I Am Overlord Chapter 657: Reunion with the Villains

Chapter 657: Reunion with the Villains

Xiang Shaoyun shivered when he heard the new voice, and he immediately focused his gaze at the restaurant's entrance. A short, thin, ugly man appeared there. He was none other than Ugly Gambler of the Seven Villains.
"Where did this ugly man come from? The sight of him disgusts me," scolded the man waiting outside for Xiang Shaoyun.
"You talking about me?" Ugly Gambler looked over and asked.
The man fearlessly pointed at Ugly Gambler and scolded, "Who else if not you? It's not your fault for being born ugly, but your fault lies in the fact that you are actually roaming around, scaring others with your ugly face!"
The man had quite a sharp tongue, but he did not seem to understand that a loose tongue might cause a lot of trouble. Xiang Shaoyun looked at that man with pity as he thought, Truly courageous.
"Impressive. You actually have the guts to call me ugly right to my face," said Ugly Gambler, his eyes gleaming.
"Get out of my face right this moment, or I will slaughter you right where you sand," said the man as he brandished his scarred arms.
The words had barely left his mouth when Ugly Gambler's fingers appeared around his neck. The man didn't even see Ugly Gambler move, and a chill crept up his spine at that realization.
"Are you aware of how much your mouth stinks?" asked Ugly Gambler, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
The man pleaded with great difficulty, "D-don't kill—"
Crack!
A crisp sound rang out before he could finish his words. And just like that, he was killed. The people in the restaurant saw the happenings, and their pupils shrank. They had not expected the ugly newcomer to be so ruthless, and his revealed strength seemed immeasurably deep.
One ought to know that the man killed was a fourth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator. Someone like that had been killed like he was a puppy.
Meanwhile, Ugly Gambler behaved as if he had done something completely insignificant, and he casually strode into the restaurant. Since he had technically committed murder outside the restaurant, the people of the restaurant couldn't find an excuse to do anything to him either.
Ugly Gambler walked straight to Xiang Shaoyun and the beauty. Everyone in the restaurant wondered if the beauty had caught his attention. If that was the case, that pretty boy was probably in trouble.
"Lord Gambler, you're here? Please, take a seat!" Xiang Shaoyun stood up and greeted him.
Back then, he had promised Ugly Gambler to locate the divine site within three years. The period was not up, and thus, Ugly Gambler's appearance was completely unexpected. A smile that was uglier than a crying face formed on Ugly Gambler's face as Ugly Gambler replied, "I thought you would have forgotten about me already."
"How can that be? Lord Gambler is my benefactor!" fawned Xiang Shaoyun.
"Haha, it's good that you know that. Today, I shall drink with you. After that, I will try my hand at the local gambling dens. I will definitely make some great profits here!" said Ugly Gambler as he sat down, the same smile still on his face. He then looked at the beauty and said, "Jiaojiao, look at how pretty you are today! Are you trying to gobble up my young brother here?"
The beauty was none other than Yao Jiaojiao, the Myriad Face Consort of the Seven Villains. She would change her appearance almost every time she appeared. Even Xiang Shaoyun, who had met her before, couldn't immediately recognize her. She wasn't known as the Myriad Face Consort for no reason.
"Hehe, a handsome young man like this truly causes my heart to flutter. But you, Ugly Gambler, have ruined the fun," said Yao Jiaojiao as she giggled, her hand over her mouth.
Only someone like Yao Jiaojiao would have the guts to address the Ugly Gambler by his full title.
"Hear that, Xiang Shaoyun? This woman is a ruthless vixen even scarier than the Man-eating Mouth. You need to watch out," said Ugly Gambler.
"Lords, please stop teasing this kid. Come, let us drink! Waiter, serve the liquor!" Xiang Shaoyun said, his voice filled with passion.
"How can a drinking session begin without me?" another voice rang out.
A bald monk strode through the door. The monk had a wide smile on his face, looking incredibly genial. His appearance was a lie, however. He was Yuan Xiao of the Seven Villains, also known as Smiling Monk. Three of the Seven Villains had shown themselves.
Some of the people in the restaurant had been at the Bloodsin City before, and thus, they finally recognized the three. The Seven Villains had an infamous reputation, and with their strength, they were existences that struck fear in one's heart.
Xiang Shaoyun grumbled inwardly, Do these fellows have the nose of a dog? The moment the divine site's clues appeared, they're all here.
"Monk, I heard your beloved disciple had joined the Dragon Phoenix Academy as well. Why are you here instead of looking for your disciple?" questioned Ugly Gambler unhappily.
"Hehe, my disciple is not as obedient as your young brother. Even as his master, I failed to summon him out of the academy," said Smiling Monk with a bitter smile as he took a seat beside Ugly Gambler.
At this time, the waiter served them more food and liquor, and Xiang Shaoyun quickly assumed the job of an attendant as he poured each of them a glass of liquor. He did not have the courage to act up in front of these three. It was much better for him to cower before them.
He toasted them repeatedly, and the three villains downed every glass of liquor offered. As they drank, they talked and laughed, painting a harmonious picture. The three did not look like they were part of the Seven Villains at all.
Finally, when they were done drinking, Ugly Gambler grabbed Xiang Shaoyun's hand and said, "Enough drinking. Time to go."
He then dragged Xiang Shaoyun off without offering other explanations. However, Yao Jiaojiao grabbed Xiang Shaoyun's other hand and smiled. "Ugly Gambler, what are you doing? He is now my little boyfriend. You have to be gentle with him!"
Ugly Gambler's hand was exuding a power Xiang Shaoyun couldn't resist, but Yao Jiaojiao was doing the same as well, pushing Ugly Gambler's power off him. He was hit by a realization that he could no longer control his own body.
Inwardly, he smiled bitterly, Please don't tear my weak body apart.
"Fine, you can have him. We need to go. This is not the place to talk," said Ugly Gambler, unwilling to force the matter. He stood up and walked out of the restaurant.
"Haha, let's go. Everyone is staring at us," said Smiling Monk as he rubbed his bald head before standing up and walking off as well.
As for Yao Jiaojiao, she pulled at Xiang Shaoyun's hand and said coquettishly, "Come on, my beloved Young Master Xiang."
"Lord, you can't tease me like this!" said Xiang Shaoyun helplessly.
"Oh, why are you being all distant now? I have truly taken a liking for you. Don't even dream of escaping me," Yao Jiaojiao protested with the same coquettish tone.
Her plump bosom pressed against Xiang Shaoyun's arm, assaulting him with a comfortable sense of tenderness. If it wasn't for the fact that this woman was one of the Seven Villains, he would have probably pounced on her that instant.
