Chapter 10: Friend (7)
Friend (7)
Qing blinked her eyes.
Ridicule you? Me?
How dare you! How dare you!
Seeing her trembling eyes, she seemed genuinely furious.
A-Qing tilted her head in confusion.
What the hell? Why is she so angry?
PerhapsCould it be that the outhouse was that filthy?
After swallowing my money, how dare you shamelessly flirt with him again, as if to rub it in my face! With such a vulgar display! How dare you!
Flirt? Me?
How dare someone lowly like you approach Young Master Jade Qilin! How dare you!
Ah. Oh my.
A-Qing finally realized her misunderstanding.
It wasnt a sign of sincerity and favor for the fast-pass to the restroom, but an envelope from a chaebols1Korean wealthy families. In Kdramas, its often shown that these chaebol mother-in-laws throw money at their sons lovers, telling them to fuck off because theyre not worthy of their son. Basically, its a cliche lol mother-in-law.
Moreover, it was such a modest amount when considering what her intentions were!
So, naturally, A-Qing felt wronged.
How could a proud Korean man ever imagine receiving an envelope of money after parting ways with his significant other!
If someone was able to, it was an ability to conceive possibilities beyond the realm of imagination. A different fucking stratosphere, so to speak.
If A-Qing had such an ability, she wouldnt have been a production worker but a genius scientist cooking up fucking superconductors.
First, lets confirm one thing. Are you personally acquainted with Jade Qilin?
Oh, look at this? Now you reveal your true colors?
Ah. One-sided love? So youre not acquaintances?
Then, there was no need to exchange any more words with her.
A-Qing slowly started turning on the engine of her mouth.
Well, fine. Lets say you were ridiculed. Hypothetically. What are you going to do about it, huh? What can you, Lady? What? Shake and scream?
The womans fierce face turned even fiercer.
Nogal, Makgwi. Drag that bitch right to my feet.
The thugs standing beside her, left and right, stepped forward.
A-Qing quickly intervened.
Wait!
Now you beg for forgiveness? You should have listened when I was speaking nicely.
Yeah, okay whatever. Setting that aside. Whats your plan? After these ugly misters make me kneel, then what?
Ill sever your limbs and toss you into the brothel. Youll be sold for a single coin. If you serve a hundred men a day, wellI wonder how long you can last?

A-Qing read the lines floating before her eyes
And then smiled brightly.
The lonely star of Heavenly Slaughter shone with the most irreverent color in the world.
Yeah, thats right. I did think it had been way too peaceful until now.
As far as I know, San might have a prickly side, but hes not a bad kid. So wouldnt a bitch like you never have had a chance in the first place?
.What did you say?
Well, I mean His family is well off. Even if hes not as good as me, hes pretty decent at martial arts. His face, hiyaaaaa, well, theres no need to talk about his face. Its pretty self-explanatory. I guess his character is a bit off, so hes not really capable of being magnanimous. Well anyway, hes a pretty good catch. So why would a guy like him mingle with a bitch like you whose sandwiched between two thugs?
You, what did you just s
Even if the world turns upside down and Heaven and Earth switch their axes, there would still be no chance. Yet, youre seriously following him? Moreover, youre acting like a mother-in-law, telling him to break up or not meet with this girl and shit like that? Hey. Thats stalking2this was in English. Its a filthy crime, you hear me? Ah, you dont know English, do you? D o y o u k n o w E n g l i sh3A-Qing said this in English ?
The womans face burned red.
It was so bad, she could literally be called an entirely different species. Perhaps the Red Human race or something.
If I were San, even if everyone else in the entire world died and only the two of us were left, I still wouldnt peg you. Id rather do it with a tree hole.
W-What! You piece of shit, fuck, f-fucking bitch. WHAT ARE YOU DOING, STILL STANDING THERE!
The woman was at a loss for words in her extreme anger.
Nogal (right) and Makwgi (left) stomped off the ground at her sharp cry.
Makgwi!
Nogal cried out in anguish.
Not all those in the Unorthodox Faction were scheming backstabbers.
In fact, they were often bound as tightly as they were cruel to others.
A-Qing muttered, looking at the scene.
Ugh, shit. I couldnt actually feel anything in my handSo unsatisfying
Shouldve just learned something else.
It was a harsh critique of the Buddhas Palm.
It made sense; A-Qing used a sword.
The sensation of slicing through muscle and bone, the feeling of her palm holding the sword, was near ecstasy to her.
The hardships in this strange land with a different culture and common sense.
The number that always flickered above peoples heads.
The status window that rattled her mind every time she looked at it.
Compared to the exhilaration of her blood turning even hotter in a body already heated by battle, all of such things seemed utterly trivial.
Techniques involving fists and palms lacked that certain taste.
Striking and breaking things wasnt entirely devoid of satisfaction, but of course, it couldnt compare to the sword.
Above all, not seeing blood was her biggest point of discontent.
In that sense, I cant use the Buddhas palm.
Sure, even a glimpse of its power as a mere One Star was formidable.
It was undoubtedly a powerful martial art, but
It lacks that delicious sensation in my hand.
Do you even know how important it is to feel the impact when hitting? Its the most important thing ever!
Suddenly, a thirst surged within her.
Blood. I need to see blood. I had to see it.
Hey, skip the melodrama. Im not interested. Lets keep going.
Nogal suddenly snapped back to reality.
The grudge he held was one that wouldnt be satisfied, even if he tore her to pieces.
However, his opponent was a peerless Master who could effortlessly execute Air Palm.
Of course, A-Qing wasnt that much of a Master yet.
It was a misconception due to the game systems corrections, which was unknown to him.
Nevertheless, Nogals mission was to protect the Lady.
I apologize for not recognizing a Master. Please show us mercy.
Mere fodder.dares to talk back?
Please, please, I beg of you.
Nogal knelt down.
And A-Qing snorted.
Why? Did you never expect this day to come? Did you think you could continue living off of sucking others blood, sweat, and tears? Did you think youd live a long life surrounded by a bustling family and die in their embrace with a smile?
That-
According to what Mencius8Chinese Confucian philosopher who has often been described as the second Sage, that is, second to Confucius himself. He is part of Confucius fourth generation of disciples. Mencius inherited Confucius ideology and developed it further. said, ah, was there a Mencius? There must be, right? Since its ancient China. Anyway, he said human nature is good. Thats why people misunderstand, you see. They think anyone, even the wicked, harbors an inner righteousness and can be reformed.
It was a gross misunderstanding.
Mencius doctrine of inherent goodness didnt mean that at all.
It was a proposition that also held true in reverse.
Human nature is good.
Thus, anything inherently evil is not human.
Even if they were your superiors, civil servants, or the sovereign of a country, if they are not good to you, they are nothing more than beasts.
You cannot be ruled by beasts, so raise your bamboo spears.
That was what Mencius meant.
He was a great thinker who advocated the earliest form of democracy. (Confucius idea of governance was too lukewarm as it emphasized fidelity in governance and service)
Thanks to him, A-Qing was able to indulge in her hobby without a single hint of hesitation.
A-Qing took joy in slaying the piece of shit scum.
And as the trash disappeared, the world became a better place. Thus, everyone would benefit.
It was the realization of a world where no one needed to get hurt.

The chi is a traditional Chinese unit of length. Although it is often translated as the Chinese foot, its length was originally derived from the distance measured by a human hand, from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the forefinger, and is similar to the ancient span.
