"Roar~!"

A low lion's roar echoed, making Ling Xiaoyu and Ruan Xinxue jump as the Fire Flame Lion leapt out.

"Xiao Yan, come here."

Seeing that the Fire Flame Lion startled the two ladies, Qin Yang quickly called the lion over, and it obediently lay down beside him.

"Are you two alright?"

Qin Yang asked the two ladies with concern, knowing that without his command, the Fire Flame Lion would not harm innocent mortals.

"Qin Yang, is this...?"

Ruan Xinxue asked in surprise. Could this be Qin Yang's pet? A little rascal actually keeping a lion as a pet? It far exceeded her imagination.

"His name is Xiao Yan, he's very well-behaved and won't hurt you."

Qin Yang said with a smile. His heart and spirit had a connection with the Fire Flame Lion, ensuring it wouldn't harm the two ladies.

Roar!

After speaking, the Fire Flame Lion gave a gentle roar and rubbed its huge head against the hem of Ruan Xinxue's pants, looking at her with a fawning expression in its lion eyes.

After advancing to the Profound Tier, the Fire Flame Lion's intelligence had awakened a bit, naturally understanding that the two ladies were closely linked to its master, Qin Yang.

"Haha, how cute!"

Seeing the Fire Flame Lion being so docile, Ruan Xinxue became bolder and tentatively petted its head.

The Fire Flame Lion squinted and rubbed its head against Ruan Xinxue's palm, making her giggle uncontrollably.

"This should be a demon beast mount, right?"

Ling Xiaoyu steadied herself and, with a hint of surprise in her bright eyes, said, "My grandpa has a Scarlet Horned Tiger, but he's so stingy that he never lets me ride it."

"Haha, if you want to ride, just go ahead."

Qin Yang smiled and said, it seemed the Ling Family that this cool girl belonged to was not simple either, as the Scarlet Horned Tiger was not an ordinary demon beast.

"Really?"

A gleam of joy appeared in Ling Xiaoyu's eyes, and she immediately walked over. Seeing that the Fire Flame Lion did not resist, she sat on its back.

The Fire Flame Lion stood up, carrying Ling Xiaoyu as it ran around the yard, finally leaping into the swimming pool, splashing water which soaked Ling Xiaoyu's clothes.

"Zilan, Sister Xinxue, come quickly, haha... it's so much fun." The girl's cheerful laughter rang out in the yard.

After frolicking with the Fire Flame Lion for a while, the sky darkened.

Night fell, yet the apartment was brightly lit.

On the dining table were four steaming pots of medicinal cuisine, and the four of them chatted and laughed as they ate the delicious dishes. Zilan, Ruan Xinxue, and Ling Xiaoyu quickly became familiar with each other.

"Zilan, you wear my clothes for now. We'll go to the night market together later."

Ling Xiaoyu took Zilan to her room. The two girls' bodies and heights were similar, so Ling Xiaoyu's clothes naturally fit Zilan well.

Once they came out, Zilan had transformed into a stylish urban girl, wearing blue jeans that accentuated her graceful curves and a light purple short-sleeved top.

"How do I look, Brother Qin Yang?"

Zilan blinked her eyes and asked.

Qin Yang smiled and nodded. Zilan's outfit was slightly different from her previous style, now looking like a fresh and playful city girl.

Sometimes Qin Yang had to admit, this was a world that favored appearances—pretty girls looked good even in rags.

Since he promised to take Zilan out for fun, he naturally wouldn't go back on his word.

At seven in the evening, it was the busiest time for night markets.

Qin Yang drove a Ferrari, taking Ruan Xinxue, Zilan, and Ling Xiaoyu to Tianbei Road Commercial Street.

Tianbei Road Commercial Street was the largest and most bustling commercial street in Yunshui City. Last time, Qin Yang and Ruan Xinxue were here shopping for clothes when they were attacked by the Dark Baron.

The commercial street was even livelier at night, with bright lights in every shop, throngs of people, and street vendors selling various snacks.

"Wow, there are so many people here."

Zilan's eyes sparkled with excitement. There was no such bustling scene in the Ancient Martial Realm.

Zilan and Ling Xiaoyu walked ahead, looking around and having great fun, while Qin Yang and Ruan Xinxue followed behind.

"Zilan and Xiaoyu seem to get along well."

Watching the two girls wandering around ahead, Ruan Xinxue said with a smile.

"Yeah."

Qin Yang nodded with a smile. Xiaoyu worked as a stone gambling consultant at Ruan Sister's jewelry company and only accompanied them for gem procurement. Her free time was quite ample, and now with Zilan, they could often have fun together.

Beautiful women always drew countless gazes wherever they went. Zilan and Ling Xiaoyu were especially youthful and attractive, and with Ruan Xinxue by their side, the heads turned one hundred percent, with many envious glances directed at Qin Yang.

"This guy sure is damn lucky, having three beauties with him,"

By the side of the commercial street, in a black Audi, Wang Dahai held a cigarette in his mouth, looking a bit glum.

