Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

"stop!"

Just as everyone was about to attack Chen Yu, a sudden female voice sounded, causing everyone to turn their heads and look.

Deep in the alley, a beautiful girl stood there, slender and graceful.

After a brief moment of shock, Strong Man A quickly came to his senses. He narrowed his eyes, looked up and down at the girl who had suddenly appeared, and then said coldly, "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"

"When you see injustice, you should draw your sword and help. I will take care of this matter today." Ji Nuan stepped forward and said without question.

Seeing Ji Nuan's indifference, Strong Man A was furious. He cursed viciously, "You bitch, if you won't listen to our kind advice, don't blame us for being rude!" He waved his hand, signaling his men to attack. He thought a delicate woman was so frightened that she was just pretending to be calm. He threatened her twice and she'd run away.

Just as Strong Man A was about to throw a punch, Ji Nuan spun around, appearing before him like a ghost. With a gentle push, she toppled him to the ground. Then, she leaped forward, her legs sweeping out like whips. Before the seven or eight underlings could react, they collapsed to the ground, their wails echoing.

This scene happened so suddenly that Chen Yu and the other men were stunned. They stared at Ji Nuan with wide eyes, disbelieving. Chen Yu secretly congratulated himself, believing he had almost underestimated this young woman. The other men, on the other hand, were filled with shock. They had never imagined that this seemingly delicate girl could possess such astonishing skills and strength.

"Damn, we were wrong!" The big men muttered in their hearts. Only at this moment did they realize that this girl was not a beautiful bride at all, but a hidden female demon!

Ji Nuan crossed her arms over her chest, her tone lazily and indifferently: "Do you want to continue?"

A sturdy man struggled to stand up, holding his chest with one hand, and angrily cursed: "Bah! Bitch, I refuse to believe this. Can't so many people do anything to a woman like you?"

Ji Nuan didn't bother to pay attention to his impotent rage. She flicked her finger lightly, and a stone was accurately embedded in the blue brick wall, leaving a clear hole, demonstrating her extraordinary strength.

At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that Ji Nuan had just shown mercy to them.

"Young lady, you are very magnanimous. It is we who are blind and don't know what is good for us. May I ask your name, young lady?" Strong Man A clasped his fists and bowed, acting very tactfully to accompany Xiaoxin.

Upon hearing this, Ji Nuan's lips curled up in a playful smile, and she replied with a sly, chivalrous tone, "One drifts through the martial arts world, and I remain true to my name. I am Long Aotian!" A sly glint flashed in her eyes. "Hmph, do I look like an easy fool to you? Do I tell you my real name so you can summon someone to seek revenge on me? I'll make sure you never find Long Aotian."

Strong Man A's face twitched slightly. Which girl would choose such a domineering name? She must be teasing them on purpose.

"Goodbye!" He clasped his fists, feeling apprehensive about Ji Nuan's strength. He waved his hand, signaling his companions to evacuate quickly.

"Are you okay?" Ji Nuan looked at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu bowed deeply to her, his voice filled with gratitude: "Thank you so much for your generosity. I will never forget your kindness! You came at the perfect time, otherwise, I would have suffered a lot."

"Why did they rob you?" Ji Nuan's eyes flashed with curiosity. Although there were few people coming and going here, it was not uncommon. Moreover, it was right next to the main street. Who would be so bold as to commit robbery in broad daylight?

Chen Yu looked embarrassed and explained, "To be honest, I just won 10,000 taels from the casino." After observing Ji Nuan's expression, he continued, "I suspect these people might have been sent by the casino. I just left the casino and found them following me. It's too much of a coincidence."

Ji Nuan looked Chen Yu up and down. He had skin as white as jade, sharp features, a youthful look on his face, and was dressed in luxurious clothes. It was hard to imagine that he was someone who often went to casinos.

"Judging from your clothes, you're obviously from a wealthy family. Why wouldn't you give up your money to protect yourself when you're being attacked?" Ji Nuan was puzzled. To her, money was just a superficial possession. How could it be compared to safety? Could it be that in his eyes, money was more valuable than life itself?

"I'm not a gambler," Chen Yu explained, a tone of grievance in his voice. "They set a trap together, trying to lure me into gambling, and I was just playing along. Who would have thought that they would be so sore about losing that they would attack me here."

"If the girl hadn't appeared in time, I would have had no choice but to hand over the money to protect myself." Chen Yu sighed, with a hint of relief in his tone.

"Saving you was just a matter of convenience, you don't have to worry about it. However, since they have set their sights on you, if they fail this time, there might be trouble in the future. You'd better find a way to resolve this matter as soon as possible." Ji Nuan reminded.

"Thank you for your reminder, young lady. I will handle this matter as soon as possible." Chen Yu bowed to Ji Nuan to express his gratitude.

"In that case, I'll go home first." Ji Nuan turned around and waved her hand casually.

As Ji Nuan's figure gradually faded away, Chen Yu suddenly came to his senses and realized that he had forgotten to ask her where she lived so that he could go and thank her. He tapped his forehead, smiled bitterly, and left.

Ji Nuan shuttled between various grocery stores, carefully selecting the basic supplies needed for the Taolin Wooden House. She also specially found a set of silver needles in case of emergency. When she left the shop, she took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention to put the purchased items into the space.

After buying everything she could think of, she had already missed lunch time. Ji Nuan found a clean noodle stall, had a simple bowl of hot noodles, and then rushed to the place where she had agreed to meet Ji Shan.

Honest cloth shop.

Ji Shan sat in the store, getting up from time to time and walking to the door, looking around anxiously, his heart filled with worry. His younger sister hadn't come to see him yet. If such a beautiful girl was kidnapped, he would regret it to death. He shouldn't have agreed to let his younger sister go shopping on her own.

"Brother, I'm back!"

Ji Nuan's clear voice broke the silence in the shop and dispelled Ji Shan's worries. He turned around abruptly, his eyes flashing with joy, and hurried forward to meet her. He looked at the little sister carefully, and after confirming that she was safe, he smiled.

"You're finally back. What took you so long to buy? I was so worried." Ji Shan scolded softly.

Hearing this, Ji Nuan touched his nose and explained with a guilty conscience: "Brother, I looked in many places but couldn't find what I wanted."

At this time, Ji Nuan saw Ji Chuan and the shop owner coming out from the back hall, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them with a smile: "Third brother, is Shopkeeper Tao well?"

Shopkeeper Tao smiled and replied, "It's been a while since you last saw me, little girl Nuan. I see you've grown even more beautiful now."

After hearing Manager Tao's praise, Ji Nuan smiled brightly and gave a thumbs-up, saying, "Manager Tao is truly worthy of being a manager. He speaks the truth!"

Everyone present laughed when they heard this.

After some laughter and playfulness, Ji Nuan said to Ji Shan, "Brother, I want to make two sets of summer clothes for everyone in the family." Then she turned to Shopkeeper Tao, a smile on her face, and said, "Shopkeeper Tao, please help my eldest brother choose some suitable fabrics. You have a good eye, so please help him check them. I'll go talk to my third brother."

"Don't worry, I'll bring them to you once I've chosen everything." Shopkeeper Tao was delighted to have business coming in. He was very discerning about the business, and as soon as he saw the three siblings, he knew who was the one who made the decision.
