《Heavenly Will》Chapter 20 - Su Fen's Killing Intent
Advertisement
It was obvious that this sight was not something new. The people around were laughing loud and shoot gloating looks at Su Fen as if they were watching a good show. Just the serving girls were looking at Su Fen with pity in their eyes.
“Haha, that’s why I come here, good wine goes too well with a good show!”
“Brother speaks right, even this wine won’t have the same flavor without this show anymore!”
“Ke ke, this brat Su Fen does’t learn, young boss Tao Lin had his eyes on young miss Xu Ya for some time now, yet this brat still has the guts to woo her.”
“Haha, let him have it, he can at least dream about it, young boss Tao Lin won’t let a woman he put his eyes on escape. Who in this Tianlong City dares to disregard the Bloodstone mercenaries. This brat Su Fen has just some pipe dreams. Even when he was beat by Tao Lin men the Su Clan didn’t make any move, it’s clear that they are afraid!”
“Ka, their young master was beaten time and time again but they didn’t dare to even fart at the Bloodstone mercenaries. It really makes you look down on them, this Su Clan it’s just a bunch of cowards. I guess a dog’s offspring is still a dog!”
The didn’t try to mask their voices so it soon reached Qing Yun and Su Fen’s ears. Even under those gloating words Su Fen didn’t wavered. His back was straight, his eyes shoot out an imposing light as he looked right at Tao Lin, his posture was as unmovable as a mountain. He didn’t have any intentions to back down in front of those people.
Behind him, Qing Yun nodded his head. There was no reason for them to back down here. Those people weren’t worth that much. Even those who mocked Su Fen earlier, it was obvious that they weren’t from those so called Bloodstone mercenaries, but they still thrown rock to Su Fen while he was down just to appease to this so called young boss.
Qing Yun despised those kind of people. They trow their weights around and do whatever they please but they’ll bow their heads without hesitation when someone stronger appears. He swept his eyes over them with a gaze full of ridicule. If they knew what great existence is behind the Su Clan they’ll probably start slapping themselves to seek forgiveness.

“Big Sister, Big Sister,” Qing Yun waved his hand to one of the serving girls, “This younger brother is new around here, would you be graceful enough to explain the enmity between those two to this younger brother?” His voice contained a very honest and innocent tone.
The serving girl who seemed a little older than Qing Yun was started. She looked at Qing Yun with some curiosity. Since she works in this kind of place she meet a lot of different people.There were some handsome men too but none as handsome as Qing Yun. She glanced in Qing Yun eyes that were like a bottomless well.
She was surprised to see that there was no ripple in his black eyes. Usually, young men that came here would look at the serving girls with lust in their eye, but this young man before her was different. Seeing his serene eyes, the girl’s curiosity grew even more. Although she was aware he used this kind of tone intentionally she couldn’t feel any wicked intention from him.
She covered her mouth with one hand and giggled tenderly, “Since this younger brother put it this way, how can I refuse.” She wiggled her sexy body to Qing Yun side and spoke close to his ear.
Once again, Qing Yun couldn’t help but raise a thumb to the patron of this place. Those girls are trained well and know how to attract customers. He smiled and looked at the girl, “Then I’ll have to trouble elder sister.”
The girl started at Qing Yun indifferent response but she still smiled an turned her head to Su Fen, “Young boss Tao Lin is the son of the Bloodstone mercenaries boss. They are a notorious bunch around here. He took a fancy to our young miss for some time now and even proclaimed to the whole Tianlong City that young miss was his woman.”
There was some irritation in the girl’s voice as she continued, “However our young miss wasn’t interested in him as she already had someone else. Tao Lin arrogance knows no bounds, he never expected that young miss would disregard him, when young miss turned him down he even tried to assault her.” At this point the irritation in the girls voice turned into disgust.

