Divine Card Creator - Chapter 272
Chapter 272: Come and Humiliate Me!
Qing Ming City.
All of a sudden, cracks covered the entire downtown area.
There were no warning signs.
They came and disappeared quickly.
A sinister and uncanny aura emanated from the cracks, seemingly signaling the pending birth of a certain mysterious and powerful thing or a…
“Spirit body!”
A nearby cultivator was thrilled.
Just as they wanted to give up, something finally happened. Given the situation, it was highly possible that a spirit body was going to be born!
“I’ve waited for ages,” a cultivator who was obviously older said.
Didn’t they come here for spirit bodies?!
They had waited it out!
“Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!”
A group of cultivators was on the move.
Almost all the foreign cultivators in Qing Ming City rushed downtown and began to search the cracks in the area.
Buzz—
Buzz—
The detecting devices were shining fervently.
The aura in the cracks actually triggered a response.
“It’s actually true!”
“I just don’t know where it is!”
“Perhaps it’s in a particular crack!”
“Look for it!”
Downtown had been swamped by a group of foreign cultivators…
Shop owners whose shops were either open or closed were disturbed by these cultivators, who were holding the devices and walking around in their homes. No one dared to go against them.
After all…
They were only low-level cultivators.
…
Right then, the policemen also took actions immediately.
However, facing this group of fervent cultivators, they had no way of dealing with them either. These cultivators were too powerful and their numbers were horrifying…
“Tell them that if they kill any citizen of Qing Ming City, they’ll be blacklisted by the police!” the police chief instructed.
“Yes.”
Zhang Wei accepted the order.
They directly sent the message to all the cultivators who understood with one glance. Who would kill the people here for no reason?!
Even those who normally carried out evil deeds would not stir up any trouble right under the policemen’s nose!
They came for the spirit body!
…
At this very moment…
Lu Ming and Xiaobai witnessed this chaos which took everyone by surprise.
Finally…
Something happened.
Looking at the fissures on the ground, Lu Ming had an inexplicable feeling that they were very similar to those that he had previously seen in the school field. It resembled a certain omen!
For example—
The time the bar spirit appeared!
“Do you spirit bodies have to wreck the ground when you come out?”
Lu Ming was expressionless.
Xiao-Xiaojian was enraged. “Of course not!”
“Then why did you destroy the school field?” Lu Ming asked.
“It’s really not me…”
Xiao-Xiaojian could not be bothered to comment. “The appearance of the spirit body did not have anything to do with the collapse of the ground! The timings happened to coincide. It’s merely a coincidence.”
“What about this time?”
Lu Ming looked at the cracks beneath his feet which had already spread to the middle of the shop.
Damn!
They had to spend money for renovation again!
Why did this always coincide with the appearance of spirit bodies?
Hehe.
“God knows.”
Xiao-Xiaojian felt helpless.
Cracks…
Who the hell knows why there are cracks?!
Cracks are appearing because Qing Ming City is not hardy enough. On what basis must spirit bodies become the scapegoats?!
I only want to quietly and gradually recover my energy. Cracks and all that jazz will only expose me. Would I do such a stupid thing?!
Click!
Click!
Two other cracks emerged.
Due to the collapse of the ground, slight cracks were also appearing on the walls. The renovated walls had also cracked and looked extremely ugly now…
“It’ll cost a lot.”
Xiaobai’s heart ached a little.
All these renovations needed money!
“Master… Can we get someone to pay for this?” Xiaobai said quietly.
She loved to watch the balance in the bank account grow. It felt good, especially when she was the one diligently managing this little home in the shop.
It was such a wonderful feeling.
“I’m afraid Old Jiang won’t reimburse this.”
Lu Ming sighed.
“Master!”
Xiaobai widened her eyes.
Cough, cough.
Lu Ming coughed. “Don’t worry, Master will get someone to reimburse this…”
“Really?”
Xiaobai blinked her eyes.
“Yes.”
Lu Ming rubbed her tiny head. “When have I ever been shortchanged? Haha. Even if an ancient sword spirit stirs up trouble, I can make it take responsibility, much less a spirit body!”
“Okay.”
Xiaobai was elated.
Xiao-Xiaojian was expressionless.
What did I do to provoke you?!
Buzz—
Buzz—
A distance away, a few people were holding onto detection devices and scanning the area fervently.
“Xiaobai. Bring the things that you need first,” Lu Ming instructed.
“Okay.”
Xiaobai immediately went to pack up.
Lu Ming called Jiang Feng and discovered that Old Jiang had switched off his phone again at this critical moment… He reckoned that his journey on the run had begun again.
So unreliable.
