Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

The plates were destroyed, and the remaining meat flew into the air before splattering across the floor like scattered rain drops.

Leo watched it with an open mouth. The food that he hadn’t finished yet was now on the ground, making him look like a fool who just got his food stolen.

Slowly, he looked to his left.

A young girl with a haughty expression stood beside him. Her face looked young and tender like she just reached her teenage years.

She had big brown eyes that were brimming with arrogance and pride which seemed to be common among kids her age, and her pink lips curved upwards to reveal a set of white teeth when she grinned at him.

Her robe was tight around her waist which accentuated her slender figure and revealed her cleavage as well as her curvy hips. If not for her baby fat still present on her cheeks, she would probably be considered an adult woman by most people’s standards.

People were once again wrong. Judging by her appearance wasn’t enough. This girl was a grown adult, being in her early twenties.

But that wasn’t what Leo saw. The symbol on her left chest and her blue robe indicated she came from Peng Clan, one of the 5 Great Murim Clans.

"You finally reacted? For a strange bum, you sure are deaf."

Leo’s eye twitched as he stared at this girl in disbelief, unable to comprehend why someone would randomly attack him out of nowhere like this. And right now he was mad at this young lady who ruined his meal.

Keeping his calm was one of his best traits that he practiced everyday. However, he also couldn’t deny his annoyance at being attacked by this little brat who wasn’t even old enough to be called an adult yet.

"What do you want?"

He spoke softly with a cold voice as he faced her head-on without backing off from this confrontation. The two large men behind him didn’t intimidate him at all.

"Are you deaf or are you just an idiot?"

The young lady clicked her tongue and scoffed at him as she looked down upon Leo’s appearance which was different from a normal martial artist.0

"I want you to pay for wasting my time and disrespecting me. I told you to move three times and you didn’t listen. Give me your left arm and I will forgive you."

He blinked once, twice before tilting his head slightly.

"Huh?" He asked incredulously, unable to believe what she just said to him.

Was this girl serious?

No. She had to be joking right now.

But then, he was in a Murim novel. He had seen, or rather read this kind of things many times.

Looking at the girl closely, he immediately recognized her identity.

"Peng Li-Yue?"

His words made her smirk even more as she crossed her arms beneath her bountiful breasts while letting out a mocking laugh.

"Oh? Do you know me? As expected. My beauty is known even by a deaf worm like you. You aren’t blind, after all/"

She glared at Leo with disdain and contempt written clearly across her features when she spoke again.

"But it doesn’t change the fact that you are acting deaf in front of me. Now that you irritate me, give me two arms instead of one. Only then will I forgive you."

The two men behind her laughed together at her statement. They must think her to be amusing, while Leo felt otherwise.

Leo scratched his head while frowning. ’This isn’t good. A fight is inevitable.’

Seeing him not moving, Peng Li-Yue scoffed again while narrowing her eyes as she raised her hand.

"My sword. I will give him respect by cutting his arms myself."

Her men brought forward a sword with intricate carving on its blade and handle. It was beautiful to look at and fit for a princess like her.

Peng Li-Yue grabbed it. A purple Qi flowed through her body as she held it aloft above her head. Being able to cover one’s body with Qi was a sign of a 3 Stars martial artist.

The rest of the people on the second floor became silent as they watched them with wide eyes, looking at them like an amusing show that they were watching for entertainment. Some shouted for the young girl to change her mind, but it was too late.

She swung the sword down hard and fast, aiming straight at his arm.

Before she could reach him though, Leo raised his left hand and blocked it with his palm without batting an eye. He caught the blade without flinching or flinching as it sliced his skin open while drawing blood from his hand. But it only stopped at that.

"You shouldn’t swing this dangerous stuff inside the building."

The whole Butterfly Pavilion froze as everyone watched him nonchalantly pluck the blade off from the young girl’s hand like taking candy from a child.

Leo smirked at the frozen Peng Li-Yue while casually twirling the sword in his hand, looking at it with interest as he spun it around.

"A decent blade. I will take it as compensation for destroying my meal."

He stood up and was about to walk away to avoid any trouble. But, the two guards behind her suddenly unsheathed their swords and attacked him.

"How dare you humiliate Young Miss!"

"Pay for the sin with your life!"

’Ugh... This is getting worse.’ He clicked his tongue at this inconvenience before reacting.

Using his left foot as a pivot, he swiftly stepped forward while dodging their blades with ease. With his right hand, he swung his newly acquired sword at them. The blade slashed across their faces, cutting the tip of their noses.

Both guards stumbled back, holding their bleeding noses while glaring at Leo furiously. They roared loudly before charging toward him again with renewed vigor and anger.

Leo was grinning as he waited for them to come closer before pivoting his left foot once more and spun his body around with his arm extended outward. Using his elbow, he smashed against their heads in quick succession.

Bang! Thud!

He knocked both men unconscious in one smooth motion before turning his attention towards Peng Li-Yue with a blank expression on his face.

"You want to come too, little Princess?" He asked sarcastically while pointing the sword toward her face, threatening her as he stared into her eyes coldly without blinking once.

"What are you looking at? Do you want a kiss? A hug maybe?" A smirk formed on his face as he teased her further. "Ah, maybe you want me to fuck you up here. Or perhaps I should fuck your hole on bed instead? I welcome any kind of invitation."
