Tomb Raider: Call Me Dragon Vein Cleaner

Chapter 59 Irresistible Charm

After finishing their drinks, the group, reeking of alcohol, walked out of the room arm in arm.

Ada's home is not far from the entrance to the village, and it took them a while to walk there.

By this time, Cheng Feng and the others had almost finished eating, and Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling were helping Huo Ling clear away the dishes.

"Ada, come out quickly."

"We and the young clan leader have something to discuss with you."

There are rules in the village. If the owner doesn't agree, you can't just barge in even if the gate is open.

So they could only call Ada out from outside first.

Hearing the shouts outside, Ada came out of the door and glanced at the crowd whose faces were flushed.

Then he walked up to the young clan leader and asked:

"Zeva, what do you need me for?"

Zeva is the name of the young chieftain. The reason Ada doesn't call him the young chieftain is because Ada and Zeva are rivals.

Ada is one of the top contenders for the village chief position, and his reputation in the village is no less than that of Zewa, the young chief.

Zewa glanced at Ada's bamboo house and said loudly:

“We heard that you, Ada, let three outsiders stay overnight. We suspect there’s something wrong with them, so we’ve called them out.”

Ada smelled the alcohol on the group and sensed something was wrong, so he quickly said:

"Their stay was arranged with the consent of the old clan chief."

When Zewa saw that Ada was using his father to put him down, he felt a surge of resentment.

"How come I didn't know my father agreed to let outsiders live in the village? Either you let them out now, or..."

"Either we go to my father's place now and confront him."

No one else participated in the conversation between the two. Although they had drunk some alcohol, they were aware of their own status.

Compared to these two, they are not qualified.

Just then, Cheng Feng came out of the house, and Zewa and the others focused their attention on him.

After walking to Ada's side, Cheng Feng said calmly to Zeva and the others:

"I'm just a tourist staying at Ada's place. I don't know what you mean by saying we have a problem?"

As Cheng Feng spoke, Huo Ling and Chen Wenjin also came out of the house, with Kong Que following behind them, her eyes full of worry.

Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling's appearance immediately amazed the young people.

Zeva's eyes lit up when he saw Huo Ling, and after drinking some wine, some thoughts began to form in his mind.

Huo Ling was personally trained by Huo Xiangu, and she was a first-rate beauty in both appearance and figure.

Moreover, she possesses both the nobility of a young lady and the vivacity of a young girl.

Aside from Zhang Qiling, who's a blockhead, it's hard for anyone else not to like her.

“Zeva, they are just ordinary tourists, there is nothing wrong with them. If you want to confront the chieftain, I can go with you.”

Ada continued Cheng Feng's words and spoke to Zewa and the others.

Zeva reluctantly turned his gaze away from Huo Ling, then chuckled coldly and said, "I hope so. I'll go find my father now."

After saying that, Zeva turned around and left with his men.

After Zewa and the others had walked away, Ada said to Cheng Feng:

"Get some rest early tonight, and leave first thing tomorrow morning!"

Ada saw Zeva's expression and began to make some guesses.

However, to save face for his fellow villagers, he didn't say it directly.

However, he was determined to send Cheng Feng and the others away early tomorrow to avoid any unforeseen problems.

Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

After returning to the attic, Huo Ling leaned close to Cheng Feng and said:

"I felt that Zeva was looking at me strangely."

"I've noticed it too. Our Xiaoling is so charming. That young clan leader is staring at you like a head off."

Chen Wenjin joked.

She wasn't worried at all now, because it was already dark.

At night, even a modern army might not be able to get the better of Cheng Feng.

Having seen the Snake Mother, she knew very well that if Cheng Feng wanted, this village could become history in a single night.

"Sister Wenjin, I've noticed you've changed. You never used to tease me like this!"

Huo Ling pouted and looked at Chen Wenjin with resentment.

Cheng Feng patted Huo Ling on the shoulder and said:

"Don't worry, I'm here. Let alone a small mountain stronghold, I can even break two of the Heavenly King's teeth."

"You're just bragging. If the Heavenly King himself really came, you would have left the two of us behind and run away by yourself."

Huo Ling said this, but a smile secretly crept onto her lips; she was secretly pleased.

Meanwhile, Zeva returned home and let his brothers rest in the living room before going inside to find the old clan chief.

Upon seeing the old clan chief, Zewa knelt down with a thud.

The old patriarch frowned and asked:

"Zeva, what are you doing?"

"Father, I want to ask you for a favor, and I hope you will grant it."

After saying that, Zeva kowtowed to the ground and remained in that position without saying another word.

"Tell me what it is."

The old patriarch, fiddling with his thumb ring, asked the question without revealing his true feelings.

Zeva straightened his back, somewhat excited after hearing this, and said:

“Father, I’ve taken a fancy to a foreign woman who’s staying at Ada’s house today. I want to marry her.”

"Bastard!"

The old clan chief slammed his hand on the table.

"I will not agree to you marrying a foreigner. Go back to sleep right now."

Zeva was startled to see the old chieftain's anger, but fueled by alcohol, his rebellious streak resurfaced.

"Father, I'll listen to you on everything else, but please help me with this."

If you don't agree, I'll take some men and kidnap her myself.

After several rounds of arguing between the father and son, the old clan chief even said he would propose marriage to Ada, asking Peacock to marry him.

But Zeva refused them all, insisting on marrying Huo Ling.

Seeing his son's reddened eyes, the old clan chief had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

“That’s great, Father. I’ll take people to propose marriage tomorrow.”

Zeva excitedly stood up from the ground and said excitedly.

The old clan chief shook his head, feeling somewhat disappointed in his foolish son.

“Zeva, you underestimate Ada. By the time you go tomorrow, those outsiders will have already been sent away by Ada.”

"Then...should I take some men and bring them over now?"

Zeva said hesitantly.

The old clan chief stood up and said:

"You can't take them away like this."

After saying this, he walked to the wall, took down a bow from it, placed it in Zeva's hand, and continued:

"Give this to Zeva and tell him it's my order."

Zeva bowed deeply with both hands and said, "Father, thank you!"

The old patriarch waved his hand, then sighed and turned to walk into the inner room.

Zewa, holding the "imperial sword," led the group toward Ada's house with great pride and swagger.

Cheng Feng and his two companions were already resting. They planned to sneak away when no one was around in the middle of the night, so they didn't take off their outer clothes.

A few minutes later, Zeva and the others returned to Ada's house.

This time, instead of shouting randomly, they went up and knocked on the door.

A moment later, the door opened, and Ada saw Zeva and the others.

"Zeva, what are you doing here again?"
