Chapter 160: No Brother Needed, But a Son-in-Law
byChapter 160: Not Short of Brothers, but in Need of a Son-in-Law
"I knew it!" Fantasi said excitedly, "I told Mo Tong about it, but he didn't believe me!"
"Damn, you really get me!" Old Wang immediately gave him a thumbs up, "How about another round?"
Old Wang's dorm was never short of alcohol. Proper fifteen-year-old Highland Warrior, delivered by Tai Kun in cases. In the end, they did drink again.
There was something Old Wang had always wanted to say: cherish your life and stay away from green tea.
But as the saying goes, even an honest official finds it hard to mediate family affairs. If Axi understood, there would be no need to say anything. If not, words would be futile.
Old Wang consciously brought up women, but didn’t mention Rachel. He only talked about Famier, what he had heard from Su Yue.
She’s a good girl, with a great figure and excellent grades. She has a strong moral compass, comes from a strict family, and has a relative who is the head of the Institute of Potions. Apart from her poor eyesight and wearing glasses, everything else is perfect.
Of course, Kela is also quite nice. She’s tough on the outside but soft on the inside, genuinely kind-hearted, and considers others. Not to mention, the name 'Kela' means an incredibly pure maiden in the Beastman world.
In short, men shouldn’t just listen to their little brothers. Both of these girls are a million times better than Rachel.
Old Wang went on praising them. As a brother, this was all he could do. Saying too much would be counterproductive. Whether Fantasi would listen or how he would choose was his own business.
They drank almost all night. Fantasi was completely drunk, sprawled on the sofa, while Old Wang became sober.
The cold wind blew through the window. Old Wang got up to close it and casually grabbed a blanket to cover the fat guy.
Fantasi slept soundly on the sofa. Suddenly, Old Wang felt like having a cigarette, but after feeling his empty pockets, he remembered he wasn’t on Earth.
In the quiet night, listening to the loud snoring from the sofa, Old Wang felt a bit reluctant. In the six months here, he had spoken more than in ten years on Earth. And then there was Axi Ba. The people here were different from those back home.
But he wasn’t one of them.
...
After taking care of Fantasi and seeing Karida's attitude change, Old Wang didn’t rush to leave. Since he was leaving, he decided to make some arrangements.
There was an indescribable feeling, a sense of nostalgia. After living here for so long and experiencing so many things, life had been more exciting than a movie. Old Wang suddenly realized that he wasn’t as decisive as he thought.
Indeed, everyone has weaknesses. His weakness was being too emotional and loyal. As they say, a man with such integrity is rare in the world...
He decided to fulfill a promise.
At the Beastman bar on Changmao Street, this time he brought Winnie alone.
To be honest, Winnie used to have no particular feelings towards Beastmen, nor any interest.
But since coming to Rose and joining Old Wang's team, interacting with Kela and Wu Di, especially when Old Wang and even Hei Wukai constantly talked about the lively atmosphere at the Beastman bars, Winnie began to develop curiosity about Beastman bar culture. However, every time they went to a Beastman bar, Old Wang and the others would exclude her and Kela, claiming it was a men’s event.
This annoyed Winnie, but she couldn’t bring herself to beg Wang Feng. During the victory banquet, she finally got to go once, but it was disappointing. Old Wang said it wasn’t a real Beastman bar, which made her even more frustrated. She vowed that Wang Feng must take her to a real one, or she’d break his lock a hundred times.
She thought it would take a long time for Old Wang to keep this promise, but surprisingly, it happened quickly.
At the Silver Bar, dressed as a cute little boy, Winnie stared wide-eyed at the Beastmen performing on stage...
"What the hell, Wang Feng, are you looking down on me?" Winnie was annoyed, "You promised to take me to a real Beastman bar. Didn’t you say there are women in skimpy outfits? I came here to broaden my horizons, and you’re just showing me this? This music sounds like mourning! I want to see strippers!"
Old Wang nearly choked. What was going on in this young girl’s mind?
"That’s a brothel, not a bar," Old Wang worried. They were all problem children; none in his team were easy to handle. Once he left, these unruly guys might get beaten up by Karida: "This is authentic Beastman bar culture! Let me tell you, Captain knows this culture well. Drinking, chatting, singing, and playing instruments, I’m proficient in all of them! The Beastmen here respect me. If you want to experience Beastman culture, follow Captain’s lead!"
