Chapter 309: Southeast Asian

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After another half a month of peace, Jiangnan province basically returned to its previous state before the war broke out.

In the forest by the river in East Lake City.

The original forest had been flattened once, and the hidden harmful plants had been cleared away. Now, normal trees had been transplanted from other places, and the forest had roughly returned to its original appearance.

Chen Yingying was practicing archery when Chen Yiming kept pointing out the flaws in her movements.

“Your starting moves are too standard. The rhythm of drawing the bow and shooting the arrow is not smooth.”

“Cultivation techniques vary from person to person. Everyone’s height, strength, and arm span are different. You have to learn to be flexible and find something that suits you best.”

“You’re shorter, so your feet can be a little further apart…”

After the figure in his mind transmitted his understanding of the Star Chasing Arrow to Chen Yiming, he went from an amateur to a master of archery.

When he looked back at his sister’s archery practice, he saw that there were problems everywhere. His words were no longer like before, where he could only give her some motivation. Instead, he could talk about the specific parts that were problematic and how to resolve the problems.

“Brother’s requirements are too harsh. The teacher said that I have mastered my archery perfectly,” Chen Yingying thought to herself.

Chen Yiming didn’t think much of it. He continued to play the role of a temporary archery teacher and gave her pointers.

His sister did as he said. Her movements, which were already very standard, became more coordinated, and she exuded an air that the arrow would do whatever she wanted.

It was also because she felt the immediate improvement. Even though Chen Yingying felt that her brother was too strict, she could only suppress her unhappiness.

......

At this moment, a few short men with yellowish-black skin avoided Chen Yiming and Chen Yingying, and entered the forest by the river. They found the shade at the foot of a tree and lay down to rest.

These men had rough and flamboyant facial features. They were clearly not from the Daxia Kingdom but from Southeast Asia.

In addition, they were dressed in tattered clothes that were not very clean. They were covered in sweat and it was obvious that they were workers who did manual labor.

“Hughes, the Daxia Kingdom is really great. The city is safe and the income is stable. They don’t even force us to take on risky jobs,” a short and muscular man with dark skin said with a smile.

As he spoke, he took out a bottle of soda from his pocket and drank it while lying down.

“That’s right. The foreman actually didn’t withhold our salary and actually paid us every day. I’ve saved up about 500 yuan these past few days. I have to find a girl to fulfill my needs tonight.”

The man called Hughes was slightly thinner, and he had a lecherous expression on his face.

The other short men at the side said in surprise, “Hughes, you’re too bold! This is the Daxia Kingdom, not Southeast Asia. Strictly speaking, we’re not even allowed to enter the city.”

Hughes didn’t think much of it. He took another sip of soda and smiled. “Isn’t having the money all they care about at that kind of place? What’s there to be afraid of?”

“Awesome! Awesome! But speaking of which, the women of the Daxia Kingdom are really beautiful. With their thin waists and fair legs, they might become so weak that they can’t work the next day,” the short man said with a smile as he drooled.

“My body is very strong. It’s not a problem for me to go seven times in one night. I have to make the most of this 500 yuan.” Hughes patted his chest and burped.

The short man rolled his eyes. “Hughes, scout it out for us. Don’t forget about us when you come back.”

Hughes laughed out loud. “You guys do my job for me tomorrow. I’ll tell you all about it when I get back.”

The short men looked at each other and promised that each of them would help out and cover Hughes’ work for the next day. The condition was that when Hughes returned, he had to explain things to them.

To the small countries in Southeast Asia, the Daxia Kingdom was like a kingdom in the sky. It seemed that they had to satisfy themselves with the women from the upper countries to hide the inferiority in their hearts.

Coupled with the fact that they had traveled under cover for over thousands of kilometers and finally found a stable environment, their desire could no longer be sated by their own hands.

Chen Yingying stopped practicing her archery and pointed at the group of Southeast Asians.

“Brother, there have been many foreigners in the city these past few days. I have a middle school classmate who was on her way home from her evening self-study session and was almost ambushed by someone.”

Chen Yiming spread out his spiritual power and scanned half of East Lake City. He realized that the Southeast Asians in East Lake City were doing a lot of hard labor such as construction work, unloading vehicles, transporting and chopping meat, as well as some dangerous transportation jobs.

He frowned and said in a low voice, “These Southeast Asians should have sneaked into the Daxia Kingdom. It’s understandable that they are used as cheap labor, but we should also tighten our control over them and not just leave them to do as they wish.”

