Chapter 2

  Sister Ming, Sister Ming! Dong Si's vast snow caught her and asked repeatedly: "You and Mu Ye Gege are okay, right?"

  "What's your opinion?" Ming Xiao Xi said listlessly.

  Dong Si Hao Xue stared at her for a few moments, noticing that she was feeling very down, with a standard "lost love" look on her face. He couldn't help but pout his small mouth, and tears started falling: "Ming sister, it's all my fault... what should we do now?"

  Ming Xiao Xi glared at her with a bad temper: "What did you say?"

  "This... this..."; Dong Si Hao Xue scratched his head: "I'll accompany you shopping, whatever you like I'll buy for you, until you're satisfied! How's that?

  Ming Xiao Xi raised an eyebrow: "Are you insulting me?"

  I..."; Dong Si's enthusiasm was immediately deflated: "Yeah, you lost a boyfriend, and no amount of other things can make up for that..."

  What do you suggest we do?

  Dong Si thought for a moment, hurting her brain, and suddenly she opened her mouth wide: "Ming sister, your meaning won't be that... I made you lose a boyfriend, so I have to take responsibility for finding another one for you?!"

  Ming Xiao Xi cried and laughed helplessly: "What do you say?"

  Dong Si's hands were clenched into fists as she muttered to herself, "Your request is also very reasonable. Otherwise... what do you think of my stupid brother? Alas, sometimes I secretly wonder if he has a crush on you, looking at the way you gaze at him with that strange expression..." She became more and more excited, "Yes, Xiaoxi, it would be great if you married my brother, then he wouldn't dare bully me, and we could...

  Ming Xiao Xi's expression had already become very dangerous: "You... say... what?!

  Tōji Hiro looked at her, carefully accompanying a smile and said: "No way, huh... Ugh, Tōji Hiromale is an idiot who can't possibly be liked by you... What to do... Ah! Good heavens!"; She suddenly exclaimed: "You... You won't think that——"

  Ming Xiao Xi quickly covered her mouth, just in time. If Dong Si's words had fallen on the ground, she would have been the headline girl of Ying De Academy's school newspaper again tomorrow.

  Toji's eyes widened in shock: "Good heavens, the magic of 'accidental kiss' is really that great? You've actually fallen for Kaze no Toji?"

  Ming Xiao Xi smiled mischievously: "What do you think?"

  Dong Si's tears started falling again "patter, patter", this time she seemed to be truly crying: "Waaah... Sister Ming don't do that... I won't dare anymore... Can you spare me?"

  Ming Xiao Xi thought the punishment she received was enough, took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears: "Don't cry, I was just joking with you."

  Dong Si suddenly wiped away his tears and stared at her in surprise: "Are you kidding me?"

  She smiled and nodded slightly.

  "Ah! You deceived me! I'll never believe you again!" Dong Si's face turned red with indignation as he protested.

  Ming Xiao Xi blinked her eyes: "I didn't cheat you, from start to finish it was always just you talking."

  Cunning!

  You little scamp, I'm teaching you a lesson! Let's see if you dare play again in the future!

  Dong Si's mouthful of snow: "I don't dare anymore."

  Also, tonight you're in charge of inviting Fūin-kun over to your place, and let's put an end to this whole ordeal together, okay?

  "Alright! Hand it over!" Dong Si Hao Xue patted his chest.

  These days, Ming Xiaoxi's mood is exceptionally good.

  Under the arrangement of Dong Si Hao Xue, she and Maki no Nagare and Kazuki came to the Dong Si's house that evening. In front of Dong Si's mother, Maki no Nagare subtly expressed his apology to Kazuki. That night everyone was happy, although there was still a bit of unnaturalness between Maki no Nagare and Kazuki, but Ming Xiao Xi believed that time would erase all the memories that shouldn't be there.

  This afternoon, the sunshine is good, and the remaining snow on the road will melt soon.

  Akira Kiyoshi walked home with a spring in her step, ah, today was a light day at the office and she could leave early, she wanted to cook something delicious as a "thank you" for Makihara Fuyu who had been especially gentle lately.

