"Ah!!!" Huang Qiuhua, upon hearing Mu Jinyu's response, was first stunned, then furiously livid, letting out a hysterical scream!
"Damn it, you wench, still daring to say you're not infatuated with that scoundrel's charm?!
Still dare to call me ugly?!
I'm clearly just not so obviously beautiful!
Huang Qiuhua couldn't hold back any longer and suddenly made her move, aiming a palm strike straight at Mu Jinyu's chest!
Her palm strike was both fast and fierce, stirring a whistling sound as it cleaved through the air.
If it had been an ordinary person, even a Mingjin Warrior, caught off guard, they would likely have been left half-dead by her blow.
But Mu Jinyu was neither an ordinary person nor a Mingjin Warrior. As Huang Qiuhua suddenly launched her attack at him, his gaze did not waver and his figure did not flinch until her hand, glowing with a faint black light, was about to hit his chest. Only then did he raise his hand.
Mu Jinyu slightly lifted his palm and, striking after but arriving before her, met Huang Qiuhua's palm with a clash!
"Boom!!"
As their palms collided, a roaring sound burst forth like an exploding primer cord.
The blast of energy caused Mu Jinyu's clothes to billow without any wind.
"Ugh!!"
Huang Qiuhua's eyes abruptly changed, her complexion swiftly shifting from red to green, then from green to pale; then she staggered back step by step, forcefully spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
And Mu Jinyu, who had fiercely clashed palms with her, remained unchanged in expression and unmoved in stance, still standing in his original location.
"How is that possible? How could you be a Martial Arts Grandmaster?!"
Huang Qiuhua clutched her chest, her eyes filled with extreme terror, letting out an incredulous shriek; then, without any hesitation, she turned and ran off into the distance.
"Don't go!"
Mu Jinyu was still thinking of capturing her to exchange for money with Mei Yinxue, how could he let Huang Qiuhua, this walking banknote, escape?
With a soft rebuke, he moved to chase after her.
At that moment.
Gu Xiyan and Yu Linglong rushed forward, spreading their arms to block Mu Jinyu, watching him with tense and wary expressions, scolding, "Are you a man? Speaking nicely one moment, suddenly attacking and making someone vomit blood, and now you plan to continue beating her?"
"Nonsense!" Mu Jinyu, being blocked by them, couldn't directly strike them away and could only watch Huang Qiuhua escape wounded, boiling with anger, he cursed, "What do you know? All you do is cause trouble without understanding!"
"You? What did you say?!"
Upon hearing his words, Gu Xiyan's face turned red with anger, clenching her small fists, she also felt like giving Mu Jinyu a punch in the chest!
They had just finished their meal and were about to leave the restaurant when they saw Mu Jinyu standing at the doorway, talking with Huang Qiuhua.
Gu Xiyan had initially wanted to go straight over to see what they were up to.
But she was stopped by Yu Linglong, who said they should wait and see what was happening, to find out if Mu Jinyu was some scumbag who had deceived some girl, and now was being confronted.
If that were the case, then they should avoid contact with this fellow in the future. Then Yu Linglong also advised Gu Xiyan not to get too involved...
Frustrated, Gu Xiyan argued back at her for quite a while.
Then, they turned their heads to see Mu Jinyu and Huang Qiu Hua's discussion go sour. That woman, with her eyes reddened, was about to hit Mu Jinyu, but ended up being sent flying and spitting blood from a slap from him, followed by her sadly leaving.
And this guy, Mu Jinyu, was he actually getting ready to continue chasing after that woman to hit her?!
Upon seeing this, Gu Xiyan immediately jumped out to stand up for justice, to defend that woman and to criticize Mu Jinyu, that deadbeat man.
"What do I know?" Gu Xiyan glared at Mu Jinyu, chickened out a bit, not daring to get into a fight with him, and scolded, "You scumbag, after playing with someone and getting tired of them, you kick them away with one foot. When they come to you, how dare you hit them, to the point of making them spit blood? If I hadn't stopped you, were you planning to beat her to death?"
"What nonsense? What scumbag, what playing with someone until I'm bored and then kicking them out?!" Mu Jinyu, upon hearing Gu Xiyan's words, was truly fuming, "I'm telling you, you stupid woman, what kind of ridiculous things are you thinking about all day long?"
As Mu Jinyu saw Huang Qiu Hua's figure disappearing from his sight, he regretfully retracted his gaze and cursed, "Play with her? With her looks so terrible, not even as good as yours, and I don't even play with you, why would I play with her?"
Listening to Mu Jinyu's crude words, Gu Xiyan was infuriated, but she also realized that he did make some sense, after all, that woman indeed wasn't much to look at.
Could it be... that she had misunderstood him?
"Then…" Gu Xiyan, still incredulous, asked again, "Why would she suddenly hit you? What is your relationship with her?"
Initially, Mu Jinyu wanted to retort, what does it matter to you what relationship I have with her? But considering that Huang Qiu Hua was a dangerous person, perhaps it was better to give that stupid woman a heads-up, in case her overflowing sympathy led to her being taken hostage, which wouldn't be good.
With that thought in mind, Mu Jinyu impatiently said, "She's an assassin, who wanted to kill me. Luckily, I'm much more skilled, so I'm fine. When you all stopped me just now, you really messed up my plan. Remember, if you run into that woman again, stay as far away from her as possible."
Hearing Mu Jinyu's explanation, Gu Xiyan wanted to say he was spouting nonsense, how could there be an assassin after him, and yet he defeated her...
But then she remembered that he was able to crush a Nokia with his bare hands, and just now, he effortlessly defeated Lin Feng, so she began to think that perhaps he was not lying.
With this realization, Gu Xiyan immediately felt regretful and said, "Ah, she's an assassin. What now? Will she continue to come out of nowhere to try to assassinate you?"
Finishing her question, Gu Xiyan looked at Mu Jinyu, not blinking, her voice tinged with nervousness.
Even though she didn't get along well with Mu Jinyu, Gu Xiyan still didn't want him to get hurt.
Mu Jinyu glanced at her and responded, "As long as you are not careless in the future, I won't have any problems. Forget it, you just owe me tens of millions."
"Ah, why?!" Gu Xiyan, upon hearing this, asked with a dumbfounded expression.
Mu Jinyu said, "Because her head is worth at least one billion. You stupid woman caused me to fail in capturing her. Isn't delaying my important work enough reason for compensation?"
Hearing this, Gu Xiyan was shaking with anger. She was still worrying about Mu Jinyu's safety, and yet he turned around and asked her to compensate him.
"Go to hell!"
Gu Xiyan, infuriated, lifted her right foot clad in high heels and stomped towards Mu Jinyu's foot!
How could Mu Jinyu be stomped on by her? He quickly moved his foot back and shifted his body, watching her with nonchalance.
Then.
"Ah!!"
Gu Xiyan missed her stomp, and with the snap of her high heel breaking, she lost her balance and tumbled to the side!
Mu Jinyu, seeing her clumsy state, frowned slightly, but noticing a sharp stone on the path before her, and knowing that if she fell on it, she might disfigure herself, he couldn't bear it and promptly reached out to help her.
"Hey, you stupid woman, are you okay?"
Mu Jinyu helped Gu Xiyan and asked.
"Hiss!" Gu Xiyan's face paled, her expression showing pain as she sharply inhaled, "I... I think I've twisted my ankle!"
