Street Thugs (Part 1)

After dusk, night had fallen.

At this moment, they were still about two kilometers away from Guanyang City…

Considered the outskirts…

Yet there were still scattered figures moving about.

Their clothing was completely different from Li Miaosheng’s—

Bright, colorful outfits,

And shorts so short they barely covered anything.

All of this filled him with curiosity……

But the most eye-catching thing—

Were the fair, exposed legs everywhere.

Especially among some girls wearing heavy makeup—

The thicker the makeup, the more revealing the outfit…

There was even one girl who appeared completely naked walking down the street…..

Of course—

Without using Daoist perception, it wouldn’t be obvious.

But having cultivated, his vision was sharper and clearer than normal people’s…

That “naked” girl, in modern terms, was actually body-painted—

Using paint as clothing, drawn directly onto her body.

“Th-this… this is too bold!!”

Li Miaosheng exclaimed in shock.

His voice drew the attention of a few passersby…

Realizing he was being noticed, he quickly covered his mouth—

And awkwardly smiled at them…

Thinking to himself:

{The world really has changed so much…

In ancient times, not wearing clothes was shameful—

Now walking around like that seems completely confident…}

{Ahem… don’t look, don’t speak of impropriety…}

He lowered his head and began wandering aimlessly……

But before long—

He found himself walking into a dark, shadowy path.

Strangely—

There was a faint aura of resentment in the air.

The streetlights flickered—

On, off, on, off…

Just then—

He suddenly felt something lick his neck.

That wet sensation made his scalp go numb.

His steps quickened instinctively….

Until he finally exited that road—

And arrived at a brightly lit plaza.

The place was surprisingly crowded.

A group of elderly people had brought speakers and were dancing right there—

Occupying most of the square.

Meanwhile, fountains sprayed water beautifully.

Children ran through them, laughing joyfully…

………….

Looking at this lively scene—

Li Miaosheng didn’t know what to do.

Instead, he found a bench and slowly sat down.

His outfit drew a lot of attention in the plaza…

His youthful yet determined face still carried a faint smile.

Many girls seemed intrigued—

Pointing at him, whispering, and giggling…

But his peaceful moment didn’t last long.

Suddenly—

A cold voice echoed in his mind:

“How dare they flirt with my dear husband? Do those insects have a death wish?”

The sudden voice startled him.

He quickly pushed himself up from the bench.

{Uh… ah! Miss Fox Immortal…}

“Call me wife~! Hmph!”

Her alluring voice interrupted him immediately.

{No! Miss Fox Immortal—talk about reincarnation belongs to the past life. In this life, I’m Li Miaosheng, and the only woman I know is my junior sister…}

“Then if you won’t call me that, I’ll just go kill them.”

Her tone was calm—

But her words were terrifying.

{W-wife! Please don’t! Killing people is not okay! I’ll end up in prison! Please don’t do that, I’m begging you!}

His survival instincts kicked in instantly.

He even imagined himself kowtowing repeatedly in his mind to show sincerity.

Seeing his reaction—

Su Jiuli didn’t say much.

Instead, she quietly chuckled, amused.

Meanwhile—

His constantly changing facial expressions caught the attention of some girls.

They slowly approached, curious about what was going on.

But the moment they got closer—

Li Miaosheng sensed something was off.

He immediately ran away—

All the way behind a dark public restroom.

“Huff… huff… heavens, why give me such a—”

Before he could finish—

A noise nearby caught his attention…

Not far away—

A girl with twin ponytails was being cornered by a group of men.

Their appearance clearly marked them as trouble—

Half-dressed, with strange tattoos covering their backs….

Feeling uneasy, Li Miaosheng cautiously moved closer.

But what he saw next—

The men began grabbing at the girl’s clothes, laughing crudely…

He was about to step in and stop them—

When a familiar voice sounded in his mind:

“My dear husband, are you planning to help her? I suggest you don’t. This is her fate. Even losing her purity is part of it. If you interfere, you may be dragged into consequences……..”

{Then… do you have any way to help her…?}

“Call me wife.”

Su Jiuli said coldly.

The protagonist slapped his face.

“Alright… wife.”

He spoke word by word.

“Then please tell me—is there any way to help her? A girl’s dignity is one of the most important things in her life! I… I don’t want to witness this and pretend I didn’t see it. I don’t want to live with regret while she suffers forever!”

She sighed.

“Then I’m sorry—I don’t like women, nor do I have time to involve myself in a fleeting hundred-year fate. I’m afraid I can’t help…”

“Then—Bai Ze?! Bai Ze, do you have any—”

“Zzz… snore…”

Li Miaosheng: “……………….”

He hesitated.

Should he help her?

Even if he did, he didn’t know what would happen to him.

But if he didn’t…

He lowered his head, deep in thought.

“No need to ruin your path for a mere human. Your goal in this life is to become immortal. Listen to me—don’t help. Even if you save her now, you can’t save her forever. You’ll only bring trouble upon yourself…..”

Seeing his struggle, Su Jiuli tried to persuade him—

Hoping he would just walk away.

But just as he was about to give up—

The girl noticed his silhouette in the darkness.

“Help—”

She tried to speak—

But a greasy hand covered her mouth.

………….

She was in despair.

Originally, she had come out for a walk with her friend.

But somehow—

A group of thugs started following them.

They grew scared and walked faster—

But the men kept up.

With no other choice—

Her friend said she could run faster and would go get help from the police…

But things didn’t go as planned.

The moment her friend left—

The group rushed in and cornered her.

Facing five or six men—

All different, all threatening…

Fear consumed her completely.
