The local wealthy man noticed Lan Lan’s sudden icy demeanor, which made her seem even more alluring. An obscene smile crept across his face as he suggested, “As long as you come with me, I can get you as many girls like this as you want.” He reached out to touch Lan Lan’s delicate face, but before he could, she slapped him hard.
“You dare hit me?” The local wealthy man looked at Lan Lan in disbelief, his face shifting from embarrassment to rage. “You damn whore, since you won’t take the toast, I’ll make you drink the punishment. Get her!” He ordered his men to use force and drag her home.
Before they could get close, several men in black jumped out from the crowd.
After a series of “pili-palala” sounds, the local wealthy man and his men collapsed with swollen faces, crying out in pain. The wealthy man shook his dazed head, trying to see who hit him. At that moment, a large foot stomped on him, causing a crisp sound from his bones. “Mercy, great hero! I won’t do it again!” he pleaded.
“This is a lesson for you. Next time, be careful about who you provoke. Not everyone is someone you can mess with. You won’t be so lucky next time,” warned the man standing over him, patting his distorted face and causing him more pain. He could only squint as they retreated.
Lan Lan recognized that those who had come to her rescue were from the Dark Hall. Long Junhao had sent several people to follow them, ready to assist if problems arose.
How awesome! She could be a hero without lifting a finger. Lan Lan felt inwardly delighted.
“Xiaoyue, hurry up, help the girl settle things and then bring her back. I’ll take the children back first.” She instructed Xiaoyue, leading the children toward the royal residence.
“Mom, you’re so amazing!” Xiner said admiringly.
“Xiner, be good. People should stand up for justice and help when they see injustice. Do you understand?”
She turned back and asked Long Zhen and Long Lei.
“Understood! I want to be a powerful hero, just like Dad!” Long Zhen answered loudly.
“Good child.” Lan Lan patted Long Zhen’s head and continued walking, chuckling at the discussions about her from behind.
