I am destroying the protagonist in the fantasy world!

After leaving the tavern, Lei Yi strolled into the bustling market. The streets were lined with shops, and the sounds of hawking and bargaining were endless, creating a lively scene.

He observed the passers-by with great interest. They were dressed differently. There were common people in coarse linen clothes, rich children in brocade clothes, and many people from the martial arts world who carried long swords on their backs and precious knives on their waists.

The roadside stalls are filled with a variety of goods, including a dazzling array of jewelry and jade, rare herbs and spices, and exquisitely crafted weapons and armor, which are dazzling.

Lei Yi walked and stopped along the way, picking up items on the stalls from time to time to examine them carefully and ask about the prices, trying to piece together more information about this world from these details.

"Sir, you're from out of town, aren't you?" A vendor selling candied haws greeted Lei Yi warmly, noticing he was a stranger. "My candied haws are made with the freshest hawthorns and the finest rock sugar. Would you like to try some?"

Lei Yi smiled and waved his hand, politely declining the vendor's kindness and continued walking forward.

However, before he had taken a few steps, he was blocked by a group of people.

"Boy, don't you watch your step? You bumped into our Master Li. Why don't you apologize now!" A thin man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks pointed at Lei Yi's nose and shouted loudly.

Lei Yi frowned slightly and looked up at the group of people in front of him.

The leader was a burly man with a face full of flesh. He was dressed in brocade clothes and had a sword inlaid with gold and jade on his waist. It was obvious at first glance that he was the leader of this group.

At this moment, the burly man was staring at Lei Yi with displeasure, his eyes full of contempt and provocation.

Lei Yi sneered in his heart, he knew that this group of people were coming for him.

"Excuse me, sir, did I bump into you?" Lei Yi asked calmly, his tone calm and polite.

"Boy, you still dare to play dumb?" The thin man saw this and immediately became excited. He took a step forward and reached out to push Lei Yi. "Our Master Li is very precious. You bumped into him and you think you can just apologize and let it go?"

"Stop!" Lei Yi dodged the thin man's push and said in a deep voice, "I really don't remember who I bumped into. If I really offended anyone, I will apologize, but you are being so rude and rude. Isn't that too much?"

"Boy, how dare you say our Master Li is rude and troublesome?" The thin man was immediately furious when he heard this. He pointed at Lei Yi's nose and cursed, "Why don't you ask who our Master Li is? In Qingfeng Town, no one dares to speak to our Master Li like that!"

"Oh? Really?" Lei Yi looked at the thin man with a smile, then looked at the people around him who dared to be angry but not to speak, and he already understood in his heart.

This group of people are clearly the local tyrants of Qingfeng Town. Relying on their power, they act tyrannically and oppress the people.

As a newcomer from another place, he naturally became a fat sheep in their eyes.

"It seems that this 'Master Li' is of great importance." Lei Yi said slowly with a playful smile on his face.

"Boy, are you scared?" The thin man saw that Lei Yi's tone had softened a bit, thinking that he was afraid. He immediately became even more arrogant and shouted, "If you are afraid, then kneel down and kowtow to our Master Li and admit your fault. Maybe our Master Li will be in a good mood and spare your life!"

"Really?" A cold light flashed in Lei Yi's eyes. He slowly raised his head, looked directly at the burly man, and said word by word, "I want to see how he will not let me off today?" "Good boy, you are quite arrogant!" The burly man was furious when he saw that Lei Yi dared to contradict him. He slammed the table so hard that the teacup on the table jumped up, "I think you are tired of living!"

Lei Yi sneered in his heart, but remained expressionless on the surface. He said calmly, "Brother, I'm new here and I don't seem to have any grudges against you. Why are you being so aggressive?"

"Hmph, brat, don't think I don't know what you're up to!" The burly man snorted coldly, pointing his finger at Lei Yi's nose and cursing, "You're just trying to use my name to establish your authority in Qingfeng Town! Let me tell you, Qingfeng Town is not a place where you can run wild!"

Lei Yi thought to himself that this bully Li was just trying to make things worse for him. He just wanted to live a peaceful life, not show off his power. He patiently explained, "My dear brother, you really misunderstood me. I..."

"Misunderstanding? I think you're not going to give up until you get to the Yellow River!" The strong man didn't listen to Lei Yi's explanation at all. He waved his hand impatiently, "Brothers, come on, teach this ignorant kid a lesson!"

The group of thugs around could no longer hold back. Upon hearing the boss's order, they immediately rushed forward, waving their fists and attacking Lei Yi.

Lei Yi groaned inwardly at the sight. Although he possessed considerable cultivation, he was still a newcomer, unfamiliar with the place. Furthermore, this bully, Li, seemed to have some powerful backing. If he really got into a fight, he'd probably get into even more trouble.

While dodging the attacks of the thugs, he tried to continue explaining: "Everyone, please listen to me, this is really..."

However, those thugs ignored Lei Yi's explanation and became more and more brutal, with every move aimed at Lei Yi's vital points.

When the people around saw this, they all hid away, fearing that they would be affected.

"stop!"

At this moment, a clear female voice suddenly rang out, and a woman in white walked out of the crowd.

The woman had a beautiful appearance and an extraordinary temperament, like the Queen Mother of the West who had descended to earth. She attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared.

When Lei Yi saw the woman in white, he was immediately delighted and thought to himself that his savior had arrived.

The woman in white was none other than Dongfang Liuli.

It turned out that Dongfang Liuli passed by here and saw Lei Yi being besieged. She didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but when she thought of the important task Lei Yi was carrying, she became hesitant.

