Chapter 6: The Horrifying Meat Wall Blocking the Way

"Young Miss, the weather is so beautiful, yet you aren't going up the mountain to gather herbs or heading to the outskirts for a spring outing. Why are you dragging me to wander through the marketplace instead?"

Zhixiang was Tao Qianyu's personal guard. Normally, she looked like an ordinary maid, and only when she started fighting did one realize how much of a contrast her violent nature had with her appearance. Right now, she was looking around everywhere with a face full of joy. The marketplace was indeed bustling, filled with a dazzling array of goods that were almost too much to take in. Zhixiang rarely went out for strolls, and at this moment, her childlike nature was on full display.

"Young Miss, you're looking here and there without buying anything. What are you searching for?" Zhixiang looked at Tao Qianyu nervously, fearing she might get lost.

Tao Qianyu was somewhat speechless. She reached out and tapped Zhixiang; as expected, she was one of Tao Xuanyun's family, as they both loved using this move.

"You girl, you usually look so clever, why are you being so dim-witted now? I told you, I'm dressed in men's clothing, looking elegant and dashing. You following behind me calling me 'Young Miss'—isn't that undermining me?"

"Hehe, that's true. Young Master, this humble one knows her mistake." Zhixiang stuck out her tongue and scratched her hair. It was just that even if the Young Miss wore men's clothing, she was still so beautiful; hadn't she seen the passersby stealing glances at her?

Tao Qianyu smiled with satisfaction; indeed, a tap made her smarter. After speaking, she turned back to start looking around again. Why couldn't she see it? It was clearly said to be on this street.

Clad in a white brocade long robe embroidered with white flowers, Tao Qianyu's petite figure appeared quite alluring. Her jet-black hair was pinned up high, revealing a graceful jade neck. With red lips, white teeth, and bright eyes shimmering with an unruly light, her exquisite features were even more captivating. She attracted the attention of the passing crowds; that aura of spiritual energy made people instinctively feel a sense of closeness and a desire to approach.

The two walked one after the other, wandering somewhat aimlessly. Tao Qianyu had long since been gnashing her teeth at Dongfang Xuanyin, and it seemed heaven understood her mood—just when she wanted to sleep, someone delivered a pillow.

"Little beauty, little beauty."

A wall of flesh appeared in front of Tao Qianyu. With the heavy flow of people, crowding was inevitable. Without thinking much, Tao Qianyu moved to the side, and the wall of flesh moved along with her. She moved to the other side, and the wall followed. Tao Qianyu felt something was wrong and looked up along the wall of flesh.

'Hah!' Good grief, this person's appearance was truly startling. Tao Qianyu looked at the mass of something that had appeared before her with a sense of horror.

That bloated figure looked even fatter under the white robe. Did he not know the principle that black makes one look slimmer? Yet he insisted on choosing white. She happened to be wearing white today as well. Tao Qianyu felt like vomiting blood; this rhythm of matching outfits was far too enthusiastic!

It was one thing to have a face full of fleshy features, but he also had several festering pimples. His eyes, which were already squinty, became mere slits when he forced a smile. He thought himself a dashing gentleman waving a fan, but that lewd smile at the corners of his mouth and those pair of greasy, large ears were truly...

Tao Qianyu's mood could only be described by six words: being ugly isn't a crime, but coming out to scare people is wrong, big brother. And what was the deal with that group of fierce-looking thugs behind him? Their faces were either scarred or they were one-eyed. Bandits? The underworld? How stimulating!

Don't be this scary. Having grown accustomed to the good-looking people at home, suddenly encountering such a group of monsters gave Tao Qianyu a bit of a shock. It wasn't that she was a beauty-obsessed person, it was just that the lump of meat in front of her must weigh at least two hundred pounds... conservatively estimated! The problem was, why were they all surrounding her? Did she look easy to bully? (You already look easy to bully, okay! (＾ω＾))
