Chapter 272: Come and Humiliate Me!
Qing Ming City.
All of a sudden, cracks covered the entire downtown area.
There were no warning signs.
They came and disappeared quickly.
A sinister and uncanny aura emanated from the cracks, seemingly signaling the pending birth of a certain mysterious and powerful thing or aâŠ
âSpirit body!â
A nearby cultivator was thrilled.
Just as they wanted to give up, something finally happened. Given the situation, it was highly possible that a spirit body was going to be born!
âIâve waited for ages,â a cultivator who was obviously older said.
Didnât they come here for spirit bodies?!
They had waited it out!
âHurry! Hurry! Hurry!â
A group of cultivators was on the move.
Almost all the foreign cultivators in Qing Ming City rushed downtown and began to search the cracks in the area.
Buzzâ
Buzzâ
The detecting devices were shining fervently.
The aura in the cracks actually triggered a response.
âItâs actually true!â
âI just donât know where it is!â
âPerhaps itâs in a particular crack!â
âLook for it!â
Downtown had been swamped by a group of foreign cultivatorsâŠ
Shop owners whose shops were either open or closed were disturbed by these cultivators, who were holding the devices and walking around in their homes. No one dared to go against them.
After allâŠ
They were only low-level cultivators.
âŠ
Right then, the policemen also took actions immediately.
However, facing this group of fervent cultivators, they had no way of dealing with them either. These cultivators were too powerful and their numbers were horrifyingâŠ
âTell them that if they kill any citizen of Qing Ming City, theyâll be blacklisted by the police!â the police chief instructed.
âYes.â
Zhang Wei accepted the order.
They directly sent the message to all the cultivators who understood with one glance. Who would kill the people here for no reason?!
Even those who normally carried out evil deeds would not stir up any trouble right under the policemenâs nose!
They came for the spirit body!
âŠ
At this very momentâŠ
Lu Ming and Xiaobai witnessed this chaos which took everyone by surprise.
FinallyâŠ
Something happened.
Looking at the fissures on the ground, Lu Ming had an inexplicable feeling that they were very similar to those that he had previously seen in the school field. It resembled a certain omen!
For exampleâ
The time the bar spirit appeared!
âDo you spirit bodies have to wreck the ground when you come out?â
Lu Ming was expressionless.
Xiao-Xiaojian was enraged. âOf course not!â
âThen why did you destroy the school field?â Lu Ming asked.
âItâs really not meâŠâ
Xiao-Xiaojian could not be bothered to comment. âThe appearance of the spirit body did not have anything to do with the collapse of the ground! The timings happened to coincide. Itâs merely a coincidence.â
âWhat about this time?â
Lu Ming looked at the cracks beneath his feet which had already spread to the middle of the shop.
Damn!
They had to spend money for renovation again!
Why did this always coincide with the appearance of spirit bodies?
Hehe.
âGod knows.â
Xiao-Xiaojian felt helpless.
CracksâŠ
Who the hell knows why there are cracks?!
Cracks are appearing because Qing Ming City is not hardy enough. On what basis must spirit bodies become the scapegoats?!
I only want to quietly and gradually recover my energy. Cracks and all that jazz will only expose me. Would I do such a stupid thing?!
Click!
Click!
Two other cracks emerged.
Due to the collapse of the ground, slight cracks were also appearing on the walls. The renovated walls had also cracked and looked extremely ugly nowâŠ
âItâll cost a lot.â
Xiaobaiâs heart ached a little.
All these renovations needed money!
âMaster⊠Can we get someone to pay for this?â Xiaobai said quietly.
She loved to watch the balance in the bank account grow. It felt good, especially when she was the one diligently managing this little home in the shop.
It was such a wonderful feeling.
âIâm afraid Old Jiang wonât reimburse this.â
Lu Ming sighed.
âMaster!â
Xiaobai widened her eyes.
Cough, cough.
Lu Ming coughed. âDonât worry, Master will get someone to reimburse thisâŠâ
âReally?â
Xiaobai blinked her eyes.
âYes.â
Lu Ming rubbed her tiny head. âWhen have I ever been shortchanged? Haha. Even if an ancient sword spirit stirs up trouble, I can make it take responsibility, much less a spirit body!â
âOkay.â
Xiaobai was elated.
Xiao-Xiaojian was expressionless.
What did I do to provoke you?!
Buzzâ
Buzzâ
A distance away, a few people were holding onto detection devices and scanning the area fervently.
âXiaobai. Bring the things that you need first,â Lu Ming instructed.
âOkay.â
Xiaobai immediately went to pack up.
Lu Ming called Jiang Feng and discovered that Old Jiang had switched off his phone again at this critical moment⊠He reckoned that his journey on the run had begun again.
So unreliable.
Lu Ming sighed.
Forget it.
He would send her to the police.
