Chapter 431: Why Did You Scratch Me?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The house was very simple. It was an ordinary wooden house furnished with a bed and a wooden cabinet, but the place where a table should be located was empty. In all likelihood, the missing table was the table outside.However, the most attention grabbing thing in the room was a head that looked like a lion with six short-angled horns on it.
At the moment when Ren Baqian stepped into the entrance, this head suddenly opened its eyes. At the same time, the vibe of a ferocious beast welcomed him. It seemed that it was no longer a head, but a four meter long ferocious beast that was going to pounce on him.
The ferocity in the eyes of this fierce beast, as well as the compelling vibe, made him have no doubt that he would be torn apart by the beast in the next second.It was as if Ren Baqian’s heart was being gripped by a huge hand. The next moment, he subconsciously fished out his gun from the back of his waist.
Rumble! A crisp and clear rumble could be heard from its throat, and like a thunderclap, it rang inside Ren Baqian’s head.
Ren Baqian suddenly woke up from this hallucination and saw that the eyes of the head on the wall were still open. Its pair of eyes were entirely black, just like a pitch-black vortex that was going to suck souls inside.
Lin Qiaole, who was beside him, was staring at the head on the wall. She was still producing a rumbling noise in her throat. After looking at her hands carefully, the old man realized that her fingernails were a centimeter long. The old man sized up Lin Qiaole with a strange gaze. Soon after, he let out a melancholy shout, “Quiet!”
A steel nail was ejected from his hand and burrowed into the beast’s head.
Immediately, Ren Baqian heard a roar and that head closed its eyes. Lin Qiaole also resentfully quieted down. She secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and her gaze never left the beast’s head.
“Senior, this is…?” Ren Baqian couldn’t help but to clarify his doubts. Although he had seen many things in this world, such as the Elongation Saber and the chain in his head, he clearly understood that he still didn’t know much about this world. Nevertheless, the abnormality of this head still frightened him.It was as if this head was alive.
“Back in the day, I encountered a ferocious beast in the Sixty Thousand Mountains with my teacher. It has been so many years, but it is still not content.” As the old man glanced at the head on the wall, his eyes revealed that he was reminiscing about memories from the past.”It’s still alive?” Ren Baqian’s voice cracked.
“How can it be alive in such a state?” the old man broke into laughter and questioned Ren Baqian back.
It didn’t have a body. Only its head, which had experienced an unknown number of years, was left hanging on the wall. No matter how they looked at it, it couldn’t die again. Yet, Ren Baqian personally experienced that the beast’s head had blinked and roared.
“Then what was that just now…?” Ren Baqian was puzzled.
“It’s dead, but shows no signs of rigor mortis,” the old man said indifferently.
“Can I trade something for it?” Lin Qiaole’s eyes were shining as she pointed at the beast head.
“Oh? What do you want to trade for it?” The old man couldn’t help but laugh.
“These. They are much more valuable than that thing.” Lin Qiaole grabbed a bunch of candy from her tube top and took out three White Rabbit Creamy Candies. From her expression, it could be seen that her heart was aching.
Three White Rabbit Creamy Candies was her limit.
“What are these?” The old man looked at the things in Lin Qiaole’s hand with curiosity. He had never seen such things before. Ren Baqian silently snatched the three candies over and placed another three candies in her hand.
Even though she was an unsophisticated girl, he felt sorry to see that she was being taken advantage of.
“The three candies I had were bigger! Give me another one!”
He didn’t expect Lin Qiaole to raise an objection.
Ren Baqian was at a loss for words.
He silently took back the three White Rabbit Creamy Candies in her hand. After that, he placed the candies that were warmed by his own hand back into her palm. He couldn’t be bothered with her any longer.
“Milk candies! They are very tasty! You will not be able to find them anywhere else.” Lin Qiaole made a solemn vow.
“Forget it. This thing is dead, but shows no signs of rigor mortis. It’s useless even if you take it.” The old man shook his head.
