Chapter 1137 So It’s Her

Such scantily clad beautiful lady was screaming for attention on the streets in a drunken state. If she ran into someone with impure intentions, it would only be reasonable for her honor to be endangered.

However, Tang Wulin had no intention of meddling in someone else’s life. Since she chose to dress this way and had become this drunk, who could say whether she intended to have an affair all along or not? There was no need for him to interfere.

So he just turned around and left without giving it another thought. However, an angry and resentful shout reached his ears, “You bastard, where are you?! When are you going to get out of my dream?!”

Tang Wulin paused in his steps after he heard the voice. He suddenly felt that this the shouting lady’s voice was somewhat familiar. He seemed to have heard some similar words before.

He instinctively turned around and looked at the lady again.

At this very moment, a handful of young men in showy clothes ran up to her. The first guy wore a yellow singlet, printed shorts and a pair of expensive flip flops.

“Haha! There you are, pretty girl. Why were you in a hurry to leave? Didn’t you say you were just going to the toilet? What’re you doing out here? Come, let’s go back to our drinks.” The yellow singlet quickly walked up to her and grabbed her arm.

“Let go of me, I’m not drinking anymore. I’m telling you to get away from me! I’m from the army!” The lady seemed to have retained some consciousness. She swung her arm strongly and the yellow singlet staggered.

He was not angered but laughed. “The army? That’s nice! My dad’s a member of the parliament. This is just right, let’s combine politics and military. Brothers, carry this pretty girl back. We’ll continue drinking.”

The other young men who came with him walked up to her with snickering faces. They continued to pester the young lady.

‘The army?’

When he looked at the lady with thick makeup, Tang Wulin’s heart skipped a beat. A bell finally rang in his mind. ‘Is it her? I can’t imagine this was the girl filled with heroic air back then. If it’s her, then wouldn’t I be the bastard she’s shouting about?’

Tang Wulin’s lips curled strangely. He helplessly shrugged. Since he had already encountered this situation, he could not let it be.

For him, it was as easy as lifting his finger!

He took a quick step forward as he quickly moved and appeared in their inner circle. He lightly tapped the ground with his left foot. A wave of weak vibrations spread out immediately.

Along with the yellow singlet, the other young men’s bodies shook as well and they stood there, paralyzed. They were only ordinary people. They were shaken for some time and their thoughts were muddled.

Tang Wulin pulled the lady. It did not seem too fast, but they had already left the place in just a few steps. They turned onto another street and disappeared.

The yellow singlet and the other young men returned to normal in a few seconds.

“Eh? Where are they?” When yellow singlet noticed that the juicy meat about to enter his mouth had disappeared, he was immediately enraged. However, he had no idea that although Tang Wulin had snatched the lady away from them, he had saved their lives.

No matter how drunk a soul master was, once they sensed danger, they would still reflexively defend themselves. For ordinary people like them, even if the lady had just unleashed her martial soul, she could easily snuff out their lives.

“Blerghh…”

Tang Wulin stood further away. He frowned as he looked at the vomiting lady.

The dense smell of alcohol was truly unpleasant. If this person had not been related to him, he would have loved to leave and stay far away.

After vomiting for about fifteen minutes the lady seemed to feel better. However, she was still unable to get back on her feet.

Tang Wulin stood behind her. He placed his arm under her armpits and pulled her up from the ground. Then, he strode into a public toilet at the side.

Under the surprised stares of the passing people who were there just to settle their business with nature, he supported the lady’s waist with his left arm, pressed her head into the basin, and turned on the tap. He let the ice-cold water quickly flow onto the lady’s head.

The lady immediately wanted to struggle, but Tang Wulin’s well-placed finger on her waist had left her limbs weak. She could not move at all. She was completely at Tang Wulin’s mercy.

“You…what’re you doing?!” A middle-aged woman passing by could not stand the sight. She scolded Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin sighed. “My daughter’s a good-for-nothing. She’s so young, but she’s frequently hanging outside with the wrong crowds. I must teach her a lesson. Look at this, can’t you smell that strong odor of alcohol on her? She’s driving me mad.”

