Chapter 17: I Have Ancestors' Blessings

Unknown entities are most apt to instill fear in people.

The guys with Qian Bing, after he waved his hand, originally planned to immediately follow up with a beating, punching and kicking Chen Hai viciously.

But now, this sudden turn of events had left them totally bewildered and stunned.

The Divine Soul of the leech that Chen Hai had manifested was invisible to them.

In their eyes, all they saw was Qian Bing getting slapped across the face by Chen Hai, then behaving like he had lost his mind.

Babbling incoherently, crying and screaming, then collapsing headfirst, unconscious.

This scene, as they witnessed it, left them confused, and unwittingly, a hair-raising sensation emerged within them.

This group had always been led by Qian Bing.

At this moment, seeing Qian Bing on the ground foaming at the mouth, unconscious, and still trembling, they looked at each other, utterly at a loss.

"Zhang Yong, you still have a brick in your hand, what are you planning to do with it, crack my head open?"

Having his soul return to his body, Chen Hai scanned the few people in front of him, his gaze landing on Zhang Yong.

With a cold laugh, he mockingly pointed lightly at the fellow.

A chilly wind blew as his leech soul once again departed from his body.

Previously, the leech that Chen Hai had manifested had targeted only Qian Bing.

But now, his target had shifted to Zhang Yong.

In terms of build, being an athlete, Zhang Yong was actually a bit stronger than Qian Bing.

But his courage, compared to Qian Bing's, was far less.

The leech that he had transformed into had just lunged toward Zhang Yong, and although there was still a good meter or so between them, Chen Hai already felt a wave of stench hitting his face.

Pausing, he looked up to see that beneath Zhang Yong's crotch, water was still dripping.

And the fellow, eyes rolling back, had just like that stiffly fallen down.

"With such little ability, who gave him the courage to mess with me?" With a scornful laugh, Chen Hai reentered his own body.

"All of you, did you enjoy blocking my way?"

Chen Hai's gaze swept across the remaining few.

His tone was incredibly calm, at this moment, he was confident to the extreme.

He even felt as if a "king's aura" was slowly rising from within him.

"Brother Hai, we were just here to watch the excitement, we wouldn't dare think of crossing you!"

Among the remaining few, someone quickly responded.

Although they were not sure what exactly had happened to Zhang Yong and Qian Bing,

They were certain that the state of Zhang Yong and Qian Bing was definitely related to Chen Hai.

At this moment, their gaze towards Chen Hai carried evident fear.

If Chen Hai had beaten Zhang Yong into unconsciousness with punches and kicks, they surely wouldn't have reacted this way.

After all, they had only seen Chen Hai point a finger, then Zhang Yong urinated himself out of fear, and just like that, he had collapsed stiffly.

Such a scene was truly beyond comprehension.

With such a precedent set before them, where would they find the courage to continue being arrogant in front of Chen Hai?

"Brother Hai, actually, it was Zhang Yong and Qian Bing who wanted to cause you trouble; it really had nothing to do with us!"

One of them stepped forward, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, drew one, and respectfully offered it to Chen Hai.

"Is that so? So you all followed here just to watch the drama?"

Chen Hai chuckled.

He didn't just take the cigarette offered; he even grabbed the whole pack from the person's hand and shoved it into his pocket.

The person smiled sheepishly, but knew to keep his place; he hurriedly fished out a lighter to light the cigarette for Chen Hai.

"Li Ming, didn't you say you were going to beat up Chen Hai today? How come it's all changed now?"

At that moment, an inappropriately crisp voice suddenly rang out.

Following that, a slim figure appeared before everyone.

It was Yang Yue.

When Qian Bing and the others had cornered Chen Hai, she had retreated to a distance but had not left.

Perhaps she thought that after a while, Chen Hai would have been beaten to the ground.

Now, she probably came over to gloat and enjoy the drama.

"Yang Yue, don't talk nonsense, and call him Brother Hai now!"

Li Ming, who had lit the cigarette for Chen Hai, turned pale when he heard Yang Yue speak.

He walked up to Yang Yue and slapped her across the face.

"Li Ming, wasn't it you who said you wanted to beat up Chen Hai to let off some steam? How can you blame me for that now!"

Yang Yue didn't understand what was happening. Li Ming's slap came out of nowhere to her.

She felt incredibly wronged, and tears streamed down her face.

"You're crying? Aren't you going to call him Brother Hai, or do you want another beating?"

Li Ming was furious, raising his hand and slapping her across the face again.

Chen Hai, however, smiled silently. He was the vengeful type, and although Yang Yue was a classmate, she had been manipulated into luring him out of school.

He was not interested in hitting women, but seeing Yang Yue getting slapped felt satisfying to him.

"Yang Yue, good choice in men you've got there. Is this Li Ming your boyfriend?" said Chen Hai, heavy with sarcasm.

"Brother Hai, Yang Yue and I simply have a physical relationship, not a romantic one," Li Ming quickly tried to clear his name.

"A purely physical relationship? What kind of relationship is that? All physical and no emotions?"

Chen Hai was amused and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Yang Yue, her face pale and drained of color, was fuming.

But she had noticed something was off in the way the others were treating Chen Hai.

Before understanding what was going on, she just glared at Chen Hai without speaking out.

"What's the matter, Yang Yue? Can't take a joke?"

"As your classmate, let me advise you, young lady, to respect and love yourself. Otherwise, you'll regret it later!"

Spitting fiercely on the ground, Chen Hai sneered.

"Ghosts! There are ghosts!" Just then, a terrified scream erupted.

Turning his head, it was Qian Bing, who had come to his senses.

"Ghosts? Where are the ghosts?" Chen Hai chuckled and stepped forward.

"Your dad's still the mayor, isn't he? Don't you know that this world shouldn't have ghosts and can't have ghosts?"

"Let me tell you, my ancestors are protecting me. Anyone who dares cross me will have to watch out for my family's vengeance."

"I've warned you before not to mess with me. You didn't believe it and even tried to seduce me with a honey trap!"

"I can assure you, my ancestors have already set their sights on you. You better pray for your own safety."

After dropping these words, Chen Hai swaggered toward the school.

Qian Bing and the others looked at each other, none daring to stop him.

They simply watched as he slowly disappeared from their view.
