Chapter 103: The Twin Forms of Tiger and Crane
“Do you know how to dance?”
Zhao Feng shook his head.
“I’ll teach you!” Li Dan said playfully.
Zhao Feng felt a bit embarrassed. “Maybe I’d better not.”
Li Dan rolled her eyes. “Are you scared?”
Zhao Feng’s face flushed. “Me? Scared?”
Since regaining her appearance, Li Dan had become more confident—and even more charming.
She was a gentle woman, with the look of a refined lady from ancient times, bearing a striking resemblance to Zhao Feng’s senior sister.
To be honest, at first, Zhao Feng didn’t want to get close to Li Dan again, fearing he couldn’t control himself.
But now, things were different.
Zhao Feng had adjusted his mindset. When facing Li Dan, he treated her like a close friend—calm and ordinary.
Li Dan grabbed Zhao Feng’s large hand. “Come on! Let’s dance! Don’t be so gloomy!”
Since recovering her looks, Li Dan had begun socializing, no longer the dull person she once was.
Unable to resist her coaxing, Zhao Feng stood up with her.
They moved to the center of the ballroom and began to dance the cha-cha to the music.
“Put your hand here!” Li Dan gently placed Zhao Feng’s right arm around her waist.
His broad palm resting on her waist made Li Dan shiver, as if electrified.
Feeling Li Dan’s slender waist—no thicker than a gentle grasp, with no trace of flesh, soft as cotton—Zhao Feng exhaled sharply and quickly focused his breathing.
Soft music played as the two danced lightly.
Zhao Feng stood about a head taller than Li Dan; she reached only his chest, looking petite and adorable.
Though Li Dan was quite tall herself, Zhao Feng’s towering, handsome presence overshadowed her.
“Step left!”
Like a toddler just learning to walk, Zhao Feng hurried to step left.
Seeing his clumsy movements, Li Dan giggled.
“Right foot!”
“Good! Very good!”
Gradually, Zhao Feng began to get the hang of it.
The two moved gracefully with the music.
Gentle classical melodies floated as couples in elegant attire danced around the ballroom.
Zhao Feng, however, was an anomaly.
He wore gray linen pants and an orange T-shirt.
Though stylish in his own way, he looked out of place among the others.
People nearby cast curious glances, whispering and pointing at him.
“Who are those two?”
“Yeah! From which family?”
“What socialite are they?”
“Is that guy a second-generation rich kid?”
“I don’t know about the guy, but that girl is the princess of the Li family.”
“What? The Li family? The overlords of the city?”
“Exactly! The very Li family!”
“Why haven’t I heard of her before?”
“Me neither!”
“Ah, you don’t know? That’s Li Dan—the most beautiful woman in the city back in the day!”
“Why ‘back in the day’?”
“Hmph! Because she was disfigured before!”
“Disfigured?!”
“Yeah.”
“How did she recover?”
“Simple—plastic surgery!”
*Ha ha ha!*
*Heh heh heh!*
Hearing the murmurs, Li Dan’s face grew pale.
Zhao Feng wrapped an arm around her waist and softly said, “Want me to teach them a lesson?”
Li Dan shook her head. “No need. Since I’ve chosen to return to life, I have to bear this sooner or later.”
“Alright!” Zhao Feng smiled. “You truly are a woman of great determination.”
“Heh heh heh! How do I compare to your senior sister?” Li Dan teased.
Zhao Feng’s handsome face grew serious. “My senior sister is one of a kind.”
Li Dan’s eyes darkened slightly.
Zhao Feng forced a stiff smile. “But you’re unique too. There’s no comparison.”
Li Dan quickly regained her composure and smiled mischievously. “Then I’ll take that as a compliment!”
*Heh heh heh!*
*Ha ha ha!*
They shared a knowing laugh.
Soft music played as handsome men and beautiful women twirled in pairs.
Suddenly, the music stopped.
Everyone froze and turned to look.
A tall, handsome man stood not far away.
He had unplugged the phonograph.
His expression was dark as his gaze swept through the crowd, resting on Zhao Feng.
“Let go of Li Dan!”
The man said coldly.
Zhao Feng frowned but ignored him, turning to Li Dan. “Who is he?”
Li Dan’s face turned pale.
She looked at Zhao Feng and whispered, “He’s my arranged fiancé.”
Zhao Feng held her tighter. “But didn’t you break off the engagement?”
Li Dan exhaled softly.
“He decided to stir things up after learning my face healed.”
“What’s his name?” Zhao Feng asked.
“He’s called…”
Before Li Dan could finish, the man spoke.
“My name is He Yun.”
He Yun lifted his chin, arrogantly sizing Zhao Feng up through his nostrils.
Zhao Feng shook his head and scoffed. “I don’t have time to learn your name. Go back where you came from.”
“Hmph!”
He Yun sneered. “Don’t you know who rules this city?”
Zhao Feng smirked coldly. “I don’t care who rules it. If you mess with me, you won’t end well.”
“Heh!” He Yun laughed bitterly.
“You probably don’t know that the city’s three great families—the Liu, the He, and the Li—our He family is the largest!”
Zhao Feng shook his head, bored.
Waving his hand, he said, “Kid, I don’t have time for your childish jealousy. Go back where you came from.”
*Ha ha ha!*
At Zhao Feng’s words, the crowd erupted in laughter.
“Kid?! I never thought He Yun would be called that!”
“Oh my god, the famed He Yun of the He family being called ‘kid’!”
“Ha ha ha! This is a real city sensation.”
Hearing the mockery, He Yun’s face darkened.
He glared at Zhao Feng. “You whippersnapper, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Striking a fierce tiger-like pose, he growled.
The crowd gasped in surprise.
“I heard He Yun took a master to learn martial arts!”
“Is that the Tiger-Crane dual style?”
“Amazing! This trip wasn’t in vain—we’re going to see a fight!”
“Heh heh heh, martial arts are just for show; they’re useless!”
“Guys, putting aside martial arts, who do you think will win?”
“No idea!”
Amid the chatter, He Yun grew confident.
He extended a clawed hand. “Kid, let me show you the power of my Tiger-Crane dual style!”
Zhao Feng rolled his eyes inwardly.
Tiger-Crane dual style, my foot—he isn’t even a first-level martial artist.
Zhao Feng didn’t mind playing along.
He extended his right hand and beckoned with a finger.
