The Female Driver and the Killer

A fair and graceful lady, sought day and night. Unable to obtain her, he thought of her day and night.

Chen Nan currently had much the same mindset toward Transcendents. Thus, every day, he spent a great deal of time thinking about them and searching for information online.

But thinking could only solve some of his own questions, while the information about Transcendents online was all vague and general, never touching upon anything substantive.

Things like their cultivation methods, cultivation resources, ranking systems, and so on were nowhere to be found. There was, however, plenty of boasting about them—news about destroying heaven and earth was brought up at every turn.

It was like the woman he yearned for. He could not strike up a conversation with her, and the more praise he heard about her, the more anxious he became, wishing he could get her into his hands sooner.

While Chen Nan let his thoughts run wild, Jiang Lili had already driven into Wu City. They ate dinner at a restaurant, then returned to rest.

By his plan, they would rest for the night. But the two women refused. Having tasted the sweetness of what they could get from Chen Nan, they did not want to let him off for even one night. So when evening came, the three of them drove to the casino again.

Since Chen Nan always won, the casino had taken some notice of him. Fortunately, the amounts he won were not particularly large, so the casino merely kept a close eye on him and had no intention of taking action.

Unfortunately, while the casino had no such intention, quite a few gamblers had begun making moves against him.

The clever ones began following Chen Nan's bets. If Chen Nan bet big, they bet big; if he bet small, they bet small. They did manage to gain a little advantage.

Unfortunately, how could the casino staff be easy people to deal with?

The dealer had not planned to use any tricks, but Chen Nan had forced his hand, so he had no choice but to use some. As a result, triples began appearing more frequently.

When all three dice showed the same number, the dealer took all. No matter whether the gamblers bet big or small, the dealer collected their money.

That meant earning from both sides in a single round. Whenever this happened, Chen Nan was not unaware of it, yet he still placed his bets as casually as usual.

The dealer glanced at Chen Nan, who merely gave an almost imperceptible nod. The dealer smiled, knowing that this kid was at least sensible.

Without such little details, Chen Nan still wanted to gamble here? That was truly the dream of a fool.

The other group eyeing Chen Nan was much stupider, but far more direct. Seeing that Chen Nan was just a kid with two women, and that both women were exceptionally beautiful, they developed thoughts of robbing them of both money and women.

Here, keeping wealth hidden was about as difficult as a woman in a bathhouse hiding her lovely face. So it was inevitable that greedy fools would set their sights on them.

By midnight, Chen Nan had still won over two thousand yuan. The two women were also thoroughly satisfied, and they left.

Just as they departed, three people followed close behind. Chen Nan's hearing had already become extremely sharp, so how could he fail to hear them?

He immediately urged, "Quick, get back in the car!"

The two women obeyed Chen Nan without question and immediately began running. They both knew danger must be coming, and panic surged through them.

At least Jiang Lili had not panicked herself senseless. While running, she took out the car keys and remotely unlocked the doors.

The idiots behind them even shouted, "Stop!" That only made the three of them run faster.

They quickly got into the car, and the three men arrived just in time. Each had a vicious look on his face, gripping a machete as they blocked the front of Jiang Lili's car.

The car was already started. Those three criminals were stupid enough, their minds utterly muddled. If you wanted to block someone, should you not first consider what kind of person the driver was? Jiang Lili was a standard female driver!

One stomp on the accelerator, and the three perfectly healthy men were all swept beneath the wheels. The car ran over something, and Jiang Lili knew she had run over people, so in her great kindness, she braked and stopped right there.

Chen Nan was speechless. He shouted, "You stopped on top of them! How are they not supposed to get crushed to death?"

Jiang Lili immediately nodded. "Oh, right!"

Then, in her panic, the woman actually shifted into reverse. Chen Nan sighed, and she also came to her senses, quickly driving forward again.

But in an instant, Jiang Lili became clever. If I drive forward again, won't that be running them over a second time? So she reversed again. Then she felt that was wrong too. Her mind went blank with panic, her hands and feet completely refusing to obey her, and the car began spinning in place...

Chen Nan crouched in the shadows, feeling like he wanted to die. At the same time, he made up his mind that even if he were to challenge an entire nation in the future, he must never provoke a female driver.

When the patrol officers and ambulance arrived, several people vomited. Fortunately, the medical staff had some immunity to such scenes and did not react too severely. They merely asked the patrol officers, "Do these bodies still need us to shovel them up and take them back for treatment?"

Naturally not. The ambulance returned in triumph.

Only the patrol officers remained to deal with the scene.

