Chapter 139: Codename "Goddess"

  I knew she would come after me sooner or later, so I said: "Actually, I don't usually do this, just occasionally. But if someone doesn't believe it, I might just do it a few more times. After all, I'm already infamous, and I don't care about a few more people knowing my glorious history."

  I was so rude that Xia Lin suddenly became angry and wanted to hit me. But just then, a hurried footsteps were heard, and four armed police officers rushed into the waiting room. Looking at their appearance, they obviously came to find someone, as soon as they entered the door, they looked around nervously, all of them still very tense.

  I knew it was our ID cards that had the problem, so I quickly pulled Xialin who was still angry and said to Dongfang Yonghao "Let's go" and hastily ran towards the back door.

  Xia Lin was caught off guard and didn't realize it was me pulling her until she started running. She struggled free from my grasp and angrily asked, "What are you doing?"

  Her voice was very loud, so it immediately attracted the attention of many people, including those four armed police officers. The four armed police officers immediately shouted: "Halt!"

  Xia Lin finally reacted and knew she had gotten into trouble. I didn't care what she was thinking, pulled her again, and ran extremely fast towards the back door.

  Dongfang Yonghao didn't react slowly, seeing the situation wasn't good, he immediately followed in my footsteps. The three of us ran wildly all the way until we reached the outside of the back door.

  But what I didn't expect was that outside this back door, there were also armed police guarding. As soon as they saw the three of us, the guns in their hands immediately rose up.

  I was about to surrender, but Dongfang Yonghao suddenly accelerated, charging into the armed police like a fierce tiger. The sound of gunfire and screams rang out simultaneously, with the armed police firing their guns, but it wasn't Dongfang Yonghao who let out the blood-curdling scream. This was somewhat inexplicable and eerie. Because the ones doing the shooting were the armed police, yet the ones screaming in agony were also the armed police.

  Just as the armed police opened fire, Dongfang Yonghao had already rushed to their front. Dongfang Yonghao only made a few moves, and those armed police immediately dropped their helmets and armor, one by one rolling on the ground. They were simply no match for a master like Dongfang Yonghao, and in the blink of an eye they were seriously injured by him.

  I saw that Dongfang Yonghao didn't make a killing move, and I secretly felt relieved. Then, with a burst of strength in my hand, I pulled the slightly stunned Xia Lin and started running like flying.

  We didn't run off somewhere else, our destination was the train we bought tickets for.

  The train was stopped in the station, and we saw the big words on the front of the train from far away. So we ran over as fast as possible, without caring whether the departure time was still early or not, rushed into the crowd of people who were getting on the train, quickly found our own seats, and sat down.

  It wasn't until then that I let go of Xia Lin's hand and gave her a slight smile: "Once we're on the bus, we'll be safe. They wouldn't dare to do anything to us with so many people around."

  Xia Lin's face looked terrible, and she chose not to hear what I said at all.

  I just smiled and pretended she had already heard. But Dongfang Yonghao was getting impatient, looking at me coldly and saying: "You sit in the front."

  I glanced at Xialing sitting next to me near the window and shook my head, saying: "I'm fine where I am, why go to the front?"

  Dongfang Yonghao glared with a pair of bloodshot eyes, but seemed to swallow his words, probably afraid of saying something wrong and upsetting Xia Lin.

  I knew what he was thinking, but I pretended not to know and intentionally asked him: "Are your eyes uncomfortable? Do you want to go see a doctor first? Otherwise, if it's contagious, it won't be good for the people on this bus."

  Dongfang Yonghao was taken aback, just about to refute my words, when an old man sitting next to him said: "What's wrong, young man? Got pink eye? That needs to be treated right away. This disease is contagious, or else we'll all get pink eye on this bus."

  A fierce glint flashed in Dongfang Yonghao's eyes, but it was instantly restored to its original state. He heard him say: "Don't worry, my eyes are fine, if you don't believe me, you can take a look."

  The old man really looked at Dongfang Yonghao's eyes and smiled: "This is not conjunctivitis, it won't be contagious." After a pause, he turned his head to look at me and said: "Young man, don't worry, this isn't conjunctivitis, it should be angular blepharitis, not contagious either."

