The two filthy bald men leered at her with lustful grins, constantly rubbing their hands together, drool even spilling from their mouths. They were as disgusting as could be.
"Hehe, little sister, don't get the wrong idea. We brothers just want to take you out for a drink, have a little talk about life, then send you home. What do you say?"
"Yeah, yeah, don't get the wrong idea. We're both very good people. We definitely won't do anything we shouldn't."
But how could the girl believe their nonsense? She kept backing away while continuously crying for help.
From behind a nearby tree, Ye Lan cursed them as scum.
At that moment, one of the bald men could no longer hold himself back and lunged directly at the girl.
Startled by the sudden scene, the girl panicked and retreated. But after taking one step back, she crashed into the tree trunk behind her. There was nowhere left for her to retreat.
As the bald man drew closer and closer, the girl's cries for help became even more frantic, now mixed with heavy sobs.
Ye Lan could no longer endure it.
"Ahem..."
A clear cough suddenly rang out by the riverbank.
The two bald men were shocked and hurriedly turned around.
When they saw that the newcomer was just an immature little brat, they immediately relaxed and smirked mockingly.
"Where did this little brat come from? Instead of going home to help your mother cook, you came here to play the hero and save the beauty?!"
"Hahaha, have you even finished growing yet?"
The two bald men laughed wildly, clearly not taking Ye Lan seriously at all.
When the girl saw that the newcomer was a minor about her own age, the spark of hope that had just ignited in her heart was immediately extinguished. Her face turned ashen. It seemed that today, she would be unable to escape their clutches.
But Ye Lan, who possessed the system, did not take them seriously at all. He snorted coldly. "I'll give you two minutes to leave this place immediately. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving."
Hearing this, the two bald men laughed even more wantonly.
One of them said, "Hahaha, Big Brother, did you hear what he said? He said he's giving us two minutes to leave. Hahaha..."
The other man, whom he had called Big Brother, shouted angrily, "Second Brother, why waste words on him? Cripple him right away! He dares oppose us brothers? I think he has a death wish!"
The first bald man nodded, then swiftly pulled a gleaming kunai from his pocket and made a throat-slitting gesture at Ye Lan.
Ye Lan was stunned when he saw this. This time, I really overdid the bluffing. I thought these two were just ordinary thugs, but they're actually carrying kunai!
Anyone able to carry a kunai was at least a Genin.
And judging by the way they looked, if they really fought, they might actually be able to cripple him.
Seeing Ye Lan hesitate, the bald man holding the kunai let out a strange laugh, then charged at Ye Lan while brandishing it.
And that bald man was a real ninja.
Although Ye Lan felt somewhat nervous, how could he possibly be an ordinary person?
Ye Lan grew calmer and calmer as he stared fixedly at the bald man. Gradually, he felt that the man's movements were becoming slower and slower.
Ye Lan could clearly see every single movement the bald man made.
