8 Breaking the shackles

He was extremely excited that he wished for everything to go smoothly, and days went by in a flash. For starters, Chin Sha had to make the woman kneel first.

"Give up, Chin Sha. I will not come with you. Those women flocking towards you should pluck out their eyeballs and change into a new one. Even toads are better than you," she coldly snorted with a smile.

Chin Sha's expression turned ugly.

"I have patience, but I'm no saint. Do you think I'm not afraid to give you a lesson?"

It was already impressive for Chin Sha to endure Morgiana's sharp tongue. Most women who dare to do that would get a hard slap before they even utter a word! Torture all day if not.

In a way, Chin Sha tried to give her some faces because they were in front of a Grand Noble. Chin Sha wanted to show the Grand Noble that he was a patient and benevolent man to ladies, commoners included. For Morgiana, he wanted her to be obedient.

Morgiana was a beauty too. Who dared to do something cruel and heartless to a delicate flower? No, a delicate flower with thorns.

If Morgiana was obedient after she got that slap, that would be better.

By then, he could persuade the Grand Noble to not let Two-Legged Lustion chase after her as he was also interested in her.

If she was broken, what was her purpose?

But that was an expectation. In reality, Morgiana became more fierce and unyielding.

Then mock after mock, he endured her sharp tongue. However, he had his limits. His anger erupted.

"A lesson?" She snorted as she continued, "You want to show that rich boy over there that you're benevolent to women, and you even dare to hit my face! Even the kindest women would be angry! I'm the one who is going to teach you one!" Her voice rang out to the entire pub. Everyone's heart was shaking as they felt her fury.

Was this really the same beautiful and kind waitress? Everyone's words might be different, but their point was the same.

Morgiana was famous in the pub as she was kind. Sometimes strict and cold, but that side of hers was rarely shown.

When they thought about it. Every time Morgiana was angry, someone provoked her. That person's ending wouldn't be so good.

Now that someone forced her to become their toy, such an outcome was expected. They didn't think of this as they were intimidated by the Grand Noble's presence and Chin Sha.

Now they did, though. These people hoped that Morgiana could slap this guy's face!

Seeing the development, the military man prepared to make a move, and if Chin Sha attacked Morgiana. He would immediately stop his attack, but he stayed put when he saw the woman next to him calmly watch the show.

The military man frowned slightly as he purposely forgot what he wanna do and observed the situation.

"Die, woman!"

Chin Sha sent a fist to her face. Before that, however, the wind was whistling as his punch pierced through the air, coming at her.

As he was totally lost to his emotions, this punch contained every inch of his strength.

The pressure of an all-out attack of a Fifth Cores of Sky cultivator was enough to cause the pub's air to become shockingly tense and heavy. All the spectators dripped down sweat and involuntarily wanted to kneel before that pressure.

Their expression was that of fear and shock.

Xu An sneakily came closer to her while she was talking, but suddenly, she stopped. Wondering why he averted his gaze to Morgiana and saw Chin Sha attack her.

Xu An didn't expect this.

Noticing that the attack could very well kill Morgiana, his eyes shrank. He dashed forward to protect her or at least that was what he thought.

His body couldn't move. In front of Chin Sha's pressure, his body became abnormally stiff and heavy.

He gritted his teeth and yelled in his heart, move! Move! MOVE!

At this moment too. A familiar face suddenly flashed in Xu An's mind. It was blurry, eyes and mouth barely depicted. After an attentive look at the man's mouth, Xu An could see it moving.

"Xu An, be a man that never made any regrets. That's one of the things and the most important part of what makes you a man, and what makes your life fulfilling."

The man's voice was soft yet determined. It seemingly carried intense regret in it that Xu An solemnly took the advice in his heart and didn't want to be that regretful in his life.

Morgiana indifferently and calmly stood there, watching as Chin Sha's fist got closer to her.

She didn't dodge his attack, and once it was hit, her head definitely exploded to a million pieces.

In front of death, she smiled. This was better than living in a world no different from hell. This was the only escape.

The heavens are graceful to me today. She softly muttered, and her smile became brighter. She was like a soul that finally found its eternal peace, incredibly delighted.

Please make it in time! Xu An hurriedly exclaimed as he got out of the crowd and hastily went to her side.

Those words from that mysterious man gave Xu An a boost of courage. He wasn't willing to live happily yet act like nothing had happened today.

If Xu An didn't save Morgiana. The scene of her death would undoubtedly hunt him every time he went to sleep or maybe appeared in his dream, causing him to be restless at night.

To avoid his sleep being disturbed and to live without regret, he quickened his pace to her side.

At this point, he used his qi to his limits so as to increase his speed, but the distance that appeared to be short was akin to a never-ending tunnel. It was far and beyond his reach.

Seeing Chin Sha's punch closing in, Xu An screamed in despair in his mind.

