[Brother Qie has been having a mental breakdown lately, causing widespread review delays. Please forgive him.]
"Bang!"
Qin Jiudao, the Heavenblade Dragon King, kicked the lewd man in front of him to the ground and lifted him up.
"A Class B wanted criminal, a womanizer."
"According to the government's reward notice, it's enough to exchange for 50 taels of silver."
"With these 50 taels, I should be able to surpass that courtesan named Aeria, right?"
Qin Jiudao narrowed his eyes and curled his lip in disdain.
His proud and arrogant self-esteem wouldn't allow him to be defeated by such a low-class person.
He then planned to take someone to report back.
However, just the instant Qin Jiudao stepped out of the alley!
"Boom! Boom-!"
The ground suddenly began to tremble.
What happened?
Qin Jiudao frowned, steadied his stance, and looked puzzled.
"The Soul Return Town is a space created by that treasure, how could an earthquake possibly occur there?!"
But the next second, what appeared before his eyes...
All I could see was the corner at the end of the street.
Amidst billowing dust, hundreds of shirtless burly men crowded the entire street, rushing towards this location!
As they ran, they chanted Swing Analects in unison.
Confucius said, "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening!"
"I already found out where you are this morning, you're going to die tonight!"
The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or supernatural beings!
"I don't want to waste my breath on you!"
"Stop right now! Let me use my superhuman strength to knock you senseless!"
"Bring all the evil to justice! Let's boost the president's performance!!!"
This group of muscular Confucian scholars swept through the land like locusts, grabbing anyone they saw and beating any thief they encountered.
Hey! What are you doing?!
And right at this moment.
A townsman who had just been released from prison after serving his sentence.
He was pinned to the ground by two Confucian scholars, each over two meters tall!
He screamed in terror.
"I just got out of prison! I've already reformed! Why are you still arresting me!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
The two muscular scholars snorted coldly, grabbed him from either side, and carried him away.
"Once a criminal, always a criminal!"
"Your Excellency is here to preach the Dharma, so go in and receive another nine years of compulsory education!"
Besides these unlucky guys just released from prison, behind this group of scholars were hundreds of bruised and battered thieves chained up...
Robbers and murderers...
There were even several flower thieves among them!
Qin Jiudao was completely dumbfounded.
His hand, which had been tightly gripping the lecher's collar, unconsciously loosened.
"Where... where did this Madman come from? How can he be so ferocious?!"
Qin Jiudao muttered blankly.
"Thump."
The flower thief, who had been released, fell to the ground, and was overjoyed.
"Hehe! There's always a way out, we're saved!"
The flower thief scrambled to his feet and turned to try and disappear into the alleyway in the opposite direction.
But, as soon as he turned his head...
With a loud "bang!", it slammed directly into a reflective chest muscle.
A muscular scholar lowered his head, looking at the trembling flower thief at his feet.
"Brothers! Look! There's a wild flower thief here! Worth 50 taels!"
The scholar shouted excitedly, "Everyone, hurry up! Don't let him get away!"
"Awooooo!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than dozens of muscular Confucian scholars with bloodshot eyes swarmed forward!
The flower thief was tied up like a mummy, then carried away!
Qin Jiudao then seemed to wake from a dream, belatedly realizing that his performance had been stolen!
"Halt! Release my prey!"
Qin Jiudao's eyes twitched with rage. The mighty Heavenblade Dragon King had his monster stolen by a bunch of mortals!
He immediately drew his sword and chased after the pursuer in a fit of rage.
And this scene is unfolding right now in every street and alley of the Third Ring Town!
Jade Moon Pavilion.
"Call..."
Having just finished a round of work, Aeria put on a thin veil and walked to the window.
She looked down at the muscular Confucian scholar who had gone mad on the street below.
She couldn't help but cover her red lips and let out a soft giggle.
"Hehehe... It seems this top-ranked player is even more domineering than I imagined."
"He's even more arrogant than arrogance itself, how amusing!"
"It's just a pity..."
"My next target is not you, but..."
As she spoke, Aeria looked toward the Second Ring Town.
"My kind."
"Envy..."
"Anger..."
"Lazy..."
