Minghai City gradually disappeared from Ye Xiao's view amidst rising winds and surging clouds.

After Xiong Daoliang's death, Ye Xiao stayed in Minghai City for twenty days. Those twenty days could be said to have been his busiest, during which he lost count of how many Heart Cleansing Pills and Source Life Liquids he had made, along with a few Xuan Rank medicines.

Aside from Ye Xiao, everyone else stayed in Minghai City. Oh, not everyone—Shen Qiuyu went to Qiu Mountain. Initially, Ye Xiao had wanted Shen Qiuyu to go with him to Bird City, but in the end, Shen Qiuyu went to Qiu Mountain. It was clear she didn't want to be a burden to Ye Xiao. She told Ye Xiao that when she returned, she would definitely be stronger than him. Since Shen Qiuyu had made up her mind, Ye Xiao couldn't stop her. Meanwhile, Zhou Hao led Blood Blade to lay low in Minghai City and made a military decree to Ye Xiao—first, he wouldn't let any harm come to Ye Xiao's friends in Minghai City; second, he would officially train Blood Blade into a super Martial Artist organization.

The train to Bird City sped along the tracks as Ye Xiao watched the now-vanished Minghai City and sighed. He clearly remembered how a few girls had cried at the station.

"Alas!" Ye Xiao sighed softly, didn't continue looking, and leaned against the window, closing his eyes to sleep.

Bird City was two to three hundred kilometers away from Minghai City; it wasn't something one could reach in an hour or two. So, he decided to sleep now, and when the train broadcast announced it, he could get off.

He didn't know if it was because the gentle swaying of the train was truly comfortable or what, but Ye Xiao really fell asleep. However, when he woke up again, it wasn't to the sound of the train arriving at the station.

"You stupid girl, are you looking for trouble?" three or four burly middle-aged men pointed at a young girl about twenty years old carrying a pale red bag and shouted loudly.

If she had been any ordinary girl, she would have been scared stiff by such a scene.

"You're wrong to deceive people, and moreover, your tricks are so low-level. Who couldn't see through them? Do you think everyone is a fool?" Jiang Miaoke, full of righteousness, spoke as if her very existence was to uphold justice.

"Brother Dao, why waste words with her? Drag her to the bathroom and talk there!" These men were regular scammers on this train route. Although their tricks were very low-level, nobody wanted to make trouble while traveling. Thus, although many people saw through their tricks, nobody spoke out. Consequently, there were always a few who fell into their trap.

But today, they had encountered such a clueless girl who openly exposed them, clearly crossing their line.

"You dare!" Jiang Miaoke immediately glared at the scrawny man and angrily said, "In broad daylight, under the open sky, you were exposed for deception and still think about harming others? You better think about what you should do, as I believe the police on the train will be here soon."

"Ha ha, police? Ha ha, I think you are really naive, young girl. Today we will teach you a lesson. Oh, look over there, isn't that a train attendant?" One man chuckled and then pointed to the next carriage.

Jiang Miaoke immediately looked up and indeed, there was a train attendant. However, when the attendant saw what was happening here, instead of coming over, he turned his head as if he hadn't seen a thing.

The action of the train attendant startled Jiang Miaoke; she had thought that she had found support, but unexpectedly, that support turned out to be...

"Let's go!" Before Jiang Miaoke could react, she heard the man's words. Not only that, she felt a small knife pressing against her neck.

Jiang Miaoke, previously full of confidence, was truly petrified at this moment.

People always talked about a harmonious society, but on her very first trip away from home, how had she encountered such disharmony? Was she just unlucky?

But now, Jiang Miaoke knew that she definitely couldn't resist; the knife was on her neck. Although the scrawny man's eyes nearly burrowed into her bra, she was powerless. What was most important? Obviously, it was her life!

So, before the eyes of all, Jiang Miaoke was taken away by this group of disorderly ruffians. Although many righteous people felt outraged, their outrage was just that—outrage; the scammers still wielded knives.