  Suddenly, Ming Xiaoxi seemed to have caught a whiff of a dangerous aura!

  She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child and is particularly sensitive to danger...

  Ah!

  Murder!!

  Run quickly!!!!!

  A large crowd of pedestrians ran over with a terrified expression, and their appearance seemed to have happened something very frightening in front of them!

  Ming Xiao Xi tiptoed and took a closer look ——

  Can't help but take a deep breath of cool air.

  Although she had also seen gangsters fighting in Taiwan, but such a large-scale underworld fire, she saw it for the first time.

  On the street, there were two gangs of people, more than thirty big men, who were fighting and killing each other with iron rods and long knives in broad daylight! They were all ruthless and cruel, wherever their sticks and blades reached, skin was torn and flesh burst open, blood splashing everywhere!

  Ming Xiaoxi also found that the center of all these people was a middle-aged man in a sorry state. One group of big men seemed to want to break through another group of big men's protection and kill the middle-aged man.

  However, the two groups seem to have a significant disparity in strength. The group chasing the middle-aged man has twenty or thirty people, while the group protecting him only has seven or eight people. Due to their numerical disadvantage, they are clearly at a disadvantage. It seems that the middle-aged man's life is in danger!

  After finishing her observation, Ming Xiaoxi turned around and wanted to leave. She was not interested in this bloody black-eating-black, the more fiercely they fought, the better, it would be best if a few more were hanged as negative teaching materials to warn young people not to get involved with the underworld.

  At the moment she turned around, a loud and clear shout was heard: "Protect the master and leave! I've got this place!"

  So familiar...

  Who is it?!

  Ming Xiao Xi looked at the battlefield in surprise once again ——

  Rushing into the midst of the two groups of big men was Bing Ji Tong, grasping a long whip!

  She is Bing Jue Tong, that middle-aged man who was being hunted down...

  Under the fierce lash of Bing Xue's whip, several big men surrounded a middle-aged man, killing one blood road, stuffed him into a car parked slightly further away, and quickly drove away! Those who wanted to catch up were blocked by her long whip and missed the opportunity.

  Another group of big men saw their target escape and vented all their anger on the suddenly appearing Ice Extreme Pupil.

  Ice Extreme Pupil, you're ruining our good deed again! A burly man with a butterfly tattoo on his face bellowed.

  To move Pasture Lord, you must step over my corpse!"; Bing Ji's eyes were sharp as ice.

  Good! If we can kill you today, we can also make a report to our superiors when we return! Up!

  A dozen or so big men rushed up and attacked her, their iron rods and long knives all aimed at her body!

  Even if Bīng Jí Lóng was extremely formidable, she wasn't a match for so many people. Her long whip managed to knock eight or nine people down, but the remaining knives and clubs all landed squarely on her body!

  Fresh blood sprayed wildly from her mouth!

  The police are coming! The police are coming!

  A voice screamed desperately!

  Run quickly! The police are coming!!

  My throat is almost hoarse from shouting!

  Ming Xiao Xi used all her might to shout at the top of her lungs: "The police are coming!! You guys run quickly!! The police have come to catch you!!"

  She has been shouting for a long time and her throat is killing her!

  She finally couldn't hold on anymore, covering her chest and starting to pant heavily.

  "Are you yelling?" The big man with a butterfly tattoo on his face asked coldly.

  It's strange, they're so calm, not even a hint of panic when they heard the police were coming. However, although she didn't scare them off, they temporarily shifted their target, and all eyes were fixed on her with anger.

  "What are you yelling about?" The tattooed man's eyes were icy cold.

  "Hey, the police are here." Ming Xiao Xi tried her best to squeeze out a smile, wondering if her "genuine" smile could move their souls.

  Where is the police? I don't see them anywhere.

  "Hey, the police will be here soon. I'm just reminding you guys out of kindness." Ming Xiaoxi's smile had become somewhat stiff.

  Are you in cahoots with her?

  Hehe......

  "If you want to save her, come over and die! If you just want to cause trouble, come over and let me smash your mouth!" The tattooed man raised his fist threateningly.

  Ming Xiao Xi walked away dejectedly, why didn't her usual trick to drive people away work this time? No choice, it seemed that she had no choice but to exercise today.

