Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

"Captain Chen, you've just taken office. Go and get acquainted with her; you'll be dealing with her quite a bit in the future."

As he spoke, the monkey was the fastest, quickly extinguishing the fire with sand. While clapping his hands, he muttered to himself, "Captain Chen, we're sneaking in here to grill fish, but we can't let her catch us red-handed, or we'll get a scolding."

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

Chen You patted the debris off his hands, stood up, and walked towards the shore.

At this moment, the small boat had already safely docked at the shore.

At the bow of the boat, a woman lightly leaped off.

Chen You looked up and saw that the woman was wearing a fitted outfit that perfectly accentuated her voluptuous figure.

With a long sword tied at his waist, he walked with a heroic and dashing air, exuding an aura of dominance that could not be underestimated.

However, on her oval face, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and there was a unique charm of a mature woman between her eyes and brows, with a touch of heroism in her cold beauty.

This is Luo Haitang.

Although she is over thirty years old, perhaps because she is not married, her skin and face are as youthful as a girl's.

"Greetings, Deputy Instructor." Chen You stepped forward and politely clasped his hands in greeting.

On the boat behind Luo Haitang, there were two young girls who were deftly tying the mooring ropes, obviously responsible for steering the boat and helping out.

Luo Haitang stepped off the boat expressionlessly, her phoenix eyes sweeping over Chen You before she coldly said, "Never seen you before."

"My name is Chen You, a disciple of the Yanyang Martial Arts School. I was just transferred here today," Chen You replied.

"Just arrived?" Luo Haitang's delicate nose twitched slightly. Her gaze fell on the sand pile not far away, still emitting wisps of smoke. A cold smile appeared on her lips. "Quite leisurely, huh? During your duty, you're actually gathering here to grill and eat?"

Chen You's heart sank, thinking to himself that he was unlucky and had been discovered after all.

"It's my first day here, so I thought I'd familiarize myself with the surrounding waters and terrain, and also..." Chen You explained weakly, trying to bluff her way out of the situation.

"I don't need to hear your explanation." Luo Haitang interrupted him directly, her voice as cold as ice. "Neglect of duty is punishable by law. You are hereby punished to patrol the streets all night for the next five nights without fail!!"

Chen You sighed inwardly. She hadn't expected to offend her boss on her very first day on the job. She could only lower her head and reply, "Yes, I understand."

"Alright, stop making that sour face." Luo Haitang crossed her arms, a hint of unyielding authority flashing across her cold, beautiful face. "Now, search this island for me. Before dark, find a grey and white wild duck."

"A duck?" Chen You was taken aback.

"Yes, I just saw it on the river. That duck had an old clam in its beak." A glint of light flashed in Luo Haitang's eyes. "The clam shell was as big as a face plate, with a faint purple glow around the edges. It most likely contained a top-grade pearl. The beast was startled and flew down into the reeds on this island. Find it for me. The clam is yours, and the duck is yours."

A top-grade pearl is a treasure that nourishes the body and beautifies the skin; it is extremely valuable.

Chen You's heart stirred.

Looking for something?

This is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself!

At this moment, Da Kui, Lao Mu, A Shui, and Monkey all ran over.

They knelt on one knee, chattering amongst themselves, "Vice Leader, let's go find it right away!"

"Yes, yes, we must find it."

"Don't know which way to go?"

"It's getting dark..."

The four people were filled with fear.

Although they all wanted to achieve something, the problem was that it was getting dark, making it unlikely they would be able to find it.

However, Chen You was not worried.

He watched as Luo Haitang led the two girls deeper into the jungle, a thought flashing through his mind. He silently recited, "Gather information about me in the vicinity!"

[Information 1: Captain Luo Lei is a compulsive gambler who has recently racked up a huge debt! He bullies his subordinates because he's a member of the Luo family. Hearing of your arrival, he's decided to give you a taste of his power and make you pay him a price.]

Upon seeing this message, Chen You frowned.

But now is not the time to think about that.

[Message 2: Deputy Leader Luo Haitang, I got my period today and am feeling irritable!! I just saw you guys having a barbecue, so I'm deliberately trying to make things difficult for you.]

"Hehe, I figured it out."

[Information 3: The wild duck Luo Haitang is looking for is hiding in a reed bed southeast of Wild Duck Island!]

"Found it." Chen You was overjoyed.

[Information 4: Where Luo Haitang is standing, a venomous snake is coiled up. This is a seven-step rattlesnake, which is highly venomous; a bite from it can be fatal!]

…………

Good heavens!!

Chen You's gaze sharpened; these pieces of information were all extremely useful.

Although Luo Haitang had just deliberately made things difficult for him, he still decided to lend a hand.

the reason is simple.

After he saved her, she would thank him no matter what, right? At the very least, she wouldn't make things difficult for him, would she?

At this moment, Luo Haitang, accompanied by two maids, was standing in a dense reed bed, trying to find traces of the duck.

"Deputy Instructor!" Chen You pushed aside the reeds and strode forward, hissing, "Don't go any further! Watch out for the poisonous snakes at your feet!"

"Hmm?" Luo Haitang frowned, glanced at Chen You sideways, and said coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could there be poisonous snakes here?"

She simply didn't believe it.

After all, she grew up in this area and knew it like the backyard. Moreover, she was very confident in her current martial arts skills. If there was any danger, how could she not be aware of it?

Seeing that Luo Haitang remained unmoved and even continued to take steps forward, Chen You didn't have time to explain. His right hand flashed to his waist, and he instantly drew the heavy wood-chopping knife he used for self-defense.

"How dare you!!"

Upon seeing this, the two young maids behind Luo Haitang immediately rebuked her sharply, their pretty faces turning frosty.

This new patrol captain dared to brandish a weapon in front of the deputy instructor; he was simply lawless and far too arrogant!

Chen You didn't bother arguing with them at all. His blood and qi surged, his arm muscles tensed up, and he flung the wood-chopping knife in his hand away!

Li Xunhuan's flying dagger flashes in an instant!

A sudden gust of wind arose.

Luo Haitang's phoenix eyes turned cold, and she instinctively mustered her strength, about to teach this ungrateful subordinate a lesson. However, she keenly realized that the menacing woodcutter's knife was not aimed at her.

Whoosh!

The machete grazed Luo Haitang's trouser leg, creating a gust of wind, and then slammed heavily into a patch of wet, muddy grass beside her.

puff! !

With a muffled thud as a blade pierced flesh, a triangular snake head, dripping with dark green venom, suddenly flew up, tumbled twice in the air, and finally landed with a thud in the mud not far away.

Luo Haitang's expression changed slightly, and she took a half step back before quickly dodging.

Upon closer inspection, she realized that the machete had precisely sliced ​​a snake in half at the waist.

The snake's body was still writhing and convulsing wildly in the mud, emitting a foul, fishy smell.

"this…………"

The two maids were speechless. The words of rebuke stuck in their throats, their faces filled with astonishment and lingering fear.

They also have a very sharp eye.

At a glance, it was clear that this snake was a seven-step rattlesnake.

The place where Luo Haitang was about to leave was right where this snake was going.

But if they get too close, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Because this snake's venom... has no cure!

Luo Haitang took a few steps back again, her gaze becoming complicated.

She, the dignified deputy instructor, was actually saved by a newly arrived patrol boat squad leader...?

Do you believe it?
