"merchant?"

The man looked Chen Qingwan up and down, then gave her a lewd smile.

"You don't seem like businessmen to me, you seem more like..."

He paused deliberately, his gaze shifting back and forth between Chen Qingwan and Qiao'er.

"A delicate and tender young lady! Hehe..."

His companions behind him joined in the jeering, letting out bursts of lewd laughter.

Chen Qingwan's heart sank, realizing something was wrong.

She is now penniless and without any guards to protect her. How can she escape?

At this critical moment, a clear voice came from afar:

"Stop! You bastards, how dare you harass an innocent woman in broad daylight!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a person dressed in a tight-fitting outfit.

A spirited woman, riding a fine horse, galloped towards them.

The person who arrived was none other than Princess Mingyue!

She brandished a long whip, lashing it fiercely at the group of men.

"Smack!"

With a sharp crack, the leader was beaten until his skin was torn and bleeding. He screamed in pain and fell to the ground, clutching his face.

"Where did this brat come from, daring to meddle in my business!"

Seeing this, the other men brandished their clubs and rushed towards Princess Mingyue.

Princess Mingyue was not afraid and spurred her horse into the air.

With a graceful spin in the air, the long whip danced like a serpent, lashing several men to the ground.

The guards behind her also appeared, each one agile and skilled.

They got into a fight with those thugs and hooligans.

Princess Mingyue was highly skilled in martial arts, and her long whip was wielded with unparalleled prowess.

The whip flashed, and the thugs were all knocked to the ground, howling in pain.
