Chapter 547: A Hopeless Relationship
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Anxious, Li Yixiao stood up. “Now you’ve beaten me. What else do you want?”
“I only want to ask why you left without saying goodbye.” Nalan Que was hissing with anger, ready to erupt anytime like an active volcano.
“Why don’t you go and ask your mother?”
“Don’t you dare speak ill of my mum!” Nalan Que raised her brows in annoyance.
The spectators’ eyes kept switching between Li Yixiao and Nalan Que. Were they about to quarrel? What an interesting show!
Li Yixiao snapped, “Okay everyone, I’ll let you be the judge. Back then, it would be okay if your mum looked down on me for being poor, because I could always work hard to get that money. Sometimes I am really jealous of those guys whose mother-in-law was dissatisfied over their lack of financial means or pure incompetence, because at least they could alter the situation by putting in some effort. However, your mother was quite unique. She only paid attention to horoscope, date of birth, the auspiciousness of facial and palm features. How do you want me to change those?!”
Lu Shu could hardly hold in his laughter, as did everyone else around. Bro, that was really too much.
Nalan Que took a long time to think of a rebuttal. “But that doesn’t mean you should leave without saying goodbye!”
“Your mum said I am destined to be an obstacle in your life. For God’s sake, what else could I do?!” Li Yixiao was irked. “Hurry up and tell me what you want. If you wanna fight, so be it. I, Li Yixiao, am never afraid of anybody!”
“Sure.” Nalan Que laughed due to pent-up anger. “Let’s fight. Today, only one person between us can get out of here alive.”
The spectators drew a started breath. Was she serious?
At the moment, some people started to move out secretly. The Bajiquan earlier was already frightening enough. Who knew how much collateral damage would be involved when they unleashed their full power?
Besides those secret practitioners, Lu Shu was shocked to see even Mr Gao Cang was inching towards the door too…
Just when Lu Shu was about to pack up his chives and follow the crowd, suddenly someone stepped on his chives amidst the flurry!
The foot froze. Lu Shu slowly raised his head to meet Wang Zhe’s apologetic eyes. “Brother, I’ll pay for your chives…”
“That’s all? You have to apologize to my chives!”
“From Wang Zhe’s distress, +666!”
Wang Zhe became nervous. “Brother, don’t be stupid. You see, they are about to fight anytime. If the two Class B’s happen to hit us by chance, it won’t end well for either of us.”
“You want to run without saying sorry? You think that’s alright?” Lu Shu sneered. Wang Zhe wanted to leave at once, but he was immediately pulled back by Lu Shu. He almost fell to the floor under Lu Shu’s immense strength.
“From Wang Zhe’s distress, +999!”
Wang Zhe was a man adaptable to circumstances. Knowing that his life was more important than his face, he really made a bow to the chives with all sincerity. “My apologies.”
But it was too late for him to leave now…
Li Yixiao and Nalan Que were already coming towards them during their intense fight. Neither of them seemed willing to hold back their powers. In fact, Bajiquan was more effective in short-range combat and it was no rival against Li Yixiao’s mighty Tiger Fist.
The entire bomb shelter was shaking. Dirt fell from the ceiling due to the tremor and there were dents in the walls under their fists.
Wang Zhe almost fainted in terror. The two were approaching him at lightning speed!
Li Yixiao’s Tiger Sign sprang from his back and Nalan Que defended herself by avoiding his attack agilely.
In this period of time, she had retreated with more defensive than aggressive moves. Waves of energy blasted outwards in the clash of their powers, dragging the spectators into agony.
Nalan Que roared in fury, “Li Yixiao, how dare you hit me!”
Realizing that she had a point, Li Yixiao paused his movement. But Nalan Que seized this opportunity and threw another punch at him, reigniting the warfare again…
Wang Zhe was scared. “Brother, we must leave now before it gets too late!”
Li Yixiao hurled his fist towards Nalan Que, who evaded the blow. But his punch, unstoppable, banged into Lu Shu and Wang Zhe like an artillery shell. At that instant, Wang Zhe was so scared that he peed his pants, while Lu Shu suddenly exerted force from under his feet and delivered a ferocious blow against Li Yixiao’s fist!
An immense blast exploded on the spot with a loud bang, forcibly sending Wang Zhe, Gao Cang and others behind Lu Shu flying backwards in the air.
Nalan Que erupted. “How dare you hit Li Yixiao!”
All of a sudden, Nalan Que condensed all her strength and dashed towards Lu Shu, who took a small step back in defense. In the next instant, countless beams of invisible sword energy shot out from Lu Shu’s sea of chi with a loud ring. Their sharp blades swept towards Nalan Que like a flood of swords, and their energy was as powerful as a dragon!
Nalan Que was stunned. Never had she expected that the teenage chives vendor she had just despised was actually an expert comparable to Li Yixiao and herself. Furthermore, his first move was deadly!
The spectators were shocked. “Am I dreaming? Three Class B’s on one night. Is this really a bloody black market for secret practitioners?”
“Where did they all come from…”
Actually, Lu Shu had no intention to harm Nalan Que and he only wanted her to back down. Honestly speaking, Nalan Que’s angry counter attack was unexpected, for it showed she still had feelings towards Li Yixiao!
Invisible sword energy whizzed past Nalan Que and sliced open numerous scratches of blades on the walls. To the spectators, it looked like a casual mural.
Li Yixiao could not be any more familiar with the sword energy. He gasped in shock. “What’s your relationship with Li Xianyi?!”
Lu Shu’s aurablade had always been kept secret by Nie Ting, for it was imperative that Lu Shu had some unknown trump cards up his sleeves if he were to be sent overseas.
Thus, even Li Yixiao had no idea about Lu Shu opening up his sea of chi. But his aurablade was simply too unique and Li Yixiao recognized it at once!
However, Lu Shu had no intention to stay any longer with Li Yixiao and Nalan Que, because the sustainability of his aurablade power was worryingly questionable. He was not yet strong enough to counter two Class B pros simultaneously.
Before the spectators could recover from the shock, Lu Shu took to his heels and darted to the outside, leaving his chives behind.
He had expected Li Yixiao and Nalan Que to chase behind, but the second he made it out of the bomb shelter, he realized the two had resumed their fight…
“There’s nothing wrong with Li Yixiao’s mother-in-law’s opinion that Li Yixiao and Nalan Que are destined to be an obstacle in each other’s life!” For some reason, Lu Shu began to see Li Yixiao’s mother-in-law in a respectful light. In the past, he used to think horoscopes were unreliable, but now he had a somehow different stand…