“Mmhh! who’s…who’s your…” The lady had regained some consciousness under the stimulus of cold water. She wanted to shout but could not speak up. The cold water gushed into her mouth and nose under Tang Wulin’s control. It had completely suppressed her speech.

When the questioning middle-aged woman heard Tang Wulin’s words, her expression immediately changed and she mercilessly said, “Young people these days! Such an unruly bunch. Big brother, you’re doing the right thing. I support you!”

Tang Wulin currently appeared to be a middle-aged man. He had no qualms against using his outer appearance.

He allowed the water to run for a whole ten minutes. When the lady’s consciousness became muddled again, Tang Wulin pulled her up. He waved his arms and a gentle soul power squeezed out all the water from her hair. He brought her out of the public toilet and returned to the streets.

Shen Xing felt uncomfortable right now. She shivered from the cold. The water in the toilet was very cold, and she had vomited out most of the consumed alcohol. She was conscious currently, but her hair was still wet. Her entire head was cold from the running tap water. Her body was shivering and her lips were still pale. However, she could finally see the appearance of the person before her.

“You…you…”

After being washed by the water for such a long time, the thick makeup on her face was long gone. Her current looks were much more beautiful than when she did not wear the makeup.

‘It is her!’

Tang Wulin could not help but feel slightly helpless. “Go back home if you’re sober. You’re a girl, you should drink less.” After he said this, Tang Wulin turned around and left.

He had no obligation to watch over her in the first place. What he did just now was what his conscience had compelled him to do. He never thought of having anything more to do with Shen Xing.

“Stop right there!” Shen Xing suddenly shouted with her girly voice.

However, Tang Wulin had no intention of entertaining her. He continued leaving.

A trace of anger flashed across Shen Xing’s eyes. She quickly moved and circles of soul rings rose from under her feet. Impressively, she had five soul rings now. Her movement was extremely fast. With one quick movement, she had blocked Tang Wulin’s way.

“Anything else?” Tang Wulin looked at her with calm eyes.

Shen Xing was panting. However, the alcohol and cold in her body were quickly vanishing under the flow of her soul power.

“Who are you? Why did I sense a familiar aura on you? I don’t recognize you.” Shen Xing had grown up in a military family. Now as an outstanding genius in the army, she immediately sensed that something was off when she sobered up. This average-looking middle-aged man whom she had not met before gave her a sense of familiarity that was difficult to describe. Also, her sixth sense was sharp too. She felt that she should not let this person go.

Tang Wulin’s dark eyes that were very suitable for a middle-aged man suddenly brightened up. “Sometimes it’s not a good thing to not know much.”

He raised a hand as he said this and proceeded to smack Shen Xing. Shen Xing was stunned and wanted to instinctively dodge it. She thought that it would be better for her to capture the person before her with her five-ringed Soul King’s cultivation base.

However, when she wanted to block it, she was frightened to notice that her opponent’s seemingly ordinary smack could not be evaded no matter what she did. She could only look on helplessly as the smack reached her forehead.

Her vision darkened and she fell on her buttocks. Fright. However, Shen Xing’s mind became extremely clear in that instant. The familiar aura, familiar voice, and the familiar pair of eyes that brightened up in the end.

‘It’s him, it’s him, it’s him!’

She desperately screamed in her heart. However, she was not even able to make a single sound. The darkness before her eyes had persisted for a dozen seconds before she regained her sight. When she could see everything before her again, Tang Wulin was nowhere to be seen.

‘He came…he’s in Mingdu City!’ This thought surged like a fountain in her heart.

Ever since she left the Northern Navy Corps and returned to Mingdu City, the nightmare in Shen Xing’s mind had reappeared. It was still faint in the beginning, but it gradually grew clear.

She should be hating the fellow who had once blackmailed her. However, she did not know why but for some reason, she could not muster the flames of anger in her heart. More importantly, emotions that were difficult to describe had appeared in her heart.

The same person would appear in her dreams every day. The impression this person left in her mind was unimaginable. Under such circumstances, Shen Xing had a serious case of insomnia. It was so bad that she was unable to sleep without the help of alcohol.
