Chapter 122 - Pang Jiao

After leaving Lee Tao alone, Tang Lingling watched over Pang Jiao from the rooftop.

Tang Lingling knew what she had just done would go against her servant's duty and conduct, but she couldn't allow herself to leave Pang Jiao alone.

After all, she was now a target from everyone living in the Southwest Zone.

And she wasn't wrong.

From above, Tang Lingling already saw three people following behind Pang Jiao as they held a small knife out.

'As expected… they really begin to move once Pang Jiao is far away from Lee Tao.' Tang Lingling thought.

Meanwhile, Pang Jiao remained ignorant of her surroundings as she made her way through an alley.

"The medicine shop should be around here…" Pang Jiao muttered as she held the spirit stone tightly in her hand.

However, just as she was about to enter the medicine shop, three people appeared with wicked expressions on their faces.

"Hand over that spirit stone, little girl."

"If you're smart enough to hand it over, we promise to let you go." 

Pang Jiao remained firm and still when she heard these people's demands.

"Sorry, but this money is for saving my mother's life. I cannot give it to you," Pang Jiao replied calmly.

"Hahaha, little girl, we didn't make a move on you before because of that Young Master. Now that he has already left and you're all alone, you either hand it over to us nicely or you're going to feel some pain."

"Boss, let's just kill her and snatch the spirit stone. With that kind of money, we can live for a long time."

"Yeah Boss, it's not like that pretty rich Young Master would ever come back to this dump."

The so-called Boss pondered for a moment before curling his lips upward.

His subordinate was right! This kind of disgusting and dirty environment was not something anyone could endure, especially when they come from a wealthy family or clan.

"Little girl, you have forced my hand," The Boss shouted wickedly as he raised his hand up and prepared to slash his small dagger toward Pang Jiao.

Pang Jiao closed her eyes as she covered herself with her arms.

Suddenly, just as the small dagger was about to slit through Peng Jiao's neck, the so-called Boss was restricted in his movement.

"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of a poor neighborhood filled with vile criminals. Not even willing to spare a little girl." Tang Lingling appeared in a majestic aura as she flicked her hand.

A surge of profound qi was sent out, creating an arc slash. 

The Boss was impacted by the profound qi as he crashed into a nearby wall and vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Boss!" The other two lackeys yelled out in shock as they rushed after him and tried to get him up.

Meanwhile, Tang Lingling took another step forward before holding a scornful look at the medicine shop.

"A medicine shop is created to help others yet in the face of danger, you hide behind a wall in cower." Tang Lingling sneered coldly.

Her eyes seemed to have pierced through the wall and saw the people inside, sending a chill down their back.

Tang Lingling ignored the people inside the medicine shop for now as she focused back on the three robbers.

"P-Please spare us, we were just trying to obtain the little girl's spirit stone and nothing else." 

"W-We were just trying to scare her and not really harm her."

Tang Lingling nodded her head.

She flashed a gentle smile at them as she waved her hand. "Yes, I'm not harming you either. I'm just sending you onto your next journey of life."

With a blast, the three people were decimated into nothingness.

"You alright, Pang Jiao?" Tang Lingling turned around and asked her.

"I'm fine," Pang Jiao said calmly.

Despite the bloody mess scene in front of her, Pang Jiao wasn't afraid of it.

Instead, she was more curious about Tang Lingling's appearance.

"Why are you here, big sister?" Pang Jiao asked.

"Are you here to make sure I wouldn't renege on my promise? Pang Jiao will never lie to anyone if she promises something." She added.

Tang Lingling twitched her brow.

"No, I'm just here to make sure you are safe and sound. After all, if I weren't here today, you would have been killed and my Young Master would have brought a faulty product." Tang Lingling said as she retrieved a small token.

"Take this and go toward the entrance of the Southwest Zone. Tell the guard that you are assigned by Tang Lingling from the Liu Clan. The medicine here is not as great as the medicine in the Central District." 

Pang Jiao stood in a daze as she became hesitant.

After all, she had been living in the Southwest Zone ever since she was born. 

And now she was told to leave the area and venture into a new area- one that is specifically built for the rich and powerful people.

Tang Lingling also noticed her hesitation as she showed a gentle smile.

"Rest assured, Pang Jiao." Tang Lingling said.

She then patted her head softly, "Right now, you are under the Liu Clan's protection and anyone that tries to have some thoughts about you would have to think twice.

Hearing her reassurance and dominance, Pang Jiao nodded her head.

"Okay, I will head to the entrance to get the medicine then." Pang Jiao said.

"Make sure to look for a pharmacy store owned by the Liu Clan. You can also have the guard give you directions by flashing that token I gave you." 

Sometime later, once Pang Jiao left the scene to hurry her pace toward the Central District, Tang Lingling held a ferocious expression.

'As expected of an unlawful place, it's better off not existing at all.' Tang Lingling thought as she slammed her palm toward the air.

A gush of profound qi appeared in the form of a holographic palm. 

Afterward, the holographic palm slammed toward the medicine shop, demolishing everything inside.

Blood started seeping out through the collapsed building.

"Since you don't want to help, then you might as well die to repent."
