Chapter 376 - Sawatdee Ka

It was Lu Shu’s first time at a beach. Although he had seen bikini beauties in the movies, it was still a far cry from real life experience.

Li Yixiao’s eyes were almost popping out from his eye sockets. He mumbled, “Class A, pass… This Class C is not bad. Eh? There’s a Class D! Oh my goodness, Class E!”

If you think his sentence was upside down, you probably did not get Li Yixiao’s underlying meaning.

At 2pm, the three followed the purely Chinese tour group back to Pattaya. Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu sat at the rear of the yacht. As she cast her look outside from behind the railings, Lu Xiaoyu’s little face looked just adorable. It was her first time to see the sea.

But Lu Shu was unable to concentrate. Despite her low-profile appearance, the Class C’s magic waves could never escape Lu Shu’s senses.

Lu Shu traced back the energy and saw a girl with a gauze scarf flying over her shoulders. Her bikini was fully covered by her scarf and only had her slender thighs revealed.

Probably sensing his stare, she shot a glance at Lu Shu but quickly lowered her head again, as though she suffered from seasickness.

Can Practitioners and Metahumans get seasickness? Lu Shu was unsure too.

He had recalled his flying daggers from the snow mountain the moment they reached the beach. On usual days, the daggers could be released to grind mountain rocks but now, they had to be on standby anytime.

The original mountain was already nearly half gone, and the daggers only needed a little more time to totally flatten it. But now, it was no time to worry about that. The top priority was a safe return.

The girl seated at the boat’s bow probably had yet to realize that Lu Shu had his guard up against her.

Lu Xiaoyu asked, “Lu Shu, what are you looking at?”

Lu Shu whispered, “Seeing them dressed in worn out clothes, I guess they really need some help…”

“Lu Xiaoyu distress level, +399!”

It was only a thirty minutes’ sail from the island to Pattaya. During the entire journey, the girl remained low-key and kept her head low. Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu exchanged a look of confirmation after they got ashore. Then, Li Yixiao brought them to a residential place on a local three wheeler.

As stowaways, the three of them had nowhere to stay but for a safety shelter prepared by the Heavenly Network. Li Yixiao was in high spirits as the three wheeler zigzagged along the Pattaya streets, “Did you see the pedestrian street just now? At night… hehehe…”

It was the most popular destination of Pattaya’s nightlife. There, you would be greeted warmly by many pretty girls in skimpy clothing with their apparent hospitality.

Lu Xiaoyu had already secretly blacklisted Li Yixiao. It was a mistake to let Lu Shu come to Thailand. No, Li Yixiao’s company was the mistake.

When they went past a palace-looking building, Li Yixiao raised his eyebrows at Lu Shu, “Wanna know what place this is?!”

“Performance center?” Lu Shu replied ambiguously.

“Performances are held at the concert hall, not here. At night… hehehe…” Li Yixiao’s laugh was mysterious.

Lu Xiaoyu chided him at once, “Don’t you need to train? Are you a Practitioner? Why are you so messed up?”

Li Yixiao replied lightheartedly, “I still have a long way to go till CCB. Why the hurry?”

Lu Shu froze for a second, “What’s CCB?”

“Completion of Class B, of course! Short form, CCB. You didn’t know?” Li Yixiao pointed the finger of scorn at him.

Excuse me? Lu Shu’s face darkened, how did you come up with such a crude name for a title this prestigious?! As a Heavenly King, could you please have some brains?!

However, Lu Xiaoyu recognized the palace, which she had drawn out for Lu Shu before. It was an entertainment club, and it harbored the organization they were looking for, who were the operators of the place.

Lu Shu identified it too at once. Despite Lu Xiaoyu’s horrible drawing skills, her sketch of the white spiky top of the building was absolutely accurate. Lu Shu turned to her, “Lu Xiaoyu, you are a genius painter.”

Lu Xiaoyu laughed, “Of course!”

The organization was secretly engaged in human trafficking under the cover of an entertainment club. However, their stealthy approach was not due to their incompetence, but their prudence in hiding away from experts upholding justice. Across the world, there were many Metahumans who were not solely after fame and fortune.

The safety shelter was a far cry from Lu Shu’s expectations. Instead of a covert, shabby room, it was rather spacious and was even equipped with a swimming pool.

It was not that the Heavenly Network was very rich, though. In fact, it was rather common in Thailand. Coupled with the cheap housing there, one could get a small villa with merely 10 billion yuan even in its capital, Bangkok.

