Chapter 96: The Handsome Trap
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The girls checked into Yiyi Parlor while Li Mu stayed outside and watched over the carriage.
The carriage had been stolen many times throughout the journey,
The crystal windows on the carriage alone could cost the total income of an ordinary family over ten years.
Not to mention the decorations embedded on the carriage, such as the gems.
Once, a few thieves stole everything on the carriage in the blink of an eye.
The girls were upset for a few days.
For this journey, Li Mu had positioned himself as “old grandfather”.
This meant that he would only help the girls if there were in any real danger.
For everything else, whether they were good or bad, the girls needed to experience it themselves.
As such, Li Mu just watched the thieves steal and rob things.
If the girls’ lives were not in danger, Li Mu didn’t bother to intervene.
The girls needed to learn that the carriage and its belongings were just worldly possessions that come and go.
What Li Mu didn’t know was that someone had been secretly watching the three girls, looking for an opportunity to take them away.
In the parlor, the three girls had chosen two bedroom suites, then they headed downstairs and ordered something to eat in the lobby.
“Tingting, I just asked and found out that the special dish of this place is the Wind and Snow Beef. It sounds very delicious.”
Zhou Hua showed full happiness on her face whenever she talked about food.
The biggest reward of this journey was the opportunity to eat all the delicious food along the way.
“This place is called the Snow City. In this restaurant, they have the Wind and Snow Beef. But I don’t the wind and snow.”
Chu Qing looked out the window.
There was a lake that rippled while reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.
The landscape was very attractive, but there was no wind nor snow.
The name “Snow City” didn’t match with the city at all.
And now there was a dish called Wind and Snow Beef.
It didn’t match up at all.
“Girl, you have no idea. Wind and Snow here means a romantic atmosphere. It doesn’t necessarily indicate real wind and snow. If you want to find something that is connected with wind and snow here, we only have Clan Wind and Clan Snow.”
At the table near the girls, a strong man with a beard interrupted the girls’ conversation.
Ever since the girls had appeared at the restaurant, people on the surrounding tables had been staring at them.
Beautiful girls!
So rarely seen in this area!
And there were three of them.
Who didn’t like good things?
Even the girls knew that they should enjoy the nice food and beautiful landscapes.
The people around them definitely wouldn’t waste the chance of enjoying their beauty.
“What you said is just nonsense! Girls, let me tell you what wind and snow actually mean…” Two middle-aged men at another table stood up and said with a frivolous tone.
“Who wants to listen to your meaningless explanation? Girls, I bet you’re still confused. Come on, let me teach you to enjoy the real wind and snow. I can assure you that you’ll be so delighted you don’t even want to live without it,” another middle-aged man said and laughed in a nasty voice.
Zhou Hua glared at him and said angrily, “Go away, you ass!”
“Little pussy, you’ve got it all wrong. I was explaining it for you. And you cursed me?”
The middle-aged man laughed.
“A girl of the Spirit Manipulation Realm. Not only does she have big breasts, but also a big temper,” he thought to himself.
He liked it.
“You want to die?” Zhou Hua asked menacingly.
The most disgusting type of people they had met along the journey were hooligans like this.
“Chick, don’t have such a big temper! You’re going to offend someone. Especially a girl of the Spirit Manipulation Realm like you, tsk, you might be easily taken by men and taken advantage of.”
The middle-aged man laughed loudly as he said that.
Tingting, who had been sitting at the table, suddenly furrowed her eyebrows. “Disgusting!”
Get laid?
Go to hell!
Bang!
She slammed the table and threw her chopsticks at the middle-aged man.
Bang!
Before the middle-aged man could react, he was knocked out by the chopsticks.
He crawled up from the ground, spit out blood, and glared at the girls.
“You girls just wait!”
Leaving the words behind, he turned around and walked away.
“I’m not in the mood for food!” Tingting stood up and went upstairs.
What a mess.
Tingting had lost her appetite.
“I’ll go and be with Tingting!” Chu Qing followed her.
In a penthouse across the lake.
The middle-aged man covered his chest and knocked on the door of a room.
The person sat inside the room was Feng Xuan.