  "Go away! I don't know you!" The corner of her mouth bleeding, Bing Ji's eyes stared at Ming Xiao Xi who walked up to her side.

  Ming Xiao Xi let out a sigh: "Forget it, who would believe this now? Do you guys believe me?" she asked the big men.

  No way." The big men shook their heads.

  Look, Ming Xiao Xi supported the injured Bing Ji Tong and let her lean on him: "It seems we can only fight side by side from now on."

  Little butterfly, you really won't let her go!; Ming Xiao Xi still held on to the last thread of "dream".

  Tattooed Han's face turned red with rage: "How dare you call me Little Butterfly?!"

  "Huh? You have a butterfly tattoo on your face, don't you want others to call you Little Butterfly?" Ming Xiaoxi said with an innocent expression.

  I am a swallowtail butterfly, and you calling me a little butterfly is an insult!

  "Huh? That's not right. If you can get a butterfly tattooed on your face to show that you like butterflies, then why don't you like it when others call you Little Butterfly?" Ming Xiaoxi looked puzzled.

  I like butterflies because they are beautiful, but being called little butterfly hurts my masculine image!

  That's not right. Why would butterflies hurt men's images? Ming Xiaoxi looked confused.

  Because..."; the tattooed big man was angrily about to explain, when a thinner big man beside him pulled on his sleeve: "Big brother, she's stalling for time, probably waiting for the police to arrive.

  Ming Xiao Xi exclaimed: "Hey, you're quite clever! What's your name?"

  "My name is..."; The weak-looking big Han was about to answer, but suddenly reacted: "Do you want to delay again? Let me tell you, the police won't come."

  "Why?"; Ming Xiao Xi gave him her brightest smile and pleaded with him: "Please tell me, why have I waited for so long and the police still haven't shown up? Are they all on holiday today?"

  Haha! The tattooed big Han laughed: "Let me tell you, the police here have long been bribed by us. They won't show up until 10 o'clock tonight!"

  Is it so dark?

  Ming Xiao Xi's eyes turned pitch black, it seemed that a fierce battle was unavoidable.

  "Come on!"; Ming Xiao Xi's eyes widened, her fists clenched tightly, and she shouted loudly: "Those who are not afraid of death, come over!"

  The crowd of Han people picked up their stuff and formed a siege, heading towards Ming Xiao Xi and Bing Ji Tou...

  The police have arrived.

  A clear voice like a distant mountain rang out.

  Ming Xiao Xi took a look and it was Feng Jian Cheng! He stood beside her with his snow-white clothes, smiling and saying clearly.

  "This trick won't work anymore, I've already tried it." Ming Xiao Xi said with a crying face.

  But the police really came. Fūinji Chō looked at her and smiled.

  Really!

  Suddenly a large group of police officers rushed up from behind him!

  The police officers, one by one, held their guns and aimed at the gangsters surrounding them: "Put your hands up! Don't move!"

  In Feng Jiancheng's apartment, Ming Xiaoxi asked him in confusion: "Senior, we waited and waited but the police didn't come. Why did they arrive as soon as you appeared? How are you so magical?"

  Fujiwara smiled lightly: "Nothing special, I just made a phone call to the police station and asked them to come over."

  Wow, Japanese police are so obedient, how did they come in such large numbers all of a sudden?

  Fengjian Chen but smiled and did not speak.

  Ming Xiao Xi suddenly realized: "Ah, I know, is it because of your father's reason, he is the most powerful person in the political circle, so..."

  Kazehaya smiled wryly and patted her head.

  It's really black!; Ming Xiao Xi sighed: "It's as black as a crow in the world. If it weren't for you, senior, even if we were killed by random knives, the police wouldn't come to stop us?!"

  At this time, the bathroom door opened, Bing Ji Tong had changed out of her blood-stained clothes and was wearing a loose-fitting undershirt that belonged to Feng Jian Cheng.

  Fūin looked at her with concern: "Tōka, let me take a look at your injuries."

  Bing Jue's eyes fell silent for a moment before he spoke: "No need."

