Chapter 2: Are You Afraid of Electricity?
After reading it, Ning Chuan was somewhat speechless. "Sister Ruyan, are you so eager to find me a girlfriend?"
"Nonsense! Grandfather is gone now, and it's just the two of us in the family. I'm your sister, who else should worry about you if not me? I also want to hold my nephew soon!"
Ning Ruyan extended her slender fingers and pointed at Ning Chuan's chest, adding, "Of course, a niece would be fine too. Both boys and girls can carry on the family name."
Ning Chuan smiled bitterly. It had been eight years since he last saw Ning Ruyan, and she had become more like a mother.
Ning Chuan grew up with Ning Ruyan and their grandfather. Grandfather never mentioned his parents, and later Ning Chuan went to his master on the mountain, where he learned various skills—medicine, martial arts, and even magic.
Following his master's instructions, he traveled abroad, took on missions, and now, he had returned after eight years.
Last month, his Grandfather suddenly left him a message, saying that he was going on a journey to the immortal world or something like that.
Only Ning Ruyan was left at home, so he was asked to come back and take care of her.
At that time, Ning Chuan was on a mission overseas. After completing the mission, he rushed back to Jiang City, which was the present moment.
"Sister Ruyan, I think you should hurry up and get married yourself, have a child. That way, it might be faster."
Ning Chuan jokingly said.
Ning Ruyan's face instantly turned red, quickly realizing that Ning Chuan was teasing her.
She reached out and pinched Ning Chuan's ear.
"Chuan, Chuan, how dare you mock your sister now? Are you feeling mischievous? Haven't been spanked in a few years?"
"Uh..." Ning Chuan felt embarrassed.
There was a time when he was wearing pants with an open crotch, and he was spanked by Ning Ruyan because he was being too mischievous.
Ning Ruyan had never let go of that incident.
"Alright, since you just took a shower, I bought you some new clothes. Put them on and let me see."
Ning Ruyan pulled Ning Chuan into the room and brought out a neatly stacked pile of new clothes.
Ning Chuan took a look and realized that these clothes were complete from top to bottom, inside and out.
On top of the stack was a pair of men's underwear...
"Hurry up and change! Huh? Are you trying to avoid me? I'm your sister, there's nothing I haven't seen about you..."
Ning Ruyan said, but she still walked out and closed the door.
"Alright, I won't look, okay? I'll go cook, you rest for a while."
"This Sister Ruyan..."
Ning Chuan smiled wryly, shaking his head. He put on the whole set of new clothes that Ning Ruyan bought for him, and just as he was about to go to the kitchen to help, his phone rang.
Glancing at the number, Ning Chuan answered the call.
"Old man, haven't I already completed ninety-nine missions? Can I retire now? I want to spend time with my family."
"What? There's one more mission? To make it a hundred? Are you obsessive-compulsive? I won't do it!"
"If you don't, I'll leak my information to the Underground Queen Catherine of the Western Continent, Saint Theresa, the Holy Maiden of the Pope, Princess Qingyazi of Sakura Country, and the heiress of the top financial group in Stick Nation, Lee Hae-eun, and..."
"Damn it! Are you kidding me? If these women find out about me and come looking for me, Jiang City will be in chaos. Old man, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to? It's one of the hardest to resist the charms of beautiful women!"
"Alright, alright, I'll take it! But this really is the last mission, right? So, I have to kill a terrorist leader this time? Or rescue a head of state?"
"What? Protecting a woman?"
...
After hanging up the phone, Ning Chuan was speechless.
They wanted him, the mighty "Death God Asura" from the Great Snow Mountain, to be a bodyguard for a woman?
Wasn't this woman blessed for eight lifetimes?
Fortunately, the mission had a deadline of only one month. After completing the mission, he would travel the world with Sister Ruyan.
Ning Chuan, Ning Ruyan, and Mu Wanqing had dinner together.
