Zheng Qiang was sitting in front of the pharmacy. He had heard the news of a superior level one celestial gene, but he did not bother with it.
At that moment, Liu Pian from the City Defense Barracks walked into the shop holding a list of pills and elixirs. He said, “Boss Zheng, bring out everything that you have on this list. You’ll be supplying us with all of this in the future.”
Zheng Qiang jumped up in surprise.
The City Defense Barracks consumed a lot of recovery medicines, so he had always wanted to do business with them, but General Liu Pian had always rejected it.
He did not expect Liu Pian to come in today. He looked at the list and exclaimed, “Yes, yes, yes! I have it all!” After saying that, he brought out a small black pouch filled with precious stones. He wanted to give it to Liu Pian.
“Ah, don’t worry about it.” The General was particularly courteous today. He even rejected the stones. He smiled and said, “Boss Zheng, I heard that your son-in-law has awakened a genius celestial gene!”
Liu Pian had come to curry favor today. The moment he heard that Ding Hao had awakened, he immediately remembered his marriage agreement with the Zhengs and rushed to suck up to the Zheng Family!
Zheng Qiang smiled and said, “General Liu Pian, you’re mistaken. My future son-in-law did not awaken a genius celestial gene. It was his brother that awakened!”
Liu Pian questioned, “His brother? That can’t be right! Don’t you have a marriage contract with the Ding Family? Ding Hao is an only child. I’ve never heard he had a brother.”
“Ding Hao?” Zheng Qiang laughed out loud. “General Liu Pian, you have it all wrong. Ding Hao is a complete piece of trash, the scum of the Ding Family! Don’t be blinded by his celestial seed. It will soon fall to the hands of my son-in-law!”
Liu Pian was dumbfounded, and asked, “Doesn’t your family have a marriage agreement with Ding Hao?”
Zheng Qiang had a look of contempt. “How could Ding Hao possibly be worthy of my Peipei?”
Just when he said that Ding Junjie and Zheng Peipei had finished their activities, and they walked out after putting on their clothes.
Zheng Qiang said, “Junjie, come quickly. This is General Liu Pian from the City Defense Barracks.”
Ding Junjie walked over, and Zheng Qiang smiled in satisfaction. “General Liu Pian, this is my son-in-law, Ding Junjie from the governor’s office!”
Liu Pian did not put a regular guard from the governor’s office in any regard, but he still had to make sure, so he asked, “Ding Junjie, did someone from your family awaken a genius celestial gene?”
Ding Junjie smiled and said, “General you are not wrong. It’s my brother Ding Juncai. He just awakened a genius celestial gene!”
Zheng Qiang smiled as he said, “General Liu Pian, don’t worry, your son and Ding Juncai can interact more in the future! It’ll help your son a lot!”
Liu Pian felt like something was wrong, so he asked again, “That genius that you’re talking about, do you mind if I ask what level his celestial gene is?”
Ding Junjie said, “It’s a level three celestial gene, but it’s quite strong. It’s almost level two…”
Before he could finish, Liu Pian snatched the list of medicines from the table and turned around to leave. “Getting so worked up over a level three celestial gene, what a joke!”
Zheng Qiang was still bewildered and shouted from behind, “General Liu Pian, about those medicines. You said I would be supplying the barracks…”
“Since your son-in-law isn’t Ding Hao, just forget what I said!”
Looking at Liu Pian leaving the pharmacy, Zheng Qian spat out, “He’s crazy! How could Ding Hao be a genius? He’s just a piece of trash!”
Ding Junjie said, “Calm down father-in-law. The piece of trash will be chased out of the Ding Family very soon. You two stay in the shop, I will go check things out at the governor’s office.”
He had not traveled far from the pharmacy when he saw Ding Hao walking over in the streets with some troops behind him.
Ding Junjie walked up and said, “Piece of trash, why are you here? Did the governor’s office already strip you of your celestial seed?”
The officer by the side walked up and shouted, “Criminal Ding Junjie! Your family has committed many evil deeds by constantly scheming against Ding Hao! The City Lord has conducted an investigation, and your parents have been publicly executed! You have been named a fugitive. Why haven’t you put down your weapon and surrendered?”
“What? You must be joking.” Ding Junjie was in shock, and he could only gape at the people in front of him. The City Lord’s officer was not joking at all.
Ding Hao looked at him and said, “Ding Junjie, listen clearly! I have awakened to a superior level one celestial root at the governor’s office! My spiritual energy was 20 meters tall! I have even gotten a celestial blessing, giving me the protection of Heaven’s Will! The end of your family has come!”
“What?! You have a superior level one? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Ding Junjie could not believe anything.
Ding Hao said, “What is impossible about that? Is it because of the Meridian Breaking Pill you gave me? Ah, City Lord Ling has already investigated everything and sentenced your parents to death! I’ve brought these people here to catch the father and daughter of the Zheng Family for making the pill. I did not expect to bump into you here. You are evil beyond redemption. It’s time for you to die!”
Ding Junjie’s eyes turned blood red, he clenched his teeth as he said, “Are my parents really dead?”
The officer said, “Idiot, the whole city saw them being beheaded, but you are still clueless.”
“Trash!” When Ding Junjie heard that his parents were dead, his hatred was uncontrollable. With a roar, he unsheathed his willow-leaf saber and dashed toward Ding Hao.
The troops were about to intercept, but Ding Hao stopped them. “Leave it to me!”
