Chapter 6: [She is a Loan Shark]

The moment the words left her mouth, Gu Man regretted it.

Damn it, she was now the Gu Man of the Tianyao Continent. Rumor had it she was the number one loser in Tianfang City; she must have frequented places like this often in the past.

To save the situation, Gu Man heroically rolled up her sleeves.

"It's been a long time since I've come here for a gamble. My hands are itching; let's head inside quickly."

As soon as Gu Man entered, the noisy scene inside paused for two seconds before the excitement resumed.

After a quick sweep of the gambling den's surroundings, she pushed through the restless crowd to a gambling table, reached out her hand, and said, "Hand over the silver."

As soon as she spoke, a heavy bundle appeared in her hand, nearly breaking her wrist under the weight.

"Just playing around, do you really need this much?"

"Third Young Lady, business has been bad lately. How about we give you the interest first this time? I will definitely as soon as..."

Before the man, whose face was covered in flesh and who was bowing and scraping, could finish his sentence, he was kicked to the ground.

Liu Xiahui took the large bundle of silver from Gu Man's hand. He weighed it effortlessly, and suddenly, his sword-like eyebrows arched as a cold voice hissed through his teeth.

"Why is there only this much?"

The man hurriedly crawled over on his knees to grab Liu Xiahui's leg, tears instantly rolling down his face. "Lord Liu, Lord Liu, please show mercy! Business at the gambling den has been bad lately..."

The onlookers nearby seemed used to this phenomenon. Someone shouted, and everyone quickly rejoined the gambling fray.

Liu Xiahui gave Gu Man a nudge, making an ambiguous gesture toward her.

Gu Man was completely stunned. Could someone tell her what was going on?

They stared at each other, a stagnant silence spreading between their breaths.

It was the gambling den owner on the ground who finally broke the silence, pleading with Gu Man repeatedly, "Third Young Lady, please give me a few more days! I beg you!"

His intestines were practically turning blue with regret. The Third Young Lady of the Prime Minister's Estate was a notorious tyrant and rogue in Tianfang City. He knew perfectly well she was lending money at high interest, yet he had been momentarily possessed by greed and borrowed the funds to circulate his capital.

He hadn't expected that not only would the silver he earned fall into someone else's hands, but the interest would keep snowballing. He feared that even if he sold the entire gambling den, he wouldn't be able to pay it back.

To make matters worse, Liu Xiahui, the son of the City Lord, was a close friend of hers. Not only did he stand by and watch, but he was even helping her collect the debt.

He was currently in a state where he couldn't live and couldn't die...

Watching the gambling den owner begging with snot and tears running down his face, Gu Man felt an indescribable sensation in her heart.

She curled her lip, stepped forward, and gave him a solid slap across the face.

"I'll teach you not to dodge your debts!"

After the slap, she grabbed him by the collar, hauled him up, and kicked him several times. "Hand over the silver now!!!"

"You dare to cheat even the Third Young Lady of the Prime Minister's Estate? I think you're tired of living!!"

Gu Man vented her frustration by punching and kicking the gambling den owner until she ran out of strength. Panting heavily, she pointed at the bruised and swollen owner.

"You... go find the silver immediately. In three days... if you still can't pay, I'll cut off your manhood!!" After saying this, she didn't forget to step forward and give him another kick.

"Xiao Bai, let's go!"

Xiao Bai? Was she calling him?

Liu Xiahui quickly followed. Gu Man's performance today was truly beyond his expectations.

Damn it, he finally understood why everyone thought she was abnormal; so this was her true face.

Lending at high interest, huh!

Acting like a tyrant, huh!

She, Gu Man, a highly educated PhD talent, wouldn't know how to do even this much?

In that case, she wouldn't mind continuing the former Gu Man's brilliant life from now on!!!

"Xiao Man, I find you are exceptionally fierce today, aren't you?"

"Is that so?" Gu Man raised an eyebrow, looking at the handsome and elegant Liu Xiahui behind her.

With such a peerless beauty as a companion and the incredibly noble status of the Prime Minister's Third Young Lady, what did it matter if she had traveled to this world of monsters and demons? She could still live a prosperous life!

"Which other fellows in the city owe us silver?"

"There's also the Tianci Restaurant in the east of the city, the Changfeng Escort Agency, the Li Family Silk Shop..."

Gu Man didn't remember a single thing Liu Xiahui said. Regardless, she knew that almost every shop in Tianfang City owed her, Gu Man, silver.

"I'm rich, hahaha..."

As the sky gradually darkened, the certain woman, who had wandered from street to alley feeling quite satisfied, smacked her lips. Drenched in sweat, she hung herself onto the certain man, climbing up brazenly. Like a tired cat, she narrowed her eyes and began to act spoiled.

"Xiao Bai, I want you to carry me back!" After saying this, without waiting for his reaction, she climbed onto his broad back of her own accord.

For a man who had cultivated to the Phantom God stage, carrying this soft little woman was still as light as a feather.

It was just that the silver this girl had scavenged today was quite heavy.

"Xiao Bai, you should know that I don't even know how to use basic spells, right? Do you know why?"