Lu Ming contacted Zhang Wei and simply sent her to the police headquarters, which was the safest place in Qing Ming City now!
HoweverâŠ
Xiaobaiâs bag looked fully packedâŠ
âWhat did you put inside?â Lu Ming asked quietly.
She remembered that Xiaobai did not have any cosmetic products. Most likely, she only had a few cards!
âBooks,â Xiaobai said softly.
âWhat book?â
Lu Ming was curious.
If they were textbooks, he remembered that Xiaobai had already finished reading them⊠Given Xiaobaiâs memory, she should have memorized all of them. Why was she bringing books under such circumstances?
âItâs⊠just books!â
Xiaobai looked flustered. âAye! Master, leave! If those guys tear down the shop, we wonât have a home anymoreâŠâ
âOkay, okay, okay.â
Lu Ming felt helpless. He could only leave.
At this very momentâŠ
Zhang Wei led Xiaobai into the office.
âRest here for the time being.
Thereâs water and food. If youâre hungry, you can go to the canteen downstairs. Itâs all free of charge. Just donât leave this building. Be good and obedient,â Zhang Wei said gently.
âSure.â
Xiaobai nodded.
Zhang Wei waited for a long time.
AfterwardâŠ
He could only leave with an odd feeling.
This was strange.
He remembered that this young lady used to speak with an adorable accent in the past. However, he waited for a long time and the accent did not appearâŠ
Where was the cuteness?!
Had the cuteness disappeared?!
What was the reason?
Was it because his looks were ordinary and thus he was not qualified to hear it?!
âXiaobai, is it because I look frightening?â Zhang Wei asked gently.
Xiaobai shook her head.
âWhy donât you speak then?â
Zhang Wei tried to sound friendly.
âMaster said that I should try my best not to trouble others when Iâm outside. I have to be clear and concise when I speak and should not use any dialect or accent,â Xiaobai said seriously.
This was what her master taught her and she had remembered it by heart.
Be good.
Be obedient.
âI see.â
Zhang Wei had a look of understanding.
This childâŠ
She was so sensible that his heart ached for her.
âI thought that you were shunning me for being ugly.â
Zhang Wei could not stifle his laugh.
âOf course not,â Xiaobai said seriously, âI wonât judge a person by their looks.â
âGood.â
Zhang Wei felt validated.
This child was really sensible. AfterwardâŠ
He recovered his senses.
Wait a minute.
Why did he feel somewhat upset after hearing her words?
âŠ
Zhang Wei left in a daze.
Xiaobai looked around cautiously and then gingerly took out the small booklets from her school bag. The books were titled âFacts about dressing in female clothing.â
There were also important points that Little Lu Ming had highlighted in them.
âThese are masterâs books.â
Xiaobaiâs bright and dewy eyes were filled with curiosity. Her horizons were widened when she read the books.
âIt turns out that⊠Master likes this kind of book?â
âŠ
At this very momentâŠ
Lu Ming had already returned to the shop.
WellâŠ
The shop was full of cracks.
The glass display cabinet was wobbling. Lu Ming simply put everything away and threw miscellaneous things under the bed.
What had happened was a sudden calamity!
Forget about the last time where the koi came knocking on his door. This time, the spirit bodies directly collapsed the downtown area.
Why did they have to do that?
âYou spirit bodies really wonât let humans have easy lives.â
Lu Ming sighed.
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
âNevertheless, this is also great.â
Lu Mingâs gaze suddenly turned cold. âI can test my current ability!â
What was his current ability?
A beginner four-star!
Combat ability?
Conservatively, it was beginner five-star!
In the past, he could fight a peak four-star head-on. Now that he had broken through to four-star, his ability had increased tremendously and it should not be a problem for him to fight a beginner five-star!
Of course.
This was merely a conservative estimate.
His true combat ability could only be tested in actual combat.
It was just as niceâŠ
This was also Lu Mingâs chance.
He was well aware that he belonged to the type who was extremely afraid of death.
Some people were fond of combat and could attain breakthroughs during combat. The more they fought, the stronger they became!
As for himâŠ
If it was possibleâŠ
He was certainly the type who would roll fireballs in the depths of the hills and forest until he became an invincible grandmaster before he would be willing to come out of seclusionâŠ
That was safer!
In a place such as Tian Du City where five-star and six-stars were akin to dogs and big shots were running around everywhere, Lu Ming was still very low-profile because it was dangerous!
But this timeâŠ
HeheâŠ
The group of people who came to Qing Ming City seemed to be at most five-star?
It seemed that the powerful ones would only come when the spirit bodies truly appeared. They could not be bothered to come to this place to wait. It would be a waste of time!
After allâŠ
Typically, five-star was already considered very powerful!
Especially in Qing Ming City!
