Chapter 313: Chapter 311: The Female Thief on the Train [First Update]

"Clang!"

Xuanwu had barely raised his golden knife when a Sword Shadow suddenly sprang forth.

Instantly, he felt a numbing sensation in his arm, causing the golden knife in his hand to drop to the ground.

Xuanwu looked at the golden knife on the ground, then turned to Li Chen and demanded, "What is the meaning of this?"

"There’s no special meaning, I just think it would be a pity if you died just like that!"

Having said that, Li Chen no longer paid attention to Xuanwu and his piercing gaze swept towards Shangguan Changhong.

Shangguan Changhong got a shock, his eyes dodging, not daring to meet his gaze.

Li Chen held up two fingers and said, "This is the second time you have provoked me. There wasn’t a third time after a first and second; if there is a next time, ponder the consequences yourself!"

Shangguan Changhong felt a chill down his spine and cold sweat poured down. He wanted to speak up with the same righteousness as Xuanwu, but before he could speak, he felt like there was a fishbone stuck in his throat, choking him uncomfortably.

Li Chen glanced at him coldly, let out a loud laugh towards the sky, and left, leaving Xuanwu and Shangguan Changhong disheveled in the wind.

After a long while, Shangguan Changhong finally asked, "Senior Brother Xuanwu, who exactly is he, and why would my master entrust such an important item as the Dragon Talisman to him?"

Xuanwu was silent for a long time before replying succinctly, "His surname is Li!"

"His surname is Li?"

Shangguan Changhong mulled over this phrase, turning it over in his mouth.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his face showed a look of horror, and with disbelief written all over his face, he murmured to himself, "His surname is Li, and so is my master’s!"

After leaving Juyong Pass, Li Chen headed straight for the train station.

He bought a sleeper ticket to Guangling, ready to make a trip to the Headquarters of the Heavenly Master Sect at Heming Mountain.

At two o’clock in the morning, Li Chen was lying in his bunk, catching a little rest.

At that moment, a commotion arose in the carriage, and amidst it, words like "Don’t let that female thief escape, chase her!" could be faintly heard.

Li Chen furrowed his brows and turned over to continue sleeping. He was too lazy to bother with such trivial matters.

Suddenly!

A petite female figure rushed in front of him.

Li Chen opened his eyes and locked gaze with her.

"Quick, chase her, she ran towards that carriage ahead!"

The girl looked around anxiously and called out to Li Chen, "I’m using your spot to hide for a bit!"

Without waiting for Li Chen’s response, she lifted the blanket and slipped under it like a loach.

Just then, four or five burly men chased after her in a hurry.

"Hey, where did that little wench go, she disappeared in a blink of an eye?"

"Search around; she must be nearby, she couldn’t have gone far!"

One of the burly men, noticing that Li Chen was watching them with his eyes open, stepped forward and demanded, "Kid, have you seen a girl run by here?"

Li Chen shook his head, saying he hadn’t seen anything.

The burly man saw that Li Chen’s quilt was bulging, and something seemed to be wriggling inside, so he became suspicious.

"Kid, what’s under your quilt, lift it up!"

Li Chen resolutely shook his head and said, "It’s my girlfriend under there, I can’t lift it!"

The burly man asked doubtfully, "Your girlfriend? What are you two doing?"

Li Chen looked at him as if he were an idiot and said, "What else could we be doing, of course, we’re discussing life, and in the meantime, doing some indescribable things. Do you have a problem?"

"I suspect that female thief is hiding right here. Lift it up!"

As he spoke, the burly man reached out to pull the quilt on Li Chen’s body.

However, just as his hand stretched out, it quickly retracted as if shocked by electricity.

The burly man let out a loud cry of pain, and upon hearing the noise, his companions also gathered around.

"Tie Niu, what’s going on?" the leader with the dark face asked.

The burly man known as Tie Niu, clutching his injured arm, said, "Big brother, that female thief is in his bedding!"

