Peerless Martial Expert in the City-Chapter 251 - 254: Kill Without Mercy

He had no intention of concealing the process of his acquaintance with Liu San; rather, there were some things, just as he didn’t want Wang Qingqing to know, he also didn’t want Shen Xiaoxiao to know. And the process of getting to know Liu San was precisely one of those things.

"If only it were so easy for someone with the surname Liu to give up. I came to tell you that you must be careful lately, it seems Liu has found you."

Upon hearing Xiao Yi ask about the main issue, Shen Xiaoxiao instantly forgot her curiosity about Xiao Yi’s friend from before, and her expression immediately turned serious. She spoke to Xiao Yi with a solemn face.

"Oh, thank you for reminding me, Sister Shen."

Xiao Yi was momentarily stunned, then smiled and said to Shen Xiaoxiao.

In fact, he had never believed that the man with the surname Liu would fail to find him. Finding someone in a vast G City with tens of millions of people was difficult yet not difficult; for most people it was undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack, but for Liu, it was undoubtedly just a matter of time.

Therefore, he wasn’t surprised in the slightest by Shen Xiaoxiao’s news. Of course, he didn’t feel much about it either. When the soldier approaches, the general should deal with it—after all, the man surnamed Liu was at most a person at the Bone Tempering Period, and it seemed he was still at the Initial Tier, Middle Tier stage, which had never been a problem for him. Now, all the more, he didn’t take it seriously.

But he still thanked Shen Xiaoxiao.

"Thanks for what? When all is said and done, this was caused by me. Xiao Yi, don’t act so unconcerned. I’ve heard that he is preparing to find an opportunity to make a move on you soon, so you have to be extra careful lately," Shen Xiaoxiao said, waving her hand, indifferent to Xiao Yi’s thanks. Seeing the nonchalant expression on Xiao Yi’s face, she looked at him with a hint of dissatisfaction and worry.

"Hmm, I will be, rest assured, Sister Shen."

Seeing that Shen Xiaoxiao seemed dissatisfied with his smile, Xiao Yi quickly put away the smile on his face and seriously said to Shen Xiaoxiao.

"How about this, Xiao Yi? I’ll arrange a bodyguard for you," Shen Xiaoxiao proposed after seeing Xiao Yi’s serious expression, finally feeling reassured. But after a slight hesitation, she still seemed a bit worried.

"Ah?"

Upon hearing Shen Xiaoxiao’s suggestion, Xiao Yi was suddenly stunned, then hastily said, "Sister Shen, there’s no need for a bodyguard. I’ll be careful on my own. As soon as I sense anything wrong, I’ll just run right away, and if it still doesn’t feel right, I’ll ask you for help."

A joke, arranging a bodyguard?

Isn’t that like installing a surveillance system around him?

Would he have any privacy left? How would he be able to act conveniently? He had many matters that were not very convenient to let others know of, like resolving the issue with Li Xiaohan and his father, or his daily cultivation...

Moreover, if he had a bodyguard, who would protect whom if something really happened?

It’s just looking for trouble!

Therefore, he absolutely couldn’t agree to this. A high-level Condensation period expert having to be accompanied by a bodyguard would be a laughingstock if word got out—unless the bodyguard was above the Condensation period and superior to him.

But he didn’t believe that Shen Xiaoxiao could find him a bodyguard higher than the Condensation period.

"Why so nervous?"

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Yi’s anxious face and said discontentedly, "Do you commit so many misdeeds in your everyday life that you’re afraid of having a bodyguard keep an eye on you?"

"How could that be possible! What misdeeds could I possibly commit? Sister Shen, you really know how to joke. Sister Shen, you know I’m a student. I have classes to attend. It’s very inconvenient to have a bodyguard," Xiao Yi asserted with as much sincerity as he could muster in his tone.

Shen Xiaoxiao wanted to say something, but her cell phone began to ring urgently. She quickly glanced at Xiao Yi with an apologetic look, then hurriedly took out her phone, checked the number, and answered the call.

If Xiao Yi activated his Hearing, he could clearly eavesdrop on her phone conversation, but he didn’t do so. Instead, he closed off his hearing, purposefully avoiding listening. He wasn’t a prude; he was capable of eavesdropping on someone’s privacy, something he would do against his rivals or enemies without hesitation. But Shen Xiaoxiao was his friend; she answered the phone without shying away from him because she trusted him, and if he listened in, that would be utterly disgraceful.