Boom!
Ding Junjie brought down his blade. A flash of light rained down in front of Ding Hao. The blade that was deflected.
The onlookers who saw that scene shouted, “It’s the celestial blessing! The protection of Heaven’s Will! Superior level one genius Ding Hao!”
Ding Junjie refused to believe it and continued to slash wildly. But how could a third rank Innate Stage like his breakthrough the protection of Heaven’s Will?
The city lord’s officer crossed his hands as he mocked, “Ding Junjie, save your strength. Ding Hao is a superior level one genius, the favored son of Heaven’s Will. Wouldn’t it be a joke if you could kill him?”
Ding Junjie’s hair was wild and disheveled. He was exhausted and battered. He cried out, “Heavens, how could this piece of trash awaken a superior level one celestial gene?! You are too cruel!”
“Heaven’s Will is always fair. I was bullied and harmed by your family, and today is your retribution! You’ve slashed me seven times, and I’m only going to punch you once! What more do you want?” Ding Hao said coldly. His hatred for Ding Junjie was extreme. He needed to punch this man at least once before the city lord sentenced him to death!
Ding Hao’s body moved, and he placed a ferocious punch right in Ding Junjie’s stomach!
Ding Hao unleashed all the remnants of spiritual energy left in his meridians with that punch! He had not used his spiritual energy on anyone since he gained them, so his ‘virgin fist’ was going to Ding Junjie!
Bam!
That punch sent Ding Junjie flying more than ten meters high. He struggled to even stand up. He spat out blood and spiritual energy. Ding Junjie’s face paled. He instantly knew that Ding Hao had destroyed his yuandan with that punch, turning him into a cripple!
“Piece of trash, you are too cruel!” Ding Junjie shouted in rage.
“You’ve called me a piece of trash for eight years. Now you are the trash! However, you won’t even be able to be trash. You’ll be dying soon!” Ding Hao’s gaze was imperious. Ding Laosi’s family had committed so many evil deeds, even death was not enough!
The soldiers then captured Ding Junjie in chains, but they did not head back right away. Instead, they walked toward the Zheng Family pharmacy.
When Ding Hao reached the entrance, Zheng Qiang and Zheng Peipei were coincidentally at the entrance.
When she saw her lover chained up and spitting blood, Zheng Peipei’s eyes widened, and she shouted, “Piece of trash, what are you doing?!”
Ding Hao laughed out loud, “Piece of trash, you’re still calling me trash. That title has already changed hands! I have destroyed Ding Junjie’s yuandan, and he has fallen from the Innate Stage and is now actually trash!”
“What?” When Zheng Qiang heard that, he almost fainted. He originally felt that Ding Junjie’s level six celestial root and position in public service were good conditions for his daughter. However, now he had been rendered a cripple by Ding Hao.
Zheng Qiang did not understand how Ding Hao could have the strength to defeat Ding Junjie, nor did he understand why an officer from the City Lord’s Residence was accompanying him.
Just as he was about to ask about that, Zheng Peipei opened her mouth first.
Her expression was dark as she said, “Ding Hao, everything you do here is useless! The one I love is Junjie. Even if you killed him I wouldn’t marry you! I’ll tell you straight up, I already belong to Junjie!”
Hearing what she said, the officer at the side could not help but laugh mockingly, “Why would master Ding Hao be interested in used goods like you? Are you joking? This is too funny!” After saying that, his expression turned serious, and said, “Ding Hao has immense potential and has awakened a superior level one celestial gene! He has even gotten the blessing of the Dancing Goddess, bestowing him with the protection of Heaven’s Will. No one can harm him as long as he is within Heaven’s Will! Which woman in Wuzhou City would not want to marry a genius like master Ding Hao? What do you even amount to? You’re really dreaming, trying to punch over your own weight. Why don’t you go measure your own worth first?”
“What? Superior level one genius! Celestial blessing!” Zheng Qiang almost bit his own tongue. In his mind, Ding Hao was always a piece of trash. He was the biggest piece of trash! How could he suddenly turn into a genius?
Zheng Peipei was also shocked. She had always been very proud and felt that a marriage with Ding Hao was beneath her. She felt that Ding Hao was an ugly and rotten toad.
She always accused Ding Hao of being a toad that wanted to have a swan, but now the roles have changed. She was the toad now.
That was how it was. In front of a superior level one celestial gene, anyone would be a toad.
“Son-in-law, congratulations, I really did not expect that you could awaken a superior level one celestial gene. This really is a happy occasion!”‘The bast*rd Zheng Qiang was quick on his feet, and immediately changed his tone.’ He laughed and said, “Beloved son-in-law, come in quick. Let’s enjoy our relationship as in-laws.”
“Relationship as in-laws?” Ding Hao could not help but laugh. “Was making Meridian Breaking Pills for me part of our relationship? Was making soup from Meridian Closing Grass and Soul Disrupting Roots for me part of that relationship? This relationship is really unforgettable. How could I not repay it!”
Zheng Qiang now understood why Ding Hao was here, and he was in shock. He hurriedly pushed Zheng Peipei forward, urging her to speak.
Zheng Peipei was still trying to process the change in her standing and was trying to find her footing. Following her father’s prompt, she more or less understood.
She had the eyes of a dead fish as she said, “Ding Hao, let’s forget about what happened in the past! We have a marriage agreement! I’ll just marry you!”
