Chapter 1618 (1/2)
Chapter 1618: Han Feifei
“AH!”
That man let out a miserable cry, causing everyone to jump. That whip had clearly been aimed at the woman. Why would that man suddenly act as the hero saving the beauty?
Even if he wanted to be a hero saving a beauty, he wouldn’t use his own face to receive it. However, when people saw that his throat was caught in someone else’s hand, they couldn’t help letting out startled cries.
A cloaked man was holding him like he was a chicken. The former had used the latter’s face to receive that whip. Even the whipper was startled.
Naturally this cloaked person was Long Chen. He coldly said, “Is it fun playing such a joke? Now you’ve experienced how it feels, so tell me, is it fun?”
“Who… who are you?!” demanded that man.
Previously, it had been this man who had smiled wickedly and pushed that woman forward just as the palanquin was approaching. That woman hadn’t been expecting such a thing, and so she had been pushed out.
Long Chan had seen it clearly. As a man, he wasn’t opposed to pulling pranks. Who didn’t have a bit of a petty side?
However, a man had to take responsibility for his actions. Seeing this man push that woman to be beaten while acting like he hadn’t done anything had sparked Long Chen’s anger, so he had helped that man play the hero saving the beauty.
“Who I am isn’t important. What’s important is that as a man who stands while he pees, you have to bear the responsibility for your actions. If you harm someone, you have to help them bear the consequences. I knew you didn’t have that courage, so I just helped you out. There’s no need to thank me.” Long Chen slowly released the man and patted him on the shoulder.
When Long Chen said this, everyone immediately understood what had happened. They all glowered at the man, especially the women. If it weren’t for the palanquin being present, they might have already charged forward and beaten him to death.
“Just wait!” The man cried out some vicious words before covering his face and leaving.
The woman who had almost been harmed thanked Long Chen, but Long Chen merely smiled and shook his head.
“You like meddling in other people’s affairs? Scram!”
The expert with the whip was embarra.s.sed at having his attack so easily blocked. Seeing the woman, who had been his original target, thank Long Chen, he was enraged and attacked Long Chen, eliciting startled cries.
Long Chen caught his whip. His hand moved so fast that others couldn’t even see it. The expert tried to pull back his whip, and the whip’s runes lit up. It was a powerful Ancestral item. However, no matter what he did, the whip was like a little snake caught in Long Chen’s grasp. He couldn’t pull it out.
“You should bless your luck. If the weather wasn’t good today, you’d be a corpse. Scram!”
Long Chen shook his hand ever so slightly. That expert coughed up blood, while every inch of his whip exploded, its fragments scattering through the air.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you-!”
Pow!
The expert’s furious roar was cut off when Long Chen slapped him across the face. His head caved in, and he flew into the distance.
Long Chen’s gaze was cold. Originally, his mood was good as he had come to see Chu Yao. His mood was as sunny as the weather. Being in a crowd of so many people made him recall many things of a more mediocre time.
However, there just had to be a fool who came to provoke him, ruining his good mood. If the weather wasn’t good, or if his mood wasn’t good, he’d have long since killed that idiot with the wave of a hand.
Long Chen’s actions startled everyone, and they backed up even further, looking at him in shock. Someone actually dared to attack Han Feifei’s people? Just how tough was his backing?
“What is going on?” A female voice came from within the palanquin. It sounded like its owner had just woken up.
“Reporting to the young lady, someone is blocking the path and causing trouble!” reported one of the experts.
“Then hurry up and kill them. I want to see brother Di Xin already,” said the woman.
“Yes.” The experts immediately surrounded Long Chen. “Brat, although you have some skill, you shouldn’t have become enemies with my Han family. To be enemies with the Han family is to be enemies with the Southern Xuan Region’s ancient family alliance. Before, you didn’t know the young lady’s status. But now that you do, it’s too late. I’ll give you to the count of three. Kill yourself. Doing so has two benefits: you’ll get to keep your corpse intact, and you won’t bring disaster to your family.”
“Hahahahaha…”
Long Chen couldn’t help but laugh. Even in all his time dominating the Eastern Xuan Region, he had never encountered someone so wildly arrogant, arrogant to the point that it was laughable.
