As a true man and a good boss, how could I let the beautiful customer take action?
I placed the freshly grilled Da Yao Zi on the nearby table and stepped out from behind the grill, positioning myself in front of Su Yan.
"Hey guys, cut it out! Just give me some face; I'll treat you to some skewers another day, alright?"
"Get lost! Give you face? Who do you think you are?"
The leader of the thugs waved his hand, and instantly, four or five burly men surrounded me.
"Seriously... Are all thugs this impulsive these days?"
I swallowed hard; I knew my own strength well enough. It seemed I was destined to be beaten up in front of the beautiful woman today...
But no matter what, I had to give it a try. I pulled out my Copper Scraper from my waist.
Suddenly, I felt the warm demonic energy I absorbed yesterday begin to circulate through my body’s meridians, like a short blade that used softness to overcome hardness, breaking through blockages one after another. I could even hear the faint cracking of my bones.
In just a few seconds, I crossed over the Checkpoint that had previously held me back and entered a new realm.
This feeling was incredible!
I switched the knife to my left hand and gathered strength in my right hand before throwing a punch!
With a powerful strike that cut through the air, I sent two thugs flying, crashing into the beer crates beside the stall!
The thugs were stunned!
I was stunned too!
The onlookers screamed and ran away!
Wait, am I really this impressive now...?
In less than ten seconds, my barbecue stall had turned into chaos, with overturned tables and chairs everywhere.
The thugs lay sprawled on the ground in disarray.
Su Yan looked at me with a complex expression.
"Who exactly are you?"
"Uh..." I scratched my head awkwardly, unsure of how to explain when my peripheral vision caught sight of the table next to the grill.
Wait a minute, what happened to that large bunch of Da Yao Zi I just grilled before the fight?
I turned my head to look—Su Yan was bent over, casually shoving the last skewer of Da Yao Zi into her mouth, along with a few empty sticks she had in her hand, which she tossed carelessly onto the ground.
Noticing my gaze, she lightly pressed her lips together and said, "It tastes pretty good~"
I: ???
This Little Fox Spirit... Tsk, it's just skewers; can’t she stop looking so charming while eating?
The next morning, I got up to practice despite feeling groggy. The sensation of demonic energy flowing within me last night had given me a subtle insight. Following Old Li's teachings, I held my breath and focused, guiding the demonic energy to circulate within my body.
After a few moments, I felt an unprecedented lightness throughout my entire being, and the Copper Scraper in my hand seemed to resonate with me more than before.
After finishing my practice, I brewed a pot of tea and leaned back in my chair to rest. I toyed with the copper coin that Su Yan had left behind.
This coin was quite ancient, surprisingly warm and smooth to the touch. Upon closer inspection, it had some unintelligible symbols engraved on it.
"A Jing, what exactly is this thing?"
The copper mirror flickered slightly as A Jing slowly replied: "This is a token of the demon clan used for conveying important messages. The symbols on it are Demonic Script; only highly skilled great demons might be able to read them."
Why did Su Yan leave such an important item with me? What exactly is this Little Fox Spirit up to?
Just then, the copper coin in my hand suddenly began to shake violently!
"What the hell?"
I nearly dropped the coin but quickly steadied my grip.
At that moment, A Jing's face changed dramatically. "Not good! Su Yan is in danger!"
