Chapter 146 - Even Experts Fear Death (1/2)

Qin Nanfeng’s living quarters were easy to find. Ling Chuxi silently approached, but just as she closed in, she was noticed.

Qin Nanfeng’s somewhat deep voice sounded from inside the house, “Who is trying to visit me so late at night? How exciting. Since you are here, why don’t you show yourself?”

The next moment, the dark house lit up.

Ling Chuxi was not caught by surprise either. Qin Nanfeng was already at Battle Qi Level-8. Being able to notice her presence was not something odd. Calmly pus.h.i.+ng the window open, she leaped inside.

When Qin Nanfeng took a good look at the person who had just entered, he was stunned. She was just a pet.i.te maiden, and couldn’t be older than sixteen or seventeen. Her looks were ordinary and her face was full of freckles. But her eyes… her eyes were gleaming, like a sharp, unsheathed sword. Those eyes did not match her ordinary looks at all.

However, why had such an immature young maiden snuck in so late at night? And her cultivation was even more surprising to Qin Nanfeng. This young maiden was already outside his window when he noticed her.

Was there a person with such skills in s.h.i.+ Qu Town? He flipped through his memories but could not recall anyone that fit the bill.

“Why are you looking for me?” asked Qin Nanfeng, frowning with caution. His hand was already on his sword. He did not let down his guard just because his opponent was young.

Ling Chuxi glanced at his hand. Indeed, one of the fingers on his right hand was still bandaged. That must be the injury inflicted by the second elder.

She suddenly spoke, her tone innocent, “A finger on your right hand is wounded. Does it hurt?”

A stunned Qin Nanfeng subconsciously answered her, “Huh? It’s still alright.”

“Then, if your entire right hand was crippled, would that still be fine?”

A peculiar smile suddenly appeared on Ling Chuxi’s face as she fiercely drew her sword with such speed, like thunder roaring before one is able to cover their ears, and attacked.

‘How fast!’

Astonished, Qin Nanfeng quickly drew his sword to deal with her attack. The burst of Battle Qi and murderous intent this young maiden released was frightening. Who exactly was she? Asking about his hand… could it be?!