Now seeing that Lei Yi was in danger, she finally couldn't help but take action.

"Who are you? How dare you meddle in my business, Li Laosan?" The burly man was stunned when he saw Dongfang Liuli suddenly appear, and then asked angrily.

Dongfang Liuli glanced at the burly man coldly and said in a cold voice, "In broad daylight, you commit violence in the street. Do you think there is any law?"

"The law?" The burly man laughed heartily, as if he had heard a funny joke. "In Qingfeng Town, I, Li Laosan, am the law!"

Dongfang Liuli frowned and was about to speak when the burly man's expression suddenly changed. He pointed at Lei Yi and said angrily, "Stop pretending, you little bastard!"

After saying that, he suddenly slapped Lei Yi's chest.

Lei Yi saw this and cried out inwardly, "Not good!" But he was already cornered, with nowhere to hide. In a flash, Dongfang Liuli dodged and stood in front of Lei Yi, effortlessly absorbing Li Laosan's powerful palm strike. Li Laosan felt a surge of force and stumbled back several steps before steadying himself. He looked at Dongfang Liuli with a hint of fear.

"You pretty boy, you actually have a master hidden in your pocket!" Li Laosan glared at Lei Yi fiercely, but was secretly shocked in his heart. This kid looked so weak, but he could actually find such a powerful helper. It seemed that he had underestimated him.

Dongfang Liuli ignored Li Laosan and turned to look at Lei Yi, asking with concern, "Are you okay?"

Lei Yi, however, completely changed his previous calm demeanor. He hunched his shoulders, hid behind Dongfang Liuli, and said tremblingly, "Thank you, sister. I'm so scared..."

Dongfang Liuli was stunned, somewhat confused. She had only met Lei Yi a few times and had always thought of him as a gentle and elegant gentleman. Now seeing him like this, she couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Seeing Lei Yi's behavior, Li Laosan was even more convinced that he was a weakling who only bullied the weak and feared the strong. He immediately burst into laughter and pointed at Lei Yi's nose and cursed, "I thought you were a tough guy, but you're actually a coward! With your guts, you dare to be so arrogant in front of me, Li Laosan?"

The people around originally saw Dongfang Liuli's extraordinary moves and thought that Lei Yi was some hidden big shot. Now seeing his cowardly appearance, they immediately started talking about it, and looked at Lei Yi with contempt and ridicule.

"This guy is such a loser, hiding behind a woman!"

"That's right, he was pretending to be so serious just now, but when something happened, he was exposed!"

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! This kid must have peed his pants out of fright!"

Listening to the mocking voices around him, Lei Yi seemed to be completely oblivious. He continued to hide behind Dongfang Liuli, his body trembling slightly, and he kept muttering, "Don't come over, don't come over..."

Seeing Lei Yi's crazy look, Li Laosan felt even more disdainful. Just as he was about to continue mocking him, Lei Yi suddenly raised his head, staring at him with lifeless eyes, and said in a strange tone: "You... who are you? Are you here to arrest me? I... I haven't done anything bad, don't arrest me..."

Li Laosan was startled by his sudden action and couldn't help but take a step back, frowning and saying, "You..."

Lei Yi, however, seemed oblivious to his reaction, continuing to speak to himself, "They all say I'm a scourge, a bringer of misfortune... Is that true? Will I really kill everyone?" Lei Yi's sudden madness left Li Laosan somewhat bewildered. He had originally thought Lei Yi was a weak and incompetent fellow, but he hadn't expected him to be a lunatic. Although Li Laosan was used to being a tyrant, he didn't dare to provoke a madman. If he went berserk and hurt him, it would be a disaster.

Thinking of this, Li Laosan decided to leave first and wait until he understood the situation. He glared at Lei Yi fiercely, said "You're lucky!" and left with his men in disgrace.

When the people around saw Li Laosan and others leave, they also dispersed. Before leaving, they did not forget to point at Lei Yi and talk about him.

Lei Yi watched Li Laosan and his group retreating, the madness in his eyes gradually fading, replaced by a deep look. He knew that Li Laosan was only temporarily frightened off; given his character, he would never let him off easily. He had gotten away with it this time, but it might not be so easy next time.

"Are you okay?" Dongfang Liuli saw Li Laosan and others leave, then turned to look at Lei Yi, still with some doubts in her eyes.

Lei Yi quickly put on a frightened look and said timidly, "I... I'm fine. Thank you, sister, for saving me..."

Dongfang Liuli was even more confused when she saw him like this. She always felt that Lei Yi's reaction was a little strange, but his behavior just now was indeed like that of a frightened person.

"Are you really okay?" Dongfang Liuli was still a little worried and asked again.

"I'm really fine," Lei Yi shook his head, trying to look grateful, "If it weren't for my sister's help, I'm afraid I would be..."

Seeing that he really didn't look like anything was wrong, Dongfang Liuli didn't ask any more questions. She just nodded lightly and turned to leave.

Lei Yi watched Dongfang Liuli's departing figure, a complex expression flashing across his eyes. He knew that while his performance had fooled Li Laosan, it hadn't dispelled Dongfang Liuli's doubts. The questioning look she gave him as she left pierced Lei Yi's heart like a thorn.

"It seems I still have a long way to go if I want to survive in this world..." Lei Yi muttered to himself. He raised his head and looked into the distance. There was a towering mountain, and on the top of the mountain, an ancient building was faintly visible.

"I heard that Master Wang lives there..."
