Why Don't You Ask Whether He Fears Me?

"What are you standing around for? Let's go!"

It was only when Chu Sheng walked up to her that Su Qing finally came back to her senses.

They were just leaving like that?

Since when had the Zheng Family become so easy to talk to?

When Su Qing saw Chu Sheng blow up the Zheng Family's front gate, only one thought remained in her mind.

He's going to get me killed.

Yet she had never expected that not only would the two of them leave alive, they would even bring someone back with them.

With so many people in the Zheng Family, not one of them had dared so much as fart.

Just what kind of deity was this Chu Sheng...

When the two returned to the Jingwu Bureau, they caused another tremendous uproar.

First, he had crippled Zheng Hu.

Now, he had gone to the Zheng Family and brought back a young girl.

After hearing Su Qing's vivid account.

Chu Sheng utterly overturned everyone's understanding.

He had slapped the Zheng Family across the face right in front of them, and they had not even dared let out a fart.

This had nothing to do with strength anymore.

It was all about backing!

The Jingwu Bureau had gained a young master with divine powers and vast abilities!

Everyone envied Su Qing for being able to carry out missions with Chu Sheng.

Little did they know that Su Qing dearly wished she could hand that opportunity over to them.

She was simply too scared.

It was true that Chu Sheng had backing, but she did not.

If she got caught in the crossfire, she would be the fish in that pond.

Before long, Chu Sheng returned.

"Let's go."

It was still only morning. They had plenty of time.

Chu Sheng intended to arrest Gu Changge, who had become addicted to reading Tomato novels, as soon as possible.

The car drove all the way out of the city.

It was not until evening that they finally arrived at their destination.

Unlike the Earth Abyss outside Baian City, there was no Abyss Quelling Department stationed here.

There were countless Earth Abysses throughout the Federation, and the Abyss Quelling Department did not have enough manpower for all of them.

Therefore, the government tacitly allowed certain Earth Abysses far from cities to be managed by civilian organizations.

This Earth Abyss was managed by the Min Family of Shengze City.

Above the Earth Abyss stood a small fortified settlement.

Food, drink, entertainment—everything was available.

But because it was in the wilderness and privately managed.

Order here was maintained entirely by force and money.

Murder and arson?

No big deal. Just pay the Min Family a fine.

When the guards at the entrance saw Chu Sheng and Su Qing in uniform, they immediately piled on smiles.

"Well, well, rare guests! To think esteemed officers of the Jingwu Bureau would have time to visit our humble settlement. Could it be that someone here has committed a crime?"

Su Qing stepped forward, paid the entrance fee, and said with a smile.

"That's right. There's a small case, but it has nothing to do with the settlement."

The guard did not say much, merely offering a reminder.

"The settlement has its own rules. Once you enter, you must follow them. Arresting people is no problem, but don't break the rules. Otherwise, nobody will look good when the time comes."

After entering the settlement, Chu Sheng asked.

"What rules are there?"

"Oh, nothing much. No fighting, brawling, murder, arson, that sort of thing. More or less the same as outside."

Behind them, the guards curled their lips as they watched the pair's backs.

"They dare come here to arrest someone? They've got some nerve."

"How many decent people are in this settlement? I'd say there's an eighty percent chance they'll fold here."

"I'm betting ninety. That kid's gaze is fucking strange. One glance from him gave me goosebumps all over. If he runs into someone hot-tempered, they'll start throwing down on the spot."

"Fuck, you felt that too? I did too just now. I thought it was an illusion."

"Same here..."

Chu Sheng and Su Qing wore Jingwu Bureau uniforms, making them exceptionally conspicuous here.

The people around them kept glancing their way.

A lecherous-looking man sidled up to them.

"Esteemed officers, are you here on a case? Need to hire some bodyguards? We've got everything from fifth-stage Qi Sea Realm to peak Qi Sea Realm. Fair prices, honest business for young and old alike."

Chu Sheng slowly came to a stop.

"You still need to hire bodyguards inside this settlement?"

The lecherous man's eyes lit up as he said with a grin.

"This settlement is a mixed bag of fish and dragons. Plenty of people here have blood on their hands. Who knows who you came to arrest? Aren't you afraid they'll jump the wall in desperation, join forces, and strike first?"

Chu Sheng laughed at that.

He had not expected this settlement to be a den of thieves.

"Thanks."

The two were about to leave when the lecherous man suddenly reached out and blocked them.

"Officer, thank you for your patronage. Ten thousand."

Seeing their puzzled expressions, the lecherous man smiled.

"You just asked me a question. That question was worth ten thousand. What, are you planning to skip out on the bill?"

Chu Sheng smiled faintly. "No."

At once, delight spread across the lecherous man's face. He was just about to praise them for knowing what was good for them and urge them to pay.

When Chu Sheng continued.

"But you just asked me a question too. One hundred million. Deduct your share, then round it down for you. Just give me ninety million."

"Huh!?" The lecherous man's expression changed. "You dare mess wi—"

Bang—

Before he could finish, Chu Sheng sent him flying more than ten meters with a kick.

"What the hell are you? You dare extort law enforcement officers? Do you know Liang Jingru?"

Disciplined a lawbreaker bold enough to defy heaven

This scene directly stunned everyone around them.

A bald man said gleefully.

"Haha, you're finished. He's one of the Min Family's people."

Su Qing's expression changed, and she hurriedly said.

"This Earth Abyss is managed by the Min Family. They even have a True Essence Realm expert stationed here. We should leave first."

The lecherous man struggled to prop himself up, his face full of venom.

"Leave? In your dreams..."

Behind him, four settlement guards shoved through the crowd.

All of them were at the fifth stage of the Qi Sea Realm, with a burly middle-aged man leading them.

They had been in league with the lecherous man from the start, specifically targeting hot-blooded young people with this little performance.

First, they intimidated them with the settlement's rules, then persuaded them to settle things with money.

They had never failed with this trick.

The middle-aged man said coldly, "Fighting is forbidden in this settlement. Offenders have all four limbs broken. Those are our rules. Do you have any objections!?"

"Yes." Chu Sheng nodded.

The middle-aged man froze. It was the first time he had heard a different answer.

"Oh? You think this rule is unreasonable?"

"It's reasonable, but it isn't legal. Setting up a private torture hall—you've already broken the law. Do you know that!?"

The guards froze for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Even the middle-aged man could not help sighing at Chu Sheng's naivety.

"Kid, we have indeed broken the law. What, you think you can enforce it here?"

"What else?"

With that.

Chu Sheng stepped forward, and the crackle of electricity erupted.

The next instant, a massive purple thunder dragon roared as it charged toward them.

Boom—

The moment it appeared, Chu Sheng threw a punch.

It was so fast that the surrounding crowd did not even see it clearly.

The middle-aged man's face changed drastically, but before he could intercept it, the punch landed solidly on his chest.

Crack—

His ribs shattered instantly, and the middle-aged man spat blood as he flew backward.

Then, a string of cracking sounds exploded.

The remaining three guards were all crippled.

The speed of it, the ruthlessness of it, exceeded everyone's imagination.

Disciplined four villains who had set up a private torture hall

Chu Sheng walked over to the lecherous man.

"Y-you... you..."

The lecherous man stared wide-eyed, his face full of terror.

"Don't do anything rash! The Min Family has a True Essence Realm expert stationed here!"

"True Essence Realm!? What stage?"

"Second stage! So? Scared now?"

Chu Sheng casually slapped him flying.

"He's at the second stage, and I'm at the third. Why don't you ask whether he fears me?"
