Chapter 303: The Affectionate Palm and the Flirtatious Knife
The King of Bandit Suppression knew deeply—This was the first test-task of his brand-new career.
It could only succeed; failure was not an option.
Not only did it have to succeed, but it also needed to be completed flawlessly!
This was the battle that would determine his combat capabilities; he must perfectly showcase his strength to the young master!
The King of Bandit Suppression hid in a position behind him, glancing left and right.
Just as Long Aotian was hesitating and unable to find the words, a sudden sinister wind blew from behind!
Whoosh—!
Long Aotian was a martial artist with extensive experience and unparalleled combat prowess!
Unfortunately, the adversary had a weapon.
And it was a sneak attack!
Instinctively, Long Aotian swung a palm backward, directly smashing a thorny frozen sea fish into pieces.
The sea fish shattered completely!
Thorns covered Long Aotian's hand, and blood stread down profusely.
And that was just the first move—the King of Bandit Suppression had more up his sleeve!
As the sea fish burst apart, the King of Bandit Suppression imdiately executed a grappling technique, seizing Long Aotian's throat and sealing his acupoint in one swift move. He followed it with a kick, sending Long Aotian flying off the cent platform.
Long Aotian crashed straight into a large fish tank.
Upon seeing his opponent's techniques, Long Aotian instantly realized they were no amateur.
The first thought flashing through his mind was: Could this guy be my contact?
Just as he opened his mouth to speak, the King of Bandit Suppression smashed a fathead fish onto his skull.
Buzz! Long Aotian felt his head buzzing, disoriented!
He tumbled back into the fish tank, which was cent-built and lined with tiles—smooth and slippery.
So, although Long Aotian fell in, he didn't break through the tank, but he was left dazed, with slippery hands and feet, gulping down water while the martial arts expert above him relentlessly struck him with the fathead fish...
Long Aotian couldn't climb out no matter how hard he tried.
Grabbing the edges of the cent platform, he attempted to lift himself. As soon as his head erged: "I am—"
Wham! The fathead fish smacked his head, sending him back down.
Then the fish started hamring his hands.
It hurt! Long Aotian couldn't bear it!
He floundered helplessly in the fish tank, utterly restless.
Erging again, he shouted angrily: "Stop it! I am—"
Wham!
Erging again: "Look clearly! I—"
Wham!
Erging yet again: "I'm an idiot!"
Wham!
Erging one more ti: "I really am an idiot..."
Wham!
anwhile, Luo Shiyin sat in a corner outside, watching the bustling crowd, overwheld by sorrow.
What am I even doing? Where is my life heading?
What is the aning of my existence?
Damn you, Lu Chengwen! Not only did you ruin , but you also humiliated like this...
Am I just... that kind of person to you?
Am I nothing more than a tool—a cheap woman you summon and dismiss at will?
Don't you know that people can feel heartache too?
Qi ishao walked up beside her. "Sister Shiyin."
"ishao." Luo Shiyin forced a bitter smile. "Has the young master made contact?"
"I don't know. I was worried about you, so I ca out to check."
"? I'm fine." Luo Shiyin lowered her head.
Qi ishao looked at her closely. "I saw you talking to Lu Chengwen earlier."
Luo Shiyin raised her head to et Qi ishao's gaze, unsure of what to say.
Qi ishao said, "Sister Shiyin, what are you thinking? Don't tell ... you've fallen for Lu Chengwen?"
"I haven't! I haven't, I really haven't... I..."
The more Luo Shiyin spoke, the less confident she sounded. Under Qi ishao's probing gaze, she slowly lowered her eyes. "I don't know."
Qi ishao said, "We all know that in this world, the strongest, most gifted, most intelligent, most handso person—the one destined to unite the world and beco a great sovereign—is none other than our young master!"
"Lu Chengwen is just an obstacle in our path, one that will inevitably be eliminated! Don't you already understand this?"
"Can we really... eliminate Lu Chengwen?"
"Of course!" Qi ishao was almost incredulous that Luo Shiyin would doubt this.
"Is there anything the young master can't accomplish? Na one!"
Luo Shiyin said, "That's not what I an. I just think... perhaps Lu Chengwen could beco an ally to the young master? Do we absolutely have to kill him?"
"Sister Shiyin, you're confused!" Qi ishao was panicked. "The young master is a rare genius, destined to be unparalleled in the future. Lu Chengwen has no prospects! You can't keep falling deeper and deeper!"
"But... I'm already... I'm already ruined..." Luo Shiyin bit her lip, tears streaming down her face.
"This isn't your fault! If anyone's to bla, it's Lu Chengwen!" Qi ishao said. "Once we kill him, everything will return to the right track."
"But... every ti we try to kill him, it ends..."
Qi ishao was about to respond when soone rushed in. "Hurry! There's a fight inside! It's intense!"
"What happened?"
"I don't know. So big guy is dunking a guy in a fish tank and beating him up with a fish. He's ruthless!"
"What's it about?"
"Not sure. Maybe over a loudspeaker or a fish-selling dispute. But it's crazy in there!"
Qi ishao and Luo Shiyin were startled and rushed inside to see.
Inside, the King of Bandit Suppression had already knocked Long Aotian unconscious.
He dragged him out, took a photo, and left, satisfied.
When the two won arrived, they were shocked—Long Aotian was in terrible shape!
His head was bleeding, covered in fish spines; his hands were swollen and pierced with more spines...
