Chapter 102: Accomplishing You
Li Jingming had been talking to himself and didn't notice that Shen Yixue's expression was not right. He stopped until he didn't hear Shen Yixue's response.
"Yixue, what's wrong with you?" Li Jingming looked at Shen Yixue with a little confusion on his face, "Are you unhappy? Or, in fact, you are not happy with me-"
When he said this, a trace of displeasure flashed through his heart.
Could it be that he has been the only one who has been sentimental all along? Otherwise, why does Shen Yixue look unhappy now?
"No, I like you."
After saying that, Shen Yixue's face flushed uncontrollably, and she continued, "It's just that this matter happened too suddenly, so I couldn't react for a while. Besides, what if I don't get first place in this national calligraphy and painting competition? What should I do then?"
"How could that be?" Li Jingming was full of confidence. "Yixue, I believe you can do it. You are so talented in painting, no one can compare to you. You will definitely win first place in this calligraphy and painting competition."
At this point, he smiled a little sheepishly before continuing, "Actually, I wanted to tell you this a long time ago. I was just worried that you would feel pressured and that it would affect your performance, which would be bad. That's why I held back until now."
Shen Yixue nodded and said nothing.
However, where Li Jingming didn't see, a glimmer of determination flashed in Shen Yixue's eyes.
She was determined to win at this moment. No matter what, she had to take first place in this competition. No matter what means she used, she was determined to win.
After a bumpy ride, the group finally stopped in a small town in City X to rest.
At night, it was boring to stay in the room, so Zhong Nian Yao left the hotel and went out for a walk.
Although it is a small town, it is still quite lively at night. Zhong Nianyao strolled along the road and would stop to take a look when she came across something interesting.
This small town was relatively unknown and located in a remote area. The sudden appearance of a beautiful woman with both outstanding looks and temperament naturally attracted a lot of attention. Of course, some of these glances were not well-intentioned.
Zhong Nianyao's lips curled up into an intrigued smile as she slowly walked towards a secluded place. She only turned around and walked back after entering a small alley with no way out.
However, before they had gone far, they were stopped by a few thugs.
"Little sister, you seem bored!" One of the hooligans walked up with a lewd smile and said, "Why don't you play with the brothers?"
"Oh, are you guys trying to stop me?" Zhong Nianyao raised an eyebrow, no trace of panic on her face. "Okay, I'm bored anyway, so why not have some fun with you guys!"
Seeing Zhong Nianyao so calm, the gangsters were stunned for a moment. Because the women they met before, when faced with such situations, they would scream and try to escape.
However, they immediately burst into laughter, and when they looked at Zhong Nian Yao, their eyes became even more explicit.
No matter what the woman in front of them was up to, they didn't care. With so many of them, were they afraid of a weak little woman?
"We really got a great bargain today." A gangster said with a lewd smile, "Little sister, since you want to have some fun with us, we will definitely fulfill your wish."
"Haha, I didn't expect that I'd be so lucky today, meeting such a rare talent." Another thug also spoke up, "This life is truly worth it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other thugs burst into laughter.
Zhong Nianyao's expression remained unchanged. She looked at the group of thugs and suddenly asked, "How many times have you done this?"
The sudden question made the hooligans laugh even more happily.
"Little sister, I didn't expect you to be jealous before it even starts!" A gangster said slickly, "Don't worry, no matter how many women we've had before, you're the one we love the most!"
"Yes! Yes! After all, there are really not many beauties like you in the world!"
"It seems that he has done a lot of evil."
Zhong Nianyao nodded, then a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said, "But, before you do something bad, don't you ask around? Aren't you afraid of offending someone you shouldn't?"
"Little sister, are you telling us that we can't afford to offend you because of your identity?" One of the thugs said nonchalantly, "You're just an outsider, no matter how powerful your identity is. Here, even if you're a dragon, you have to coil up and even if you're a tiger, you have to lie down."
Another thug stroked his chin, his smile becoming increasingly obscene. "To die beneath the peony flowers is to be a romantic ghost. Little sister, a beauty like you, it would be our honor if we could die in your hands, wouldn't you agree?"
The other gangsters responded one after another.
"Since you want to die at my hands, then of course I will grant your wish!"
The smile on Zhong Nianyao's face grew even brighter. "Although your request is a bit strange, I'm a good person and I will definitely not refuse you."
As he spoke, a chilly wind blew in. It was a hot summer day, but it made people feel an inexplicable chill.
Those little hooligans couldn't help but shudder. When they looked at Zhong Nian Yao again, their eyes no longer had the arrogance as before, but instead contained a hint of vigilance.
"Since you guys want to have some fun, let's have some fun today!"
The smile on Zhong Nianyao's lips was mixed with a bit of chill. She blinked and then took out a piece of talisman paper.
The talisman paper combusted without fire, and suddenly exploded when it came in front of the gangsters.
From the moment the talisman appeared, the hooligans had felt an unprecedented threat. They wanted to leave, but found that their feet were nailed to the ground, unable to move at all.
When the talisman paper exploded in front of them, they began to regret it.
This woman was truly bizarre. They should have discovered this earlier. How could she remain so calm after encountering something like this? It turned out they had truly hit a wall this time.
