Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

The sharp, biting voice made Jiang Chen’s expression darken slightly.

He looked toward the source of the sound.

At the tailor shop’s entrance, two women with waists like water barrels waddled in, dressed flamboyantly and caked in gaudy makeup.

The two women were adorned with all sorts of jewelry, likely dozens of pieces. Despite the hot sun outside, they wore thick mink furs around their necks, as if terrified someone might not know they had money.

Their eyes, squeezed into thin slits by folds of fat, glinted with disdain and contempt as they looked over Jiang Chen and his companions.

Behind the two fat women followed four handsome, lavishly dressed young men.

These four youths had abundant vital energy; each was a Martial Artist of the True Martial Realm.

The four also had their noses in the air, paying Jiang Chen and his group no mind whatsoever.

Just as Jiang Chen was sizing up the two fat women with disgust, they were also looking at him.

Jiang Chen possessed a proud and sharp aura.

He had far more masculine charm than the four pretty boys behind them, causing the two fat women’s eyes to light up with a feverish glow. The one in red licked the corner of her mouth and said with a heated expression, "Oh my, what a handsome little thing! I’d be willing to gain another ten pounds if it meant I could have a taste of him..."

"Sister, why don’t we go ask his price!"

The other fat woman, dressed in green, said, "He’s just some country bumpkin from the sticks. If we offer him a little extra money, you think he won’t come with us?"

"You’re right, sister!"

The woman in red grinned.

Her mouth stretched nearly to her ears, revealing a set of large, yellow teeth that were truly nauseating!

The two fat women walked toward Jiang Chen’s group.

Seeing this, the shop attendant quickly whispered to Jiang Chen, "Honored guest, you should leave this way, quickly. Those two are bad news. If they get their hooks into you, you’ll have a hard time leaving."

"Huh?"

Jiang Chen was taken aback.

At that very moment, the two fat women had already reached him, flanking him on his left and right.

Four small eyes scanned Jiang Chen up and down. As she ran her tongue over her lipstick-smeared lips, the woman in red struck a coquettish pose. "Hello, handsome. I am Shen Cuihua, and this is my little sister, Shen Ruhua... We sisters get so lonely at night. We’d like to invite you to spend a wonderful evening with us. What do you say?"

Beside her, Shen Ruhua, in green, squeezed her arms—each as thick as a grown man’s thigh—together, batting her eyes in a forced attempt to look alluring.

The corner of Jiang Chen’s eye twitched, and his face darkened. "..."

Black Emperor covered his eyes with his fleshy wings. "My eyes! My eyes are burning..."

Little White just looked bewildered.

It just felt a little nauseous.

Xiaoyou, frightened, hugged Jiang Chen’s neck tightly, burying her little head in his shoulder.

Seeing Jiang Chen’s lack of response, impatient expressions appeared on Shen Cuihua and Shen Ruhua’s fleshy faces.

Shen Ruhua snapped, "Motherfucker, aren’t you a little too ungrateful for a country bumpkin?"

Shen Cuihua added, "Come on, kid, just come with us! Keep us company for a while. If you take good care of us sisters, we’ll make it worth your while!"

As she spoke, Shen Cuihua lifted a hand like a pig’s trotter and reached for Jiang Chen.

The corner of Jiang Chen’s eye twitched again. With a quick slip of his feet, he dodged, causing Shen Cuihua to grab at empty air. Her lunge was forceful, and with her ball-like body, she lost her balance and fell to the ground with a THUD. She crashed into a pile of clothing racks and rolled like a ball a couple of times before stopping, belly-up with her limbs in the air.

"PFFT!"

The surrounding crowd couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"Who? Who the fuck dares to laugh at me?" Shen Cuihua roared, then yelled at the four handsome youths standing dumbfounded nearby, "What are you waiting for? Help me up!"

The four young men hurried forward and helped Shen Cuihua to her feet.

Shen Cuihua’s face was grim, but then she heard a clear giggle. Like an enraged tiger, she snapped her head up and glared in the direction of the sound.

The crisp, pleasant laughter came from Xiaoyou in Jiang Chen’s arms.

On Xiaoyou’s cute, rosy face, her big eyes were curved into crescents from laughing.

She giggled. "Legs in the air! She looked like a turtle when she fell! Hehehe..."