As soon as the sky had darkened, Li Yixiao could not wait to hurry the kids to bed and sneaked out by himself…

After he was gone, Lu Xiaoyu asked, “When do we start?”

“Tonight!” Lu Shu had made up his mind, “We cannot be sure whether anyone knows or will know that we are here. But we cannot take any chances. More and more Practitioners and Metahumans are gathering, awaiting the opening of the remain. They will only become increasingly cautious, not only to us but to everybody else. This city is becoming more dangerous.”

Lu Xiaoyu nodded, “Sure. We will do as you say.”

“We are still unclear about the internal structure of the club. Moreover, the memory pieces obtained didn’t show exactly how many people they have. In my opinion, we’d better do a double check. Even if we are exposed, the victory should be ours in a head-on attack,” Lu Shu analyzed.

“Then we might as well chase them out of the house,” Lu Xiaoyu commented lightly.

Lu Shu pondered, “I’m not sure whether anyone will seize the opportunity to take him down when he’s seriously injured by us.”

The city was about to become a party place of the cultivation realm, attracting everyone to the remain. Before its opening, one fewer expert meant less danger, and fewer competitors for the treasures in the remain.

Lu Shu was thinking, if the smell of the man’s blood permeated throughout the city, would those hidden crocodiles and sharks swarm forward to destroy this injured Class B expert?

Currently, Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu had a better way of staying unnoticed. After Anthony was conjured up from Lu Xiaoyu’s celestial map, he wrapped his arms around the two’s shoulders and sunk deep underground without uttering a word.

It was Lu Shu’s first time to experience transport via soil. Actually it was not that amazing after all, as they still had to avoid all kinds of tubes and cavities with all carefulness. Lu Xiaoyu suddenly stopped midway.

“What happened?” Lu Shu was curious.

“An earth-type Class C just went past,” Lu Xiaoyu replied.

Lu Shu was struck speechless. Why? There was a transport system underground?! Never had he expected that other earth-type Metahumans were equally busy as Lu Xiaoyu and himself. Indeed, at that time, the safest place for people with earth powers was beneath the ground, where they were completely out of sight.

Was earth type one of the most pervasive powers among all? Lu Shu was not so sure…

They took their time to arrive at the periphery of the entertainment site. Lu Shu mused, “How to drive them out?”

Lu Xiaoyu could not be any calmer, “Tear it down.”

The sentence seemed like a straightforward yet unquestionable truth in her mouth. She was willing to restrain or unleash her temper, just for Lu Shu.

As a matter of fact, Lu Xiaoyu never followed orders as she was expected to.

…

Li Yixiao hummed the entire way, as he got out of the taxi and stood in front of the club, he was completely at ease. Back in China, he needed to watch his behaviors as so many eyes were on him, as a Heavenly King. But here, who cares?

Li Yixiao had been missing his precious freedom from when he was younger ever since he joined the Heavenly Network!

He moved his stalwart build into the palace and saw four pretty ladies in mini skirts at the entrance, all four held their palms together, “Sawatdee ka!”

In Thailand, Sawatdee ka was a commonly used greeting. When you were in trouble, if you kept your palms together with a “Sawatdee ka”, you could usually get the help you needed.

Li Yixiao was almost beaming with excitement. He held his palms together, his eyes fixed on the girls’ lower legs, “Sawatdee…”

“Ka!”

He spun his head up in shock! Who continued his sentence?!

At that instant, cracks crawled up the walls of the entire building. Within merely two seconds, the sumptuous structure suddenly fell into sand and soil. It must be an earth-type expert of at least Class B to accomplish such a feat!

Li Yixiao coughed out a mouthful of dust while he stood still in his original position…

Could he claim that he Ka downed an entertainment club with a simple Sawatdee “Ka”?!

Screw you! Who the hell did that? I, Li Yixiao, am not a fool!

The building collapsed like a sand castle built by kids at the beach. Although the lightweight sandy soil did not result in much harm, everything that Li Yixiao had imagined crumbled into nonexistence as well.

Li Yixiao was almost buried alive in the dust. He wiped his face and glanced around, only to see steel bars erecting from the level ground… Everyone in the compound was equally dusty and dirty like himself…

The mini skirt girls were gone too. Covered in dirt, one could not even differentiate a male from a female.

Li Yixiao gazed sorrowfully at his dreamland and sighed, “What the…”

…
