Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 10 - Those who smelt copper should all be punished!

Stepping out of the bookstore, Qian Renxue breathed a long sigh of relief at the blue sky. She slowly walked along the fairly smooth stone path toward the "Fulai Inn," which was located in the bustling city center.

She could hear Qian Lingyun's loud shouts from afar. Worried that the silly girl would suffer because she lacked practical experience, Qian Renxue used her petite figure to weave through the crowd and finally arrived at the inn's lobby just before Qian Lingyun was about to make her move.

She pulled Qian Lingyun aside with practiced ease, then strode to the center of the hall and cleared her throat…

"Gentlemen, my younger sister is used to being willful and capricious. If she has offended you in any way, I apologize in advance."

Qian Renxue first politely cupped her hands in greeting, then looked around at everyone present and said coldly:

"But similarly, if you think my sister is young and ignorant and therefore wantonly bully her, then this matter will naturally not be so easy to resolve."

"Oh, there's another little beauty here!"

Just then, a large, fat man with a face full of scars walked straight out from the crowd. He was staring at Qian Renxue and Qian Lingyun with his malicious little eyes.

He rubbed his hands together and scanned the two girls up and down, then chuckled in a shrill voice, "Little girl, you don't seem to be from around here! It's dangerous without an adult around! Why don't you come to my place? My house is huge, the bed is huge, and there's lots of good food and fun things to do. I'm sure you'll have a very comfortable time, hehehe!"

"My God, it's one thing to bully men and women all the time, but now they're even going after such young girls! They're absolute beasts!"

"Exactly! I don't know how many girls he's ruined. I really don't know how there can be such a scoundrel in the world!"

A commotion arose in the crowd, and the faint sounds of several men speaking out against the injustice could be heard.

Upon hearing this, the sleazy middle-aged man wiggled his fat body, put his hands on his hips, and mocked in a soft voice:

"Oh, I'd like to see which fool dares to speak ill of me!"

"Is that you?!"

The lewd man grabbed an innocent bystander by the collar and roared viciously, spitting saliva from his large tongue and yellow teeth onto the innocent bystander's face.

The innocent bystander had never seen anything like this before. Wiping the foul-smelling saliva from his face with his sleeve, he shook his head repeatedly, saying, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, Young Master Li, it wasn't me, it really wasn't me."

Seeing that the first person in the crowd was so sensible, the sleazy man loosened his collar and then strode past several other men he didn't like with an arrogant gait, humiliating them all in a show of arrogance.

Some of the burly men couldn't swallow their anger and clenched their fists, wanting to teach this bullying bastard a lesson. However, they were immediately pinned to the ground and brutally beaten by the two Soul Master guards beside the lewd man until they were more angry than they were inhaling.

"I've inquired. His name is Li Bai, the second young master of the Li family in the City Lord's Mansion. He's a Great Soul Master, and his two guards are also just Great Soul Masters. His father, the City Lord, is a Soul Grandmaster," Qian Lingyun whispered in Qian Renxue's ear, urging her on.

"I think we can beat him up."

"Did he touch you inappropriately?" Qian Renxue asked, her lips slightly parted as she frowned.

"Tch, with his weak kidneys, he dared to lay a hand on me. A piece of trash like him can't even touch the hem of my clothes," Qian Lingyun blurted out a bold self-description without thinking, before quickly changing it back, which made Qian Renxue let out a soft, melodious laugh.

Realizing there were two pretty young women present, the lecherous man bent down, stepped forward, and grinned wickedly, "Little girls, have you made up your minds? Want to come with me?"

"..." Qian Lingyun glanced at Qian Renxue, then smiled innocently and said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Okay, okay, how about we have them lead the way?"

As she spoke, Qian Lingyun pointed at the two lackeys of the lewd man and said with a smile.

"Second Young Master, this..." The two guards keenly sensed something was amiss, but Li Bai, whose mind was already conjuring up certain inappropriate images of the two adorable little girls before him, couldn't care less. He shooed them away like flies:

"Go away, stop talking nonsense! I'm the young master, you're the young master! Hurry up and lead the way."

"...Yes." The two guards sighed, exchanged a glance, and walked out of the Fulai Inn first.

Just as Li Bai was about to urge the two girls to come with him, he saw a small fist gradually growing larger in his lecherous little eyes.

"You old pervert, lolicon, take this punch!" Qian Lingyun raised her hand and threw a punch directly at the lolicon's face. Qian Renxue, who had been waiting for a long time, also rushed up and kicked the lewd man's fat face.

Immediately, the surrounding onlookers cheered and spontaneously gathered together to shield Qian Renxue and her companions from the two belatedly aware guards.

"Alright, stop fighting!" Qian Renxue glanced at the inn's entrance and noticed that the two guards were pushing through the surging crowd. They would be rushing in soon. She shouted at Qian Lingyun, who was still kicking and thrashing about, "Know when to stop, retreat!"

"Oh, I see!" Qian Lingyun stopped what she was doing, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and stomped her leg heavily on that wicked part.

A heart-wrenching wail instantly echoed throughout the inn. The surrounding crowd gasped at the sight of the mangled remains, praising Qian Lingyun for ridding the people of a scourge.

With the help of the crowd, Qian Renxue and her companion, thanks to their small stature and the assistance of righteous individuals, easily slipped away through the back door of the inn, taking advantage of the dense crowd.

When the two wronged guards arrived at their young master's side, they were completely dumbfounded. Their young master no longer even had the strength to groan.

After looking around, they found that the culprit had disappeared, so they had no choice but to give up and each of them carried their 300-pound young master to find a doctor.

On the street, Qian Renxue was being pulled by the wrist by Qian Lingyun as they ran. The passersby who were finishing their work looked at the two adorable little girls and smiled with admiration.

"I wonder which family is so lucky to have such a beautiful daughter..." The sugar figurine maker, who was about to finish work and go home for dinner, looked at the two girls in front of his stall thoughtfully, as if he was thinking of his wife and children at home.

"Boss, I'll buy all of these last few sugar figurines! How much?"

Qian Lingyun, who couldn't resist sweets, walked excitedly to the sugar figurine shop, pointed to the remaining sugar figurines, and asked with a smile.

"Why would I need money? I'm done working anyway. If you like them, I'll give you two to eat!" The honest craftsman revealed his white teeth, took two large sugar figurines from his stall and handed them to Qian Lingyun, then picked up his carrying pole and slowly walked towards his home.

"..." Qian Lingyun handed the sugar figurine in her hand to Qian Renxue and tossed out a gold soul coin with a flick of her finger.

Watching the gold soul coin trace a golden arc under the setting sun before finally landing steadily in the sugar figurine maker's bamboo basket, Qian Lingyun took her sugar figurine from Qian Renxue's hand and began to eat it without a care in the world.
