Yang Zhen grabbed the cat’s tail, pulled off Lu Baichi’s storage ring, and headed towards the street without uttering a word. As he walked away, everyone he passed instinctively parted to make a path.
No one expected Yang Zhen to kill so decisively, without any hesitation. His lethal, ruthless action was worthy of an executioner, crushing Lu Baichi’s head with a single hammer blow.
Who would dare mess with Yang Zhen now?
Yang Zhen left toward the crowd, his expression dumbfounded. The cat he dragged by the tail kept yowling and meowing, its claws scratching the ground and leaving traces everywhere.
“Kid, let go! If you’re so eager to die, don’t drag me into it. It’s over now. You killed Lu Baichi with one blow. You’re finished. If those old bastards come, they’ll slap you dead!”
The cat kept crying, scratching the ground with a shrill voice, “Let go, dammit! There’s something I need to take care of. Once I’ve sorted it out, I’ll see you in ten or eight years!”
“I’m hungry,” Yang Zhen suddenly interjected, as if talking to himself.
“You let go…huh?” The cat stared wide-eyed and asked eagerly, “What are we eating today, cumin lamb or kung pao chicken? I prefer spicy chicken. Why not make spicy chicken today?”
“Sure!”
Everyone’s gaze followed Yang Zhen until he and the cat disappeared at the street corner. Then someone screamed, sparking an uproar amongst the crowd.
“He’s dead. Lu Baichi is dead?”
“Could he be alive with his head smashed into pieces?”
“Yang Zhen is bold. He killed Lu Baichi without a word. He is doomed now. Elder Gu can’t save his life.”
“Humph! Elder Gu only gave him an island card because he appreciated his talent. Now that Yang Zhen has gone this wild, not even Elder Gu would offend Mt. Hua’s inheritance for his sake.”
Every practitioner present emerged from their shock, their faces pale and conversation buzzing. They glanced fearfully toward the street corner, apprehensive that the brutally cruel Yang Zhen might suddenly return.
Wang Meiling let out a deep breath, staring at Lu Baichi’s headless body, half of it still on the ground. She opened her mouth but didn’t say anything.
The middle-aged man standing beside her wore an unsettled expression while watching Wang Meiling with a look that suggested he wanted to say something.
Wang Meiling shook her head and said, “I know what you want to say. I need to think about this matter. Let’s go in and take a look.”
With that, she led the man into the blacksmith’s shop amidst the stunned eyes of everyone present.
Soon after, a shocked feminine exclamation echoed from inside the blacksmith’s shop.
Nightfall!
Kid, didn’t you say you wanted to keep a low profile? So why did you kill that idiot?” The cat ran towards Yang Zhen as it wolfed down food, speaking in bewilderment.
Yang Zhen smacked it with a spoon and said, “You have the nerve to ask me? Weren’t you the one who told me to stir things up?”
The cat, outraged, stated with innocent eyes, ”1 didn’t tell you to kill. Now what? I hear Mt. Hua’s faction has such influence that even Old Man Gu gives them respect. If Mt. Hua wants to avenge the dead, what will we do? Hey, why not leave this place? It’s boring anyway.”
“Aren’t you curious about the Eastern Desolation Emperor’s imperial trace?” Yang Zhen glanced at the cat and asked.
The cat quickly shook its head, “What’s so interesting about the Eastern Desolation Emperor’s trace? Even after looking at it, I couldn’t tell what it might be, let alone some sightseeing or activities.”
Yang Zhen looked curiously at the cat, then frowned, “You keep telling me to mess things up and that it’s for my own good, but how and why is it good for me?”
Grinning mischievously, the cat said, “Now you know there’s no benefit for you. Anyway, just keep stirring things up. When you finally understand, you’ll be thanking me!”
Sometimes, Yang Zhen wished he could grab the cat, smash its head open, and see what the hell was inside.
In any case, Yang Zhen couldn’t understand how causing trouble would be beneficial in the future.
“On the topic of that, are you leaving or not?” The cat carried a plate of cumin lamb from in front of Yang Zhen over to his side, devouring it voraciously as if he never got full.
No! Yang Zhen picked his teeth, “I’m not going anywhere until I see the imperial trace.”
