Chapter 266 - 232: Exaggerating the Time at Such a Young Age

Chapter 266: Chapter 232: Exaggerating the Time at Such a Young Age

An eerie silence fell.

No one broke it.

The prized treasure of the Giant Rock Martial Arts Hall was missing. When Shui Qianjun saw the words "Black Water" and "Seven" carved on the side of the carriage, he knew his own apprentice was inside.

But since the people from the Giant Rock Martial Arts Hall remained silent, he simply watched as well.

The Red Hummingbird perched on the carriage roof was deeply unsettling.

Shui Qianjun calculated inwardly, ’If this kid down there really did take something from the Giant Rock Martial Arts Hall, how am I going to clean up this mess?’

Half an hour passed.

An hour passed.

"You little temptress, this is what you get for seducing me! This is what you get! This is what you get!"

"Mmph... My lord... I..."

A resonant, forceful voice, followed by broken words that couldn’t form a complete sentence, drifted out from the carriage.

The assembled experts were left even more speechless.

Among the crowd, a beautiful woman in black with curly hair and an hourglass figure, blessed with a pair of naturally amorous eyes, smiled and said, "Water Gang Leader, if I’m not mistaken, isn’t this your Seventh Young Master’s carriage?"

The Female Martial Artists acting as escorts were standing guard not far away. But in the presence of so many powerful experts, whose auras were as vast as the abyssal sea, they could only tremble where they stood, unsure of how to warn Tang Wen.

"It’s Xiaoqi," Shui Qianjun said, glancing at her.

The smile on the hourglass-figured woman in black didn’t fade. "In every brothel in Ganshan City, big or small, countless girls have seen his portrait and longed to meet him. To encounter him today, even separated by a carriage... he is truly as remarkable as they say."

The Water Gang Leader wondered, ’How am I supposed to respond to that?’

’Should I say she’s overpraising my unruly apprentice?’

’That would sound like I’m boasting.’

’Say that I’m the one who taught him his... skills?’

’This doesn’t seem like the right occasion for that, either.’

’Still, I have to admit, this queen of the brothels... she’s really something else.’

CHIRP! CHIRP! The Red Hummingbird, having rested enough, began to call out incessantly from atop the carriage.

The members of the Black Water Gang grew anxious.

The Water Gang Leader thought, ’Even if he took something, he couldn’t have had time to use it. If he really did, then I’ll just have to persuade the Giant Rock Martial Arts Hall and compensate them with some resources... maybe that portion of Fifth Grade Blood Marrow we have. If that’s not enough, I’ll just have the kid join the Giant Rock Martial Arts Hall. With his Talent, he’s guaranteed to reach Fifth Grade. He could become one of Giant Rock’s top figures and marry Yun’Er. A win-win situation!’

’No—a multi-win situation!’

At this thought, the Water Gang Leader’s mindset shifted completely. He was no longer worried about the brat down there causing trouble—he was worried he *wouldn’t*.

The carriage stopped shaking.

The male powerhouses at the scene breathed a slight sigh of relief as their minds filled with various thoughts:

’I was much better than this when I was young.’

’This young lad is on par with my younger self.’

’This boy has my style from back in the day.’

’Even now, if I—if I’m in good shape, I can still perform like that...’

...

Extraordinary Powerhouses and Sixth-Grade Powerhouses could easily overpower ordinary women, Martial Disciples, or even other Martial Artists, but it was easy for such encounters to turn fatal.

Besides, "overpowering" them didn’t mean it lasted long.

Among the crowd, only the queen of the brothels and a few Female Extraordinaries had eyes that were shining with increasing brightness.

RUSTLE, RUSTLE. Clothes were being put on.

The curtain was lifted, and a dashingly handsome young man with a radiant air stepped out of the carriage.

He froze for a moment upon seeing the crowd.

Then, he pinched himself.

Only then did he blush and say, "Greetings, Master. Greetings, everyone."

Before anyone else could speak, Shui Qianjun preempted them. "Recount everything you did today, in detail! Do not hide a single thing."

Tang Wen had spent the last hour coming up with a story. He immediately lowered his head, feigning recollection. "I left my secret training chamber, went home to wash up and eat, and then... well..."

He lifted his head and glanced at the crowd, as if to ask if he should really continue.

"Continue," Shui Qianjun ordered.

Tang Wen sighed. "Then, I pulled my Close Guard, Liang Yu, into a room to... spar. Afterward, we moved the battlefield and came here. And after that, I saw all of you esteemed seniors."

The male powerhouses frowned in unison. ’This kid has to be bluffing!’

The queen of the brothels, Feng San Niang, asked, "Young Master, what time did you have lunch?"

Tang Wen sized her up, his gaze lingering for a moment on her bare, jade-white feet with green-painted toenails, before pulling out a pocket watch. "About three hours ago."

Her eyes lit up like stars. "Truly?"

The male experts all thought, ’Bullshit! That’s absolute bullshit!’

’So young and already such a braggart!’

’He needs a good thrashing!’

’If he were my apprentice, I’d string him up and flog him!’

"Huh? It was just lunchtime. Why would I lie about that?"

Tang Wen was attributing the time he’d spent on his "other activities" to his session with Liang Yu.

It was all the same to Liang Yu, anyway. After an hour, her body was like soft jelly.

After more than three hours, she would be as pliant as water and would have completely lost consciousness.

"Bring the woman out."

A tall, powerfully built man at the very front suddenly spoke.

The expressions of the others turned peculiar.

Tang Wen glanced at his master but didn’t move. "What is the meaning of this?"

Shui Qianjun said, "Just do as you’re told."

In his eyes, the Extraordinary Red Hummingbird landing on Tang Wen’s roof made the boy an unavoidable suspect. Since a Fifth Grade expert from the Giant Rock Martial Arts Hall had spoken, a little cooperation wouldn’t hurt.

"Yes, sir."

Reluctantly, Tang Wen carried the now-fully-dressed and utterly bewitching Liang Yu out of the carriage.

The veteran male powerhouses had sharp, discerning eyes. ’Tsk, so it’s a Female Martial Artist!’

They were familiar with Female Martial Artists. At their age and with their current Constitutions, they now preferred to seek out Peak Martial Artists or Junior Martial Artists.

What?

Shouldn’t a Sixth-Grade powerhouse be paired with an Extraordinary?

Heh.

A Martial Artist is a wolf, but an Extraordinary is a tiger.

One must understand that over the years, the vast majority of Martial Artists who have died in bed were men!

At least seventy percent of them!

And yet, the number of Female Extraordinaries is a good sixty percent lower than the number of male Extraordinaries.

When you do the math... HISS!

Sure enough, since ancient times, tigers and wolves have always devoured men.

Liang Yu nestled in Tang Wen’s arms, her bright, languid eyes half-open as she looked on the verge of falling asleep.

Her long, slender legs seemed boneless, unable to support her weight.

’What a man-eating vixen!’

The male powerhouses came to a unanimous conclusion.

And they glared at Tang Wen with even greater animosity.
