Chapter 1377 - 1377: Beast
After wiping two towns on the way, Long Chen finally reached near the city on the map.
However, not far from the entrance of the city, he saw a golden carriage standing. It was surrounded by people on horses who were carrying swords. The people appeared to be bandits.
"Bandits outside? Did they even need to rob outside when the towns and cities are as lawless as they can be?" Long Chen commented, observing the bandits.
"Whatever. I need more kills. Can"t leave them there." He started going down on his Spirit Swords.
"Hahaha, Young Lady Ru, we have already killed all your guards. Why do you still hide inside? Step out yourself and let us see that beautiful face of yours! We promise we won"t touch." The Leader of the Bandit started laughing proudly.
"On the other hand, if you don"t come out, I"ll be forced to come in. And me and you inside that closed s.p.a.ce... I can"t promise that I won"t be able to keep my hand off of that tasty body of yours!" He licked his lips. "Well, now that I think about it, that does sound better. I"ll come inside myself."
The man rubbed his hands greedily as he got off his horse. He walked closer to the carriage, stepping over the dead body of a guard along the way.
He soon reached the carriage and touched the door.
He slowly started opening the door.
"Come on. Open the door fast. Man, you"ve gotten slow with age. What kind of bandits are you guys?" A mocking voice came from behind.
"Hmm?" The bandit king released the door and looked back. "Who dares!"
"Your father," Long Chen responded just as arrogantly.
Since he was trapped in this world for a long time with nothing to do except filling the bottle, he started getting a bit sleazy as well.
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Who are you!" The Bandits saw Long Chen.
"Didn"t I already answer?" Long Chen asked, smiling.
He stepped closer to the carriage. The Spirit Sword came flying close behind him.
"Kill that son of a-," the Bandit King commanded, but he couldn"t even finish his command before he saw the sword take out all his men. He couldn"t even finish a single sentence before all his men were dead. He was the only man still alive.
"You were saying something?" Long Chen grinned like a devil, standing face to face with the bandit king.
"I-i..." The old man didn"t have any response now that he was on the other end of fear. He was all alone before the man who hadn"t even moved a single finger to kill all his men.
The Spirit Sword of Long Chen was circling all around the old man as if it was a tiger circling its prey, ready to strike at any moment.
Throughout the conversation, Long Chen kept his hand behind his back, not talking. But it was only now that he raised his hand.
"I want to do the honors myself this time," Long Chen said, grasping the throat of the man. He clenched his fist, crus.h.i.+ng the neck of the old man whose eyes opened wide.
He tossed the body of the man aside.
Using his Divine Sense, he already realized that there was a young woman inside the carriage.
The woman noticed what had happened outside. All the bandits were killed by Long Chen. Seeing that, she stood up and pushed the carriage door even more before stepping outside.
The woman who came out of the carriage looked beautiful. Her long silver hair and crystal clear eyes made her charm even better. She was wearing a blue top and a green skirt that barely covered her soft thighs.
The woman would have looked really cute as well if she didn"t have the arrogant look on her face.
"You killed them all," she arrogantly stated.
"Seems that way," Long Chen replied.
The flying Sword remained behind him.
"Good work." The woman opened her purse and brought five golden papers outside. "There, we don"t like having anyone"s favor. Take the money."
She threw the five notes to Long Chen"s face.
Long Chen didn"t move, letting the notes. .h.i.t his face. The notes fell on the ground.
"Are you crazy? Pick up the money!" the woman sharply scolded Long Chen. "That should be enough for vagabonds like you. Moreover, that"s not all. From today on, I will hire you as my driver. Take the carriage back to the city."
" I"ll give you more money, and I"ll give you a job as a guard of our mansion. For homeless people like you, this should be like a dream come true!" She further added.
Long Chen released a mouthful of breath. "Young lady, to me, it looks like you"re the one who is crazy instead."
"Y-you called me crazy? How dare you!" The woman swung her palm towards Long Chen.
Long Chen grabbed the wrist of the woman, pulling her closer. "It"s not like I didn"t expect anything like this. I"ve already understood the logic of this world. Saving people doesn"t matter since you"ve all grown up with that mindset."
"Y-you! Release me!" The woman struggled, trying to free herself.
As she struggled, her soft b.r.e.a.s.t.s rubbed against Long Chen"s chest since she was sticking so close to him.
Long Chen had held her hand behind her back, basically taking her in his embrace.
"You wanted me to act as your driver to take you home, right?" Long Chen asked, smiling. "As a matter of fact, I was going to the city as well. I"ll take you with me."
He kept the woman in his tight embrace before stepping on the Spirit Sword, which started flying to the city.
"F-free me beast! I don"t like to be in the arms of vulgar men like you!" The woman said, clenching her teeth in anger.
"Vulgar man? I don"t think I"ve done anything vulgar so far. All I did was touch your hands," Long Chen responded with a smile.
"It doesn"t matter! You"re a vulgar man! A beggar! It"s clear from your clothes!" The woman exclaimed.
"My clothes? Ah, these dirty clothes. So that"s what you"re talking about. You"re not wrong though. I"m indeed homeless in this world." Long Chen nodded. "But still, that isn"t the definition of Vulgar."
"It"s all the same!" The woman raged. "Release me!"
"It"s all the same, is it?" Long Chen asked.
"So it wouldn"t matter if I just..." He slowly brought his lips closed to the lips of the woman. "If I kissed you, would it be at the same level as what I did so far? So I might as well..."
His lips remained so close to her as he talked that she could feel his warm breath brus.h.i.+ng against her lips.