This evening, as Shenghai Film and Television's deputy general manager, he suffered a major embarrassment. He was lightly tapped by a little girl and fainted, and on top of that, he had a woman's butt pressed on his face for a few minutes. The photos even circulated online.

"Hmph, the artist I've set my sights on won't escape my grasp easily,"

Looking at Zilan's youthful and beautiful back, Wang Dahai snorted coldly.

In the back seat of Wang Dahai's Audi, two men were sitting.

One of the two was tall and sturdy, with a bald head and a fierce look on his face, resembling a gorilla, while the other had red hair, wore a thick gold chain, and was playing with a sharp dagger with practiced ease.

"In a moment, in front of those three women, give that kid ten slaps first to thoroughly humiliate him. Then break his legs for me, and finally, bring the girl in the purple short-sleeve shirt to the car."

Wang Dahai instructed the two behind him.

As the deputy general manager of Shenghai Film and Television Company, due to some issues with venues, he inevitably dealt with some local thugs. Naturally, they also kept some hoodlums on hand to handle things.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang. Isn't it just dealing with a young punk? Leave it to my brother and me. However, I'm wondering what the payoff is this time...?"

The redhead paused his dagger play and asked with a smile.

"Ten thousand yuan."

Wang Dahai thought for a moment and said, considering that breaking that kid's legs would take some effort.

"Haha, generous as always, Mr. Wang. Let's go, Iron Head, time to earn some extra cash tonight."

The redhead said to Wang Dahai, then sheathed the dagger and patted the gorilla-like bald man beside him.

Zilan and Ling Xiaoyu were shopping around, buying quite a few things they were interested in, and naturally, the burden of carrying things fell to Qin Yang.

"Brother Qin Yang, Sister Xinxue, here's some sugar-fried chestnuts for you."

Zilan and Ling Xiaoyu bought a few bags of chestnuts with excitement and walked over to them.

Qin Yang shook his head. Since earlier, he had eaten candied haws, rice cakes, etc., and really didn't have much appetite for more snacks. He gestured that his hands were full of bags, making it impossible to eat.

"Brother Qin Yang, these chestnuts are really delicious."

Zilan said with a smile, then stuffed a peeled chestnut into Qin Yang's mouth.

Just as Qin Yang was about to eat the chestnut, he furrowed his brow and looked up ahead, where two figures were standing about four or five meters away, staring at them.

"Yo, not bad, kid, out shopping and having so many girls serving you."

The redhead's eyes held a trace of mockery and jealousy.

Qin Yang's brow furrowed. The redhead and the big guy next to him looked unfriendly and were clearly here to make trouble. It seems, where there's beauty, there's trouble.

"Come on, little miss, feed me one too."

The redhead's gaze shifted to Zilan, opened his mouth wide, and walked over sleazily, looking as if he wouldn't stop unless she complied.

"You want a chestnut, huh? All right, let's fulfill your wish."

Qin Yang smiled lightly.

Whoosh!

Qin Yang spat out the chestnut he was about to swallow. The chestnut flew fast, directly landing in the redhead's mouth.

"Gulp!"

The redhead's expression changed, wanting to close his mouth, but it was too late. The large chestnut was already stuck in his throat, his face turning red, and it took considerable effort before he swallowed it down.

"Giggling… Brother Qin Yang, you're really amazing."

Zilan remarked with a laugh.

"Cough, cough… Damn, you bastard, you actually made me eat a chestnut covered in your saliva."

The redhead coughed violently a few times, then glared angrily at Qin Yang.

"Hehe, let me give you one too."

Zilan's mouth curled with a mischievous smile. She grabbed an unpeeled chestnut from the paper bag and flicked her delicate finger.

Whoosh!

The chestnut once again shot into the redhead's mouth at high speed.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

This time, no matter how much the redhead coughed, he couldn't get the chestnut with the shell out. Iron Head pounded him hard on the back, finally causing him to cough it out.

"Damn it, you two dare mock me? Just now, someone asked me to give you ten slaps, but I think ten slaps aren't enough. A hundred slaps will do."

Humiliated twice in a row, the redhead immediately erupted in rage, glowering at Qin Yang.

"Someone sent you guys?"

Qin Yang raised his eyebrow.

His enemies weren't few. The Dark Palace and the Yang Family were both forces with deep grudges against him. However, looking at the redhead and the gorilla-like big guy beside him, they seemed like mere thugs from the Mortal Realm. Sending them to trouble him, did he have enemies that silly?

"Enough talk, Iron Head, do it. Give this kid a hundred slaps. Slap him until his face is a pig's head, then break both of his legs for me."

The redhead ordered Iron Head with a deep voice.

"Watch and see."

Iron Head rubbed his bald head, a fierce expression on his face, and walked toward Qin Yang.

"You want to hit Brother Qin Yang? Hehe, I think it's better if I treat you to some sugar-fried chestnuts."

Zilan giggled, pulled another chestnut from the paper bag, and flicked her finger.
