Chapter 8: Laughing So Hard That Chrysanthemums Bloom

Zhixiang chuckled inwardly; the young lady's little money-grubber disease was acting up again. This ugly fat man wouldn't have such an easy time today. Following behind the young lady, she turned back and shot a cold glance at Zhen Yingjun.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and keep up."

"Oh, oh, this young master is coming right now."

After saying that, Zhen Yingjun roared to the group of thugs behind him, "All of you, follow us!"

However, before they could follow, Zhixiang turned back around again.

"Wait a moment. My young master said, why bring so many people to a meal? The owner will think I've brought a gang of bandits to rob and smash the shop. We are all refined people, so of course we should go to Chenliu Xin. Young Master Zhen and that one with nothing on his face should stay behind; that way, it won't affect the image or the appetite. Young Master Zhen wouldn't like so many people disturbing him either, right?"

The first part of her sentence wasn't the point, but the last part made Zhen Yingjun's eyes light up. So, this young master wanted to spend time alone with him. Haha, everything came easy without any effort.

"You, stay behind! All of you, go back! Don't get in this great lord's way!" After saying that, he scurried after her.

With just these two little ones with their thin arms and legs, they wouldn't be able to stir up any waves even on his turf.

The dismissed thugs were truly unwilling in their hearts. Who gave her the right to boss them around? They were clearly used to acting like bullies in Tianhuang City, and being looked down upon by such a seemingly weak young master caused their anger to gradually turn into resentment. A red light appeared in their eyes, and they roared angrily at the passersby who were cautiously walking past them, "What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I'll hack you down!" They brandished the large sabers in their hands, gleaming brightly, looking as if blood would be spilled in the next second.

The people were so scared they ran even faster, nearly tripping over themselves. Truly, they were villains who bullied the innocent and dominated the markets!

However, in less than a moment, they all began to feel strange all over their bodies.

"B-Big brother, my back is so itchy. You, you quickly help me scratch it. Ah, I can't take it, it's itchily dying!"

"You, you motherf***er! I... I can't even worry about scratching myself, what are you blabbering about? Ah, ah, it's itchily dying! Quickly scratch it for me, quick!"

No matter how loudly he roared, it was useless; they couldn't even take care of themselves and began rolling on the ground one after another. At that moment, someone said that jumping into the river would feel better. They all struggled to stand up and jumped into the water like dumplings being dropped into a pot, making 'plop plop' sounds. This startled the ducks swimming in the river, which immediately went 'quack quack quack' as if resisting the invaders. The flock of ducks flew chaotically, flying around over the heads of those people; it was quite a lively scene.

The passing crowds were all amused. Haha! Truly, only a villain can grind down another villain!

On this side, Zhen Yingjun was feeling high-spirited. To have encountered such an easy-to-deceive little white rabbit, so easy to coax, that a single meal could settle it. Haha~ The more he thought about it, the more his face bloomed like a field of chrysanthemums.

As the group walked toward the tavern with their own various thoughts, the commoners watching from afar were not feeling so lighthearted.

Person A: "Do you think that young master is truly foolish or just acting? He didn't see that the villain Zhen is not to be trifled with, yet he actually walked off with him. This is bad; the young master and his servant certainly won't escape his clutches."

Passerby B: "Shh, keep your voice down. Who doesn't know that the villain has no regard for gender? It's appalling."

Passerby C: "Exactly, exactly. Relying on having some imperial relatives to act like a tyrant. If you ask me, heaven will deal with him sooner or later."

Passerby D: "It's just a pity for those two young masters. They must be inexperienced in the ways of the world, pure and easy to trick."

"Sigh."

The crowd let out a wave of regretful sighs.

They all looked heartbroken. One had to know that it had been a long time since any handsome young men had gone out to stroll the streets, and today such an innocent and cute young master came along, only to... sigh, another wave of sighs followed.