Lu Ming sighed.
Forget it.
He would send her to the police.
Lu Ming contacted Zhang Wei and simply sent her to the police headquarters, which was the safest place in Qing Ming City now!
However…
Xiaobai’s bag looked fully packed…
“What did you put inside?” Lu Ming asked quietly.
She remembered that Xiaobai did not have any cosmetic products. Most likely, she only had a few cards!
“Books,” Xiaobai said softly.
“What book?”
Lu Ming was curious.
If they were textbooks, he remembered that Xiaobai had already finished reading them… Given Xiaobai’s memory, she should have memorized all of them. Why was she bringing books under such circumstances?
“It’s… just books!”
Xiaobai looked flustered. “Aye! Master, leave! If those guys tear down the shop, we won’t have a home anymore…”
“Okay, okay, okay.”
Lu Ming felt helpless. He could only leave.
At this very moment…
Zhang Wei led Xiaobai into the office.
“Rest here for the time being.
There’s water and food. If you’re hungry, you can go to the canteen downstairs. It’s all free of charge. Just don’t leave this building. Be good and obedient,” Zhang Wei said gently.
“Sure.”
Xiaobai nodded.
Zhang Wei waited for a long time.
Afterward…
He could only leave with an odd feeling.
This was strange.
He remembered that this young lady used to speak with an adorable accent in the past. However, he waited for a long time and the accent did not appear…
Where was the cuteness?!
Had the cuteness disappeared?!
What was the reason?
Was it because his looks were ordinary and thus he was not qualified to hear it?!
“Xiaobai, is it because I look frightening?” Zhang Wei asked gently.
Xiaobai shook her head.
“Why don’t you speak then?”
Zhang Wei tried to sound friendly.
“Master said that I should try my best not to trouble others when I’m outside. I have to be clear and concise when I speak and should not use any dialect or accent,” Xiaobai said seriously.
This was what her master taught her and she had remembered it by heart.
Be good.
Be obedient.
“I see.”
Zhang Wei had a look of understanding.
This child…
She was so sensible that his heart ached for her.
“I thought that you were shunning me for being ugly.”
Zhang Wei could not stifle his laugh.
“Of course not,” Xiaobai said seriously, “I won’t judge a person by their looks.”
“Good.”
Zhang Wei felt validated.
This child was really sensible. Afterward…
He recovered his senses.
Wait a minute.
Why did he feel somewhat upset after hearing her words?
…
Zhang Wei left in a daze.
Xiaobai looked around cautiously and then gingerly took out the small booklets from her school bag. The books were titled “Facts about dressing in female clothing.”
There were also important points that Little Lu Ming had highlighted in them.
“These are master’s books.”
Xiaobai’s bright and dewy eyes were filled with curiosity. Her horizons were widened when she read the books.
“It turns out that… Master likes this kind of book?”
…
At this very moment…
Lu Ming had already returned to the shop.
Well…
The shop was full of cracks.
The glass display cabinet was wobbling. Lu Ming simply put everything away and threw miscellaneous things under the bed.
What had happened was a sudden calamity!
Forget about the last time where the koi came knocking on his door. This time, the spirit bodies directly collapsed the downtown area.
Why did they have to do that?
“You spirit bodies really won’t let humans have easy lives.”
Lu Ming sighed.
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
“Nevertheless, this is also great.”
Lu Ming’s gaze suddenly turned cold. “I can test my current ability!”
What was his current ability?
A beginner four-star!
Combat ability?
Conservatively, it was beginner five-star!
In the past, he could fight a peak four-star head-on. Now that he had broken through to four-star, his ability had increased tremendously and it should not be a problem for him to fight a beginner five-star!
Of course.
This was merely a conservative estimate.
His true combat ability could only be tested in actual combat.
It was just as nice…
This was also Lu Ming’s chance.
He was well aware that he belonged to the type who was extremely afraid of death.
Some people were fond of combat and could attain breakthroughs during combat. The more they fought, the stronger they became!
As for him…
If it was possible…
He was certainly the type who would roll fireballs in the depths of the hills and forest until he became an invincible grandmaster before he would be willing to come out of seclusion…
That was safer!
In a place such as Tian Du City where five-star and six-stars were akin to dogs and big shots were running around everywhere, Lu Ming was still very low-profile because it was dangerous!
But this time…
Hehe…
The group of people who came to Qing Ming City seemed to be at most five-star?
It seemed that the powerful ones would only come when the spirit bodies truly appeared. They could not be bothered to come to this place to wait. It would be a waste of time!
After all…
Typically, five-star was already considered very powerful!
Especially in Qing Ming City!
