Chapter 36: The young lady surrounded by delinquents

Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu

For those cultivators who belonged to a sect, if Song Shuhang joined the sect with his age, he’d be similar to someone totally illiterate—a ninety-year-old person with one leg stepping into the coffin suddenly wanting to attend primary school. Even if this old person had overcome numerous difficulties and enrolled in school, how much could he learn? What sort of accomplishments would he attain? Furthermore, he didn’t even have a future—who knew if a ninety-year-old person wouldn’t suddenly die tomorrow?

Even if Song Shuhang successfully established his foundation, the time consumed in the future for his advancement and resources would number much more compared to youngsters who established their foundation when they were four to five years old.

On one side, there was a disciple certain to make rapid advancements while consuming lesser resources and having unlimited prospects.

On another side, there was Song Shuhang who would have it hard to make any advancements while consuming more resources and having bleak prospects.

As long as higher-ups within a sect did not have a screw loose, they would not devote too much time, efforts, mentoring, and resources on Song Shuhang.

If a fellow Daoist in Nine Provinces Number One Group had recommended Song Shuhang to a sect, even if they would be able to take care of him within the sect for a period of time, they would not be able to do so forever!

Immortal Fortune Teller Copper Trigram was unable to refute him. He did not think as deeply into it as Northern River’s Loose Cultivator and only thought that being a loose cultivator was filled with difficulties. He did not think that for Song Shuhang, sects were not much better an option.

“Therefore, the difference between sects and cultivating on his own is not big to Song Shuhang. In this way, allowing him to make his own choice is the best way. Even if the choice he made was wrong, since he chose it himself, he would be unable to blame anyone,” Northern River’s Loose Cultivator indifferently replied.

As for them, senior loose cultivators, what they could do was to assist Song Shuhang whenever he was in need.

Jiangnan College Town, Dormitory.

Song Shuhang leaned on his chair and looked at a sealed cup beside his desk. It contained the leftover Body Tempering Liquid; it required to be matched with Medicine Master’s Foundation Meditation Technique and Fist Technique to better display the medicinal effects.

Just then, a melodious song resounded. It was his phone’s ringtone.

Song Shuhang pressed the answer button and Tubo’s voice was transmitted to his ear, “Shuhang, are you done sorting out the two huge boxes? If you’re done, head over here. Yangde’s house has been decided! You should come here too and join the rest of us to extort a meal.”

“Alright, I’ll head there immediately. Send me the address.” Song Shuhang replied.

“I’ll send it to you via a text message.” Tubo hung up the call.

Ending the phone call, Song Shuhang put down his phone and looked outside the balcony through the windows.

Perhaps he also should rent a room outside the school like Yangde.

He didn’t need to stay outside, but in the future, when he wanted to refine pills or cultivate, he would require a place where he wouldn’t be disturbed.

‘If I want to rent a room outside, should I work part-time?’ Song Shuhang was only an ordinary student, he did not have computer skills like Yangde and could only work part-time to earn money.

Speaking of which, how do seniors in Nine Provinces Number One Group earn money? They are not isolated from the world, and should require money for everyday matters, right? At least they would need to pay their electricity and internet bills or something.

During the period where his imagination ran wild, Tubo sent a message with the location.

Auspicious Street Area, Block 221D Room 602.

This was a street near the College Town.

❄️❄️❄️

‘The district’s not bad and it’s close to the school. This Yangde fella has found a great place.’ Song Shuhang looked at his mobile phone’s map and followed it to the location Tubo sent over.

Auspicious Street Area was an old residential area. Due to the unruly construction back in the days, the buildings had countless changes, with different sizes and alleyways intertwining vertically and horizontally. It seemed messy even when he was looking from afar.

‘If this is the location, I can take a shortcut and save time.’ Thinking till here, Song Shuhang went into an alleyway, with his figure similar to an agile fish while traveling within different lanes.

These secluded alleys were formerly gathering locations of school’s delinquents.

While speaking of delinquents, he could not refrain from recalling the group who was eliminated two days ago.

That group of delinquents that was eliminated in a split second—each punched until their mother couldn’t even recognize them—had finally woke up after being unconscious for two days.

