Chapter 1614 One Extra Question

"Hmm... Ah? Ah?!"

In the blink of an eye, Yuan Shilei saw Ruan Yu land back on the ground and join the long queue, standing in line obediently.

Yuan Shilei didn't understand, but he respected her decision. He stepped down, intending to be placed after Ruan Yu.

But a big fat man beat him to it.

"Um, she's my friend. Can I switch seats with you?"

The fat man turned around, and his huge stomach sent Yuan Shilei flying.

I had to take several steps back before I could barely stand.

"Your friend? Even if your parents were here, you'd have to wait in line!" The fat man said rudely and aggressively.

Adhering to the principle of "it's better to avoid trouble," Yuan Shilei said nothing more.

At worst, we can just wait in line a little longer; there's only one person in between anyway.

Unexpectedly, when the queue was halfway through, the fat man suddenly started picking a fight, but it wasn't with Yuan Shilei.

He reached out to Ruan Yu's shoulder: "Beauty, what is your relationship with the person behind me?"

Although he was behind Ruan Yu in line, the fat man couldn't see Ruan Yu's face.

But just by looking at her back and the herbal scent emanating from her, the fat man was certain that she was an exceptional woman, one in a hundred!

"Show me some respect!" Yuan Shilei was keeping a close eye on Ruan Yu, and he was standing right behind the fat man. Did he think he could let Ruan Yu be taken advantage of?

Yuan Shilei reached out and grabbed the fat man's arm, but it was too fat, and he couldn't hold on at all. He could only barely pry at a little bit of the fat man's flesh.

"Skinny monkey! What's it to you!" The fat man trembled, exuding a terrifying aura that forced Yuan Shilei to retreat.

The people queuing around them consciously spread out to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

"The beauty hasn't said anything yet, so why are you barking like a dog?" The fat man smirked greasyly. "Maybe the beauty just likes my type?"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone's faces showed expressions of disgust and suspicion.

Ruan Yu then turned around.

The fat man glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, then stared at it as if he had seen some rare treasure, his eyes shining!

This, this, this!

Could there really be such a stunning beauty in the world?

Hu the Fat has traveled all over the country for years. What kind of woman hasn't he had? He considers himself to have long lost interest in women. What's that word again?

Utterly tasteless! Yes, utterly tasteless!

He had just flirted with Ruan Yu, but only to provoke Yuan Shilei; he wasn't actually lustful.

But now, seeing Ruan Yu's beauty, he has made up his mind: he will pursue her relentlessly!

"My lord." Yuan Shilei jogged toward Ruan Yu.

Knowing he was no match for Fatty Hu, he stopped standing there and taking the beating.

"Oh, hiding behind a woman, acting like a coward?" Fatty Hu looked at this scene with curiosity.

He didn't think Ruan Yu was that strong.

"You should be glad that your hand didn't touch me just now."

Ruan Yu glanced meaningfully at Fatty Hu's right hand.

Just now, he touched her with this hand.

If Yuan Shilei hadn't suddenly appeared, Fatty Hu would probably be cosplaying Yang Guo right now! (Just kidding!)

Fatty Hu's playful expression vanished instantly. He vaguely realized that Ruan Yu wasn't joking or boasting!

She really does have that ability!

Therefore, Fatty Hu didn't dare to continue causing trouble, and he didn't even care when Yuan Shilei ran in front of him.

Soon, it was Ruan Yu's turn in the queue.

Ruan Yu noticed that everyone entering the city had to hand over ten mid-grade soul stones. She was about to hand over the soul stones she had painstakingly collected (she had no choice; her spatial storage was full of top-grade soul stones, and even high-grade soul stones were hard to find. These ten mid-grade soul stones were what she had salvaged from her past spoils).

But then the guard said with ill intent, "You troublemakers, you dare to enter the city?"

"Since you're good-looking, how about we let you go if you spend one night with us?"

After the guard finished speaking, he reached out to touch Ruan Yu's face.

Several guards nearby also approached with smiles.

They had been eyeing Ruan Yu for a long time, and were just wondering how to detain her! Unexpectedly, these people's public disturbance gave them a convenient excuse.

Yuan Shilei clenched his fingers, too nervous to utter a sound. He lowered his head slightly, but his eyes darted forward.

I wonder how horribly these guards will die in a little while!

"Thud!" Several sounds of things hitting the ground were heard.

The sound wasn't loud, but it seemed exceptionally loud in the quiet atmosphere.

The guards, the people queuing to enter the city, and even those who had already entered, all subconsciously looked down.

The guards were completely devastated at just one glance!

All ten of their fingers had fallen to the ground! How could this be? It must be a hallucination, right?

Just as their thoughts were churning, they were struck by repeated pains that nearly knocked them unconscious!

"Ouch!! That hurts!"

"My hand, my hand! You bitch! Did you do this?!" The guards wanted to beat Ruan Yu, but the pain was too intense, and the wound was still bleeding profusely.

They could only take the elixir first.

But without fingers, I'm not flexible! And because of the intense pain, I can't even gather my divine power.

One by one, they couldn't even open the spatial artifacts.

Ruan Yu glanced at them coldly, placed the prepared soul stones on the table, and walked straight into the city in front of them.

Seeing this, Yuan Shilei quickly followed suit and went inside.

Fatty Hu was dumbfounded.

He didn't see when Ruan Yu made her move at all, but he was certain that it was Ruan Yu who made the move!

Such speed! And... such strength!

He now felt like he had escaped a disaster. Fortunately, his intentions were interrupted by Yuan Shilei, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Thinking about this, Fatty Hu felt a sense of gratitude towards Yuan Shilei!

"Young friend, you injured one of my men without cause, and you think you can just walk away like this?" No sooner had Ruan Yu entered Black Night City than an old man with a white beard appeared out of thin air at the city gate.

He fed the guards pills.

The guards went on and on, smearing Ruan Yu's actions as extremely heinous, claiming they were only forced to intervene to stop her and her companions' misdeeds, and so on...

"That's not how it is!" Fatty Hu stepped forward and explained, "The three of us did have a bit of a verbal altercation, but we didn't fight. It was clearly these guards who were lusting after this woman's beauty!"

The white-bearded old man said, "Nonsense! These men are my subordinates, and I know their character better than anyone!"

"Put all three of them in jail!"

Ruan Yu laughed: "Old Deng, didn't you see everything that happened from heaven?"

"If you want to arrest someone, just say so. Why bother asking again?"

The white-bearded old man's heart pounded. He had hidden himself so well, yet he had been discovered.

Should we still arrest this person?
