Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Wisdom
As they arrived at the entrance of the cinema, Tang Tang immediately clung to Yang Chen's arm like a bird, leaning against him closely, presenting a picture-perfect image of a happy little woman.
"What are you doing?" Yang Chen asked.
"I'm pretending to be your girlfriend. It looks better if a man and a woman go in together. Otherwise, it would be awkward," Tang Tang said unabashedly.
Yang Chen scratched his head. "You're like my sister anyway. What's the point of a little girl like you pretending to be a woman?"
"How am I little?" Tang Tang waved her little fists indignantly. "Look at my chest..."
With that, Tang Tang boldly reached towards her neckline. Her round-necked cotton T-shirt was a bit tight, and Tang Tang attempted to pull it open.
"What are you doing?" Yang Chen quickly grabbed Tang Tang's hand. "There are so many people on the street. Why would you want to expose yourself like that?"
"I'm showing you my 'career line'..." Tang Tang said proudly. "Although I'm not a C cup yet, give me a couple of years, and I'll at least reach a D cup. Don't compare me with those aunties who have given birth to children. It's unfair! If you want to compare, compare me with high school girls on the street and see who's bigger!"
Yang Chen was at a loss for words. The little sister suddenly transformed into a proud girl, which was somewhat hard to handle. He coughed a few times and said, "Don't look down on women who give birth. We all make significant contributions to human reproduction and inheritance."
"It's not like you men are saints just because you sow the seeds," Tang Tang pouted.
"Enough!" Yang Chen felt the conversation was going in the wrong direction. "Let's just watch the movie..."
Unable to change this girl into a little sister, Yang Chen dragged Tang Tang, who was like a bottle of oil, into the cinema. Looking around at the young girls and some middle-aged women with big bellies, who were also there to watch the movie, he felt quite compatible with Tang Tang.
Tang Tang still had a childish nature. She bought a large bucket of popcorn and got a Coke and orange juice for both Yang Chen and herself before entering the cinema.
The screening process of the movie was quite long, with scenes of the People's Liberation Army bravely fighting enemies and killing ruthlessly. Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com
Yang Chen couldn't help but ask, "Why does this film only show them killing people without any historical context?"
"What do you expect? These patriotic movies are all like this. They just tell us how difficult it was to establish this country and how many people died. If you want to know more, go read history books," Tang Tang explained.
"But isn't this too fake? With so many bullets flying around, how can people still stand and talk so much?" Yang Chen chuckled helplessly.
Tang Tang looked at him as if he were an idiot. "Uncle, have you never seen such films before?"
"I returned from overseas just over half a year ago, so no, I haven't seen them," Yang Chen admitted truthfully.
Tang Tang looked at him as if she had discovered a new continent. "Really? Uncle, are you still living under a rock? I thought you were some nouveau riche from a small mountain village!"
Yang Chen didn't mind. "It's whatever. Although I'm not a nouveau riche, usually those who call others nouveau riches are just jealous. They're probably wondering how to become nouveau riche if they don't have money, right?"
"Hmph, smooth talker, but quite reasonable," Tang Tang replied.
After watching a movie, Tang Tang had already fallen asleep leaning on Yang Chen's shoulder. Yang Chen nudged her reluctantly, and Tang Tang woke up groggily, wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth with a cute smile.
Actually, this girl was quite cute sometimes, Yang Chen thought to himself.
Yang Chen's feet kicked upwards against gravity, kicking the two daggers away.
The two men turned around simultaneously, shooting out four lightning-fast dart-like objects!
Yang Chen remained vigilant, anticipating their moves. He leaped into the air and flattened his body to evade their assault.
"Shurikens..." Yang Chen chuckled mockingly after landing. "Judging by your techniques and strength, you're already at the level of a high-level ninja. Which organization do you belong to?"
The two men had shed their outer garments at some point. Now, they were clad in black clothes, short blades hanging from their waists. Only a pair of sharp eyes were visible, glaring at Yang Chen.
Tang Tang, frightened by the sudden turn of events, ran to Yang Chen's back and hugged him tightly, trembling. "Wh-who are they?"
Without looking back, Yang Chen reassured her, "Don't be afraid. They can't hurt you."
"I'm not afraid at all..."
Tang Tang's voice came from behind, but it sent a chill down Yang Chen's spine.
Then, a sinister yet seductive voice sounded...
"Hades, you should worry about yourself..."
Yang Chen swiftly moved, stepping back three steps as he looked at Tang Tang, his eyes narrowed.
Tang Tang, who had initially been scared and confused, suddenly transformed into a seductive figure, exuding a bewitching charm. Her eyes, filled with swirling colors, emitted an icy coldness akin to a serpent's gaze.
"Oh my... I didn't see this coming..." Yang Chen couldn't help but utter a line from a sketch comedy he had heard before, smiling wryly. "What have you done to me?"
"Tang Tang" giggled, "It's nothing, just a special, proprietary toxin. Once it comes into contact with the skin, it quickly spreads throughout the body, causing the loss of nerve sensitivity within five minutes. It's like... temporarily becoming a cripple."
As "Tang Tang" finished speaking, Yang Chen felt his whole body go limp, his legs unable to support him anymore, and he slumped to the ground.
"Hahaha..." the woman couldn't help but laugh out loud. "It seems like the Grandmaster's suggestion was unnecessary. The Lord of the Underworld isn't as formidable as rumored, and not that difficult to deal with."
Yang Chen lifted his head weakly and chuckled, "Your disguise and poisoning techniques are indeed superb. You might have surpassed the level of a high-level ninja and reached the level of a secret ninja..."
"So what if I did?" The impostor Tang Tang walked over to Yang Chen, squatting down beside him. She placed a finger under Yang Chen's chin, her voice mellifluous. "Lord of the Underworld, did you realize my true identity a bit too late?"
Yang Chen shook his head. "Not too late. Among the ninjas of the Sakura Clan, there's only one who has reached the level of a secret ninja and is skilled in disguises and poisons. That would be the most beautiful ninja of all, Hanayo..."
"It's truly an honor that the Lord of the Underworld recognizes me," Hanayo said, her tone laced with sarcasm.
Hanayo didn't worry about being recognized; she just saw Yang Chen as another man enchanted by a woman's charms. She coldly said, "Lord of the Underworld, it's not the time for idle chatter. Please stop beating around the bush."
Yang Chen looked puzzled. "Then what are you here for?"
The smile vanished from Hanayo's face instantly, her voice turning as cold as ice.
"The divine stone! We want the divine stone!"
