Killing a Man is But a Head on the Ground, Words are What Truly Pierce the Heart

Ron had still underestimated this old driver Rayleigh. This move was truly foot on the gas, a storm on the highway!

Seeing Ron unable to find a better retort, Rayleigh assumed the posture of a victor:

"Kid, you're still too young. There are some things that only older people like me understand."

Ron secretly cursed him in his mind, then retorted:

"Don't use your weakness to doubt my strength. Do you know what 'one step to the stomach' is?"

Rayleigh's face suddenly darkened. He wanted to retort, but couldn't argue against Ron's words, which were all true, so he had to swallow a bitter pill...

Just then, the tavern's main door was flung open, and a figure flew in from outside.

It was Little Black Tiger...

Seeing him about to crash into the bar, Shendu, with his hands clasped behind his back, caught him and held him in his arms.

Their eyes met, and Little Black Tiger almost vomited when he saw Shendu's face. But he still managed to suppress it, saying in a deep voice:

"Boss, don't mind him, my father is here; he has a bit of a hot temper."

As soon as he finished speaking, a tiger wearing a purple robe, with his hands clasped behind his back, slowly walked in.

This tiger was Little Black Tiger's father, Black Tiger King! The Demon Sect Leader, whose martial arts were unparalleled in the world!

These past few days, Little Black Tiger had been doggedly pursuing Blue Rabbit, and Black Tiger King truly couldn't stand it. After a severe beating, Little Black Tiger confessed that Ron and someone named Tokikake had taught him to do it.

Therefore, Black Tiger King came here to demand an explanation.

Then... just as Black Tiger King was about to start cursing, he saw Shendu and his son, the two sisters Kayle, Pluton, and a group of other great experts silently watching him.

Although Black Tiger King was not afraid, under the terrifying killing intent that was both present and absent, he still had to reluctantly swallow back the words on his tongue.

Seeing this, Little Black Tiger let out a sigh of relief. If his father had cursed earlier, it was likely that the entire Demon Sect would be throwing a celebratory feast tomorrow.

"You are Ron, aren't you?"

Black Tiger King walked to the bar and sat down. After sensing the killing intent from earlier, his tone also became much gentler.

Ron nodded: "That's right, welcome, Mr. Black Tiger King."

Having said that, Black Tiger King slapped Little Black Tiger's head and scolded:

"Rebellious son! Boss Ron isn't as unbearable as you said, is he? What if this old man and he fought?"

Little Black Tiger said with a wronged expression:

"Father, didn't you say you wanted to punish the one who taught me to pursue Blue Rabbit..."

Before he could finish speaking, Black Tiger King gave him another slap. This time, Black Tiger King used three parts of his strength.

Following a crisp "smack," Little Black Tiger's body spun twice in place before he barely managed to stop.

"Rebellious son, stop talking nonsense!" Black Tiger King glared, then immediately smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, please excuse us. This rebellious son of mine has gone a bit mad these past few days, please forgive him, forgive him."

Hearing this, everyone also chuckled and shook their heads.

He truly is a master. So quick to change face! And he even used his son as a human shield...

If he hadn't emitted killing intent earlier, there would probably have been a big fight by now.

However, Shendu glanced at Little Black Tiger, who had been disciplined into obedience by Black Tiger King, then looked at his own foolish son beside him, and couldn't help but show envy.

Hmm... I must exchange experiences later!

At this moment, Tohru also brought a bottle of Maotai and placed it in front of Black Tiger King and his son:

"Your wine, please enjoy it at your leisure."

"Hmm." Black Tiger King nodded, opened the bottle, and took a large gulp.

Gulp...

As a mouthful of wine slid down his throat, feeling the distinctive sauce aroma of Maotai and the pungent taste of alcohol, Black Tiger King couldn't help but sigh in relief in his heart.

Fortunately, he was quick-witted earlier. Otherwise, he might have died a gruesome death by now.

After thinking, Black Tiger King asked: "Boss, what do you say, what should a tiger do if he suffers from lovesickness? Without Blue Rabbit, he can't start a family!"

Ron thought for a moment and slowly said:

"Actually, it's very simple. You need two liang of Jiu Ye Chong Lou, one Dong Zhi Can Yong, brew and drink after the New Year, it can cure worldly sorrows."

Beside him, Rayleigh's eyes widened upon hearing this. Was this the same brat who was racing with him just now? How did he become so cultured?

Compared to Rayleigh's surprise, Little Black Tiger said with a bitter smile:

"Boss... No silkworms in winter, snow melts without waiting for the New Year, worldly lovesickness has no cure!"

Ron chuckled: "You already know, so why bother painstakingly pursuing Blue Rabbit? Aren't you just seeking suffering?"

Little Black Tiger sighed:

"She considers herself of the righteous faction, while my father and I are of the evil faction. Righteous and evil are different; we cannot be together. But... I truly like her! I like her for valuing loyalty and righteousness, I like her for being steadfast and unyielding. Especially that startlingly beautiful frown when she saved me; I'm afraid I'll never forget it in this lifetime."

Black Tiger King, hearing this, couldn't help but secretly sigh.

It's over. This son is a lost cause. After being in seclusion for over ten years, he went out and met a female rabbit and couldn't pull himself away.

Immediately afterward, Black Tiger King began to question him repeatedly:

"When you miss her, who is she thinking of in her heart?"

"When your enemies kneel begging for mercy, before whom is she kneeling?"

"When she is cold to you, whose heart is she warming?"

Little Black Tiger, upon hearing this, instantly froze in place, his eyes blank, remaining silent for a long time.

Black Tiger King's voice was soft, but every word was like a blade, powerfully piercing Little Black Tiger's heart.

The other guests in the tavern also gaped.

Too cruel. These words were too harsh for a true simp!

Killing a man is but a head on the ground; words are what truly pierce the heart...

Truly worthy of being his biological father!

In fact, Black Tiger King couldn't be blamed. Tell me, what father would want to see his son constantly acting like a simp? And that woman always wants to kill him!

If he didn't speak like this, Little Black Tiger would never forget Blue Rabbit.

A long time later.

From noon until night fell, from when the tavern was packed with guests until only Black Tiger King and his son remained.

Throughout that time, Little Black Tiger didn't say a word, didn't drink a drop of water, his mind constantly echoing his father's words.

Just as Ron was about to close the door, Little Black Tiger finally came to his senses, choking out: "Father, let's go home."

Black Tiger King slowly stood up, first nodding to Ron, then taking his son's hand and walking out of the tavern.

In that moment, Little Black Tiger's once straight back became slightly hunched, as if his spine had been removed, looking utterly desolate...

"It seems that the simp Little Black Tiger has truly given up on love," Ron sighed softly, then also walked out of the tavern and closed the door.

Now, Saint Roswald's gathering must be about to begin. Ron also wanted to see how Xiao Zi Zai and Jack the Butcher would carry out their assassination.