The dark-faced man glanced at the hands of his subordinates, then at Li Chen, noticing his calmness, and understood immediately that this was a martial artist.

After a slight pause, he cupped his fist in a salute towards Li Chen: "Brother, we are people from Guangling Lord Long, pursuing a female thief. I hope you can accommodate us!"

Li Chen let out a cold laugh: "The one in the bed is my girlfriend, she’s still naked. Do you think I can comply with that favor?"

"Since that’s the case, then excuse us for the disturbance!" The man said as he stood up to leave.

However, just as he took two steps, he spun around abruptly and reached out to snatch the blanket.

His movement was very quick, so close to succeeding.

The moment the dark-faced man’s hand touched the corner of the blanket, he suddenly felt a chilling sensation on his neck.

He glanced sideways and was immediately startled.

A dagger inlaid with emerald gems was already placed against his neck as dark as coal. Vaguely, he could see a faint trace of blood seeping out.

Li Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, his bright eyes full of a challenging air: "Come on, let’s see whose moves are quicker?"

The dark-faced man saw Li Chen’s eyes, sharper than any sword, and immediately backed down, releasing his hand.

Seeing that the man was wise enough, Li Chen also withdrew the dagger.

He took out a napkin and wiped away the faint bloodstain, then casually asked, "What did the female thief steal from you?"

The dark-faced man hesitated for a moment before replying, "A Jade Pendant!"

Li Chen asked, "What kind of Jade Pendant?"

The man seemed hesitant to speak, his expression troubled.

At that moment, a mosquito buzzed by.

Li Chen slightly raised his eyelid, his short sword sweeping through the air, and the unfortunate mosquito was instantly decapitated, falling onto the table and twitching its legs.

"Disobey, and you die!"

Seeing Li Chen’s exquisite display of swordsmanship, the dark-faced man and his companions all felt a shock.

Even if they were fools, at this point, they had all understood that they had bitten off more than they could chew.

The dark-faced man hesitated again, then said, "It’s a dragon-shaped Jade Pendant, a hereditary treasure of our Lord Long. It was stolen by a female thief. My brothers and I have chased her for four or five thousand li and only found her trace on this train."

Li Chen wanted to ask more, but two conductors wielding rubber batons approached.

The conductors, seeing the five or six sinister-looking men, didn’t dare to approach; instead, they knocked on the carriage with their batons and shouted, "Hey, what are you guys doing? No causing trouble on the train!"

The dark-faced man glanced at the conductors, then at Li Chen.

Li Chen waved his hand at them, signaling them to scram.

The group of men from the dark-faced leader sighed in relief and slunk away.

After the group of strong men had left, the conductors came forward more boldly.

"Young man, are you alright? What were those people doing?"

Li Chen feigned a look of shock and said, "I don’t know, they said they lost something and insisted on searching my luggage."

The old and the young conductors exchanged glances, then reiterated some warnings to Li Chen to be more careful and turned to leave.

As they left, Li Chen saw them pull out a pager, seemingly calling for railway police.

Just as the conductors left, the girl crawled out from under the blanket, gasping for air and incessantly muttering about being suffocated.

It was only then that Li Chen got a clear look at the girl’s features: willow leaf-shaped eyebrows, big eyes, a melon seed-shaped face, and fine features—clearly a mischievous beauty. Additionally, her body was extremely flexible, especially at the waist, which seemed boneless. Unfortunately, her two small steamed buns beneath her neck were a bit too small. Not even a B cup, disappointing.

As soon as the girl saw Li Chen staring at her, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she feigned anger, saying, "You pervert, if you keep staring, believe it or not, I’ll gouge out your eyeballs?"

Li Chen raised his eyebrows, pointed at the girl, and said, "Beauty, right now you’re sitting on top of me. Tell me, between the two of us, who’s the real pervert?"

I went out to distribute flyers during the day; after all, I still have to eat. I apologize for the late update!
