Chapter 203: Chapter 111: Killing People Like Mowing Grass, Blood Seen but Not the Knife

"Pregnant animals about to give birth?"

The tea Doctor looked somewhat astonished, but Chen Shi had given so much that he hid the silver note under the teapot and whispered, "When does the guest need them? A dozen is not easy to prepare."

Chen Shi thought for a moment and said, "Would the morning after next do?"

After pondering for a while, the tea Doctor replied, "The morning after next, in the backyard of my shop. The guest simply needs to come and lead them away."

Chen Shi drank tea to sober up; he was indeed quite dizzy, having never really drunk much in his life, and this was the first time he had drunk so much.

"Yan Jingsi is a man of unfathomable depth, he had not probed me at all at the banquet, and Yan Rong’s strategizing is just like his. They won’t act against me, but what about others?"

As Chen Shi sipped his tea, he looked out onto the street and silently thought, "Would others miss out on this fine opportunity?"

There are all sorts of people and a myriad of flowers.

If everyone were as composed as Yan Jingsi, then what fun would there be in this world?

With so many in the Yan Family, surely some would not be able to resist making a move against him.

Chen Shi withdrew his gaze; it was only after getting drunk that he truly appreciated the taste of the tea, finding it refreshing as it went down his throat. After a while, the alcohol breath vanished, leaving only the tea’s fragrance and a lingering sweetness.

"Drinking tea is indeed good for sobering up."

After drinking his fill, Chen Shi grew much clearer in mind, paid the bill, and staggered down the stairs, feeling his consciousness clear but his body still drunk, his limbs uncooperative.

He rather enjoyed this sensation and, calling over Black Pot, swayed as he went his way.

People on the street couldn’t help frowning at the sight.

"Whose child is this, drunk so much? The parents should take better care of him!"

"So young and already too much alcohol, what will it be like when he’s grown? Likely to be a hopeless drunk, living in a drunken stupor."

Chen Shi paid them no heed and continued forward, wandering into a bustling market without realizing, only to hear a vendor shout, "Sharpening scissors, fixing knives—"

Then various cries burst into his ears, and the crowd increased, throngs of people engulfing Chen Shi.

"Fried dough sticks and spicy soup—"

"Fresh steamed buns, piping hot stuffed buns—"

"Selling charms, selling charms, fine charms written with Black Dog Blood! The Peach Talisman for a lucky love life, the Soul Summoning Talisman to call back your old father! No charm, no gains!"

"From the south to the north, stop and have a look, smashing stones with the chest! Little Liang, come and give them a demonstration!"

...

In the afternoon, this street was extraordinarily lively. Fortune-seekers with money to spend came to buy all sorts of goods, eat something nice. Men who had carried their wares on their shoulders for miles from the countryside into the city had by now sold their mountain goods and would buy some things from the city to take back to their village, where these items were considered rare and would please their wives and children for a long time.

After lunch, it was the liveliest time, but it would only be so for an hour before it quieted down.

Chen Shi walked into the marketplace, still not having sobered up from the alcohol, but feeling an urgent need to urinate, he carried on with Black Pot weaving through the streets. Several drunken men ducked into an alley next to the market, relieving themselves against the wall. He had never done this in the city before and had to hold it as he walked on.

On the street were all kinds of tradespeople, those selling fish, turtles, and meat. The kite stall was surrounded by children, and others chasing after peddlers. A fabric shopkeeper unfurled silks and satins, calling out to passersby, and a lantern seller displayed lanterns with beautiful colors and hand-drawn designs.

Others carried baskets containing chicks for sale.

Chen Shi also saw duck and goose vendors and stopped to stare at these ducks and geese for a moment, confirming they were not human before moving on.

All varieties of trades were present on the street, including some fortune-seekers staring at a woman in a street corner, unperturbed by their gaze, she simply said, "Idiots, what are you looking at! If you don’t have money, go pan for gold, and when you’ve earned some, then you can spend effort on me!"

Chen Shi walked by, feeling his bladder fill even more.

Behind him, two or three people away, a fortune-seeker in a short coat with a smile on his face, weighed a small pouch of gold dust in his hand, watching the woman in the corner, simultaneously subtly activating his Divine Embryo, which appeared as a Sword Qi flickering like a swimming fish.

This Sword Qi zigzagged through the crowd. The street was full of people, but the Sword Qi twisted and paused, moving up and down without touching anyone until it reached Chen Shi’s back. Just as it was about to pierce through the back of Chen Shi’s head, the red ribbon in his hair seemed to be lifted by the wind and brushed against that fish-like Sword Qi.

"Snap!" freewёbnoνel-com

The Sword Qi emitted a clear sound and exploded, the True Qi dissipating without causing Chen Shi any harm.

The short-coated fortune-seeker’s expression changed subtly, ignoring the solicitations of the street woman, he melded into the crowd in search of Chen Shi.

However, the street was too crowded, teeming with people, and he could not spot Chen Shi right away.

Just then, he suddenly saw Chen Shi coming towards him, his heart leapt with joy, readying to prepare a Skill, but Chen Shi swayed on his feet and had already reached him, without giving him any time to ready his Skill!

Chen Shi clenched his right fist, only his little finger and ring finger tucked in, his index and middle finger half-clenched, releasing his power midway, striking lightning-fast at the heart area of his chest.

It felt like no force had been applied, but the back of his short coat exploded with a pop, tearing open a hole the size of a bowl.

That punch on the front of his chest caused the ribs on the back to break, pushing up the copper-toned skin on his back.

He staggered, walking towards where the street woman was, but before he could reach her, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"So quick!" his eyes widened as he lay there.

His heart had been shattered.

The street woman’s expression shifted slightly; without a word, she pushed her way past the ogling men and disappeared into the crowd, her eyes fixed on Chen Shi, who was moving forward.
