Chapter 47 : Sorry, My Bad for Bothering You

Sorry, My Bad for Bothering You

A pale face emerged from the narrow alley, its pitch-black eyes gleaming with an eerie light as they stared unblinkingly at Qin Ling.

Apart from that ghostly pale face, the rest of its body remained hidden in the dark shadows.

It looked like just a floating head hanging in mid-air, creating this seriously creepy and sinister atmosphere. All it needed was some classic horror movie soundtrack to complete the vibe.

“Beautiful lady, would you care to join me for a wonderful evening?”

The pale face slowly opened its mouth and asked again, its voice low and magnetic with a disturbingly hypnotic quality.

Qin Ling frowned, looking at the pale face with wary suspicion as she said to Chu Tianxing. "Tianxing, there's something really off about this guy."

Chu Tianxing nodded slightly, staring at the pale face as he said flatly. "I have Sword Sovereign Xingyun's phone number."

The moment those words left his mouth, the pale face seemed to finally notice Chu Tianxing's existence. It shifted its gaze from Qin Ling to look at him.

"You... what did you say?"

"I said..." Chu Tianxing repeated solemnly, "I have Sword Sovereign Xingyun's phone number."

"..."

The pale face fell silent and stared intently into Chu Tianxing's eyes as if trying to call his bluff.

Chu Tianxing remained calm and composed, meeting the pale face's stare with complete confidence and fearlessness.

The stare-down lasted for a few seconds.

Suddenly, a gentle smile appeared at the corners of the pale face's mouth.

"Sorry, my bad for bothering you. I was just having a little joke around. Please don't take it to heart, you two."

"No worries." Chu Tianxing nodded and made a "be my guest" gesture. "Feel free to go about your business."

"Alright then. Goodbye, you two. Hope you have a wonderful evening."

The pale face wore a kind and friendly smile as it slowly retreated into the shadows behind it, nodding politely in farewell.

Just as the pale face began to retreat and was nodding its goodbye—

Chu Tianxing suddenly raised his hand and scattered something. A spray of tiny, cold glints flew from his fingertips, heading right for the creature’s face.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

The needles sliced through the air and, in an instant, peppered the creature's face with most of them went right into its eyes.

"AHHH!"

A blood-curdling scream rang out as the pale face's black eyes suddenly burst, spraying some kind of black goo everywhere.

Meanwhile, Chu Tianxing who had just thrown more than ten embroidery needles had already activated his A Thousand Li in an Instant lightness skill.

Like a streak of lightning, he flew right up to the pale face. His right hand formed a claw that tore through the air with a fierce whistling sound as he grabbed for the pale face.

Nine Yin White Bone Claw.

Splurt!

Chu Tianxing's claw strike hit home. His five fingers broke through skin and flesh, sinking deep into both sides of the pale face's cheeks, then he yanked with force.

As black blood splattered everywhere, a monster with a human face and snake body was dragged out from the shadows of the alley by Chu Tianxing.

Its human face was currently caught in Chu Tianxing's claw grip, while the rest of its three-meters-or-so-long snake-like body was thrashing wildly on the ground.

BANG BANG BANG!

The snake tail whipped against the ground like a drum, cracking the concrete and sending rubble flying.

Seeing the whole monster almost gave Qin Ling a heart attack.

Even Chu Tianxing, who was currently gripping its face, couldn't help but have his eye twitch violently a couple of times.

Seeing the monster struggling and thrashing around frantically, even trying to coil its tail around him, Chu Tianxing didn't hesitate. His right hand continued to grip the monster's face tightly while his left hand rose high above his head and slammed down on the creature's skull.

Nine Yin Manual technique: Heart-Shattering Palm.

Compared to the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, which just rips five big holes in people, the Heart-Shattering Palm was much more... zen-like in its approach.

One palm strike to the chest would shatter the enemy's inside, but they'd look perfectly fine on the outside. They look like they died peacefully in their sleep. It’s a very merciful way to go.

