103: Chapter 103 Brother Qiang 103: Chapter 103 Brother Qiang With the one-yuan entrance fee per person, Sun Jinzhong took out two yuan and slapped it on the table in front of the dance hall owner at the entrance.
“Brother Zhong, inside the dance hall today, there have been a lot of girls coming in…”
The owner, a middle-aged man in his forties, collected the money with a beaming smile and greeted Sun Jinzhong.
Happy Dance Hall had only been open for a month or two.
Usually, Sun Jinzhong must have been loitering around here quite a bit, seeing as even the dance hall owner could recognize him at a glance.
“Here, have a smoke, Brother Zhong…”
No sooner had he stepped inside than quite a few people who saw Sun Jinzhong came over to greet him.
Of course, among those who came over to greet him, there were just a few girls; the majority were young men.
This dance was a slow waltz, and the music was rather gentle.
After shooting the breeze with some acquaintances for a bit, Sun Jinzhong took a young girl with a bob cut by the hand and stepped onto the dance floor.
As for Chen Hai, he found a place to sit down in a corner of the dance hall.
To set the mood inside the dance hall, halfway through the slow dance, they particularly turned off the lights.
Although he was reluctant to enter smog-filled places like the dance hall, once he actually did, Chen Hai, who was stepping into such a place for the first time, also felt a bit of novelty.
His eyes glanced aimlessly toward the dance floor.
Suddenly, the lights turned off, and after a moment’s adjustment to this dark environment, he actually saw several couples dancing on the floor getting closer together until their mouths were touching.
Unfortunately, with the darkness, his vision wasn’t clear, and Chen Hai didn’t know if his cousin Sun Jinzhong was among those few young men and women he saw.
“No wonder this guy has been insisting on coming here to play…”
It dawned upon him, and Chen Hai muttered to himself.
The atmosphere inside the dance hall certainly held great appeal for young people like Sun Jinzhong.
However, Chen Hai merely felt a bit of novelty; he did not have the desire to personally step into the fray and try it out.
After his eyes wandered aimlessly for a while and the novelty had passed, he gazed at his nose and his nose watched his heart, and he even fell into tranquility.
“My abilities were all self-taught messily, the Nameless Ancient Book from Limp Zhang had only some basic cultivation methods, but no transmission of skills.”
“My Geomancy Inspection Skill and Divination Skill were both found on that broken piece of Turtle Shell I felt out from the water pond!”
“These two skills are indeed powerful, but every time I use them, they leave me weakened, such skills, I dare not use them lightly.”
“The reason I can slay demons and eradicate evil is not due to the skills, but because of the Undying Characteristic and the ability to devour that I gained when visualizing that terrifying existence!”
With nothing better to do, Chen Hai found quiet in the chaos and even began to reflect on himself.
In this era where Taoist Skills are not prominent, just in terms of realms, he is actually not too bad to be in the Day Tour Realm.
But the means he can employ are really pitifully few!
Not to mention others, just take Limp Zhang, for example.
When it comes to realms, he is at most Night Tour, definitely not yet stepped into the Day Tour Realm.
However, the variety of techniques and secret methods he holds are undeniably streets ahead of Chen Hai.
Of course, that was only to speak of the diversity of methods, and didn’t mean Limp Zhang’s strength would definitely be stronger than Chen Hai’s.
Strictly speaking, the initial stages of entering Taoist skill, whether it be Day Tour or Night Tour, the cases were the same, facing a tough person, they could still be brought down by a single gunshot.
Some time ago, when facing the Liu family’s brothers, Chen Hai had already felt his inadequacy in the art of Taoist skill.
If it weren’t for the partial Geomancy and Divination Skill brought by the broken Turtle Shell, relying solely on the little Taoist skill he figured out on his own, he wouldn’t have stood a chance against the Liu brothers.
But he couldn’t possibly deal with every little incident by ruining someone’s Feng Shui or desecrating their ancestors’ graves!
“My Geomancy and Divination Skill, if not used to their full extent, each use simply activating a small portion of the patterns on the Turtle Shell, I wonder if it’s possible?”
“If this approach is feasible, maybe, after I use these two skills, the slight effects they have on my body could be recovered from after resting for about ten minutes.”
“In that case, I could often make use of my Geomancy and Divination Skill…” Follow current novᴇls on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝
This thought appeared in Chen Hai’s mind.
His brain whirring rapidly, he began to ponder the feasibility of his idea.
“Hey there, are you alone?”
“Do you know how to dance the rumba, or shall we hit the dance floor together?”
A crisp female voice reached Chen Hai’s ears, snapping him out of his thoughts.
At first, he thought he might have encountered some good luck with the ladies.
But when he opened his eyes and saw that the woman in front of him was at least fifty years old and had a flatbread face, he felt a chill in his heart.
“Big sister, I can’t dance.
Last time, the sister I danced with at the dance hall had her foot swollen by me.”
“After using a bottle of safflower oil, it didn’t get better.
In the end, she had to spend a few days in the hospital before she could barely walk normally again…”
He scooted back a bit and hurriedly made up an excuse to politely decline.
“If you don’t want to dance with big sister, just say so.
Stop making excuses and beating around the bush…”
With a displeased look and a roll of her eyes, the flatbread-faced auntie glanced around and upon seeing a handsome guy sitting alone not far away, she waddled her way towards him swiftly.
Seeing the auntie shift her attention to someone else, Chen Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Cousin, you’re quite the charmer, huh?
Peach Blossom Sister took a fancy to you at first sight…”
Sun Jinzhong had snuck up beside Chen Hai at some point, covering his mouth and snickering incessantly.
“Brother Zhong, when are we heading back?”
“While you’re getting all cozy with the ladies, I’m suffering here every minute sitting down.”
Chen Hai shot him a look and inquired.
Let’s enjoy a bit more, and anyway, the place closes at nine-thirty at the latest!”
Saying this, he pointed to a fair-skinned, not too tall, and slightly chubby young man beside him.
He introduced, “This is my childhood friend, Brother Qiang.
He scalps train tickets in Yuedong, just came back a few days ago.”
“He’s been pestering me to meet you ever since he found out you’d be at the dance hall!”
“Brother Qiang is a good guy, I had no choice but to bring him over here because he wouldn’t stop bugging me…”
Chen Hai’s cousin must have been bragging to his friends, which was why this situation had unfolded.
Seemingly worried Chen Hai would blame him for introducing Brother Qiang, he left Qiang there and vanished into the dance floor without a trace.