  Feng Jian's eyebrows furrowed as he pulled her onto a sofa: "Sit here, let me take a look. If the injury is serious, I'll have to send you to the hospital."

  Bing Jue's arms and shoulders have eight or nine new wounds of varying sizes. Some were beaten with sticks, while others were hacked by long knives. The wounds from the stick beating were purple and swollen, while those from the knife hacking had skin and flesh torn open.

  Feng Jian's eyes painfully stared at her apathetic eyes: "How can there be so many wounds?! Does it hurt?!"

  Bing Jue said indifferently: "These minor injuries are nothing."

  "You're a girl, you shouldn't be facing so many dangers every day! I'll go tell Uncle Makino, you can leave the 'Makino Group' now." said Kazehaya firmly.

  I'm not a girl, I'm a bodyguard. "Ice Extreme's voice was cold as ice:"; After leaving the "Pastoral Group", I don't even have the last bit of value to survive.

  "Ah!"; Fūma Kotarō stared at her in shock.

  Bing Ji Tong turned his head away, avoiding his gaze.

  Ming Xiao Xi stood by quietly watching as Feng Jian Cheng applied medicine to Bing Ji Ling's eyes.

  She noticed that Fēng Jiànzhuō's movements were so gentle and meticulous when applying the medicine to her eyes, as if she was a fragile treasure, careful not to touch or hurt her.

  She noticed that Bing Yujian was quietly staring at Fēng Jiànzhēn's every move, her eyes filled with a complex emotion, and her expression had a strange sense of excitement.

  Fūin Kazuki took a deep breath, lifted his head and said to Hyōga: "Alright, I've applied medicine to all the wounds I can see. Next," he looked at Myōshi Kei: "Kei, would you mind taking Hyōga to her room and checking if there are any other injuries on her?"

  "No need."

  Ming Xiao Xi wouldn't let her refuse, and with a smile all over her face, she successfully pushed Bing Ji Tong into the room.

  Good heavens, no wonder Ice Extreme's eyes bled earlier. There was a long and deep scar on her back, left by an iron rod. Whoever did this to her must have used their full strength.

  Ming Xiao Xi gently touched the wound: "Who did this? Such a big and brutal force."

  Fish Tarō, ";Ice Extreme Pupil suddenly couldn't help but laugh: ";It's the one you call Little Butterfly, he is Akana Daiki's number one henchman.

  Her smile is so beautiful, just like sunshine finally breaking through thick dark clouds.

  Ming Xiao Xi was stunned for a moment, and it took her half a day to realize that there was something off about Bing Ji's words.

  Is Xiaohuitang the hatchet man of Chiming Daqi? Then, was today's siege your doing under his orders?"; Mingxiaoxi thought with growing shock: "Then, the middle-aged man I saw being chased and killed by Xiaohuitang and the others is...

  Is that Ice's father, Makino Hideo?!"; Myouga Akira exclaimed.

  Bingjiu closed his eyes.

  Why? Didn't Makino Hideo and Akana Daiki have a good relationship? I even saw them being intimate together at Makino Ryuhyo's banquet! And wasn't Akana Kyoko supposed to marry Ryuhyo? Why is Akana Daiki trying to kill Makino Hideo all of a sudden?

  Ice Extreme Pupil does not speak.

  Ming Xiao Xi gazed at her solemnly: "Tong, although I haven't known you for long, I've always trusted you and considered you a friend. I want to ask you to tell me whether the things that have happened have anything to do with me and Bing. If they don't, you can say nothing, I'm not trying to pry into the underworld's secrets; if they do, please let me prepare first."

  Bing Jue's gaze lingered on her for a long time before he finally spoke: "The matter originated from you two."

  You should recall that two months ago, Akane Akatsuki was insulted and the great flag of Akatsuki threatened Lord Makino. If young master Makino did not immediately promise to marry Akane Akatsuki, "Nikkōsha" would formally declare war on "Makino-gumi".

  Ming Xiao Xi recalled: "I remember that at the time, Muye Xiong's hero immediately came to find Bing. However, Bing did not respond. But after that, nothing happened?"

