Female Novel
Chapter 678 A Strange Boy
Chen Hao did not expect that the reason Li Ba was so enraged was because he wanted to take
revenge for him.
This moved Chen Hao slightly.
“I need to save someone with these herbs first, so let’s go back now,” Chen Hao said with a smile.
“Alright, Young Master Chen!” Li Ba scratched his head.novelbin
After both of them left the cave, they headed straight to the shanty town.
Xinxin’s arm must be fixed as soon as possible. Otherwise, there would be an after-effect.
Besides, he needed to find a vessel for the lady in white next. In this vast sea of people, he had no idea
where to find a suitable one.
He was not sure if it was just a coincidence, but when both of them walked out of the mountains, Chen
Hao’s spiritual sense suddenly tingled.
“Huh?”
Chen Hao understood that every time he had this feeling, it meant that there was someone with a
special scent near him.
The strange thing was, if that person was an expert, such as General Black who had appeared
previously, this feeling would be extremely intense.
However, the feeling now was very subtle.
This meant that this person was not an expert.
That was weird!
Li Ba obviously had this intuition as well because he was scanning their surroundings.
Following the instructions of Li Ba, Chen Hao closed his eyes and applied the spell. When he opened
his eyes again, a strange purple light flashed across his eyes.
That purple light formed into two beams of ray, scanning all directions.
“The Heaven Eyes?!”
Standing at a side, Li Ba was stupefied.
But seeing that Chen Hao was fully focused, he did not say anything.
Despite that, he felt confused and could not understand why Young Master Chen refused to admit that
he was God when he obviously was, because he had even mastered the Heaven Eyes! This further
showed that he must have some special intentions.
If that’s the case, I should not be inquisitive. Otherwise, I might enrage God, and that would be terrible,
Li Ba warned himself.
So, he stood even more reverently at a side.
“Li Ba, one of the many things that you told me about the Celestial Qi just now was that when there’s a
special scent near me, I will sense it. Now, I feel like I have sensed the vessel that you told me to find,
and it’s somewhere near us!” Chen Hao gasped in surprise after a short moment.
According to Li Ba, the scent of an expert would bring an intense feeling to him, and his Celestial Qi
would automatically emit a kind of gloomy and cold feeling.
If it was a gentle scent, the feeling would be more graceful and soft.
And the vessel that the lady in white needed was a woman with a graceful and soft energy in her body.
The scent that Chen Hao was feeling through the Heaven Eyes now was this kind of scent.
“It’s possible. Actually, although vessels are not common, they’re not rare either. Normally, any girl with
an innate spirit can be used as a vessel!” Li Ba explained.
“It’s just 10 miles away from here. Let’s go there!”
As soon as he finished his words, he dashed straight toward that place.
It was near the entrance of the mountains, and there was a small village outside of it.
At this moment, a few young men were besieging a girl at the entrance, while a boy who looked like he
was 16 or 17 years old was lying on the floor. He looked like he was injured.
He was trying to get up because he wanted to fight against these few young men, but he was quickly
kicked back to the ground.
“Let my sister go!”
The boy picked up a large rock from the ground and hurled it toward the heads of the few young men.
Unfortunately, he was kicked away by one of them to a distance of over 10 meters.
“Brother!” shouted the girl, who looked around 23 or 24 years old, distressed.
“What do you think? If you don’t want us to hit your brother, gratify us in the car. This is the first time I
have met such a beautiful girl!” said a young man while pinching the girl’s chin.
“Get away from me!” The girl struggled desperately.
“We are from the Ximen Family! Young beauty, do you think you and your brother can survive after
offending us?” the young man threatened again.
“A-Are you ignoring the law?!” The girl’s wrist was firmly grabbed by them.
“Law? The Ximen Family is the law!” one of the men said with a grim smile.
Then, he pounced on her, trying to rape her.
But right at this moment, his collar was grabbed by someone from behind.
With a little force, he was lifted off the ground.
“Who are you?”
The four other men finally came to their senses.
This person’s movement had been too fast, and they did not even know how he had gotten here.
They took out their daggers at once.
“Young Master says that all of you shall go to hell!”
This person was none other than Li Ba.
When he and Chen Hao tracked the scent to this place, they witnessed this scene just in time.
Therefore, Li Ba appeared and stopped them.
“Who the hell is Young Master Chen? We are from the Ximen Family! Are you trying to die? Let him
go!” the few men shouted in chorus.
“Young Master Chen says, people from the Ximen Family deserve to die even more!”
After that, Li Ba exerted some force, and the person in his hand was hurled up to the sky, and he flew
as high as above 20 meters from the ground. He looked like he had just hurled a small chick.
When that person smashed onto the ground, he only managed to struggle for a second. Then, there
was no movement from him anymore.
“What?”
Upon witnessing that, the few underlings were all dumbfounded.
At once, they threw their daggers onto the ground and kneeled down immediately.
“Boss, please spare our lives!”
But Li Ba did not bother about their plea because he only remembered that Young Master Chen said
that they should die.
Therefore, Li Ba twisted their necks in just a few swift motions using just a few seconds.
Only then were this pair of siblings finally safe, and they huddled together.
But the girl was utterly frightened by the scene earlier, so she stared in fear at Chen Hao and the
middle-aged man who had just killed as they walked toward them.
“Don’t be afraid. We won’t hurt you!” assured Chen Hao with a smile after approaching them.
“Thank you. Thank you for saving us!”
The girl nodded slightly.
Looking at her, Chen Hao used the Heaven Eyes to observe her again.
He was not mistaken as the scent was indeed emitting from this girl. However, the scent on her was
unstable, disappearing and reappearing inconsistently.
She seemed like a suitable vessel, but then again, she didn’t seem like one.
It looked like she had came into contact with someone who was a vessel, and the contact had been
very recent.
“It’s not a big deal. I see that your brother has a bamboo basket. Are you planning to collect herbs in
the mountains?” Chen Hao asked.
Holding her brother, whose face was swollen and bruised due to the hits, she nodded.
Obviously, she was still scared of Chen Hao and Li Ba.
“Are you staying in this village?” Chen Hao asked another question.
Again, the girl nodded.
“If there’s nothing urgent, it’s better if you don’t enter the mountain. It’s too dangerous for both of you to
go out there alone! What if you ran into a beast?”
Noticing the fear they had toward him, Chen Hao did not continue to inquire further.
“But we have to collect herbs to make medicine for our grandfather!”
Suddenly, the boy spoke, “Besides, I’m not scared of the beast. I can sense them even before they
approach.”
“What?”
Chen Hao glanced calmly at the boy who was beaten up.
Then, he just smiled bitterly without saying anything. After giving a nod, he left.
“Young Master Chen, the girl with the scent doesn’t seem like a vessel!” Li Ba said to Chen Hao beside
him.
“Yes. Although she isn’t a vessel, she has definitely come into contact with one. I’ll bring the herbs back
to Uncle to treat Xinxin first. Then, we’ll come back to look for them again.”
After Chen Hao finished his sentence, both of them accelerated their pace. Soon, they had vanished
from sight.
“Sister, they went away!” said the boy of 16 or 17 after standing up. He was crouching on the ground,
listening to something just now.
“Hey, how many times have I told you? Don’t show your abilities. You don’t even know who they are.
Anyway, does it still hurt?” the girl asked.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore. Let’s go into the mountain to collect herbs. I want to find the Treasure Herbs
so that Miss Su’s mother can be treated. We owe a great debt of gratitude toward Miss Su! In addition,
we’re also in debt toward the man and the uncle who saved us just now,” the boy said.
