Le Yao Yao was completely unaware that as she arrived by the river, she was spotted by Leng Junyu and Nangong Junxi.
At that moment, she had finally managed to pull Frosty’s hand and squeezed into a prime spot at the front.
Here, there was no one to obstruct their view, allowing them to fully take in all the sights along the riverbank!
The Dragon Boat Racing was nearly ready, with intricately carved Long Boats lined up on the river.
With a light sweep of her Beautiful Eyes, she noticed that there were about thirty Long Boats.
Each boat's prow was adorned with colorful and uniquely shaped Wooden Dragon Heads. Moreover, the colors of these dragon heads varied, and the participants on the Long Boats wore outfits that matched the colors of their respective dragon heads, creating a very neat and attractive appearance.
As Le Yao Yao gently observed those Long Boats, her gaze suddenly caught a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.
Initially thinking she might have been mistaken, she focused again and this time, she saw clearly.
On a Long Boat adorned with a wooden carving of a white dragon, leading the group was a tall man dressed in white.
His Black Hair flowed like a waterfall, his brows sharp as swords, and his Deep Black Eyes sparkled like stars. He had a noble nose and elegant lips.
The snow-white outfit contrasted beautifully with his fair skin, making him look like an immortal who had mistakenly descended to the mortal realm—so ethereal and extraordinary.
Amongst the crowd, he stood out remarkably, making him hard to ignore!
This man was none other than Dongfang Bai! Seeing him, Le Yao Yao's Beautiful Eyes widened in surprise as she murmured to herself in disbelief.
“Eh? How did Brother Bai end up here?!”
Le Yao Yao was puzzled, but before she could think further, Frosty, who was standing beside her, suddenly exclaimed. In an instant, her soft body dove into Le Yao Yao's embrace.
Although Frosty was not heavy, the sudden impact nearly knocked Le Yao Yao into the river.
Fortunately, at the last moment, Le Yao Yao managed to steady herself. After taking a deep breath, she looked down to find Frosty's little face filled with anger and humiliation.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao furrowed her brows and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Frosty?"
"Brother Yao, that person... that person..." Frosty's delicate face was flushed with indignation, and she hesitated to continue.
However, her furious gaze kept darting towards a burly man not far from them.
The man stood behind Frosty, appearing to be around forty years old. He had a stocky build and a rather lewd expression on his face.
At that moment, he boldly scrutinized Frosty with his lascivious eyes, his gaze glimmering with desire as if he were about to drool.
Seeing such a lewd figure made Le Yao Yao think of a lazy toad.
Moreover, noticing Frosty's angry and humiliated expression, Le Yao Yao could guess what had just happened. It was clear that this rogue had taken advantage of the crowd to harass Frosty, causing her to seek refuge in her embrace.
Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao felt a surge of anger within her.
Damn it, how could someone so ugly commit such beastly acts? It was infuriating!
However, even though Le Yao Yao was furious and wished she could punish this lewd man, she also understood that her strength was no match for his. If it came to a fight, he could easily crush her with just a finger.
So confronting him head-on would be like striking a rock with an egg.
Perhaps Frosty sensed Le Yao Yao's thoughts. Although she felt wronged, she was more afraid of what Le Yao Yao might do.
If Brother Yao got hurt, it would break her heart.
Thus, Frosty sniffled delicately, furrowing her beautiful dark eyebrows, putting on a pitiful expression as she spoke to Le Yao Yao.
"Brother Yao, let’s just leave this place!"
After what had just happened, Frosty felt extremely aggrieved and had lost all interest in watching the Dragon Boat Racing.
Moreover, that big man was still standing behind her, staring at her with a burning gaze that made her feel as if she were standing before him completely exposed. It made her uncomfortable all over.
Le Yao Yao understood Frosty's concerns upon hearing her words.
However, if Frosty had been taken advantage of and she simply let this man go, it wouldn’t sit well with either of them. She felt the same frustration building inside her.
Especially when the big man seemed to notice her furious glare and provocatively shot her a glance filled with undisguised contempt.
It seemed that he thought she was too petite, knowing she was no match for him, so he dared not act against her.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao was furious.
Her hidden hands clenched into tight fists, wishing she could rush forward and give that brute a good beating.
At the same time, the scene unfolding on their side was vividly captured in the eyes of the two on stage.