"Hahaha, the little girl’s right! She really did look like a turtle!"

"A fat turtle, at that!"

"Look at that little girl, isn’t she adorable? Rosy-cheeked, just like a porcelain doll!"

"She’s definitely got the makings of a great beauty!"

Many customers in the tailor shop were charmed by Xiaoyou’s innocent laughter and couldn’t help but praise her.

Shen Ruhua walked to Shen Cuihua’s side, her face dark, and said through gritted teeth, "Sister, they’re calling you a turtle..."

"I’m not fucking deaf!"

Shen Cuihua roared, her malicious gaze fixed on Jiang Chen and Xiaoyou. "That damned country bumpkin, he made a fool of me! I’ll kill him. And that little bitch! Look at her, such a little vixen. Growing up looking like that, she’s bound to become a menace, isn’t she? I’m going to tear her face to shreds..."

As she spoke, Shen Cuihua was already charging furiously toward Xiaoyou.

Her pig-trotter-like arms swung out, reaching for Xiaoyou.

Terrified, Xiaoyou quickly hid in Jiang Chen’s arms.

Facing the charging Shen Cuihua, Jiang Chen frowned, took a few steps back to avoid her, and barked in a deep voice, "Halt!"

His voice was sonorous, like a clap of thunder.

Jiang Chen’s shout startled Shen Cuihua so badly that she froze on the spot, her legs trembling. She wet herself right there, filling the air with an unbearable stench.

A moment later, a piercing shriek rang out.

Shen Cuihua’s fleshy face was twisted with ferocity and venom as she screamed, "How dare you shout at me? Not even my own father has ever shouted at me like that! I’ll kill you! Kill you!"

Shen Cuihua grabbed a nearby table and hurled it at Xiaoyou.

Jiang Chen snorted coldly. "Begone!"

BOOM!

A wave of energy surged forth, shattering the table with the force of his voice alone and sending Shen Cuihua flying.

She slammed heavily against the wall.

Shen Ruhua’s expression changed drastically. She shot Jiang Chen a venomous glare and roared at the four young men, "What are you all staring at? Didn’t you see my sister get hit? Get that country bumpkin and the little bitch in his arms!"

"Understood!"

"We’re on it!"

The four young men’s expressions hardened. They couldn’t afford to offend the Shen sisters, who were their meal tickets, after all!

The four looked at Jiang Chen with vicious sneers, cracking their knuckles. "Kid, you can only blame yourself for not knowing what’s good for you and offending the two ladies!"

"Surrender now, and maybe you’ll suffer a little less!"

With vicious sneers, the four youths charged at Jiang Chen.

All four were Martial Artists of the True Martial Realm.

As they attacked, surging True Qi erupted from their hands, and they held nothing back with their Martial Skills.

"Mountain-Opening Palm!"

"Earth-Splitting Fist!"

"Thunderbolt Fist!"

"Netherworld Finger!"

They immediately unleashed killing moves. If Jiang Chen had been an ordinary person, he would have undoubtedly died facing such an assault!

Clearly, this was not the first time they had done something like this.

A murderous glint flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes. As he retreated, he patted Xiaoyou on the back. The little girl obediently covered her ears with her small, rosy hands and closed her eyes.

Jiang Chen then stamped his foot, faced the four, and let out a low roar, "Begone!"

Begone!

That single word seemed to echo.

The four men froze, then fell backward onto the ground, bleeding from their seven orifices. They had been scared to death!

"Wh-What?"

Shen Cuihua and Shen Ruhua looked at the four dead men, trembling all over. The sisters clung to each other tightly, both having thoroughly soaked their trousers.

Jiang Chen gave them a cold glance. "You should be thankful I don’t hit women. I’ll let you go this time. But if you dare to provoke me again, I will make you regret ever being born into this world!"

After the two had caused such a disturbance, Jiang Chen was no longer in the mood to shop for clothes. He held Xiaoyou and strode away.

Shen Ruhua burst out crying, "Sister, I... I... I was almost scared to death just now."

"M-Me too..."

Shen Cuihua swallowed hard, her venomous eyes fixed on Jiang Chen’s departing back. She ground her teeth. "Don’t be afraid, sister. We’ll go tell Father right now. That country bumpkin, and that little bitch... I will make sure they are torn to pieces!"
