Chapter 604: The Malatang That Took Flight
Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Wang Qian and Li Kun didn't know where the broken branches flew from, but the motorcyclists believed they knew the answer. They thought it was Wang Qian and Li Kun since the two of them were close and the only ones who could have pulled off the stunt. The branches had caused them serious pain, if it wasn't for their protection gear, they might not have been able to stand up anymore.
”This is a warning, mind your own business!” One of the bikers cried out, pointing at them, his voice muffled by his helmet.
Even now, they didn't ease their grip on the bag.
Wang Qian and Li Kun never wanted to cause trouble, as they have yet to complete their cultivation of immortality. Right now, they should be keeping a low profile instead of taking on challenges way out of their league.
However, when it came down to it, they weren't afraid of trouble. In unison, they let out a cry as they flung their malatang bowls towards the two motorcyclists.
The two bowls of malatang were fresh out of the pot. The soup was at least 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
The motorcyclists wore helmets, but due to the fall, they now had cracks. However, the oil from the malatang splashed onto their visor and made their view blurry. For ventilation purposes, the helmets were windproof, but not waterproof. Once the hot soup made its way through the small ventilation slits of the helmet, they bellowed in agony and wrapped their hands around their head, trying to remove their helmet.
With the success of their attack, Wang Qian and Li Kun's confidence grew. Taking of advantage of the fact that the motorcyclists were unable to see clearly, the two of them rushed forwards and started punching and kicking the two motorcyclists.
”How dare you steal someone's bag! I hate thieves!”
”Scr*w you! Flaunting how fierce you are? Don't you know we're trained?”
”Give him a good one!”
They were pumping themselves up with all the trash talk, punching, and kicking.
By the time the motorcyclists took off their helmets, they had already suffered from a number of blows. They seemed to be the same age of Wang Qian and Li Kun, although their exact appearance couldn't be made out because of the soup and strings of translucent vermicelli hanging from their ears. The spicy soup had made its way into their eyes, making them unable to open their eyes.
Wang Qian and Li Kun had only ever trained their verbal skills, their punches and kicks lacked strength and experience. They didn't dare take things too far as they were afraid of what would happen if the two motorcyclists suffered from serious injuries, so there wasn't substantial damage done to the motorcyclists.
However, it was a different matter for the motorcyclists. They had to flee the scene as the police might arrive soon, so they had to do everything they could to get rid of the two troublemakers quickly.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and a punch was thrown towards Wang Qian's face.
Wang Qian was panic-stricken, he instinctively closed his eyes and subconsciously cast his palm outwards.
”Aiya!”
The person who went down wasn't Wang Qian, but the motorcyclist who threw the punch. He was holding his ribs in pain, it seemed like Wang Qian had delivered quite a heavy blow.
However, the sensation in Wang Qian's fingertips told him that he barely brushed the side of his body. If he didn't use great force, why is the motorcyclist in so much pain?
Li Kun had a similar situation. His opponent dodged his punch, but for some reason, went limp and fell towards his fist, suffering a solid blow. Li Kun punched him in the chest, but the motorcyclist held onto the back of his neck.
”Wow! You guys are really impressive!”
”Yeah, have you guys practiced before?”
The surrounding crowd were amazed and clapped excitedly. Under the night sky, no one was able to see the fight clearly, so they all believed that it was really Wang Qian and Li Kun who took down the thieves with one move.
Wang Qian and Li Kun were dumbstruck, they couldn't figure out why their opponents were so weak. Could it be that during their long period of time spent by master's side, they had unknowingly succeeded in their cultivation of immortality? They heard that the most bada** practitioners were able to cultivate while they were asleep, could it be that they awakened such ability by chance?
Li Kun picked up the designer bag and handed it back to its owner, who was also a Binhai University student. The bag was a Christmas gift from her boyfriend, so along with its monetary value, it also had sentimental value.
She was very thankful to both Wang Qian and Li Kun, she kept thanking them until they felt embarrassed.
It didn't take long for the police to arrive.
As the incident happened in the vicinity of Binhai University, and to one of their students, the school's security team leader arrived at the scene with his men and persuaded the students that weren't involved to return back to school.
Since the details of the incident were obvious, and since there were a number of witnesses, the police were able to gather statements and leave with the two motorcyclists in their custody quickly.
”Are you two students of Binhai University?” The security team leader overheard Wang Qian and Li Kun giving their statements to the police earlier, so he came over to investigate further.
”Yes.” They wouldn't be able to hide anything even if they wanted to, so they were honest when they gave their class, names, and student identification numbers.
The security team leader took down their information, smiled as he gave them a pat on their shoulders, and said, ”Good job! Being brave for a honorable cause is a great thing that doesn't happen often. Have either of you received any honors or badges of recognition before?”
Wang Qian gave it a thought and said after a moment, ”Does one from primary school count?”
Li Kun added, ”I once made it to Diamond Rank in King of Glory.”
Ever since they were young, their academic results had always been average, far from any honorable achievements. Even in games, they had never once made it to the top ranks.
The security team leader replied, ”Forget it, you guys can head back. If we need anything else, I'll look for the two of you again.”
”Will what we've done be considered as actions made for a just cause?” the unsure two asked. It was an impulse decision to dump their bowls of soup onto the motorcyclists head, if it counted as excessive self-defence things could get messy.
”If what the two of you described indeed happened, then yes it'll be considered as actions made for a just cause,” he explained. ”The two of you stopped lawbreakers who committed a crime. They refused to let go of the bag and only did so when you took them down. Once they let go, the two of you stopped hurting them. If that's not actions made for a just cause, then I don't know what is. Even if it's not, rest assured the school will take it to court for the two of you.”
