Mu Xue and Mu Xue

"You, do you know who the real boss behind this store is!

"You injured me today, it was just a minor incident, but you actually dared to ruin our business. You've completely offended the big man behind our store! He's incredibly powerful in this city, with a wide network of connections. With just one order from him, you'll be killed without a burial place. Just prepare to endure his endless wrath and revenge!"

The old woman yelled in a timid manner, trying to intimidate Ziyuan with the power behind her.

"Why are you people so dependent on the people behind you? You talk about the people behind you every other sentence. It's so boring and annoying!" Ziyuan's face was full of impatience. He simply took his feet away from the old woman and let her go.

"Go, bring the person behind you to me quickly. If you don't, I will kill you right now!"

Ziyuan's eyebrows were raised, her beautiful eyes were wide open, and her tone was full of threats.

In fact, she just wanted to scare the old woman. She didn't really intend to take anyone's life. She just wanted to find out the person behind this, teach them a lesson, and give them a warning.

Unexpectedly, this old woman was such a coward and fell for it.

"You! Just wait for me!"

The old woman had just climbed up from the ground in a panic when she uttered these harsh words, but her trembling voice and hurried steps had already exposed her fear.

She covered her pierced ear with one hand, blood seeping out from between her fingers, leaving bloodstains on the ground, and then she ran away in shame.

When Ziyuan saw the old woman leave, he found a place and sat down elegantly, quietly waiting for the so-called person behind the scenes to arrive.

But the waiting process was so boring that her bright eyes rolled around and she looked at Lin Mo who was still unconscious.

She decided to wake Lin Mo up first, and her way of waking him up was very unique.

She just raised her hand slightly, and a mental force wrapped around Lin Mo's body like an invisible silk thread. With a light lift, she lifted Lin Mo from the ground in front of her.

The next scene was... Ziyuan raised her slender jade hand, with a bit of anger and anxiety, and slapped Lin Mo's face frantically.

Her palms drew arcs in the air, creating a slight sound of wind, and each stroke landed firmly on Lin Mo's cheek.

However, what Ziyuan didn't expect was that even though she slapped Lin Mo's face until it was red and swollen, Lin Mo still showed no signs of waking up.

This gave her a headache, and she, who was usually very smart, was a little at a loss at this moment.

Fortunately, a clever girl in the store couldn't stand it anymore, so she came forward timidly and reminded in a low voice: "Fairy, maybe you can try using water." When Ziyuan heard it, she suddenly realized and slapped her head.

Ziyuan waved her hand lightly and threw Lin Moru to the ground like throwing an object, then stretched out a finger, and in a moment, a crystal clear water ball slowly formed at her fingertips.

She exerted a little force, and the water ball flew straight towards Lin Mo like an arrow.

With a "pop", the water ball shattered on Lin Mo's face, splashing water everywhere.

When Lin Mo was doused with cold water, it was as if some mechanism was triggered. He shuddered instantly and shouted, "Ah! No!" Then he woke up suddenly.

As soon as he woke up, the memory before he fell into coma immediately emerged in his mind. When he realized where he was, his face turned pale instantly.

This is a brothel! I haven't even reached adulthood yet. If this matter gets out, I will definitely become a laughing stock and suffer countless gossips.

"Wake up! You're still so naughty at such a young age, and you're visiting a brothel, right? Do you think I should tell your sister about this?"

Ziyuan was slightly stunned after saying this, and a trace of regret surged in his heart.

She carefully recalled Mu Xue's attitude towards Lin Mo in daily life, and the look of pampering and protection appeared in front of her. She was afraid that no matter what Lin Mo did, Mu Xue would support him without hesitation.

"I didn't! This is all a misunderstanding! I came here for a morning run!" Lin Mo was so anxious that his face turned red. He waved his arms desperately, trying to defend himself.

"Huh? You went to a brothel for your morning run?" Zi Yuan interrupted Lin Mo mercilessly before he could finish his explanation. There was a hint of teasing at the corner of his mouth, but there was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

"Oh! Listen to me first, this is what happened..."

Lin Mo began to talk incessantly, the veins on his forehead bulged slightly, his eyes were wide open, and his expression was extremely serious.

He described in detail how he was just running along the street, but for some reason was attracted by a strange fragrance, and then he came to the vicinity of the brothel in a daze. Before he could react, he was taken into the building by the old woman.

Finally, after Lin Mo's painstaking explanation, Ziyuan reluctantly believed what Lin Mo said. After all, he was her disciple. It was reasonable for her, her master, to believe him. Who else would easily believe him in this strange place?

Oh, yes, there may be people here, but how can their words carry any weight?

"By the way, why does my face hurt so much?" Lin Mo said as he slowly raised his hand and touched his face, "Ah! It hurts so much, why is my face swollen?" His voice trembled with pain, and his eyes were full of confusion and grievance.

"Ahem! I don't know! Maybe it was the old woman who brought you here who beat you?" Ziyuan coughed lightly, and her face instantly put on an extremely innocent, as if it had nothing to do with her, as if this matter really had nothing to do with her and she was just a bystander.

Lin Mo looked at Ziyuan doubtfully, with suspicion and helplessness in his eyes, but he didn't intend to say anything about this matter.

He looked at Ziyuan who was pretending to be calm. In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, but he was not going to point it out.

"Shall we go back?" Lin Mo asked tentatively.

"There's no point in going back! I'm going to wait here for the person behind that old woman. I want to see who is so bold as to do such a thing here." Ziyuan raised her eyebrows, her tone firm and unquestionable, her eyes flashing with anger and determination.

"Uh, okay, I'll be leaving then?"

After saying that, Lin Mo was about to walk back, but just as he raised his foot and before he could put it down, he suddenly found that his foot had left the ground.

"Why are you leaving? You are a witness to this matter. How can we prove it without you?

Come back here and sit here quietly waiting for someone!"

Ziyuan's voice was like an order, and her attitude was extremely firm. Lin Mo racked his brains but couldn't think of any reason to refuse. In desperation, he had no choice but to sit next to Ziyuan.

At this time, the door was already crowded with people. They were in groups of three or five, whispering to each other.

Someone also recognized Ziyuan as the person who caused a scene in the [high-end restaurant] yesterday, and the news spread quickly among the crowd as if it had wings.

The current [high-end restaurant] has been closed down, and Hua Yan has also promulgated a new law, which prohibits eating monkeys and prohibits all acts of animal abuse... and a series of new laws on animal protection.

In short, the meat of certain animals is allowed to be eaten if it meets the regulations, but it must never be slaughtered in an overly cruel way. This is the bottom line.

The two waited in the brothel for a long time, so long that it seemed as if time had stopped, but no one showed up.

The waiting time was so long that even the crowds of onlookers outside had basically dispersed, leaving only a few extremely curious people still watching from a distance.

"Or we should just go. I'm so hungry! I'm almost starving to death." Lin Mo covered his stomach with both hands, hunched over, with a dying look on his face and eyes full of desire for food.