Chen Yingying echoed, “That’s right, that’s right. That classmate of mine was almost captured and thrown into the fields. I heard that she doesn’t even dare to leave the house or go to school now.”

Next, Chen Yiming instructed his sister to continue strengthening her foundation and work on the problems he had pointed out. Then, he left the riverside.

Unlike what Chen Yingying saw on the surface, Chen Yiming could clearly hear the private conversations between the Southeast Asians with his spiritual power.

Recently, the Southeast Asian countries had fallen into a state of chaos. It seemed that there was a problem along the coastline.

However, these Southeast Asians did not know what exactly had happened. They only heard that the Daxia Kingdom was the strongest country on the blue planet, so they thought of ways to sneak over. Therefore, this situation happened.

At 9 pm, the streets were filled with pedestrians.

At a roadside barbecue stall, the full 10 over tables were filled with customers. The boss was so busy that he barely had time to catch a break.

At one of the tables, seven or eight Southeast Asians were drinking and eating barbecue.

“Barlow, drink up,” a short and thin man shouted.

He was covered in grease, and his clothes were tattered and patched up. In addition, he was barefooted, and one could catch a whiff of a strange smell when they walked past him.

“Cheers! Cheers!” Barlow picked up his beer and downed it in one gulp.

The others did the same and downed their large mugs of beer in one go.

It was not only the short and thin man. None of the people at the table were clean. If not for their well-defined muscles, one would have thought that they were beggars.

“This job is too tiring. That supervisor is trying to kill us,” the short and thin man grumbled as he downed a mug of beer.

“What can we do? This is a foreign country. Can you beat up the supervisor?” Barlow grinned.

“I really can’t stand working honestly. I really want to go back to my old job.” The short and thin man vented his dissatisfaction under the influence of alcohol.

The expressions of the others at the table changed, and they lowered their voices. “What nonsense are you spouting? Didn’t we agree to find a proper job and settle down for the time being?”

The short and thin man curled his lips and downed another mug of beer. He whispered, “I was just saying. It’s not easy to commit murder and arson, but you can at least get some extra income.”

“This…” The others felt an itch in their hearts when they heard this, but they were still a little hesitant.

They had ruled over others in their hometown with their rudimentary martial arts skills, and they had never been treated like this before.

However, this was the Daxia Kingdom. It was said that East Lake City was not a big city yet, but the tall city walls were filled with armed soldiers.

Everything made it so that no one dared to act rashly.

The short and thin man lowered his voice. “We can’t let that supervisor think that he can bully us as he pleases. I’ll plan for all of us to be absent from work for a few days. We’ll find a remote place to steal some lunch money.”

Barlow was still a little hesitant. “Are we really going to do that? If we get caught…”

The short and thin man did not reply to Barlow. Instead, he poured out beer for everyone at the table. “Working for someone? I’ve never done such hard work in my life.”

After a pause, he continued, “I’ll say this first. I’ll go and find a target tonight, whether you guys want to do it or not.”

After class, Chen Yingying and a few female students left along the main road from East Lake Second High.

These female students were Chen Yingying’s classmates from before she joined the East Lake Martial Arts Academy.

“Yingying, thank you so much,” a girl whose house was further away said as they walked.

To the middle school students of East Lake City’s Second High, Chen Yingying was a true martial arts expert. Their form teacher had said that she was the most talented student he had ever taught.

They did not dare to say anything about how things would be in the future, but at least everyone felt relieved tonight.

“I’m fine, but why didn’t the school suspend the evening self-study? They must know that the streets are troubled at night,” Chen Yingying asked.

“We don’t know either. The teacher said that the school is already thinking of a solution. They want us to go home together and try to take the main roads,” the girls beside her explained.

Chen Yingying asked again, “How’s Jiayi’s situation? Is she still not at school?”

“She won’t be attending school for the time being. Her parents came to school today and asked the form teacher to let her take a leave of absence,” a girl said.

Chen Yingying nodded and asked, “Alright! I want to visit Jiayi. Do you guys want to come with me?”

“With you around, Yingying, what are we afraid of? Of course we’ll go together,” the girls said in unison.

The Jiayi they were talking about lived in an old house in the suburbs. Even in the past, the security was only so-so, not to mention the fact that many Southeast Asians had sneaked into the city recently.

At this time, the cheaper the residence, the more unsafe it was.