  Hyōga smiled faintly: "That day, Makino-sama returned and refused Akame no Taika. Akame no Taika was enraged with shame and immediately declared that he would destroy the 'Makino Group'."

  Ming Xiao Xi was shocked and her mouth fell open: "Just... just because of a failed marriage between children?"

  In the underworld, "Makino-gumi" has always been in the top position, and "Nikkō-sha" has always been eyeing it. If Makino-san can unite with Akane Akana, then the two factions will be able to coexist peacefully. However, if this doesn't happen, Nikkō's only choice would be to annihilate "Makino-gumi".

  Ming Xiao Xi couldn't say another word. How did things end up like this? She had always thought everything was fine.

  So, which side has the upper hand now?

  Nikka Corporation

  "What?! You just said 'Pastoral Group' is the boss?!" Ming Xiao Xi was shocked.

  A great reputation is hard to live up to. "Ice Pupil" said calmly: "The 'Pastoral Group' has been pampered and their combat effectiveness has declined." The "Sunrise Association" has always been ambitious, developing its strength, with many skilled hands under its command, even some of the core members of the "Pastoral Group" have been bought over by them.

  So, how should this matter be resolved?

  Either Mr. Makino and Akane Akaname get married immediately; or the "Makino Group" is replaced by "Nikkōsha".

  If "Nikkōsha" defeats "Makino Group", then who is Makino's hero?...

  "It's absolutely certain." Ice Extreme Pupil replied with absolute certainty.

  "Why?"; The last bit of hope in Ming Xiaoxi's heart was also shattered.

  Pastor Makino is immortal, and Akana's great flag will never be at peace.

  Ming Xiao Xi's another question: "Does Muye Liuxue know about all this?"

  Bing Jue's gaze swept over her: "Got it."

  "What?! He knows?!"; Ming Xiao Xi exclaimed: "He actually knows?! What's his reaction then?"

  Bing Ji Tong smiled lightly: "Pasture Young Master said 'Let him go die'."

  Huh?!!

  "What about you?" Ming Xiao Xi looked at Bing Ji Tong with concern: "It's too dangerous, you'd better avoid it."

  I was raised by Makino-sama since I was a child, and unless I die, no one can harm him. The eyes of Hyōga began to chill.

  "Born as a member of the Makino family, die as a ghost of the Makino family?" Ming Xiao Xi sighed with a bitter smile and muttered to himself: "Touya is really an idiot."

  Makino Ryūko gazed at Akira, who was hugging a pillow and staring blankly into space in her chair. She had been sitting there like that for an hour already.

  "Hey, it's already six o'clock, aren't you going to work?" reminded Mukoyoshi Ryūhyō.

  Ming Xiao Xi gazed blankly at the clock on the wall, 5:55.

  "Oh, it's so late, I should prepare dinner now." Ming Xiaoxi got up and went to the kitchen: "Right, I took a few days off from work, I'm not going to work today."

  Makino Ayumu said with a puzzled expression: "Why don't you go? Is something wrong?"

  Ming Xiao Xi scratched her head: "Hehe, being outside all day is a change of mood."

  Makino Ryuichi glanced at her unnatural self: "If you don't want to say it, then don't. Don't lie."

  Heh heh." Ming Xiao Xi chuckled twice. It was really strange, she thought she had acted very naturally, ah, with a radiant smile and a bright laugh. Why couldn't she deceive him? Wait...

  Are you going out? Ming Xiaoxi exclaimed.

  Makino Ryu: "Is it wrong? Can't I?"

  "Hey, you're not a canary in a cage, of course you can go out." Ming Xiaoxi blinked: "Where are you going?"

  Buy some magazines. The Pastoral Flowing Ice has already prepared to open its doors.

  Wait for me, I'm going too. Ming Xiao Xi rushed over like a rocket, putting on her clothes at the fastest speed: "I'll go with you."

  Makino Ryu stared at her: "Why did you go out?"

  This time Ming Xiao Xi showed off her more radiant smile and let out a more cheerful laugh: "Hehe, staying at home all day, it's a change of mood."

  Ming Xiao Xi followed Mu Ye Liu Bing closely, her eyes darting back and forth as she looked around, her head constantly turning from side to side.

