Yang Hangtian looked at Liu Erkui's terrified expression and immediately burst into boisterous laughter, clearly very satisfied with Liu Erkui's performance.

Liu Erkui's behavior, on the other hand, left Zheng Lingshan utterly disappointed, and at the same time, she began to feel somewhat desperate. Although she'd successfully diverted the hatred that was originally directed at Little Mi onto herself, what should she do now?

Little Mi and Chenchen were too scared to step forward at this moment.

Yang Hangtian noticed Zheng Lingshan's fearful and pale expression, her body trembling, which excited him even more. His gaze upon Zheng Lingshan now filled with even more feeling, he couldn't help but reach out to touch her.

Zheng Lingshan wanted to back away, but at that moment, those men once again blocked her path.

No way up to heaven, no way down to earth, Zheng Lingshan truly felt trapped at that moment.

Perhaps feeling that he was now quite intimidating, Yang Hangtian's hand brazenly reached for the undulating hills of Zheng Lingshan's chest.

Just as Zheng Lingshan thought she was about to be dishonored, suddenly someone patted Yang Hangtian on the shoulder!

Yang Hangtian was very puzzled—who would dare to pat his shoulder at this time? Turning his head, he saw a young man in his early twenties, younger than himself.

"What do you want?" Yang Hangtian scrutinized Ye Xiao up and down.

At that moment, almost everyone turned their gaze towards Ye Xiao, including the shocked Zheng Lingshan.

Zheng Lingshan was clearly surprised. How could this young man, who came to see the car without buying and knew from the get-go that these three men had ill intentions, have the courage to come over at this time? Could he be in league with these men? Thinking this, Zheng Lingshan felt even more like crying without tears.

Ye Xiao grinned, showing a row of neat white teeth, and said with a smile to Yang Hangtian, "You're Yang Hangtian, aren't you?"

"How do you know?" Yang Hangtian asked curiously, astonished that this stranger knew his name.

Ye Xiao replied with a smile, "Oh, didn't you just say it yourself?"

"Kid, don't mess around here if it's nothing. If you're trying to play the hero..." Yang Hangtian began.

Before Yang Hangtian could finish, Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "I know, those who try to play the hero these days are generally courting death."

Hearing this, Yang Hangtian thought to himself that the kid seemed to know the score.

"So what do you want?" Yang Hangtian eyed Ye Xiao with curiosity.

Ye Xiao said, "Here's the thing, this girl, currently in tears, she's my girlfriend, of course."

"What?" Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Yang Hangtian frowned. Not only him, but everyone else was greatly surprised, especially Zheng Lingshan, who was in the middle of crying and forgot how to continue, staring blankly at Ye Xiao.

Yang Hangtian and his two companions immediately glared at Ye Xiao, seemingly ready to square off against him!

At that moment, Ye Xiao spoke again.

"Of course, if you big brothers have taken a fancy to her, then surely it's an honor for her!" Ye Xiao immediately chuckled and said to Yang Hangtian.

Yang Hangtian and the rest of the people present found Ye Xiao's words even more bizarre. They had no idea why he'd said that strange thing before, and why he was now saying this other strange thing.

Yang Hangtian raised an eyebrow and asked Ye Xiao, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, this girl should belong to you guys now. However, big brothers, there's an investment in everything these days. I've spent over a hundred thousand on her from top to bottom while she was my girlfriend. Let's give you a twenty percent discount. If you, big brothers, just give me eighty thousand yuan, I'll wash my hands of this and let her go. How about that? It's a good deal, and for big brothers like yourself, this amount of money is like Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts—a piece of cake," Ye Xiao appealed with an earnest face.

Yang Hangtian looked at his two companions upon hearing Ye Xiao's proposal.

Little Mi, Chenchen, and Liu Erkui were utterly flabbergasted. What kind of day was it today that there was highway robbery happening? Exchanging Zheng Lingshan for money? But could this man really be Zheng Lingshan's boyfriend? Hadn't she said she didn't have one?

However, they considered Zheng Lingshan to be poor, and Ye Xiao also looked like a pauper to them, of course—this was what Little Mi and Chenchen thought.

Zheng Lingshan, already despising Ye Xiao, found her disdain for him growing even more at his words. As far as she was concerned, Ye Xiao was extremely annoying, especially since he was trying to use her to get money, when she had absolutely no relation to him.

