Chapter 1397: Chapter 1397: Bone-Deep
Inside the Seven Treasures Restaurant, the oppressive atmosphere made it hard to breathe.
"Gao Feng, I’m asking you again, are you willing to come with me!" Mo Wei fixed his sinister gaze on Gao Feng as he spoke.
"No! I’m! Not!" Gao Feng raised her eyes, biting her pearly teeth, not avoiding Mo Wei’s gaze.
On Gao Feng’s stunningly beautiful face, there was an expression of resolute determination.
"Hahaha..."
"Good! Very good!" Mo Wei’s arrogant laughter echoed.
"Young Master Mo!" At this moment, the supervisor of the restaurant, Mao Wen, quickly stepped forward, displaying a sycophantic smile.
Mo Wei’s eyes flickered over Mao Wen, and he curled his lips in disdain.
In his eyes, Mao Wen was naturally just a trivial figure. Not only Mao Wen, the small supervisor of the restaurant, but even the entirety of Seven Treasures Restaurant didn’t count for much.
If he truly made up his mind, leveling the Seven Treasures Restaurant wouldn’t be impossible.
"Mao Wen, today I’m going to take this wench from here. Are you going to stop me?" Mo Wei questioned with a sarcastic tone.
"I wouldn’t dare, wouldn’t dare! Young Master Mo, please don’t misunderstand." Mao Wen shook his head quickly.
As he spoke, he swept Gao Feng a fierce glance with his piercing eyes.
Young Master Mo wasn’t someone Seven Treasures Restaurant could offend. He was very angry that Gao Feng had infuriated Young Master Mo. When he brought Gao Feng out, he had even threatened her, urging her to serve Young Master Mo well.
Unexpectedly, Gao Feng still angered Young Master Mo.
"Gao Feng, why don’t you quickly apologize to Young Master Mo? Just what kind of status does Young Master Mo have, and what status do you have? Do you think you have the right to reject Young Master Mo? It’s your fortune that Young Master Mo is interested in you. You should find out how many women in Tanshan City wish to get close to Young Master Mo but never get a chance!" Mao Wen reprimanded Gao Feng.
Gao Feng said nothing.
But her expression spoke volumes; she wouldn’t change her mind, not even if it meant death!
"You rascal, did you not hear me clearly?" Mao Wen widened his eyes, yelling in a harsh tone as he saw Gao Feng remain unresponsive.
"Supervisor Mao Wen, you are truly pitiful!" Gao Feng looked at Mao Wen, speaking in a cold voice.
"You..." Mao Wen was furious, Gao Feng’s attitude made him exceedingly angry.
"Enough!" Mo Wei waved his hand and said, "Mao Wen, it seems you can’t change this wench’s mind. Then today, I’ll have to take her away by force. The Seven Treasures Restaurant won’t try to stop me, will it?"
Mo Wei spoke with a threatening tone.
Although he didn’t quite regard Seven Treasures Restaurant highly, the Building Owner of Seven Treasures Restaurant still had some influence in Tanshan City. If Seven Treasures decided to stand against him taking Gao Feng away, it might escalate things, potentially leading to trouble, like the City Lord intervening.
But if Seven Treasures Restaurant didn’t interfere, then things would be easy to handle. Gao Feng, a martial artist of the Void God realm, had no ability to resist at all before him.
"Gao Feng, since you are so blind to good fortune, you can’t blame the restaurant!" Mao Wen first said to Gao Feng.
"Young Master Mo, this Gao Feng is no longer part of Seven Treasures Restaurant. From now on, she has no ties to Seven Treasures Restaurant. Young Master Mo, you may do whatever you wish!" Mao Wen turned to Mo Wei, smiling obsequiously.
Upon hearing Mao Wen’s words, Mo Wei nodded in satisfaction and gave Mao Wen a much kinder smile.
Feeling Mo Wei’s smile, Mao Wen felt his whole body grow much more relaxed. The young master before him held the status of the Mo family’s Young Master! If he could climb this towering tree in the future, wouldn’t he soar to success? It would be far better than staying at the Seven Treasures Restaurant as a mere supervisor.
Mao Wen’s eyes flickered around.
Lowering his voice, he spoke again to Mo Wei, "Young Master Mo, there’s something else I think you should know!"
"Hmm?" Mo Wei narrowed his eyes slightly.
"This Gao Feng supposedly has a Daoist couple. However, no one knows where her Daoist couple is, and ever since she arrived at the Seven Treasures Restaurant, I’ve never seen her Daoist couple appear. The reason I can assert she has a Daoist couple is because she has a daughter who has always been with her."
"Her daughter rarely appears publicly but has always lived within the restaurant. I’ve seen her a few times; her looks can be considered top-notch in the entire All Paths World."
"I think Young Master Mo might have some interest." Mao Wen spoke lewdly.
This man was truly despicable and vile.
Mo Wei and the others initially didn’t know of Jing Dongxue’s existence. None among them had seen Jing Dongxue, nor did they know Gao Feng had a daughter with her. If Mao Wen hadn’t mentioned it, Mo Wei and his companions wouldn’t have known, at least not anytime soon.
And now...
"Oh?"
Sure enough, hearing Mao Wen’s words, Mo Wei showed an expression of interest, his smile widening as he nodded to Mao Wen.
"Mao Wen, you’re indeed impressive, very good! Hmm, where is the person you mentioned? Bring her out; if she truly satisfies me, I won’t let you go unrewarded." Mo Wei spoke to Mao Wen.
"Thank you, Young Master Mo! Gao Feng’s daughter is in a room upstairs in the restaurant; she’s always lived here. Young Master Mo, please wait a moment, I’ll bring her down and hand her over to you." Mao Wen said excitedly, his eyes shining.
"Mao Wen, you are shameless!" Gao Feng trembled with anger.
At this moment, she wished she could tear Mao Wen to pieces. In a furious shout, she gathered all her divine power to attempt to kill Mao Wen.
However, her strength was far surpassed by Mao Wen. As a martial artist of the True God realm, how could Mao Wen possibly be killed by her, an ordinary Void God?
Mao Wen disdainfully mobilized a slight amount of divine power and easily repelled Gao Feng.
"Gao Feng, you can’t blame me! I’ve warned you countless times, yet you never listened. Besides, following Young Master Mo along with your daughter isn’t a bad thing for you. You’ll surely thank me in the future!" Mao Wen spoke vilely.
Outside the Seven Treasures Restaurant.
Jing Yan stood at the door, his divine thought already permeated throughout the restaurant.
At this time, Jing Yan’s face was stormy and grim.
When his divine thought saw Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue, he was truly filled with joy. But the ensuing scenes filled his heart with killing intent, almost tangibly intense.
His gaze flickered with a chilling cold light.
Gripping his hand tightly, Jing Yan then stepped inside. At first glance, he saw Gao Feng among the crowd, his wife Gao Feng, filled with a desperate, helpless cry!
Jing Yan’s heart felt as if it had been viciously stabbed by a sharp dagger, the pain penetrating deep into his bones!
