I am destroying the protagonist in the fantasy world!

The setting sun's afterglow shone through the shabby window frames, casting a thin golden glow over the simple room. Lei Yi gazed at the fiery clouds in the sky, his heart sinking as if into an icy cave. He knew the deadline for safely leaving town was drawing near, and danger loomed large.

Over the past few days, he has been trying to find information about the man in black from the original owner's memories, but he has no clue. The only thing he can be sure of is that his identity in the time travel is not simple and seems to be related to a huge conspiracy.

"Boom boom boom——"

The sudden knock on the door startled Lei Yi. He clenched his fists in alarm and whispered, "Who?"

"Mr. Lei, it's me, Aunt Wang." A woman's voice came from outside the door.

Lei Yi breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door. Aunt Wang was a kind-hearted person in town, and she had taken care of the original owner during his coma.

"Mr. Lei, you're finally awake! I haven't seen you go out these few days. Are you still not fully recovered?" Aunt Wang asked with concern, handing him a bowl of hot porridge.

"Thank you for your concern, Aunt Wang. I'm fine now." Lei Yi took the bowl of porridge and asked calmly, "Has there been anything unusual in the town these days?"

"It's strange, a few days ago a group of strangers came to the town, all of them looked ferocious. They said they were here to look for relatives, but they were looking for information everywhere all day long. I don't know what they were looking for..." Aunt Wang lowered her voice, a look of worry on her face.

Lei Yi's heart sank. His intuition told him that this group of outsiders was likely related to the men in black. He pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Aunt Wang, do you know where they live?"

"They're staying at the inn at the east end of town. I heard the leader is a fierce one-eyed man..." Aunt Wang's expression suddenly changed before she finished speaking. She lowered her voice and said, "Speak of the devil, the gang is here!"

Lei Yi's heart trembled, and he looked in the direction Aunt Wang was looking. He saw several fierce-looking men walking towards them. The one leading them was a burly man with a black eye patch on his left eye. It was the "one-eyed dragon" that Aunt Wang mentioned.

"Oh no, it's Li Bully's people!" Aunt Wang exclaimed, and hurriedly pulled Lei Yi into the house and closed the door.

Lei Yi understood. It seemed that Li Eba had not given up on revenge, but had colluded with a more powerful force. Through the crack in the door, he saw the one-eyed man walk straight up to Li Eba and whisper something. Li Eba immediately showed a sinister smile on his face and pointed in his direction.

The one-eyed man nodded and walked towards this side with a few strong men in a menacing manner...

One-Eyed Dragon's men pounded roughly on every door in the town, searching door to door while shouting something menacingly. Dongfang Liuli sat in an unassuming corner of the teahouse, observing all this with a calm expression. The events of the past few days in the town were incredibly unusual: first, a group of unidentified outsiders, each of them incredibly ferocious, and now, they were searching door to door. This reminded her of Lei Yi, who had just woken up after being in a coma for many days.

Her intuition told her that Lei Yi was responsible for all this. But Lei Yi was just a weak, wealthy young man. Who on earth would go to such great lengths to find him? Dongfang Liuli fell into deep thought. Having been a wanderer since childhood, she knew the principle of avoiding trouble. Furthermore, her purpose was to find the legendary Tianshan Snow Lotus and save her master. She simply couldn't get involved in this.

A loud "bang!" interrupted Dongfang Liuli's thoughts. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw the One-Eyed Dragon's men had already broken down a door and turned a house upside down. The shrieks of terror and the helpless cries of children mixed together, leaving Dongfang Liuli feeling a wave of annoyance. She tightened her grip on the hilt of her sword, then sighed softly and turned her head toward the window.

Meanwhile, Lei Yi hid in Aunt Wang's woodshed, daring not to utter a word. He keenly sensed that the entire town was shrouded in an invisible web, from which he could not escape. What exactly did the bully Li, the men in black, and this group of unknown outsiders want? Lei Yi's mind raced, trying to find a way out.

"Young Master Lei, hurry up and leave! They'll be here soon!" Aunt Wang's urgent voice rang beside his ears. She stuffed a package into Lei Yi's hands and said, "Here are some dry food and small change. Take them and eat them on the way. Hurry!"

Lei Yi took the package, knowing now was no time to hesitate. He had to leave as soon as possible. But where could he go? He knew he was like prey being targeted by a hunter; no matter where he fled, he couldn't escape their pursuit. Worse still, he felt in his pocket and realized his already meager money was now almost gone. Without it, he couldn't move forward in this small town, struggling to even afford basic living expenses.

