Chapter 1384 - 1379: Northeastern
Chapter 1384: Chapter 1379: Northeastern
Immediately, a young guy behind the Shangguan family’s Grand Elder stepped out.
He hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes!"
In less than thirty seconds, he brought a big glass of water.
Lin Xi took it and gulped it all down, shaking his head, "Too little!"
"At least three more glasses!"
The young man wasn’t shocked at all.
He scampered off to get more water for Lin Xi.
Soon, he came over carrying two cups.
Another middle-aged man also handed a cup to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi drank it all at once.
In the eyes of others, seeing this scene wasn’t very shocking.
Even though that cup of water was roughly half a pound.
Four cups, that’s two pounds.
For others, this was quite frightening.
And damn, that’s a lot of water to drink.
But, who is this?
This is the person who just repelled ten Innate stage masters.
On him, everything seems normal.
In their view.
"Alright, it’s getting late, you should rest, they won’t be coming again for a while!" Lin Xi said to the four Grand Elders.
Moreover, he exchanged greetings with Shangguan Nishang’s parents.
Grand Elder didn’t agree, "You should sit, or rest for a while, or we could fix you something to eat!"
After all, just leaving now.
They were a bit at a loss with what to do!
Or perhaps feeling a bit guilty.
After all, he just helped the Shangguan family resolve their greatest crisis in centuries.
How could they not give a proper thank you?
However, Lin Xi firmly refused.
Because he felt a bit uncomfortable now.
Especially with those passionate eyes from the Shangguan family, as if they wanted to eat him up.
Of course, it didn’t mean harm.
Also, Shangguan Nishang’s parents looked at him with a gaze full of affection.
Almost as if looking at their most beloved son.
So, he couldn’t take it.
He is, after all, the King of the Dark Night, the strongest in the world!
Finally, Shangguan Nishang escorted Lin Xi away.
The two of them got back into the same car they came in, the one Shangguan Nishang had used to pick Lin Xi up.
Yep, a top luxury car worth nearly ten million.
With a roar, they left the Shangguan family, heading towards Lin Xi’s home.
Lin Xi took out his phone from his pocket and found that it wasn’t too late.
It was just nine o’clock now.
Even after drinking so much water, he had actually consumed quite a bit of body fluids.
Don’t be fooled by his calm demeanor at the end.
Actually, he only had ten percent of his True Qi left.
After all, they were ten Innate stage masters.
If it were any other Early Innate Stage expert, they’d be thrashed by ten of them.
But only he could surpass ranks in combat, plus with the Jade Pendant Space on him to replenish consumed True Qi.
He barely managed to defeat them.
If anything went wrong today, he’d have been the one to lose.
Don’t be deceived by his apparent ease during the fight, every move and every attack was calculated multiple times.
Especially the reasonable application of Xuanyuan Fist.
This fist skill seriously consumes a lot of True Qi.
But if he didn’t use it and employed other fist skills, even though they are powerful, they wouldn’t be enough to tackle so many opponents.
"You’ve had a tough day!" Shangguan Nishang said.
This was her, for the first time, acting seriously given her alluring and enchanting persona.
Lin Xi wasn’t surprised.
Anyone who went through tonight’s events would get serious.
Of course, he didn’t reply with ’it’s nothing’, or ’no problem’, or ’it was my duty!’
"So how will you thank me?" he responded.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Nishang clearly hesitated for a moment.
But then, she instantly reverted to her original enchanting state.
She looked at Lin Xi seductively.
"So how should I thank you?" she teased.
Lin Xi felt as if his whole body was ignited, becoming fiery hot.
The impulse, especially after depleting so much True Qi, or the exhaustion following the battle, became uncontrollable.
His natural desires seemed to want to engulf rational thought.
Shaking his head, he forcefully regained composure, but what came out was, "Do it!"
Shangguan Nishang, "...."
The car immediately screeched with a long and harsh sound.
"Bang!" came another sound.
It crashed into the rear of the car ahead.
Instantly, the person in front stopped.
He was a big guy!
Probably from the northeast, the hot-tempered type.
Just as he opened his big mouth to start cursing, his eyes froze for a moment.
He hesitated briefly, then turned back to his car.
With a roar, the car drove off.
Leaving only a faint sentence, "I can’t afford to provoke!"
Seeing the car was too expensive, it scared him, even though the crash had nothing to do with him.
As for Lin Xi and Shangguan Nishang, their car remained parked at the roadside, without any concern about the northeastern man and his car.
"Here?" Shangguan Nishang didn’t care about the cars coming and going, nor the curious glances from the drivers thrown their way.
"Not possible?" Lin Xi inquired.
"Not exactly!" Shangguan Nishang.
Lin Xi laid a hand on Shangguan Nishang’s thigh, then slowly moving upward, he said, "Then let’s do it!"
"Slap!" came a sound.
Shangguan Nishang just couldn’t hold back, and scolded, "You’re serious, huh?"
"What do you think?"
"I thought it was....."
"Fake?"
"...."
"When did I ever lie?" "Besides, doing what we say, isn’t that a delightful thing? I, um, most dislike those who obviously like something, yet act shy!"
"You..."
"Also, in this car, no one outside can see what’s going on inside, right!"
"That’s true!"
"So, what are we afraid of?"
"But this is a public road!"
"So what? Who can tell us off? Plus, we’re not causing any traffic accidents!"
This is indeed the case!
Such an expensive car, other cars seeing it from afar would steer clear.
Fearful of hitting it.
After all, a single hit would be a debt you can’t repay in this lifetime.
"Hmph, shameless!"
Shangguan Nishang said these words and no longer paid attention to Lin Xi.
She drove the car away from there.
After all, she was someone who obeyed traffic rules.
Though, what he said did sound thrilling!
Phooey phooey phooey! Why am I thinking about this?
How am I such a shameless and brazen person?
But she hadn’t driven far, and the car slowed down.
Because there was traffic ahead.
In a moment, they completely halted.
It appeared something happened ahead!
The two waited in the car for a while, realizing they wouldn’t be moving anytime soon, then opened the car doors and stepped out.
Just right, the northeastern guy in front glanced over at them.
That look, seeing Shangguan Nishang, carried some wicked intent.
