Chapter 603: Why Did You Use Your Face to Hit My Hand?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ran Hui was a regular schoolteacher from a common town.
Ever since he had married, there had been strange occurrences in his home.
The neighbors claimed that his wife was a demon in disguise, and misfortune was bound to follow.
Ran Hui didn’t believe them.
However, no matter how many times they moved, the troubles continued.
Once, they had almost died. It was during that perilous time that they met a woman.
She gave them a token and two tickets.
Then, they boarded a ship. The woman had told them that they might find a
place to stay on the other end of the journey. But the woman also warned them that the journey would be extremely challenging, and the token wouldn’t protect them for long.
In the end, they chose to board the ship and relied on the token. They didn’t have to pay the extra fees.
But they had no cabin assigned to them, so they had to huddle in a corner on the deck and eat dry rations.
Everyone on this ship exuded an extraordinary aura, and some even possessed formidable magical abilities. Many observed them, and discussions had started on how to test this couple.
Ran Hui and his wife were extremely frightened until one day, a scholar stood beside them.
They thought that the scholar would cause trouble for them, but he never made a move and didn’t speak to them.
The people around them seemed afraid of this scholar. So, the scholar just watched over them from that day on, and no one dared to approach them.
In this way, they lived for several days in safety. But one day, someone approached them.
They wanted to see what these two ordinary people were up to.
In an instant, Ran Hui felt as if they were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
The couple held hands tightly. They were ready to face whatever was coming. Jiang Hao stood nearby and watched the trembling woman lean against the man.
They seemed to have made a decision.
Whoosh!
The scholar opened his fan, and the four words “Smiling San Sheng” flashed noticeably.
“This is quite troublesome.” His voice was deep.
His pearly white teeth became visible once again.
“Two ordinary people trying to hide… What are you hiding from?” asked the young man.
Several others accompanied him. They were all curious about these two non-cultivators.
“Esteemed Immortal, we have not offended you in any way. Please spare us,” said Ran Hui pleadingly. He knelt on the floor.
“It’s alright. We’re just here to take a look. We won’t harm you. Take off your robe and let me see,” the young man said.
At that point, several people gathered around.
They were also curious about these two ordinary people huddled in the corner. The man reluctantly took off his black robe. He looked like a scholar.
“What about the other one?” Huo Zheng asked.
“My wife was born ugly, and I dare not offend distinguished Immortals with her appearance,” Ran Hui said meekly.
“Ugly?” Huo Zheng burst into laughter. “I’ve seen all kinds of ugly women.
Come now, reveal her, so I can take a look.”
Ran Hui didn’t agree. He simply knelt on the ground and said her appearance might frighten others.
At that moment, Huo Zheng’s people came forward while trying to push Jiang Hao out of the way. He didn’t budge.
It seemed like everything was happening too fast. Nobody knew how to react.
Huo Zheng said, “Fellow disciple, step aside and let me see what secrets these two ordinary people are hiding.”
The others who had tried to push Jiang Hao away didn’t dare to make a move.
Just as the opponent thought he had control over the situation, there was a sudden scream.
One of Huo Zheng’s men was flung in the air. He disappeared into the sea.
He had been thrown off the ship.
“Who are you?”
“Me?” Jiang Hao was standing on the edge of the ship. He smiled at them.
“Why did you suddenly attack my man?” Huo Zheng asked.
“Well, what are you going to do about it?” Jiang Hao said.
“Fellow disciple, don’t you think you should explain yourself? We’re all…” Smack!
Huo Zheng was slapped squarely on the face. The crisp sound reverberated throughout the deck.
Jiang Hao had appeared beside Ran Hui.
He smiled amiably. “Fellow disciple, you’re really unreasonable. You used your face to hit my hand.”
“You…” Huo Zheng’s nostrils flared up in anger.
But he didn’t lose his composure. “Fellow disciple, why are you going against us? Is it because you want to offend our Heavenly King?”
‘Heavenly King?’ Jiang Hao felt he should be wary of them, but he was Smiling San Sheng right now. If he feared this young man, how could he claim to be the bold Smiling San Sheng?
He then smiled. “Fellow disciple, you’re quite naive. Who says you have to provoke me to make me retaliate? Sometimes, it can be I who provokes you for a fight.”
“You’re not afraid to confront us…” Huo Zheng didn’t even finish his words when he was slapped in the face again.
Smack!
Huo Zheng felt his dignity was shattered, and his anger could have set the whole ship on fire.
He had only intended to find out who these two suspicious individuals were, especially the woman.
If she was indeed a stunning beauty fleeing the place, he could capture her and present her to the Heavenly King. He could have earned significant rewards.
If she turned out to be truly ugly, he would have killed them both here.
However, to his surprise, every time he tried to approach them, this person intervened and humiliated him.
“You must have a reason for picking a fight with us, right?” Huo Zheng gnashed his teeth.
“Well, there’s nothing special about it. I just want to talk with this scholar,” said Jiang Hao.
“In that case, feel free to speak,” Huo Zheng said in a low voice.
Jiang Hao paid little attention to him and turned to the scholar. “Lift your head and look at me.’
The person looked at him in panic and helplessness.
Jiang Hao smiled. “Judging by your appearance, you seem like a scholar. Now, when you see me, what comes to your mind?”
There seemed to be a glint in the person’s eyes. It was as though he was rapidly trying to process all the knowledge he had. “Like a jade. Incomparable.”
Jiang Hao opened his fan to reveal the four words on the back of it: “Unrivaled in the World.”
He laughed heartily.
Jiang Hao then squatted down and glanced at the woman, who was hiding her
face with the black hood of her robe.
Her skin was dark. She looked terrified.
Jiang Hao understood why she didn’t want to show her face. She had the gift of charm.
Jiang Hao stood up. It was no wonder she wanted to escape.
A charm physique was hard to ignore for both ordinary people and cultivators.
Even if she didn’t have any special talents, she would still attract trouble.
It was quite remarkable that she had survived until now.
‘But why come here?’
She was like a sheep entering a tiger’s den.
“Smiling San Sheng, don’t you already have your lady by your side? Why are you eyeing other people’s partners?” said the middle-aged man teasingly.. “Is your lady not attractive enough for you?”