After the event, the school’s news department had specially assigned members to inquire them about just how they lost their consciousness.

Something strange was, none of them could recall the situation even if they had squeezed out all their brain juices. A segment of the incident that day was missing in their memories and they didn’t even know why they were hospitalized. In their memories, they were still smoking and acting cool in the small alley the previous second, while waking up in the hospital the next; confusion was apparent on their faces.

The hospital was also totally unable to detect the root cause and could only diagnose them as collective memory loss while this matter could only be dismissed at this point.

This incident had become one of Jiangnan College Town’s unfathomable events.

‘Evidently, their memories were tampered with.’ Song Shuhang thought.

If only one or two had hazy memories, it could be due to being knocked on their head, thus resulting in unclear memories. However, it was dozens of people, and every one of them had fuzzy memories, losing the segment of memory where they were eliminated. There were no such coincidences in this world.

Due to the incident with that group of delinquents, recently the delinquents who gathered around College Town’s vicinity had exercised restraint—in the past, these alleys were originally the delinquents’ gathering location and were all filled with them, but the numbers drastically decreased these few days.

What came after, was the public security improving around the vicinity.

There’s this saying: ‘Say fu*k, then fu*k!’

Oh wait, that wrong. It should be: ‘say fu*k and fu*k arrives.’

Just when the word ‘delinquents’ surfaced in Song Shuhang’s mind, quickly, a group of them who were smoking appeared right in front of him.

There was a total of seven people, with everyone having long hair dyed in every color under the sun. Ear, lip, and nose piercings were in abundance, while all had cigarettes in their mouths. All that was lacking was a label carved on their foreheads, ‘I am in my rebellious phase, I am a delinquent.’

The target of theirs was naturally not Song Shuhang, this well-built guy. Even if they weren’t delinquents, rarely would they provoke a student like Song Shuhang who looked like he could fight.

Currently, those delinquents were smiling sinisterly while surrounding a young lady. One of them, around the height of 172 cm, was currently in a ‘Kabedon’ posture while forcing her to back up against the wall.

“Pretty girl, are you feeling lonely here alone? Do you want to play with us?”

“It’s free of charge, with all different types of pleasure.”

“It’ll be very comfortable.”

“These few brothers will accompany you to play.”

“There’s a pretty good small shop nearby, not far away from here. I guarantee you’ll want to continue playing after trying it once.”

The delinquents did all sorts of teasing and tantalizing.

Song Shuhang then looked at the young lady who was surrounded by them.

With an estimated height of 150 cm, short hair, and a pretty face even without makeup, she looked like she was only a high schooler due to her petite stature, but in fact, her actual age might be older.

A cute and pretty lady alone in a small alley, it’d be a wonder if she didn’t attract these delinquents. So, females should never be alone in areas with fewer people.

Right now, the girl’s eyebrows were scrunched, and an obviously disdainful expression was on her face.

Even with such an expression on her petite face, she still looked cute.

“Ey, even when you’re angry, it’s still cute. Let this brother properly shower you with affection, alright?” The delinquent blocking her revealed a chairman-like sinister smile with one hand on the wall and another hand trying to stroke her face.

Song Shuhang sighed as he was unable to continue looking at it.

He clenched his fist while taking large strides forward.

As he had just been strengthened by Body Tempering Liquid, he was somewhat unable to control his speed, and with just a little bit of force, he rushed forth with a whoosh.

The delinquent who was teasing the young girl only felt his eyes go blurry, and shortly after, Song Shuhang who was seven to eight meters away behind him suddenly appeared beside him.

All that was seen were Song Shuhang’s hands extending out with his palms open before his huge hand grasped that golden-haired delinquent’s head.

That golden-haired delinquent was around 172 cm tall and Song Shuhang was only slightly taller than him.

“Hey, I say, can’t you guy see that this girl’s not willing to play with you?” Song Shuhang slightly put pressure on his hand and lifted the delinquent up in the air.

What the! Song Shuhang was even shocked himself. He knew that his strength had increased tremendously after undergoing strengthening by Body Tempering Liquid. However, he did not think that a hundred-plus-pound human was as light as a wooden stick in his hand.
