When Cheng Xiaofan saw his old classmate being bullied, he was about to step forward when he noticed his own goddess, Bai, had stood up.
As if performing a magic trick, he took out another pair of gloves from his backpack and handed them to Bai Yiling, saying with a smile, "Goddess Bai, put these on so you don't dirty your hands!"
It was no joke. His goddess Bai's hands were truly fair, smooth, and slender, as if boneless. A faint, intoxicating fragrance emanated from them.
Such hands were only meant for admiration.
If it weren't to verify her cultivated strength, Cheng Xiaofan truly couldn't bear to let her exquisite hands be used for fighting.
"Thank you!" Bai Yiling took the pair of pristine leather gloves and quickly put them on.
At this moment, Jiushan reached out and stroked his goatee, his sinister gaze sweeping around as he snarled menacingly, "Who just spoke?"
Bai Yiling walked over, her face frosty, and said, "It was me. What about it?"
"Miss, this doesn't concern you. Please step aside!"
Li Weiguo spotted Bai Yiling approaching and immediately panicked. He shouted to Cheng Xiaofan again, "Old classmate, quickly take your girlfriend away!"
Unexpectedly, Cheng Xiaofan remained seated, motionless, and said with a smile, "Li Weiguo, it's alright. My goddess Bai is not only rich, but she's also quite capable of fighting!"
Li Weiguo's eyes darkened with anger upon hearing this. "Cheng Xiaofan, when did you become like this? She can't afford to provoke these people!"
Songxia Qinzi and her aunt, having witnessed Bai Yiling's prowess, remained silent.
"Miss, I beg you, please leave here quickly!" Li Weiguo didn't want Bai Yiling to get hurt because of his troubles.
Bai Yiling said to him, "Don't worry, I'll be fine!"
At this moment, Jiushan was completely captivated by Bai Yiling's beauty.
He licked his lips and chuckled, "Miss, you're right. You'll be fine. With your stunning looks, I wouldn't harm you."
Bai Yiling sneered at Jiushan and asked, "You mentioned earlier that Watanabe Iki was your idol, didn't you?"
"Yes, you could say that!"
Jiushan's lecherous eyes roamed all over Bai Yiling as he licked his lips and said with a hint of boastfulness, "Miss, I can tell you, I'm the street boss around here. No one dares to provoke me!"
Bai Yiling retorted, "It seems Watanabe Kazuo said something similar this morning. However, in the plaza on Shimizu Street, he and his Bat Gang were all wiped out!"
"What? Miss, are you joking? My idol and his Bat Gang are beyond your ability to defeat?"
Jiushan burst into laughter as if he had heard the biggest joke, tilting his head back. "You're not trying to please me by saying that, are you?"
Bai Yiling coldly replied, "Please you? Fine. Since you admire Watanabe Iki so much, let me send you to meet him then!"
Just then, several thugs standing behind Jiushan were rapidly scrolling through videos on their phones.
They looked at one of the videos and then carefully scrutinized Bai Yiling. Suddenly, they all shivered, and their phones clattered to the ground.
"No good, boss! This is the same beauty who wiped out Watanabe Iki and the others on Shimizu Street!"
One of the thugs picked up his phone from the ground, handed it over, and stammered, "Boss, look quickly, there's a video here..."
Jiushan took the phone and glanced at the video. His face immediately turned as pale as paper, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead.
With a thud!
He promptly knelt before Bai Yiling.
"Goddess, I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken nonsense in front of you. Watanabe Iki is not my idol at all; I was just babbling..." Jiushan kowtowed and bowed.
Bai Yiling said with a frosty expression, "Stand up and speak to me!"
"Yes, yes, I'm standing up!" Jiushan's legs felt like noodles, and he collapsed to the ground several times before managing to stand.
He finally got to his feet, his clothes soaked with sweat.
Slap!
Bai Yiling landed a slap that sent him tumbling through the air, crashing headfirst onto the ground. Seven or eight of his teeth were knocked out.
This slapping technique was clearly learned from Cheng Xiaofan.
"Stand up!" Bai Yiling commanded.
Jiushan grunted.
As soon as he stood, another slap landed on his face.
"Ah—"
With a scream, Jiushan fell to the ground again. "Goddess, spare me! If you hit me again, I'll be beaten to death!"
Bang!
Bai Yiling delivered another kick to his abdomen, shouting, "Scum, do you think you can call me Goddess?"
"I was wrong! I shouldn't have called you Goddess. I'll call you Beautiful Heroine instead!"
Jiushan rolled several meters on the ground, wailing, "I beg you, please stop hitting me! I'm a complete scumbag and don't deserve to be beaten!"
Bai Yiling's gaze swept over the other thugs. Before she could speak, they all went down on their knees with a thump.
"We are all scumbags!" they all shouted in unison, terrified.
Some of them had been at Shimizu Street plaza that morning, watching the commotion, but had kept their distance and hadn't clearly seen Bai Yiling's face.
Later, someone filmed a video and posted it online, which exploded.
The video was shot very clearly, finally allowing them to see Bai Yiling's complete appearance.
Bai Yiling's mysterious martial arts and her fluid, graceful movements, scenes previously only seen in movies, had now appeared in real life.
In less than half an hour, through online dissemination, Bai Yiling instantly became a public goddess and a righteous flying fairy in the hearts of the Japanese people.
It was just that Jiushan and his crew never imagined they would encounter Bai Yiling at the Tang Dynasty Grand Hotel.
"You guys have some nerve, daring to extort money at my man's old classmate's hotel. Did you think I wouldn't dare to destroy you?" Bai Yiling shouted loudly.
Jiushan and the thugs cried out, "We were wrong! Please, Female Hero, spare us! We'll never dare to do this again, truly!"
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
At this point, they no longer cared about their heads and began smashing them against the ground like they were playing with balls.
In the blink of an eye, bruises appeared on their foreheads.
Soon, they cracked open and bled.
The sight made the surrounding diners feel a splitting headache.
"Xiaofan, how should we deal with them?" Bai Yiling asked Cheng Xiaofan at this moment.
Cheng Xiaofan blinked and glanced at Jiushan and the others. From the energy signatures emanating from them, they seemed to be the kind of people who lived for today and worried not about tomorrow. He wouldn't be able to get any money out of them.
He couldn't help but shake his head and say, "It's too good for them. Make them break one leg each and get lost!"
