Heard clearly.” Xu Ming leaned back on the chair in a nonchalant manner, facing Ma Shaobai, “Come, kneel down!”

Xu Ming really didn't want to cause trouble at first, because he really didn't want to slap someone's face as soon as he arrived in Barbarian City. But now, this face had already been brought to his doorstep, and it seemed that he really had no choice but to slap it.

Since he really had no choice but to slap it, then Xu Ming was too lazy to remain low-key! Slapping a face was fine, killing the chicken to warn the monkeys would save him from being provoked by any Tom, Dick, or Harry.

“What!?” Ma Shaobai's three lackeys were stunned, “He… he's telling Ma Shao to kneel down?”

“This ignorant fool who doesn't know how to live or die!” The Barbarian Earth Cuisine owner was also stunned, “Ma Shaobai is already so merciful today, yet he's so unappreciative—poor kid, hopefully, he'll still be able to see the sun tomorrow!”

Immediately, the owner took out a communication talisman: “Hello? Old Wang? Send me a new batch of tables and chairs… Yes, yes, someone's about to start fighting in the restaurant again…”

The most bewildered was probably Ma Shaobai: “You… you dare…”

“What are you three standing there for? Get him!” Ma Shaobai was truly enraged!

“Can't be merciful!” Ma Shaobai thought fiercely in his heart, “I've already been so merciful, telling him to kowtow ten times and call me grandpa, then letting him go, yet he's escalating the provocation…"

Xu Ming remained sitting in the chair, simply flicking his arm.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

The three lackeys were immediately sent flying.

“You…” Ma Shaobai widened his eyes.

Slap!

The answer he received was a slap.
