Jiang Nan had just sold a bottle of Farmer's Three Fists, and he was already getting a taste for the profits!

How could he possibly let such a golden opportunity slip by?

Not only could he make money, he could rake in a huge pile of Resentment Points, too!

He was on his way to striking it rich and living the good life.

He immediately pulled a stack of red bricks out of Other Dimension Space!

"Come on, come on! Farmer's Three Fists, our family's secret recipe!"

"One sip, and you can smash bricks with your head!"

"Two sips, and you can kick durians!"

"Three sips, and you'll be flying to the heavens!"

"Happy as a god!"

"No exaggeration, no lies! Watch me smash a brick right here!"

As he spoke, he picked up a red brick and brought it down on his own forehead!

With a bang, it shattered.

Everyone stared in stunned disbelief. Before long, quite a crowd had gathered around him.

"Holy crap! He really hit himself with it!"

"Do you need some kind of special skill to run a street stall these days?"

"This boss is insane!"

"He's risking his life just to make money!"

Then someone said, "Boss, that brick's fake, isn't it?"

Jiang Nan immediately flew into a rage. He stood up, brick in hand. "Fake? Come on, I'll try one on you!"

[Song Xin's Resentment Points +666!]

Boss...

Even if it were fake, I wouldn't dare open my mouth...

"Haha, that boss has guts! That's a real brick! A red-skinned, black-hearted kiln brick! Tough as nails!"

"This big brother knows his stuff!"

Quite a few people started filming, and the crowd grew larger and larger.

But after Jiang Nan smashed more than twenty bricks,

his voice was hoarse from shouting!

And still, not one of those spectators would pay for anything!

Jiang Nan's heart ached. Red bricks cost money, too!

These days, even watching a street performer do a double act cost you an admission fee!

If you wouldn't buy Farmer's Three Fists, couldn't you at least buy a hair tie or some underwear?

Were they all just freeloaders?

Just then, gasps of amazement rose from the crowd. Most of the people left, drawn toward another spot.

Jiang Nan was still here, head down, smashing bricks!

The crowd grew restless.

"What a gorgeous beauty! I've never seen anyone this beautiful in my life!"

"She's even prettier than those celebrities, isn't she?"

"I'm in love!"

"Is this what love at first sight feels like?"

Zhong Yingxue wore a white dress and a sunhat, her long black hair falling all the way to her waist.

She was tall, around 180 centimeters, with slender calves as white as jade.

Her features were unbelievably beautiful, as if she'd stepped right out of a painting.

The beautiful woman beside her, with long legs and short shorts, was named Xia Yao.

She had a wild, untamed air about her.

Her eyes were blue, and her silver-white short hair fell to her shoulders. She wore short shorts that showed off her pale legs, along with a black tank top and a denim jacket!

Her delicate navel was visible, and she was half a head taller than Zhong Yingxue.

Everywhere the two women went, all eyes followed them.

"How about it, Xiao Xue? Did you find him?"

Zhong Yingxue shook her head, her beautiful eyes like a starry sea scanning the area.

Xia Yao's eyes lit up. "There's a crowd over there. Let's go take a look!"

Without waiting for Zhong Yingxue to protest, she pulled her toward Jiang Nan's stall...

And there they saw a bald man smashing bricks...

Zhong Yingxue froze in place!

She covered her mouth, tears welling in her eyes.

"Xiao Nan! Is that you?"

Jiang Nan heard the familiar voice and couldn't help but freeze.

He looked up at the girl in the dress before him.

"Sis... Sister Xue?"

A tremendous wave of joy suddenly filled his heart!

Before he could say another word, Zhong Yingxue couldn't hold back any longer.

She rushed forward and threw her arms around Jiang Nan.

In an instant, he was surrounded by her fragrance!

He was enveloped in a warm, soft embrace!

The crowd erupted!

"Good heavens! What the hell is going on?"

"That bald boss is really something, huh?"

"Those two gorgeous women came looking for him? What kind of background does he have?"

