Luo Zexuan was only at the third level of Qi Refining. He hadn't learned any spells or sword control. Qi Refining had only improved his physical fitness, but he was still a soldier, so his skills were not bad.
Moreover, he was very clever; he wrapped his hands in spiritual energy and clashed with their internal energy.
His opponents were all experts, having reached the Innate Realm for many years, and in terms of cultivation level, they were even higher than Luo Zexuan. However, their spiritual power and internal energy were not on the same level, so they barely managed to fight to a draw.
Lin Qianqian was furious at the sight. The pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator was released without warning, instantly making everyone at the door unable to breathe or move. Xiao Die and the other ordinary people who had never practiced martial arts were even worse off, almost collapsing to the ground.
Lin Qianqian had no choice but to suppress her anger and withdraw her aura. She then drew the Yi Wood Thunder Whip from her waist and lashed out at the group fighting with Luo Zexuan.
She had already tried her best to restrain her strength with one whip each. But even though these people were experts, they couldn't withstand her light lash and immediately fainted.
Then the guard who was holding Xiaodie was also whipped, and he flew backward, landing at his master's feet.
Lin Qianqian then had a chance to look at the leader, who was wearing a prince's python robe. Judging from his gloomy face and cloudy eyes, he should be another prince who was still alive.
The other party was taken aback for a moment when he saw Lin Qianqian act so swiftly. However, he quickly recovered and stared at Lin Qianqian, saying, "You are the owner of this mall? I am the second prince of the current dynasty. I came here to buy things, and these servants dare to be so ungrateful as to stop me."
When Xiaodie saw Lin Qianqian arrive, she finally found her pillar of support. Her legs went weak and she scrambled up behind her to explain what had happened.
The matter wasn't complicated; this dim-witted second prince was carrying a bag of gold and wanted to buy the entire mall. Luo Zexuan, who happened to be on the first floor, naturally disagreed, and after a few words, he started fighting with the second prince's men.
Luo Zexuan was a mall employee and was protected by the mall. The person who attacked him was immediately struck unconscious by lightning that appeared out of nowhere.
In the chaos, Xiaodie was slapped and grabbed by another of the Second Prince's men, but no lightning struck the man. At that moment, they began to understand what was going on.
Taking advantage of the situation, they used Xiaodie as a hostage to lure Luo Zexuan out of the mall. Luo Zexuan, a former soldier, was driven by a sense of duty that led him to bravely chase after her and rescue her, even though he knew it was a trap.
When the guards of the Fifth Prince's residence saw Luo Zexuan fighting with someone, they went to help. However, the Second Prince had brought many skilled fighters, and they quickly defeated all of the Fifth Prince's guards.
Lin Qianqian was furious when she saw Xiaodie's swollen and bleeding face. Without saying a word, she lashed out with her whip and knocked down the rest of the men in a few quick moves.
Then she threw out a small tree, which immediately grew to over ten meters tall upon landing. That's right, this was the vine tree that Lin Qianqian had nurtured using her wood elemental power in the supernatural world. When she left the supernatural world, Lin Qianqian took it with her.
I had been keeping it in my online space, but then another unbelievable thing happened, so I had to take it out again and hang it up like a human flesh candy.
Lin Qianqian cursed the Second Prince in her heart, and wondered how he could have survived the infighting among the princes with such a brain.
Was it luck? Or was it because he was stupid?
Lin Qianqian ordered the vine tree to entangle the Second Prince and his group and hang them on the tree, telling it to be careful not to kill them with its poisonous thorns or drain their blood, as she still had a use for them.
The Fifth Prince witnessed Lin Qianqian's miraculous abilities once again. He was glad that he hadn't made the same foolish mistake as his Second Brother and had managed to suppress his greed in time; otherwise, he would have been imprisoned as well.
He was now somewhat gloating over his second brother's fate, wishing he could stay dead a little longer. But for both public and private reasons, he had to plead for his brother's life and not let him die in his palace.
"Fairy Lin, I apologize on behalf of my second brother. Could you spare his life?"
Lin Qianqian said irritably, "If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for? Stop talking nonsense and tell his mansion to bring 100,000 taels of gold to ransom him, or he'll become fertilizer for the vine tree."
Although the Fifth Prince did not know who the police were, seeing how angry Lin Qianqian was, he dared not say anything more.
However, upon hearing the price of 100,000 taels of gold, the second prince on the tree began to curse loudly, twisting and turning his body in an attempt to break free from the vines' hold. But the more he struggled, the tighter the vines became, digging into his flesh and causing him to howl in pain.
Lin Qianqian simply let the vines gag him too, and now he really turned into cured meat.
After doing all that, she turned and went into the mall. She took out a first-aid kit from the mall and had the injured people treat their wounds. She then took out a Vitality Pill, dissolved it in mineral water, and had each of them drink a small cup.
Finally, each of the injured guards was given five taels of gold and told to go back and rest. Xiaodie was also helped by another girl to the fifth floor to have her medicine applied.
The onlookers were even more in awe of Lin Qianqian after seeing her handle the situation so quickly and use her supernatural abilities to hang the ruthless Second Prince on a tree that appeared out of nowhere.
The scattered crowd, assured by the Fifth Prince, regrouped and lined up to enter the mall to buy things.
Lin Qianqian was furious. Why did she always encounter such an idiot in every world, who just kept causing her trouble?
"Your second brother is both stupid and greedy. How has he managed to survive until now?" Lin Qianqian was still angry, and her tone was not very good.
Although the Fifth Prince was a prince and would soon be the emperor, he still dared not treat Lin Qianqian badly.
Not only because his family was in the wrong, but also because of Lin Qianqian's special status, he could only carefully choose his words and explain: "My second brother is the son of the Imperial Concubine, whose family holds a high position and great power. The Imperial Concubine's father is the Left Prime Minister of the court, who is very shrewd and resourceful. My second brother listens to his maternal grandfather more."
"Then why did he come here today to do such a stupid thing? Did his grandfather instruct him to do it?"
"Hmm, probably not." The Fifth Prince didn't know what to say, so he could only vaguely reply, "I heard that the Left Prime Minister has been bedridden for some time now..."
"Oh, I see. Without the headband, the monkey goes wild. No, calling him a monkey is an insult to monkeys. He's just a fool, a human impurity."
The Fifth Prince had no answer to this; he hadn't expected the fairy to curse.
More than an hour later, Zhang Laodao had roughly checked all the martial arts manuals that the Fifth Prince had brought. They were mostly beginner and intermediate martial arts manuals, with a few advanced ones, and also a few recipes for injury medicine.
Lin Qianqian asked the Fifth Prince what he wanted to exchange, and handed him a catalog of both physical and technical items as she asked.
The Fifth Prince wanted to exchange everything. Not to mention the readily available clothes and food, Tianwu was desperately in need of these things.
He wanted everything: salt-making, sugar-making, oil-pressing methods; glass, soap, and cement formulas; papermaking and printing techniques; formulas for special medicines; smallpox prevention; high-yield grain varieties, and so on. He wanted them all, he wanted them all, he wanted them all so badly!
There were also glittering lamps, transparent glassware, and all sorts of convenient items. I've also heard there's something magical, called the "Superpower Fruit," which grants the user supernatural abilities after consumption…
Lin Qianqian looked at him like he was an idiot. What are you thinking?
