When Xiaosuisui said this, Li Yu burst into hearty laughter. "You’re quite an interesting little tyke! I don’t care who your uncle is or where he might be. Now, listen closely: if you know what’s good for you, scram immediately, or I won’t be so polite!"
With a wave of his hand, the entire pharmacy was instantly surrounded by the servants Li Yu had brought.
Xiaosuisui blinked her large eyes. "What’s ’scram’? Do you have eggs to scramble?"
Gazing at her innocent, blinking eyes, Li Yu found himself instinctively shaking his head. "I don’t have eggs to scramble... Hey! You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you, you little brat? Looks like today, I’ll have to teach you a lesson, so you’ll know Lord Ma Wang has three eyes!"
Li Yu’s anger flared. "Get her! Seize that little wretch and sell her to the Brothel! Today, I’ll make her understand the price of offending my Li Family!"
The moment Li Yu gave the order, the men surrounding Xiaosuisui and Zhao Fei began to move.
Zhao Fei was so terrified his legs wouldn’t stop shaking. "Benefactor, be careful!" he cried, positioning himself in front of her. "I’ll protect you. Look for a chance to run, understand?" He had heard Li Yu’s threat to sell his Benefactor to the Brothel, and raw fear spurred him to shield her.
Xiaosuisui might be young, but she could clearly sense who meant her well and who wished her harm. She could feel Zhao Fei’s genuine concern.
She tugged at Zhao Fei’s sleeve and said reassuringly, "It’s okay! They can’t hit me."
Hearing his Benefactor’s confident words, Zhao Fei instinctively believed her. However, this was merely a fleeting instinct. After a few breaths, his mind raced with worries.
Her Benefactor had indeed shown impressive fighting skills at the pharmacy entrance, but she had only fought a few pharmacy assistants then. Now, they were surrounded by three or four times as many men! As the saying goes, "Two fists are no match for four hands." His Benefactor was so small; how could she possibly escape unscathed?
"There are too many of them; you’ll be at a disadvantage!" Zhao Fei blurted out, his fear overriding his initial trust.
Xiaosuisui simply shook her head. "They can’t hit me either." Her gaze was resolute. With that, she gently pushed Zhao Fei aside. "Stay further away from me," she advised kindly.
Once again, Zhao Fei instinctively obeyed.
Xiaosuisui then readied herself for action.
At Li Yu’s signal, the Li family’s servants charged. Their target wasn’t the little girl, but Zhao Fei. As they rushed towards him, Xiaosuisui instinctively moved to intercept. Her small hand shot out, grabbed one of the servant’s clothes, pulled, and then shoved him forward. The man was sent flying, crashing into the main gate of the Li Pharmacy.
CRASH! The heavy main gate of the Li Pharmacy collapsed.
Everyone stared, aghast. This toddler possessed such incredible strength!
The thought had barely formed in their minds when, THUD! THUD! THUD! A series of sounds echoed. All the Li family’s servants were sent sprawling, piling up one on top of another at the entrance of the Li Pharmacy!
Zhao Fei watched, completely dumbfounded.
The onlookers outside were even more incredulous; for a long moment, they couldn’t process what they had just witnessed. "This... is this something a mere toddler can do?" someone in the crowd finally stammered.
Among them stood an elderly man with white hair, flanked by several young men dressed as guards.
"Heavens! This is truly incredible," one of the guards exclaimed, turning to the old man. "Your Highness, should we investigate this little girl’s background?"
The old man, evidently a Prince, nodded. "Investigate! Find out whose child this is!"
The guards beside him acknowledged the order, their gazes fixed intently on Xiaosuisui’s face.
Inside the pharmacy, Xiaosuisui, having dealt with all the servants, dusted off her small hands. She then turned to Li Yu, glaring and shaking her little fist at him fiercely.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Li Yu stammered, his face pale. "Heroine, spare me! Have mercy!"
