Danyang Bully

Li Shiyin had never been an obedient child since she was little. She often angered her parents and of course, now she also angered Qin Ran. So her ability to endure beatings and pleading was excellent. Her ability to act coquettishly was also excellent.

It didn't take her long to coax Li Zhan and Yang Yanqi to feel comfortable again and stop being angry at her.

On the second day after returning home, Li Shiyin found Li Shiwen who was drinking under a rockery. She dragged him out and kicked his wine away, saying, "Let's go, I'll take you to beat someone up."

"Not interested," Li Shiwen only felt heartache for his wine. He staggered to pick up his wine pot.

Li Shiyin forcibly dragged him out the door.

Soon, the two arrived at the gate of the household of the Minister of Rites, not far from their home. She didn't kick down the door, only shouting loudly at the gate, "Tang Yin! Get out here!"

She saw clearly yesterday on the street that Tang Yin's subordinates were among those who bullied Li Shiwen. Since Li Shiyin had said she would let them wash their necks clean and wait for her, she had to keep her word today and go collect their dog heads.

After Li Shiyin finished shouting, the gate of the Tang residence soon opened a crack, and an elderly gatekeeper poked his head out, looking at Li Shiyin in fear, and said, "My young master is not home."

The notoriety of the Li siblings in Danyang City needed no further elaboration.

"Then where is he?" Li Shiyin asked.

The gatekeeper shook his head: "How would this insignificant one know the affairs of the master's household?"

"If you don't tell, I'll tear down your gate and prevent you from being a gatekeeper," Li Shiyin threatened.

This gatekeeper was quite loyal and would not speak no matter how Li Shiyin threatened him.

Li Shiyin could not really tear down someone else's house. She paced around Li Shiwen twice, and suddenly thought of a place. She asked the gatekeeper, "Isn't he at the Tianxiang Tower?"

"You..." The gatekeeper was shocked and wanted to ask how Li Shiyin knew, but he reacted quickly and hurriedly lowered his head, "This insignificant one is unclear."

Now was different from the past. Li Shiyin's pair of eyes specialized in finding people's flaws and weaknesses. They were as bright as stars. She saw the gatekeeper's change in expression clearly and instantly knew she had guessed correctly.

She didn't say any more to the gatekeeper, and dragged Li Shiwen to run towards Tianxiang Tower.

"Shiyin..." Although Li Shiwen was decadent, he was neither stupid nor crazy. He asked Li Shiyin, "Do you know what kind of place the Tianxiang Tower is?"

"Isn't it just the place where you drink flower wine? What's so strange about that?" Li Shiyin retorted.

Li Shiwen nodded. Although it was a little embarrassing, it was good that Li Shiyin knew.

After hurriedly walking for a while, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "Then do you know what drinking flower wine is?"

"How would I know what kind of flower wine they drink? We haven't arrived yet. When we get there, I'll smell it and find out. It must be peach blossom wine, apricot blossom wine or something. Could it be osmanthus wine?" Li Shiyin said impatiently to Li Shiwen's hemming and hawing.

Li Shiwen patted his forehead. This girl really didn't understand. He had thought she had become much smarter over the past half year...

Although Li Shiyin was always said to be a bully, she hadn't really done anything to tyrannize men. In fact, it was because she couldn't stand those debauched playboys that she became a bully.

The playboys were the bullies of Danyang City, and Li Shiyin, who specifically troubled bullies, was the bully among bullies. That was why she had such a terrifying reputation... Actually she was very simple and kind.

Li Shiwen pulled Li Shiyin and asked, "Do you still remember the Conservatory?"

"I remember. You were beaten by father a few years ago for going to the Conservatory," Li Shiyin replied.

As the weather was cold, Li Shiwen couldn't help but coughed. Then he said, "Tianxiang Tower is actually the same kind of place as the Conservatory."

"?" Li Shiyin reacted and stopped.

At this moment, in the Tianxiang Tower's elegant private room, there were four young masters in brocade robes, eight glamorous and charming beauties, and sixteen pretty young maids pouring tea and giving massages.

The four young masters were Tang Yin, the second son of the household of the Minister of Rites; Xiang Hui, the younger brother of General Xiang Ji who guarded the north; Mi Hua, the illegitimate son of the Eighth Prince; and Tian Boming, the son of an academician of the Hanlin Academy.

Xiang Hui was half-lying on a soft chair with a glamorous beauty pressed against him. He had his eyes closed, his hands groping the woman, and moaned, "I heard Li Shiyin is back."