Right now, Chu Tianxing's Heart-Shattering Palm strike to the monster's skull maintains the same compassionate, zen-like style that the technique is known for.

The monster's skull looked completely fine, but the palm force had already penetrated through the bone and surged into the skull cavity.

As the soft palm energy bounced back and forth inside, it instantly turned the monster's brain matter into mush, which came pouring out of its ears and nostrils.

With its brain turned to paste, the monster naturally died on the spot.

After a series of violent convulsions, the snake-like body went limp and collapsed to the ground.

Once he was sure it was dead, Chu Tianxing finally pulled his clawed hand out of its cheeks. He shook his hand, using his skin's vibration to flick off the contaminated monster blood.

Qin Ling quickly came over with a handkerchief to help Chu Tianxing wipe the remaining blood from his fingers.

"What the hell is this thing?" Qin Ling asked, her face full of disgust as she helped him wipe his hand.

If she’d seen this thing before their school trip, this bizarre monster would have scared Qin Ling out of her wits.

But after experiencing those fish monsters during their graduation trip, Qin Ling was mentally prepared for the existence of strange and unusual creatures in this world.

So after the initial shock, she wasn't scared anymore. Just really, really disgusted.

"No clue."

Chu Tianxing shook his head.

"Definitely not an Earth species. But when I dropped Sword Sovereign Xingyun's name earlier, it clearly showed some fear. Seems like it knows something about Earth? Hmm, feels kinda weird. We need to get an expert to identify where this thing came from."

“An expert? You mean Sword Sovereign Xingyun?"

Her eyes were shining as she looked at him. "Do you really have Sword Sovereign Xingyun's phone number?"

Chu Tianxing smiled:

"This monster's pretty weak overall. Probably relies mainly on that face of its to trick young girls. There is no need to bother Sword Sovereign Xingyun for a low-level scrub like this. I've got someone else in mind."

With that, he pulled out his phone and dialed Gu Dongcang's number.

After two rings, the call was answered. Gu Dongcang's feminine voice came through. "Hello, this is Gu Dongcang."

Chu Tianxing grinned. "Brother Gu, it's me. Little Chu, Chu Tianxing."

"Chu Tianxing?" Gu Dongcang chuckled. “To what do I owe the pleasure? Finally decided to join the Eastern Depot?”

“Not exactly. I’ve got something important to report…”

Chu Tianxing gave a brief but comprehensive account of their encounter with the monster, focusing on describing the creature's appearance.

“A human face and a snake’s body? And a pale, scaleless, bizarre and disgusting snake body at that?”

Gu Dongcang's voice immediately became serious.

"Where are you right now? I’m on my way with a team. And make sure no random bystanders get near the scene."

"Don't worry, this place is pretty secluded. There are basically no passersby. Otherwise, this monster wouldn't have been camping here playing the waiting game."

After giving his address, Chu Tianxing hung up the phone and waited with Qin Ling by the monster’s corpse for Gu Dongcang to arrive with his people.

Qin Ling stared at the corpse for a second. "Tianxing, don't you think that in this short month since we graduated high school, we've encountered more bizarre incidents than in our entire previous decade-plus of life combined?"

Chu Tianxing awkwardly rubbed his nose and replied vaguely.

"Well, statistically speaking, some people might go their whole lives without encountering a single major incident, while others might run into multiple bizarre events in a short time... You get used to it once you've dealt with enough of them. Besides, didn't you want to join the Eastern Depot anyway?”

"The Eastern Depot handles national security and monitors Gates of Revelation, so they definitely have to deal with all kinds of bizarre creatures from other dimensions regularly. Getting more experience now will help you adapt faster, and this experience will actually be useful for your future work."

Qin Ling thought about it and nodded. "That makes sense."

The two of them chatted for a few minutes while guarding the monster corpse before they heard the sound of approaching vehicles.

Looking toward the sound, they saw a black van speeding toward them.

Chu Tianxing wasn't sure if this was an Eastern Depot vehicle and was about to intercept it when he saw Gu Dongcang stick his head out of the passenger window and wave at him. He stopped and let the van approach.
