Did Chapter 79 make you worried? Zuo Le

"nice one!"

Zuo Le had always wanted to buy some props and items.

Because of his enhanced abilities, both bombs and smoke grenades can achieve effects far exceeding those of ordinary people.

These kinds of props are controlled items in the academy, and he had never actively contacted the black market, which is why he didn't take any action.

I've actually managed to get my hands on a reusable smoke gadget.

Simply perfect!

Although there was an element of luck involved, he managed to acquire two very valuable items after only two weeks as the head of the White Egret smuggling operation.

That's the allure of power and connections!

"No wonder there are so many corrupt officials!"

"Zuo Le, what's on the other side of the sea?"

Tuqi suddenly made a sound, startling Zuo Le, who was examining the goods, so much that he wet himself.

"Of course, it's freedom!"

Zuo Le subtly made a joke, knowing that Tu Qi wouldn't understand it anyway.

But Tuqi frowned upon hearing this, looking at him with an expression that Zuo Le had never seen before.

This reaction puzzled Zuo Le slightly, because he had almost never seen Tu Qi show such an expression.

She seems to be...

A little angry?

Not quite accurate, more like sadness.

Tu Qi glanced at the old gate, then at Zuo Le.

"He's here."

"Huh?" Zuo Le glanced at the old sluice gate in confusion, but saw no one there.

Tu Qi didn't explain further and turned to walk towards the Egret Bar.

Not long after she left, the small boat from the mushroom forest appeared as promised, and on board was the 'Mr. You' that Zuo Le had met before, the one Xu Jing had mentioned.

He carried a greatsword on his back, stepped off the small boat, and approached Zuo Le, nodding politely.

Zuo Le nodded in response.

Upon closer contact, he had a strange feeling. Although they were both martial artists, the Mr. You in front of him had a completely different temperament from Scarface.

Scarface had a distinctly rough and unruly air about him.

Even without fighting him, you could tell he was a gangster.

But the person in front of me was very reserved.

If it weren't for the greatsword on his back and the strength he displayed when lifting the cargo box, Zuo Le wouldn't even be sure that this person was a superhuman.

"Thanks." Before leaving, Mr. You thanked Zuo Le.

"You're welcome, it's all my pleasure."

Zuo Le responded politely in return, while his curiosity about the Mushroom Forest grew even stronger.

The legendary lawless zone is home to unruly individuals who are not bound by the Holy Light.

Are the martial artists inside really that reserved and polite?

After watching the other boat leave, Zuo Le returned to the Egret Bar.

As he expected, Tu Qi was not in the back room. Looking at the empty wine cup, Zuo Le felt a little helpless.

He recalled Tu Qi's gaze just now, and a strange sense of unease, which he didn't want to admit, welled up inside him:

"He not only drinks, but he also runs around recklessly."

After walking through the back corridor, Zuo Le found the bartender, Fei, at the bar:

"Hey Fatty, where's that girl who came with me?"

"Brother Zuo, did you two have a fight?"

"Just tell me where she went."

"She just went out and turned right. You should go check on her quickly. There are a lot of prostitutes there. Hope nothing bad happens."

Zuo Le frowned upon hearing this. Although with Tu Qi's strength, it was practically impossible for her to get into trouble in the dock area.

But her wandering around still gave Zuo Le a headache.

Fighting is fine, but I'm afraid of running into some drunk idiots and getting provoked by them.

This is all too common in the dock area, especially among pretty girls...

"Okay, I see."

He strode out the door and headed towards the alleyway to the right of the egret.

There were quite a few women standing here, all heavily made up, and some of them were already negotiating prices with the men in front of them.

Zuo Le glanced around but didn't see Tu Qi.

Where did it go?

Zuo Le quickly crossed the alleyway on the right.

Tuqi, however, was blocked in the alley on the left, at the very back of the alley.

Three women stood in front of her.

The same full-sleeve tattoos, the same heavy makeup, the same smoking...

The woman in the lead nudged Tu Qi's arm, spitting out her yellow teeth:

"You're so pretty, why are you here? You're really thinking of doing something drastic, sis!"

"Don't ask her those questions. Now that you're here, you have to pay us the mountain fee, right? Girl, I'll protect you from now on. Here's some money for you."

