Someone Else Took a Shortcut

"Help!"

Just as Qing Mo had his eyes closed, browsing the system shop and wondering what he should take from it to play with this time, a cry for help interrupted him.

A masked woman dressed in black leather hurriedly ran behind Qing Mo. Immediately after, more than twenty young men in black suits arrived in front of him.

"Kid, are you with the woman behind you?"

Liu Yurou had just been about to make a move when Qing Mo pressed a hand on her shoulder.

"I don't know this woman at all. Do as you please!"

After Qing Mo said that, he pulled Liu Yurou along and prepared to leave.

"The woman behind you stole something from my Li Family. We chased her all the way here, and when she got here, she actually stopped running and hid behind you. That can't help making people suspect that you're her backup, can it?"

The men in black opened up a path, and a man in a crisp suit walked toward Qing Mo and the others. His features were handsome as if carved by a knife, and on his wicked yet beautiful face, an unruly smile now hung at the corners of his lips.

"What you suspect is your business. I said I don't know this woman."

Qing Mo had no intention of getting involved in this nonsense. If he hadn't been worried Liu Yurou would use too much force and destroy the entire city, he wouldn't have bothered saying so much.

He had only just transmigrated to a world similar to his old home and was planning to have some proper fun. He absolutely couldn't let Liu Yurou wipe it out with a single slap.

"I stole the thing out according to your request. Help me hold them off. We'll meet at the old place!"

The woman who had originally been hiding behind Qing Mo threw down those words, then slipped away until not even her shadow could be seen.

"Heh. Judging by this world's cultivation realms, that woman should be an acquired martial artist!"

Qing Mo had noticed from the start that there was a power inside that woman's body different from ordinary people's. It should count as something like inner force. Earlier, she had used the time while he was talking to the other side to recover a little, then immediately greased the soles of her feet and ran.

The rich young master watched as the woman who had stolen from his family slipped away again the moment he wasn't paying attention, and he couldn't help getting somewhat angry.

"Kid, where's this old place you two were talking about? It's fine if you don't say!

This young master has plenty of methods. Take him alive. Bring him back and pry his mouth open!"

In truth, that woman hadn't gone far. She was hidden nearby, and she was also worried about Qing Mo and Liu Yurou. She had originally planned that if things truly went badly, she would ambush the Li Family young master and take him hostage so Qing Mo and Liu Yurou could leave.

She watched as the men in black had not even rushed in front of Qing Mo before they all collapsed to the ground, unable to get up. Qing Mo took one step forward and arrived in front of the Li Family young master. Before the other party could react, Qing Mo had already seized him by the throat and lifted him up.

"I wanted to leave, but you wouldn't let me. Now you can't leave. Do you have any last words?"

The Li Family young master was held in midair by Qing Mo's grip around his throat. His whole body seemed to have had all its strength drained away, leaving only his two hands clutching Qing Mo's arm for dear life.

"Who exactly are you? I'm the eldest young master of the Li Family. If you know what's good for you, hurry up and let me go. My Li Family has innate martial—"

Crack. Only the sound of bone breaking was heard.

Before the Li Family young master could finish speaking, Qing Mo twisted his neck and broke it. His two hands drooped down, while his eyes still remained open.

Qing Mo casually flung the Li Family young master's corpse aside, glanced toward the woman hidden in the shadows, then left the hillside cemetery together with Liu Yurou.

"Master, these mortals aren't worthy of you personally making a move at all!"

Liu Yurou did not understand why Qing Mo had stopped her and insisted on acting himself.

On the way down the mountain, Qing Mo snapped his fingers and changed his hairstyle to a foil perm. A white casual shirt paired with black trousers and white sneakers made him look every bit like a proper sunny young man.

"This place is, after all, not very different from the world I'm familiar with. If you made a move, I'm afraid the entire city would be slapped into flying ash by you. That's why I stopped you."

Qing Mo and Liu Yurou strolled along the street. Qing Mo told Liu Yurou the rules of this world and the things she needed to pay attention to. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble that might happen in the future, all he wanted for now was to properly enjoy urban life.

If he ran into anyone too jumpy, he would pinch them to death along with the forces behind them!

On the other side, the woman who had originally been hiding in the shadows of the cemetery saw Qing Mo so easily twist the neck of Li Ming, the Li Family young master who was in the same realm as her, and she also had no idea what method he had used to make those men in black die instantly.

Moreover, she could not sense even the slightest trace of inner force from Qing Mo and Liu Yurou. If she had seen them normally, she would definitely have taken them for ordinary people.

She was so frightened that she covered her mouth. Fortunately, the other party had not attacked her, or her fate might have been the same as those people from the Li Family.

"He... he couldn't be a disciple of those Hidden Sects, could he? He seems even stronger than Ye Fan!"

The woman in black had no time to think further and disappeared into the night. But she knew that now that Li Ming was dead, an earthquake was about to happen in Jiang City!

Qing Mo did not think that much. He took Liu Yurou to find a place to rest, and they battled fiercely through the night.

The next day, Qing Mo opened his eyes and looked at Liu Yurou, whose face was flushed as she sprawled on his chest like an octopus, revealing a large expanse of spring light. His mood could not help turning wonderful. Looking at Liu Yurou's flawless, snow-white back, Qing Mo could not resist reaching out to caress it.

"Mmm... Master~!"

Liu Yurou opened her lazy eyes, recalling that it had been a very, very long time since she had slept as peacefully as a mortal.

"You're awake? You were pretty impressive last night."

"Aiya! Master~!"

When Liu Yurou heard Qing Mo say that, her whole face flushed terribly. She hugged Qing Mo tightly and buried her head in his arms.

"All right! Get up! I'll take you to experience the life of urban mortals!"

Qing Mo patted Liu Yurou's perky little bottom.

Liu Yurou slowly got up. That devilishly alluring figure of hers, with two long, slender, fair arms like tender lotus roots, naturally hung at her slim little waist, which was as thin as a water snake. Then, right in front of Qing Mo, she slowly began changing clothes.

Watching her made Qing Mo's heart itch unbearably, and he almost carried out justice on Liu Yurou right there again!

Qing Mo thought to himself, What a little vixen!

Inside the Li Family villa, the head of the Li Family, Li Linhao, stared at his son's corpse and raged impotently at the subordinates in the room!

"Trash, useless rice buckets! What the hell do you people even do? What's the point of me keeping you around? From last night until now, you haven't found out a damn thing?"

The furniture in the Li Family villa was smashed every which way by Li Linhao, all to vent the grief and fury in his heart!

"Ah Hao!"

Behind Li Linhao, Old Master Li's heavy voice rang out, pulling Li Linhao back from the edge of madness!

"Dad!"

"What use is there in being angry? I examined Xiao Ming's condition. He was restrained in a single move, then had his neck twisted and broken. As for those subordinates, there were no obvious external injuries on their bodies, but their hearts had all been shattered!

Only a Grandmaster could so easily shatter another person's heart. And Xiao Ming was also a Houtian martial artist—even I, a Xiantian martial artist, couldn't possibly subdue him in one move."

Old Master Li clenched both fists tightly as he looked at Li Linhao and spoke his deduction. His tone was very calm, but everyone familiar with him knew that the calmer he looked, the more sky-high the fury in his heart was!

When Li Linhao heard that his son had died at the hands of a Grandmaster, he staggered backward, then finally collapsed onto the floor.

"Master, Old Master, there's a clue about Young Master's matter!"

The butler's voice came from outside the door!
