BXBX NOVEL Chapter 76 - Who is This Girl?
Chapter 76: Who is This Girl?
Ling Chuxi was searching very earnestly. She had dug out all their money bags, but they didn’t contain much because the students didn’t bring much money with them into the canyon. In the end, Ling Chuxi just took the last few copper coins scar-face had on him. He was truly speechless even as he lay still and unable to move.
“Big sis, please. You’ve got to leave us a path to survive at least,” scar-face managed to choke out. When he had robbed people in the past, he hadn’t robbed them of all their belongings completely. He only took the things which mattered the most to them and left the rest. However, this innocent-looking and beautiful new student who stood towering above his prone body now was actually unwilling to even let go of the last few copper coins he had on him.
“Regardless of how small a mosquito is, it’s still something to eat in desperate times, right?” retorted Ling Chuxi as she gave a brilliant smile and pocketed the few copper coins without hesitation.
At this, scar-face shed tears.
“Big sis, you are more suitable to be in this field.” He choked out the words between tears.
“Oh, a worthy suggestion,” said Ling Chuxi solemnly while rubbing her chin in serious thought.
“Chuxi!” called out Ling Yichen gruffly in a low voice without any care for courtesy. What kind of thinking was this?!
“You don’t want your tongue anymore, huh!” barked Ling Yichen as he took a step forward and raised his arm to stab his sword into the ground right next to scar-face’s mouth. How dare this scum think of trying to misguide another! How dare he try to misguide Ling Chuxi! He was practically asking for death!
This near-fatal strike scared scar-face so greatly that he trembled and wailed. “I mean, don’t think about it too much, big sis. There’s nothing good about this vocation. We have to eat outdoors and live without a roof over our heads while always being on edge and worried about everything. If one’s luck is good, they’ll earn a little. But with bad luck, as you can see, you’ll end up like us. Of course, of course, you won’t be so easily beaten. How, however... it’s still really not a good thing to choose such a vocation!” Scar-face realized he was about to say something very wrong midway through his speech, so he hurriedly changed his words.
“I’m not interested in your vocation. It’s just that you’d better not approach me again. If you do, I’ll rob you of even your underwear.” Ling Chuxi stretched out a leg and kicked scar-face.
Ling Yichen almost lost his mind upon hearing Ling Chuxi’s words. What? She’d rob him of even his underwear? That’s it? Wasn’t this letting him and his cronies off too easily?! The way Ling Yichen looked at scar-face became even more unkind.
At the sight of the murderous gaze that swept across Ling Yichen’s face, scar-face was about to burst into tears again. He guaranteed that he and his posse would hide far, far away should they ever cross paths with Ling Chuxi in the future. Definitely! For sure!
Finally, Ling Chuxi pocketed the money bags she found on the five thieves before she turned and left with Ling Yichen. Scar-face and the rest of his gang remained lying on the ground for half a day before they were able to sit and stand up.
“Who do you think that girl is?” asked one of the thieves in a traumatized voice after climbing to his feet.
“I heard that man call her Chuxi. Could it be that she is that—”
“Ling Chuxi?!” shouted the rest of the thieves all at once. The name Ling Chuxi was a familiar one to a good few of them. The news of Mu Liufeng accepting a disciple had been a hot topic for the past few days. Of course, they knew the name Ling Chuxi.
