Another man walked in behind the Tattooed Strongman - short and scrawny with a sleazy face. This was Yellow Hair Man.
He was holding a bunch of keys, likely the ones he had used to pick the lock on the supermarket door.
Hearing the Strongman's whistle, Yellow Hair Man saw the beautiful Shen Yiyue and his eyes lit up in agreement:
"She's definitely hot, tsk tsk, she must feel great. I'm bored of those old women."
He licked his lips, eyeing Shen Yiyue with a lewd and greedy gaze, as if already imagining violating her.
"Don't get your hopes up. For such prime goods, the boss will definitely have her first, before it's our turn," the Tattooed Strongman said with a glance at Yellow Hair Man.
Shen Yiyue felt incredibly uncomfortable under their disgusting stares. Their crude words also made her furious. They were already treating her like their plaything.
She gripped her long knife, her eyes cold as she pointed the blade at them:
"You two better get out of here fast, or you're dead."
Hearing this, Yellow Hair Man and the Tattooed Strongman burst out laughing:
"Hahaha, she says we're dead! We're so scared! What, have we already been surrounded by just you alone?"
"I hope you'll still be this feisty in bed. Don't go begging for mercy, hahaha!"
Shen Yiyue should have been even angrier hearing this, but she became remarkably calm instead.
She recalled what Ning Yu had said during training: "Don't let the enemy control your emotions."
So she tightened her grip, preparing to attack with her knife and seize the initiative.
However, at that moment, several more burly men walked in through the door.
Some were carrying steel pipes, others fire axes, and they all had military daggers at their waists.
All told, there were probably over 10 of them.
At the very back was a man in a snapback cap whose face couldn't be seen clearly.
So many people?!
Shen Yiyue was startled. She had thought dealing with two men would be challenging enough.
The number of opponents was far more serious than she had imagined.
When had they started staking out this supermarket?
Shen Yiyue made a quick decision - there was no way she could fight so many people on her own.
For now, she could only try to buy time until Ning Yu returned!
Shen Yiyue immediately pushed over a nearby shelf stocked with various items. Cookies and instant noodles spilled all over the floor.
Then she turned and ran deeper into the store.
She didn't know when Ning Yu would be back, she just had to hold out as long as she could!
Yellow Hair Man and the Tattooed Strongman didn't chase after her immediately. Instead, they turned to the Snapback Man who had entered behind them and asked:
"Boss, we'll go catch her. There's no other exit from this supermarket, she can't escape!"
Both men had sleazy grins, probably hoping to take advantage of Shen Yiyue while capturing her.
"Go ahead, just remember to bring her back alive," the Snapback Man replied calmly.
"No problem, boss!"
After giving his approval, the Snapback Man turned to give orders to the others:
"You, guard the entrance. Don't let anyone else in. Leave those women outside for now, they won't dare run."
"The rest of you, search the supermarket for any other people. Kill the elderly, weak, sick and disabled. Keep the children, young women and able-bodied men."
"Gather all the food and water in one place. I'll allocate it later."
From under the shadow of his cap brim, the man issued several commands in a calm yet ruthless tone.
The men immediately sprang into action.
Shen Yiyue had just reached the small back courtyard and looked at the high wall.
She wanted to try imitating Ning Yu and climb over, but the wall was too high and Ning Yu had set traps on top.
She really didn't understand how Ning Yu came and went so easily.
But there was no other choice now, she had to at least try.
Just then, Yellow Hair Man's sleazy voice came from behind:
"Hey pretty lady, stop running. Better save your energy, you'll be plenty tired later~"
He put special emphasis on the word "tired."
Yellow Hair Man and the Tattooed Strongman had caught up and entered the small courtyard.
Now she had no time to attempt climbing the high wall. She turned to face them, knife at the ready.
Seeing only the two of them, with the others not yet arrived, this was a good opportunity!
Yellow Hair Man was extremely arrogant. Holding a dagger, he charged forward first, still taunting:
"Stop struggling and put down your weapon. Big brother promises to make you feel real good!"
This time Shen Yiyue ignored his words completely, her whole body tense and highly focused.
She had been training in combat with Ning Yu for several weeks now, sparring with her many times.
Now was the time to put her training to the test.
Yellow Hair Man clearly wasn't taking Shen Yiyue seriously, assuming she only knew flashy moves and was forced to take up a weapon in self-defense.
Although he had a dagger, he didn't attack with it, afraid of injuring Shen Yiyue.
After all, the boss wanted her captured alive, and he wanted to play with her himself. Can't accidentally kill her.
Yellow Hair Man reached out, trying to quickly grab Shen Yiyue's weapon hand.
But what met him was Shen Yiyue's merciless blade!
His expression changed dramatically!
He had no idea Shen Yiyue would strike so quickly and viciously.
He tried to jerk his hand back and turn away, but it was too late. His index finger and part of his thumb were cleanly sliced off!
Yellow Hair Man immediately cried out in pain, clutching his bleeding fingers. His eyes filled with shock and disbelief, and even more hatred.
He stepped back a few paces, cursing furiously:
"You fucking bitch! You're dead!"
He attacked again with the dagger in his uninjured right hand.
Rage had clouded his judgment, making him forget the boss's order to capture her alive.
The Strongman who hadn't yet engaged suddenly shouted from behind:
"You idiot, get back! This chick's trained!"
His tone showed he wasn't worried Yellow Hair Man would stab Shen Yiyue to death, but rather that Yellow Hair Man was in danger.
But Yellow Hair Man was already committed to his attack. The Strongman had no choice but to charge forward as he yelled.
To Shen Yiyue's eyes, Yellow Hair Man's movements were painfully slow.
After long practice sessions with Ning Yu, Shen Yiyue had almost gotten used to Ning Yu's speed and rhythm.
Though she still couldn't beat her, Shen Yiyue's reaction speed had improved dramatically.
She sidestepped to the left, dodging Yellow Hair Man's stab. Taking advantage of the opening in his movement, she delivered a vicious knee strike.
The blow hit Yellow Hair Man's stomach like a hammer. The bread he'd eaten that morning threatened to come back up.
He broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
Not just from the heavy hit, but because Shen Yiyue's blade was moving again!
"Swoosh!"
Shen Yiyue didn't hesitate at all. Wielding the long knife, she slashed down like an executioner!
The blade sliced across Yellow Hair Man's neck.
His throat was cut open!
Blood gushed out in torrents. He only managed to make a choking "huh huh" sound before collapsing.
A large pool of blood quickly formed on the ground as his body twitched.
Even in death, Yellow Hair Man couldn't believe this delicate-looking girl was so well-trained.
His petty thief's skills were no match at all.
Shen Yiyue looked at Yellow Hair Man's corpse, suppressing the urge to vomit. This was her first time killing someone.
She never imagined her first real combat after training would be so dire.
Who could have guessed that just a few months ago, she was still a student diligently doing homework in a bright, clean classroom?
There was no time to think further. The Tattooed Strongman's leg was already lashing out in a fierce kick!

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
