Rebirth Of Chen An

Chapter 156: Let's Go Get the Tank!

Translator: Flying Lines

While those who scattered in fear shouted “demons”, the girl who was saved kept addressing Ding Sheng as “god”.

Ding Sheng assisted the girl in getting up and said: “I’m neither a demon nor a god. So, tell me Miss, who are those people and what is this place?”

“I, I am not a Miss.” The girl waved her hands in a flurry and explained in earnest: “Savior, I’m only the maid.”

The maid? Ding Sheng scratched his head, totally baffled. Had they somehow landed in a remote and isolated place somewhere in China? But it couldn’t be; that was really a long distance from the Middle East.

The conversation between Ding Sheng and the girl was getting nowhere. Seeing this, Chen An walked over in big strides and said to the girl: “We are actually demi-gods, cultivating our divine powers in the mountain. We happened to see you in distress and thus offered our help. Now I’m going to ask you some questions; you need to answer them truthfully, Okay?”

What demi-gods? Ding Sheng opened his mouth to clarify, only to get a pinch in his middle from Chen An.

In case the burly guys came back, Chen An and Ding Sheng brought the bruised girl back to the plane. Before stepping into it, the girl kowtowed several times: if these two were demi-gods, the giant thing that looked like a bird must be their divine beast.

The girl was initially afraid that she wouldn’t be able to come out if she went into the bird. But on second thought, why would her savior want to hurt her? So she was emboldened and went in, where she was amazed by the space and extraordinary stuff she saw, and thus became totally convinced that the two were demi-gods.

When Chen An asked his questions, the girl gave answers.

It turned out that this was not the modern world they lived in. There was no China, or Europe or America, and no modern technology, either.

From the girl’s description, it sounded like ancient China; yet the facts didn’t match any known dynasty in Chinese history.

The emperor now ruling this land was incompetent, indulging his baser instincts in private life while appointing people he favored in public. The whole court was infested with corrupted ministers and vile officials. Everywhere the powerful consorted with the wealthy, leaving ordinary people to suffer the consequences.

On the outside, the country was under the siege of another powerful nation from the south; on the inside, there were rebel armies who wanted the emperor deposed. Anyway, the whole kingdom was in a state of utter chaos.

Among the rebel armies, there were two most outstanding. One was led by the renowned ‘General Kill-All’, and the other led by ‘Prince Apathy’, who had a reputation of being skilled in both liberal and martial arts.

The girl’s name was Hehua (lotus), and she was a maid serving in a rich merchant’s family in the nearby town.

Last month, there was rumor that General Kill-All was coming to the town. The local officials who were in the habit of fleecing the people feared that the General might kill them too, so they conspired with the bandits and slaughtered the rich merchant’s family in the night.

The girl slipped out from the back door, and chased by the bandits, she fled into the mountain. She would have been permanently silenced too if Ding Sheng hadn’t intervened.

Soothing her after her rough night until she finally fell asleep, Chen An and Ding Sheng looked blankly into each other’s face.

“Do you think she was telling the truth?” Ding Sheng still could not bring himself to believe what he just heard. No, strike that; he couldn’t believe what he heard since he got on the plane.