"If Hei Wukai said it, I might believe it, but you?" Winnie rolled her eyes but sat down, grabbing a bottle of Warrior: "Captain Wang, stop bragging. Prove it by drinking a bottle with me!"
"Slow down, you can’t handle strong liquor!" Old Wang quickly intervened. At the victory banquet two days ago, he had to carry her back. She had a small stomach but a big mouth: "Also, Winnie, we’re so familiar now. Call me Oppa!"
"Oppa? What’s that, some gibberish?"
"Oppa is a term used in our hometown, a way for women to address men."
Winnie glanced at Wang Feng, "Given your personality, you’re trying to take advantage of me, right? It’s not 'darling,' is it? You seem to prefer mature women with a masochistic streak, right? Karida is your type, isn’t she? Not mistress, because although you’re cheap, you’re not despicable. Otherwise, it means 'brother,' right?"
Wang Feng looked at Winnie, ...
"Stop staring, if I guessed right, drink a cup, don’t chicken out!"
Wang Feng drank a cup, but Winnie wasn’t satisfied, "Finish it, are you raising fish? Hurry up!"
Wang Feng had no choice. Was this girl deprived of alcohol for eight generations? He finished the drink and was immediately refilled, "Want me to be your brother? Drink ten first, then we’ll talk."
"Captain, how can you measure strength by drinking capacity? With me around, you can enjoy this place."
"You protect me? More like I protect you!" Winnie laughed, thinking she was naive. The Beastmen on Changmao Street were tough, forming gangs and not giving anyone face: "Old Wang, you’re full of hot air!"
"Winnie, you don’t know how lucky you are!" Old Wang sighed, "You should ask around. Many people beg to be my followers, but I don’t even look at them. Now I’m offering to be your brother for free, and you’re not interested!"
"Hmph, do I look like someone who needs a brother? My old man is a breeding pig, gave birth to eight older brothers, all male..." She was talking animatedly, then paused, remembering something unpleasant, "Forget it, let’s not talk about those losers!"
Old Wang felt a pang of sympathy. Eight Li family brothers-in-law would be a handful for Winnie’s boyfriend.
"Let’s not talk about that," Winnie coughed, a question had been bothering her for a while, "But you have to tell me, how did you get Jiaobaoba to listen to you?"
Old Wang looked around, "This is the first time I’m revealing this secret. I’m actually a god!"
Pfft~~~
Wang Feng wiped the spilt alcohol off his face, "Do you have to be so excited?"
"Punchable!" Winnie waved her small fist, annoyed, but then smiled, "But you’re not bad, your personality suits me. If you were a bit more handsome, I might consider you, maybe even marry you as a son-in-law."
"What kind of talk is that?" Old Wang laughed. Now he had an identity, given by Karida: "I’m from a loyal family in the League of Blades. Do you know Lan Tian? He’s my cousin. How could I be a son-in-law?"
"I just said it's possible that I might take a liking to you... which means I haven't yet!" Winnie rolled her eyes at him. "You really think you can open a dye shop with just a little color. Where do you get your confidence?"
Old Wang chuckled and said, "Don't set the bar so high. Actually, it could be a good start for practice. It would be entirely beneficial for you, what a great opportunity!"
"You have a point there! I've never done this before!" Winnie's eyes suddenly sparkled with enthusiasm. "Then let's start this unforgettable relationship right now! Should we start with a kiss? Come on, let me give you one!"
What kind of demon is living inside this girl?
Old Wang was both amused and exasperated. If it were Brother Da making these jokes, Old Wang might have gone for it, but Winnie... she's still a child!
"Brothers in arms, five champions... Wang Feng, it's your turn to drink!"
Winnie got drunk again; her tolerance was really not that great. On the way back, she was slung over Old Wang's back, grabbing his ear with one hand and mumbling the drinking chants she had just learned from Old Wang.
Old Wang shook his back. "Show some respect, call me brother!"
"Hehe, you're not. Wang Feng, listen, call me sister, and I'll look out for you!"
Winnie yelled and grabbed Old Wang's ear, but soon she went quiet.
"Hey? Hey?" Old Wang called out twice and then felt her even breathing.
Asleep?
Old Wang smiled and adjusted her position on his shoulder.
Contrary to the outside world's evaluation, Old Wang thought she was just a stubborn and willful girl with a strong desire to break free from the Li family's label and prove herself.