During dinner, Ning Ruyan persistently tried to matchmake Ning Chuan and Mu Wanqing.
However, Mu Wanqing's expression was fierce, as if she wanted to bite Ning Chuan off when she bit into a cucumber, as if she hated him.
Ning Chuan didn't really care for Mu Wanqing, the violent policewoman.
Women should be gentle and tender like Sister Ruyan.
After finishing their meal, Ning Ruyan left for something she had to attend to, and Mu Wanqing grabbed her pistol and handcuffs to go for overtime duty.
Left alone, Ning Chuan walked the streets of Jiang City, hands in his pockets.
It had been eight years since he last came back, and he wondered if the streets of Jiang City had changed.
Unconsciously, Ning Chuan arrived at a corner and sighed. Suddenly, he heard a woman's cry not far ahead.
"What are you doing? Who are you... help!"
Ning Chuan furrowed his brows and looked in the direction of the commotion. In the depths of the alley, several hooligans were blocking a beautiful woman. They were using lewd language, cornering her against the wall, and reaching their rough hands towards her chest.
Ning Chuan didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, but he had to intervene in a situation like this.
"Hey, if you want to release some steam, go find a prostitute. It's not good to use force like this."
The hooligans turned around and saw Ning Chuan alone. Immediately, they wore fierce expressions and said, "I don't like prostitutes, I like forcing! What's it to you? Get lost! If you meddle any further, I'll kill you!"
Ning Chuan furrowed his brows, he shook his head, and approached them.
The hooligans quickly let go of the woman and raised their fists to attack Ning Chuan.
Bang!
Ning Chuan raised his hand and slapped the hooligan in front, sending him flying into the wall.
Bang bang bang...
With three punches and two kicks, Ning Chuan knocked down all the hooligans, who were now howling in pain.
"Now can you leave?"
Ning Chuan smiled and said.
"Fine, fine, we're leaving."
The hooligans quickly got up and ran away, disappearing in no time.
"Are you okay?"
Ning Chuan looked at the woman huddled in the corner. Her clothes were torn, so he kindly took off his coat and tried to put it on her.
Unexpectedly, the woman screamed loudly again, "Don't come near me, you pervert! Help! Someone help!"
Ning Chuan said, "Those hooligans have already left."
The woman, named Qin Shiyun, angrily said, "Do you think I'm an idiot? You clearly are in cahoots with those bastards! Otherwise, how could you conveniently appear here? And how did you effortlessly drive them away? And you're even wearing brand new clothes? You managed to defeat four or five hooligans without getting a speck of dust on you?"
Qin Shiyun kept questioning, clearly mistaking Ning Chuan as an accomplice of the hooligans.
"Fine, if you don't believe me, then forget it. I'm leaving."
Ning Chuan felt that the saying "Dumb as a bear" was truly accurate. It applied not only to Mu Wanqing but also to this unfamiliar woman.
Shrugging his shoulders, Ning Chuan turned around to leave.
However, in the instant Ning Chuan turned around, Qin Shiyun, who had been cowering in the corner, suddenly stood up and took out a self-defense electric baton from her bag.
She then forcefully stabbed it towards Ning Chuan!
Zzzt zzzt zzzt...
Electric currents instantly crackled against Ning Chuan's body.
"You..."
While being electrocuted, Ning Chuan turned his head and angrily looked at Qin Shiyun.
The next moment, a strange phenomenon occurred.
A faint glimmer flashed deep in Ning Chuan's eyes, and suddenly, the scene in front of him turned transparent.
Less than half a meter in front of Ning Chuan, Qin Shiyun's clothes quickly became illusory... disappearing... turning transparent...
"You... Aren't you afraid of electric shock?"
Seeing that Ning Chuan, after being hit by her electric baton, didn't fall, Qin Shiyun was both shocked and scared.
In the next second, Ning Chuan furrowed his brows, he raised his hand, and grabbed Qin Shiyun's baton.
