A Night of Easy Victory We Must Protest

Chi Qingchi: "Huh? Really? Sister Zu Xian actually said lines like that?"

Mo Shangying: "If it comes from Maomao's mouth, it must be true."

Ye Mengfu: "Wow, that's... impressive..."

Chen Qimeng: "Is it The Eagle Shooting Heroes I watched when I was younger? Maomao watches old movies too?"

Xia Yiwei: "Qimeng, Maomao's tastes are pretty broad. Heh, you'll discover more surprises later."

Maomao: "Most of them were forced on me by Wei back then."

Xia Yiwei: "Hey, don’t twist my words! When did I force you? Weren’t you watching them to learn?"

Members of the Demon Gang: "!!!"

Gao Yumin: "???"

And just like that… they’re chatting normally now?

A graceful, traditional-style beauty with a devastating verbal output—shouldn’t that seem bizarre to them?

Gao Yumin even wondered if his ears were playing tricks on him.

His lips twitched awkwardly, but he still foolishly pressed on:

"Hey, miss… maybe you’ve had a bit too much to drink?"

"I don’t mean anything by it, no ill intent…"

"We come here often to eat, so maybe we could…"

Before Gao Yumin could finish his "maybe we could grab a meal together sometime,"

Shen Buyao turned sharply, propping her elbow on the table as she scrutinized the "Demon Gang."

Shi Yanhai, Gou Feng, and Zhao Bin hadn’t even done anything,

yet they instinctively averted their eyes, not daring to meet her gaze.

They were terrified her razor-sharp words would land on them next.

Playing mute?

You think staying silent will get you off the hook?

"Hmph."

Shen Buyao smirked coldly before saying:

"Cut the crap. You come here often?"

"If you really did, you’d know this place offers free beer refills!"

[Ding!]

[Critical hit! The sect master’s fierce strike leaves the Blazing Sea Demon Gang severely wounded!]

[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones, 20 Spirit Stones, 20 Spirit Stones, 20 Spirit Stones]

Lin Yu almost wanted to kowtow to his antique-loving sister.

She was unstoppable!

He thought she was just a single-target verbal assassin, but she could dish out AoE damage too.

Perfect!

Now, a glance at his old classmates…

Gao Yumin: "!!!"

Gang members: "!!!"

Is that even a thing?

They’d never heard of it!

Gao Yumin suddenly felt the beer in his hand weigh a ton.

He stammered out an excuse:

"That’s… that’s because…"

"Yanjing’s better, so we… brought our own!"

Shi Yanhai: "Exactly. The beer at restaurants these days isn’t great."

Zhao Bin: "Right, right."

Gou Feng: "We’re used to drinking this when we hang out."

Grateful for his buddies’ backup, Gao Yumin shot them a look.

Bros before woes!

"Coming through, excuse me!"

"Here’s your extra six bottles of cold Yanjing, folks."

"Free refills, drink up. Let me know if you need more dishes."

The husband-and-wife shop’s owner, a towel draped over his shoulder, cheerfully served them.

After setting the beers down,

he wiped his sweat with the towel.

Noticing the young men lugging around cases of beer,

the owner asked in confusion:

"You guys… part-time beer delivery students?"

"I didn’t order any today."

"Ah, no worries, you’re just in time. Lots of Yanjing drinkers today. Leave the beer, and I’ll settle it with your station later."

[Ding!]

[Critical hit! The hidden master’s intervention leaves the Blazing Sea Demon Gang with no escape!]

[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones, 20 Spirit Stones, 20 Spirit Stones, 20 Spirit Stones]

Lin Yu: Tsk… I didn’t even do anything, and you’re already down?

What kind of day is this?

Free-win mode?

What kind of lousy "Blazing Sea Demons" are these?

No prestige at all.

Even the restaurant owner can casually stomp on them.

They’re not even a fraction as intimidating as the Outer Path Demons.

Shen Buyao burst into silvery laughter:

"Pfft—hear that, ‘regular customer’?"

"Still wet behind the ears, skipping studies to chase girls?"

"Go screw your whole family! Take a piss and look at yourself—you think you’re hot stuff?"

"Spouting nonsense, dreaming of swan meat!"

[Ding!]

[Fatality! The sect master seizes the moment, unleashing divine might, annihilating a Blazing Sea Demon Gang member—only a wisp of soul remains!]

[Reward: 20 Spirit Stones]

Lin Yu: Brutal!

The guy was just shooting his shot,

but Antique Sis didn’t leave him a shred of dignity.

Using the owner’s words, she delivered the killing blow.

Another soul left hanging by a thread.

Lin Yu quickly pulled out a chair, ready to smooth things over.

Antique Sis had done more than enough.

Now, it was his turn to clean up.

But just as he moved,

Shen Buyao suddenly reached out and said:

"College boy, my bad. Couldn’t help roasting those morons."

"Insulting your classmates was disrespectful to you."

"Go ahead, curse me out. The harsher, the better—I can take it."

Then, she turned and glared at Gao Yumin’s group:

"He can scold me. I’m fine with it."

"But if any of you dare—go screw your uncles—just try me!"

[Ding!]

[Soul Reaper! The sect master obliterates even the last wisp of soul, leaving no trace behind!]

[Reward: 100 Spirit Stones]

Gao Yumin stared blankly at Lin Yu.

His naive, playboy heart had been thoroughly trampled.

Shen Buyao’s words shattered their shallow worldview in seconds.

Lin Yu could curse her out…

And she’d be happy about it…

Wasn’t that quiet girl Lin Yu’s girlfriend?

And this verbal assassin… his backup?

What about the twins?

Stuck in agonizing limbo, they didn’t know whether to leave or stay.

Never in their lives had they felt so humiliated.

The owner, sensing trouble, wiped his sweat and said:

"Uh… my mistake, sorry, sorry."

"You’re here to eat, right?"

"No need to bring beer next time—free refills here."

"How about… you guys sit inside?"

If he didn’t separate these two groups soon,

he feared fists would start flying.

Lin Yu wore a disarmingly warm smile:

"Don’t rush, don’t rush. Class Rep, go ahead and grab a table."

"I’ll bring Big Chi and Little Chi over to chat in a bit."

"Won’t stay long, just a few words…"

"Big Chi, that okay?"

At the end,

Lin Yu’s gaze shifted to Chi Qingshui.

Seemingly a polite question—

but in truth, a silent show of dominance.