  I was initially puzzled by the old man's fuss, but after hearing him out, I couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Right, I was wrong, I thought it was pink eye, turns out it's cockeye, and you're so knowledgeable, sir."

  Dongfang Yonghao was furious and wanted to take action, but Xia Lin said at this time: "Sit down." Her voice was not loud, but Dongfang Yonghao almost instinctively sat down, not daring to make any further moves.

  I secretly smiled and said with a straight face: "Don't look at you being arrogant, but aren't you just a beauty who's been tamed by one sentence?"

  Dongfang Yonghao's chest was filled with rage, and he suddenly stood up. One of his fists had already struck towards my nose.

  "Sit down!" Xia Lin said again.

  Dongfang Yonghao's fist was less than three centimeters away from my nose, but it stopped abruptly. The punch made my cheek ache a bit, and Dongfang Yonghao's gaze at me was also quite malicious.

  "Sit down! I don't want to say it a second time!"

  Dongfang Yonghao slowly withdrew his fist and sat down. The old man beside him seemed to be frightened, shaking all over, and kept saying: "How can you fight with just one sentence? Don't you know there are police on the bus? It's really...".

  Dongfang Yonghao tried hard to calm down the anger in his heart, but I said to Xia Lin: "You're still better off, at least you won't resort to violence at every turn."

  Xia Lin frowned at me with a face full of disgust.

  I slightly froze, then stood up and proactively took a step back, finding an empty seat to sit down in. I didn't dare sit with her together again. This empty seat was four rows away from Xia Lin and Dongfang Yonghao, even if they had intentions to scheme against me, it wouldn't be that easy.

  I saw Xia Lin seem to have smiled slightly, but immediately pulled her face back up again.

  I secretly let out a sigh of relief, then closed my eyes and pretended to fall asleep. In fact, what I was doing was looking for an opportunity to get away from Xia Lin and Dongfang Yonghao. After all, the two of them were my enemies, although I had saved them, but I was 120% sure that they would kill me as soon as they got the chance.

  This can be seen from my previous probe, especially Dongfang Yonghao, who has almost never stopped thinking about killing me.

  I can't give them too much opportunity, nor can I not give them the opportunity. Otherwise, how would I know from their mouths what I want to know?

  Up until now, I still don't know where they come from, which organization they belong to, how much power they have, and what their purpose is.

  My understanding of them is almost zero. I have to use some means and tactics, at least, I must first figure out their identities and purposes.

  Before the train started, no one really came to bother us. Including those police officers walking back and forth in the carriage, none of them noticed us.

  I closed my eyes and rested, occasionally listening to the movements of Dongfang Yonghao and Xia Lin, then continued pretending to sleep.

  The train is not fast, but since the train started, I still feel that we have gone very far. It seems that by now we have left Beijing and are probably at the border of Hebei and Shanxi provinces.

  At this time, I heard Dongfang Yonghao speaking: "Miss, are you hungry? Otherwise, I'll go buy something for you to eat?"

  Xia Lin said: "You go."

  Dongfang Yonghao got up and slowly walked away, gradually disappearing behind me. I was originally sitting in front of them, at this time he went to the dining car, which is located in the back.

  I felt a slight unease in my heart, opened my eyes and looked at Xia Lin who was still sitting in her original position, suddenly I had a feeling that my chance had come.

  So I quickly stood up and sat back beside Xia Lin at the fastest speed. My arrival, Xia Lin seemed not to be surprised, but instead smiled: "You came quickly, Dong Fang just left."

  Her words sounded awkward to me, but I didn't think much of it and directly asked: "Miss, what exactly are you?"

  Xia Lin was taken aback, then smiled and said: "This is something you need to investigate yourself, I won't tell you."

  "Then I asked: 'Are you really going to Xinjiang? Where should I get off?"

  Xia Lin also smiled and said: "We are really going to Xinjiang. What's with you getting off the bus? You should ask yourself that question."

  I also want to ask, suddenly I felt a strange movement behind me. I quickly lowered my head, and an object immediately passed over my head, almost wiping out my brain.

