ch 176 – The Experiment Was Successful; Wandered Into Thieves’ Den (9)
It was exactly as she had speculated, but now was confirmed by Yuteng.
Since she had already ran into this place, she might as well take care of it altogether, so they couldn’t hurt anymore innocents.
“Eh, Bighead Chi, why did you follow us here?” Water Ghoul stopped and asked when he discovered that not only did Bighead Chi not left but had been following them.
Bighead Chi gave him an appeasing smile and said, “Water Ghoul, after all, I was the one who ran into this brat first, right? If it wasn’t for me, she might have already escaped, right?”
“Hrm, I guess you want to be awarded for that. Fine, you have a point there, but don’t go overboard!” Water Ghoul realized that he won’t be able to get rid of Bighead Chi, so instead, he warned him to not try to pocket all the reward himself in a bit.
Bighead Chi nodded with a smile, agreeing to his words.
Watching the interaction between the two minions, Cheng Xiao Xiao found them amusing. Unintentionally, she locked eyes with Bighead Chi and noticed the complicated look in his eyes. Cheng Xiao Xiao raised her brows.
There just might to Bighead Chi than what he appeared to be.
Under the urging sound of Water Ghoul, the three arrived at the courtyard. Just when they arrived at the entrance, they could hear laughter from both men and women. It was obvious that those inside were indulging in both alcohol and other pleasures
“Go away, why are you disturbing me?!”
Soon as they stopped, a voice rich in qi came from the inside. From the voice alone, Cheng Xiao Xiao could tell that this grandmaster was at least a martial spiritualist!
“Grandmaster! It’s Water Ghoul and Bighead Chi!” replied Water Ghoul loudly.
The noises from the inside came to a grinding halt. It wasn’t long before the room door was opened and out came a tough and stocky looking senior monk.
He looked to be around 40 or so. His eyes were sharp like that of eagles. As soon as he noticed Cheng Xiao Xiao standing between the two of them, he asked surprisingly, “Where do you guys find her from?”
“So you are the grandmaster, flower monk?”
The senior monk was even more surprised. Pointing at himself, he asked, “Little girl, you know me?”
“Aren’t you flower monk?”
“How do you know my name is Flower Monk?”
“’cuz you always are in the TV shows!” Cheng Xiao Xiao finally decided to put her faith in TV shows once.
Water Ghoul and Bighead Chi by her side was also dumbfounded when they heard her referring to him as Flower Monk. How was it possible that she knew the nick of their grandmaster?
Very few people in the surrounding area had heard of Flower Monk. Mainly because every time Flower Monk went on a mission, he left no survivors. None of the victims knew who he was.
As for the name Flower Monk, he got that shortly after he became a monk because he never gave up meat, wine, and women. It was only natural that he received that nick.
“TV shows?”
Flower Monk was utterly confused, but quickly he remembered his earlier question, “Little girl, who are you huh? How did you end up in our temple?
“It wasn’t quite a choice; I was sent by the King of Hell!” Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t afraid of Flower Monk at all. Her fly swatter was good enough to swat even martial kings, so what if he was a martial spiritualist?
Flower Monk rolled his eyes and scolded, “Little girl, you think you are funny? If you don’t tell me how you got here, I just might eat your heart!”
“Hrm, I knew you are a bunch of cannibalistic monsters!” snickered Cheng Xiao Xiao.
“Go ahead and tell me, little girl, which sect are you with?” Flower Monk could tell she was a martial apprentice. He may not care about a martial apprentice, but he was well aware that anyone that could cultivate were not ordinary individuals. Most commoners would never have the opportunity to cultivate.
