When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 927 - 360: Time to End This (2)

"Someone has to teach him a lesson somehow." The chairman said calmly.

Lao Jia couldn’t say anything further, and could only wait anxiously. All three were waiting for that final blow, with an invisible tension making Lao Jia feel suffocated.

Meanwhile, in a small town under Space City, a young man arrived at a noodle shop. After sitting down, he ordered a bowl of noodles, two side dishes, and a bottle of wine.

"Madam, less noodles and more soup, please, and could you hurry if possible? I have some errands to run." After placing his order, the young man spoke to the shop owner.

"Alright, have a bite and drink first, I’ll cook your noodles right away." The shop owner responded and asked a clean, fair-skinned, and very pretty teenage girl beside her to serve the young man the prepared side dishes and beer.

The young girl noticed the young man constantly wearing a smile, and he looked charming when he smiled. She couldn’t help but glance at him a couple of times.

With this look, curiosity showed in the young girl’s eyes.

The young man’s clothes had many tears, as if slashed by a knife, with some parts exposing his skin and muscles underneath.

"How do my muscles look?" The young man asked with a smile, noticing the girl’s gaze fixed on him.

"Who’s looking at your muscles? I’m looking at the holes in your clothes." The girl blushed slightly, showing a bit of defiance, and replied pursing her lips.

This young man was Li Xiu. After using the Ultimate Light and the Immortal Chopsticks to injure Guan Jinghao’s eyes but failing to severely wound him, Li Xiu decisively left the scene. He didn’t stay there waiting for an opportunity as they expected.

He understood clearly that his next strike would surely face Guan Jinghao’s full counterattack, so he ran hundreds of miles to find such a small town, intending to fill his stomach first and let Guan Jinghao wait there, testing his patience.

Such a battle had exhausted Li Xiu significantly, and he was indeed quite hungry.

Li Xiu looked down at his clothes and asked with a smile, "Is there any clothing store in this town?"

"There used to be one, but it moved to the city a while ago. If you want to buy clothes, you’ll need to go to the city." The young girl, seeing Li Xiu’s good-natured attitude and his appealing smile, impulsively added, "You seem about the same height and build as my brother; he hardly visits home more than once a year, so his clothes just lie unused. If you don’t mind, I could lend you one of his old jackets; it’s better than what you’re wearing now."

"Thank you." Li Xiu, never willing to refuse others’ kindness, responded readily.

The girl was delighted by Li Xiu’s straightforwardness and quickly fetched a jacket from the back, handing it over to him.

"How much is it?" Li Xiu asked as he took the jacket.

"I said it’s a gift. It’s just a worn-out jacket, barely worth anything." The girl replied a bit irritatedly.

"Then I won’t be polite." Li Xiu looked around to find a place to change clothes.

The girl pouted and pointed to a nearby door, saying, "It’s not like anyone wants to watch you. That room’s empty, you can change there."

Li Xiu smiled and didn’t say a word, changing his clothes in the room and coming out.

"It’s quite fitting." The shop was empty of other customers, so the girl sat by a table watching Li Xiu.

"Your eye for this is good; it fits well." Li Xiu said as he sat down.

"Who’s a girl? I’m Dongli." The girl said somewhat displeased. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Dongli, as in ’Picking Chrysanthemums at the Eastern Fence’?" Li Xiu asked.

"Unlike you, it’s East as in east, and Li as in farewell." Dongli responded.

"Such a beautiful name, why explain it so melancholically?" Li Xiu said while munching on his food.

"Sorry for the misunderstanding, I named Dongli; I’m not very educated. Her father was a soldier; when she was born, a city to the east was attacked by a magic spirit, and her father was deployed to assist, but he never returned with news..." The shop owner brought a bowl of freshly cooked, steaming noodles to Li Xiu.

"I’m sorry." Li Xiu felt a bit uneasy hearing this.

"It’s alright; her father risked his life to protect us. Over these years, we’ve lived peacefully thanks to the sacrifice of others’ parents and siblings. We’re far better off than other places, thanks to Space City and with God’s protection..." The shop owner said.

Li Xiu listened thoughtfully, unsure of how to respond for a moment.

"Why are your clothes shredded like that? Did you encounter a magic spirit?" Dongli asked, blinking her eyes.

"No, it’s from a fight." Li Xiu replied.

"Fighting people, no ambition at all. Behold God, slaying magic spirits and safeguarding peace, that’s what a man should do." Dongli said, pouting.

"Dongli." The shop owner glared at her, apologizing to Li Xiu, "Young man, don’t take it to heart, Dongli just has a way with words, no malice intended."

"She’s right." Li Xiu noticed Dongli sticking her tongue out.

After that, Li Xiu took a sip of his wine and, seeing Dongli still looking at him, said, "Seems like you really admire God?"
