After taking care of his business, Nan Wusi became idle again.
He spent his days either chatting with his grandmother and mother at home or wandering aimlessly in the streets, living a fairly comfortable life.
That day, Nan Wusi decided to visit Hu Zi again. So she and Ye Zi went to the street and bought bags and bags of things to take to Hu Zi and the others.
This time, the two of them found themselves completely alone on their way to the slums, which puzzled Nan Wusi. Previously, no matter which alley they entered, they always saw people secretly watching them.
While puzzled, Nan Wusi also became secretly on guard. However, when she arrived at Hu Zi's house and found a group of children and Hu Zi in the yard, with a girl standing in the middle, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, isn't that Ouyang Xinxi, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion? What's she doing here?" Nan Wusi asked, puzzled.
Before she could figure it out, she found herself surrounded by a group of people. There were about a dozen of them, all carrying knives or sticks, and judging from their clothes, they seemed to be local thugs or hooligans.
The man in the lead strode forward and said in a sleazy tone, "Miss, I've finally been waiting for you, the big fish. If you know what's good for you, hand over all your valuables. Otherwise, these swords don't have eyes. It wouldn't be good if something happened and you got hurt. Don't you agree, miss?"
"This is bad," Nan Wusi thought. "She didn't bring anything valuable with her, and with so many people, she can't possibly defeat them even if her martial arts haven't recovered."
"Miss, these clueless people actually tried to rob us! How are you going to deal with them?" Ye Zi, that simpleton, blurted it out so casually.
The group's expressions instantly changed, becoming even more ferocious. The leader pointed his knife directly at Nan Wusi.
"Xiao Ba, quickly open the learning system for me and then teach me martial arts," Nan Wusi urged, knowing that things were probably beyond repair now.
"Host, your beauty score is insufficient to activate," Xiao Badi's mechanical voice coldly rejected her.
"Damn it, you're telling me my beauty score is too low at a time like this? It's a matter of life and death!" Nan Wusi cursed, she hadn't expected the system to be so unreliable at a time like this.
"Can I borrow some of your beauty points? I'll repay you double in the future," Nan Wusi said eagerly.
Xiao Ba paused for a second, then replied, "Okay."
"Learning system activated, beginner martial arts learned." As Xiao Ba announced, Nan Wusi felt a surge of heat flow through her body, and many images flashed through her mind like slides, as if those martial arts moves were already imprinted in her mind.
The group of thugs were completely baffled to see that Nan Wusi not only wasn't afraid but had also closed his eyes. Just as the leader was getting impatient, Nan Wusi suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with horror, which made the leader tremble.
After realizing what had happened, he became enraged and raised his knife to strike.
"Watch out!" Ouyang Xinxi, who was standing in the courtyard, suddenly screamed.
With a scream, Nan Wusi launched a counterattack, and the scene became chaotic. The original owner of this body always had the habit of carrying a whip, but Nan Wusi didn't know martial arts, so she hadn't carried a whip in a long time, which put her at a disadvantage.
Fortunately, the original owner of this body had practiced martial arts since childhood and was very solid. Now, with the help of the system, Nan Wusi was able to master these skills, and she gradually became familiar with them in her fights with this group of thugs.
With his powerful internal strength and advanced techniques, Nan Wusi quickly beat the group of thugs to a pulp, leaving them sprawled on the ground crying in pain.
After everyone had fallen, Nan Wusi strode up to the leader and stepped on him with his cloth boots: "Will you dare to cause trouble again?"
"No, no, I wouldn't dare," the man hurriedly replied.
"Get lost!" Nan Wusi kicked the man again. Mainly, she'd always seen this in martial arts movies after the main characters defeated the bad guys, and she thought it was incredibly cool. She never imagined she'd actually be able to do it herself someday.
Don't let her fierce appearance fool you; she's actually having a blast inside. She feels like she has a violent streak, haha.
Of course, just like the villains in TV dramas, this group of thugs met the same fate, running away in a panic.
"Sister Nan is so cool!" After the thugs ran away, a group of children surrounded Nan Wusi and praised her all at once.
"Miss Nan, you're so cool!" Ouyang Xinxi followed over, her eyes sparkling.
"Haha, not at all," Nan Wusi said shyly.
"As expected of Miss, you're amazing!" Ye Zi also came over and flattered her with a beaming smile.
"You little brat, if you talk nonsense again, I'll beat you up." Nan Wusi gave Ye Zi a flick on the forehead. If Ye Zi hadn't spoken out of turn today, she might have only lost a little money. Instead, she now owes the system a huge debt.
"Miss, I was wrong. I promise I won't talk nonsense again." Ye Zi admitted her mistake quickly, and her aggrieved appearance made it hard to punish her.
Watching the interaction between the two, Ouyang Xinxi stood to the side, her eyes filled with envy. Nan Wusi, seeing this, immediately thought of how difficult her life in the Prime Minister's residence must have been.
"Miss Ouyang, what brings you here?" Nan Wusi asked.
“I…I…” Ouyang Xinxi stammered for a long time after suddenly hearing Nan Wusi’s question.
“Sister Ouyang comes to play with us every now and then,” Tiger answered for Ouyang Xinxi after hearing this. “However, Sister Nan missed Sister Ouyang the last two times she came.”
