Back to that fierce battle at the street corner.
Qin Yu, this 'Peak of Internal Strength' young tough guy who had just emerged from the deep mountains and old forests.
At this moment, he stood with his hands on his hips, in the middle of a group of crying and wailing thugs who had been beaten into disarray.
In just a few short minutes, one or two dozen desperadoes armed with steel pipes and machetes were single-handedly dealt with by him, scattered and routed!
The remaining few clever ones, seeing the situation was bad, had long since been scared witless and fled, scrambling away.
A few minutes ago, on his way back from delivering medicine, he suddenly heard the sounds of fighting coming from this direction.
Originally, he just wanted to watch the show: who would win when a few professional bodyguards fought a group of social hooligans?
As it turned out, behind the bodyguards, there seemed to be someone else being protected... a girl whose face was a little pale from fright, but who still couldn't hide her pure and lovely, peerless beauty!
The moment Qin Yu saw that girl, his gaze was like being drawn by a powerful magnet, unable to move even a fraction of an inch!
The girl was wearing a light blue dress, her long, dark, smooth hair was slightly disheveled from the earlier panic, and a few strands clung to her fair cheeks, adding a touch of delicate charm.
Her clear, innocent, yet endearing big eyes were staring at the surrounding chaos with fear and unease.
This pitiful, helpless appearance instantly struck Qin Yu's innocent heart, which had never been in love!
His eyes immediately lit up, and he almost started drooling.
"Good heavens! My goodness! Are there too many beautiful women in this Demon Capital? Each one is more exciting than the last!"
"If Qingyan Senior Sister is like a fairy untainted by the mortal world, then this one in front of me is simply a pure and lovely little angel! She's too beautiful!"
The strong impulses of "love at first sight" and "hero saving the beauty" made Qin Yu instantly throw all thoughts of his master's last wish, his Senior Sister, Lu Cheng... all to the back of his mind!
Now, he only had one thought—
Save this beautiful younger sister!
Make her eternally grateful to him!
Then... hehehe... As soon as Qin Yu made his move, Lu Cheng's several Internal Strength bodyguards exchanged a knowing glance, no longer entangled with the fierce bandits, but quickly retreated, protecting Xia Qinghe even more closely.
Then, they stood comfortably to the side, also enjoying Qin Yu's solo performance.
Just after he had completely subdued Black Wolf's subordinates, and even, still feeling unfulfilled, cursed a few "national essences" in the direction they fled.
He turned around, his gaze, like a hungry wolf, fell upon the petite and lovely figure protected by the bodyguards in the middle!
At this moment, Xia Qinghe's small face was still pale from the recent thrilling crisis, and her eyes still held lingering fear and helplessness.
That pitiful, delicate, and helpless appearance made Qin Yu's heart, which was already pounding wildly from the hero saving the beauty, instantly accelerate to its extreme!
He excitedly sucked back the drool that was about to flow out!
"Oh my goodness! How does this angel sister look... even better when she's scared than she did before!"
"This... this must be fate arranged by the heavens for me, Qin Yu, after suffering in the mountains for twenty years!"
"My spring, Qin Yu's... my happy life with many wives and concubines, is it finally beginning?"
He forcefully suppressed the urge in his heart to immediately rush over and pull the beauty into his arms to comfort her.
He tried to straighten his Hui Chun Tang uniform, attempting to make himself look more like a peerless hero.
Alas, it was a pity that he wasn't riding a white horse... but an electric scooter.
Then, he forced out what he considered his most handsome and kind smile.
Rubbing his big hands, which had just beaten people to tears, he walked towards Xia Qinghe with a lecherous gaze.
"Later... this angel sister will surely cry and throw herself into my arms, saying she'll give herself to me, right?"
"Alas, then I can only reluctantly agree!"
"Hehehe... Although there's a slight regret with Qingyan Senior Sister..."
"But this angel sister in front of me, I, Qin Yu, will take her first!"
Just as Qin Yu was a few steps away from Xia Qinghe, brewing his emotions and preparing to utter the classic hero-saving-the-beauty lines he had practiced countless times.
Suddenly!
Xia Qinghe, who had originally been a little lost and bewildered.
It was as if she had seen a savior descend!
Her clear eyes, which had originally held fear and helplessness, burst forth with immense joy and reliance!
Then!
She actually... lifted her light blue skirt, and without a care in the world!
Rushed towards Qin Yu's direction... flying?
Qin Yu saw Xia Qinghe suddenly running towards him!
And her face was filled with such a brilliant, such an adoring smile!
His heart instantly blossomed with joy!
"Is she going to throw herself into my arms willingly?"
"Hahahahaha! I knew it! I knew it would be like this!"
He was even so excited that he subconsciously opened his arms, ready to embrace that fragrant, soft hug!
However!
The next second!
Left Qin Yu dumbfounded! His worldview shattered!
Xia Qinghe, upon reaching him, didn't even glance at him, her "savior"!
Instead... she directly! Without stopping! Brushed past him!
Then!
She plunged! Fiercely! Into the arms of the man who had just gotten out of the car not far behind him!
It was Lu Cheng!!
Lu Cheng's face even held a playful smile, born from having just enjoyed a wonderful "Dragon King and Traitor" cursing match.
Xia Qinghe tightly hugged Lu Cheng's waist, burying her tear-streaked face, full of grievance and reliance, deep into his broad and warm chest, her voice thick with sobs and lingering fear, choked out:
"Wuwuwu... Lu Cheng Gege, you scared me to death."
"Those bad guys just now, they... they wanted to grab me..."
Qin Yu's outstretched arms, ready to welcome the "beauty into his embrace," remained awkwardly, stiffly suspended in mid-air.
The triumphant, brilliant smile on his face instantly froze!
His entire being, petrified on the spot!
His eyes were wider than when he had previously seen Luo Qingyan and Lu Cheng intimately teaching in the room!
"What the f*ck?"
"What... what the hell is going on again?"
"How come this angel sister also knows Lu Cheng, this pretty boy?"
"How does this feel a little familiar?"
"Could it be... she's also Lu Cheng's woman?"
"Is there any justice in this world?"
"Is there any law?"
"Why? Why are all the pretty girls his?"
