Li Hang was furious and desperately wanted to curse Su Yan, calling him a useless pretty boy!
However, he was currently in someone else's house, and neighbors were looking on. He couldn't go too far and risk ruining his own refinement or affecting his high status.
After calming himself slightly, Li Hang looked at Su Yike with an air of composure and said, "Where are those Demons and Monsters you spoke of? I'll deal with them quickly to prevent any further trouble."
While speaking, Li Hang couldn't help but steal a glance at Su Yan, his eyes briefly flashing with provocation. It was as if he was saying: Did you see that? Trouble has come to your house! Your sister turned to me first! Not to you, her brother, who lives under the same roof! I'll just say it outright. You're a complete noob!
Su Yan felt Li Hang's provocative gaze and knew what he was trying to express. He just wants to show off his formidable power as a Semi-Advanced Level creature in front of me, to make me feel ashamed and question my life.
Su Yan simply smiled and said nothing, offering Li Hang no reaction.
It wasn't because I have the patience of a saint and couldn't be bothered to stoop to his level, he thought. Rather, I know that the one who'll be doubting his life later on definitely won't be me. It'll be Li Hang, that so-called Semi-Advanced Level creature. Because one of the two Solitary Ghosts outside the window has a Creature Level that's terrifyingly Advanced. And Advanced Level Beings are certainly not something a Semi-Advanced Level creature like Li Hang can provoke. In other words, Li Hang is surely about to embarrass himself. The more he boasts now, the bigger the disaster will be later.
Thinking of this, Su Yan couldn't help but look at Li Hang with a bit more pity.
Unfortunately, Li Hang, who was intent on showing off in front of everyone, was oblivious to all this. He was even radiating unwarranted self-confidence.
Demons and Monsters? What trash! I, Emperor Li Hang, can snap them out of existence with a flick of my fingers.
Soon, under everyone's watchful eyes, Li Hang set off alone. His steps exuded a fierce determination, and his aura was full of swagger, clearly not taking the Demons and Monsters seriously at all.
Throughout his high school years, Li Hang had studied a great deal about Demons and Monsters. Based on the different habits of various creatures, he knew very well which Demons and Monsters liked to bang on windows at night to scare people. I'm absolutely certain that the two Demons and Monsters outside the window are definitely Solitary Ghosts, low in both intelligence and attack power. Ordinarily, the Creature Level of Solitary Ghosts is quite low, at best Semi-Advanced Level. Of course, some reach Advanced Level, but they're extremely rare. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they're one in ten thousand. I definitely won't be so unlucky as to encounter an Advanced Level Solitary Ghost. I'm destined for greatness. Otherwise, I wouldn't have evolved into a Semi-Advanced Level creature at just 17.
"My grandson, Li Hang, has the makings of a Legendary figure!" Uncle Li started to boast, deliberately raising his voice so everyone would know it was his grandson. "He's just a 17-year-old kid, yet he can face Demons and Monsters alone and without fear. Our ancestors in heaven must be pleased; the Li family has finally produced someone noteworthy!"
The neighbors nearby, hearing this, chimed in with envious remarks:
"With Li Hang being such a talent, the Li family is sure to rise to prominence."
"Sigh, Uncle Li raised him well, bringing up such a promising grandson."
"Not like my useless son, who neither studies well nor makes much money."
"It really makes you feel inferior in comparison."
One woman's comments hit home for everyone.
Many of the uncles and aunties present were thinking: All these kids grew up in the same neighborhood, so how come only Li Hang turned out successful? It seems like it's all down to fate! Some people are just naturally clueless and don't try to improve. It's not because we parents haven't tried, or couldn't teach them. It's all their own fault for not understanding. It's no wonder we parents get the blame.
Seeing how envious everyone was, Uncle Li modestly said a few words: "No, no, I didn't teach him much. It's all Li Hang's own nature. He's ambitious and knows to strive for success. His becoming talented is only natural."
The woman who had spoken earlier, hearing this, felt even worse and couldn't help sighing, "Ah, that rascal of mine only knows how to infuriate me every day. Why is there such a big difference between people? I'm telling you, Su Yan, and also Chen Tao, Fang Zhibin, along with Liu Yaoyao and the others. You should all learn from Li Hang in the future. Don't be unambitious all day, only knowing how to play games like 'Chicken Attack Battleground' and 'Glory of the Dead.' When you have free time, read more books, train more, and strive to become someone useful to society."
Su Yan nodded perfunctorily and replied, "Mhm, mhm, mhm, yes, yes, yes, right, right, right."
And so, with everyone having had their say, it soon quieted down.
Afterward, everyone's gaze returned to Li Hang's receding figure.
Even Little Beans, huddled and shivering in the corner of the sofa, couldn't help but curiously peek out to watch the drama. She tried hard to open her big KAZALAN eyes, her expression a mixture of fear and curiosity. A subtle craving for food was also mixed in.
Ghost!? Fried!? Ghost + Fried = ...!? Fried Ghost!!!
Thinking this, Little Beans unconsciously wet her lips.
I've discovered an enormous secret! That is—ghosts! They're not scary at all. On the contrary, they're a delicious food! When I get stronger, I'm definitely going to make myself a big feast of Fried Ghosts...
Little Beans firmly decided in her heart.
At this moment, in the living room, aside from Little Beans who was initially terrified out of her wits, there was another coward present: the Mixed-blood Little Fairy. Right now, she was keeping as far away as possible, wishing she could just go home and hide. Demons and Monsters are so horrifying! I can't stand even hearing about them, let alone seeing them!
If Li Hang hadn't insisted on dragging her here to watch the spectacle, she wouldn't have come. Her personality was too soft, and she wasn't good at refusing others. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to join this commotion even if she possessed a hundred times more courage.
Apart from the onlookers in the room, Su Yan, who had just stepped back from the window, also fixed his gaze on Li Hang.
He was very curious. This afternoon, when I was still just on the verge of evolving into an Advanced Level Being, I already managed to kill an Advanced Level Fox Demon with a single blow, without breaking a sweat. So, what about Li Hang? He's also a Semi-Advanced Level creature. Can he do the same?
Thus, under everyone's watchful eyes, Li Hang walked alone to the window. His expression was very calm, with no trace of panic in his eyes. He simply reached out and lifted a corner of the curtain.
Then, in the next moment, the smaller Solitary Ghost, Xiao Hanhan, appeared before everyone, looking all alone and utterly clueless.
"That's it?" Li Hang couldn't help but laugh.
A Solitary Ghost this tiny is, at best, an Ordinary Level creature. Daring to bump into windows and scare people in the middle of the night? It must be asking for a beating.