If there was something she wanted him to know, he believed she would tell him herself.

"Sorry about that. I just got a call from the company. There’s been some trouble there, and I might have to go back for a bit. Since you insist on not having a bodyguard, I won’t force you, but you really do need to be careful. If you detect anything wrong, you must call me immediately, understand?" Shen Xiaoxiao had an obviously displeased expression while on the phone. After hanging up, she quickly stood up and said to Xiao Yi.

"Alright, no problem, Sister Shen. Go take care of your business. Don’t worry, it’s my own safety at stake, I’ll definitely be cautious!" Xiao Yi quickly stood up as well, escorting Shen Xiaoxiao to the door.

"That’s good then,"

Xiaoxiao nodded but as she reached the door, she suddenly turned back and glared at him, "Where are the clothes I bought for you last time? Why aren’t you wearing them?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Sister Shen, that outfit is so precious, of course I have to save it. How can I wear it every day?"

Xiao Yi really hadn’t expected Xiaoxiao’s line of thinking to leap so quickly, and he was taken aback for a moment. However, he reacted swiftly and immediately smiled as he spoke.

"Hmph, if you don’t like it, you don’t like it. You’re not honest at all."

Xiaoxiao huffed, gave Xiao Yi a sideways glance with a tinge of delight in her eyes and brows, seeming quite satisfied with his explanation.

Xiao Yi chuckled without further defending himself. Indeed, he didn’t like that outfit—it was far too flashy. If he wore it to school, he could forget about having any peace and should prepare to enjoy the treatment of a national treasure in a zoo.

He was truly afraid that if he carelessly said something flattering, Xiaoxiao might directly demand him to do so, and then he would be left crying without tears.

"If you don’t like wearing it, forget it. Okay, I’m leaving, no need for you to see me out."

Xiaoxiao snorted and lifted her head, striding forward out of the door.

Yet, after a few steps, she turned back with a seductive look on her face and beckoned Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, come here..."

"Sister Shen, is there anything else?"

Xiao Yi was somewhat baffled as Xiaoxiao seemed somewhat angry just a moment ago, but now she suddenly became all smiles. Seeing her charming smiling face, he paused for a moment before quickly hastening his steps toward her.

"I..."

Xiaoxiao’s smile became even more seductive, slowly raising her head with eyes full of allure, looking at Xiao Yi. Suddenly, she reached out, took Xiao Yi’s head in her hands, and pressed her lips onto his.

"Buzz!"

Xiao Yi had not anticipated such a move from Xiaoxiao and was instantly stunned.

However, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his lips.

"Naughty boy, how dare you bully me last time. This is a little punishment for you... teehee..."

Listening to Xiaoxiao’s voice that sounded both reproachful and affectionate, and seeing her satisfied look as she proudly got into the BMW car ahead, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but reveal a helpless and bitter smile, gently touching his lips and the trace of blood on them.

What a vixen!

It took a while for Xiao Yi to slowly shift his gaze from the distant BMW car and he couldn’t help muttering under his breath as he turned to walk back to the villa.

Is the storm finally about to arrive?

The three major mercenary organizations have actually reached Xuanwu Country?

It seems I’ve underestimated them!

Once back inside the villa and sitting on the couch, the ever-present gentle smile disappeared from Xiao Yi’s face, and the playful demeanor he had before Xiaoxiao was gone too. In its place was an air of arrogance and disdain for the world, rare on his face, and his whole persona seemed to have turned into a cold and sharp sword.

If anyone were present, they would realize that the aura emanating from him at this moment was similar in some aspects to that of the man known as Liu San!

Equally cold, equally making one’s heart involuntarily palpitate with dread.

But no matter who you are, you’d best stay quiet in Xuanwu Country, otherwise...

Those who dare offend my Xuanwu will be shown no mercy!

A fierce killing intent abruptly burst forth from Xiao Yi’s eyes as the aura around his body was completely unleashed, instantaneously turning him into a statue of a wild and domineering God of Kill, freezing the air in the entire hall in an instant.

"Crack!"

A glass on the table was crushed by the intense aura emitting from him and cracked with a sharp sound.

Hearing the crisp sound of the glass breaking, Xiao Yi’s mind instantly receded, the terrifying aura he had just released disappeared in a blink, and he returned to his usual modest, low-key demeanor of an average student.
