Chapter 212: Chapter 35: Subway

Contrary to most girls who like shopping for clothes and cosmetics, Liu Nai’s favorite shop is the Samurai Sword Shop. Seeing her please herself, wielding swords in the store without a care for others, and the satisfaction on her face after finding a right sword and making the payment, Tang Zheng suddenly felt a pang of envy. She likes her hobby to such an extent that it seems to be the foundation of her spirit, making her more resilient.

"Tang Zheng, what do you think of this replica of the Chrysanthemum Mono War Clan?" Liu Nai passed a samurai sword with a white sheath to Tang Zheng. Her attitude towards him has slightly changed since he demonstrated the Tsubamegaeshi.

"I have no clue." Tang Zheng unsheathed the sword, looked at the slender and thin blade, and the 16-petal chrysanthemum family crest near the handle, and simply shook his head. He has no interest in pretending to understand.

"Annnoying, although this sword does not have any collection value, it is a work of the Ichi-Monji Sect and can be considered a masterpiece." Liu Nai gave Tang Zheng a look, snatched the sword from him, and handed it to the shop manager, "Wrap this up for me, and those three as well."

Zhang Yifeng covered his mouth, watched Tang Zheng and Liu Nai talk and felt jealous. But after Miyamoto knocked out a few of his teeth, he had to keep his mouth shut. He didn’t want Liu Nai to see his disgraceful appearance.

"Your swords." The shop manager handed the four cloth-wrapped swords to Liu Nai, but she shook her hand to refuse and pointed at Tang Zheng, "The Chrysanthemum Mono is for him."

"Give a man a samurai sword? What does that mean?" Tang Zheng joked, "You don’t have any ulterior motives, do you?"

"Humph, it’s just a thank you gift for showing me Tsubamegaeshi." Liu Nai turned her head and, with three swords on her shoulder, walked out of the sword store.

"Oh, I’m relieved. I thought you wanted to steal my technique." Tang Zheng followed her, deliberately provoking her, "Of course, if you serve me well, like pouring tea, folding blankets, maybe I would teach you a trick or two."

"Dream on." Although Liu Nai really wanted to learn Tsubamegaeshi, she refused to admit it. However, deep down she was already considering it and felt that these efforts were worth the secret of Tsubamegaeshi.

"If I survive a few rounds in the game, I will definitely be stronger than you. What are you showing off?" Seeing the two of them ’flirting’, Zhang Yifeng made up his mind to earn more points, strengthen his body, and show these people a thing or two.

Once they entered the subway station, Liu Nai seemed to forget about Tang Zheng’s teasing and brought up a new topic, "Could I take a look at your bronze sword? It was able to cut my sword with a single hit. It must be some famous work, right?"

Tang Zheng habitually scanned the surroundings. There were many citizens waiting for the subway on the platform. The most conspicuous ones were a group of girls in high school uniforms with book bags. Besides one girl wearing black stockings, everyone else exposed their thighs. Even if they made big movements which caused their skirts to flutter, their panties could be seen. However, Tang Zheng was not interested in them. He only glanced at them once and moved his eyes away. The three office ladies in pink uniforms sitting on the bench to his left were eye-catching.

"Hey, didn’t you hear me?" Liu Nai followed Tang Zheng’s gaze, huffed, and pouted.

"Your request is so much better ignored, forcing me to outright reject it is so awkward." After roughly estimating the number of people waiting at the subway station, Tang Zheng frowned, "Can we find another way home? It’s too crowded."

"Stingy, AHO." The blue and white painted subway arrived and opened the doors. Without responding to anyone, Liu Nai ran up a few steps and got on.

It was already too late for Tang Zheng to pull back, as the crowd had rushed in, completely blocking his way out.

"If all these people turned into aliens, that would be fun." Bai Guo muttered, bracing himself and ready to fight.

The subway station being in an urban area meant that the carriage was filled with people, crowded shoulder to shoulder. The men standing next to women were relishing, as they had a chance to sneak in a subtle grope. Tang Zheng, however, disliked such crowded environments.

"At least stick to the side of the carriage, don’t let yourself be surrounded!" An office lady girl was standing close in front of him, he dodged and tried to squeeze next to Liu Nai. He then grabbed her hand and moved her next to the carriage wall.

Being over 1.8 meter tall, Tang Zheng took up considerable space, his movement caused inconvenience to the other passengers in the carriage.

"Sorry, please excuse me." Tang Zheng’s action undoubtedly earned him many dissatisfied glares, even Liu Nai felt embarrassed and shook off his hand, "What are you doing?"

"Avoiding that lady in front, she was secretly touching my thighs." Tang Zheng lowered his voice and spoke in Chinese, not fearing being understood by others. If he directly told Liu Nai about the alien, she certainly would not believe it. Plus, if nothing really happens, she would simply dismiss him as a paranoid and put her guard down, which would be very dangerous in the future.

"It’s better to use a joke-like excuse to persuade her." When a person is in a good mood, they will generally not reject requests. This is the psychology that Tang Zheng wanted to utilize.

