"Miss Chen, is this your first day out here? You don't even know the most basic rules?" Boss Zhang said with a tut-tut sound, as if he'd just heard the biggest joke in the world. "After entering a place like the Forgotten Dream Courtyard, it's impossible to escape unscathed! I advise you to be obedient. From now on, I, Old Zhang, will definitely not treat you unfairly!"
Chen Lele's face turned pale instantly. She took two steps back and said, "I don't want to be with you. I'm not yours!"
"Are you drinking a toast and then drinking a penalty?" Boss Zhang's face instantly darkened. He turned to the thugs behind him and ordered, "Take him away!"
The thugs immediately surrounded them.
Although Chen Lele's strength improved after becoming a half-demon, he was no match for this group of thugs. He was quickly pinned down by them and dragged out of the rental house.
Chen Lele was filled with only despair and regret at this moment. If she had known that entering the Dream Courtyard would be the result, she would have rather lived with the Lion Demon. At least the Lion Demon treated her wholeheartedly and was constantly trying to give her a good life.
She suddenly missed the honest middle-aged man who tried to please her in everything and tolerated her temper unconditionally and without any bottom line!
Just as Chen Lele was about to be pulled out of the slums, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him: "Let her go!"
Chen Lele turned around excitedly, and it was indeed a lion demon.
At this moment, the lion demon was no longer a mediocre-looking, useless guy in her eyes. He was the only hero who could save her from danger, and he was the kind of hero with his own flash. She had never discovered that the lion demon could be so handsome.
"Who are you?" Boss Zhang looked at the lion demon in confusion.
"I am her husband, let her go!" the lion demon shouted sternly, his voice was rough and loud like a bell, as if it could burst people's eardrums.
"Husband? I've never heard that Miss Chen has a husband!" Boss Zhang's face twitched, and then he smiled disdainfully, "Even if you are her husband, so what? She is mine now. It has nothing to do with you. If you know what's good for you, get out of here right now, or don't blame me for being rude!"
The lion demon was furious, his eyes were bloodshot, and his huge body was instantly enveloped by surging demonic energy. At the same time, his voice became even stronger and carried the demonic power of a demon king: "Let her go!" Before he finished speaking, the lion demon had quickly transformed into a giant lion and pounced towards the group of people who had imprisoned Chen Lele.
Seeing this, Boss Zhang was not afraid but excited. He said, "So it's a demon? And a demon king! I haven't seen a demon king in a long time! Capture it quickly, I will reward you handsomely!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the thugs no longer cared about Chen Lele and attacked the lion demon.
Different from the moves that attacked Chen Lele just now, the dozen or so thugs suddenly became organized, disciplined and in tacit understanding. They knew who was in which position, who would attack first and who would come in later, all in an orderly manner.
The lion demon was full of confidence at first, because it was obvious that those thugs were no match for him at all. But as the fight went on, things changed. He gradually felt exhausted and even had a tendency to fall behind.
The lion demon hurriedly shouted to Chen Lele, who was standing still, "Lele, run, run!"
Chen Lele finally came to his senses, turned around and ran away.
At this time, Boss Zhang was only interested in the lion demon. When he saw Chen Lele running away, he just looked at him with contempt and did not chase him. So Chen Lele escaped very successfully and ran out of the slums in a short while!
