Chapter 45 (2/2)

After a brief silence, a silk-like voice leaked out of the girl's plump lips.

“What's your name, Mister?”

She asked that?! Xue Qilin laughed despite herself and drew the sharp eyes of one of the wealthy merchant's guards.

Xue Qilin wrinkled her nose, looked back at the other party, and mouthed silently: “What are you looking at?”

As expected, the other side showed a frightened expression and hurriedly looked away.

The imposing power hidden in the eyes of a Heaven Realm master isn't something that can be endured by people who aren't even in the Human Realm.

“Mhm, you can call me uncle.” Thinking of something, the wealthy merchant put on a dirty expression.

“Your last name is impressive.” The girl covered her mouth with her hand, seemingly rather astonished.

Hey, this girl is playing with him! Xue Qilin felt interested.

“Hara.s.sing a girl from a good family in public, don't the soldiers care?” The queue advanced forward, and Xue Qilin followed suit. At the same time, she glanced at the unmoved soldiers at the gate.

“A girl from a good family?” Xia Xue couldn't help laughing, “How does she look like a girl from a good family?”

“How doesn't she?”

“Is there something wrong with your eyes? Look at what she's holding.”

Following Xia Xue's words, Xue Qilin discovered that the water-blue girl was holding a pipa [3].

A performer? She guessed.

However, that pipa looks a little too long, looks more than one meter long.

“What a sharp-tongued young lady!” It took the wealthy merchant a bit of time before he finally realized that the girl was playing with him deliberately, and his face darkened.

“Thank you for your appreciation, Uncle.” The girl smiled slightly and even bowed solemnly.

“Humph, state your price.” The face of the rich merchant froze, and then he held up his hands and uttered overbearingly.

“I'm a performer, not a prost.i.tute.”

“I don't believe it, it's just a matter of price.” The man revealed a smile of aspiration, “I'm so poor that I only have money!”

“Uncle, your wit is hollow.”

“That's why I want you to help me fill it!” The wealthy merchant scrutinized the girl's body, and his eyes stayed on the other party's fair thigh for a few seconds.

“Do you belong to a brothel? I'll send someone over right away.”

“I already said that I'm not a prost.i.tute. Uncle, didn't you understand me the first time? Are you a stupid swine?” The girl still had a smile on her face, making people doubt that these vicious words came out of her mouth.

“I like her.” Xia Xue said with interest.

Do sharp tongues attract each other? Xue Qilin sn.i.g.g.e.red secretly.

“You …” The merchant sneered, “Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!”

The middle-aged man was dissatisfied with the verbal aggression.

He took to action, but didn't manage to grab the girl's wrist. Because the girl took a step back.

“Uncle, a gentleman uses reason, not force.” The girl frowned slightly, and her eyes had a look of disgust that couldn't be concealed.

“To h.e.l.l with gentleman. Do you think that I'm a gentleman?”

“No, you aren't.” The girl tilted her head adorably, “Because you're a pig, Uncle!”

“Okay, grab her! I'll bring her back to warm my bed!” Indignant, the merchant actually ordered his two guards to grad the girl and bring her back to warm his bed right in front of everyone.

Although many people noticed the show, but no one stepped in to stop it.

In ancient times, people are so cold and indifferent... Xue Qilin sighed.

“Although we don't want to bully a weak girl.”

“But we have to follow our Master's words.”

The two guards spoke one after the other, and then said in unison: “I hope you'll forgive us, girl.”

Then, the two men extended their hands and attacked the girl from the left and the right. But…

“Oh?” Xue Qilin's eyes widened slightly.

The girl took a step back and evaded the guards just like that, shattering their attempt at seizing her.

That's some kind of exquisite footwork.

Probably because the girl easily thwarted their attempt, the two guards revealed looks of astonished.

However, they reacted quickly and pounced at the girl again.

The girl walked and turned her body as if dancing, displaying a graceful bearing under the attacks of the two people. She didn't even drop the pipa.

Unable to touch her, the guards became more and more anxious, and gradually lost the rhythm, and were led by the girl by the nose.

At this moment, the girl suddenly dodged, and the two guards who have lost their target knocked into each other, cutting a sorry figure. Having made a fool of themselves in public, the faces of the two turned red.

Then, they unexpectedly unsheathed the broadswords at their waist.

Looking at the two people who became angry from shame, the girl frowned.

Xue Qilin also frowned.

Two big men attacking a girl is already contemptible, but they still drew their swords against a defenseless girl?

As the two raised their swords and hacked at the girl, Xue Qilin drew a circle aimed at the two guards in the air.

“Bind!” Following a whisper from Xue Qilin, the two people stopped mid movement at the same time, as if frozen.

Despite looking like the two men suddenly stopping mid motion took her by surprise, but the girl didn't hesitate. She tossed the pipa in her hands high into the air, and then shot forward, wrapped her hands around the guard's arms, and twisted hard.

Crack… Two clear sounds of joints dislocating spread far and wide. The girl unexpectedly incapacitated an arm of both men at the same time.

The faces of the guard distorted from the pain, but it wasn't over yet. The girl quickly executed a sweeping kick and knocked them away. After their posture collapsed, the two strong men fell on the ground.

Then… the girl stepped back.

The pipa dropped from the sky and fell precisely into her hands.

“Uncle, what do you think of this?” The girl deliberately deepened the smile on her face and stepped closer to the merchant.

But the merchant was so scared that he plopped down on the ground.

“You … don't hit me, my father is …”

He didn't finish speaking, because the girl stamped with her foot between his legs.

“You better watch out!” After she left this threat that sounded very old-fas.h.i.+oned in Xue Qilin's ears, the merchant scrambled up from the ground and ran away, not paying any attention to the two guards who were still on the ground.

“Good job!”

Cheers burst out in a flash, and the girl just nodded slightly.

Then, she glanced at Xue Qilin.

Blinking her eyes, Xue Qilin watched the girl return to the queue.

Did she notice that I helped her?
