Chapter 287: The Little Beauty Goes Wild
Facing the threat from My Lady, Miss Xia was not afraid at all. She took two steps closer and smiled sweetly, "You really have self-awareness; even you admit you're an old woman. Oh, but it’s fine. I see you’re just over fifty, right? From my perspective, if you paid more attention to your upkeep, you might still have a chance at youth!"
My Lady was infuriated and shouted, "I am, uh, Sister, only twenty-eight years old! I am in the prime of my youth! How dare you say I'm over fifty!"
"Still in your prime? How ridiculous! I think you’re more like the grandmother of a prime young lady!"
"What... how can you speak like that?"
"Indeed, age has taken its toll; even your hearing seems to be failing. Can't you tell how I’m speaking? Or should I get you a hearing aid?"
Miss Xia's words were sharp, making My Lady tremble with rage.
"How could that scoundrel of a mother give birth to you?" My Lady roared in fury.
Slap!
The sound of the slap was crisp and resonated throughout the hall.
Not only did My Lady not expect this girl to dare hit her, but even Xiao Yun was stunned. This Miss Xia was surprisingly fierce! Remembering how she looked cornered by a few thugs on the street, she seemed like a completely different person now.
"Let me tell you, no matter what you say, do not insult my mother!" Miss Xia said coldly with her willow-like brows raised.
My Lady was clearly on the verge of collapsing with anger, trembling all over like a leaf, pointing at Miss Xia with a finger, her lips quivering but unable to utter a word.
Suddenly, she turned to her two little lackeys and shouted, "You two gluttons, why aren't you going up to beat this bastard for me!"
Upon hearing My Lady, the two Pretty Boys rolled up their sleeves and let out a loud roar as they charged forward.
Xiao Yun felt a chill in his gaze; what kind of men would gang up on a woman? Just as he was about to step in, Niu Tian pulled him aside and said with a smile, "Let them have their fun!"
Taken aback by Niu Tian's words, Xiao Yun was surprised when Miss Xia exploded with rage, shouting, "Do you dare insult my mother?"
It seemed that the word "mother" held sacred and inviolable significance in Miss Xia's heart. Xiao Yun secretly nodded, feeling a surge of admiration for her.
As the two Pretty Boys lunged forward, Miss Xia slipped and swiftly dodged to the side. Then, with a graceful flip, she closed in on My Lady again and slapped her hard across the face.
"Ouch!" My Lady covered her swollen face, nearly crying out loud.
Bang! Bang!
In an instant, Miss Xia spun around, delivering alternating kicks with her legs. The two Pretty Boys, who had just approached her, fell to the ground, crying out in pain.
One had blood streaming from his nose.
The other Pretty Boy had turned into a sight resembling a black chicken's face.
The crowd nearby clapped and cheered.
"Just wait, you'll see how I deal with you!" My Lady huffed angrily as she slipped out the door with her two little followers.
The lobby manager stood silently by, waiting for My Lady to leave. After she was gone, she approached Miss Xia with a worried expression and said, "Miss Xia, that woman looks familiar. She seems to be Hong Qichang's woman from the Flying Tiger Gang. She has been to our End of the World establishment twice, and she's trouble; every time she comes, she likes to take over other people's private rooms. You'd better find another place to eat."
Uh, she's Hong Qichang's woman?
Xiao Yun was taken aback; wasn't that woman named Liu Cai Chun?
Then it hit her that her thinking was too simplistic. With someone like Hong Qichang, how could he possibly have only one woman? Perhaps the woman named Hong was just a mistress he kept on the side.
A mistress of a gang leader, and she was so arrogant!
"Sister Han,"
Miss Xia understood that the lobby manager was concerned for her safety and smiled, saying, "I don't care who she is to Hong Qichang. She can bring people to cause trouble all she wants; as long as I'm in the right, what do I have to fear? Is this world really just a paradise for bullies?"
Xiao Yun wholeheartedly agreed with her sentiment. In life and in actions, one must stand on principle; only when one is justified can they stand tall.
The Bone Painter emphasizes having backbone; without it, one cannot stand firm. Without principles, one lacks the backbone needed to hold their head high in this world.
However, it is perplexing that many people cling to their principles but shrink back when faced with unreasonable bullies. This behavior emboldens those who prey on the weak and allows them to act with impunity.
If more people could think like Miss Xia, would there still be room in this world for those evildoers to thrive?
Xiao Yun's fondness for Miss Xia increased severalfold, and he couldn't help but glance at her a couple more times. This girl was not only beautiful but also had a good character.
Especially her flawless Bone, delicate and lovely, exuding a sense of righteous spirit from her Qi Mechanism.
However, seeing her current demeanor and recalling her timid state on the street left Xiao Yun somewhat puzzled.
