Chapter 456: She is Really Beautiful but Her Heart is Even More So

“Get lost!” barked Ling Chuxi at the burly man. It was not easy for her mood to have finally calmed down and she did not want to aggravate it by talking nonsense with this man.

Ling Chuxi didn’t speak in a voice that would be considered loud. However, since it was as though the people in the restaurant were watching a good movie unfolding before them right now, they were all looking quietly towards Ling Chuxi’s table from the other side of the restaurant, so her words were heard very clearly by all of them and they very naturally swiveled their heads to glance at the burly man right after.

Even the boss of the restaurant dared not come over to interfere. This burly man was a reckless man who was famous across ten miles and eight towns. He would even dare to attack the emperor or anyone else in power in the heat of the moment. And he did not have a weak cultivation background too. It was said that his cultivation was at Battle Qi Level 5. In a place as remote as Ling Xi City, such a cultivation level coupled with his tyrannical temperament which had no regard for any life made him a character to avoid. The boss of the restaurant had a family and a business to take care of and he did not want to suffer under the swing of this man’s axe.

“Surely enough, you guys are part of the same group. If you don’t pay me my money back by today, I will chop all of you guys up together,” roared the burly man angrily. He was a man with a dignified, tall and tough build. Not being able to lift this table was nothing much, but to be yelled at and ordered around by that delicate lady as though she was scolding a dog… If he let that slide, where would he put his reputation?

The man roared and swung towards the table once more with his axe. He saw that Ling Chuxi was beautiful and charming and also did not want to harden his heart to cause her bodily harm.

The diners watching felt that the burly man was displaying an act of “loving fragrance and treasuring jade” in showing unusual tenderness towards a fair lady like this. But Ling Chuxi did not appreciate this gesture, because the burly man had almost toppled over her table and knocked over her food. It was a crime more serious than taking her life!

Ling Chuxi moved her wrist slightly and a chilling gleam flashed past her. Then before he knew it, the man’s axe was divided into two clean halves from the center. It was as if a ruler was used to measure the axe from its head till its hilt. Perhaps if the two halves were placed on a weighing scale, even their weights would be exactly the same.

The burly man was dumbfounded. He stared at his axe without blinking but with confusion. His axe had been divided into two clean halves but when he looked at his hand, he realized his hand was actually intact without any damage. How marvelous. However, he did not have the time to feel fortunate because a strong force drifted from his palm the very next moment and his legs became loose beneath him. He took two steps back and then fell back flat against the ground. The pieces of his axe which had been divided into two halves turned so their blades faced him before flying straight at him, each piece landing in the ground on either side of his head.

A cold sweat broke forth from him. Although the man was reckless, he was not an idiot. He knew that he had kicked an iron plate this time. His cultivation was at Battle Qi Level 5, yet he was attacked and sent flying with a mere slap. Plus, his weapon was destroyed so precisely and wielded against him even more precisely by landing on either side of his head like this. If the other party had wanted his life, it would be a simple matter for them to claim it. It was obvious the other party had shown mercy.

“Thank you, dear maiden for showing mercy. Dear maiden, you really are beautiful and your heart even more so. I am truly in awe. It’s just that that cheat had conned me of my money, and I only meant to…” The burly man looked at Ling Chuxi with his eyes full of gratitude and started chattering away.

Ling Chuxi frowned and listened till she couldn’t anymore. “Please, leave!” As she was issuing this instruction in a low voice, she took out a big silver ingot and threw it at the burly man. She then turned her attention back to her food and continued eating. Why was it so hard for her to even eat a proper meal?

The burly man was startled. He picked up the silver ingot and glared angrily at the cheat before scurrying out of the restaurant without bothering to pick up the pieces of his axe.

The audience of diners were slightly shocked when they saw such a quick and powerful move by Ling Chuxi. The restaurant had quietened down a lot by now. However, Shang Yuan Country was traditionally a Tier-1 Great Country even amongst the Five Big Vassal Countries. The people here had good martial arts skills and as martial arts was a common practice among the citizens here, there were many young experts emerging from this city endlessly. So although the diners who witnessed this were surprised, they were not overly shocked.

“I said that you will receive a windfall and you did not believe me. Now you have got your windfall,” muttered the cheat after the burly man as he made his exit. “Everyone, I am the ‘Iron Mouth and Divine Tooth Number One Fortune Teller Under The Heavens’. Fortune telling, divination enquiries, palmistry and fortune reading by bone feeling, there is no technique that I am not well-versed in. You guys have also seen my capabilities just now. I told that man that he would receive a windfall and he did indeed receive a windfall. Anyone who wants accurate fortune telling better be quick. There will not be another stop after I pass through here. I am able to meet all of you today because of fate. So, I will give everyone who is interested a twenty percent discount.” The cheat took advantage of this situation to advertise himself and raised his signboard while nodding his head self-conceitedly.