Tuqi looked at the woman who had spoken on the right, her face expressionless:

"how much is it?"

"Give me how much you have!"

Tu Qi reached into his pocket and actually pulled out 200 yuan, which he handed to the streetwalker on his right.

Seeing that Tuqi had actually given money, the other two women also stepped forward to ask for their money back:

"What about mine?"

Tu Qi didn't say anything and reached into her pocket again, but the woman in the lead saw this and a hint of greed appeared in her eyes.

She actually reached out and grabbed Tuqi's wallet, then laughed and took a few steps back.

While stuffing the money into his pocket, he shoved the other prostitutes next to him who wanted to share the money.

Tuqi glanced at her old wallet, which she had carelessly tossed on the ground after they snatched it from her, and said softly:

"The parliament has built new factories and farms, and created many jobs. Why are you doing this?"

Tuqi's question was somewhat ridiculous, at least that's what the leading woman thought.

She took a drag of her cigarette and arrogantly tapped Tuqi's chest:

"Is the young lady here to experience the hardships of life again? What, are you going to criticize us lowly peddlers?"

Tu Qi shook her head, her tone still calm:

"I didn't mean anything by this, I just don't understand."

The other two, having finished dividing the money, walked over with cigarettes in their mouths and joined the conversation:

"What's so hard to understand? Have you ever worked? Don't you think it's suffocating to leave for work at 7:00 and come back when it's already dark?"

"Working like crazy for just over two thousand yuan a month, what's the point? It's better to just spread your legs and, if you're lucky, make a thousand in one night."

"Feel sorry."

Tuqi had never worked before, so after a moment of silence, she could only manage to utter this one sentence.

"Sorry? Don't fucking talk nonsense. Do you know that people working 12-hour shifts in the factory can't even be called human?"

"I've worked before, I used to work night shifts every day. I felt like I wasn't earning money, I was just waiting to die. Do you even know what it means to be waiting to die?"

Tuqi did not refute the woman's roar.

I didn't bring up topics like dignity or independence with them.

She simply nodded, maintaining her usual smile, walked past the three of them, silently picked up her wallet from the ground, and prepared to leave.

But there were more than just a few people in the alley.

The conversation between Tuqi and the three women was also observed by some people with ulterior motives.

A golden retriever blocked Tuqi's path and tossed its hair:

"Little sister, what a coincidence, we have the same hair color. Want to hang out? I'll buy you a drink."

As the golden retriever spoke, the people around him chuckled, their laughter laced with blatant lust.

Tu Qi glanced at the people around her and shook her head:

I'm in a bad mood today.

"Let us guys take you out for some fun tonight, we guarantee you'll be in heaven."

Tuqi put her old wallet back in her pocket and sighed softly.

"Okay, let's have some fun then."

hum!

Right Alley.

Zuo Le suddenly became alert. Although he lacked the ability to perceive things, he sensed a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy.

Very strong!

They quickly ran towards the direction of the energy fluctuations.

Tu Qi walked out of the alley with her eyes closed and her right hand holding her left wrist, while several terrified streetwalkers ran out from behind her.

Noticing Zuo Le's presence, Tu Qi opened her eyes with a smile, her expression returning to its gentle and bright state.

Under normal circumstances, Zuo Le would definitely give a stern scolding to the girls who were running around in the dock area.

If she hadn't been covered in blood...

"Tuqi, are you hurt?"

"Did I make you worry, Zuo Le?"

Chapter 80 I can't exactly kill you, can I?

Tu Qi still had that smiling face, but behind her, at the alley entrance, patches of blood were seeping out.

The extent and fluidity of the bloodstains on the ground strongly suggest that it could not have been from just one person.

It even stained Tuqi's white shoes red.

No one knows exactly what happened in that dark alley.

I didn't hear any screams...

"Tuqi, are you alright?" Zuo Le stepped forward and pointed to the bloodstains on Tuqi's body.

"It's all someone else's blood. I was a little tired, so I didn't dodge. I myself was not injured."

Tu Qi shook her head, smiling as she responded, and took out something that looked like a cell phone.

Then, in front of Zuo Le, he quickly dialed a number:
