Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Lin Xiaoyue's fighting style was full of punches, without any rhythmic exclamations or curses. Every punch could splash a string of blood. Such a fierce fighting style seemed to be ready to kill people at any time.

The scene was so brutal that the villagers who were watching were stunned.

Is this still the same weak Lin Xiaoyue who was bullied and oppressed by others?

The madam was also dumbfounded. Her face was full of astonishment and shock. There was no trace of the arrogance she had just shown. She felt a cold and sharp gaze piercing her like needles, and her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Lin Xiaoyue enjoyed the astonishment in the madam's eyes with great interest, and asked her in a relaxed tone, "How is it? Do you still want to buy us sisters now?"

It was a simple and ordinary sentence, but it made the temperature of the madam's body drop to zero degrees in an instant. She shrank her neck in fear, put on a flattering smile, and responded angrily, "How dare I, I don't dare, I don't dare, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding? How could it be a misunderstanding? Didn't someone just want to buy me and my second sister for one and a half taels of silver? The money has been paid!"

"Haha, that's not...that's...is..." The madam was speechless for a moment, her eyes rolling around in anxiety, afraid that a wrong answer would provoke this female Rakshasa to start a killing spree again. She didn't want to risk her life in this remote and poor place for such a small amount of silver.

The old procuress's eyes lit up as she glanced at the big loquat tree at the door of the old house. She was overjoyed. She was saved. "I'm here to buy this loquat tree. A fortune teller once said that placing a loquat tree in the building can attract wealth and ward off evil. That's right, I'm here for this loquat tree."

“I see~!”

The madam's answer was far-fetched, but Lin Xiaoyue was not going to let her go easily.

You know, if she hadn't traveled through time and space to another world today, Lin Laosan's family would have encountered these evil people and might have ended up with their family destroyed!

Now I want to easily brush it aside, but how can it be so easy?

So, Lin Xiaoyue pointed at the thugs lying on the ground like dead dogs, some unconscious, some wailing and screaming, and continued to tease the madam: "What about these brothers?"

The madam is so miserable!

She could see that the other party was not going to let her brush the matter off lightly.

"Then the knight, the knight-errant, the young lady..." Facing Lin Xiaoyue's disapproving eyes, the madam was sweating profusely. She kept wiping her sweat and changed her words several times. Her tongue was almost tied. "Young lady, you see, this matter today is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. My men were blind and didn't know what was good for them. They provoked you. Can you please be so kind as to treat them as nothing?"

The villagers who were watching on the side couldn't help but gasp when they heard the madam's humble tone, which was completely different from before, and it took them a long time to come to their senses.

The situation took a dramatic turn and changed so quickly. It was so exciting and unexpected.

"This injury..."

"No need for you to compensate, young lady. No need for you to compensate. Your guidance is the blessing they have earned in eight lifetimes. Besides, for martial artists, such minor injuries can be healed in two days of lying down. No need for you to worry about it!"

The madam spoke in a fawning and complimenting manner. As the license holder of a brothel, she had an extraordinary eloquence.

Lin Xiaoyue: You fucking misunderstood what I meant.

Although she admired the madam's flexible attitude, Lin Xiaoyue did not want to let her off so easily. What if everyone thought she was a soft persimmon and anyone could come up and pinch her, and then just say an apology and get away with it? Wouldn't she be made of mud then?

She knew that being too aggressive would inevitably leave the villagers with the impression that she was difficult to get along with. Didn’t she see that the headman who had just stood in front of her was now showing a look of disapproval towards her?

But she just wanted to use this opportunity to intimidate some people with bad intentions and let them know that she, Lin Xiaoyue, is not someone to be trifled with. If you provoke her, you must be prepared to pay the corresponding price. Let's see who dares to provoke her easily next time.

So, the madam was also unlucky today, and she happened to be caught in the crossfire. So she had no choice but to let her experience herself and serve as a negative example, and become the "chicken" that Lin Xiaoyue killed to scare the monkeys.

Lin Xiaoyue wiped her face and pushed back the scattered hair on her forehead. A helpless look appeared on her face. She sighed faintly and slowly put her hand on the madam's shoulder. "I'm not talking about the injuries of those brothers. They are as strong as bulls. What can happen to them? They will recover after lying down for a day or two. They are young people!"

What? They were beaten to the ground with their eyes rolled up, some were even foaming at the mouth, and you still say it’s okay?

The madam and the onlookers were all sweating coldly.

Lin Xiaoyue didn't care what she thought, and continued, "Look at me, my face is covered in blood, and I got hit a few times by your men, so I'm even more dizzy. Maybe, perhaps, probably, I'll have some serious sequelae in the future!"

……

The madam looked constipated, and in her heart she screamed like a groundhog: I am not responsible for this! I am innocent! It was not me who broke your head.

But Lin Xiaoyue's hand hooked around her neck and her soft voice in her ear made her feel suffocated as if she were being entangled by a poisonous snake lurking in the dark.

She knew that she had to compromise at this time, there was no other way. The madam didn't dare to compare her old bones with Lin Xiaoyue who easily knocked down six strong men in one breath.

"Girl, look at these two... three, oh, no, five... ten taels. Is ten taels of silver enough to pay for the medical expenses?"

The madam was sweating profusely as she carefully looked at Lin Xiaoyue's increasingly gloomy face while discussing with him.

“Hmm…” Lin Xiaoyue covered her head with one hand, pretending to have a severe headache. She hooked her other hand on the madam’s shoulder and applied a little force. “Ouch, my head… feels so dizzy and painful!”

For Lin Xiaoyue, whose strength has mutated, just a little bit of insignificant pressure can definitely make the madam miserable.

The madam felt Lin Xiaoyue's "weakness" and was furious. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Twenty... thirty, thirty taels!"

Lin Xiaoyue didn't say anything and continued to devote herself to playing the role of "Lin Daiyu".

"Forty taels, no more!"

After saying this, the madam felt like her heart was bleeding.

Oh my god, I’ve lost a lot on this trip. I came to the countryside and got nothing, and I even lost forty taels.

Good luck.

Blood loss!

This could be the end of the brothel owner's life.

"One hundred taels, no bargaining!"

Lin Xiaoyue was too lazy to bargain with the madam. Although she didn't know what the prices were in that dynasty, referring to the price the madam paid for the person just now, she felt that one hundred taels was about right. If she asked for more, the madam would probably get so angry that she would rather end up in a fight where both sides suffered losses.
