"Even if I feed you all this, you won't get a scratch," Tang Youyou said.
This remark astonished everyone. Tang Youyou was openly provoking the bully. Everyone thought she was courting death.
Hearing Tang Youyou's words, the bully's face contorted with anger. In an instant, three or four men behind him surrounded her.
The onlookers didn't dare to say much. After all, Tang Youyou was a newcomer, and they didn't see any reason to help.
The next moment, Tang Youyou raised her hands. A pink mist filled the air. In an instant, those men seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.
Their faces were filled with terror, while Tang Youyou remained nonchalant. She counted down mercilessly, "Five, four, three, two, one, fall!"
As her words fell, those men dropped to the ground in unison. The thud made them seem like discarded trash, despised by all.
The common people were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes when they saw the bullies lying on the ground. They had been longing day and night for someone to subdue these bullies, and today, it had finally happened.
It was even done by such a gentle - looking young master.
However, an kind - hearted old woman in the crowd advised, "Young master, you're probably new here and don't know our local rules. These men are backed by some local landlords. If you offend them, you'll be in big trouble..."
The old woman knew some things were better left unsaid, but at this critical moment, although Tang Youyou's actions were satisfying, they might bring trouble to herself.
"How about this? You close your shop for a few days and reopen after the storm has passed?"
The old woman's suggestion was reasonable, but Tang Youyou still looked at her coldly. "Auntie, I have my own plans. I'll be fine."
Seeing that Tang Youyou had made up her mind, the old woman didn't try to persuade her anymore.
On the other hand, Tang Youyou was leisurely looking at the men lying on the ground in a sorry state.
"How do you want to die? I can't just let you go out and spread nonsense, can I?"
Tang Youyou's words were a clear warning.
These men knew what she meant, but they were reluctant because of Tang Youyou's seemingly frail appearance.
"Damn it! I'll make you pay double for what I've suffered today. Just wait!"
After he finished speaking, Tang Youyou laughed even more charmingly. "I'll be waiting for you here. I'm even afraid you won't dare to come."
As she spoke, their bodies suddenly regained the ability to move, as if the heavy burden on them had been lifted. They were extremely shocked.
Yue Fusheng beside Tang Youyou asked curiously, "Can you use poison?"
Tang Youyou replied nonchalantly, "No."
"Then how did you make these people lie still on the ground?"
"I just did it randomly. I don't know why myself."
Their voices were neither too loud nor too soft, but loud enough for everyone to hear.
They looked at Tang Youyou in astonishment. If this person could make the bullies lie still just by doing it randomly, how powerful would she be if she really knew those skills?
"Disperse," Tang Youyou said and was about to turn around and leave. But after the crowd dispersed, she suddenly felt an extra force on her leg.
Looking down, she saw it was a homeless man.
The homeless man looked haggard. He looked at Tang Youyou pitifully but spoke in a gentle voice. "Miss, can you give me a place to stay? I really have nowhere to go. People in other places just drive me away."
As he spoke, he shook his head, probably cursing those people in his heart.
Just as he finished speaking, a woman walked out from inside. Before Tang Youyou could see her clearly, she saw the woman kicking the homeless man hard several times.
These kicks were extremely forceful.
Seeing Granny Xuan coming out in such a rage, Tang Youyou was silent. Did she get angry because of the noise outside?
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Granny Xuan cursed angrily, "You old bastard! You finally know to come back? Do you think you can come in and have a place to sleep? You're daydreaming!"
Seeing Granny Xuan like this, Tang Youyou was also stunned.
"Granny Xuan, do you know each other?"
Hearing this, Granny Xuan nodded. "Know each other? We're like enemies! I've been looking for you for more than ten years. Finally, I can see you after I came out!"
Hearing what she said, Tang Youyou thought this old man must have offended Granny Xuan.
"If so, should we let him go?" Tang Youyou whispered tentatively.
But Granny Xuan let out a sly smile. "Let him go? No way. Let him in. He'll stay here with me from now on."
After saying that, Granny Xuan strode back into the room angrily and sat on the high seat, watching the homeless man enter slowly.
Seeing Granny Xuan so angry for no reason, Tang Youyou naturally didn't give the homeless man a good look. "Old man, after you go in, I'll arrange a place for you to eat and sleep. Do your work well, and everything will be fine."
After saying that, Tang Youyou also entered the room. Sitting on the upper seat, she saw the old man standing still at the door, hesitating and reluctant to enter.
"Come in quickly!" Tang Youyou urged.
Only then did the old man walk in reluctantly. He looked at Granny Xuan, who was sitting on the upper seat sulking, with pitiful eyes.
"Xuan'er," the old man suddenly called out, which made everyone present freeze in place.
Tang Youyou crossed her arms and looked at the old man expressionlessly, wondering what he was up to.
Granny Xuan let out another snort and even ignored the old man. "Don't call me Xuan'er. Your body is so precious that you'll get tired just by saying one more word!"
As she spoke, Granny Xuan rolled her eyes.
At this moment, the old man's eyes welled up with tears and he couldn't stop crying.
"Xuan'er, I just wanted to travel around the world. I didn't want to stay in the palace. My ambition lies in the distance, not here!"
After sorting out the situation, Tang Youyou looked at Granny Xuan, who was sulking, and roughly guessed the answer. This old man was probably her lover.
It was just a love story between a wanderer and a young lady from a noble family, which ended in nothing. Granny Xuan might have waited for him in the palace for many years.
It was really a coincidence that they finally met after Granny Xuan came out.
On one side, Kang Fuhai's face turned pale.
Because he recognized that this old man was the Bare - footed Immortal who saved Tang Youyou that day. This was a person respected by everyone!
Just as Kang Fuhai was about to speak, the old man immediately gave him a look.