"Greedy..."
"Bingeing..."
Which one would you be?
At the same time.
Second Ring Town.
This area is where the middle class and wealthy nobles of Soul Return Town reside, and the environment is luxurious.
Even the Public Restroom are paved with gleaming marble.
However, in the innermost compartment...
A handsome young man with somewhat feminine features, Lu Mingfei, was humbly lying on the floor tiles.
He covered his mouth with both hands, trying not to make a sound.
He stared intently outside through the gap at the bottom of the cubicle door.
At the end of that line of sight, in front of the washbasin.
He had secretly loved his goddess-like senior sister, Shen Youchu, for ten years.
At that moment, she was standing on tiptoe, passionately kissing a man dressed in coarse linen clothes.
The man's name was Xiao Fan, and he was the lowest-ranking stable servant in the Shen Family of the Second Ring Town.
Shen Youchu, on the other hand, is the high-ranking eldest daughter of the Shen Family.
Watching his beloved goddess writhe and submit in another man's arms.
Lu Mingfei, tears mingling with despair.
But he suppressed the bleeding pain in his heart and hypnotized himself in his mind.
"Senior sister... how could you do this..."
"If you kiss for too long, you'll get tired of standing on tiptoe, won't you?"
"But it's okay, as long as you're happy."
It's okay if you're tired.
"I'll be right here... to help you stand on your tiptoes."
As he spoke, Lu Mingfei silently stretched his hands out through the crack in the door.
He placed his hand under Shen Youchu's high heels, supporting the goddess's feet.
But in the very next second!
"Bang!"
The public restroom door was violently kicked open!
"The Confucian Dao Association is handling a case! Open the door!!!"
Several Confucian scholars and constables, dressed in ornate Daoist robes and belonging to the aristocratic families of the Confucian Dao Association, barged in.
After receiving orders from headquarters to conduct a sweep, they immediately launched a search operation in the Second Ring Town.
Because their profession was also [police officer].
Following the clues, we found this Public Restroom!
"Ah!!!"
Shen Youchu and Xiao Fan, who were deeply immersed in their passionate kiss, were startled apart by the noise!
"What are you doing! Who let you in!"
Shen Youchu screamed in terror and anger.
The leading Confucian scholar constable, his face radiating righteous indignation, sternly rebuked him.
"How dare they engage in pornography in broad daylight, in a public Public Restroom!"
"This is absolutely indecent! Morally reprehensible!"
"Come with us immediately! You will be detained for a day for 're-education'!"
"What?! Imprisoned?!"
Shen Youchu's eyes widened.
If word gets back to the Shen Family that she's mingling with a lowly servant here, her father will definitely break her legs!
Panic and anger made Shen Youchu jump up and down on the spot.
"Snap!"
"Awooo!!!"
Accompanied by a Tom Cat meow!
In a fit of anger, Shen Youchu's high heels landed on the back of the hands that were silently supporting her below the door crack.
It stomped out two bloody holes!
The scream instantly drew everyone's attention.
"Who's hiding in there? Come out!"
The scholar-official immediately drew his sword.
The cubicle door was pushed open, trembling.
Lu Mingfei, his hands dripping with blood, stepped forward helplessly.
What a coincidence, everyone!
When Shen Youchu, she was first startled, then her eyes lit up!
It's Lu Mingfei!
The number one simp in the entire Second Ring Town!
A plan instantly formed in Shen Youchu's mind.
She put on a pitiful expression, and when no one was looking, she leaned close to Lu Mingfei and whispered quickly.
"Mingfei! Help me! Please take the blame for me!"
"Otherwise, if my family finds out that Xiao Fan and I are here, my dad will definitely beat me to death!"
Then, they completely disregarded whether Lu Mingfei had agreed or not.
Suddenly, Shen Youchu became a drama queen and threw herself into Xiao Fan's arms.
She pointed at Lu Mingfei.
"Officers! You've misunderstood! We didn't do anything lewd!"
"It's that pervert! It's him!"
He followed me into the bathroom, intending to do something indecent to me!
"Thanks to Xiao Fan for arriving in time to save me, otherwise I..."
"I'm so ashamed to live like this, waaaaah!"