"I saw them arrive in a Mercedes-Benz G-Class!"

"I'm so jealous..."

Xia Yao pouted off to the side!

She was happy that Zhong Yingxue had found her little brother.

At the same time, she felt as if her beloved treasure had been stolen.

Hmph! She hadn't even hugged Xiao Xue yet!

"Ugh... Sister Xue! I... I can't breathe!"

Jiang Nan struggled. His face was pressed against her chest, and he was having a hard time breathing!

Heh-heh! (?ˉwˉ?)

Only then did Zhong Yingxue realize something was wrong. She quickly let go, her pretty face turning red.

She brushed the brick dust off Jiang Nan's head.

"Why'd you shave your head? And why are you out here selling things and smashing bricks...?"

Jiang Nan scratched his head and smiled. "It's hot in summer, so I figured I'd just shave it all off. No need to keep getting haircuts. Saves money!"

"As for smashing bricks... I thought it might help business!"

Zhong Yingxue's eyes reddened again.

"These past few years, since you left the orphanage, things must've been hard, right?"

Jiang Nan didn't seem bothered. "What's the big deal? Back at the orphanage, we went through all kinds of hardship together."

"I've got all my limbs. I won't starve to death."

They were both orphans, and they'd grown up together in the River City orphanage.

They could be said to have depended on each other for everything.

When they were kids, Jiang Nan would save his pocket money for a month or two just to buy her a bag of White Rabbit Milk Candy!

Whenever someone picked on her, Jiang Nan always stood in front of her.

And when Jiang Nan got sick, she was always the one keeping watch by his bedside.

The two orphans, with no parents, had relied on each other since childhood, supporting one another through their hardest years.

They'd thought things would always stay that way.

But when Zhong Yingxue was thirteen, she awakened her Fire Element Ability ahead of schedule!

And it was the mutated White Flame! Her talent was an astonishing S-rank!

A rarity throughout the entire world!

In the end, the powerful Zhong Family adopted her and gave her special training!

No matter how much Zhong Yingxue cried and protested, she was still separated from Jiang Nan.

After that, they never saw each other again!

Jiang Nan moved out of the orphanage when he was sixteen and had supported himself ever since!

He never expected to run into Zhong Yingxue here today!

Xia Yao pouted. "Hey, hey! Could you stop treating me like I'm invisible?"

"Baldy, I'm jealous of you!"

Jiang Nan blinked. What was she jealous about?

Wait!

The way Xia Yao was looking at Zhong Yingxue was strange!

Could she have improper thoughts about his sister?

As a real man,

this was the moment to step up.

How could he let her get away with it?

"What part of me is small? How would you know?"

Xia Yao was just about to answer when she suddenly realized what he meant. Her pretty face turned red!

Then she showed off her cute little canine teeth!

She immediately put him in an Invincible Big Throat Lock!

[Xia Yao's Resentment Points +333!]

Jiang Nan's eyes rolled back as she squeezed his neck.

This girl named Xia Yao was strong!

Their bodies were pressed tightly together, and his head was pinned just below Xia Yao's chest!

Then Jiang Nan felt something heavy pressing down on his head...

B-brain... waves?

"All right, stop fooling around! Xiao Nan's still as mischievous as ever!"

"Let's grab a meal together later. We can catch up back at home!"

Xia Yao had no intention of letting Jiang Nan go.

She'd decided to teach him a lesson and show him what she could do!

"W-wait until I finish selling my stuff!"

Xia Yao kept Jiang Nan pinned to the little stool, still holding him in the chokehold, her whole weight pressing down on his back.

"Don't even think about running! I'll help you sell!"

Jiang Nan could feel the weight on his bald head getting heavier and heavier.

J-just what size was she? How could she be so heavy?

Walking around must be exhausting for her!

Was it that hard being a girl?

Sigh! There was nothing he could do.

Who could blame him for being such a kind person?

He'd just have to help her carry some of the weight!

Mm... with his bald head!
