A group of people began to gear up.
Someone shouted at Shen He, "Old geezer, don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit."
"Oh—how did I not notice before, there’s a little beauty behind you!"
With Zhou Si’s words, the crowd finally noticed Shen Qinglan, silently standing behind the two.
Seeing them shift their attention to Shen Qinglan, Shen He and Shen Qingzhu immediately grew anxious.
Shen He said, "All the prey is yours, we’ll leave now."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhu was about to put down the prey in his hands, when Zhou Si leered and said, "Fine, you guys can go, but the little beauty stays."
Shen Qingzhu was furious, but with so many people around, he couldn’t fight them, and besides being anxious, he didn’t know what to do.
"The little beauty is quite calm, huh!"
Zhou Si stepped forward, glanced up and down at Shen Qinglan, and reached out to pinch Shen Qinglan’s chin, only to have it slapped away by Shen Qingzhu.
"Hey—you must have a death wish!"
Zhou Si, in a rage, swung a fist to hit Shen Qingzhu, only to have it intercepted by the silent Shen Qinglan.
The quiet voice said, "Just the right mountain for disposing of bodies."
At her words, everyone was initially stunned, followed by roaring laughter.
Of course, excluding Zhou Si, whose wrist was being held.
His expression increasingly twisted, his eyes bulging out of his head.
With a "crack," Zhou Si suddenly screamed in agony, cradling his right hand with his left, collapsing onto the ground, crying out in pain.
The sudden shift not only stunned Zhou Si’s group but also Shen Qingzhu and Shen He.
"Stupid woman, you’re courting death!"
Someone snapped back to reality and shouted, prompting the others to suddenly rush forward.
Shen Qinglan grabbed Shen Qingzhu and Shen He’s hands with each of her own and pulled them back, then charged towards the crowd.
"Qinglan!" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Shen Qingzhu and Shen He were shocked, shouting as they moved to rush forward.
But they watched as Shen Qinglan flew into action, kicking the two at the forefront aside, knocking two others behind them to the ground.
Continuing, she stepped directly over the fallen four, ignoring their groans as she quickly jumped behind the last person charging at her and kicked him into the pile of writhing people.
In mere moments, she had them all taken care of.
As Shen He and Shen Qingzhu had just raised a foot to step forward, they watched, dumbfounded.
Even Zhou Si, who had been howling hysterically, now forgot his pain, staring at Shen Qinglan in terror.
Seeming to sense his gaze, Shen Qinglan slowly raised her eyes and looked at him.
Meeting those icy eyes, Zhou Si was so frightened he almost wet himself.
His hand bone had just been crushed by Shen Qinglan, causing excruciating pain, yet now, out of fear, he forgot even that pain.
Shen Qinglan’s voice was faint, "If I see you all again, I won’t hesitate to break your necks."
Zhou Si’s group, who had yet to accomplish anything, looked at Shen Qinglan like she was a monster, then supported one another and fled.
They usually bullied unarmed villagers by their numbers, but when faced with someone like Shen Qinglan, how could they dare act rashly?
Once Zhou Si’s group left, the killing intent around Shen Qinglan dissipated instantly, leaving only her usual laziness and dullness.
"Bravo! Hahaha... our Qinglan is truly amazing!"
Shen He snapped out of it, laughing and praising.
If he wasn’t still holding the wild animals, he might have started applauding.
Shen Qingzhu swallowed secretly, thinking: In the future, he’d rather be beaten a hundred times with a broom by big sister than take a single kick from third sister.
