Chapter 1687 - 1688: Can't Afford to Offend
Lin Chen saw a flicker of cold light before him and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
This beauty truly is a femme fatale.
In such a short distance, only he could dodge; anyone else wouldn't have time to react.
Lin Chen turned his body, and the dart nearly grazed his face as it flew past.
Taking advantage of the moment, Le'er retrieved her whip.
"Beautiful lady, are you trying to take my life?" Lin Chen said, feeling a residual fear as he glanced at the dart deeply embedded in the wall behind him.
Seeing the dart miss, Le'er's expression also changed slightly.
Given her strength, missing him at such a short distance was unbelievable.
Le'er knew she had encountered a master today. She bit her teeth and swung her whip swiftly toward Lin Chen.
Yet, to her surprise, even though her whip was fast, Lin Chen's movements were even faster.
"Damn, is this guy really just at the initial stage of the God Realm?" Le'er became increasingly unsure as she continued.
"Beautiful lady, if you fancy me, you can simply confess. This endless pursuit is making me quite upset," Lin Chen said, unable to resist as her whip became fiercer.
"Who fancies you, you rogue." Le'er was furious that Lin Chen dared to flirt with her publicly.
The whip in her hand flickered with black light and swept toward Lin Chen once more.
But this time, she was shocked to discover Lin Chen had suddenly vanished.
"Where is he!" Le'er paused in a daze.
Although her whip could shatter rocks, it shouldn't have caused Lin Chen to disappear.
Right then, Le'er felt movement behind her, and her face changed dramatically.
Yet, before she could react, a pair of large hands had already wrapped around her waist.
The next instant, her body was pressed directly onto the nearby sofa.
"What are you doing?" Le'er shouted in panic as Lin Chen restrained her.
"What am I doing? Spanking," Lin Chen said with a sly smile.
"Gah!" Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the people present were stunned.
Who was Le'er? She was a notorious spitfire of Heishui City.
Although she was beautiful, her temper was exceedingly fiery.
While Heishui City had all kinds of people, none dared to provoke Le'er.
But today, this guy actually wanted to spank her.
Le'er was also so enraged her face turned crimson with anger, struggling desperately: "You dare."
Lin Chen laughed coldly, "Why wouldn't I dare?"
As he spoke, Lin Chen's palm had already landed on Le'er's rear.
"Slap slap slap!" A crisp sound of spanking echoed.
"Oh my!" By this time, quite a crowd had gathered around.
Seeing Lin Chen actually spank Le'er, everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.
Some were shocked at Lin Chen's audacity, but many more were envious.
Le'er's round butt was coveted by many men.
But they all knew of Le'er's temperament.
In the past, a young master from a not-too-weak prestigious family was instantly crippled for merely trying to grope her chest, a lesson leading everyone to avoid provoking this thorny rose.
Yet this guy was blatantly spanking Le'er openly, courting death indeed!
"Do you yield?" Lin Chen continued spanking as he taunted.
"I don't!" Le'er gritted her teeth.
"Slap slap slap!" Lin Chen spanked a few more times.
But then, Lin Chen noticed tears beginning to glimmer on Le'er's face.
Le'er came from a reputable family, pampered since childhood.
Disliking the constraints of prestigious families, she came to Heishui City to open a hotel, and due to her impressive skills and background, no one dared to provoke her.
She had never suffered such grievances and couldn't help but cry.
Seeing Le'er cry, Lin Chen finally loosened his grip.
After all, it's never quite right for a grown man to bully a girl.
As Lin Chen released her, Le'er glared at him with venomous bitterness.
Lin Chen's expression was somewhat embarrassed, "Beautiful lady, you forced me to act."
Le'er bit her silver teeth as she glanced at the surrounding gazes and stomped her foot angrily, leaving the scene.
Seeing Le'er leave, Batu panicked.
"Sister Le'er, Sister Le'er, help me!"
Le'er paused, glanced at Lin Chen, then at Batu.
It wasn't that she didn't want to help, but the opponent was too strong; what could she do?
Le'er snorted coldly, "You've been bullying men and women, it's time you learned your lesson, you deserve the beating."
Saying that, she left in a huff.
Le'er left, leaving Batu stunned.
Lin Chen brought his hand to his mouth, still carrying a trace of fragrance in his palm.
Nonetheless, his mood greatly improved now.
Lin Chen slowly approached Batu and said flatly, "Now, let's settle our accounts."
Batu's face turned deathly pale, "Boss, I'm wrong, I couldn't recognize Mount Tai."
At this moment, Batu finally realized what a ruthless character Lin Chen was.
Just think, he'd even dared to spank Le'er's rear; how bold must he be.
"Admitting your mistake now is a bit late." Lin Chen sneered as he reached out and clamped Batu's neck.
Batu felt a chilling murderous intent emanate from Lin Chen.
"No, don't kill me..."
Just as Lin Chen was about to act, a commotion of footsteps sounded outside, and then a frantic voice broke out, "Stop!"
Lin Chen furrowed his brow and turned his head to see a middle-aged man walking in.
Beside the middle-aged man stood a young man, Bai Shaohui.
"Dad, you finally came, help me teach this bastard a lesson, kill him, kill him." Seeing the middle-aged man, Batu's eyes immediately brightened, shouting.
"Shut up, you wastrel, if you dare say another word, believe it or not, I'll kill you with my own hands." But unexpectedly for Batu, his father didn't stand up for him this time, instead angrily rebuking him.
"What!" Batu was dumbfounded.
"I am Ba He, if my son did something wrong, please forgive him, and I beg you to spare my son for my sake."
In the astonished eyes of the crowd, Ba He fell to his knees before Lin Chen.
Seeing this scene, the onlookers were all stunned, never expecting the mighty City Lord of Heishui City, Ba He, to kneel before Lin Chen.
It's not that Ba He lacked backbone; he simply couldn't afford not to kneel.
When Ba He heard about his son being beaten, he was indeed infuriated, wanting to kill Lin Chen right away.
But fortune smiled on him as Bai Shaohui happened to be a guest at his house.
Upon hearing Lin Chen being Bai Shaohui's master and Situ Yunque's master, Ba He became truly fearful.
Either of these two prominent families could easily crush the City Lord of Heishui City, yet Lin Chen was their master.
Such a character is beyond his capability to provoke.
Through these years, Ba He could become the City Lord of Heishui City because of his deep scheming.
He knew there was only one way to save his son, and that was to sincerely apologize.
For Lin Chen was someone he couldn't and wouldn't dare to provoke.
