Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Scared by a Vicious Dog
After two years of scavenging, Li Fei suddenly executed a glorious reversal of fortune; destiny truly has a sense of humor—unattainable when sought after, yet favoring him with luck when he gave up! Hehe, dear Teacher Hato, here I come!
As Li Fei was daydreaming about one of Teacher Hato's masterpieces inside his unhealthy little mind, a Lincoln sedan swept into a garden-style villa like the wind. The luxuriously pointed rooftops, paired with the red and white wooden fences, appeared extraordinarily splendid under the sunlight. The path in front of the door was flanked by fragrant grass, and the garden was bordered by a man-made lake so clear that schools of fish could be seen swimming around—it felt like being in a dream!
Li Fei couldn't help but gaze in envy at the elegant and prestigious European-style villa before him, exclaiming, "Wow, so this beautiful mansion is your home! It must be very expensive and valuable, right?"
"Not expensive, just twenty million. This villa is just a school district house dad bought for Meimei. I'm just living here to take care of Meimei."
Li Fei's mouth gaped wide enough to fit a large pear! Holy crap, twenty million and that's not considered expensive? How much money does this girl have?
Ever since meeting the Su Sisters, Li Fei's worldview and life outlook were undergoing a revolutionary change!
"Currently, only Meimei and I live here, but starting today, you will also live here to ensure Meimei's safety!"
"No way!" Su Meimei protested, "Sister, I don't want to live with a bumpkin!"
"Dad has arranged it; I have to find you a personal bodyguard!"
"But he's a man, how can he live with us two girls?" Su Meimei objected. "We can't possibly let him sleep in Saihu's cage, right?"
"Of course not, there's an empty room next door!"
"What? Have him live next door to me?" Su Meimei cried out in protest.
"Yes, a personal bodyguard should indeed stay close at all times! It makes it easier for him to protect you! After all, dad has offended many people in business, and there are plenty waiting to harm you..."
"Alright, sister, stop scaring me, I agree!" But recalling how Li Fei sneakily eyed her before, Su Meimei became instantly upset. "But he always looks at me in such a lecherous way; I'm afraid he might sneak into my room in the middle of the night..."
"Cough cough!" Seeing this girl trying to tarnish his character, Li Fei quickly defended himself, "How could I possibly harass you, little Wanzi steam buns? I'm not interested in the slightest; if I were to harass anyone, it would be Manman, a beautiful and intelligent lady!"
"Hmph! Who says I'm not pretty?"
Su Meimei, her eyebrows furrowed in anger, retorted, "Go to Boduo College tomorrow and ask around; I am the top campus beauty there! Hmph, it's just your bad taste!"
"Is that so? Surely the boys there just have questionable taste!"
Unable to out-argue Li Fei, Su Meimei ran to her sister with a pout, tugging at Su Manman's hand and complaining, "Sister, look, he keeps bullying me; I don't want him as a bodyguard anymore!"
Su Manman glanced at her sister and then at Li Fei. Both were sixteen or seventeen-year-old kids, equally sharp-tongued and no easy characters to deal with—hard to say who was more to blame!
Besides, Li Fei had just inadvertently called her by her nickname, Manman, and even complimented her as an intelligent beauty. What woman doesn't like to be praised? Even a seemingly cold and aloof CEO like Su Manman was inwardly pleased!
Thus, rather uncharacteristically, Su Manman did not side with her sister, even leaning somewhat toward Li Fei as she said in a conciliatory tone, "Meimei, stop making a fuss."
Li Fei, taking advantage of the situation, smirked at Su Meimei, "Do you think I'm eager to be your bodyguard? If it weren't for Manman's sake, I wouldn't stay here. You think your place is great? To me, it's not even as comforting as sleeping in a garbage recycling station!"
Su Meimei gritted her teeth in anger. This bastard actually dared to say that a mansion worth twenty million was no better than a stinky dump—outrageous!
Meanwhile, Su Manman was still contemplating the fact that Li Fei had called her by her nickname, Manman: "Li Fei, please call me Su Manman from now on!"
"Oh, sure, Manman."
…
"Hmph, watch how I deal with you!" Su Meimei, her eyes glistening with tears, stormed off angrily, only to quickly return, holding a thick rope—oh crap, it was a formidable Northeastern hunting dog, probably the 'Saihu' mentioned before!
This was a big fellow, weighing over a hundred pounds and nearly two meters long, its ears standing erect, covered in golden fur, with a fierce gaze, its huge mouth open exposing a red tongue and rows of sharp teeth gleaming in the sunlight!
Damn, this girl is ruthless! Locking the door and letting the dog loose on me!
Watching Li Fei slightly showing a frightened expression, Su Meimei felt a surge of triumph, regaining her ground—see if he dares to act arrogant in front of this young lady again!
"Hmph, if you don't want your behind savagely bitten, scram!" the capricious Second Miss Su shouted.
But just as Li Fei hesitated about stepping back, the voice of the Evil God permeated inside a slingshot, "Kid, don't mind her, just let the dog come, it's just a dog, no worries!"
"Worry about what, it's me it's biting, not you!"
"Kid, you should show respect when talking to an elder. Didn't your parents teach you any manners?"
"Damn, I've never even seen my parents; I popped out of a rock!"
"Okay, you're tough! You know I can't physically bite you! But, let me tell you, I'm a Supreme of the Dragon Clan, a supreme ruler of all animals on earth. Not just any wolf-dog, even if it were a tiger or lion, as soon as it gets close to me, it would feel my power, my spiritual energy will make it cower in fear. It wouldn't dare bite you, and even if you bit it]!=' it wouldn't dare bite you back!"
"Oh come on, you're insane, asking me to bite a dog!"
While Li Fei was whispering to the Evil God, the wolf-dog Su Meimei was holding perceived a stranger and instantly showed hostility, breaking free from its leash, and lunged at Li Fei with bared teeth!
"Saihu! Come back!"
Su Meimei also jumped in fright; she had only intended to prank Li Fei to regain her pride, not to harm him. However, the Northeastern dog, being fierce and aggressively temperamental by nature, immediately charged at the newcomer.
"Ah…" Su Meimei, terrified, dropped the leash and covered her eyes with her hands, imagining the gruesome scene that would surely follow: Li Fei being torn to shreds, lying in a pool of blood...
Even the usually composed and elegant ice queen, Su Manman, couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand. But, the next second, an unbelievable scenario unfolded.
The wolf-dog, just a meter away from Li Fei, suddenly halted as if by some ghostly force, then looked horrifically at Li Fei, its body trembling, each step retreating backward, its eyes filled only with fear!
With a thud, Saihu actually prostrated itself before Li Fei, like a submissive Pug bowing in front of its master, and it was unmistakably evident that it had wet itself.
It had actually been scared to pee by Li Fei! What was going on?
"Saihu…"
