Xie Jian had trouble traversing the streets. She was unfamiliar with the countryside, after all.
She had offered for Lan Xiang to marry into her family instead, but that caused a minor fight between them. So, she never brought it up again. Still, she was indignant towards the Lan family for throwing their young master to the countryside.
"Ah, it's there! Hongtian Restaurant. Why is it surrounded by police?"
"Because a gang caused trouble inside here."
Xie Jian could hear his exhaustion through the phone.
"Eh? A gang? Don't tell me... The Punk Thug Gang?"
Xie Jian had only recently found out about the gang through various conversations with passers-by as she asked for directions. She heard that the leader of the gang was at least level 6, Attribution Form realm.
"Yeah, that's what the other customers are saying, at least."
"So it's only minor troubles. I'm on my way then! I'm hanging up..."
Beep!
Lan Xiang glanced at the door, waiting for Xie Jian.
While he waited, he watched the trifle between the police, the gang, and the manager.
"What're you doing, huh? You're antagonizing us, the Punk Thug Gang?"
The police shivered as he bowed his head quickly. "No, sir! We, uh, received the wrong address!"
The manager looked at the police leaving as quickly as they came and fell into despair. It's over.
As the last police officer left, the doorbell rang once more. An unbelievably beautiful girl with a voluptuous body went inside, capturing the attention of everyone in the restaurant.
"B, boss! Look!"
The fat leader was already leering towards Xie Jian, drool dripping down his mouth. "A, aha... We have someone to play with tonight..."
Xie Jian stood still, looking for Lan Xiang. She was already used to lascivious looks, so she didn't mind it one bit.
"Here, Jian'er!"
Her eyes lit up and she went towards Lan Xiang.
The fat leader and the two thugs were disheartened. She had a companion?
He glared at the cashier before walking towards where Xie Jian headed.
When he saw the handsome boy with Xie Jian, he sneered.
Ignoring Lan Xiang, the fat leader interjected between the two and talked to Xie Jian.
"Hey, pretty babe."
Xie Jian's smiling face immediately disappeared and was replaced by a look colder than winter.
The fat leader wasn't bothered. All of the women before her also had that look before he pleasured them into heaven.
"Excuse me, what's your business here?" Lan Xiang was kind of annoyed. He was right there, yet the fatty ignored him?
Of course, the fatty continued not paying heed to Lan Xiang and moved his stare towards Xie Jian's boobs, his drool dripping further.
"How about you... ehehehe, let me play with those?"
"Xiang, let's leave." Xie Jian stood up and grabbed Lan Xiang's hand, planning to exit.
They were blocked by two thugs in a similar attire to the fatty. "Woah, why are you in such a rush?"
The two emitted their auras, Level 2 Body Building realm.
Behind them, the fatty also released his aura, Level 4, Outer Transmission realm!
"What! The thug was actually at Outer Transmission realm, we really underestimated him..."
"The police were lucky they didn't dare try to apprehend them."
"Poor guy, now his girl will get stolen."
The other customers gossiped. They looked at Lan Xiang, pitying him. It seemed that he was destined to wear a green hat today.
Lan Xiang scrunched his eyebrows. These guys were so annoying! "Can you please get out of our way? Thanks in advance."
The fatty laughed hoarsely. "Who said you could leave? However, I might consider it... if the girl stays."
The fatty scanned Lan Xiang and his displeased expression. He couldn't sense anything from him. Of course, he didn't bother with Xie Jian.
"Look, I get it, I really do. You don't want your girl to disappear because you can't satisfy her. But strength is everything in this world. It's not my fault you're weak, eh?"
This time, it was Xie Jian who spoke. "Strength is everything, huh?"
Suddenly, her aura was released!
Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, 4, 5, 6!
Level 6, Attribution Form realm!
The thugs pissed their pants! They didn't expect the girl to be strong!
Even as strong as their boss!
"M, Missy, we can talk about this... Let's be civilized people!"
All of a sudden, Xie Jian threw three kicks, aimed at each one of the thugs!
"Ah!" "Ugh!" "Ack!"
They all flew out of the door, piling up on the street.
When their nausea subsided, a loud horn sounded!
Bam!
The three went flying, hit by a giant truck. Blood spurted out of their mouths as they spun in the air, creating a majestic image of a cyclone of blood...
The customers were stunned. The cashier was stunned. The manager was stunned.
Lan Xiang's eyes lit up. "Why didn't I think about this before? My fiancee's own technique!"
Xie Jian pulled Lan Xiang. "Ai, Jian'er, the troublemakers are already gone! Plus, I haven't finished my food yet."
"Eh, now that they're gone, I guess we have no reason to leave..." Xie Jian was completely convinced.
The two returned to their seats, unaffected by what just happened.
After a few minutes of peacefulness, Lan Xiang spoke. "Jian'er, can I, ahem, see your cultivation technique?"
"Eh?" Xie Jian was surprised. "No, this technique is for the Xie family exclusively..."
"Please, only a skim will do."
"Even so..." Xie Jian was still clearly hesitant.
"Ahem, how about this. I look at it for one second only."
"Erm... I guess that's fine."
She took out the book from her storage ring and handed it to Lan Xiang.
Xie Jian had no idea what he was planning to do. He wouldn't learn anything from a one second glance of the technique, why even bother? Was he that desperate?
Thinking of Lan Xiang's father, Lan Gong, refusing to give him the Lan family cultivation technique, she felt pity.
"...Xiang, how about..."
...you marry into my family, then I'll let you see the technique as much as you want.
Before she could say that, Lan Xiang handed the book back. "Thanks, I love you!"
After which she received a kiss on her cheek.
Xie Jian went blank.
Soon after, she snapped out of her daze.
"That was unfair..."
"Eh, what was?" Lan Xiang was busying himself with the system.
"The sudden attack!"
"You mean, you want more?" He couldn't pay that much attention to what he was saying.
"N- no, I mean, yeah, I guess..."
After hearing that, Lan Xiang couldn't bother with the system anymore and dragged Xie Jian out of the restaurant.

"Ah, another day wasted..."
Lan Xiang lamented the wasted day and a half he spent...
"Ehehehehe..."
The little giggle came from Xie Jian, who had a massive smile on her face as she slept peacefully beside him.
"...I guess there's no such thing as wasted days!"