  I took one glance and saw that it was a military sword, and what's more, it was the sword of a Japanese pirate. So I turned around and said, "If you don't stop, get ready to collect your young lady's corpse."

  The military knife that was about to cut me down suddenly stopped in mid-air and then disappeared. I still said without looking back, "You're smart and can deceive people, I've known this for a long time, there's no need to use it on me again and again."

  Dongfang Yonghao appeared beside me like a ghost, saying coldly: "How did you know I was in this carriage? My stealth technique isn't something that ordinary people can detect. Moreover, your eyes were closed just now."

  I slowly withdrew my hand from the left waist of Xia Lin, then turned back to look at Dongfang Yonghao with a face full of murderous intent and said: "Brother, your stealth technique is indeed impressive, but your breathing still can't be completely stopped. No need for idle chatter, hand over your military knife to me for safekeeping."

  Dongfang Yonghao slowly handed me a military sword wrapped in newspaper, I took it with one hand, looked at it, and then smiled: "The Japanese pirates may not be great, but the soldiers they forged are really not ordinary, they can keep up with our ancient Chinese craftsmanship."

  Xia Lin's face was crimson as she said coldly: "I will remember your frivolity towards me, and when I have the chance, I will repay you tenfold."

  I knew she was saying that because my hand had touched her waist just now. I whispered to her, "That's a good feeling, I touched you once, you touch me ten times, I don't lose out, and you're not being taken advantage of. It's fair for everyone."

  Xia Lin's face turned even redder, and she burst out scolding: "You pervert, the Goddess Organization will not let you off... You... You're trying to trick me!"

  I laughed: "Thank you for telling me that your organization is called Goddess. But this doesn't seem like a name of an organization, is it a code name? I understand now, the code name of your organization is 'Goddess'. Haha, thank you, Comrade Xia Lin."

  Xia Lin's face turned pale with anger, her chest heaving more violently than before. I stared blankly, unaware of my surroundings.

  Xia Lin seemed to have also noticed that there was something wrong with my eyes, and hastily leaned back, angrily saying: "What are you looking at? Pervert!"

  I couldn't help but smile and said, "The Goddess Organization, doesn't it have the goddesses from ancient Chinese legends? Like the Goddess of Wushan Mountain, Yao Ji, or the Nine Heavens' Maiden, Xuan Nü? Or maybe even the Moon Goddess, Chang'e? And surely not the Queen Mother of the West, who is the Jade Emperor's wife and the highest-ranking female official in heaven?"

  Xia Lin's face flashed a hint of surprise, and then she coldly sneered: "It seems you really are a big pervert... You only know those beautiful and pretty goddesses."

  I hastily shook my head: "I dare not be disrespectful to the gods in heaven, what I mean is that your organization has a code name like Wushan Female God or Jiutian Niangniang, but it's not saying you are those beautiful and respectable heavenly gods."

  Xia Lin slightly frowned, and a hint of anger reappeared on her face: "Are you saying that we're not as beautiful as those goddesses?"

  I hastily shook my head, and in Xia Lin's slowly relaxing expression, I said seriously: "It's not that you guys aren't as beautiful as those goddesses in the sky, it's just that you can't be compared to them..."

  Xia Lin's face immediately rose with anger, as if her boyfriend had deliberately led a girl who was a hundred times more beautiful than her to her face and said "This is my new girlfriend", making her furious.

  Dongfang Yonghao coldly shouted from the side: "Jin Cang, you'd better stop spouting nonsense, or I'll turn against you on the spot!"

  I turned around and looked at him, then smiled: "When have you ever not flipped out? I'm really scared, old brother!"

  Dongfang Yonghao immediately wanted to take action, but the military knife wrapped in newspaper in my hand reached his chest a step earlier.

  He slowly lowered his raised hand, then gritted his teeth and said: "Sooner or later, you will pay the price for what you just said."

  I smiled lightly: "Then I'll wait. But don't take too long, I think the most I can live in this lifetime is 110 years, if you exceed that limit, don't blame me for not waiting for you."

  Dongfang Yonghao's face changed color again, a grayish hue gradually creeping up his face. I don't know if he was infuriated by me or if he had cultivated some kind of unusual skill, but his face actually turned that color, which is rarely seen.