Yan Country people loved watching a scene unfold, but when trouble really struck, everyone managed to detach themselves neatly as if none of it had anything to do with them—even denying witnessing such events. After all, minding one's own business was better than stirring trouble, especially when away from home where it wasn't necessary to antagonize those who broke the law.

Jiang Miaoke truly felt desperate. She had thought that when she boldly exposed the fraudsters, everyone around would be outraged. Then, with everyone's cooperation, they would bring these swindlers to justice. However, things did not go as she had hoped.

The situation didn't unfold as Jiang Miaoke had envisioned; instead, she became the target of everyone's malevolence.

Jiang Miaoke was dragged to the washroom located between two train carriages. At this moment, it wasn't just the skinny guy harboring indecent thoughts—everyone had sinister intentions towards Jiang Miaoke. After all, Miaoke was not only beautiful but also had an incredibly attractive figure. Even if those could be overlooked, her notably prominent curves were simply impossible to ignore.

"Damn, it's too cramped in the toilet. Skinny and Fatty, you guys keep watch on each side," the man called Brother Dao, who was holding a knife to Jiang Miaoke's neck, shouted to the two men.

"What do you think you're doing? I'll have you know, my background is not ordinary. You better think this through; otherwise, you're risking your lives!" Jiang Miaoke felt somewhat shaky, yet, to stay safe, she could only brace herself and continue to confront the thugs, even attempting to intimidate them by revealing her identity.

Although Jiang Miaoke had never traveled far before, this was her first time, and she could fully imagine the predicament she was in—Miaoke was definitely not foolish!

"Haha, are the doors on both sides shut tight?" Brother Dao looked at Skinny and Fatty, and shouted loudly.

"They're shut, guaranteed no one will come by, even if we raise hell. Hurry up, Brother Dao," Skinny was truly as anxious as a monkey, since men are undeniably impulsive around beautiful women.

"Shit, look at you rushing!" Brother Dao spat on the ground, then, smiling slyly at Jiang Miaoke said, "Your dad isn't some president, right? But honestly, even if he was a president, no one knows you're here. If your dad really were a president, seducing the president's daughter before getting shot immediately, that would still be worth it."

Laughing heartily, Brother Dao clearly was fearless. Where were they? This was their territory. They had dishonored women on this train before, so they were not nervous at all. They quite enjoyed seeing a girl stressed out, as her nervousness could more enticingly provoke their primal desires.

Brother Dao then reached out and hooked Jiang Miaoke's pale chin. Immediately, she instinctively stepped back, her face flushed with anger, and exclaimed, "You... you're committing a crime! I am from the Jiang Family of Bird City, if you dare do anything to me, I will have you torn to pieces."

"The Jiang Family?" Brother Dao muttered, then with a smirk continued, "You mean that wealthy Jiang Family from Bird City? Haha, you think I'm stupid? People from the Jiang Family would definitely travel with a lot of bodyguards. You alone claim to be from the Jiang Family—why not say you're the daughter of the president of the Northern Federation, huh? Hehe, just cooperate and I promise not to take your life. Plus, if we really enjoy ourselves, we might even give you a small reward, how about twenty bucks per session?"

Hearing Brother Dao's disgusting words, Jiang Miaoke erupted in anger, retorting, "You... you shameless bastard!"

"Haha, I am shameless, and if you dare to struggle, just remember my knife is very sharp, and it could easily take your life at any moment. So, it's wiser to cooperate."

What he just said was right; even if they shot her right after, it would be worth it.

After all, many people would never get to have such an opportunity in a lifetime.

Skinny and Fatty were also eagerly watching their leader at this moment, hoping he would finish quickly so they could have their turn.

They all took it for granted that today, this beauty was surely theirs.

Of course, if nothing unexpected happened, they surely would have their way.

As fate would have it, just at this moment, the previously secured door linking the train carriages was knocked on.