He remembered how he had earned some money when he first arrived using some modern "gadgets." But now, the methods for making those "gadgets" were probably already in the hands of the men in black, and might even have reached the ears of Li the Bully. He felt like a trapped animal in a cage, despair and fear flooding over him like a tide, nearly drowning him.

"Aunt Wang, thank you. I know what to do now." Lei Yi took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He bowed deeply to Aunt Wang and turned to leave the woodshed.

He couldn't just sit there and wait for death. He had to find a new way to make money in order to survive in this dangerous town. But what could he do? Lei Yi walked aimlessly on the street, watching the people coming and going, his heart filled with confusion.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on a small street stall selling candy figurines. The stall owner scooped up a spoonful of steaming syrup and deftly sketched a few strokes on the stone slab. A lifelike goldfish figurine appeared before his eyes.

Sugar figurines! Lei Yi's heart moved, and a bold idea emerged in his mind. He remembered that when he was a child, he also learned some simple sugar figurine making methods from his grandfather. If he could...

At this moment, a hand rested on his shoulder. Lei Yi was startled and turned around suddenly, only to see a familiar face.

"It's you!"

"It's you!" Li the bully grinned, his face thick with flesh, like a wolf choosing its prey. "I thought you were going to hide for a long time!"

Lei Yi's heart sank instantly. What he feared was indeed what happened. He forced himself to remain calm and forced a smile on his face: "It's Brother Li. What a coincidence! You're here shopping too?"

"Stop trying to get close to me!" Bully Li grabbed Lei Yi by the collar and pushed him against the wall. "Stop pretending, kid. Tell me, who are you, where are you from, and what's your purpose in coming to our town?"

Lei Yi felt suffocated. He pried Li the bully's hand with all his strength and said with difficulty: "Brother Li, what are you doing? I don't understand what you are saying. I am just a stranger who came here just to beg for food..."

Bully Li didn't listen to his explanation at all. He said viciously, "Don't think I don't know that you know some magic. You made all those weird things. You must be trying to use magic to harm us!"

Lei Yi's heart trembled. It seemed that the bully Li had begun to doubt his identity and was spreading rumors in the town, inciting everyone's hostility towards him. He looked around and found that the once bustling streets were now full of people pointing at him, their eyes filled with fear and disgust.

He knew that if he continued like this, he would be completely speechless. He had to find a way out of this predicament as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Let him go!" A cold voice rang out. Dongfang Liuli pushed through the crowd and walked in front of Lei Yi. She stared at Li the bully fiercely, her tone carrying unquestionable majesty.

Li Bully was intimidated by Dongfang Liuli's aura and subconsciously let go of Lei Yi. He looked Dongfang Liuli up and down, a trace of greed flashing in his eyes, and said with a lecherous look: "Wow, where did this beauty come from? She is so beautiful. Why don't you come with me, your brother..."

"Looking for death!" Dongfang Liuli's eyes turned cold, and she made a lightning-fast move, slapping Li Bully in the face.

Bully Li was beaten so hard that he saw stars. He covered his swollen face, angry and humiliated. He pointed at Dongfang Liuli and cursed: "You bitch, you dare to hit me? Do you know who I am? I am the most famous person in this town..."

"I don't care who you are!" Dongfang Liuli interrupted him and sneered, "You dare to be rude to me? You must be tired of living!"

Bully Li was frightened by Dongfang Liuli's momentum and retreated repeatedly. He pointed at Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli with a timid look and said fiercely: "Just wait, I won't let you go!" After that, he ran away in shame.

Dongfang Liuli watched the bully Li fleeing in panic, a flicker of disdain in her eyes. She turned and looked at Lei Yi, her tone tinged with worry: "Are you okay?"

Lei Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm fine, thank you for your help, otherwise I would be in trouble today."

Dongfang Liuli looked at Lei Yi, a complicated look flashing in her eyes. She whispered, "You're in big trouble. Come with me."

Lei Yi's heart sank. He knew what Dongfang Liuli was referring to. The time limit for him to safely spend a week in the town was getting closer and closer, and now he was caught in an even greater crisis. He had to find a way to escape quickly, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Follow me," Dongfang Liuli said again, her tone unwavering. She turned and walked out of the city, leaving Lei Yi standing there with a frown. He watched Dongfang Liuli's back as she left, clenching his fists. He knew he had no choice... He hurried after her. Dongfang Liuli stopped at a secluded alley. "I know a way to avoid them..."
