Douluo Dalu: Legend Of Xiao Yan - Chapter 80

Xiao Yan has went through many surprises in his life.

Reincarnation, befriending the main characters of the fictional world he reincarnated into, rising up into a genius like a badass main character, finding out that this wasn’t his first rodeo of reincarnation, some secrets of the changed world, finding love, etc..

With all that had happened, nothing would surprise him anymore.

So really, the situation going on in front of him didn’t surprise him one bit.

“Alright, my name is Jia Lie Ao. The one and only young master of my clan! I’m here on the behalf of my clan, the Jia Lie Clan, to find and capture this supposedly boogeyman!” A presumptuous prick declared as he and his entourage trio of stooges walked into the store, kicking the door, like he owned the damn place. Three optimal spirit rings surrounded him while the bodyguards hadn’t released theirs.

‘Of all the bastards that I would see once more in this life, why did it have to be him.’ Xiao Yan mentally g.r.o.a.n.e.d in irritation which he didn’t openly showed on his face as really, he didn’t want to play with this son of bitch while his arm was itching like crazy!

Jia Lie Ao, a big a.s.s pain in the a.s.s for him in the early days during his fall from grace of a genius in his first reincarnation. He was known as a l.u.s.tful, shameless and degenerate person that prey on young women and bully the weak while kissing the asses of top dogs like his father, Jia Lie Bi.

Basically; typical young master that has a stick up his a.s.s.

From what Xiao Yan could remember, Jia Lie Ao wasn’t really a big deal of a pain. Just a headache really. The problem however, lay on his background. In his first reincarnation, and before his three year training-journey, the Xiao, Jia Lie and Ao Ba clans were the top most clans in the entire city.

Xiao Yan wasn’t really afraid of them, the Jia Lie clan and Ao Ba clan, except for the consequences of having his clan go to war that is, and they did though. A one sided slaughter, with his clan being slaughtered and was about to be completely destroyed, if he hadn’t arrived with Cai Lin…

His hands slowly clenched, his heart beating erratically, memories and emotions flashed for a moment in his mind before he f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y calmed down.

‘She isn’t here. I know she’s somewhere around this world. I just haven’t found her yet. So stay calm and don’t let your heart beat while guys are in front of me, that’s just gay.’

Suddenly, he felt the curiosity of Flame Emperor surfaced at the back of his mind, wondering what his past life had encountered to feel such irritation, and other intense emotions, and decided to manifest to take a look. Xiao Yan didn’t need to looked behind him to see his past self manifesting behind him in a spectral form, with a couple moments later his face turned into a look of pure disgust.

“Oh, it’s him…” Xiao Yan heard Flame Emperor muttered before feeling the latter’s entrance back into his mindscape while not before saying.

‘I don’t know why you suddenly felt emotions like you were looking at your wife while staring at some guys, but I don’t care. I just don’t wanna deal with the bastard once more. I’ve had enough of him in one lifetime thank you very much.’

Xiao Yan twitched his face at the misunderstanding but decided to let it go. As he felt the same, sadly, he has to deal with the young master and his bodyguards instead of going back to relax and mess around with pills.

‘Oh well, if the guy doesn’t bother me too much I’ll just give him a slap on the wrist; via Mind Over Reality controlling him slap himself and his bodyguards.’ Mind Over Reality is so OP; as the perfect hypnosis it also has the ability to control a person he hypnotized. Depending on the mind of the victim, he could control them for as long as they have the will to resist and break free but that’s only if they realize they were being controlled. Subtlety is key on hypnosis and mind control after all.

Letting out a sigh, a polite and clearly faked smile appeared on Xiao Yan as he went on professional business mode.

“Hello dear customers, what can I help you with?”

Jia Lie Ao and the bodyguards didn’t noticed the momentarily shift of Xiao Yan as they were also busy looking around the store.

A few moments of looking around, Jia Lie Ao decided to finally noticed Xiao Yan as he walked forward and stood in front of the latter’s desk, his three spirit rings around him glowed a bit for intimidation, which didn’t work, with a serious and determined expression, in a commanding and condescending tone, he said.

“Hello there, uh, I don’t really care who you are, I’m just looking for the owner of this store and I’m sure you can point me and my pals here to where he is. Better hurry as well, I don’t have much patience and time.”

A tic mark appeared on Xiao Yan’s forehead, his hands clenched under the desk wanting to punch the bastard to seven ways to subday, but he maintained his calm face and fake smile.

‘You’re dead, you motherf.u.c.ker!’

“Oh I’m sorry, but you just missed the boss. The store is about to close you see, and he always leave before closing time.”

A frown marred on Jia Lie Ao and his bodyguards faces as heard they Xiao Yan explained.

“I see… Say, what’s your name?”

Brow arched, Xiao Yan replied with a completely straight and honest face.

“You can call me Mister X dear customers.” Not wanting for further trouble and headaches later on, Xiao Yan decided for a alias that wasn’t much for imagination, and copyright.

“Mister X? Strange name, but whatever. So the owner isn’t here huh? Well then I supposed…” Jia Lie Ao nodded simply then wind started to moved strangely, like the beginning of a tornado, it rattled the furniture around.

Xiao Yan quickly noticed the sudden change of the wind, especially since the wind itself seemed to visibly gather around Jia Lie Ao.

Not only him, his other bodyguards had finally showed off their spirits. Unremarkably, they were all ordinary weapons of one thirty-seven inched long sword, one two-meter long spear and one one-meter long and a.d.u.l.t torso sized battle axe. They all have the same spirit ring configuration: one white, one yellow and two purple spirit rings.

“Since he’s not here, we’ll just send him a message. By ‘redecorating’ this store of his, you won’t mind will you? Or better yet, we can have you ‘help’ in sending the owner a message.”

While cold and viscous grins appeared on the oppressors face, Xiao Yan slowly bowed his head slightly for his bangs to shadowed his face.
