Hua Zei was someone who only prayed to Lord Guan Yu and believed only in his fists.

  Jing Yun Zhao had a strong fist, and it was so strong to the point where no one could surpass her. Hua Zei would naturally no longer treat her as a young girl or a younger sister, especially now that he had witnessed her god-like martial strength. Hua Zei was so envious that he almost wanted to kneel and call her his Master!

  His gaze when looking at Jing Yun Zhao was a little deranged now.

  “Miss Jing……” he bit out. After the matter was over, Hua Zei treated everyone to drinks at a bar nearby. He was a little unused to it, since usually, someone with an ability like Jing Yun Zhao would more appropriately be called Elder Sister2 or Boss. But given that she was still so young, he felt that it was a little off, so he thought about it and changed his way of calling her, “Elder Sister Jing……”


  Jing Yun Zhao did a spit-take.

  “Just call me Jing Yun Zhao or Yun Zhao directly,” Jing Yun Zhao couldn’t find it in herself to accept this kind of thundering nickname.

  Hua Zei laughed at her reaction, “Yun Zhao…… Your marital arts aren’t bad, care to teach me? I can pay you.”


  “Sure, and I don’t need you to pay me, but I have a request.” Jing Yun Zhao answered without having so much as a second thought. Hua Zei never even thought that she wouldn’t even take a second to consider before she’d agree.

  “Shoot.” How could Hua Zei still have his usual lazy and easygoing attitude? His entire spirit changed.

  In the past, he was merely the leader of a small gang. Now things had changed. Just based on his influence, his name was now already within the top ranks within Hua Ning County.

  “Use the greatest speed to spread your influence, and I’ll help you beat up those who deserve to get beaten up. I wish for you to be a boss worthy of your name,” Jing Yun Zhao declared in all seriousness.

  Hua Zei’s mouth twitched, Is this giving me advantages to take for free?

  “What’s in it for you?” he was still in the right mind.

  There’s no free lunch in the world; she should have some sort of request, right?

  “I hope that from today on, the hoodlums of Hua Ning County will turn around and walk away immediately once they see me. The people and businesses I want to take under my wing, the brothers under you are all not allowed to touch it,” Jing Yun Zhao showed her cards.

  Her way of doing things now was also to prevent trouble from arising in the future.

  The presence of a local tyrant also had its own capabilities. Sometimes, even the police would give them some consideration. Moreover, many things that the police wouldn’t be able to accomplish, a local tyrant would.

  One exposed into the light, another hidden in the shadows. The common saying was right; You would be able to dodge an open shot, but you wouldn’t be able to guard against the hidden arrow. She might offend others in the future who would have the same idea as Jiang Wen Sheng to bribe the local tyrant to hinder her. At that point, no matter how strong she was, she would still encounter a day where she would be plotted against.

  “You’re helping me just because of this?” Hua Zei almost couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

  This person is so powerful, but she’s still afraid of those random hoodlums?

  Plus, as long as she reported her identity as the Devil King, they would definitely be like birds scared by the mere twang of an arrow and disband immediately.

  Of course, Jing Yun Zhao also knew about this, but what she wanted was slightly different.

  She wanted a thorough, one-time-only solution to remove risks from its roots, so that it would never have the chance to sprout.3

  Jing Yun Zhao nodded, “You can start preparing to make your move these few days. When you need me to lend a hand, you can just call me. But Hua Zei, I’ll make clear the ugly things right before us right now. I only want stability. I’m willing to help you now because you keep your promises and have your morals and deserve my trust for now. However, if you ever raise your hand against me, then even if I have to turn the whole world upside down, I will still be able to find a way to beat you back into your mother’s womb.”


  As Jing Yun Zhao was speaking, her murderous intent was thick and almost permeable. Hua Zei was terrified.

  “You can relax, Lord Guan Yu is watching us from above. Also, how would I dare do that?” Hua Zei trusted himself.

  After seeing Jing Yun ZHao in action, he could assure everyone that no one would dare be on her bad side in this lifetime.

  That kind of spirit was like a God of killing who’d come out of Asura’s Hell, being able to exterminate the opponents around them cleanly the whole time. The moniker of ‘Black Devil King’ was very apt for her.