After agreeing, the girls quickened their pace.

In the Chen family’s house, Chen Yiming sat cross-legged on the balcony. He was using an invisible force to temper his body as he carried out his daily cultivation.

Comparing the master realm and the warrior realm, there was a huge gap between the power of nature and the internal force. Even though he had two additional talents, his cultivation speed had still slowed down.

As he felt that he was getting stronger all this while, he did not know when his body would eventually reach a bottleneck.

The head of the security department of the Chen corporation suddenly called to tell him that Chen Yingying had accidentally killed someone. His voice was trembling.

In East Lake City, there had always been experts from the security department following Chen Yingying around to eliminate suspicious people and protect her.

Now that such a thing had happened, when the security minister received the news, his soul was about to leave his body. He was scolding his subordinates right in their faces. This was a serious dereliction of duty. How did they treat their work?

Chen Yiming’s eyelids twitched, but he didn’t think it was anything serious.

Chen Yingying had hunted mutant beasts and killed creatures from the otherworld. The only thing missing was that she had not killed people. Previously, she had not been completely mentally prepared.

However, killing people was different from killing mutant beasts. One could not just kill innocent people, right?

He told Father Chen and Mother Chen, who were watching television, that he was heading out, but did not tell them the details. He then set off to the place where his sister had accidentally killed someone.

In a district of old houses in the east of East Lake City, a short and thin Southeast Asian man was lying in a pool of blood. Beside him, four other Southeast Asian men were watching the surrounding crowd warily.

The murder had alarmed all the residents in the area, and onlookers had surrounded the area.

Chen Yingying and a few girls were not far from the person who had died. There were members of the Chen corporation’s security department separating them from the crowd.

“We killed someone. Yingying, what do we do?” a girl whispered.

“It’s fine! These drunkards have ill intentions. This is self-defense.” Chen Yingying pretended to be calm, but her hands were clenched tightly, and her palms were drenched in sweat.

Killing people and killing mutant beasts were two completely different things.

This was the first time she had killed a person. Although it was due to a mistake since she did not have a good grasp of her own strength, she felt that she had broken through another barrier in her heart.

Martial arts was not just a show of fancy moves, but a type of killing technique.

When Chen Yiming arrived at the scene, the police had yet to arrive. He controlled an invisible force and allowed it to spread out. The crowd felt a force pushing against them and were forced to make way for him.

“Brother, you’re here.” Chen Yingying instantly relaxed when she saw who it was.

Chen Yiming walked over and glanced at the Southeast Asian man lying in a pool of blood, then at the security team with their heads lowered. He didn’t say anything.

What had happened had already happened. Without him saying anything, the Chen corporation would also start thinking about how to deal with it as it should be.

He could just wait for the police to deal with the rest.

The four Southeast Asian men saw that the crowd had automatically parted ways for a young man to walk over. Their hearts skipped a beat as they thought to themselves that they had offended someone they could not afford to offend.

At this moment, the four of them hated the man who had fallen into a pool of blood. It was all his idea. It did not matter if he died, but he had dragged them all down with him.

“Yingying, is this your brother?” a female classmate asked softly as she poked Chen Yingying’s waist.

Everyone had heard that Chen Yingying had a very powerful brother who had helped her to skip a grade to become a student of the martial arts academy.

Having a brother like that made her classmates envious.

Not long after, the sound of police sirens rang out.

Three police cars arrived at the scene of the crime. More than 10 police officers got out of the cars, along with the mayor of East Lake City, Hong Yi.

“She…”

The four Southeast Asian men were about to explain themselves to the police, hoping that they would be treated in a fair and just manner, but they were immediately dumbfounded.

The four of them had directly been handcuffed by the police, and the girl who had killed someone did not have anything done to her.

They did not follow the proper procedures!

The Daxia Kingdom was a powerful nation, but they were actually bullying the citizens of a small country!

The four of them roared in their hearts, but they did not dare to make any moves.

These police officers all had martial arts training, and they were illegal immigrants. They knew in their hearts that they could not resist no matter what. Otherwise, they would be accused of even more crimes.

That night, East Lake City started a citywide census to thoroughly investigate all the foreigners.

At some entertainment venues, many people were captured by the police. A Southeast Asian man named Hughes had chosen an overnight package, and he had his pants off, ready to go into battle.

The police suddenly broke in and pinned him to the ground, and cuffed his hands.

The lady at the side was caught in the act and exclaimed in fear.
