"..."

Just arrived in Ancient Nara, not targeted by the Ancient Cultivators and not by that guy either, but instead, I got targeted by this group of punks.

Xu Fan felt genuinely helpless.

Stirrers, they really are everywhere.

"Alright, I'll do as you say."

Without arguing, Xu Fan chuckled, turned his head, and walked towards Asao Mai.

Asao Mai stood there dumbfounded, already scared to death.

"Hey, how are you going to compensate me?"

Xu Fan walked up to Asao Mai, teasing her, and Asao Mai couldn't help but roll her eyes at Xu Fan!

Did he think she wanted to drag him into this mess?!

After glaring at Xu Fan, Asao Mai looked at the few henchmen.

"Hey, I don't know him, just let him go."

"Haha! Mai-chan, do you think our eyes are just decorations?"

The henchmen completely disregarded Asao Mai's words, laughing as their expressions turned sinister.

"Hurry up! Open the door!"

"..."

Now they've come knocking; if we don't do as they say, they might become even more ruthless.

Asao Mai suppressed her anger and obediently opened the door.

Immediately, under the urging of the henchmen, she and Xu Fan went back inside.

"Onii-chan! We've finished washing the dishes. You and oni-chan better not sneak kisses outside anymore..."

Inside the house, four little girls hearing the footsteps approached with giggles.

However, before finishing their sentence, they saw the henchmen behind the two and immediately started crying!

"O... Onii-chan, wh... why have they come again..."

Clearly, it's not the first time they've dealt with these henchmen; to the little girls, they seemed like demons.

Seeing their tears, Asao Mai felt a pang of sympathy and rushed to console them.

"Look, you guys be good, Onii-chan won't let them hurt you."

"Pfft."

The comforting words were hardly believable; Xu Fan, standing by, couldn't help but laugh.

He didn't rush to take action, instead stayed aside to figure out exactly what was going on.

"Hey? Mai-chan, you've got quite the knack for soothing kids, huh?"

Asao Mai's words directly provoked the henchmen to laughter.

Just a fragile woman, a baseball bat would settle it!

Protect the kids? Nonsense!

"Alright, we don't want to waste more time with you."

"Did you think moving away meant we wouldn't find you?"

"Today, you better pay back the money owed."

Seeing the fierceness in their eyes, Asao Mai bravely faced the henchmen while protectively shielding the little girls.

She bravely met their eyes and said, "The money... I'll pay you back in a few days..."

Lately, dealing with moving house and caring for the four girls, Asao Mai barely had any money left.

Not to mention that meeting Xu Fan today still yielded zero income.

Right now, she really couldn't produce the money.

"Y... You rest assured, I won't run this time. When the time comes, I'll make sure to pay you back every cent."

Only worrying that these guys might harm the little girls, Asao Mai emphasized firmly.

"Huh, Mai-chan, do you think we'd still fall for your empty promises?"

Unfortunately, the henchmen totally disregarded Asao Mai's words.

"If you can't pay, fine, we have other ways to settle the debt."

"Mai-chan, with your looks, if you start making films, I believe you'd earn quite a bit!"

"No... That's impossible!"

Hearing the words 'making films' and seeing the lewd looks in their eyes, Asao Mai obviously understood their meaning.

She rejected them without hesitation!

"Hmph, if you don't agree, it's not up to you!"

Asao Mai's resistance directly provoked the henchmen's anger, snorting coldly, they wanted to take her away.

The little girls were scared, and their cries grew even louder.

With teary eyes, they looked at Xu Fan and began to plead.

"Onii-chan's boyfriend, please, save Onii-chan..."

"Don't!"

Hearing the plea, Asao Mai silently thought things weren't looking good.

This guy could even be robbed by her, where would he find the guts to take on the henchmen?

It was simply impossible.

Moreover, their plea would likely make the henchmen even less likely to spare Xu Fan.

"Hey? Kid, turns out you have a sweet deal with Mai-chan?"

"Good then, her debt must be repaid by you."

Just as Asao Mai feared, upon hearing the pleas of the little girls, the henchmen looked pleasantly surprised at Xu Fan.

They would take Asao Mai and fleece this sitting duck too!

"Why are you just standing there? Run for it!"

Seeing Xu Fan standing there dumbly, Asao Mai couldn't help but shout!

"Why should I run..."

Xu Fan turned back and gave Asao Mai a look.

Then, he glanced at the henchmen.

"Guys, let's put the debt aside for a moment, I have a question for you."

"What?"

Honestly, the calmness of the young man puzzled the henchmen.

At this critical moment, he still had the mind to ask questions?

"Um, the film you're getting her to shoot, is it the kind where you wear clothes or without clothes?"

"Pfft."

They really didn't expect Xu Fan's question would be like this.

The henchmen laughed and cursed.

"Baka!"

"Of course, without clothes!"

"Oh, I see."

After receiving their answer, Xu Fan expressionlessly said "oh," turned away from them, and walked towards the little girls.

"There, don't cry."

"Listen to oni-chan, turn around."

Carefully wiping away their tears, Xu Fan got them to turn away.

Then, he approached Asao Mai.

Smiling, he wiped away the tears on her cheeks and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite loyal."

This woman would rather die than drag him into it, slightly arrogant but not inherently bad.

Xu Fan wiped her tears, turned her around, and then faced the henchmen.

"Hey? Kid, planning to play the hero?"

"I must tell you, the money they owe doesn't come..."

Xu Fan's actions clearly showed he intended to be the hero, the henchmen laughed slyly and mocked.

However, before they finished speaking, Xu Fan's figure flashed, and in the next moment, he was right in front of them!

With a loud thud!

Only to see their leader fly out directly!

With a thud, like a cannonball, the guy crashed onto the ground.

Xu Fan withdrew his hand, coldly looked at them, and snorted: "Saying things like that in front of kids, aren't you afraid of setting a bad example?"
