Shen Yiru frowned when she saw Mu Fengqie's figure. She never expected that the one who would stand up for her would be Mu Fengqie. However, at this moment, Mu Fengqie had broken the impression she had of her before.
"Where did this little missy come from? One is prettier than the other. We brothers are in for a treat today."
Hearing this, those men burst into laughter. Their lecherous eyes kept sizing up the women, which made Mu Fengqie feel nauseated.
If she hadn't shown up today, Shen Yiru might have fallen into the hands of these people. But since they had run into her, it meant they were in bad luck.
"You shouldn't have messed with my people!" Mu Fengqie showed a menacing look in her eyes. Her cold gaze swept over the men.
For some reason, those men were startled by Mu Fengqie's menacing look and felt a twinge of fear deep in their hearts.
However, Mu Fengqie was just a woman, and the others with her were just two little missies. Could these women really turn the world upside down?
The scar - faced man at the head stepped forward and came in front of Mu Fengqie. In this way, all the attention was on Mu Fengqie. Mu Fengqie was extremely beautiful. If he could take her back, he would be in for a great time.
Thinking of this, the scar - faced man reached out his hand and stared at Mu Fengqie with a lecherous look.
Seeing that the hand was about to touch Mu Fengqie's flawless skin, Shen Yiru broke out in a cold sweat. She wanted to go back and report the news, but these people were watching too closely. She didn't even have a chance to escape and report.
But before the scar - faced man could touch Mu Fengqie's skin, he began to scream in pain. Zhu Fei, with a cold face, firmly broke the scar - faced man's hand with a cracking sound. Her blood - thirsty eyes were like those of a beast about to devour someone alive.
The scar - faced man never expected that such a delicate - looking woman would have so much strength. It seemed he had underestimated these little women. But as their leader, how could he endure such humiliation? He immediately changed his expression.
"Good for you, little bitch. You're a martial artist. Brothers, teach them a good lesson! Let them know what the name Lord Huo means!"
Hearing this, Mu Fengqie sneered, her face full of disdain and provocation. "Humph, Lord Huo? Attack them. Don't kill them. Let them know the consequences of touching my people!"
Hearing this, Shen Yiru, who had been trembling with fear, unexpectedly calmed down. It was as if she knew Mu Fengqie could protect her.
A whistle sounded, and about twenty secret guards suddenly descended from the sky on the street. This scene not only surprised Shen Yiru but also left those hooligans stunned.
Their former arrogance was completely scared away by these secret guards who had suddenly appeared. The scar - faced man at the head also took two steps back in fear. They could tell that these secret guards were all highly skilled in martial arts. How could they, a bunch of hooligans, compare with these trained martial artists?
The best strategy was to run away. The scar - faced man had already started planning how to escape.
But how could Mu Fengqie give him such a chance? With a single order, the scar - faced man had only managed to run two steps before he was grabbed back.
Shen Yiru never expected things to develop to this extent. She had thought she was doomed. Looking at Mu Fengqie's face, she felt a bit awkward.
She had thought this woman was a coward, but today this woman had left her speechless. It was as if her perception of her had been completely refreshed. But Shen Yiru had treated her so badly before, and yet today she had come to Shen Yiru's rescue. This made Shen Yiru not know how to face Mu Fengqie.
Those hooligans were beaten black and blue by the secret guards. Some were even dragged away as they tried to escape. The secret guards then disappeared into the darkness as if they had never existed.
These secret guards were not only left to her by Jing Xinche but also sent by the Pharmacist Valley to protect her. If it hadn't been for this unexpected situation, she wouldn't have mobilized these secret guards.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" Mu Fengqie asked worriedly.
Shen Yiru scratched her head shyly. "I'm okay. Today... today... thank you for saving me."
After saying this, Shen Yiru lowered her head and didn't look at Mu Fengqie anymore. Mu Fengqie couldn't help but laugh. This little girl was indeed straightforward and a bit cute.
Hearing the laughter, Shen Yiru looked up in surprise and looked at Mu Fengqie puzzledly. "What are you laughing at? I'm sincerely thanking you. I was wrong about those things before, so... I'm sorry."
Mu Fengqie never expected Shen Yiru to apologize to her. This was unexpected, but it was also a good thing.
"I accept your apology. So, does that mean you won't cause me any more trouble from now on?" Mu Fengqie asked with a smile.
Shen Yiru nodded. "By the way, who on earth are you? How do you have so many secret guards?"
She, a proper young miss, didn't even have secret guards, but Mu Fengqie had so many. It seemed that Mu Fengqie's identity was not that simple.
Mu Fengqie grinned but didn't know how to answer. After a long while, she finally said, "I'll tell you when the time is right. Let's go. Let's go back."
They had been out for a long time, and Mu Fengqie was a bit tired. After going back, she still had to make facial masks and skin - care products. If she didn't make enough, there might not be enough to meet the demand.
Shen Yiru had started to admire Mu Fengqie. Along the way, she chattered non - stop beside Mu Fengqie, which almost gave Mu Fengqie a headache. However, the two of them reconciled because of this.
Shen Yiru even followed Mu Fengqie back to the Listening to the Maple Garden. When she saw the courtyard full of bottles and jars, her eyes widened. She had never been to the Listening to the Maple Garden before and didn't know that Mu Fengqie had turned a good - looking courtyard into such a mess. There was hardly any place to step.
"What's in these bottles and jars? Why are there so many of them in the courtyard?" Shen Yiru asked in surprise.
Just as Mu Fengqie was about to explain, she suddenly had an idea. She stared at Shen Yiru with a sly look in her eyes. Wouldn't it be wonderful to use Shen Yiru as a test subject to see the effect?
Shen Yiru shivered involuntarily. She always felt that there was a conspiracy in Mu Fengqie's eyes, which made her back feel cold. "You... why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
The image of those secret guards had taken root in Shen Yiru's heart. She even felt a bit scared when looking at Mu Fengqie, mostly because she had been too frightened today.
Mu Fengqie picked up one of the bottles and jars, quickly walked up to Shen Yiru, and put what was in her hand into Shen Yiru's hand.
"Use this facial mask. You're the first person to use my facial mask!"
