"Hehe, come here, the beauty I’ve been daydreaming about. Do you know how long I've been waiting for this day?" The bald man smacked his lips, leering with a lascivious smile. He slowly began to advance toward Meng Luo Shen.

"Don't come over, don’t get close to me!" Meng Luo Shen was panic-stricken. She desperately wanted to retreat from the approaching bald man but her back was already against the wall and there was nowhere to escape. The sides were blocked by the men accompanying the bald man. She initially found herself trapped without escape.

“Meng Luo Shen, just accept your fate. Be assured, I’ll be gentle, hahaha…” The bald man’s eyes shone brightly, full of lust in his gaze.

"No, help! Help...”

"Hehe, don’t rush to holler; once we get started, you’ll have plenty to scream about…” The bald man's wickedness grew more pronounced. His hands rubbing together, his eyes shone brighter, his heart more excited as Meng Luo Shen became more flustered and afraid.

"What a knockout! A perfect face, a perfect body, skin white as snow... I can't resist! I can’t stand it anymore. Come here, beauty!" Using foul language, the bald man's excitement grew, and finally, he could no longer contain himself. He suddenly opened his arms and pounced at Meng Luo Shen.

“Is this the end?” Watching the bald man rush forward, Meng Luo Shen instinctively shut her eyes. Her face turned a deathly grey, for she could completely envision her impending fate.

"Scum, let go of that girl!"

Just as the bald man was about to pounce on Meng Luo Shen, a thundering shout echoed.

Swoosh!

Immediately, a huge chunk of mud fell from the sky, hitting the bald man square in the face.

"Ouch!" With a painful cry, the bald man fell to the ground.

"Boss!"

“….”

Crying out in alarm, the group of thugs around the bald man rushed over and quickly helped him up.

"Who was it? Who just ambushed me? Ah, my head…" The bald man roared in anger as he stood up, clutching his throbbing head. Just a moment ago, he had been violently hit, leaving a large lump on his scalp.

"Come out, get out here! I'll kill you!" The bald man bellowed with a snarling face, his eyes scanning the surrounding foliage. He was peeved beyond words, his gaze trying to find the person who attacked him from the shadows.

"Don’t be in a hurry...I’m here," a panting voice finally echoed back after a while. Following this, everyone saw a man who was humbly dressed dashing out from some nearby scrub.

This man was none other than Wu Qianhan, who had just descended from the peak of Jade Kun Mountain.

"Phew, that was exhausting. But fortunately, I arrived just in time!" Wu Qianhan gasped heavily as he caught his breath.

He then turned his gaze towards a girl hiding in a corner, completely ignoring the men around him. He was extremely curious to see what the girl he just saved looked like, but the moment he laid his eyes on her, he froze. His eyes filled with an overwhelming sense of awe.

"Marvelous! Is this the universe's way to compensate me for my years of celibacy?" Wu Qianhan's eyes twinkled as he stole glances at the beautiful girl, mesmerized by her looks.

Her beauty was undescribable — simply perfect. Her tall and slender silhouette, approximately five feet six inches tall, wore a one-shoulder black dress that showed off her milky-white shoulder. Her skin was naturally fair, but under the contrast of the black dress, she looked even more enchanting.

Her cinched waist highlighted her astonishingly slim figure, and the dress hem reached just up to her knees, layout a striking balance between coverage and exposure. Her straight, pale long legs kept disappearing and reappearing which was genuinely entrancing.

At this moment, Wu Qianhan's gaze was entirely focused on her long legs, utterly fascinated by her.

"Such beauty, such a silhouette and face — it was indeed worth my life-threatening rush," Wu Qianhan muttered to himself, feeling fortunate.

In fact, Wu Qianhan was drawn here by the girl's cries for help. However, he had to sprint for a long way before he finally arrived, almost reducing him to a husk of exhaustion. At the sight of her, though, he felt it was all worth it — extremely worth it!

Women like her are extremely rare, even in heaven and non-existent on earth. How could he let anyone harm her? Even if someone has to, it should be him...only him!

"You brat, were you the one who ambushed me?" Suddenly, the furious voice of the bald man echoed through Wu Qianhan’s daydream, his eyes glowering at Wu.

"Ambush?" Wu Qianhan was slightly startled, then turned to look at the bald man. A look of sudden realization dawned on his face, and he said, "Oh, you mean that big lump of mud. Yes, I threw it..."

Then, he scrutinized the bald man, nodding approvingly, "Hmm, not bad at all. The technique and force were just right, neither too much nor too less, right on target." After speaking, he cracked a big, toothy grin.

"Damn it! You're asking for it, boys, grab your weapons and beat him to death!" The bald man was about to explode. He'd have been better off if Wu hadn't said anything, but now his anger was fueled. What did he mean by 'right on target'? What the hell does he think my head is?

"Sure thing!"

"Let's go, boys!"

...

A deafening roar rang out, and seven or eight men around him immediately picked up their iron rods and rushed towards Wu Qianhan menacingly.

"Hold on!"

At this moment, Wu Qianhan shouted out, effectively stopping the charging men in their tracks.

"What is it, last words?" A blond man sneered.

"Um...I was thinking, can we wait a bit before starting the fight? I need a break...I kind of sprinted a bit too hard just now." Wu Qianhan scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"What do you think, kid?" A towering man nearly 1.9 meters tall coldly laughed, deliberately shaking the iron rod in his hand, a cruel smile on his face.

"Alright then, one last thing, actually, I think... fighting is a bit barbaric. We should be civilized, why don't I let you guys off this time? You should leave as soon as possible, what do you think?" Wu Qianhan hesitated for a moment, his expression sincere.

"Spare us?"

"Stop wasting time with him, let's do this!"

...

After hearing Wu Qianhan's words, the seven or eight men roared in outrage and charged at him.

Watching the crowd suddenly advance towards him, Wu Qianhan grinned, a splendid smile spreading across his face, "If that’s the case, then I can’t take the blame!"
