"Do you want me to let you go? I can let you leave and give you a way out, but tonight you must find an opponent to bully, and the winner can leave."

"Furthermore, those who win and leave must apologize and make amends to everyone you have bullied as soon as possible."

They like to bully others, and Gu Xixi plans to let them experience what it's like to be bullied.

Without Gu Xixi needing to say anything more, all the thugs immediately started fighting each other. Ouch, ouch, bang, bang, the sounds of fists hitting flesh rose and fell.

In no time, half of the people were lying on the ground, and the other half had won. The winners were also covered in injuries. They looked at Gu Xixi, waiting for her to give the order so they could run away.

"Demon King, we have won. Can we leave now? We will definitely apologize and make amends as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, you are omnipresent, we would never dare to deceive you."

"Please!"

……

Gu Xixi gave a faint "hmm," and said, "Let's go. I'm always here, so if you do it again..."

"No, absolutely not! We'll definitely turn over a new leaf!" The thugs immediately took off running and crawled on their hands and knees, afraid that if they were a second too late, they would die there.

The remaining thugs looked desperate, and some even cried.

Third Master slapped Gu Xixi's arm hard, "Let them go. Killing me alone is enough. I forced them here. It has nothing to do with them. Besides, they only rob and beat people. Their crimes don't deserve to die."

He's quite loyal.

Gu Xixi put Third Master down on the ground, then grabbed him by the neck, and looked at the others, "Then I'll give you another chance to live. You all fight this culprit together. If he wins, he leaves; if you win, you leave. Is that fair?"

Now it's Third Master's turn to experience the pain of being bullied by thugs.

He needs to understand how desperate the people are when he ignores the suffering of the weak and bullies them.

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Xixi put Third Master down, the remaining group of people rushed to surround him.

“Listen to me, everyone. He is the county magistrate’s own nephew. If we beat him and lose to him, he will definitely not let us go when he goes back. So let’s join forces and kill him.”

"But... but murder...aren't we thugs? How can robbing people mean we can kill them?"

"Do you want him to retaliate against you? Besides, we've committed many evil deeds. Did we do it willingly? Didn't he force us to do it?"

"Brothers, come on!"

……

Immediately, Third Master also rushed forward and grappled with the crowd. The fight was fierce, and even more blood flowed out.

Two fists are indeed no match for four hands; in less than a quarter of an hour, Third Master collapsed to the ground.

Just as the thugs were about to kill Third Master, Gu Xixi raised her hand to stop them, pushing them all aside. "Get out of here, all of you. Like those people before, remember to apologize, or else..."

After everyone immediately agreed in unison, they ran away howling like ghosts.

At the same time, the system spoke up: [Ask him his surname; if it's Cheng, send him to Xilan County as a constable!]

Third Master collapsed to the ground, completely resigned to his fate, having lost even his last shred of fear, stretching out his neck to wait for Gu Xixi to strangle him.

Gu Xixi asked, "What's your surname?"

"Surname Cheng, so what? Do you monsters need to ask for names before killing someone?" Third Master got up, Gu Xixi retracted her mecha and appeared in front of him in civilian clothes.

"So you really want to live? If you agree to a few requests, I'll let you go."

"Yes!" How could anyone not want to live? Third Master sat up, a new hope rekindling in his eyes. "What are your requirements?"

"First, arrest all the thugs in Qingcheng County by noon tomorrow, make them apologize to the victims and receive the punishment they deserve, including you. Second, find time to leave here and go to Xilan County to work as a constable."

Gu Xixi thought about it carefully. With this arrangement, no thug could escape, after all, Master Cheng's uncle was the county magistrate.

All she needs to do is control Third Master Cheng.

Master Cheng wasn't surprised by the first request, but the second... was becoming a constable something he could just do whenever he wanted?

Xilan County is not the place where his uncle is a lord.

But he could only agree, because monsters and humans are different... and their knowledge is definitely different too.

Moreover, he's doing all this trouble precisely to anger his uncle—the angrier the better, the worse his reputation the better… all because he bullied his mother…

Later, although he wanted to stop, he had too many thugs and couldn't control them anymore. Now, Gu Xixi's appearance has finally brought an end to the chaotic situation.

"Okay, I promise you." After saying that, Third Master Cheng tentatively left. When he found that Gu Xixi really didn't chase after him, he swallowed the metallic taste in his mouth and quickly limped away.

Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen, and young Shen Qingyan also recovered.

Xiao Shen Qingyan smiled and said, "Father, Mother, Miss Gu came to teach them a lesson in the middle of the night, probably because she was afraid they would retaliate against us in the future and continue to bully the people. With her arrangement, Qingcheng County will at least be quiet for a while."

She really was from a reclusive family. Only people from reclusive families have such extraordinary abilities and the magnanimity to stand up for the people at all costs.

"That's true. It's said that people from reclusive families only appear during times of chaos and turmoil. Now that things are not peaceful, they have indeed appeared. Although it was a bit shocking, Miss Gu is indeed a good person."

Father Shen nodded, and then the three of them stood up together, picked up their tinderboxes, and walked toward Gu Xixi.

Gu Xixi had already sensed that there were still people around, assuming they were thugs, but when she turned around, she found herself face to face with Xiao Shen Qingyan: ...

Oh no, her identity has been exposed!

Did they see their mechs? Their expressions seem to suggest they did, but also seem to suggest they didn't. So, did they see them or not?

"Girl, don't worry. We witnessed everything that just happened. Although your appearance is strange after your transformation, you are definitely a good person. I think you are definitely not a monster."

"Yes, yes, we're not scared, we're just amazed, so amazed that we probably won't be able to sleep tonight."

"The young lady is very righteous; this is for the benefit of all the people of Qingcheng County."

The three of them bowed deeply to Gu Xixi with hands clasped in a respectful gesture.

Gu Xixi immediately helped them up. "I'm relieved that you're not scared. Actually, it's just a kind of battle armor. It just looks scary. I'm not a monster, nor am I a god. Aren't you upset that I kept it from you?"

“It’s already inconvenient for a young woman like you to travel alone, so naturally you can’t easily tell others about your secret weapon for protecting yourself. We can all understand.” Mother Shen waved her hand, her voice trembling instinctively; she was still very afraid of this strange armor.
