15: Chapter 14: Inhuman 15: Chapter 14: Inhuman Chu Yi was startled by Wen Ya’s maneuver.

“You’re setting me up for injustice.”

Wen Ya exhaled fragrantly by his ear, “I’m treating, so is it too much to ask for a bit of physical labor?”

“Your argument seems so reasonable…”

Chu Yi fell silent for a moment, then flexing his arms forcefully twice, said when Wen Ya’s face stiffened, “I’ve already done the physical work, so it’s not too much to ask for some benefits in advance, right?”

Seeing these two flirting right in front of him, Zhang Dong got angry.

I’ve longed for the stars and the moon, and yet never received such treatment!

“Hit them!

It’s on me if anything happens!”

His roar caught the attention of everyone nearby.

As gazes converged on them, they saw Chu Yi slowly stand up.

“Is this kid really going to take on those guys head-on?”

“He’s too rash, isn’t he just asking for a beating?”

“Where did this brash young man come from?”

While their minds were filled with different thoughts, Chu Yi moved.

His lethargic demeanor vanished in an instant, and he appeared in front of Zhang Dong in the blink of an eye, throwing a punch.

Whoosh!

The force of the punch blew past, Zhang Dong didn’t even see his movement until a fist hung before his face, and only then did he react.

He was then dumbfounded.

He had been in fights before, but never had he seen someone with such skill.

He had no chance to fight back at all!

“Gulp!”

His throat bobbed up and down, his heart leaping into his throat.

His companions were even more frightened.

Although the fight hadn’t started yet, they distinctly felt that if it did, they would be the ones lying down.

In their intense apprehension…

“Hey, isn’t the most important thing about going out to have fun?

Why resort to fighting and killing, right?”

Chu Yi lowered his fist, straightened Zhang Dong’s collar, and said.

Zhang Dong didn’t dare object and immediately nodded vigorously, “Absolutely!

There’s no need at all.”

“Then I won’t see you out, take care!”

“No, no need for that.”

Zhang Dong, with his companions, almost fled in complete disarray.

The gazes from the onlookers turned to astonishment, with several girls casting flirtatious glances.

Chu Yi sat down gracefully, only to hear Wen Ya say with regret, “Tch, and I thought there’d be a good show.”

“You wish.

It’s my first time at a place like this, how could I let something like this ruin my mood?

Besides…”

“Besides what?”

Chu Yi flashed a mischievous smile, almost whispering in Wen Ya’s ear, “The benefit you offered wasn’t enough.”

Wen Ya was taken aback, then quickly realized his meaning and elbowed towards Chu Yi’s waist, only to be caught by his grasp.

“Your hand, so white and smooth—it doesn’t look like you’ve trained at all.”

Wen Ya’s face warmed, though it was indiscernible under the dim lights.

She struggled twice, but couldn’t break free.

So she feigned composure and said, “Let go, I need to use the restroom!”

“Oh.”

Only then did Chu Yi release her, watching as she disappeared into the crowd.

This senior sister doesn’t seem as open as she appears!

At least not as much as the senior sisters back in the mountains.

As he was amusingly pondering this, a girl sat next to him, “Handsome, how about a drink together?”

Chu Yi turned to look and saw a face caked in heavy makeup.

Activating Heavenly Eye, he sized her up and down, then nonchalantly replied, “Sorry, I’m allergic to alcohol.”

The girl’s face stiffened as she glanced at the half-drunk bottle in front of him, then left cursing.

Chu Yi remained unaffected, thinking whether her face or chest was lacking or excessive, she still wanted to hit on me?

Wishful thinking!

With that time, wouldn’t it be better to tease my senior sister?

But she’s been in the bathroom for way too long…

Chu Yi waited a moment longer, his brows inevitably furrowing.

Too long…

“Heavenly Eye, activate!”

Upon exerting his full strength, the Heavenly Eye made the crowd instantly transparent, the walls as if non-existent.

Finally, Chu Yi’s gaze penetrated the restroom.

Seven or eight girls lay on the ground, Wen Ya was no exception, except that the others had lost consciousness, while she alone remained alert.

In front of her, a girl shrouded in black mist was gradually drawing closer.

The stiffness of her movement and the black mist emanating from her body were unmistakably non-human.

“What is this?!”

Chu Yi’s expression turned stern, and he immediately dashed out.

Wherever he passed, chaos ensued, and within less than ten seconds, he had burst through the crowded throng.

Then, under the astonished gaze of a group of girls queuing up, he kicked open the door to the restroom.

Bang!

The noise startled the ‘person’ inside, the girl covered in black mist suddenly turned around, her dead fish-like eyes staring at Chu Yi for two seconds before she suddenly let out a strange scream and lunged at him, teeth bared and claws extended.

Seeing Chu Yi arrive so abruptly, Wen Ya couldn’t help but feel a range of emotions well up inside her.

But then she shouted, “Be careful!

She seems to be able to absorb strength!”

Chu Yi’s eyebrows knit together slightly.

Absorb strength?

This is the modern era, not a fantasy world, how could that be possible?

However, when he engaged with the girl and touched the black mist, his expression turned grave.

Just from a touch, his arm felt as if it had gone through a whole day of intense training, suddenly going limp and feeble.

“This is a bit spooky.”

This was the first time Chu Yi had encountered such an event, and he couldn’t help but become wary.

After pushing the eerie girl back, he casually picked up a mop nearby and dismantled its wooden handle.

At that moment, the girl lunged at him again, all teeth and claws, completely uncoordinated.

Chu Yi used the wooden stick to fend her off but refrained from striking her down.

Considering the girl’s appearance, she was likely a customer; no telling what condition she was in right now.

With reservations in his heart, Chu Yi ended up in a stalemate with her, and after several exchanges, neither could best the other.

Just then, the restroom door was kicked open again, and several burly security officers walked in.

Chu Yi glanced at them, but when he looked back, the girl had suddenly gone limp and collapsed to the ground.

“Huh?

What’s going on?”

Chu Yi frowned as the black mist on her body vanished in an instant.

Could it be…

“Heavenly Eye, activate!”

Chu Yi studied the girl carefully, finding no trace of black mist within her, only a fetus that was still developing.

Where did it go?

Chu Yi, frowning, looked around, and suddenly noticed the wisp of black mist by the toilet.

Just as he was about to act, it swiftly plunged into the toilet’s drain, disappearing without a trace.

A living creature?!

Chu Yi felt his materialistic worldview being challenged.

“What have you done to them?!”

The security officers’ interrogation snapped Chu Yi out of his thoughts.

They couldn’t help being shocked and angry to see the girls sprawled all over the floor.

Chu Yi set down the mop handle and spread his hands, “Don’t misunderstand, they were like this when I got here.”

The security officers obviously didn’t believe him, “Then explain this, how did perfectly fine people just collapse for no reason?”

“That…

I’d like to know as well.”

Chu Yi spoke candidly.

The cool energy from the jade horse Zhang Yuru had given him, and now this black mist that acted like a living thing…

Just one day in the city, and Chu Yi’s worldview was being severely tested.

But the security officers weren’t buying it, slowly pulling out their batons.

“Alright, whatever you have to say, you can tell it to the police!”