After all, ever since they spotted Le Yao Yao, Nangong Junxi and Leng Junyu had not taken their eyes off her.
So when Frosty was assaulted by that brute, and ultimately faced his provocation, Le Yao Yao's anger was clearly visible to Leng Junyu and the others.
Nangong Junxi, witnessing this, immediately set down his cup of tea and exclaimed to Leng Junyu sitting beside him.
"Senior Brother, it seems Piglet is being bullied!"
Nangong Junxi's words were laced with undeniable tension.
Although in the past he often enjoyed teasing Piglet, it was merely to attract his attention.
Now, seeing him being bullied, a surge of anger flared up in Nangong Junxi's heart; he wished he could kick that brute into the river.
In contrast to Nangong Junxi's worried and furious expression, Leng Junyu remained calm, his Cold Eyes dark and unruffled, like a tranquil autumn lake.
However, his thin lips tightened slightly at that moment.
Those who knew his personality well understood that this was a sign of the wrath of the living Yama.
Who dared to bully him!?
They were clearly seeking death!
Thus, Leng Junyu slightly turned his face, intending to let Mei pass and handle the situation.
However, in the next moment, when he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, he saw the person who had been furious suddenly displaying a radiant smile towards the burly man.
Seeing this, Leng Junyu's handsome face froze for a moment, and then his previously pursed lips curved into a slight smile.
He smiled lightly...
Meanwhile, Nangong Junxi, observing that his senior brother seemed completely unconcerned and not showing any anger but instead smiling gently, felt puzzled and asked.
"Senior Brother, are you really going to let Piglet be bullied?!"
Wasn't Senior Brother usually very good to Piglet?! Now that Piglet was being bullied, was Senior Brother truly planning to stand by and do nothing!?
Thinking of this, Nangong Junxi grew anxious.
Seeing that Leng Junyu had no intention of intervening, he decided to take matters into his own hands.
However, it seemed that Leng Junyu sensed his thoughts and simply coldly spoke up.
"Just watch! That person is in for it!"
"Huh? Senior Brother, what do you mean?"
Nangong Junxi was puzzled by Leng Junyu's words.
However, Leng Junyu had no intention of explaining further. Nangong Junxi could only suppress his anxiety and sit back down.
He knew that his senior brother would not say anything without confidence.
If he said that, it meant that this matter would be resolved by that Piglet.
But could he really handle it!?
He looked so small, and if that big man swung a punch...
Thinking of this, Nangong Junxi found it hard to continue imagining.
He wanted to rush in to save the Little One, but in the end, he decided to trust his senior brother's words and wait for the outcome.
Meanwhile, Le Yao Yao had no idea what was happening on stage.
Because right now, she had more important things to do!
Just moments ago, she had been furious to the point of almost exploding, but she still hadn't lost her rationality; only a fool would go and fight a rock with an egg!
A person as clever as her would never do something so foolish!
Moreover, she had finally come up with a way to deal with that big man.
With that thought in mind, she flashed a smile at the burly man who was provocatively staring at her.
That smile was incredibly charming. Even though Le Yao Yao was dressed in men's clothing, she was still captivating enough to draw everyone's gaze.
Clearly, the big man was also enchanted by Le Yao Yao's radiant and charming smile, feeling both amazed and bewildered.
His companion had just been rude to him, yet this young man smiled so brightly at him. Could it be that this young man had taken a liking to him!?
With this thought, a sense of pride surged within the big man, and his lewd grin deepened.
Heh, today he had struck gold! Such a stunning pair would surely be his...
Just as the big man was daydreaming about his good fortune, Le Yao Yao seized the opportunity while he was still in a daze. She swiftly extended her small hand and delivered a sharp slap right on the backside of the woman in front of the big man.
The sound of the slap echoed loudly, clear even amidst the bustling crowd.
In an instant, everyone was drawn to the crisp sound of the slap, turning their puzzled gazes toward Le Yao Yao and her companions.
The woman who had just been slapped felt as if she were a spring, bouncing back with such force that she nearly fell into the rushing river behind her.
However, she managed to steady herself just in time. With an "Ouch!" she quickly turned around and glared fiercely at the source of her discomfort.
"Who the hell slapped my ass!?"
With the woman's fierce voice, gasps erupted from the crowd.
