Night Encounter with the Bu Le Trio

The street leading to the night market was sparsely populated, and after the group walked through a few corners, they could no longer see anyone else.

Qian, tell me more about what Lin Yan was like a few years ago.

Haha! I'm telling you, there was even a little girl chasing him back then. She confessed to him right in the lobby, and that scene... tsk tsk~

Ning Rongrong seemed to have an endless supply of energy, whispering to Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing one moment and asking Meng Qian about the past the next.

Across the entire silent and empty street, only her voice sounded the most cheerful.

A cool breeze swept past, and although the group did not feel that anything was amiss as they walked toward the night market in the city, an unknown danger had already quietly arrived.

In the dark, three dark figures rustled and moved.

E Kao, look at this kid, he is quite blessed. He has four little beauties with him. Can his little frame handle it?

Why don't we brothers go help him share the load?

The speaker was a man wearing a bowler hat, named Bu Le.

His pair of triangular eyes looked as lewd as could be when they caught sight of Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Qian's backs, as if just by taking that glance, he had already played out countless unsightly scenes of those two women in his mind.

Beside him, the thin, short middle-aged man called E Kao frowned.

Tsk~

He even treated us not long ago. Isn't it a bit bad to make a move on him now?

Clearly, the three people at the moment knew Lin Yan, and both sides had even dealt with each other before.

This caused E Kao to hesitate somewhat about the matter of harming Lin Yan's group.

However... he felt it was bad, but the other two did not think so.

Bad?

Bu Le's lips curled into a mocking smile as he spoke.

Look at the one wearing black leather. Have you ever seen someone so young in your life with such a huge chest?

Anyway, this daddy can't hold back anymore!

At worst, we'll wear masks, scare Lin Yan and his girlfriend away first, and then make a move on the others!

Things having reached this point, Tian Ya, who had not spoken until now, also chimed in.

I think it'll work! Just do as Bu Le says.

At worst, we just won't touch Lin Yan and his girlfriend! Anyway, his girlfriend has the smallest chest among those people, so she's no fun to play with.

The minority deferred to the majority. Even though E Kao felt that harming Lin Yan was bad, he could not win against the other two.

Thus... under Bu Le's lead, the three of them put on their portable masks, and the next second they directly flashed over to appear right in front of Lin Yan and his group, who were chatting and laughing.

Little beauties, it's too dangerous in the middle of the night. Do you want big brother to protect you?

Bu Le made a forward-grabbing gesture with both hands, his lewd appearance practically second nature.

The group halted their steps, and Lin Yan frowned.

Bu Le, E Kao, Tian Ya?

He rattled off the three names in succession, instantly baffling Bu Le at the very front.

Damn it! We're even wearing masks and you can still recognize us?

Lin Yan was speechless!

He wouldn't go so far as to say he knew every single hoodlum in this area, but most of them had sought him out for medical treatment after getting injured.

He had a particularly deep impression of these three people right in front of him. Weren't they the very Bu Le Trio from the original story? Bu Le had even come to him for injury treatment a few days ago.

What are you doing? Are you setting your sights on me, a Healing Soul Master?

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow, showing not a shred of cowardice in the face of the three of them.

Are you kidding? He was the famous Healing Soul Master of Suotuo City. Whoever dared to touch him would basically be considered to have offended the majority of the soul masters in Suotuo City.

Lin Yan did not believe these few hooligans would be bold enough to directly make a move on him.

Sure enough, seeing Lin Yan step forward to meet them, and seeing that his group not only lacked cowardice but was instead quite aggressive, E Kao simply laid his cards on the table directly.

Lin Yan, us brothers understand the rules of the streets, and we aren't ungrateful people.

You take your girlfriend and leave, the rest...

At this point, he paused slightly.

Seeing this, Bu Le stepped forward and added.

The rest will be left to us brothers. This matter has nothing to do with you.

The trio exuded a menacing aura with sharp gazes, and from the looks of it, they seemed ready to summon their martial souls to fight the very next second.

Ning Rongrong, in Lin Yan's arms, asked at the sight.

You know them?

Lin Yan nodded.

"They aren't really acquaintances, just local thugs in this area, and all three are Soul Ancestor strengths."

"Soul Ancestors?"

Seeing Ning Rongrong show a look of dread upon hearing that the opposing lineup consisted of three Soul Ancestors, Lin Yan patted the back of her hand and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, it's fine."

With those words, he turned to look at the three men opposite, took a money pouch out of his storage ring, threw it in front of them, and said.

"There are 100 gold soul coins here. Take it and get out!"

"I can pretend today's incident never happened."

When the heavy pouch of gold coins dropped to the ground, the opening burst open, revealing a glittering pile of gold.

Without a doubt, Lin Yan was not lying.

He figured that although his side had many people right now, their overt combat power was inferior to the opposition's, so there was no need to make a big fuss over a problem that could be solved with money.

Anyway, he had plenty of money, yet...

"100 gold soul coins?"

Bu Le looked at the pouch on the ground, and although his eyes lit up, he did not go to pick it up.

"Lin Yan, I said it already! This matter has nothing to do with you today, and we brothers aren't short on money. We just took a fancy to these little beauties right now."

His tone was firm, and Tian Ya seized the moment to state his position as well.

"Lin Yan, I advise you to be sensible. You're just a healing soul master, so don't force us brothers to get physical!"

E Kao chimed in at this moment too.

"That's right, we're sick of playing with those old hags in the brothels, so we just want some fresh meat today."

"Lin Yan, take your money and leave. Today we brothers are dead set on having some excitement, and no matter how much money you give us, it's useless."

The three of them spoke one after another, standing shoulder to shoulder without yielding even half a step.

Upon seeing this scene, Lin Yan suddenly laughed.

"Useless? Fine!"

"Then you guys aren't leaving! It's a good chance to test the power of these new inventions of mine on you."

Lin Yan stepped forward, his posture clearly indicating that he was about to face the enemy.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong hurriedly grabbed his arm.

"Lin Yan, what are you doing? You're only a healing soul master."

Changing the subject, the young girl looked at Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, I'll provide auxiliary—"

Hum-hum~

Before Ning Rongrong could finish her sentence, and before Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing could complete their martial soul possession, a burst of golden light suddenly lit up beside Lin Yan.

The golden light faded, revealing the original appearance of the glowing objects.

They were barrels resembling modern industrial pistols, except the bodies had more sharp angles and components. Controlled by Lin Yan's mental power, they quietly hovered in midair, and at a rough glance, there were at least a dozen of them...

These were precisely the twelve Tier 2 Floating Cannons that Lin Yan crafted after upgrading the Soul Tool Crafting Bench to Tier 2!

Golden light slowly pulsed at the rear of the floating cannons, indicating that the barrels had finished charging.

At this moment, all the girls stared in utter disbelief!

Meng Qian, who was the least knowledgeable, muttered.

"Th-this is what? A spirit skill?"