All three of them were taken to the station. Jiang Lili's face was deathly pale throughout, and whenever anyone asked her anything, she startled violently. She could not answer at all.

Therefore, Chen Nan and Feng Wu answered all the questions about what had happened.

Qingyang Kingdom had an excellent legal system: self-defense came with no limits. Of course, this rule only applied to ordinary people and did not fully include Transcendents, who were subject to some additional regulations.

However, for ordinary people, when their lives or property were threatened, they could use any means to defend themselves.

After reviewing the footage from that time, it was already very clear that Chen Nan's group of three had been under threat to their lives. Therefore, Jiang Lili bore no legal responsibility for driving over and killing those people.

Of course, she should have been punished for running them over repeatedly. But because it had been an uncontrollable act after she received an extreme shock, even punishment for negligence was waived.

After all the records had been completed, the three of them were released.

This time, Feng Wu drove. It seemed Jiang Lili would not get over this trauma anytime soon.

That very day, what Jiang Lili had done made the news and spread wildly online. Fame had come far too suddenly, and in the most muddleheaded way possible.

But it sent a clear message to all robbers: if you wanted to rob a woman, do not let her get into a car.

After returning home, Feng Wu drove the car out to be cleaned, and Chen Nan went with her. He wanted to visit a weapons shop.

Although guns were banned here, weapons carried on one's person were not prohibited. Thus, there were quite a lot of weapons shops.

Chen Nan had handled some of the weapons here and discovered that they were all sturdier and sharper than those on Earth. Basically, any one of them brought to Earth could be considered a divine weapon.

Therefore, against ordinary people, ordinary weapons were enough.

At the weapons shop, he bought a pair of Twin Duckbill Sabers. He was small to begin with, so these suited him best.

On the way back, Feng Wu saw Chen Nan take out such short weapons and mocked him, saying that he truly was still just a child. What use could those things possibly be?

Jiang Lili had been frightened into trauma and did not return to the casino for several days. However, once her emotions had fully settled, the casino trips resumed.

When the three of them appeared again, undercurrents stirred throughout the casino. The three men who had died before had brothers, and now those brothers had come for revenge.

However, they did not dare make a move inside the casino. No one dared cause trouble there.

At the same time, they understood that they could not wait until that woman got into the car before acting. Thus, they lay in ambush near where Jiang Lili parked.

At midnight, Chen Nan and the two women came out after winning money. In the empty parking area, five or six burly men suddenly emerged in a rush.

Holding all sorts of weapons, they closed in on the three of them.

Chen Nan immediately shouted, "Run back to the casino!"

Feng Wu grabbed Jiang Lili and ran back. From across the way, someone shouted, "Damn it, don't let that bitch get away!"

But Chen Nan blocked their path. He stood there, his heart pounding while his face remained calm, and said, "I've been waiting for you for quite a few days. Are you all here today?"

The lead criminal cursed, "Brat, what the hell do you mean?"

Chen Nan sneered. "Aren't you going to make a move?"

The criminals looked at one another, thinking, What nonsense is this? Then they bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they charged forward.

There were six of them in all. Every one of their movements was analyzed by Chen Nan, and responses appeared at the same time.

Because the AI System had refined those martial arts techniques and transmitted them into Chen Nan's central and motor nervous systems, even without any arduous training, his martial arts had already reached the highest level.

With clear analysis of both the overall battle and every detail, it was nearly impossible for Chen Nan to lose.

He moved. Under his feet were the Nine Palaces Bagua Steps, and in his hands was the Body-Wandering Bagua Palm.

Under the streetlights, the six criminals saw Chen Nan appearing ahead and then behind, shifting left and right. They could not grab him or hit him. A moment later, a string of miserable screams rang out.

Chen Nan came to a stop, shook the blood from his weapons, and wiped them clean before hanging them at his waist.

He watched those people struggle on the ground. Their wounds were not fatal, but they had lost the ability to move for the time being. More importantly, Chen Nan had cut open different major arteries on each of them.

Thus, the claim that their injuries were not fatal was only temporary.

After a while, Chen Nan took out his phone. He first called the police and emergency services, then called the two women back.

The three of them entered the station once again, leaving the patrol officers utterly helpless.

But this time, even though Chen Nan had the foundation of a Transcendent, they could not convict him. He had not killed them, and none of their wounds had been immediately fatal. It was simply that the doctors arrived too late to save their lives.

That responsibility had to be pinned on the doctors.

The three were declared not guilty and released once more. From then on, no one was willing to come looking for trouble with Chen Nan and the others again.
