The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 74 Is This Magic?

Leaving the hall, Chen Xiao habitually walked out of his house, thinking about countermeasures as he went. Although his uncle thought he was fooling around, he was serious about what he had just said.

"Help!" Just as Chen Xiao was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a cry for help. Looking around, he saw four or five hooligan-looking men surrounding a beautiful girl at a street corner not far away.

The girl was shouting for help while trembling.

"Keep shouting, the more you shout, the more I like it!" a hooligan said lewdly, touching the girl as he spoke. The girl was so scared that she shrank back.

"Stop it! How dare you do such a thing in broad daylight? Do you still have any law in your eyes, you bunch of gangsters?" Chen Xiao shouted angrily and ran over quickly.

But before Chen Xiao could reach them, the hooligans pushed the girl towards Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao hurriedly reached out to help her, and a soft, boneless body was embraced by Chen Xiao.

What happened next left Chen Xiao dumbfounded. The girl rubbed against him while tearing open her collar, exposing a large section of her snow-white shoulder.

Before Chen Xiao could recover, the girl cried out again, "Help!" As she cried for help, tears streamed down her face.

And the lewd hooligan transformed into a personification of justice, pointing at Chen Xiao and shouting angrily, "Stop it! How dare you do such a thing in broad daylight? Do you still have any law in your eyes?"

"You...you're all in cahoots!" Chen Xiao pushed away the girl who was still clinging to him, his eyes almost spitting fire. It was obvious that they were working together to frame him.

"Hmph, trying to forcibly take a woman? Do you really think there's no justice in Qingyuan City?" a duck-like voice came. Chen Xiao finally realized who was trying to frame him. It was Wang Lin, who walked out from the other side of the street corner and helped the girl up from the ground.

At this time, many passersby heard the noise and gathered around, looking at the girl crying like a pear blossom in the rain, and Chen Xiao surrounded by the crowd, and began to talk about it.

"I used to think he was just a fool, but I didn't expect him to be such a morally corrupt fool!"

"Hmph, this person is simply a disgrace to our Qingyuan!"

Hearing the crowd's comments, a hint of a smile appeared on Wang Lin's face. This was exactly the effect he wanted. Just beating Chen Xiao up wasn't enough, he wanted to completely ruin Chen Xiao's reputation.

He quickly concealed the smile and replaced it with a righteous expression, stretching his neck and shouting at Chen Xiao, "You villain, surrender quickly, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

"Hahaha! You Wang family members really put on a good show!" Facing the crowd's encirclement and accusations, Chen Xiao didn't panic at all from beginning to end. At this moment, he laughed loudly and raised his hand, holding a well-made token with a large 'Wang' character engraved on it.

Everyone was familiar with this token. It was the symbol of the Wang family. Many of the Wang family's servants felt superior because of this token.

"I swiped this from this girl," Chen Xiao said with a smile. He had to thank the Four Xiang Flower Wheel in his body for all of this. After possessing it, Chen Xiao found that his perception had become exceptionally strong. He was clearly aware of any disturbance within a few dozen meters.

So before they started acting, Chen Xiao noticed these people. And after Chen Xiao approached, these people began their clumsy performance, and Chen Xiao realized that they were coming for him.

He just wanted to know who the mastermind was, so he played along with them, which led to what happened next.

The crowd understood what was going on, but this time, they chose to shut their mouths. They didn't dare to interfere with Wang Lin's schemes. They couldn't help but wonder in their hearts: So calm and meticulous, is this really 'Fool Chen Xiao'?

Wang Lin couldn't figure out what went wrong, but his plan had been exposed, and he became angry out of humiliation. He shouted, "You even dare to imitate my Wang family's token, you're dead!"

Imitate the Wang family's token? Wang Lin could actually say that, truly adding insult to injury. Everyone was sweating for Chen Xiao. They all knew that Chen Xiao was only at the first level of Body Refinement, while Wang Lin was already at the peak of the second level of Body Refinement.

Wang Lin didn't care what the crowd thought. At this moment, he just wanted to beat Chen Xiao up to vent his anger. He waved his fist and punched Chen Xiao, his fist covered with a yellow glow. This was earth-attribute Origin Power.

Chen Xiao didn't feel any danger from Wang Lin's punch infused with Origin Power. After possessing the Four Xiang Flower Wheel, he clearly felt that his strength and speed had greatly improved.

Just as Wang Lin's fist was about to hit Chen Xiao's face, it was stopped. Chen Xiao stopped his fist, and with only one hand.

The scene of Chen Xiao being sent flying that people had imagined didn't appear. Instead, Chen Xiao grabbed Wang Lin's fist with one hand, preventing Wang Lin's fist from moving.

What's going on? Everyone was confused. Wang Lin, at the peak of the second level of Body Refinement, couldn't beat Chen Xiao, who was at the first level of Body Refinement?

But the reality was much more serious than what they saw. Wang Lin's fist was firmly clamped by Chen Xiao, and only he knew the excruciating pain.

"Hiss..." Wang Lin gasped, his expression distorted as he said, "Boy, let go of me quickly. Do you know that I'm a member of the Wang family? You're courting death!"

The Wang family members next to him were too lazy to continue acting and chimed in, "If you hurt Brother Wang Lin, Young Master Wang Hao will definitely not spare you!"

"Oh?" Chen Xiao rolled his eyes upward and said faintly, "I hate being threatened the most!" Chen Xiao thought that he would have a battle with Wang Hao sooner or later. Since he had already offended him, he might as well offend him thoroughly.

As he spoke, Chen Xiao increased the strength in his hand. A series of 'crack' sounds like popping beans rang out, and Wang Lin let out a pig-like scream, his waist bent like a shrimp, shouting incessantly, "Ah! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

The Wang family members were all horrified by this scene, but none of them dared to step forward to help Wang Lin.

When Chen Xiao let go, there wasn't a single intact bone in Wang Lin's hand. If his palm were cut open at this time, it would be found that the bones inside had been broken into pieces. At this time, his hand was hanging down like a pile of烂肉 (lànròu, rotten meat).

Chen Xiao glanced at the Wang family members, and finally fixed his gaze on Wang Lin, and said slowly, "I said, I would make you pay the price." After saying that, Chen Xiao dusted off the dust on his clothes and left.

Wang Lin clutched his wrist in pain and rolled on the ground. Losing their backbone, the Wang family members could only watch Chen Xiao leave.

The onlookers, watching these dramatic scenes, had long forgotten that the departing young man was the 'Fool Chen Xiao' they spoke of. All that was left was a sigh in their hearts: What a ruthless young man!
