Qi Yuan brought Luo Ruying and Ning Yechen through many streets. Eachtime, she would enthusiastically introduce the attractions.
"This is the most bustling commercial area in Nanli City. Here, as long
as you have money, you can buy anything you want.
"This place is also a commercial area. Although it isn't as lively as
the one earlier, the merchants are friendlier, and the goods are
cheaper.
"This place is called Tianbao Street. You can purchase weapons, magic
items, herbs, pills, and monster beast ingredients. If you're lucky, you
might even find monster beast pets!"
Since Luo Ruying had high cultivation, Qi Yuan specially showed her
around Tianbao Street.
In Nanli City, all cultivators knew about Tianbao Street.
There were all kinds of unusual low-level magic items on this street,
but some of them were damaged or fake.
Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying only took a quick look and lost interest.
To them, calling these things trash was a compliment.
"Oh my! Look who it is. It's the eldest young lady of the Qi family."
Just as Qi Yuan was showing Ning Yechen and the others around, a few
figures came over and stood in front of them.
The man at the lead was wearing luxurious clothes with all kinds of
jewelry and magic tools, looking like a nouveau riche. He looked at them
in contempt.
Behind the man were dozens of followers. The scene was quite impressive.
When the stall owners saw this man, their expressions changed
drastically as they gave way.
Everywhere the man went, he would step on or kick the items and people
in his way. His behavior was extremely arrogant.
The people around did not dare to voice the slightest grievance.
Among them, even cultivators did not dare to speak up.
The man before them was Jiang Li, the eldest son of the Jiang family,
one of the two main merchant families in Nanli City.
The Jiang family controlled nearly 60% of the commercial streets and
properties, so countless cultivators wanted to befriend them.
The Jiang family had hired many cultivators to work as guards, and there
were even those above the Mental Spiritual realm.
No one was certain of their true strength. People only knew that they
were unbelievably strong.
In the city, no one dared to offend the Jiang family!
Jiang Li noticed Qi Yuan from a distance. When he saw her on the street,
a look of surprise flashed across his face. She actually made it back!
Even though Jiang Li was surprised, he still smiled in contempt and
walked over to Qi Yuan.
When Qi Yuan saw Jiang Li come over, her pretty face turned gloomy and
cold. She said without hiding anything, "Hmph. You must be disappointed
to see me return!"
"I'm not disappointed. This makes things more interesting ." Jiang Li
had no intention of hiding the fact that the Jiang family had sent the
assassins. He acted as though Qi Yuan could not do anything about it.
Qi Yuan thought Jiang Li would at least pretend not to know, but he
actually admitted to it!
He was too arrogant!
Qi Yuan clenched her fists, wanting to fight. But seeing the dozens of
guards behind Jiang Li, she could only grit her teeth and give up.
Jiang Li knew there was nothing Qi Yuan could do to him. His face became
increasingly cocky as he came up to her face and said sinisterly,
"Before long, your family will be no more. Miss Qi, you should figure
out how to make a living as soon as possible. The brothels are hiring. Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ N0vᴇlFire(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.
If you want, I could make a recommendation. With your fame, I'm sure
you'll become the most popular prostitute."
"You!" Qi Yuan's face turned pale. She pressed her hand on the sword
handle hanging from her waist.
The guards behind Jiang Li immediately grasped their swords.
Jiang Li raised his hand, and his men withdrew their weapons. He looked
at Qi Yuan mockingly, not taking her seriously at all. "Miss Qi, it's
against the law to fight in the city."
Qi Yuan hesitated again and again. In the end, she loosened her grip and
gave up the thought of drawing her sword.
With her skills, she could not even defeat one of Jiang Li's guards, let
alone kill him.
"That's right." Jiang Li laughed smugly. He looked at Luo Ruying, who
was carrying Luo Hongye behind Qi Yuan.
When he walked over, he had already noticed Luo Ruying's gorgeous face.
The moment he saw her up close, he could not resist exclaiming, "This
woman is so beautiful!"
Jiang Li disregarded Ning Yechen beside Luo Ruying and walked up to her.
He put on a gentlemanly look and smiled. "Miss, I don't remember seeing
you around Nanli City. May I know your name? I am the eldest son of the
Jiang family, Jiang Li. I have wealth and status in the city. May I have
the honor of making your acquaintance?"
Ning Yechen stood by the side, frowning.
He was resisting the urge to slap this boy to death! Damn him! How dare
he hit on my wife right in front of me?
If Luo Ruying were not here, making him worried about exposing himself
to her, even this man's soul would be gone by now!
"Get lost," Luo Ruying said coldly to Jiang Li.
At first glance, she could tell Jiang Li used his power to oppress
others and was a lascivious man. She was extremely disgusted with him.
Jiang Li looked weak and had deep eye circles. The depravity in his eyes
was obvious. He must have bullied countless girls!
If Luo Ruying did not plan to reside quietly in Nanli City with her
husband and daughter and did not want to cause trouble, she would be
tempted to kill Jiang Li!
When Luo Ruying treated him coldly, Jiang Li was stunned, and then he
smiled in disdain.
He was not angry at all.
He had seen plenty of proud women like Luo Ruying, and he had
encountered ones who were even more fierce than her.
They were just like her now. When they first came to Nanli City, they
did not know his skills and the strength of his family.
Once they saw what he was capable of, which of those women did not
obediently lie in his bed, letting him do whatever he wanted?!
When Qi Yuan saw Jiang Li hitting on Luo Ruying, she knew what he
wanted. She immediately stood in front of Luo Ruying and yelled, "Jiang
Li, don't even think about touching Big Sister Luo. She's already
married with a child. Stop daydreaming and get lost!"
"A husband and child?" Jiang Li looked at Luo Hongye in Luo Ruying's
arms and turned to Ning Yechen. Contempt remained on his face. "That
pretty boy?"
Ning Yechen remained silent. Calm down... Calm down...
His hand behind his back almost could not resist slapping this fly to
death!
Even people at the Heavenly Emperor realm did not dare to speak to him
in this manner!
Luo Ruying frowned, and her face turned cold. She stood in front of Ning
Yechen with Luo Hongye in her arms and said coldly, "No one can insult
my husband!"
Luo Ruying released a powerful aura that went straight for Jiang Li and
his guards!