  "You all know?" asked Makino Ruki suddenly.

  Ming Xiao Xi jumped up: "Know... what do you know? How did you know I knew something?"

  Makino Ryu said with a smile: "You've been sticking to me like glue these past few days, and acting like a clumsy bodyguard. You must know what's going on with the 'Makino Group'."

  "Oh." Ming Xiao Xi lowered her head, was she being that obvious?

  Why didn't you come ask me directly?

  Ming Xiao Xi blinked her eyes: "You've always been reluctant to tell me, fearing I'd worry. Why should I tell you, just to make you worry that I'll worry?"

  Makino Ryu: "Why do you always have to say such complicated things?"

  Ming Xiao Xi blinked her eyes again: "Because I have a high IQ."

  Makino Ryuhyo finally burst out laughing: "You little scamp!......"

  Ming Xiao Xi hadn't seen Mu Ye Liu Bing laugh so heartily in a long time. He laughed like a carefree big boy, as if all the troubles in the world had nothing to do with him.

  How she wished she could keep his smile forever and make this moment eternal.

  However, Makino Ryuhyo's smile came to an abrupt halt.

  His eyes turned cold as he stared ahead.

  Ming Xiao Xi let out a long sigh in her heart and also looked forward.

  No wonder Miyano's mood had turned bad after seeing who the newcomer was.

  Akane An wore a black leather outfit, her hands clad in fingerless black gloves, and her hair had recently been dyed apricot yellow (which suited her name quite well). Behind her stood twenty burly men, an imposing sight. (Ever since the Ming Xiaoxi incident, Akane An never went out with fewer than fifteen people.)

  Akane glared at Ming Xiao Xi: "Ming Xiao Xi! You also have the nerve to show up in front of your aunt today?!"

  Haha! Ming Xiaoxi burst out laughing.

  She pointed at Akane, laughing so hard her stomach hurt: "Haha, haha... why haven't your eyebrows grown out yet? How ridiculous! Your drawn-on eyebrows look so fake! Just like two disgusting caterpillars!"

  Akane's anger suddenly attacked her heart, and Ming Xiao Xi's words were like a knife that pierced her most vulnerable spot. Since she failed to provoke Ming Xiao Xi and was shaved bald instead, her hair never grew back! She found countless hospitals, used countless types of ointments, and even thought of getting a hair transplant, but no matter how hard she tried, it didn't work. The poor "beautiful girl like a flower" (in her own opinion) turned into a strange woman without eyebrows.

  It's really a case of enemies meeting and eyes turning red, Chi Meng Xiang waved his hand: "Kill this stinky woman for me!"

  A relatively thin and weak man walked out from behind the big Han, he came to the angry Akane Misono's side: "Miss, don't you have other things to do today?"

  Ming Xiao Xi looked at him curiously: "Huh, is that you, the one beside Little Butterfly? Have you been released already?"

  Akane's face turned red with rage: "Nishizaki! Do you know this stinking woman?! Are you speaking up for her?!"

  The man named Xishan had a helpless look on his face: "Last time when I was chasing after Makino Hiro, she was also at the scene, so she has seen me."

  Akane's face was filled with suspicion.

  Ming Xiao Xi loudly shouted: "What he said is right, I've only met him once, and we don't have any relationship at all, you can't wrong him!"

  Akane glared at Seizan for a whole minute before forcing herself to turn her face towards Maki no Koori, speaking to him in her most "gentle" tone: "Koori-kun, I came this time to make amends with you."

  Makino Ryuhi stared at her like a dog watching its owner.

  "Akane An": "Elegant"; Di Yixiao: "As long as you marry me, I can agree to spare your father. The 'Makino Group' and the 'Nikkō Association' will be united from now on, with no distinction between them. How does that sound?"

  Makino Ryuhi glared at her with a look as disgusting as the world's most disgusting dog.

  Akane Akatsuki gradually lost his patience under the gaze he despised: "Makino Ryūhyō, if you don't let me have you, I'll immediately destroy 'Makino-gumi'! Let 'Makino-gumi' never set foot in the jianghu again!"