Besides…
The vocation cores that he stored in his body were almost depleted. It was time to stock up again. The effect of this thing was more potent than he thought!
“Xiao-Xiaojian, it’s time for us to fight!”
Lu Ming’s heart was stirring.
Shush!
When he stepped out of the doors, two cultivators holding onto detection devices were walking to him. Just as they wanted to enter his shop, Lu Ming cast a murderous and provocative gaze at them.
Shush!
Their eyes met!
Suddenly, a chilly atmosphere spread in the air.
Come on!
The bustling energy in Lu Ming’s body was about to emerge.
“Lu Ming?”
That cultivator was stunned.
“Do you know him?” the cultivator beside him asked.
“Didn’t I tell you before? He’s the younger brother of Lu Yan. He’s a spirit body demon killer. A few spirit bodies in Qing Ming City have suffered under his vicious hands…
“He’s extremely strange and mysterious.
“Be it six-star or five-star, they can’t escape from his clutches!”
The cultivator swallowed his saliva as he spoke.
“Damn!
“He’s that scary?”
His companion was also beginning to feel nervous.
“It’s not just that…
“His elder sister is even more horrifying. I heard that ever since she attained six-star, she has been fighting with everyone and beaten many famous six-stars… If you hit her younger brother…”
“Damn,” the cultivator said nervously, “Let’s leave, leave, leave. Hurry, let’s go…”
With that…
The duo gave a gentle and respectful bow to Lu Ming and then left.
Lu Ming was speechless.
They left just like that?
Couldn’t they give him some face…
On the surface, he was merely an ordinary beginner four-star…
Weaklings!
One of you is a peak four-star and the other a beginner five-star but you actually turned around and escaped? What do you mean? Aren’t cultivators strict about levels?
You’re a dignified five-star cultivator and you don’t want your face too?!
However…
The duo left without any hesitation…
Lu Ming did not have a choice.
Moments later.
He saw someone coming and directly lounged at them. In the end, the other person ran as soon as he saw Lu Ming approaching. He did not even give him a chance to speak.
Crap!
Lu Ming was dumbstruck for a long time.
Did they need to go to this extent?!
However…
He did not know that a legend about him had already begun to spread…
“Have you heard about it? Lu Ming has appeared.”
“Wow, that devil who specializes in killing spirit bodies?!”
“It’s him!”
“Hurry!”
“Quickly find the spirit body. We must not give Lu Ming any chance! There have been times when he accidentally saw spirit bodies and simply killed them…”
“R-right.”
The people hastened to find the spirit bodies.
As to killing Lu Ming?
They merely thought about it.
Most of the cultivators who came all the way to Qing Ming City after hearing rumors about spirit bodies appearing were itinerant cultivators…
Would these people provoke Lu Ming?
Would they offend Lu Yan’s younger brother?
They would not dare to not even if they had ten guts!
…
“Am I that famous now?”
Lu Ming was deep in his thoughts.
After pondering the situation, he simply fished out a surgical mask from his house and wore it. He then changed into another set of clothes. There should no longer be a problem?
He was out to look for trouble this time!
He wanted to test his own ability!
He wanted to teach these foreign cultivators a lesson!
He wanted to find a scapegoat for his damaged shop!
Shush!
Lu Ming stepped out in large strides.
The simple and plain surgical mask made him look more mysterious. At the sight of a crowded spot, he instinctively headed there and wanted to start a fight.
However…
Just as he walked over.
Wow—
The crowd dispersed.
“Lu Ming is here!”
“Let’s go!”
“Quickly, let’s go!” someone said in a low voice.
One by one, groups of four-star and five-star cultivators left.
“Is that really Lu Ming?”
“How did you recognize him?”
“Of course! Most cultivators look worn out. There are very few good-looking cultivators. There are even fewer ones who will dress up. Who would waste precious time in dressing up?! Look at Lu Ming’s eyes… They are so big and good-looking. Clearly, he has done something to them…
“Perhaps he even did a double eyelid surgery!”
“It makes sense…”
“That’s not true. I’ve seen many celebrity cultivators and sons from rich families who are good-looking too!”
“Do you think they will come here?”
“You’re right.”
The cultivators left hurriedly.
Leaving behind Lu Ming, whose face was turning increasingly black…
Damn!
You’re the one who put on makeup!
You’re the one who did double eyelid surgery!
Do I need that kind of thing?!
This is genetics, understand?!
Unrivaled beauty, do you know what that is?!
Furthermore, there are so many of you who are foreign five-star and four-star cultivators. Aren’t you guys usually very ill-tempered? Since when are you guys that rule-abiding?
Come and challenge me!
Come and humiliate me!