BesidesâŠ
The vocation cores that he stored in his body were almost depleted. It was time to stock up again. The effect of this thing was more potent than he thought!
âXiao-Xiaojian, itâs time for us to fight!â
Lu Mingâs heart was stirring.
Shush!
When he stepped out of the doors, two cultivators holding onto detection devices were walking to him. Just as they wanted to enter his shop, Lu Ming cast a murderous and provocative gaze at them.
Shush!
Their eyes met!
Suddenly, a chilly atmosphere spread in the air.
Come on!
The bustling energy in Lu Mingâs body was about to emerge.
âLu Ming?â
That cultivator was stunned.
âDo you know him?â the cultivator beside him asked.
âDidnât I tell you before? Heâs the younger brother of Lu Yan. Heâs a spirit body demon killer. A few spirit bodies in Qing Ming City have suffered under his vicious handsâŠ
âHeâs extremely strange and mysterious.
âBe it six-star or five-star, they canât escape from his clutches!â
The cultivator swallowed his saliva as he spoke.
âDamn!
âHeâs that scary?â
His companion was also beginning to feel nervous.
âItâs not just thatâŠ
âHis elder sister is even more horrifying. I heard that ever since she attained six-star, she has been fighting with everyone and beaten many famous six-stars⊠If you hit her younger brotherâŠâ
âDamn,â the cultivator said nervously, âLetâs leave, leave, leave. Hurry, letâs goâŠâ
With thatâŠ
The duo gave a gentle and respectful bow to Lu Ming and then left.
Lu Ming was speechless.
They left just like that?
Couldnât they give him some faceâŠ
On the surface, he was merely an ordinary beginner four-starâŠ
Weaklings!
One of you is a peak four-star and the other a beginner five-star but you actually turned around and escaped? What do you mean? Arenât cultivators strict about levels?
Youâre a dignified five-star cultivator and you donât want your face too?!
HoweverâŠ
The duo left without any hesitationâŠ
Lu Ming did not have a choice.
Moments later.
He saw someone coming and directly lounged at them. In the end, the other person ran as soon as he saw Lu Ming approaching. He did not even give him a chance to speak.
Crap!
Lu Ming was dumbstruck for a long time.
Did they need to go to this extent?!
HoweverâŠ
He did not know that a legend about him had already begun to spreadâŠ
âHave you heard about it? Lu Ming has appeared.â
âWow, that devil who specializes in killing spirit bodies?!â
âItâs him!â
âHurry!â
âQuickly find the spirit body. We must not give Lu Ming any chance! There have been times when he accidentally saw spirit bodies and simply killed themâŠâ
âR-right.â
The people hastened to find the spirit bodies.
As to killing Lu Ming?
They merely thought about it.
Most of the cultivators who came all the way to Qing Ming City after hearing rumors about spirit bodies appearing were itinerant cultivatorsâŠ
Would these people provoke Lu Ming?
Would they offend Lu Yanâs younger brother?
They would not dare to not even if they had ten guts!
âŠ
âAm I that famous now?â
Lu Ming was deep in his thoughts.
After pondering the situation, he simply fished out a surgical mask from his house and wore it. He then changed into another set of clothes. There should no longer be a problem?
He was out to look for trouble this time!
He wanted to test his own ability!
He wanted to teach these foreign cultivators a lesson!
He wanted to find a scapegoat for his damaged shop!
Shush!
Lu Ming stepped out in large strides.
The simple and plain surgical mask made him look more mysterious. At the sight of a crowded spot, he instinctively headed there and wanted to start a fight.
HoweverâŠ
Just as he walked over.
Wowâ
The crowd dispersed.
âLu Ming is here!â
âLetâs go!â
âQuickly, letâs go!â someone said in a low voice.
One by one, groups of four-star and five-star cultivators left.
âIs that really Lu Ming?â
âHow did you recognize him?â
âOf course! Most cultivators look worn out. There are very few good-looking cultivators. There are even fewer ones who will dress up. Who would waste precious time in dressing up?! Look at Lu Mingâs eyes⊠They are so big and good-looking. Clearly, he has done something to themâŠ
âPerhaps he even did a double eyelid surgery!â
âIt makes senseâŠâ
âThatâs not true. Iâve seen many celebrity cultivators and sons from rich families who are good-looking too!â
âDo you think they will come here?â
âYouâre right.â
The cultivators left hurriedly.
Leaving behind Lu Ming, whose face was turning increasingly blackâŠ
Damn!
Youâre the one who put on makeup!
Youâre the one who did double eyelid surgery!
Do I need that kind of thing?!
This is genetics, understand?!
Unrivaled beauty, do you know what that is?!
Furthermore, there are so many of you who are foreign five-star and four-star cultivators. Arenât you guys usually very ill-tempered? Since when are you guys that rule-abiding?
Come and challenge me!
Come and humiliate me!