  Makino Ryū's ice-cold gaze made her feel sick.

  Akane Aka shouted: "Makino Ryūhi, if you don't let me have you, I guarantee that within ten days, you'll see the corpse of Makino Hīrō!"

  Makino Ryuhyo's expression was slightly moved: "Really?"

  Akane smiled triumphantly: "Are you scared? If you don't agree with me, I'll make sure Makino Hideo dies without a burial place!

  Makino Ryu's icy smile: "Well, I suppose I should thank you for that."

  Akane Akaneya's eyes widened in surprise, and yet he still couldn't be swayed?

  Her face began to darken, her eyes narrowing into a line: "You're not going to want me no matter what, are you?"

  Makino Ryu's icy smile: "Even a female dog is stronger than you, at least its meat can be eaten. But your flesh makes me want to vomit just by looking at it."

  Akane's facial muscles began to twitch, and she glared at him ominously: "Makino Ryūhi, you will regret what you just said."

  Her voice was like a curse: "I will get you, even if it's your corpse, I will possess you."

  "Bald-browed woman! You are truly the most shameless person in the world!" Ming Xiaoxi couldn't bear it anymore, she had never seen a woman so devoid of shame.

  "What's your name?!" Akane was so angry she almost fainted.

  Bald-browed girl, aren't you unable to grow eyebrows? This name suits you so well!"; Ming Xiaoxi chuckled: "Moreover, if others can't call it clearly, they might think it's 'bald beauty' instead. Without eyebrows, she's still a 'beauty', Miss Chi is indeed famous all over the world!"

  Akane An's eyes blazed with anger: "Do you think I couldn't hear that you were mocking me?!"

  Ming Xiao Xi was extremely surprised: "You actually made progress? It seems that medicine is indeed making progress!"

  "Ahh! I'm so angry I could die!"; Akane Akatsuki furiously roared, why can't she ever beat that stinky woman Ming Xiao Xi: "Kill her for me! I want her dead today!"

  Twenty big men behind Akane An pulled out their stuff from their bosoms and surrounded Ming Xiaoxi.

  Ming Xiao Xi looked at them, some holding knives, some holding clubs, some holding iron chains, and one guy was even holding a meteor hammer!

  She looked at herself again, a pair of small fists and two thin legs, looking very disadvantaged.

  She's been running into situations where she needs to use force lately, and she's started considering whether or not to bring some weapons for self-defense. A long stick? A big knife? A long sword? Two wolf-tooth clubs? ... They all seem a bit exaggerated, and inconvenient to carry. Ah, a long whip seems like it might be good, soft, light, and powerful, she seems to recall someone using one before...

  A long whip came out of thin air, bringing a sharp whistling sound, and struck the hands of the "Ri Xing She" thugs with a loud crackle, like lightning. The big men were caught off guard, and their knives and clubs clattered to the ground.

  Got it! The weapon of Bing Jue Tong is a long whip!

  Akane glared at Hyōga's sudden appearance with uncontrollable anger. Damn it, why does someone always pop up to save that stinking woman Ming Xiaoxi?!

  Akane Minadzuki: "You damned woman, Ice Queen! How dare you ruin my plans!"

  Haha! "; Ming Xiao Xi held her belly and laughed loudly: "Akane Akatsuki, you must have dropped out of elementary school!"

  Akane's eyes gleamed with a strange light: "You... how did you know..."; Not many people knew about this matter, and she had always claimed to the outside world that she was a junior high school graduate.

  Haha...... "; Ming Xiao Xi laughed so hard she couldn't catch her breath: "Can't you come up with something else besides 'stinky woman' all the time? Can't you enrich your vocabulary a bit?"

  Ming Xiao Xi, you stinky woman, are you insulting me again?! Chi Ming Xiang was so angry that she almost collapsed: "Do you think that with the addition of Bing Ji Tong, this stinky woman, I won't be able to deal with you? Get up! Have these two stinky women killed!"

  No one moves.

  Twenty-odd big men looked at me, I looked at them, hesitating and no one came forward.

  "Come on! You stinky men, why aren't you going up?!" Akane Misono yelled like a madwoman.