“Fortunately, young master Su Fen was close and stopped him. Back then their cultivation was similar, young master Su Fen was even a little stronger. If Tao Lin’s subordinates wouldn’t have intervened, he would have died under young master Su Fen’s furry.” The girl’s voice became gentler when she spoke of Su Fen, it seems she had a favorable opinion of him.
Qing Yun started, “Wait! Then, the one who your young miss likes is…”
“Hehe, indeed! It’s young master Su Fen!”
Qing Yun was baffled, “Then how come their families haven’t arranged a marriage yet? And why is this Tao Lin able to come here so brazenly after he tried to assault your young miss?” This was indeed peculiar. Qing Yun thought that Su Fen feelings were one sided, but if that’s not the case it shouldn’t be a problem for their family to marry them.
“Sigh, it’s because of young master Su Fen,” The girls shook her head helplessly, “Back then young miss parents and Su Clan wanted to take action against the Bloodstone mercenaries but they were stopped by him. He said he wanted to take care of this personally.”
Qing Yun started, he looked at the broad back of the young man who beamed with confidence, his eyes gained a new glimmer of respect for this imposing young man.
“Elder sister, this younger brother is still perplexed. I have a feeling that those Bloodstone mercenaries aren’t that strong. How come they can trow their weight around like this?”
The girl shoot a surprised look at Qing Yun, “Hehe, younger brother is right, by themselves the Bloodstone mercenaries aren’t that strong, but they have the Xiao Clan and Qing Clan as their backing.”
Qing Yun face darkened, “Xiao Clan and Qing Clan again?”
…
Tao Lin body shuddered under Su Fen Imposing look. Even if he was stronger now, that time when he was almost killed by Su Fen resulted in him forming a heart demon. If it wasn’t for the pill his father gave him, it wouldn’t have been possible to advance to the 5th layer.
Because of this his, hatred for Su Fen grew even more. He knew that if this heart demon won’t disappear his cultivation will stagnate at this level forever. He thought he could vent his anger by getting his men to beat Su Fen but it wasn’t that easy. Su Fen didn’t wavered and came back again and again. Tao Lin didn’t wish for nothing more than to kill Su Fen, if it wasn’t for his father warning him not to, he would have put his men to do it long time ago.
Thanks to the heart demon he developed a fear for Su Fen and couldn’t even take action personally against him.
Tao Lin face twisted as a savage smile was formed on it, “Su Fen! I’m gonna tell you one more time. Xu Ya is my woman, she’s not something a trash like you can touch. If it wasn’t for this young boss being generous, you would have died ten times already. I gonna give you ten breaths of time to get out of here.”
“Enough with this rubbish,” Su Fen disregarded Tao Lin words, “Tao Lin you animal, I’m gonna say it one more time. If you have the guts come out and fight me yourself if not then get the hell out of my face, I don’t have time for you!” Su Fen tone was domineering. It looked like he wanted to rip Tao Lin apart but he knew it would be impossible with his followers here.
Every time he thought back when Tao Lin tried to rape Xu Ya, his blood would surge with killing intent. He didn’t even wanted to think what would have happened if he wasn’t there.

Silvergates: Northworld (Book 1 complete)
Five years ago, the first Silvergate was found. At first, they called it a hoax. But since then, more and more people have entered the alternate dimension called Northworld, received their Interface, and going on to real adventures. As it gained momentum, they called it a problem. Now, they call it a crime. But for nearly a half a million people, it's now their real home. Yearning. Escape. Duty. The reasons to go are many. Despite the criminalization of the Silvergating, people still seek out their ticket to Northworld. But for new Gaters Jasper Hill, Erika Haglund, Henry Esteban, Northworld has surprises in store. Not every rumor are false, not every conspiracy theory is stupid. When the veil lift for them, showing truths about Northworld that no one suspected, they may have a hard time making themselves heard. And being trusted may mean the difference between life or exile forever. Northworld is a litrpg story where people enter an actual world, submit to an RPG-type Interface, and discover an alternate reality. You could describe it as a reversible Isekai since people alternate between Earth and Northworld. The characters are usually casual about it, which means casual talk and the not-infrequent profanity. Four letter words dropped in conversation (or internal monologue). Warning: one potentially horrible theme and one implied sex scene. Book 1 is complete, as the title says. Book 2 is expected to start in 2022 (hopefully).

The Animo Saga
Before history was well-recorded in the world of Ulakam, primordial animal spirits adopted humans, provided protection and developed deep spiritual connections with them. Millennia later, humans now host animal spirits and are split into tribes named for the species they host. Ulakam is slowly being consumed by a decades-long war pitting the main tribes against the smaller tribes and a group of bandits calling themselves "the resistance". Callida Animo was born into this world. Coming from a mixed family of generational soldiers, Callida joined the family business at a young age. In her words, she was practically bred, born, and raised to be a soldier. And she's good at what she does... which inevitably attracts attention that makes her unambitious self extremely uncomfortable. Love, loss, influence and growth. This is her story. Written episodically, this story focuses on relationships and character growth through a series of mini-arcs that connect to make a greater whole. (Honestly, the story would lend itself well to a TV series.) "Episodes" range from 3-7 chapters (at least so far), and average about 4 or 5 chapters. Author's note: I'm always thrilled to receive comments, follows, ratings/reviews, messages.... All forms of feedback are welcome and encouraged. However, I have no interest in begging readers for more engagement to get better visibility. I tried that with my last story and found the game soul-sucking. So! This constitutes my only self-promotion request. If you are reading this story, let me know what you think! I love engaging with my readers. We'll see if growing the readership organically is even possible. Thank you! 😘 Release schedule: Weekly on Wednesday afternoons