Qi ishao gritted her teeth. "Lu Chengwen! I will kill you for this!"
Lu Chengwen and Hua Xuening were playing in the amusent city when they suddenly saw a woman storming in like a lunatic, frantically looking around.
Lu Chengwen was startled—Qi ishao!?
He quickly stood up, grabbing Hua Xuening's hand, and darted out through another door.
Behind them, Qi ishao spotted Lu Chengwen and let out a grief-stricken, angry roar:
"Lu Chengwen! If you're a man, don't run! I'm going to kill you!"
Lu Chengwen ran like the wind, muttering to himself:
"What kind of logic is that? You're going to kill , and I'm supposed to stand still for you?!"
"I'm not so idiot wandering around a farr's market announcing my stupidity to everyone."
After running a long distance, he finally stopped in a deserted alley.
Lu Chengwen, panting heavily, waved his hand:
"What are you doing? I can't run anymore!"
Hua Xuening smiled.
"Master, you go on ahead. I'll hold her off."
Qi ishao charged over, but Hua Xuening stepped in to block her.
In this terrain, Hua Xuening was unbeatable. If Qi ishao could break through her, Hua Xuening might as well quit martial arts altogether.
Qi ishao stomped her feet in frustration:
"Why didn't you stop your Sister Shiyin, but you're blocking only ?!"
Hua Xuening replied earnestly:
"Because you really an to kill my master."
Qi ishao's vision swam with rage:
"Shi Yin-jie, this is your chance! Lu Chengwen is all alone—go after him and kill him!"
Luo Shiyin had no choice but to leap over the two of them, chasing after Lu Chengwen.
Lu Chengwen turned a corner, pressed himself against a wall, and cursed under his breath:
"Damn woman, always trying to kill ! One day, I'll give you a hundred the Pills and let you overdose!"
At that mont, Luo Shiyin dropped down from above, and the two locked eyes. Luo Shiyin, flustered, blurted out:
"You... why haven't you run off yet?"
Lu Chengwen chuckled.
"Waiting for you."
Luo Shiyin's face flushed red.
"Waiting for ? Why? I... I'm here to kill you."
"Oh," Lu Chengwen said, completely unafraid of her now.
"Would you really be able to?"
"Why wouldn't I?"
Around the corner, Qi ishao overheard their conversation and shouted:
"Shi Yin-jie, what are you waiting for? Kill him! Everything will go back to normal!"
Left with no other option, Luo Shiyin drew her sword:
"You... you... take this!"
Her movents were soft and hesitant, slow and gentle. Forget about killing soone—she'd struggle to even kill a chicken like this.
Lu Chengwen, of course, knew she couldn't bring herself to attack. He cheekily stepped closer, moving even slower than she did, effortlessly deflecting her moves while smiling at her:
"Shiyin, your martial arts are amazing."
Luo Shiyin's face turned even redder.
"Stop joking! I... I'm trying to kill you!"
If Qi ishao could see this scene right now, she'd probably be so angry she'd vomit blood.
Is this a fight?
This is outright flirting!
Trying to kill soone? This is clearly seduction!
Lu Chengwen gently pushed aside Luo Shiyin's elbow and pulled her into his arms:
"I said sothing wrong earlier. You're not mad at , are you?"
Luo Shiyin, blushing furiously, murmured:
"You... you bad person. I'm not done with you today..."
Then, softly, almost shyly, she whispered:
"Peach Blossom..."
As their eyes t, Luo Shiyin's heartbeat quickened, and she turned her head away in embarrassnt.
"Chaotic Slash."
What kind of Chaotic Slash is this? This is clearly an explosion of peach-blossom luck!
Lu Chengwen gently pushed her wrist aside again, pulling her back into his arms.
"Shiyin, your martial arts are truly extraordinary."
Luo Shiyin gave a token struggle.
"Don't ss around. I'm definitely going to kill you today."
Lu Chengwen lightly tapped her back and laughed.
Luo Shiyin stomped her foot.
"You're so annoying! You're unbearable! I'm not playing with you anymore!"
Lu Chengwen quickly said:
"My bad, my bad."
"Hmph! What's so bad about it?"
"I... hehe. Co , and I'll tell you."
Luo Shiyin pouted, raising her sword and slowly sidestepping closer:
"Colorful..."
Then, shyly, lowering her gaze:
"Chaotic Slash..."
Lu Chengwen gently lifted her arm again, and as their eyes t, Luo Shiyin took a deep breath:
"Ah!"
Then she turned her head, trying to pull her wrist away from Lu Chengwen's grasp.
But how could Lu Chengwen let go now?
"I missed you.Be honest—don't you miss ?"
Luo Shiyin turned her head away.
"I don't."
Lu Chengwen thought for a mont.
"How about this—co over . We'll just talk and clear things up. Is that okay?"
Luo Shiyin looked at him, her gaze wavering.
"You... promise not to bully ?"
"I promise, I definitely won't bully you."
"You... you swear?"
"I swear."
"Just to talk!"
"Of course."
Lu Chengwen looked at her.
"Deal?"
Luo Shiyin nodded slightly, her face red all the way down to her neck.
Lu Chengwen, overjoyed.
Lu Chengwen laughed.
In the corner of the alley, Qi ishao was already furious.
"Hua Xuening! I'm mad! I'm really mad now!"
Luo Shiyin asked:
"What about her?"
Lu Chengwen rubbed his chin.
"We'll have to think of sothing."