“Lets duel. If I win, give that head to me.” Lin Qiaole knew that the trade had failed and immediately resorted to seizing that head openly. However, this result was just the way she wanted it to be because she would save three White Rabbit Creamy Candies.
“What do you want that jiexue’s head for?” The old man was a little puzzled.
“It seems really delicious…” Lin Qiaole was beginning to salivate as she looked at the jiexue’s head. “Are you ready? I’m going to make a move.”
Lin Qiaole actually had the cheek to warn her opponent.
The old man was speechless.
“Let’s go outside. I want to see the strength of an expert who is slightly stronger than me.” The old man stretched out his hand and gestured. It seemed like he hadn’t forgotten the gesture of “Heaven and Earth” that Lin Qiaole had made previously. Lin Qiaole gracefully jumped up and landed in the courtyard.
The old man smiled at Ren Baqian and walked out at his own pace.
Just as Ren Baqian followed them outside, he saw two figures colliding into each other. After that, he couldn’t see the two of them clearly. It was as if two gusts of wind were colliding into each other.
The sound of their bodies clashing was constantly heard. Just as they began their duel, more than ten silhouettes appeared in the courtyard. All of their faces were filled with wrinkles, and some of them couldn’t even straighten their backs.
Back in the day, these people were experts. Upon sensing that there was a fight going on, they dashed over to observe the battle.
“Ah!” In less than a minute, a miserable scream could be heard. It was that old man. Ren Baqian finally felt at ease since it seemed like Lin Qiaole didn’t suffer any losses.
“Stop! I’m not fighting anymore!” A moment later, the old man shouted at the top of his lungs again. His figure gradually materialized from the afterimages.
The old man’s clothes were tattered, his face was full of scratch marks, and his expression was full of complex emotions.
Among Spirit Wheel experts, he wasn’t even considered weak. He was one of the top experts in Tianjing Basin, so losing to such a young girl made him look bad.
What was more unsightly was his opponent’s tactics!
Why did she scratch people?
Furthermore, she particularly scratched at one’s face. Didn’t she know what was meant by not hitting someone in the face during a brawl? Originally, even if the old man lost, he was prepared to say that the younger generation would eventually surpass the elderly. At most, he would be shocked when guessing the other party’s origins. Even if he was more disappointed, he would just admit that he was advancing in age. At such a young, even if she started cultivating in her mother’s womb, how could she be so powerful?
At this moment, however, he didn’t have these thoughts anymore. His brain was filled with… Who did this girl learn from? Why did she scratch people?Everyone saw the situation in the yard and looked at Lin Qiaole, who was licking her paws, before looking at the old village chief again. Their expressions weren’t the best. Qingyun Sword, who had been known in the world for many years, was actually defeated by the hands of a little girl? The Qingyun Sword that overtook the world… where did he go?
“Qingyun Sword? Pfft, those old bones of yours are going to be buried soon.” The expression of a lofty old man with white hair was unsightly. In the end, he ruthlessly swore and jumped up, landing tens of kilometers away. In no time, he was nowhere to be seen.
“Old! We are all old!” Another elder shook his head and sighed.
The majority of the people turned around and left.
Qingyun Sword was the name of the old village chief, a name that was known to many, and also a symbol of a certain era.
At present, he was actually defeated by a young girl. This made everyone rather disappointed.
The old man’s jaw dropped and remained that way for a long time. After a long while, he finally touched his cheeks and asked faintly, “Can she not scratch other people’s faces?” Ren Baqian was speechless.
It seemed that being scratched on his face was more difficult to accept than being defeated.The old man’s lips quivered a few times before he indistinctly sighed and murmured, “Back in those days, I was confident, elegant, experienced, and talented… just from relying on this face of mine!”
Ren Baqian was astonished for some time! The shamelessness of this old man actually brought out his elegant demeanor from back in those days!