Hearing this absurd attempt to shift the blame, Xiao Fan broke out in a cold sweat and asked in a low voice.
"Youchu... is this really going to work? Who would believe such an outrageous lie?"
Shen Youchu gave him a look.
"Don't worry at all! This Lu Mingfei is just a pure-blooded scoundrel!"
"Don't even mention making him take the blame; even if I made him eat shit right now, he'd swallow it without hesitation!"
After listening to Shen Youchu's accusations, the Confucian scholars and constables looked at Lu Mingfei with suspicion.
"Is what she said true? Did you try to rape her?"
Lu Mingfei looked at the goddess who was hiding in another man's arms, yet used lies to push herself into the Abyss.
The corners of his mouth turned up.
"That's right."
Lu Mingfei smiled calmly and obediently.
"I did it."
"Senior sister is right, I am a perverted stalker."
"Take me away."
"Ah?"
The Confucian scholars and constables were stunned and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Isn't that an overly quick admission?
They all had eyes; no matter how they looked at him, this guy didn't seem like a rapist.
He seemed more like an unlucky soul who had suffered an undeserved misfortune.
"Are you sure? Attempted rape is a serious crime. If proven guilty, it will at least result in imprisonment and the death penalty!"
The lead constable questioned him again, trying to give him a chance to recant his testimony.
"I'm sure it was me."
Lu Mingfei still wore that same smile.
The Confucian scholars and constables were puzzled: how could there be such a sycophantic person in this world?
Just as they were hesitating, and not even intending to give up asking questions...
Shen Youchu panicked and shouted.
"What are you all standing there for! He admitted it himself!"
"He's a rapist! Take him away! Are you going to protect a criminal?!"
"This..."
The group of Confucian scholars and constables were undecided for a moment, and finally, the leader of the constables sighed.
"There's nothing we can do; since he confessed and his testimony is consistent."
"Take it with you!"
Snap! The iron chains were handcuffed to Lu Mingfei's wrists.
Watching Lu Mingfei being escorted away, Shen Youchu and Xiao Fan hid behind and laughed unrestrainedly.
"Hahaha! What an idiot! His luck is unbelievable!"
Xiao Fan said sarcastically.
"Hmph, a toad trying to eat swan meat, doesn't it know what kind of lowly thing it is?"
"Let him take the blame; it's a blessing from his ancestors!"
Shen Youchu's eyes were filled with disdain.
Hearing the vicious laughter behind him, the scholar-official's forehead veins bulged with anger, and he clenched his fists.
"Damn it! Those two scoundrels are going too far! I really want to go back and beat them up!"
"Calm down!"
A companion beside him held him tightly and shook his head.
"Our mission is simply to apprehend criminals who confess."
"This is the Second Ring Town. The Shen Family is not to be trifled with. Don't meddle in other people's business."
Just then, Lu Mingfei, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
"It's okay."
Lu Mingfei smiled and turned his head, "It is my honor to be able to bear this pain for my senior sister."
The Confucian scholars and constables frowned, staring at this unusual fellow.
"Does that wicked woman have something on you?"
"If that's the case, don't be afraid. Just speak up. We members of the Confucian Dao Association are very reasonable, and we can help you make the decision..."
Lu Mingfei shook his head with a smile, "No."
Nobody forced me.
"This is all my fault..."
"I did it willingly, because I wanted to."
The scholars and constables were utterly speechless, exchanging bewildered glances.
Finally, they all sighed dejectedly and made their final judgment in their hearts.
This guy is a hopeless masochistic pervert!
It's hopeless!
However.
These Confucian scholars, who only saw the surface, completely failed to notice...
At this moment, Lu Mingfei, revealed a dark depth in his eyes, obscured by stray hairs on his forehead.
Where is there even a trace of the excitement and honor that a simp would feel?
There was only anger there.
A feeling of extreme repression...
Anger!
And in a field of vision that ordinary people like them could not even see clearly...
The mocking laughter from Shen Youchu and Xiao Fan was now transforming into wisps of crimson energy.
It kept flowing into his body!
Deep within his soul.
A flame called [Anger] is burning fiercely!