"Let's go to the Imperial Consort Hall!" Miss Xia led them into the elevator.
In fact, three people dining didn't require such a grand hall, but Miss Xia held a VIP gold card for this hotel and was a long-term customer, so why not take advantage of it?
Upon entering the Imperial Consort Hall, Miss Xia took the menu from the waiter and quickly marked over ten dishes with a ballpoint pen, also ordering two bottles of red wine.
After the waiter left, Xiao Yun frowned and said, "Miss Xia, ordering so many dishes means we won't finish them. Isn't that wasteful?"
"Hehe, Brother Xiao, if we can't finish it, I'll just pack it up to take home. It saves me from buying groceries and can last me and my mom for a few days!" Miss Xia replied with a smile.
At that moment, Niu Tian introduced Xiao Yun to his cousin named Xia Xiaoya. She had spent two years in a martial arts school and lost her father early; now she lived with her mother.
Xiao Yun nodded and smiled, "No wonder Xiao Ya has impressive skills; it turns out she has trained. By the way, why didn't I see you deal with those thugs on the street?"
Xia Xiaoya blushed and said, "At that time, I thought I might really injure that person. I was quite worried; no matter what, it wouldn't be right to hurt someone."
Xiao Yun chuckled upon hearing this; it turned out this young woman had a sense of justice.
"However, if they truly pushed me to my limits, I wouldn't hold back. Just when I was considering whether to act or not, my cousin appeared. So I thought, why not let him handle that villain!" Xia Xiaoya explained with a smile like a little fox.
"You actually think of me as a bad person,"
Niu Tian said with a deliberately displeased expression. "I'll definitely tell Aunt about this next time, and let her deal with you!"
Everyone laughed for a while, and Xia Xiaoya looked at Niu Tian and said, "Cousin, you haven't introduced what Brother Xiao does yet."
Niu Tian smiled and replied, "What do you think he looks like he does?"
"Well, um,"
Xia Xiaoya's big eyes sparkled as she examined Xiao Yun. "His facial features are distinct, his brows and eyes are slightly refined, he looks a bit lecherous when looking at beautiful women, his lips are sexy with a slight smile at the corners, and he seems to love laughing. He must be an artist or something!"
She made herself sound like a fortune teller, while Xiao Yun was sweating profusely. Does he really look that lecherous when looking at beautiful women?
Niu Tian laughed heartily. "Xiao Ya, my Brother Xiao is a Bone Painter. He specializes in painting bones to treat illnesses. Your Cousin Miaozhen's back pain was cured by him."
"What? Painting... can painting bones really cure illnesses?" Xia Xiaoya stared at Xiao Yun with a dazed expression. "Is that true?"
Xiao Yun replied, "It's not true; don't listen to your cousin's nonsense."
"Impossible! My cousin is an honest person; he never tells lies!" Xia Xiaoya insisted.
The idea of treating illnesses by painting bones isn't something that can be easily explained to others. After all, it's quite mysterious, and if not explained well, people might think he's just a con artist.
Xiao Yun didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer, so he quickly changed the subject and asked Niu Tian, "Brother Niu, why didn't you drive a taxi today?"
Niu Tian said, "I stopped working a few days ago. Someone invited me to be a security guard, and the monthly salary is quite good."
"Oh, where are you working as a security guard?" Xiao Yun was taken aback.
Xiao Yun knew that Niu Tian was a Fire Attribute User, but his abilities had not been developed at all. He had often thought about how to help him break through this barrier and bring him into his company as a security guard. He didn't expect someone to get there first.
Niu Tian nodded and said, "I'm working as a security guard at the Royal Luxury Entertainment Club. They are currently busy with renovations, and once they officially open, I can start working there directly!"
To think that the place he would be working at was the Royal Luxury Entertainment Club made Xiao Yun feel ecstatic. If Niu Tian was there, it would be much easier for him to investigate the background of this entertainment venue.
He smiled and said, "Congratulations, Brother Niu! I wonder who introduced you to this job!"
Niu Tian looked at Xia Xiaoya and replied with a smile, "It was her mother, my Aunt, who introduced me. Her mother is a manager at the Royal Luxury Entertainment Club. Without her, how could I get into such a high-end place?"
Now it made sense. Xiao Yun smiled at Xia Xiaoya and said, "Wow, Xiao Ya, your mother must be an incredibly talented person!"
"Of course! Brother Xiao, since I have a good impression of you, if you ever want to work there too, just let me know and I'll talk to my mom!" Xia Xiaoya said playfully while winking at him.
The flirtatious expression on her face made Xiao Yun feel a flutter in his heart and a tingling sensation throughout his body. He thought to himself that he really needed to build a good relationship with this little beauty!
