528: Chapter 527 Ye Zi 528: Chapter 527 Ye Zi Wang Dadong waved his hand casually, and an invisible stream of air swept over the woman’s head, immediately breaking the rope, and the woman fell, which Wang Dadong caught in his arms.
The woman, held by Wang Dadong, clung to him tightly, trembling.
“It’s okay, that person has already left, you can let go now,” Wang Dadong turned his head to one side.
Yet, the woman did not want to let go of Wang Dadong at all and hugged him even tighter, as if the moment she let go, Wang Dadong would disappear.
Although the organizer had promised special care for them, it was just superficial in crowded places.
If it were somewhere out of sight, their deaths would be no different than a dog’s, likely thrown directly into the sea.
It was her own greed for money that caused her to follow the man to this deserted place.
“You better leave quickly,” Wang Dadong told the woman, preparing to leave.
The woman called out to Wang Dadong, who turned back.
A few seconds later, the woman produced a thumb ring.
It was exactly the payment Wang Dadong had given her.
“Can I hire you?” the woman asked, lifting the thumb ring with a hopeful expression.
She had thought that after paying, the organizer would protect her, but she had not expected that, to the organizer, they were less worthy than a dog.
Earlier, she had seen a colleague bitten by a spectator’s dog, and when the colleague kicked the dog, his leg was promptly broken by someone.
When the colleague approached the organizer, he was told that the dog had also bought a ticket.
Moreover, the ticket for the dog to board the ship was even more expensive than theirs, five million per ticket.
They even told her, considering she wasn’t killed, she should count herself lucky.
Thinking of making one last big score and then quitting after the martial arts competition ended, she now feared she might not even survive until the end of the competition.
Wang Dadong did not reach for the thumb ring in the woman’s hand, but asked, “What is your name?”
“I, I am called Ye Zi…” the woman said through gritted teeth.
This name was obviously not her real name, but for some reason, when Wang Dadong heard it, he felt a tinge of emotion.
These women were living beings too.
They trampled on themselves to please others, not stealing or robbing, nor causing harm to public order, yet they lived lives lower than dogs.
In people’s eyes, they were the epitome of lowliness.
In fact, they were pitiable too, wanting to pursue a better life.
Wang Dadong had originally not planned to help the woman since he still needed to protect Liu Tong and Xia Yun.
Moreover, knowing that the forces from the God Forbidden Zone were also on the ship meant he had even more to worry about, leaving him no time to deal with the woman’s issues.
But in the end, he agreed.
Perhaps it was a moment of compassion, or perhaps it was the woman’s name that touched a tender spot in his heart.
Seeing Wang Dadong agree, Ye Zi immediately seemed a bit happier and tried to hand the thumb ring to Wang Dadong.
“Keep it,” Wang Dadong shook his head.
Ye Zi’s face showed a hint of gratitude as she softly walked over to Wang Dadong’s side.
“For the upcoming time, don’t wander around or think about conducting business.
Once you get back to the mainland, go find a place called ‘Ancient Rhythm Qin Music’ and mention my name.
They will buy this ring from you at a fair price,”
Wang Dadong said softly.
“Mhm,” Ye Zi obediently nodded her head.
Not all women in the world had willingly degraded themselves, but life forced them…
Wang Dadong shook his head, leading Ye Zi to a secluded corner on the deck of the massive ship.
He didn’t have the money to get a room for Ye Zi.
The slightly chill sea breeze blew, causing Ye Zi to shiver uncontrollably.
“Come sit next to me,” Wang Dadong, smoking on the deck, motioned to Ye Zi.
“Oh,” Ye Zi sat next to Wang Dadong but kept a small distance between them.
Not because she was wary of Wang Dadong, but because she felt too lowly, too dirty.
“Come closer,” Wang Dadong softly said.
Ye Zi moved a bit closer, but she still did not touch Wang Dadong’s body.
Wang Dadong reached out and wrapped his arm around Ye Zi, pulling her body close to his.
Instantly, a warm sensation spread throughout Ye Zi’s body.
Ye Zi looked up at Wang Dadong in surprise, not knowing what had happened.
“Don’t be surprised, this is Inner Strength,” Wang Dadong said softly.
Ye Zi’s eyes reddened a bit; although her identity was awkward, she still had some understanding of the Martial Way.
To have Inner Strength leave the body required the cultivation of at least the Minor Heavenly Rank, meaning the man before her was at least a low-level Martial Artist of the Superhuman Realm.
Because of her status, Ye Zi hadn’t had the privilege to watch the Martial Arts competition, so she didn’t know that Wang Dadong was actually comparable to a practitioner of the Saint Realm.
After all, the final move by Hua Shi Er, Swastika Cherry Blossom Blade Stream, was something not even a Semi-Saint might be able to withstand.
Although a Minor Heavenly Rank practitioner could separate their Inner Strength from their body, maintaining someone’s body temperature while doing so consumed a lot of Inner Strength.
She hadn’t expected that he would release his Inner Strength to warm her, a woman despised and looked down upon by everyone.
Moreover, he must be a Martial Artist, and there might even be a competition tomorrow!
