The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1602 - 1601: Bandit Gang

"Which young girl isn't full of spring? If I could, I wouldn't want to come to such a place alone either; I'd want to stay by the side of the man I love. But in this world, how many things actually go the way we want?"Wen Jinjin looked at Bei Lin and remembered herself. Her experiences were quite similar to Bei Lin's, although she was slightly better off because she had received an ancient medical inheritance and became a genius; her beauty hadn't been affected. That's all.

"Hey, looks like we're both in the same boat. I can take what you just said as words to comfort me, right?"

Bei Lin felt Wen Jinjin was very kind, and spoke freely with her.

"Tell me what medicinal herbs you need and how to prepare them. I'll help you make the medicine. Your body needs a lot of rest right now. Until true love finds you, don't let your health collapse first, got it?"

As she spoke, Bei Lin also helped to tuck in Wen Jinjin's quilt, worried the wind might get inside.

"Thank you."

Wen Jinjin was touched and vowed to herself to try her best to cure the mysterious ailment plaguing Bei Lin.

In Wen Jinjin's medicinal material storage, there were still enough herbs needed for her treatment. Since she had gained the medical inheritance, she had also obtained a medicinal material storage that had everything and was inexhaustible. Earlier, saying she couldn't afford to subsidize the herb costs was just an excuse by Wen Jinjin. People who are used to sweet benefits tend to overreach, and fortunately, Wen Jinjin's probing showed her the true colors of those she had helped before.

She handed the needed herbs to Bei Lin and reminded her what to keep in mind when preparing the medicine. After Bei Lin went to the kitchen, Wen Jinjin finally calmed down to think about how to address the aging symptoms in Bei Lin.

This side had Wen Jinjin and Bei Lin getting along quite well, but Tang Rao on the other hand was not as fortunate as Bei Lin.

"Hey kid, do you know the rules of Peach Blossom Land? You're an outsider; we guys find it hard to get you to pay a protection fee. Do you think there aren't any bad people in Peach Blossom Land?"

Tang Rao just wanted to reach the end of Peach Blossom Land quickly, but didn't expect to encounter thieves, sham drug sellers, people dragging customers to drink, and now a group of bandits along the way from Bei Lin's place to his destination.

Is this the so-called 'Peach Blossom Land'? How is it completely unlike what the books depicted during childhood?

There were about a dozen bandits in front of him, each strong and sturdy, using the tactic of surrounding one with ten. Other people would likely have been caught long ago; these bandits considered Tang Rao as easy prey, talking to enjoy the 'hunt'.

"Brothers, does everyone in Peach Blossom Land have an overly high self-esteem? Like, how do I explain this... suppose you're a rabbit, but when you encounter a lion, you can't help but provoke it?"

Tang Rao didn't know how else to describe it; he felt he was vivid and clear enough. If they were sensible, they would leave immediately, but to his surprise, they stood there laughing.

Is it that funny?

Tang Rao touched his face, feeling there was nothing wrong with what he said.

"Kid, are you sure you're not joking with us? A lion? You?"

Even more irritating, in Tang Rao's eyes, these strong men were merely like little white rabbits. White rabbits? Uttering such words was an insult to them. Initially, they just wanted to rob Tang Rao, but now they wanted to teach him a lesson, to show him his place.

"Yeah, I'm a lion and you're little white rabbits. I could make you fall with just a finger."

Tang Rao was in a hurry. He wasn't a diplomat, didn't know how to negotiate with bandits. The words had gone this far, if they still didn't get it, he could only teach them a lesson.

"Brothers, get him! Today we're going to beat this kid into a pulp and see how much more he can insult us!"

The beefy leader spoke and launched a punch at Tang Rao.

Anyone without power hit by this punch would at least have bones fractured. But here's the twist: he wasn't facing an ordinary person, but Tang Rao, a man at the peak of mid-level deity, soon to become a late-level deity. If a punch could get close to injuring Tang Rao, then Tang Rao wouldn't be worth mentioning.

The punch was still in the air when a cracking sound was heard; the bones shattered, but not Tang Rao's, it was the beefy man's.

"Ouch!"

A grown man, due to the pain, immediately fell and rolled on the ground, tears involuntarily streaming, all of his earlier arrogance gone.

"See, I told you, you are no match for me. Before coming to Peach Blossom Land, I swore I wouldn't kill here, but you just had to come to me. What can I do, I'm in despair."

With just a move, Tang Rao made those behind him freeze with fear, not daring to act rashly again.

When the beefy man threw his punch, they could still see the trajectory, but when Tang Rao grabbed the man's fist and shattered it, they simply couldn't catch a glimpse of it.

They had harassed the wrong person; the hunter became the hunted.

"Boss, what do we do now? I feel this kid is really odd. Maybe we should just go back, I don't believe we won't have a chance to deal with him while he's in Peach Blossom Land!"

The short man was frightened, feigned calmness and sought advice from the slightly darker-skinned man behind him, the leader of their small group.

The burly man understood what the short man meant, throwing a taunt to save face for their dozen-person crew. If they left now, they could keep some dignity, but would they be satisfied to walk away?

No!

There was a person still rolling and crying on the ground. Without avenging his brother, how could he continue being the leader?

"Leave? Why leave? Your brother is still rolling on the ground. Are we going back just like that? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed?"

The short man not only failed to get commendation, but also angered the leader by misspeaking, receiving a painful knock on the head, and dared not speak further.

"Kid, seems you have some skill after all. Then I won't waste my breath. Brothers, all of you, go!"

The burly man gestured, and everyone lunged at Tang Rao.

Like the fallen man thought, they believed Tang Rao was all talk, thinking his combat skills were just showy tricks.
