103 So White (1/2)
Jun Mo Xie noticed a long time ago that, while this man had aimed to strike him dead with the bamboo pole, he had also held back so that he could use the pole as a foothold. This point is further supported by his diving position; he had kept both legs pointed down toward the lake during his descent. An ordinary expert in this scenario would typically dive head first which would more than double his current speed.
This exposes a critical weakness. This Lord Liu, this aloof and dominant peak Gold Xuan level expert, he… does not know how to swim!
Jun Mo Xie had figured out this point in that split second. Therefore, he immediately pulled back the bamboo pole. As long as he could pull apart the bamboo pole, that Lord Liu will have nowhere to find a foothold and would have to drown himself to try and catch him!
But Jun Mo Xie did not anticipate that the bamboo pole was not only very tenacious, but the lake bed was also very deep. Having pulled on the pole to no avail and realizing that the man is closing in, he was forced to give up. A stark naked body, resembling a big whitefish squeezing a bit of jet-black aquatic plants, swimming away…
Lord Liu had decided earlier that this cowardly eavesdropping individual would certainly not be a difficult opponent. Although he doesn't know how to swim, he can still attack, retreat, and defend with the aid of the bamboo pole. When the water arrow shot out at him, Lord Liu waved his sleeves and immediately swept it to one side. This revealed that his opponent's ability was not high, and became even more relieved. But when he neared the water, he discovered that the bamboo pole head that was recently just in front of him had unexpectedly disappeared!
Panic. Like a moth to the flame, he was unable to stop himself from plunging into the water. Before he had time to collect himself, he saw two big white buttocks not too far in front of him gently swaying toward the distance–and he couldn't help but become angry!
At this moment, the water in front of him churned with life and, with a droning sound, a long bamboo pole surge up violently, propelling a current of water at great speed!
If he knew how to swim, he would naturally evade in time. But he didn't know how to swim, was still panicking from the plunge, and was preoccupied with thoughts of drowning. How would he be able to pay attention to this ”bang” sound?
The bamboo pole that had been haphazardly drawn back earlier was situated between his two legs. Striking hard and fast, a blood-curdling scream had not even been issued yet when his body instinctively folded forward causing his forehead to smash into the bamboo pole!
Letting out a pitiful cry, Lord Liu was sent flying and spinning like a kite with its string cut, losing so much blood that caused him to look like salted fish that's been dried in the sun. Flying towards the pleasure boat direction, the last memory before his consciousness faded was facing a pair of big white buttocks gently swaying… they were very white!
A quick and agile figure flew off from the pleasure boat, unexpectedly radiating brilliant silvery light. Lady Yue'er received Lord Liu's body in her arms before returning to the boat with the rope that she had tied around her waist earlier…
After landing back on the boat, Lady Yue'er had a complicated expression on her face as she looked toward the distance—the spy was long gone. In this pitch-black night and after this delay, there was very little chance she would catch up even if she had wanted to give chase…
The previously awe-inspiring Lord Liu was now lying at her feet, unconscious…
Hidden in a clump of reed on the other side of the lake, Jun Mo Xie still had lingering fear as he crawled ashore. He took advantage of the night to go streaking, all the while thanking his lucky stars. If he had not cultivated the Art of Unlocking Heaven's Fortune to its current level, perhaps he would already have been severely injured if not dead! He truly must be blessed.
Knocking out a satisfied patron coming out of the brothel whose two legs were too weak to walk, Jun Mo Xie very nimbly pulled off his clothes and disappeared like a wisp of smoke.
On the ground, a stark naked and plump body splayed out in the shape of a Chinese character for the word 'big', facing the sky. A small, earthworm-like thing collapsed askew in his crotch area…
The eight Jun Family bodyguards were going insane looking everywhere for their family's young master. They are acutely aware that they were in a difficult situation.
If Grandpa Jun was to become aware of their negligence of duty to protect the young master, not only would they be unable to escape punishment. If this young master's grandpa creates havoc again… these men did not dare to continue this line of thought.
After searching late into the night, the eight exhausted bodyguards returned to the main gate of the Jun Residence. Suddenly, they caught a glimpse of a figure that looked very similar to their family's young master and hastily ran over.
Why were they not certain this was their young master? Because the man was wearing an extremely loose robe and his appearance was a total mess. Although Young Master Jun was a complete good for nothing debauchee, his appearance was always regarded as pretty good as he usually attaches great importance to how he looks. That is why they were half-determined that this sorry figure was not the one they are searching for. But how can two different people look so similar?
So those eight bodyguards continued to stare intently, and simultaneously called out in a pleasant surprise, unable to contain their joy!
This looks very much like their young master but also appear to be just a dirty pedestrian.
That's just the way Young Master Jun is?
”What are the eight of you doing? I was scared shitless in the afternoon by that little girl Ling Meng's bullshit bodyguard. Hmph! Hmph! I called out to you all several times and to my great surprise, not a single one responded.”
Young Master Jun hurried along while shaking his head, appearing to hate iron for not being steel — resenting them for not being there when he needed them.