  Xia Lin said at this time: "There are many people in the car, calm down."

  Dongfang Yonghao was stunned for a moment, and then slowly regained his normal complexion.

  I immediately confirmed a fact, that this Dongfang Yonghao had indeed cultivated some special skill, and when using this skill, his face would actually turn gray, just like a dead person. Perhaps, this skill of his was at the cost of consuming his life force, so it would be used up in advance, which is why his face changed greatly when he used it.

  I silently took note of this and smiled, saying: "There aren't many police on the car either, at most a hundred or so people. You two... should be able to take them down."

  Dongfang Yonghao let out a cold snort and didn't say another word. He then sat down in the position in front of where I was sitting earlier.

  I was overjoyed and immediately said to Xia Lin: "He's gone, we can finally have a good chat. No one will disturb us, it's just what I wanted."

  The old man in front of us turned back and smiled: "This young man is quite domineering. But it's right, when I was young, I had a love rival too, at that time I was like you now, and I squeezed him out. Look, we both have grandsons now, haha..."

  I was stunned, and then laughed: "Grandpa is really awesome, I admire you. However, Grandpa, my girlfriend might be angry already, so please don't make things worse, or else if she ignores me later, I'll come looking for you to settle the score."

  The old man chuckled: "Alright, alright, I won't bother you anymore. You young couple go talk quietly, I'm going to take a nap."

  I smiled slightly and turned back to look at Xia Lin, who was staring at me with a furious expression. The first thing she said was: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who is your girlfriend?"

  I smiled and didn't argue back, but asked instead: "Then tell me, does a goddess not look for a boyfriend or get married?"

  Xia Lin was taken aback for a moment, then sneered: "Don't try to play this trick on me. What does it have to do with you that the people in our female organization can't find boyfriends?"

  I forced a smile and said: "Then tell me, what kind of god are you? Don't say it's the moon god, the moon god is lonely for life, very bleak."

  Xia Lin was stunned again, and then suddenly straightened up, staring at me fiercely, saying: "What does my lifelong loneliness have to do with you?"

  I'm also stunned, I didn't expect to guess it right away: "I... what I mean is, if only you were a different god, that would be great!"

  What I just said sounds like something a famous crosstalk actor would say, even the tone is almost the same. So Xia Lin couldn't help but burst out laughing. With this laugh, the anger from earlier instantly dissipated without a trace.

  "But the moon goddess also has her advantages. At least in my heart, the moon goddess is the most beautiful."

  Xia Lin heard what I said, and there was a hint of joy on her face. However, my next sentence made the joy on her face disappear, replaced by even heavier anger.

  "What a pity she was somewhat ruthless, for the sake of becoming an immortal, she alone took the elixir of immortality, causing Hou Yi to be grief-stricken and spend his life in misery..."

  Xia Lin loudly interrupted me: "What do you know, nonsense. Chang'e clearly swallowed the elixir of immortality because she was forced by Pong Mo's covetousness and had no other choice. Hou Yi was heartbroken and set up an incense altar, offering honey food and fresh fruit to worship his beloved wife from afar. Even the common people at that time set up incense burners to pray for Chang'e's safety and well-being. Haven't you heard of the story of Mid-Autumn Festival?"

  Xia Lin's excitement made her voice louder, and many people on the bus looked over. After she finished speaking, the people on the bus surprisingly started applauding and cheering. The applause was loud, and if it continued, the police officer on board would definitely come to check, which would be troublesome.

  I felt something was wrong, just as I was thinking of a solution, someone said: "This lady is absolutely right, Chang'e should not be belittled, she is our moon goddess, an immortal, and we should worship her."

  The speaker was Dongfang Yonghao, and only he had such a quick reaction. Listening to him continue, "However, we are all on the train now, it's not suitable for loud noises, lest we cause misunderstandings. So, if we want to discuss Chang'e's matter, it's better to speak softly."

  The people in the car nodded one after another as soon as they heard Dongfang Yonghao's words, and their voices suddenly became much softer.

  I let out a long sigh of relief and gave Dongfang Yonghao a thumbs up.
