C102 Part1

Translated by An Edited by An

In the corridor, Tu Jin’s arms were twisted behind him by two male beastmen, one on his left and one on his right, and pressed to the ground. Another one pressed his hands over his calves as he sat on his knees.

Tu Jin’s face had turned red with shame and anger. He could endure the pain in his arms and calf, but he couldn’t bear the humiliation of being pressed down like this. However, he didn’t want the little female he admired to see him being overpowered so badly by others, so he just didn’t utter a word.

On the side, in addition to a few curious onlookers, two attendants were also watching the development of the situation nervously. They had already sent a message to the head attendant and the lobby manager, silently praying in their hearts that the two could rush to the scene to suppress this matter.

But clearly, their prayers were all for naught. Xiang BuChen arrived at the scene before their higher-ups.

Without saying a word, he dashed forth and kicked the male beast sitting on Tu Jin’s calves to the ground. Although the other two let go and blocked his attack in time, they were kicked back by his ‘Shadowless Legs’, slamming into the wall.

After being freed, Tu Jin staggered while trying to stand up. His legs had lost strength; they were sore and numb. Ling Yue rushed forward and supported his body when he stumbled to the ground.

“Tu Jin, what happened?” Frowning, Ling Yue glanced at the people around and discovered that they were all acquaintances ah.

Wasn’t that round-faced female with bare shoulders and half-exposed left breast, Female Warrior Zong Ping? The one who was eliminated in the fourth round? The three male beasts being taught a lesson by Xiang BuChen were, unsurprisingly, her Guardian Beasts.

“I was about to get back to the private room when Female Warrior Zong Ping bumped into me by herself and said that I assaulted her.” Seeing Yang QiQi also come out to the corridor, Tu Jin explained eagerly, “But they didn’t listen at all ah. The three of them just rushed to attack me. QiQi, I really didn’t insult her……”

Yang QiQi gave him a reassuring look before walking towards the ‘victim’, Zong Ping, with a smile on her face. She gently stroked her neck with her fingers which moved all the way down to her shoulders and returned the misplaced strap to its place.

Zong Ping was dazed. Once she regained her senses, her heart burned even more at the sight of Yang QiQi’s stunning face. If even her, a female, was almost mesmerized by this appearance, there was no need to elucidate how much impact it would have on a male. Why? Why didn’t she look like this?

She wanted to push Yang QiQi’s hand off her shoulder but the latter withdrew it before she could do so.

“What? Did Female Warrior QiQi come here to cover up for her male beast?” Zong Ping’s round eyes glistened with the tears she had forcibly squeezed out, making her appear indeed a little pitiful. “Truthfully, you are Han City’s only hope now that I’m eliminated from the competition. So for the sake of the bigger picture, I will pretend that nothing happened.”

How kind and righteous!

Yang QiQi almost wanted to clap loudly. If she attached such importance to the overall situation, she would have just dismissed it from the very beginning and not stimulated her three males to bully the little silly boy of her family ah! This was clearly a deliberate attempt to splash dirty water on her and accuse her of bullying other females based on her achievements in the competition!

Yang QiQi chuckled despite being irked: “Female Warrior Zong Ping seems to know me very well ah. Why did you assume I’m going to help my male even though I have yet to say anything?”

“Oh? That’s Zong Ping’s mistake then. Is Female Warrior QiQi going to handle this matter impartially? You are indeed the idol of all the beastmen of Han City ah. It’s just that insulting a female is a serious crime that is punished by mandatory labor. Let me think… Oh! Article 77 of the «Laws and Decrees» states that depending on the severity of such cases, the culprits will be punished with three months to even three years of hard labor. What is to be done now? You have to compete with the top 10 participants in the sixth round tomorrow. Female Warrior QiQi has only a few males on the team, it won’t affect you much if one is removed, right?!” Zong Ping’s eyes flashed, but her expression was that of someone trying to endure humiliation: “But for the sake of Han City, I think it’s better not to look into this matter.”

At the side, Xiang BuChen had already knocked the three male beasts to the ground. Zong Ping’s other three males were on guard against him with all their might, but Xiang BuChen did not even glance at them. He turned around and returned to stand behind Yang QiQi.

“Ling Yue, did I cause trouble for QiQi?” Tu Jin vaguely realized that this Female Warrior Zong Ping had merely used him to put Yang QiQi in a difficult situation.

As long as she alleged him of assaulting her, Yang QiQi would be blamed for playing favorites if she protected him. However, if she didn’t do that, their already small team’s combat force would be reduced further. He had to admit, this Zong Ping was quite malicious.

If he had known this would happen, he would not have gone out even if he had to hold in his pee to death.

“It’s alright, I believe in QiQi. She will solve it.” Ling Yue patted his shoulder.

“Don’t look into it? How can that be?” Yang QiQi glanced at the two people wearing NuZhu Building’s uniform trying to squeeze through the gradually increasing crowd: “Please make way for the two lords of NuZhu Building to come forward. Thank you.”

“Lady QiQi.” The lobby manager hurried over with the head attendant. Before coming here, he had more or less watched the video recording of the incident in the monitoring room. At this moment, while wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, he discreetly swept an accusatory glance at Female Warrior Zong Ping.

The tricks of this Female Warrior Zong Ping are all captured in the recording.

Even if she had a personal grudge with Lady QiQi, she shouldn’t have used this method during the ranking competition ah. If she succeeds in her scheming, wouldn’t it implicate the ranking of their Han City too? Another point he was upset about was that she chose to do it in their NuZhu Building ah. Wasn’t this comparable to causing trouble for them?

Because of the resentment in his heart, the lobby manager deliberately ignored Zong Ping and greeted Yang QiQi only.

“Lord Manager, as you can see, this matter has become quite a mess. So I have to ask you to notify the inspection team.” Looking at Zong Ping’s smug expression, Yang QiQi smiled. “There must be surveillance devices in here, right? When the inspection team arrives, please give the video recording to them. After all, many a time, oral recounting gets mixed with many subjective opinions and becomes distorted. Facts should be the basis of judgment. Don’t you think so too, Lady Zong Ping?”
