Romance of Dragons and Snakes Chapter 142

He had been in this courtyard for three days now. Each of the three daily meals had been exquisite, and allowed for Wang Chao to shadow box and exercise to his heart’s content, making him feel quite at ease with himself.

But in these three days, there had been no noise at all. This silence had caused Wang Chao to feel suspicious.

Since there had been no contact, Wang Chao had absolutely no idea what was happening outside the courtyard.

“I’ve just have to wait then.” Wang Chao shook his head to clear his mind of his thoughts.

Extending his arms, Wang Chao spread out his fingers before doing the same with his feet and toes. Imagining himself clinging to the ground, Wang Chao took in a deep breath like a snake swallowing the egg of a chicken into its body for food. In a flash the air arrived at his stomach before sinking down to his abdomen and wiggling through the intestines with a rumbling sound.

Wang Chao allowed for the air to settle down his dantian before lifting his anus and pressed both hands to his abdomen. Massaging it for a moment, he brought the air back up his chest before letting it out. After that, he felt that this action was quite repulsive.

“The Fishing Toad Jin from the Golden Toad Sect of Wudang?”

As Wang Chao’s eyes were closed and rubbed at his throat, his ears twitched in response to hear a new voice. Turning, he saw a young man with a word in hand at the gates where he had let out an astonished inquiry.

“Who are you?” Wang Chao immediately began to look at this young man with narrowed eyes as he sized him up. It was at this moment that the two guards at the gate had stood to attention.

When Wang Chao saw the expression in both guards’ eyes, he immediately knew that they recognized this young man.

“I am inheritor of the Nine Palace Swords of Wudang.” This young man was Jiang Hai. Reporting his sect, he stood at the gates, but he did not enter.

At the same time, one of the guards quickly scrambled on over to Wang Chao’s side, “Should he be allowed in?”

“Aren’t you supposed to be guarding me? Why bother asking me this?” Wang Chao asked.

“Our orders were to ensure your safety. But above all else, to ensure that you do not leave the courtyard. In the case someone comes to pay a visit, then we were told to seek your opinion.” The guard spoke. “The higher ups did not forbid you from communicating with people. There is a phone within the house; even if you call a large group of people to come over, that is no problem.”

“Do you recognize this man?” Wang Chao felt that this Shuanggui of his was far too lenient.

“Of course. He is named Jiang Hai, an expert as famous as Duan Guochao.” The guard spoke, “He has some influence.”

“I see.” Wang Chao nodded his head. Then, to Jiang Hai, “Please, come in.”

Jiang Hai walked past the gates before standing still to look at Wang Chao, “Are you from one of the sects of Wudang?”

“I am not.” Wang Chao shook his head. Seeing the young man clutch at his sword, Wang Chao had decided to forego any additional talk and asked bluntly, “Have you come to exchange fists with me? The arm and feet are without mercy, but the sword and sabre are without eyes. What if there is an accident? What will be done?”

Jiang Hai was stunned. He didn’t think that Wang Chao would be that blunt to go straight to the point. He had originally thought there would be some greetings first.
