Chapter 3 - A Wary Saggy Old Woman

Huangdi Long finally reached the bottom of the mountain and out of the forest. It was late at night, when he made it. His hair was a mess and covered his handsome face and his body was dirty and smelled. His stomach was growling along the path down the mountain when he was descending.

With a tired voice Huangdi Long said: "Being a mortal is very tiresome. it has been a very long time probably centuries, when I last experienced the feeling of hunger and fatigue. I really owe the old man for tutoring the youngster for the basic, advanced and theoretical knowledge of this world, otherwise I would have been a clueless country bumpkin living in Earth. He has also trained and helped shape the youngsters body to be fit and muscular, otherwise I would not have had enough stamina to descend the mountain. it's a real shame, that the youngster was living in this isolated mountain forest and did not experience the world outside in the past 10 years. This world is indeed very beautiful. The city in front have night lamps lighting up, which makes the city feel alive. Yes, alive. I have been dead once and I have been through a horrendous life in my past life. I want to experience the pleasure of being a mortal for the time being as I never had a single day to rest as there's probably no immortals in this world to pursue me, so I can relax and enjoy the present life. I will eventually one day exterminate those who annihilated my entire family, once I have sufficient strength in the future."

The city in front of Huangdi Long was called Starbright City and he was currently in the country China.

From far apart. Huangdi Long saw an old woman around 60 years old. She was short around 160cm and her hair was white and messy. Her boobs were saggy, but big. Her stomach had a small bulge of belly fat. She had difficulty pushing a wornout wooden cart with many different type of fruits on it. He ran to the old woman and said:

"Old woman, let me give you a hand to help you push the wooden cart. I saw you from afar and ran here to give you a helping hand." Huangdi Long then extended his hands towards the wooden cart, but unexpectedly the old woman slapped his hands away and looked at him and then said:

"Young man. You are young and wants to bully an old woman like me? Don't think, I am stupid and do not know what you're after. I may be old, but my brain still works. From your wrecked attire and young voice. And also the sound of your roaring stomach, that even with my impaired hearings I can hear the loud voice from it. I can tell, that you're a beggar and jobless. You want to rob my wooden cart and run away with my fruits? Go get a job, young man and do not go rob people else karma will strike you." She then murmured: Youngsters nowadays, they only know how to play games and bully old folk and doesn't contribute to the society. She then continued to push the wooden cart.

Huangdi Long stopped the old woman and took hold of the wooden cart and then said "Old woman, I only want to help you. I do not deem myself as a virtuous man, but I do have my own principles. I won't rob you, I only want to help you as I saw you having trouble pushing the wooden cart."

The old woman tried to shake Huangdi Long's hands of the wooden cart, but to no avail. He had a tight grip on it. The old woman then suddenly screamed and said: "Help me, I am being robbed! Somebody help me, I am being robbed!"

Huangdi Long was stunned and shocked of the loud scream. People gathered around them, while holding their noses due to the smell emitting from Huangdi Long. Two men in uniform with a badge on their chest wore a star-shaped symbol and initials in the middle of the star was 5 letters SBCPD heard the commotion and hurried ran to the gathered place. Their noses flicked for a moment and said: "Old woman, you can stop the scream now. What's happening here? Describe clearly what happened here."

The old woman then took a long breath and explained what had happened to the two police officers. After they heard what the old woman said and took statements of the gathered people. They then looked at Huangdi Long and said: "You! We need you to come with us to the police station to take your statement."

Huangdi Long thought inside his mind: "Why did this old woman has to be so paranoid. I did not have any intention to rob her. I was just trying to help her, but looking back I do indeed smell bad and look suspicious, so I can not blame her. Damn, those two men in uniform are probably the law enforcers of this mortal world from my present memories. They want to take me to their lair to be a prisoner. There's many witnesses here and no one will believe me once I go to their lair. I need to run away. I did not want to stir up troublesome matters living as a mortal, but only wanted to be low-key."

Huangdi Long pushed the nearby gathered people away and ran away. The two policemen was stunned for a split second, but soon chased after him. They chased for a while and one of the policemen said: "Shit, he can run so fast, we are getting farther and farther away from him and we are losing sight of him soon." The two policemen were panting and perspiring heavily.

Huangdi Long ran in the direction of a remote dark narrow alley. He saw a dumpster and quickly jumped into it and covered himself with big black bags of trashes. He did not mind hiding in the dumpster as he was already a smelly young man. The two policemen had lost sight of him and gave up. After waiting for quite some time, Huangdi Long did not hear any noises outside and figured that he had successfully made an escape and heaved a sigh of relief.