The reason was simple: this woman was not only intimidating, but her appearance was also quite unflattering.
Weighing around one hundred fifty pounds, with sturdy limbs that could be likened to an elephant, and a protruding belly that made it seem like she was five or six months pregnant at first glance.
But her physique wasn't the most terrifying aspect; it was her face!
Her round face was covered in rolls of flesh, dotted with acne and blemishes that made it resemble a pockmarked moon.
Thick eyebrows framed her large, bulging eyes, resembling copper bells, while her bulbous nose and wide mouth completed the unsettling picture.
The more they looked, the more some in the crowd felt nauseous.
Beside them, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but twitch her lips, though she mostly felt amused.
Earlier, she had only caught a glimpse of the woman's profile and thought she looked rather fierce, which sparked an idea in her mind.
Little did she expect that when the woman turned to face her, that expression would be—well, quite memorable!
At least it was hard to forget at first sight!
Just as Le Yao Yao reveled in her thoughts, the woman shouted angrily again, realizing no one had admitted to it, and immediately launched into another round of harsh insults.
"Damn it, who just groped my ass!?"
"Pfft!"
"Haha..."
With the furious shout of the Fat Woman, some in the crowd couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Others were whispering without any restraint.
"This woman is so ugly, getting groped must be some kind of twisted fortune! And she's still so fierce!"
"Exactly, but I wonder who has such... cough cough, unique taste to even look at something like her!"
"Exactly..."
Although the murmurs in the crowd were not loud, they were just enough for the Fat Woman to hear.
As a result, the Fat Woman became even angrier.
She looked up and shouted fiercely at those who were mocking her.
"Who dares to talk about me? You must have eaten bear hearts and leopard gall! My father is from the Academy, be careful or I'll have him throw you all in jail to eat prison food!"
The Fat Woman spoke with an air of arrogance, her demeanor exuding confidence as if she were saying 'my father is Li Gang'.
However, it was evident that the remark from the Fat Woman had quite an effect. Although the crowd was filled with indignation, they knew better than to confront authority, and one by one, they fell silent.
Seeing this, a smug expression spread across the Fat Woman's face.
Her large eyes then swept fiercely in front of her.
As her gaze moved, those who had been standing behind her began to retreat.
In the end, only Le Yao Yao, Frosty, and the burly man remained unmoved.
Le Yao Yao had no intention of backing down; there was no need for it, especially since she was waiting for the drama to unfold!
The burly man also stood his ground, perhaps feeling confident due to his imposing stature and showing no fear of this woman.
Moreover, since he hadn’t been the one to strike her earlier, he felt no reason to retreat.
After scanning her surroundings with a fierce glare, the Fat Woman's gaze finally landed on the burly man.
After a thorough examination, she seemed to conclude that he was indeed the most suspicious one—he was the prime suspect in the earlier incident. Her deep black eyes narrowed slightly as she spoke up.
"Were you the one who hit me just now!?"
Though it was phrased as a question, the Fat Woman spoke with absolute certainty.
After all, in her view, none of those around her could compare to this man's lewdness. If it wasn't him who had assaulted her, then who could it be!?
The Fat Woman's insistence left the burly man momentarily stunned, but soon enough, anger flared within him.
His gaze towards the Fat Woman was filled with unabashed disgust, and his tone dripped with contempt.
"Me hit you!? You really have no self-awareness, do you? I'm not blind! If I were to assault someone, I'd pick a delicate girl, not you! Hmph, if you don't have a mirror, go take a look at yourself by the river! You're ugly and fat; even a pig looks better than you! And that face of yours—tch, just looking at it makes me want to vomit up last year's New Year's dinner!"
Perhaps this man was used to being arrogant, so he spoke without holding back, letting loose every insult he could muster.
The woman listened, her fury nearly causing her to spit blood. She was adamant that this man had assaulted her. With her eyes wide open and hands on her hips, she unleashed a furious tirade at him.
"I knew it was you! You despicable man! After assaulting me, you dare to say such things!? Hmph, just look at yourself—sharp-nosed and monkey-faced, with thieving brows and a pitiful appearance! If I were you, I'd have hanged myself with a noodle long ago. How dare you come out here and embarrass yourself like this!"
When it came to insults, the Fat Woman was equally fierce.