One beauty was massaging Tang Yin's head while another beauty was massaging his feet. Tang Yin drank tea and disdainfully laughed. "So what if she's back? She's just a woman. What can she do?"

"Hehe!" A smile appeared at the corner of Xiang Hui's mouth. His hand reached a critical place. The beauty in his arms let out a soft moan. He said, "Don't underestimate her. That girl is quite good-looking, with a fiery temperament, like a little wild horse - very much to my taste. Her pair of strong, sturdy long legs... One day, I will have her wrap them around my head... Oh, I can't stand it anymore..."

As he spoke, he burrowed into the beauty's bosom, using her softness to replace his imagination.

"Tsk..." Tian Boming sneered and reminded them, "Li Shiyin is engaged to someone surnamed Cheng."

"Wasn't there news that Li Shiyin went to the Dao Sword Sect to cultivate?" Mi Hua, resting on the soft beauty, said.

"Cultivation?" Tang Yin raised his hand and shook his finger. "At first I half believed it, but now she has returned, and it hasn't even been a year. How much can one achieve in cultivating Taoism and seeking the way in just a year?

"Besides, how could a cultivation sect allow people to casually leave the mountain? I reckon she was doing chores there for half a year, either she was abandoned by the sect, or she couldn't stand it herself and ran away."

"Oh no!" Xiang Hui's spirit suddenly shook and he opened his eyes.

"What is it?" The other three were startled.

"If Li Shiyin went to the sect to do chores, to be a medicine maid, stove and cauldron maintenance, wouldn't she have already been taken advantage of?" There was lament in Xiang Hui's eyes. "What a pity... she must have been ruined."

Xiang Hui's words made Tian Boming shake his head and remind them again, "That Cheng fellow also went to cultivate, didn't he? I heard he became an inner disciple at the Xuan Qin Yun Tian Gate."

"That kid does have decent aptitude," Mi Hua added.

Tang Yin suddenly sneered, "I don't know whether to say he is humble or passionate. Just because he heard Li Shiyin went to cultivate, he also wanted to cultivate..."

"All for a woman, how pathetic is that?"

"Right."

"Has that kid come back?"

"Now that Li Shiyin is back, I reckon it won't be long before he returns too..."

Just as they were chatting idly, the door of the elegant room was suddenly kicked open.

Xiang Hui didn't even look back and scolded, "Which bastard has no manners? Get out!"

"Xiang Hui?" The kicker spoke in a clear female voice. "Quite the bluster you have there!"

The voice sounded familiar to Xiang Hui. When he looked back, he was so frightened that his limbs went limp.

"Ahaha..." He smiled ingratiatingly. "So it's Boss Li Shiyin."

That was Xiang Hui for you. Just now he spoke so arrogantly and lewdly, and now he behaved so servilely and obsequiously... He wished he could kneel before Li Shiyin.

The other three were not much better off.

Why was this so?

It was just that these debauched young masters had been beaten by the martial arts trained Li Shiyin one too many times, and they already harbored fear in their hearts.

And the more fearful they were inside, the more arrogantly they acted outside. The one who had spoken the most outrageously just now was now kneeling most obediently.

"All of you get out!" Li Shiyin said to the powdered skeletons.

The scent of rouge and bodily fluids was quite nauseating when stirred by the heat...

These were the well-behaved sisters of the best Tianxiang Tower in the capital. Seeing the situation, they knew it had nothing to do with them. Supporting each other, they softly and weakly walked out.

After the idle onlookers had left, Li Shiyin casually closed the door and coldly laughed at the four inside who were shivering, "Let's settle our accounts!"

Xiang Hui was extremely afraid, but when he looked up, he suddenly saw Li Shiwen cowering behind Li Shiyin, looking for wine to drink. This made him realize that previously Li Shiyin could bully them because she had an invincible brother. But now her brother...

How could he, Xiang Hui, still be afraid of her?!

"She's alone!" He stood up and shouted, "The four of us can't even beat her?"

Tang Yin also reacted, Li Shiwen is now disabled, beaten by them every day, today there is only Li Shiyin alone.

He shouted loudly: "Brothers, fight with her..."

In the 24th year of Jiande in Northern Chu, winter, the people of Danyang City saw such a gratifying event:

The four biggest local tyrants in Danyang were beaten black and blue, stripped of their clothes, with chains around their necks held in their mouths. They crawled back home from Tianxiang Tower, barking like dogs in the snow.
