Chapter 4: Slaughtering the Gang, Seeking Revenge for Xuan’er (Part 1)

The next day, Xuan’er woke up early.

She frequently looked towards the door of the wooden house, her face filled with unease. Standing on the ground, she kept fidgeting with her little feet.

“Brother, should we leave?” She approached Ning Wuxie and tugged at his sleeve, looking up at him with her big eyes full of worry.

Although she wanted to avenge her grandfather, as a child, she was more afraid.

Those gangsters had caused her immense psychological pressure and made her feel scared.

She didn’t know if Ning Wuxie could defeat those bad people. All she knew was that if Ning Wuxie lost, he would leave her just like her grandfather did.

She couldn’t bear it.

Ning Wuxie smiled and picked up Xuan’er, holding her on his lap.

“Don’t worry, Xuan’er. Brother won’t get into trouble.”

“As long as anyone dares to harm you, I will make them pay!”

Afterward, he fetched water and washed Xuan’er’s hair and face. He even brushed her teeth, treating her like a little princess.

Xuan’er obediently let Ning Wuxie take care of her like a wooden doll. Her pair of black shiny eyes looked at Ning Wuxie as if he were the only thing in this world.

She had experienced wandering around without enough food or warm clothes and had never enjoyed the care and love that other children should have received.

But now, Ning Wuxie gave it to her.

Rubbing Xuan’er’s cute little face affectionately, Ning Wuxie was absolutely certain that this was Jiang Ningxuan—the Demon Empress who came from another world!

It was too similar. No matter how you looked at it!

Looking at Xuan’er staring blankly at him with her big eyes, Ning Wuxie couldn’t help but feel heartache.

Had the iron-blooded and ruthless Demon Empress never experienced this kind of warmth before?

After drying Xuan’er’s hair, Ning Wuxie put her on the bed. Just as he was about to leave, footsteps outside the door became chaotic, sounding like dozens of people surrounding this small house.

“Xuan’er, stay inside the room. Brother will be back soon.”

Ning Wuxie touched Xuan’er’s head and turned around, picking up a long cloth from the table and pushing open the wooden door.

About fifty meters away on the dilapidated path in front of the door, there were densely packed people—rough-looking men armed with clubs.

Seeing Ning Wuxie appear, they slowly approached, forming a circle.

“Where is your boss?”

Ning Wuxie stepped down from the steps and slowly untied the cloth wrapped around his arm.

A cold light flashed, and the gangsters who surrounded him stopped in their tracks.

Did he really want to fight against dozens of people alone?! The gangsters also took out their own weapons, eagerly preparing themselves.

The crowd made way for a burly figure with a tiger-like back and bear-like waist. His face was marked with tattoos—a rough man who had twisted his arm by Ning Wuxie last night followed behind him.

The man’s expression turned cold as he looked at Ning Wuxie while the fat boss wore an expression full of resentment.

“Young man, you did well yesterday.”

“You directly disabled my brother’s arms. It seems that you’re also a cultivator?”

Ning Wuxie waved his hand dismissively. “I dare not claim that. I only know half a move or so.”

Hearing these words, he seemed to confirm what he was thinking, and his expression instantly became arrogant.

“Haha! Then don’t blame me for being too ruthless later!”

“Young man, you have some skill, but unfortunately, you’ve offended the wrong person! This is the consequence of being too arrogant!”

“Now kneel down and kowtow to me. I’ll only break both your arms and spare your life!”

Ning Wuxie lowered his head as if he hadn’t heard anything.

“I have a question.” He said calmly, his voice not loud but audible to everyone.

“What’s your problem?”

The enemy was annoyed by Ning Wuxie’s attitude.

“You guys, who killed an old man in this slum a few days ago because he asked for water?”

As soon as these words came out, the gangsters of the Black Tiger Gang were all stunned.