Originally, Zheng Lingshan wanted to expose him, but seeing Yang Hangtian and his group appearing ready to beat up Ye Xiao, she immediately wished for Ye Xiao to be beaten up quickly, thinking it would serve him right.

"I'm telling you, kid, you're really asking for trouble, trying to extort money from us brothers," Yang Hangtian said as he moved closer to Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao immediately chuckled, stepped back two paces, and said, "Dear brothers, you wouldn't want to hit me, would you? Let me tell you, I am a law-abiding citizen. I've given you such a beautiful girl, shouldn't you give me some compensation? You can't be so overbearing."

As Ye Xiao backed away, Yang Hangtian and the others became even more excited. As for women, if they beat them up, they would certainly be accused of hitting women, but what about if they beat up a man? Who would say anything then?

"Kid, if we don't beat you up badly today, you won't understand how many eyes Lord Ma has," Yang Hangtian sneered and soon forced Ye Xiao back against a tempered glass window, with Ye Xiao ending up directly against the glass.

Seeing that Ye Xiao had no room to retreat, a more sinister smile spread across Yang Hangtian's face. Now, pretending that this kid was really that beautiful girl's boyfriend, a show of strength from himself might just make her fall into his arms!

This was Yang Hangtian's thinking, and indeed, this is what he did.

Yang Hangtian's fist suddenly lunged straight at Ye Xiao—his punch was both swift and urgent, and to the onlookers, it seemed as quick as lightning, predicting an ill fate for Ye Xiao.

At the same time, nearly everyone despised Ye Xiao for being a heartless man who used his own girlfriend to get money. Could a person even do such a thing?

However, just when everyone thought Ye Xiao was about to take that punch square on, something slightly off happened. As the punch was about to hit Ye Xiao's head, his head seemed to move just a bit, and suddenly, Yang Hangtian's fist violently struck the area of tempered glass where Ye Xiao's head had been moments before!

Silence!

Complete stillness befell the room as all eyes turned to Ye Xiao, eager to see his head smashed. They heard the sound of a hit against the tempered glass, but a second later, they saw Yang Hangtian frowning and vigorously shaking the hand he had just punched with.

"Kill him!" Yang Hangtian stepped back two paces, feeling like his wrist was about to break from the punch landing on the tempered glass.

Seeing that Ye Xiao's evasion caused Yang Hangtian to get hurt, his companions were enraged and rushed at Ye Xiao!

But then, something strange happened.

Two of Yang Hangtian's companions attacked Ye Xiao from the left and right, attempting to hit him with both fists and feet, but after striking out, they felt like they were hitting each other instead. They fought for a while, and upon looking up, realized that the person they had exerted all their strength on was one of their own, while the intended target stood aside, grinning as they fought each other.

"What is this..." The two were incredibly shocked, and even more so by the sight of each other looking like someone who had been beaten to a pulp.

"It's you!" Yang Hangtian was furious, not caring about the pain in his wrist, and charged forward, kicking towards Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao stood his ground, smiling as he watched Yang Hangtian's kick coming at him. When the kick almost reached his face, Ye Xiao moved slightly, brushing past Yang Hangtian, who couldn't stop his momentum and continued forward.

The floor of the shop was slick, made worse by Ye Xiao secretly using the Nine Yang True Qi to cause mischief.

Yang Hangtian slid uncontrolled for two to three meters and then performed a perfect sprawling fall!

With a loud crash, Yang Hangtian hit the floor hard, writhing in pain and unable to get up immediately.

Yang Hangtian's companions, seeing him suffer yet another setback, ignored their pain and went straight for Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao dodged left and right, back and forth, never laying a hand on the two attackers.

In Ye Xiao's view, there was no need to hit them. How could ordinary people be worth his effort? Especially since actually hitting them could easily result in fatalities.

However, evading continuously like this was getting nowhere, so during the breaks in the evasion, Ye Xiao observed the two men's attack patterns.

Soon, Ye Xiao noticed something quite amusing—there was a high chance of the men's fists colliding due to their coordination, but they had been cautious, so it hadn't happened yet. However, what if an external force intervened?

Ye Xiao grinned, continued dodging back and forth, but secretly unleashed the Nine Yang True Qi. When both men threw their punches at the same time, Ye Xiao's Nine Yang True Qi subtly began its trickery.

As the two fists came out, one veered slightly mid-punch, resulting in a hard hit on the other's arm. As one might expect, a scream ensued!
