"Ah..."
After being relentlessly slapped by Leng Xuan, the middle-aged man let out a high-pitched wail, feeling dizzy with stars in his eyes.
"Boss!" Baldy was stunned for a moment and then burst into rage, yelling, "Fuck! Are you looking for death, daring to hit my boss?" Swinging a giant fist, he charged at Leng Xuan with a furious momentum, aiming a smash at Leng Xuan’s back.
Zhou Li never dreamt that Leng Xuan would make such an abrupt move. Watching how he handled the middle-aged man with arrogance, conceit, and a tyrannical air that despised all life, she was completely shocked. Is this still a student?
It was only when Baldy sneak-attacked Leng Xuan from behind that she suddenly snapped awake, screaming, "Watch out..." as her heart nearly leapt to her throat.
Leng Xuan grabbed the middle-aged man’s hair and with a fierce slap to his face, the latter’s hefty body was hurled to the ground, howling incessantly.
Sensing the fistwind from behind, Leng Xuan could have easily dodged, but he thought back to the last time he stood up for Zhou Li and hit Huang Xiaojun without much consideration. Consequently, Zhou Li seemed to have prejudice against him afterward, most likely fearing that Huang Xiaojun would vent his anger on her injured brother.
With this realization, Leng Xuan felt an inner shame and decided to be a good Samaritan to the end, to thoroughly help Zhou Li once and for all. Therefore, with such a good opportunity at hand, why not bear Baldy’s punch to gain the damsel’s sympathy? Only that way could he get closer to her, right? Without a good relationship with her, it’d be awkward to offer help!
With that thought, Leng Xuan indeed took Baldy’s punch head-on. However, he had clearly underestimated the incredible brute force of Baldy. Despite secretly engaging two parts of his True Qi Body Protection, he was still struck hard enough to feel dizzy and nauseated, eventually spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Shaking his head, Leng Xuan tried to clear his mind before the second punch from Baldy could land. Suddenly, he spun a full 360 degrees, raised his right leg, and kicked Baldy directly in the stomach, "You fucking idiot!" In his rage, he couldn’t help but curse, looking extremely arrogant.
"Ow..."
A pig-like wail emanated from Baldy, as the nearly two-meter-tall man was kicked by Leng Xuan and flew several meters, crashing into a fruit stand and collapsing to the ground, clutching his stomach, curled up like a shrimp, his features twisted, with nose, eyes, and mouth nearly squished together. Whatever he had eaten for lunch seemed like it was about to come right back up, the pain making him grimace and sweat profusely. Along with his boss, they let out continuous wails that could startle the heavens and move the ghost gods.
Fruit scattered, rolling all over the ground, a middle-aged woman hurried over to pick them up, cursively muttering in the local speech.
At this time, many onlookers nearby began to applaud, some whistling, others saying, "Good job, young man, well done."
Staring dumbfounded at Leng Xuan’s handsome face, which hid a dominating aura, Zhou Li’s heart fluttered for a moment. Like an ancient well without ripples, suddenly small waves arose. And seeing the fresh blood slowly trickling from the corner of Leng Xuan’s mouth, she inexplicably felt a pang of heartache and almost couldn’t resist going over to wipe it for him, but she held back. After all, there were many people she knew around, and she didn’t want to be misunderstood.