NO!

Out of the blue, his speed increased twofold. As fast as the wind. He instantly vanished from the spot and reappeared between Chin Sha and Morgiana.

He quickly formed a shield with his arms, crossing them, forming an x in front of his chest, and receiving his punch head-on.

Bam!

That physical contact caused the wind to explode and spread. The wind was so great that people near them lost consciousness and flew to the wall, crashing hard.

The floor formed a two-meter deep crater with a width of five meters and changed the nearby tables to fragments as it went everywhere.

Oblivious to this, Morgiana's smile vanished as her memories of a lifetime flashed by, and she regrettably apologized in her heart, mother, father, I'm sorry.

Tears flowed down from the edge of her eyelids.

She already closed her eyes as she was ready herself for the pain. She prepared herself even though a bit scared and nervous.

Strangely, that pain never came.

Curious, she opened her eyes and found a familiar back. It wasn't muscular nor bulky.

It wasn't wide that it was like a mountain or something that could protect her from the calamity of the heavens itself.

It was like a small barricade, but it was all she needed.

A red scarf fluttered, and she smelled the fragrance from it, giving her a sense of safety.

She was extremely grateful, and warmth flickered in her eyes.

But, just as she was about to say something to the man who protected her. His long black hair that was beautifully braided crazily swayed about that it accidentally whipped Morgiana from different directions.

It ruined the touching moment by a large margin.

Meanwhile, Xu An felt his arms numb and his internal organs jumbled. He was sure Chin Sha's attack was going to kill him even if he had one hundred lives!

Yet, for some reason, he was alive!

The woman who sat with the Grand Noble had her eyes glowed red as her palm aimed at Xu An. The military man noticed and asked, "What are you doing?"

"His Fate Constitution tells me he will be an important role for me to recover my lost memories. I can't allow to lose him!" For the first time, she spoke and it was filled with solemnity.

The military man looked at Xu An as he changed his impression of him. He thought inwardly; If what she said is true. He's no ordinary!

On the other hand, after that one punch. Chin Sha jolted backward for a few steps before stabilizing himself.

He looked at Xu An in shock and disbelief. His right hand went sore, and his arm was incredibly numb. He felt like his arm was disjointed.

He shook his hand and asked in alarm, "who are you?"

After that, a man screamed in pain. Everyone's attention instantly focused on him as they saw the man was bashing his head to the ground. He would scream frantically after bashing his head.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Asked Xu An. The one in pain should be him. What's the explanation here? Hum... It was as if the pain transmitted to him. Wait, transmitted. Xu An remembered the woman aimed her palm at him and talk about Fate Constitution.

"Is this your doing?" Pondered Xu An as he retracted his gaze on the woman.

"Yes, I transmit the pain and damage you might get to someone random here," replied the woman.

"Why did you help me?" Pondered Xu An.

"It's not helping you. It's to make you indebted to me."

"The reason?"

"You'll know." She ended the conversation.

"You get lucky," said Chin Sha. He knew the woman's ability well.

"Luck also plays a role in a battle."

"Tell me your name," demanded Chin Sha.

"Granger, Granger Redwood," replied Xu An. Not intend to tell him his real name. Most people here didn't know who he was as he rarely went into the pub, and the only ones who remembered him were old Zhan and Morgiana.

As he was in the public. Xu An chose to him give an alias. As of now, Chin Sha was a Grand Noble henchman. Messing with him means messing with the Grand Noble himself. 

In this regard, if the Grand Noble knew he was from the Xu clan. He might use this as an advantage.

Although his face was uncovered, there were a lot of people here. Xu An wasn't particularly too handsome that it attract attention. He was average handsome. Probably because he didn't take care of his look. If he did, well...

"Granger?" Chin Sha shortly pondered. He never heard this name. "Who are you to this young lady?"

Xu An turned his head at Morgiana, and as soon as he did that, he got a good beating on the head.

It was from Morgiana. Her expression was that of anger.

The pain transmitted to his head. Xu An rubbed his head to ease the pain and shouted, "What the heck is that for?! I just saved your life!"

Though it was thanks to the woman who transmitted the pain. It can't be denied he played a big role too.

Morgiana grabbed his long, braided hair and pulled it. Xu An groaned in pain as his head tilted back.

"Xu-, Granger. How about I cut this part of yours?" She asked with a teasing smile.

It was painful to get one's hair being pulled like that. Tears even began to silently drop from his eyes.

"Hey! Let go! It took hours to do this! Don't ruin it! What did it to you?"

Morgiana recalled the supposedly most touching moment of her life was ruined because of a hairstyle.

And thinking that moment couldn't happen again made her annoyed. Who disliked such a moment?

Anyway, Morgiana motioned her hand to the right and left, with her hand tightly gripped Xu An's long hair. Causing Xu An's head to follow where his hair was being pulled.
