Reborn: Instead of Chasing the School Beauty, I Chased Her Mother

Chapter 278 120 Complete compromise out of being touched, Jiang Xian's passion

Ever since he developed an eight-pack with Aunt Fang's training.

Li Zhiyan felt his physical strength had further increased, especially after the system issued a new task.

In no time at all, he had completed it with a bit of effort at Aunt Fang's.

Li Zhiyan quietly watched the gangsters across the street.

Thinking about the task worth one hundred thousand yuan.

Once this task was done, his cash on hand would reach 760,000 yuan. He had emptied his savings to buy the house, but soon, he would be a millionaire again.

...

After a brief discussion, a few of the gangsters headed over to Jiang Xian's clothing store.

All three had fruit knives out, looking fairly menacing.

In the clothing store, where Jiang Xian had just started cooking, she felt a sense of loss.

She was now homeless and all alone, and even this usually bustling commercial street was deserted.

In such a scene, Jiang Xian couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of desolation.

Luckily, tonight, Li Zhiyan would keep her company for dinner.

Just as she turned on the stove, the sound of footsteps made Jiang Xian stop her cooking.

Could it be someone wanting to buy clothes? If so, she could earn some money again.

But as she stepped out, she saw several oddly dressed thugs walking in.

"Buying clothes for your girlfriend?"

Though she greeted them that way, a sense of panic subconsciously took hold in her heart.

Grabbing a handbag from the rack nearby, she was ready to fight desperately if anything happened.

In her bag, there was also a fruit knife.

Huang Mao was visibly stunned when he saw Jiang Xian.

He hadn't expected the owner of this store to be so beautiful.

Even though she seemed to be in her 40s, in terms of both figure and looks she was exceptional, with skin so fair that even young girls couldn't compare.

He had never seen such a fair-skinned woman.

For a moment, he was so taken aback that he almost wanted to change his approach and get to know Jiang Xian first.

But then he thought of the poverty in his pocket and decided to stick to his professional ethics.

Intimidating her was the priority under such circumstances.

"Don't bother opening your store anymore, beautiful,"

"After the National Day holidays,"

"if I see you still doing business here and something unpleasant happens, you'll be responsible for the consequences,"

"unless you date me, let me take you out for some fun regularly."

"I guarantee no one on this street will dare to bother you."

Jiang Xian's eyes were filled with fear as the thug spoke—after all, she was just a woman.

"Get out of my store now."

At this moment, Huang Mao was still fantasizing about good fortune, thinking of getting fresh with Jiang Xian.

However, Li Zhiyan, who paid utmost attention and care to such matters, would never allow them a chance to succeed.

He stepped forward and positioned himself in front of Jiang Xian.

"Get lost!"

That was Li Zhiyan's favorite phrase when dealing with thugs.

Because he was absolutely confident he could take on five at a time.

And Li Zhiyan felt the "one-against-five" skill the system rewarded him had a bug. As long as he kept his position, he could take on many people by breaking it down into many instances of one-against-five.

Now, he could truly be considered a real martial arts master.

The moment Li Zhiyan's figure appeared before her, Jiang Xian felt an unprecedented sense of security.

But her concern quickly overwhelmed her—there were three men in front of her, all wielding fruit knives. If Xiao Yan started fighting them, could something go wrong?

Now, Jiang Xian would rather be the one in trouble than see Li Zhiyan take any risks.

As Li Zhiyan approached, Huang Mao got irritated. He stepped forward and threw a punch at Li Zhiyan.

Without any hesitation, Li Zhiyan countered with a punch to his fist.

A painful sensation overtook Huang Mao as he was knocked back repeatedly, dropping his fruit knife on the ground.

The other two thugs hurriedly advanced, intending to jump Li Zhiyan. The youngster looked like a tough cookie.

But even a mighty dragon can't fight a pack of wolves, they reckoned. Together, they would surely overpower him.

What they didn't realize, though, was that Li Zhiyan was not just a mighty dragon.

He was the legendary dragon from the school, the Dragon Teen.

In the blink of an eye, the two thugs wielding fruit knives were beaten up by Li Zhiyan, howling as they crawled out of the clothing store.

Li Zhiyan knew these small-time hooligans were no good and hadn't seen much of the world, only capable of bullying the common folk. They wouldn't dare come back.

But even if they did, it wouldn't matter, since the system would alert him.

Ever since the system provided explicit notifications regarding the safety of those he cared for,

Li Zhiyan never worried again.

After the three thugs had run off, Li Zhiyan picked up all three fruit knives and threw them in the trash.

He then crossed the street to intimidate the store owner.

The owner had never encountered such a tough person and was scared out of his wits. Those three had been wielding knives yet couldn't defeat him.

This kid must be professionally trained in martial arts.

When Li Zhiyan returned to Jiang Xian's clothing store,

She hurried over and began checking him for injuries, clutching Li Zhiyan's hand.

"Xiao Yan,"

"Are you all right?"

Jiang Xian's heart was racing, overwhelmed by the terrifying ordeal they just endured. The thought that if Xiao Yan were harmed, she didn't know how she would go on living.
