Chapter 258 Bang!

Chapter 258 Bang!　　Fang Chi was scared stiff as he backed into the wall behind him, he didn't know what to do anymore the restroom had no windows and he couldn't even get out of the cubicle even if he wanted to, now what should he do? Cry for help but whom will he call? Then there was no other choice, he grabbed the bowl of water that was on the table and prepared himself to take on the person who was standing outside jingling the lock of the door. Even though the door looked like it was sturdy, it was old and he was certain that if he didn't react soon, then the lock of the door might break anytime since it was too old to suffer the injustice it was being made to go through. 

Clutching the bowl over his head, Fang Chi prepared to knock it on the head of whoever it was but then-

" Aha! You rascal, I got you" Xiang Hua's voice resonated outside the corridor and then there was a loud bang. Fang Chi was startled, in his fear he has forgotten that Xiao Hua came to the rest house with him, listening to the sounds outside, it seemed that Xiang Hua was fighting those ruffians all alone. This can't do, he can't let him be alone with those ruffians! Fang Chi clenched his fists and was just preparing to go outside at the right time when the smell of blood permeated the air. His pupils shook then without caring about the so-called right moment, he just opened the door of his cubicle and ran out, waving the bowl in his hands wildly. " You bastard!! How dare you try to get handsy with a mer!"

Bang!

He was still waving the bowl in the air but then his moments seized when the bowl slammed right into someone and fell on the floor with a loud crash. Stunned, Fang Chi who was flailing the bowl in his hand with his eyes closed opened his eyes and his gaze fell on a badly scarred woman whose entire face was covered with blood. Damn, what did he do? Did he use too much force and hurt the woman but no wait - this wasn't the time to worry about this woman, what happened to Xiao Hua?

He looked up and to his surprise, Xiao Hua was completely fine. He was still standing upright in his flashy clothes without even an uneven crease on those resplendent clothes, forget about blood, he looked there wasn't even a scratch on his face, in fact, he looked like he was enjoying what he was seeing, Fang Chi blinked his eyes and looked at Xiang Hua in complete shock. " you…you are okay?"

Xiao Hua raised a brow and looked at him haughtily with a gaze that one might use on an idiot, pointing to himself he asked, " what do you think? How do I look?"

Fang Chi parted his lips and answered unconsciously, " you look fine." Though it was completely unbelievable, that he looked like he hasn't even moved a finger after dealing with this thug.

" So why are you asking something so obvious?" said Xiao Hua with an eye roll as he kicked the thug whom Fang Chi has knocked unconscious. " This woman has been following us for quite some time, it's weird that none of you detected her presence, it wasn't that she was being even the slightest bit subtle. Don't you think that you guys are a bit too much relaxed?"

Fang Chi: "….." don't you think that you are the one who is too observant of your surroundings?

Then he looked down at the bleeding thug and asked, " but what was a woman doing here in this restroom? Did she make a mistake since her eyes are closed because of all that blood?"

" Oh of course not," said Xiao Hua waving his hand with a 'please you gotta be joking' air and continued, " it is I who dealt with this woman and that's how she came to look like this."

" How? I mean? How can you do this-" though Fang Chi was the one who asked the question, he instantly regretted it when Xiao Hua's smile became strange. " let it be, there is no need for you to say anything-"

However, before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Hua waved his fan and pinched on something that made a subtle pop sound and then five blades were sticking out of his fan, with an innocent smile that completely shook Fang Chi's insides he asked, " isn't it cute? I had it custom made when someone tried to make a move on me, that woman didn't leave her house for good six months."

" Yeah it's cute," said Fang Chi awkwardly with a newfound fear regarding this mer who was standing in front of him. This Xiao Hua was no joke, just look at that gorgeous face with that blooming smile and then look at that threatening weapon he was holding in his hands, he shouldn't have worried about this guy just look at him, he could have dealt with this woman all by himself without even making a sound. Then as if to change the topic, he kicked the woman lying on the floor with his foot and asked, " now what are we going to do with this woman?"

"We are going to take her to Yamen of course," said Xiao Hua without batting an eye. " If we leave her just like that she will create trouble for other mers, don't you think that she deserves to be locked in case she starts running around like a bitch in heat again, that will be too much trouble." Then he started rummaging through his robe and took out a rope from one of his pockets, Fang Chi who saw a varied number of weapons in Xiao Hua's pockets couldn't help but take a step back. " you - you actually carry a dagger with you?"

Xiao Hua, who was busy tying the woman, looked up and shot another 'are you an idiot' glance at Fang Chi casually said, " what do you mean by that? It's basic self-defence. A mer always needs to carry a small weapon to protect himself."

Fang Chi: "…." Small? At least look at the size of the dagger before saying that! Even Yu Dong doesn't carry that big of a dagger when she goes hunting.