“And you killed Lu Baichi?”
“What, you think he wouldn’t have killed me if I’d let him live?” Yang Zhen reflexively cursed, “You didn’t see the look in his eyes. It was as if he wanted to devour me bit by bit, even with sauce. Such scumbags can’t be allowed to live.”
“Why do I get the feeling that he was scared out of his wits at that time?”
They chatted aimlessly until there was a knock at the door.
“Who cares enough to look for me in the dark?” Yang Zhen glared at the cat, “Go answer the door!”
“Why me?” Scamp the cat’s eyes widened as if he wanted to glare back.
Yang Zhen lounged back and said, “I plan to have a full meal and practice boxing, would you accompany me?”
“Damn!”
After Scamp opened the door, he made a surprised sound and asked, “Little girl, are you looking for me?”
A yellow-clothed young girl at the door seemed taken aback at the question, stumbled a bit, looking awkward, and then hesitantly asked, “Is… is Young ’ Master Yang here?”
Scamp scoffed and turned his head to say, “Scoundrel Yang, someone’s looking for you!”
Yang Zhen was surprised, then laughed, “Miss, what do you need from me?”
The yellow-clothed girl blushed, lowered her head, and said, “Young Master
Yang, my lady invites you to the grove behind the hill.”
The grove?” Yang Zhen was baffled and asked, “Who is your lady?”
“You’ll know once Young Master Yang goes, this humble servant will take her leave first.”
Having said that, the yellow-clothed girl left without turning back.
Yang Zhen and Scamp looked at each other. Suddenly, Scamp exclaimed, “No, we can’t go. It must be someone from the blessed land of Mountain Hua.”
Yang Zhen grabbed Scamp and said, “Use that pig brain of yours. If the people from the blessed land of Mountain Hua came, would they send a girl to invite me?”
“Damn it, it’s a kylin brain I have here, not a pig brain. Let go of me, I can walk on my own.”
“No can do, I need to disguise you a little to prevent others from recognizing you.”
“Why don’t you disguise yourself?”
I have a thousand faces, I can change my appearance at will!”
“Ouch, what did you do to me?”
“Starting now, you’re a puppy, bark twice, let’s hear it?”
“No, that’s not right, you’re still the same, why do I have to act like a dog while you don’t change your appearance?”
‘Tve already changed, it’s just only smart people can detect the change, pig brains wouldn’t understand.”
“Damn it, are you playing me?”
Upon reaching the grove, Yang Zhen hesitated a bit.
“What are you waiting for?” Scamp, having obstinately refused to act like a dog, cast a sidelong glance at Yang Zhen and asked.
Yang Zhen rubbed his hands and said, “The grove… I’m this old and have never had a rendezvous with a girl in the grove before.”
“How shameful!”
“Damn it, as if you’ve ever had experience with female cats!”
“It was a female kylin, I’ll have you know…”
The two bantered all the way, not at all bored. They hadn’t gone far before they heard an enchanting voice saying, “You’re here!”
Yang Zhen and Scamp glanced at each other, turned around, and started to leave.
“Yang Zhen, stop right there!” Wang Meiling emerged angrily from behind a rock and snapped, “Do you know how much risk I took to see you?”
Looking curiously at this woman whose appearance and demeanor were tempting enough to incite men to crime, Yang Zhen asked, “Why do you always seek me? And how do you know I can help you?”
Wang Meiling chuckled, her phoenix eyes locked onto Yang Zhen, and said, “Because you have great luck!”
“Give me a break!” Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, “Miss, I have a piece of advice for you.”
“I’m listening!”
“Fate is in your own hands, your appearance is a reflection of your heart. Don’t always believe in these nonsensical things, it’s better to keep your feet on the ground. Be willing to try. If you don’t try, how will you ever know just how bad failure feels?”
Upon saying this, Yang Zhen paused and spouted, “That’s not right, what I meant is, if you don’t try, you’ll never know that it’s truly not possible for you, damn, never mind…”.
“It was the Astrology Master who told me to find you.”
Yang Zhen was taken aback and just about to speak when Scamp suddenly widened his eyes and asked in astonishment, “Who?”