"Puhah, what nonsense are you saying." Liu Nai did not refuse this time, she even sneaked a glance at the woman who was standing in front of Tang Zheng just now, "She is quite pretty, you surely didn’t lose out."

Under the gaze of the passengers, it was not convenient for Tang Zheng to keep moving, so he sighed and stopped.

"Oh, so you have a taste for this kind." Liu Nai seemed to have discovered a new continent, mocked him, and glanced at Tang Zheng disdainfully.

"Huh?" Tang Zheng was puzzled, and then saw Liu Nai pointing at the front. The group of high school girls that he saw earlier were standing there.

Tang Zheng laughed bitterly, he was being misjudged as a pervert.

"Sorry, excuse me," Zhang Yifeng didn’t want those two alone together, so he squeezed his way over using the double strength of the protective clothing. This led to a more significant chain reaction. Firstly, Liu Nai was squeezed by the crowd into Tang Zheng, which toppled him into a group of high school girls. To steady himself, he unconsciously reached out. He quickly realized his mistake.

It was soft, fleshy, and it felt very much like a girl’s chest. Tang Zheng looked up and, sure enough, the girl in front was bowing her head, her face blushing red as she stared at Tang Zheng’s hand that was grabbing her chest.

"I’m sorry." Tang Zheng quickly let go and apologized, pointing at Liu Nai to prove his innocence, "She just agreed to be my girlfriend, so I would never do such a thing in front of her."

"Who is your girlfriend!" Although Liu Nai was somewhat impressed by Tang Zheng’s clever reaction, she didn’t intend to let him off so easily.

"See, she’s definitely mad now." Tang Zheng said, attempting to win favor by showing off his sunny smile and concerned expression.

At first, the high school girls were outraged, glaring at Tang Zheng. But upon seeing Liu Nai’s angry expression, they seemed to sympathize with Tang Zheng.

"Maybe he will get dumped."

"He is quite handsome, now that he faces rejection, it’s perfect. I’m going after him." The high school girls whispered unscrupulously, joking with each other that made Liu Nai’s face turn darker.

"Phew, I dodged a bullet there." Tang Zheng wiped away the nonexistent sweat from his brow, and looked at Liu Nai with a smile, "Your little tricks have no effect on me."

"You..." Liu Nai was so angry she felt like she was about to explode, her previously good impression of Tang Zheng vanished instantly. She then came up with a new idea.

"Why aren’t you staying together with us? It’s dangerous." Zhang Yifeng squeezed his way over to them and scolded Tang Zheng. Still, he was speaking with a lisp because he had lost two teeth, making his pronunciation unclear.

Tang Zheng ignored him and quietly admired the samurai sword in his hand.

Liu Nai timidly glanced around to make sure nobody was paying attention to her. Then she reached out, her hand going for the thigh of the high school girl who stood before them. She quickly retracted her hand after a light brush, feigning innocence.

The long-haired high school girl turned around suspiciously, but saw nothing suspicious. She then turned back and continued chatting with her friend.

"She hardly reacted? Was it because my touch wasn’t firm enough?" Liu Nai guiltily reached out her hand again, groped harder this time, and quickly pulled back. Thanks to years of Kendo practice, her upper body was still, making it difficult to see the movement of her small arm.

The high school girl instantly twisted her head, with anger on her face. She couldn’t believe she encountered a subway pervert who was also rough enough to hurt her. Her gaze passed over Liu Nai, dismissing her, then she focused on Tang Zheng due to his proximity. However, Tang Zheng was currently fascinated with the forged cloud patterns on his sword. The high school girl then looked towards Zhang Yifeng standing nearby.

Zhang Yifeng was confused but he politely smiled, thinking maybe the girl was interested in him.

The high school girl was unable to find any evidence and didn’t want to scream. She sneered and leaned forward slightly.

"Haha, this high school girl is quite stupid, she should have grabbed Tang Zheng and yelled, ’Pervert!’." Liu Nai said, expressionless, but was seething with rage in her heart. She was especially rough this time, pinching the girl’s thigh.

The high school girl jumped up, turned around, and found Zhang Yifeng’s gaze fixed on an office lady’s chest with a ’lewd’ smile. Poor little Zhang had become the scapegoat.

"Pervert." The high school girl muttered, though she didn’t have any evidence and could do nothing but complain to her friends. From that moment, the high school girls feigned indifference, but they were secretly watching him.

Liu Nai, noticing the change in atmosphere, knew that she would be caught if she made a move again, so she could only seethe silently.

Five minutes later, the high school girls got off the train at their stop. Because they couldn’t identify the pervert, they all glared viciously at Zhang Yifeng, leaving him completely befuddled.

Taking advantage of the situation, Bai Guo and Tie Ying hurried over to meet them, and the group moved toward the car’s wall. However, they were still in the center of the carriage, which somewhat disappointed Tang Zheng’s hopes.

"Now it’s an office lady?" Liu Nai continued her evil plan. To frame Tang Zheng without fail, she even changed her position to position Tang Zheng right behind the woman, "Let’s see how you escape this time."
