CH 271

Since Le Yao Yao was sitting on the second floor, she could see everything that was happening below her. (Please refer to the picture if you’re confused)

The taverns in the past are all designed like this. So people on the second floor can always see what’s happening on the first floor.

The man who slammed the table was a bulky sinister-looking man. With one look, it was obvious that he was trouble.

In front of him were two cute looking sisters. They were each holding a pipa*. They performed for a living.

Did you guys know I play this instrument? This is called the pipa!!! Maybe I’ll show you one day. <3

The middle-aged man must have ill intentions towards the two girls.

Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao scrunched her brows.

Who would’ve thought such a lovely city would have so many pervs? Last night, she encountered a few, and now there’s a group. 

Although she wasn’t the target this time, Le Yao Yao couldn’t let the two girls be bullied.

The two girls were roughly around 14-15 years of age. They were dressed in very plain clothing. It was clear that they came from a poor background. Or else, they wouldn’t be performing for money.

However, since the girls had no background or wealth, they were easy targets for hooligans.

While Le Yao Yao was thinking, one of the men from the group snarled at the girls. “It is an honour that I, Xiong Tian Ba, showed interested in you girls. Yet, rather than accepting, you prefer the punishment?!”

His voice sounded like a warning. Now, the entire tavern was dead silent.

Le Yao Yao scanned her eyes around the tavern. She could see many people gazing at the girls with pitiful eyes. Some of them seemed concerned, but not a single person stood up to save the beauties.

“S-sir, we sisters ..sell our music, not our bodies…”

The girl’s voice was so timid that it was heartbreaking to hear. However, Xiong Tian Ba completely disregarded it and reached out to pull one of the girls in his arms.

Although the girl tried to beg and resist, he continued to grope and touch her body in public.

Seeing this, the other sister immediately tried to save her sister. But, it was like hitting a stone with an egg.

Xiong Tian Ba reached out his free hand and grabbed the other sister. Then, he laughed like an a$$hole!

“Haha! Not bad! I like how you come into my arms so willingly!”

Hearing this, the other men around his table began to snicker. “Congratulations, big brother! You have caught another beauty!”

“Release us, you evil man!”

Although the girls knew they were no match for him, they kept trying to break free. Suddenly, one of them savagely bit Xiong Tian Ba’s hand.

Xiong Tian Ba yelped. His smiling face instantly turned dark. There was an ominous glint in his eyes. He lifted his hand and was about to slap the girl across the face.

Everyone held in their breath. The girl closed her eyes and accepted her fate.

But just as the girl was about to get slapped, Xiong Tian Ba shrieked in pain.

“Ahhhhh! F**k!!”

The crowd couldn’t believe their eyes. There was a chopstick that had gone through Xiong Tian Ba’s palm!

Blood was oozing out like crazy. Everything happened too suddenly.

But, the common people were overjoyed. They started to cheer.

Xiong Tian Ba was a very despicable person. But he got away with almost all his dirty crimes since he had relatively strong martial arts and many people feared him. So now that he was hurt, the common people felt great!

Xiong Tian Ba’s crew immediately stood up and pulled out their swords.

“Which scoundrel did this? Come out this second!” they shouted.

Now, the crowd became silent again. They were scared.

As for Le Yao Yao, she was still eating like nothing had happened. She wasn’t affected by the commotion at all.

However, she was missing a chopstick. Now, she was using the ladle to eat instead.

“Xuan’er, hurry and eat. Soon, we won’t get to eat.”

Xuan’er was distracted by what was happening downstairs. But, he looked at his mommy with his innocent big eyes and nodded.

“Daddy! Are we going to fight again? Those uncles look like bad people. They’re bullying the two elder sisters. Poor sisters!” (tl: remember, in Chinese, we refer to strangers as sisters and brothers even if they are not biologically related to us)

Leng Yi Xuan’s eyes were filled with pity. Seeing this, Le Yao Yao couldn’t help but smile. “Yes. Xuan’er, when you get bigger, you must learn and practice martial arts. That way, you’ll be able to protect good people from getting bullied.”

“Yes! When Xuan’er grows up, Xuan’er will definitely practice martial arts and study well. Xuan’er wants to protect mommy!”

“Aww. Xuan’er, you’re so sweet…” Le Yao Yao patted her son on the head.

Although this scene was very touching, it was chaotic downstairs. After Xiong Tian Ba got hurt, he became reckless. He began to flip the place upside down in search of the person who injured him.

Xiong Tian Ba and his crew began to break everything in the restaurant. Some customers ran out in fear. The poor manager felt so scammed. He could only watch as his customers fled the scene without paying. Yet, he was too afraid to say anything.

By now, Le Yao Yao felt like she had to do something. She picked up her remaining chopstick and took Xuan’er’s pair as well.

Then, a few whooshes could be heard. Before people knew what was happening, the bullies were all holding their injured palm and howling in pain.

“Which bastard is doing this? If you’re a man, come out! If you have balls, then show yourself! What type of hero ambushes others?”

Le Yao Yao thought about it. She was not a bastard. She didn’t have balls, and she wasn’t a man. So obviously, she wasn’t going to come out.

Hence, once again, Le Yao Yao acted as if nothing had happened and continued eating.

They were still starving. If the evil tyrant hadn’t disturbed them, they would’ve been finished by now!

Feeling ignored, the men were going insane downstairs. However, they were in too much pain to do anything else. So, they decided to depart and deal with their injuries before coming back with more people for revenge.

After Xiong Tian Ba and his crew left, the tavern was peaceful again.

The remaining customers left the money on the tables and fled. After all, they knew Xiong Tian Ba will return later. If they stay, they might be beaten up.

The tavern manager watched as everyone left. He wanted to leave too! But sadly, he owned this place. Sigh. He could only watch as everything he owned gets destroyed.

By now, Le Yao Yao and Leng Yi Xuan had finished with their meals. Just as they were about to get the waiter to take the empty dishes away and to bring on the desserts, Le Yao Yao saw the girls from the corner of her eyes.

Le Yao Yao’s brows raised.

Xiong Tian Ba had already left, yet they were still here? 

At this moment, the two sisters slightly bent their knees and curtsied at her. They spoke in unison, “Xiao Kui, Xiao En, want to thank this young master for saving our lives.”

“Oh? How do you know I’m the one who saved you?” Le Yao Yao was surprised and curious.

The sisters looked at each other and Xiao Kui explained. “Earlier, Xiao Kui noticed Xiong Tian Ba and his crew’s injuries. Based on the angle, Xiao Kui could tell the chopsticks came from above. In addition, everyone else was too afraid. They have already taken off. Yet, this young master remains calm and elegant. There is no fear in your eyes. Your aura is not of a commoner. Lastly, young master’s table is missing two pairs of chopsticks. If young master wasn’t the person who helped us, who else could it be?”

Le Yao Yao was impressed by the girl’s observation skills. She will definitely have a bright future ahead of her.

Thinking of this, the corner of Le Yao Yao’s mouth curved into a smile. “Young lady, you’re very clever.”
