The store manager was tall and strong, so it was easy for him to dodge attacks from below.
He was enraged by Li Qiusheng's behavior, and the two started fighting.
Two waiters in the kitchen were busy helping the manager beat up Li Qiusheng.
Seeing this, Sha Feng picked up her red-tasseled spear and joined the battle.
The spearhead darted and flicked among the four men, skillfully scaring away the shopkeeper and the others, leaving Li Qiusheng alone behind the gleaming spearhead.
Sha Feng pulled Li Qiusheng behind her and deftly holstered her gun: "Sorry, my friend acted impulsively. Let's go!"
The last four words were spoken to Li Qiusheng.
Li Qiusheng reluctantly pointed at the trembling woman and said, "This shady shop is bullying people. I'm taking her with me."
Sha Feng glanced at the woman, who seemed somewhat familiar. Feeling sorry for her, she wanted to help her leave, so she said gently, "Please pay the bill and leave with us."
The woman reached for her items based on the price list, but the store manager persisted: "Twenty!"
The store manager and the woman started arguing and fighting again.
The shop manager said fiercely, "I insist you ate twenty. If you disagree, cut open your belly and we'll count them!"
The woman was frightened by the shop manager's fierce demeanor and dared not argue any further, so she had no choice but to suffer in silence.
Sha Feng flicked her spear, the long spear moving as fast as a silver snake, aiming straight for the shopkeeper's eyes.
The shopkeeper only saw a flash of cold light, and all he could see was a glint of silver. Even though the silver light stopped right in front of him and didn't come any closer, his heart was still pounding with fear.
“I’ll gouge out your eyeballs and put them inside her stomach, so you can see for yourself how many rabbit heads she eats, shall we?” Sha Feng said coldly.
The shop manager gripped the gun barrel tremblingly, pressed it down, and said defiantly, "She's a lowly person, why are you protecting her?! I'm not going to look anymore, let's compromise, I'll charge you ten."
This person's repeated unreasonable harassment finally angered Sha Feng.
She gave Li Qiusheng a wink, signaling him to cover their retreat, then retracted the spearhead and thrust it upwards, aiming straight for the shopkeeper's right eye.
This time, Sha Feng showed no mercy.
The store manager covered his eyes and wailed. One waiter went to help him up, while another rushed to the door to close it.
The customers dining in the restaurant couldn't sit still any longer and rushed out in droves.
One waiter was no match for so many people. Sha Feng grabbed the woman, squeezed to the back of the store, and sped away on his motorcycle.
Li Qiusheng burrowed into the ground and chased after the roaring sound.
The car and the person drove straight out of the small town before slowing down slightly.
Li Qiusheng clung to the back seat of the car, leaped onto the motorcycle, and complained, "If I had known we were going to take action, I wouldn't have left him any supplies."
Sha Feng: "Just think of it as leaving him some money for his eye exam."
Li Qiusheng smiled and asked the woman sandwiched between the two, "Miss, what's your name? Do you have a place to stay? We've gotten ourselves into trouble, we can't go back now."
"My name is Yan Chun. Thank you all for your help. I heard you mention Taotie City earlier. Are you going to Taotie City? My home is there."
"Hey, come on, we're quite destined to meet!" Thinking that the Yan Chun he had saved was from Taotie City, Li Qiusheng's slight guilt about possibly causing trouble instantly vanished.
Having escaped the shady inn, Yan Chun felt relieved and said with a smile, "When we get to Taotie City, I'll treat you to authentic cold-cooked rabbit at the Treasure Restaurant."
Li Qiusheng smiled but said nothing.
Remembering the black market shopkeeper saying that Yan Chun was a low-class person, he meant that Yan Chun was not an evolved being, so why was she running around everywhere instead of staying in Taotie City?
The two chatted for a few minutes, and Li Qiusheng learned that Yan Chun was not an ordinary worker, but a novelist.
Yan Chun "works" at the food and amusement park and has a special VIP gold card signed by a teenager. Not only can she enjoy all the food and rides in the park, but she can also receive a guaranteed monthly salary and a commission for telling stories from the teenager.
Her storytelling was so good that the boy became a loyal fan of Yan Chun.
Yan Chun's trip was also to gather inspiration. She dared not go far, only venturing into the cities surrounding Taotie City to experience life, but unexpectedly, she still encountered danger.
Sha Feng suddenly interjected, "Is your pen name Chunyan?"
"Yes, how did you know?"
Sha Feng's ears turned red.
The boy especially loved Chunyan's stories, so he specially compiled her stories into a book and stored them in his memory, hoping that Bu Yi could help him make a book about it.
During that time, Bu Yi was very busy. Fortunately, Xia Chuhe handed Sha Feng over to Bu Yi so that he could do whatever he wanted with her. Bu Yi then entrusted Sha Feng with the small matter of publishing the book.
It was a collection of fairy tales set in a post-apocalyptic world. The stories were both adorable and cruel, so much so that Sha Feng printed several copies to keep as her own treasures.
I never expected to meet the author in person today...
Yan Chun said, "What you just said was really cool. Can I use you as a model and write you into a story?"
Now, not only were Sha Feng's ears red, but her neck was also completely red.
"Y-yes," Sha Feng stammered.
Li Qiusheng laughed and said, "Oh, oh, oh, Feng'er, you're so embarrassed!"
"Shut up!" Sha Feng dared to raise her voice at Li Qiusheng, but when facing Yan Chun, she became like a buzzing mosquito. "I...you...can you sign my book?"
The wind and sand were strong, and Yan Chun couldn't hear clearly. She wanted to rest her ear on Sha Feng's shoulder, but Sha Feng was too big, so she could only lean against his back and listen to his pounding heartbeat.
Yan Chun asked loudly, "What did you say? I didn't hear you."
Sha Feng: "Could you sign my book?"
...
Although they were delayed at the black market, the three of them still arrived at Taotie City as night fell.
The outer city was pitch black and silent, with only occasional voices coming from a few inns.