The burly man’s anger surged as he heard her words. His Silver Fang clenched tightly, veins bulging on his forehead, making him appear even more menacing.
"You ugly woman, I don't want to waste more breath on you. I'll be honest: I wasn't the one who hit you!"
"Hmph, not you? Then who could it be!?" The Fat Woman clearly did not believe him.
Not wanting to continue this exchange with the ugly woman any longer, the burly man pointed angrily at Le Yao Yao, who was watching the scene unfold with great interest.
"The one who hit you was him, not me!"
"What!?"
Upon hearing this, the Fat Woman followed the direction pointed by the burly man. When she caught sight of Le Yao Yao, her ugly round face momentarily froze in surprise.
Seeing the Fat Woman looking her way, Le Yao Yao had already anticipated this moment. The Little Face, who had been enjoying the show, immediately switched to an extremely innocent expression when the woman turned to look at her. She blinked her beautiful eyes and said with a face full of innocence, "Big Sister, it really wasn't me. Just now, my sister and I were behind you. We both saw it with our own eyes; it was this uncle who harassed you!"
As she spoke, Le Yao Yao glared angrily at the uncle, her face filled with indignation. "You, uncle! You bullied Big Sister and still won't admit it? Are you even a man? Now you're trying to blame me! I... I..."
At the end of her sentence, Le Yao Yao's nose twitched slightly.
Her expression resembled that of a small dog being bullied, so pitiful that those present couldn't help but feel a deep sympathy for her.
Moreover, they could no longer stand by and watch the burly man bully Le Yao Yao. One by one, they began to speak up.
"How can you do this? You bullied that lady and now you're trying to pin it on a child!"
"Exactly! You're truly heartless!"
"There's no way I would believe that such a beautiful and innocent child could do something so terrible! If you're looking for someone to take the blame, it shouldn't be like this..."
"Exactly, exactly..."
Despite the crowd's righteous indignation, the burly man was furious but found himself at a loss for words. No matter how he tried to defend himself, no one believed him anymore.
However, the big man was unwilling to accept being schemed against by Le Yao Yao. Ignoring what everyone else said, he raised his fist, as large as a cooking pot, and aimed to swing it at Le Yao Yao.
Before his fist could land on her, the Fat Woman beside him reacted even faster. With a swift motion, she swung her fist like a pig's trotter and struck the big man hard in the stomach, shouting angrily as she did so.
"You idiot! You want to die? How dare you hit a child! Just watch me beat you to a pulp!"
Though the Fat Woman was somewhat overweight and not particularly attractive, she displayed a strong sense of justice at that moment.
Moreover, despite her size, she possessed considerable strength. Each punch she threw at the big man was powerful and unyielding!
In an instant, the burly man found himself unable to withstand her blows and began to retreat repeatedly. Unbeknownst to him, right behind him was the roaring Yangtze River.
As one could imagine, he fell right into the river.
With a loud splash, water erupted around him.
Accompanying this was a round of enthusiastic applause and cheers from the crowd.
After falling into the river, the big man looked up at the crowd's malicious gazes and could only swim away in embarrassment.
Once he left, the Fat Woman on the shore continued to grumble angrily through clenched teeth.
"Hmph! Stupid man! Count yourself lucky you got away fast; otherwise, I would have made sure you couldn't stand up again!"
Hearing her words, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but laugh so hard that her stomach hurt.
Frosty occasionally stifled a laugh beside them.
Then, she quietly leaned closer to Le Yao Yao and whispered, "Brother Yao is amazing; that big guy was scared off."
"Hehe, of course! Brother Yao is really clever!"
Le Yao Yao accepted Frosty's praise without hesitation and even indulged in some self-admiration.
If someone else had said those words, it would have come off as arrogant and narcissistic. However, when they came from Le Yao Yao, they only made her seem incredibly adorable.
Especially with the smug look on her face, she resembled a little fox that had just stolen a farmer's chicken—so pleased with herself!
Seeing this, Frosty couldn't help but smile sweetly, her gaze toward Le Yao Yao filled with even deeper affection.
On the shore, Nangong Junxi and Leng Junyu, sitting on the platform, were clearly observing the scene unfolding below.
After all, the Bamboo Platform was built in a location with an excellent view. Sitting up there allowed them to take in every detail of the spectacle below.