  Xishan carefully walked up to her side and whispered: "Miss, take a look behind Ice Extreme's back."

  Akane rubbed her eyes, what... when did... forty or so fully armed "Makino Group" men appear behind Kyouko? Had she been driven to distraction by that stinking woman Akio and not even noticed this many people?

  Xishan whispered: "Miss, if we fight, we will definitely lose, and you may become a hostage, so..."

  Run!...

  Xishan gave an order, and Akane Akatsuki of "Nikko-sha" fled with her head down under the protection of many big men!

  Go after him!...

  Makino Corps; a large number of Han people wielding various weapons chased and killed them!

  Under Ming Xiao Xi's warm invitation, Bing Ji Tong finally stayed and had dinner with them.

  Ming Xiao Xi enthusiastically picked up a piece of fish meat and put it into Bing Ji Tong's bowl: "Try some, this is my signature braised carp."

  Bing Jue's eyes stared at the piece of fish meat, without saying a word.

  Ming Xiao Xi thanked him saying: "Thanks to you for showing up in time, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to drive away those twenty or so big men without a scratch."

  "It's my duty to protect Master Maki," said Hyōga quietly.

  "Oh, I see." Ming Xiao Xi thought for a moment: "Wait, isn't your main task supposed to be protecting Mu Ye's hero, or is it protecting Bing?"

  Makino-sama has ordered me to protect young master's safety.

  Ming Xiao Xi was surprised and said to Mu Ye Liu Bing: "Hey, look at your father still worrying about you, specially letting Teng come..."

  I don't have a father." Makino Ruka coldly cut her off.

  "Master Maki's indeed very concerned about you, he had me protect you 24 hours a day. That's why I was able to appear in time today." Hyouga said with a serious expression.

  Shut up. Maki no Ryū Hyō glared with his icy pupils.

  Hyōga's icy gaze remained fixed on him as he continued, "Lord Makino paid a great price for your sake, young master. You shouldn't treat him with such an attitude."

  "Get out!"; Makino Ryuichi's anger was triggered.

  "Hyō"; "Hyo"; He stood up: "No matter what your reasons are, Makino-sama is still your father. Seeing him remain unresponsive while you're in danger isn't right."

  Makino-style icy aura is extreme and laughable:

  Huh? You think the current situation is my fault? You should still remember, when the "Makino Group" was handed over from grandfather to Makino Hideo, it was prosperous and thriving. In just eight years, Makino Hideo made it a place where talent withered away, and people turned against each other, while that old dog Akame Daika took advantage of the situation and rose to power. Now, Makino Hideo has fallen to the point where he can only barely survive by selling his dignity through me. Can all this be blamed on me? Should I be grateful to him just because he didn't use violence to hand me over to Akame Kyou?

  Bing Jue thought for a long time and said in a low voice: "In any case, Mr. Makiya didn't come to force you again, he's always thinking of the father-son relationship."

  Makino Ryu gazed at Hyōga's icy eyes with a cold, harsh expression: "I'm warning you for the last time, I don't have a father. If you forget again, then don't show your face in front of me anymore."

  Bingjiu gazed at Muyexue's frozen body, remaining silent for a long time.

  "Hey, many people have different opinions on one thing, like fish, some think steaming is delicious, some think sweet and sour is good, some think braising is great, and some think it's all good. Maybe due to differences in taste, there will be many biases. Hey." She looked at the two of them, not knowing if they would accept this explanation. Fortunately, Muyexi Liu Bing and Bing Jue did not get angry again.

  Ming Xiao Xi smiled and said to Bing Ji Tong: "Hey, you didn't even eat a single fish? Don't you like braised dishes?"

  Bing Jue Tong looked at the fish pieces in the bowl again: "I never eat fish."

  Ming Xiao Xi Zhang opened his mouth: "Why?"

  Because of the thorns.

  "Just because there are bones you've never eaten fish before?" Ming Xiao Xi was shocked.

  Since I was young, Master told me not to waste time on useless things." Bing Ji's eyes were expressionless as he stared at her.

  Ming Xiao Xi almost fainted, good heavens, what kind of inhuman life has she been living?
