Xu Nian frowned and looked over, only to find a group of unfamiliar figures.
She glanced instinctively at her side.
Xu Nian was mainly out to make money today, so she didn't ask Gu Zhan to accompany her. Instead, she instructed him to keep an eye on the remaining villagers.
So behind her were mostly defenseless young women or middle-aged women.
The group of people arrogantly glanced around, and then the leader stepped forward with a disdainful look on his face.
"I heard you're selling wraps here? Did you get my permission?!"
The speaker was named Yang Shengwen, a subordinate of the city lord, and a notorious rogue.
The city lord entrusted him with some real power, which was very effective in intimidating disobedient commoners or former nobles.
So, over time, Yang Shengwen almost gained the same level of power as Brother Li.
Distributing porridge, a lucrative business, naturally fell under his jurisdiction.
He only needs to take out a little rice every day to earn at least two taels of silver. Isn't that wonderful?
But today, as usual, he came to collect the money, only to find that there were only a few copper coins, which made him furious.
Yang Shengwen inquired around and followed the clues to Xu Nian's side.
Xu Nian looked at the unreasonable Yang Shengwen and asked calmly, "Why do I need your permission?"
"Yo ho!"
Yang Shengwen licked his lips and said with interest, "You're a pretty hot chick, I like that. I'll give you a chance, play with me for a bit, and I'll let them go."
As he spoke, Yang Shengwen gave a wink to his subordinates behind him.
Instantly, his men, wielding long spears, approached menacingly, shouting, "Ha!"
This shout startled the people behind Xu Nian, and they all turned pale.
Yang Shengwen looked at it with satisfaction, and casually tossed his hair, asking, "How is it?"
Looking at his greasy appearance, Xu Nian felt nauseous and rolled her eyes at him.
"Ordinary male."
[Hahahaha, this is hilarious, streamer!]
Does he not know what "ordinary man" means?
[Another clueless person has messed with the streamer. Poor thing.]
Yang Shengwen genuinely didn't know what a "Puxin man" was, and pointed at himself with a look of astonishment, "What 'xin'...? Oh, you're praising my good looks, right!"
His mind raced instantly, and his eyes gleamed with smugness.
Xu Nian was too lazy to waste words with him and got straight to the point, "If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now. Goodbye."
After saying that, Xu Nian didn't look back and led everyone to walk back.
Seeing this, Yang Shengwen couldn't stand it anymore. He immediately walked up to Xu Nian, his face contorted with rage.
"I'm only talking to you out of politeness, so don't push your luck!"
He spent his days holed up at home collecting money, so naturally he hadn't heard of Xu Nian's reputation that had been circulating these past few days, and subconsciously assumed that she was just a weak little girl.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian clicked her tongue and looked up, "Have you ever heard the saying?"
"What did you say?"
Yang Shengwen scratched his head in suspicion.
Xu Nian's expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. "A good dog doesn't block the way."
Upon hearing this, veins bulged on Yang Shengwen's face, and he pointed at her nose in disbelief, "You, I think you want to die!"
After speaking, Yang Shengwen pulled a knife from his subordinate's hand and swung it fiercely at Xu Nian.
"Today I'll show you who I am!"
With Yang Shengwen's furious roar, the knife swiftly swept towards Xu Nian's front.
Everyone stared in shock at the scene before them, filled with worry.
Some onlookers couldn't stand it anymore and secretly went back to find some men to come over.
Xu Nian, who was in the very center, remained calm and unhurried, and slapped out a talisman with her hand.
Yang Shengwen's steps faltered instantly, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The terrifying-looking swords and knives fell limply to the ground with a barely audible sound.
"bite."
Yang Shengwen stared blankly at his falling body, not understanding what had happened for a moment.
He was standing perfectly fine, so why did he suddenly fall down?
Yang Shengwen subconsciously looked at the ground beneath his feet. The ground was perfectly flat, and there was nothing to trip him up!
Thinking this, Yang Shengwen stood up defiantly and roared again, "You little bitch, what tricks did you use?"
This time, Yang Shengwen didn't grab a weapon; instead, he used his bare hands to smash into Xu Nian.
However, Xu Nian simply turned her body slightly to the side and dodged Yang Shengwen's self-assured and sure-win attack.
"How is that possible!"
Yang Shengwen was completely stunned.
If it happened only once, it could be explained as luck.
But this woman has dodged my attacks time and time again. Could it be that she knows martial arts?
Xu Nian had no idea how he guessed her, and just muttered a complaint to herself.
Do men in this era only know one way to attack?
The people who picked on her the last few times also shouted loudly, but their movements were so slow it was like a replay, making it hard not to dodge!
[The streamer's commentary is hilarious, hahaha!]
[Why didn't the streamer bring some high-tech weaponry? They could have just crushed them all!]
[Why bother with high-tech weapons? The streamer's spells are the most powerful!]
The viewers in the live stream were very excited and sent a barrage of comments and criticisms.
Xu Nian ignored them and turned to look at Yang Shengwen, who was still in a state of astonishment.
"We're running a legitimate business. If you're not as skilled, whose fault is it?"
These simple and clear words immediately struck a nerve with Yang Shengwen.
