Chapter 20: I Haven’t Even Gotten on the Car Yet!

Yang Xu felt despair.

One Chen Yanran was already hard to deal with.

Now there was an even stronger Third Elder added to the mix.

‘This is going to kill me.’

At this moment, he had no intention of capturing Yang Liuqing.

His mind was solely focused on finding a way to escape.

The problem was, with two experts present, could he really get away unscathed?

The answer was painfully realistic.

Absolutely no chance!

If he had known this earlier, he would have backed down and given up the fight.

But regret came too late.

Since there was no point in regretting, he decided to strike first.

While Chen Yanran was distracted, he would go all out and defeat her by surprise. He would deal with the rest later.

He knew full well that this woman was absurdly strong.

But with her concentration wavering, he might have an opening.

His fist, clenched so tight it felt like it would explode, shot forward!

He hit nothing but air.

As it turned out, Chen Yanran’s distraction was just an act.

When someone thinks they have the advantage, they tend to expose even more openings.

Chen Yanran simply sidestepped and dodged.

Then, seizing the massive opening after Yang Xu’s attack, she put on a public display of spinning him like a top.

His screams of agony were unending.

Yang Liuqing’s attention wasn’t on that scene; it was completely drawn to Third Elder.

This old man, who clearly had many stories to tell, was opening his handbag and pulling out a stack of red Soft Sister Coins.

The white bank seal was still on it.

“As expected of a rich person, casually pulling out ten thousand in cash…”

Yang Liuqing had once seen her parents’ compensation money; a bundle was exactly ten thousand.

To her as a child, that was an astronomical figure.

Even after she started working, her savings had never reached ten thousand.

Delivering food wasn’t as profitable as she had imagined.

As a newcomer, saving up ten thousand was still somewhat difficult.

“Here.”

Now, ten thousand was tossed over like trash by Third Elder.

No, that was like a technique for throwing hidden weapons!

Yang Liuqing tensed up immediately, her eyes locked onto the rapidly flying money. She caught it with one hand.

The next moment, her palm shook, and a strong force spread through her entire body.

Was this a test?

She couldn’t help but think that possibility.

“Master, he just threw it casually.”

Ke Ling’s words made Yang Liuqing a little embarrassed.

She had been overthinking.

The truth was, the money was a bit heavy.

This heaviness had nothing to do with its physical weight.

It was simply the weight of Chen Yanran’s goodwill, pressing down on her like a thousand pounds.

In this society, you could borrow money from various loan companies, but a friend who would lend you ten or twenty thousand without batting an eye was one in ten thousand.

Not to mention someone she had known for less than ten minutes.

“Sister, you’re a good person. I really like you!”

Yang Liuqing shouted over there, then turned and quickly left without waiting for a reaction.

“Huh?!”

Chen Yanran was startled and almost let Yang Xu counterattack successfully.

‘That kid…she’s so good with words!’

‘Wait, if you can talk like that, say more!’

She was a bit reluctant to let Yang Liuqing go.

‘She’s so good-looking and knows how to read people. I really want to take her home and keep her!’

If Yang Liuqing knew her true thoughts, she would probably run even faster.

‘So you want to treat me like a pet!’

The roar of motorcycles on the street grew louder.

It was Huang Mao’s group.

They had noticed the commotion and were coming to investigate.

Maybe they could find Yang Liuqing.

At that moment, a figure rushed over rapidly in the darkness.

Huang Mao stared and couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Damn! I find him without even trying… wait, why did I say that again?”

“Boss, watch out!”

Hearing his underling’s warning, Huang Mao saw a shoe flying toward him.

No, it was a flying kick!

Yang Liuqing’s Knight Kick.

The unprepared Huang Mao was kicked flying.

Then, Yang Liuqing spun in midair and landed on the motorcycle. Ke Li hugged her waist, while Ke Ling sat at the front, her small hands gripping the handlebars.

The Social Youth Gang members were still stunned by Huang Mao’s kick.

The group was already speeding away on the motorcycle.

“A Hongda liter-class bike. Huang Mao’s got money.”

Yang Liuqing looked at the familiar winged logo and sighed.

She had only ever driven a Hongda 125cc utility bike that was thirty years old.

As a child, she was forced to learn to transport grain for her uncle’s family. She never thought she would ever ride a liter-class sport bike in this lifetime.

Even though it was stolen… no, borrowed with skill. How could that be called stealing?

“Master, this wild horse is a bit unruly.”

Ke Ling’s hair was scattered by the strong wind.

“Little Qingqing, don’t tell me you learned this on a simulator again.”

Ke Li could tell from her driving that she had experience.

“I actually did learn this one.”

Yang Liuqing’s view was a bit obscured by Ke Ling’s flowing hair.

She was driving purely by feel now.

“My precious bike!!!”

Behind them, Huang Mao screamed in agony.

Clearly, the pain of being kicked was nothing compared to the pain of losing his bike.

“Chase them! If you don’t get it back, I’ll beat you all to death!”

Hearing this, the underlings immediately sprang into action.

“…Wait, I haven’t gotten on yet!”

In the end, Huang Mao was left behind alone.

Meanwhile, the fight had ended.

Having grown bored, Chen Yanran gave Yang Xu a “buried in the ground” treatment.

“Boring. What ‘Fist Overlord’ and ‘Cock Overlord’? Just flashy titles.”

She clapped her hands, brushing off the dust.

“Third Elder, let’s go find that Yang Liuqing and play. Hopefully, she can give me some entertainment.”

“…”

Third Elder was speechless.

But after a moment of thought, he decided to speak.

“Miss, you’ve already met Yang Liuqing.”

“Huh? Third Elder, have you finally gone senile?”

Chen Yanran looked shocked.

‘The Third Elder who raised me since childhood, after all, couldn’t withstand the erosion of time.’

‘Time is truly merciless.’

She couldn’t help but sigh.

“Miss, take a look at this person. Does she look familiar?”

Third Elder knew his young lady’s nature well, so he didn’t bother explaining. He simply pulled out a tri-fold phone and opened it to show her.

“Yang Liuqing… wait, sister, how is it you?!”

Chen Yanran felt as if she had been hit by a ton of bricks.

‘The sister I saved is the entertainment I was about to look for?’

‘What the hell is this?!’

“Miss, you didn’t read the intelligence yourself. You can’t blame others.”

Third Elder looked helpless.

“You mean I not only saved her but also gave her ten thousand?”

Chen Yanran held her forehead, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

“Forget it. Consider it building a good connection.”

Soon, she lowered her hand and laughed heartily.

After all, her goal had never been the Magic Potion.

As long as she had fun.

Wasn’t this unexpected meeting proof that they were connected by fate?

“Third Elder, I’ve decided to side with her.”

“As long as you’re happy, Miss.”

Third Elder let out a light sigh.

His young lady had always liked to act on her own.

He had no way to change that.

“Hehehe, judging by her appearance, she must be under the influence of the Magic Potion.

Interesting. She already looked like a girl.

Now, I suspect both her body and mind are almost there.”

Chen Yanran’s guess was spot on.

Her insight was not ordinary.

“Third Elder, don’t you think this world is changing for the better?

God’s Gate might be far more interesting than I imagined.”