“Found anything?” Feng Xuan looked at the middle-aged man.
A middle-stage warrior of the Saint-Level had been beaten by a pair of chopsticks.
He wasn’t expecting such a surprising power.
It was evident how subtle the girl’s control of power was.
“No!”
Feng Xuan pinched his beard. “Looks like we have to ask someone else.”
Meanwhile, back in Yiyi Parlor.
Zhou Hua finished eating the dished on a table.
She patted her full belly and was about to go upstairs.
A group of constable-like people led by a middle-aged man entered the lobby.
“That’s her!”
The middle-aged man pointed at Zhou Hua and said so with his hand over his chest.
“She and two other bitches beat me up!”
“What did you say?” Zhou Hua frowned and said.
“Sorry to disturb you, lady. I’m Liu Zongfan, sheriff of Snow City. I received a report from this gentleman, saying that there were warriors in Yiyi Parlor fighting with each other. In order to keep Snow City a peaceful and safe place, the City Lord wants to punish all brawlers.”
The head constable bowed to Zhou Hua, looking quite polite.
He first stated who he was and then explained the situation.
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Hua.
According to the rules of warriors, after one side reported his name and origin, the other one would do the same.
They did this for courtesy, but also to check whether the other side was an acquaintance, or find out the background of the other side.
“What kind of rule is this? How come you didn’t mention that it was he who harassed us first?” Zhou Hua said angrily.
Liu Zongfan was embarrassed.
Bullshit!
“Of course I knew that he deliberately molested you girls,” he thought.
But the purpose of harassing the girls was to find out their identities and get closer to them.
Now it should be the girl’s turn to introduce herself!
“Don’t be angry, lady! There is a punishment for harassing women in our city. We have just inquired about this matter. He didn’t any cause substantial harm to you. So…”
“Can you guys be reasonable? Because of his words, Sister Tingting and Xiaoqing didn’t even eat their food,” Zhou Hua said angrily, with hands on her hips.
Liu Zongfan slapped his head.
How did he meet a woman who was so unreasonable and didn’t follow the usual rules?
“You beat me up and you still want to reason with me?” the middle-aged man on the side said angrily. “Do you even know how the law works?”
“Yes, I’m not reasonable! What can you do with me?”
…
In the penthouse across the lake.
The middle-aged man and Sheriff Liu Zongfan stood in front of Feng Xuan.
“Fourth Master, that girl must be from a small, rural place. She doesn’t seem to know the rules at all. I couldn’t reason with her,” said the middle-aged man covered the red handprint on his face.
Halfway through the argument, he was slapped on his face.
If Liu Zongfan hadn’t stopped him, he would have killed the girl.
“From a small place? Then what about their high-level cultivation? If they’re really so uncultured, it only means that the history of their clan is not profound enough.”
Feng Xuan shook his head.
“Fourth Master, I think we should just rob them! How dare they make a scene in our Snow City!”
“We haven’t figured out which clan is supporting them. Have you thought about the consequences if we made a move?” Feng Xuan rubbed his aching forehead.
“Fourth Master, then there is only one last thing to do… the handsome trap. We can use a good-looking guy to find out who they are.”
The next day.
Chu Qing took Tingting and Zhou Hua to rent a boat to sail on the lake.
Zhou Hua swallowed her drool. “So beautiful! Tingting, look at that! There are fishes. If we catch one and prepare a braised fish, it will be even more beautiful.”
“Tingting, please don’t blame Zhou Hua. She lost her parents when she was young and grew up with A Mu. She grew up without having anything delicious to eat. Even if she had something to eat, she would leave it to first feed her brother. So, she has an obsession with food.”
“I’m used to it!”
Tingting laughed.
“Look, there’s a boat with a handsome man on it!”
Zhou Hua pointed to a young man in a boat not far away from them.
Tingting and Chu Qing turned around to look.
What a handsome man!
They took a quick look, but Tingting and Chu Qing then turned their gaze away.
No matter how handsome that man was, he wasn’t good looking as Brother Fei.

Chu Qing was lost in thought.
“A Hua, be more reserved. Your saliva is flowing into the lake,” Tingting reminded her.
