Chapter 274 Whose general is this? How could he be so brave
Lu Chengwen had his back turned to Luo Shiyin as he put on his clothes and buckled his pants.
The two of them stood back-to-back.
Lu Chengwen picked up a bra and handed it over. "This is yours."
"Oh." Luo Shiyin took it and began putting it on. "This... is yours..."
"Ah, thank you."
Once they were fully dressed, they turned to face each other.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Luo Shiyin quickly averted her gaze, her face flushed red, not daring to meet Lu Chengwen's eyes.
"Uh..." Lu Chengwen shrugged. "We’re almost getting used to this, huh?"
Luo Shiyin raised her head, her eyes shimmering with a layer of mist. "Why? Why do you keep bullying me?"
"I... it really was just a coincidence, I swear," Lu Chengwen said earnestly. "Like something straight out of a novel—pure coincidence."
Luo Shiyin took a deep breath. "I’m already a dirty woman. Ha, what’s the point of living anymore..."
Lu Chengwen panicked, afraid she might do something rash. "This whole thing is just a misunderstanding, from start to finish! Neither of us could help it! If you're saying life is meaningless, then why did I go through so much trouble detoxifying you? You have to live on."
Luo Shiyin turned her head, her beautiful eyes overflowing with tears. "To live on and be toyed with and humiliated by you?"
Lu Chengwen replied, "That humiliating part just now? You’re the one who added that yourself!"
"Shut up! You’re not allowed to mention it!"
"Alright, alright, I won’t mention it, I won’t mention it."
Luo Shiyin lowered her head again, muttering, "One day, I’ll kill you!"
"Kill, kill, kill, that’s all you know. From now on, don’t drink other people’s water! Don’t enter other people’s houses! And... in general, just stay away from me! Every time we meet, I end up exhausting so much energy."
"And you’re the one complaining!?"
"Fine, fine, I’m not complaining, not complaining. I took advantage of you—happy now?"
"At least you know your place."
At that moment, a figure flew across the river with lightning speed, shocking both Lu Chengwen and Luo Shiyin.
Before Lu Chengwen could even react, the person was already in front of them!
Lu Chengwen immediately pulled Luo Shiyin aside and struck out with all his might.
But his palm strike was futile. Blood spurted out of his mouth like a fountain, and he was sent flying backward, landing heavily on the ground.
Luo Shiyin lunged forward but was also struck back by a single palm strike.
The two of them lay on the ground, struggling to get up, as the person gracefully turned and perched on a large rock, even tidying the folds in their clothes.
Lu Chengwen wiped the blood from his mouth and was stunned to see the figure.
It was an old woman.
She looked quite elderly, petite in stature, with a small nose and tiny eyes, and her face was covered in wrinkles.
However, her small eyes shone brightly, and her gaze carried a commanding presence.
"Adulterer and harlot, disturbing my peace. You deserve to die."
Lu Chengwen quickly pleaded, "Senior, we realize our mistake! Please spare our lives!"
The old woman looked at Lu Chengwen with even more disdain. "A man over six feet tall, yet you cling to life and fear death, living so dishonorably. You’re not worth keeping alive!"
Lu Chengwen struggled to sit up. "Senior, there’s no law saying that being timid and wanting to live means one deserves to die! We were just—"
The old woman snapped, "I detest men who talk too much! Die!"
She struck out again, and Lu Chengwen was horrified to realize he couldn’t dodge it.
Bang!
Luo Shiyin threw herself in front of Lu Chengwen, her sword shattering. She spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed into Lu Chengwen’s arms.
Lu Chengwen was terrified. "Shiyin? Shiyin!?"
[Damn it, what’s your problem!? If you hated us so much, you could’ve just killed us earlier!]
[What’s this about!?]
Luo Shiyin could no longer endure the humiliation. She was so ashamed she wanted to die, and the only thought left in her mind was death!
“Just kill me! It’s my fault! I seduced a man! So what? The techniques I practice are exactly that kind of skill—it’s my fate!”
The old woman nodded calmly. “In that case, there’s no need for further nonsense.”
Just as Lu Chengwen was about to argue, sounds of fighting came from the distance.
Long Aotian and Zhao Ritian had returned.
The old woman grumbled, “After all this time, they’re still at it.”
Lu Chengwen stood up and shouted, “Hey! You two! You’re disturbing the senior’s rest! Get lost and fight somewhere else!”
In fact, his words were meant to be a kind warning.
Zhao Ritian turned back and glared at Lu Chengwen. “Damn it, you wait for me. After I finish him, I’ll deal with you!”
Long Aotian was also surprised. “Lu Chengwen!? Why are you here? Help me take him down! Quick! He stole my Meteorite Ice Crystal!”
Lu Chengwen kept winking at them, signaling with his eyes toward the old woman.
The old woman didn’t even turn her head. She just calmly watched Lu Chengwen’s silent gestures.
Lu Chengwen whispered, “There’s someone here! You two better leave quickly!”
“Huh!?” Long Aotian exclaimed. “An old woman? Why are you so scared of her!?”
Lu Chengwen rolled his eyes, thinking:
[Senior Brother, I’m not setting you up. You’re walking straight to your doom on your own.]
On the other side, Zhao Ritian said, “Is this old woman also one of yours? Hahaha! Fine! Today I, Zhao Ritian, will wipe you all out! Damn it, relying on some dried-up old lady for help? Pathetic!”
Lu Chengwen nodded inwardly and thought:
[Perfect! That’s the protagonist energy right there—fearless and defiant. Truly remarkable!]
[Little do you know, this book has long gone off the rails. It’s not an invincible story anymore! Now... oh well, you two idiots, just die already.]
The old woman sighed irritably and raised her hand, her eyes suddenly widening.
Long Aotian and Zhao Ritian felt their entire bodies lose balance, and they were both flung horizontally through the air.
Lu Chengwen whispered, “Senior, about what happened earlier between this girl and me, you must keep it a secret. Otherwise, we’ll have no face left to show anyone.”
The old woman glared at him. The two protagonists had already landed before her.
Zhao Ritian scrambled to his feet, looking around. “Who!? Who the hell did that!?”
Long Aotian got up as well, glanced at Lu Chengwen, who was frantically shaking his head and pointing at the old woman.
Zhao Ritian pointed at her. “Was it you who played tricks on us!?”
Zhao Ritian walked up to the old woman, examining her from head to toe, circling her as he spoke.
“Heh? Not bad, that move earlier had some flair! But I bet you’ve used up most of your internal energy, haven’t you? Let me tell you, I’ve got three beautiful masters, each of them unparalleled in their skills! Even they couldn’t beat me. Do you know why?”
Zhao Ritian leaned closer to the old woman, glancing around and covering his mouth with one hand as he whispered, “Because I’m already the combat ceiling of this world. No joke. I’m ridiculously strong! Strong beyond reason!”
Lu Chengwen leaned over to Long Aotian. “Is he really that strong?”
Long Aotian scoffed, “Strong, my ass!”
He added, “But he is a bit tricky. His true energy is strange—stranger than mine.”
Zhao Ritian said, “So, I advise you to stay out of this. Old people should just enjoy their old age quietly.”
He then pointed at the old woman. “I’m warning you, this isn’t something you can meddle in. Don’t look for trouble where there isn’t any!”
Lu Chengwen sighed.
[What kind of protagonist is this? So bold! So fearless!]
