The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Fulfilling Your Desires

Li Jingming had been talking to himself the whole time, completely unaware of Shen Yixue’s troubled expression. It wasn’t until he received no response from Shen Yixue that he finally stopped.

“Yixue, what’s wrong?” Li Jingming looked at Shen Yixue with a trace of confusion on his face, “Aren’t you happy? Or is it that, you actually feel towards me—”

At this point, a flicker of displeasure crossed his mind.

Could it be that it had always been unrequited love on his part? Otherwise, why did Shen Yixue look so unhappy right now?

“No, I like you.”

After speaking, Shen Yixue’s face uncontrollably turned red, and she continued, “It’s just that this all came so suddenly, I’m a bit slow to react. And what if I don’t win first place in the national calligraphy competition? What will I do then?”

“Why would that happen?” Li Jingming was full of confidence, “Yixue, I believe in you. You are so talented in painting, nobody can match you. You are definitely going to get first place in the calligraphy competition.”

As he said this, he laughed, a bit embarrassed, and then continued, “Actually, I wanted to tell you this much earlier. But I was worried it would pressure you and affect your performance negatively. That’s why I’ve been holding back until now.”

Shen Yixue nodded her head, not saying anything more.

However, unseen by Li Jingming, a determined light flashed through the depths of Shen Yixue’s eyes.

At this moment, she had made a resolute decision that she had to win first place in this competition no matter what. She was intent on winning, by any means necessary.

After a bumpy journey, the group finally stopped in a small town in X city for rest and reorganization.

In the evening, bored in her room, Zhong Niangyao left the hotel to wander around outside.

Although it was a small town, it was quite lively at night. Zhong Niangyao strolled around, stopping to look at interesting things she encountered.

As an unprecedentedly beautiful person appeared in a secluded and obscure town, naturally, she attracted a lot of attention. Among that attention, there were some less well-intentioned gazes as well.

Zhong Niangyao’s lips curved into an amused smile as she slowly walked towards a more secluded area. Only when she reached a dead-end alley did she turn around to walk back.

But she hadn’t gone far before a few hooligans blocked her path.

“Little sister, you seem so bored!” One of the hooligans, with a sleazy smile, stepped forward and spoke, “Why not have some fun with us brothers?”

“Oh, are you trying to stop me?” Zhong Niangyao raised an eyebrow, her face showing not a trace of panic, “That’s fine, I’m bored anyway. Let’s have a good time with you all!”

Surprised by Zhong Niangyao’s calm demeanor, the hooligans were momentarily stunned. Usually, the women they encountered would scream and try to escape in such situations.

However, they soon burst into laughter, their gazes on Zhong Niangyao turning even more lecherous.

Regardless of what this woman was planning, they didn’t care. They were many, and why would they be afraid of a frail-looking young woman?

“Today really is our lucky day,” a hooligan spoke lewdly, “Little sister, since you want to have a good time with us, we’ll definitely fulfill your wish.”

“Ha ha, brothers today truly hit the jackpot, meeting such a top-tier beauty from the Human World,” another hooligan joined in, “This life is truly worthwhile!”

With that, the other hooligans laughed heartily.

Zhong Niangyao’s expression remained unchanged as she faced the gang. Suddenly she inquired, “How many times have you done this kind of thing?”

This unexpected question made the hooligans laugh even harder.

“Little sister, to think you’re already jealous before we’ve even started!” one slick-tongued hooligan said, “Don’t worry, no matter how many women we’ve had before, you’re the one we love most!”

“Yes! Yes! After all, it’s not often we see a stunning beauty like you from the Human World,” another said.

“It seems like you’ve done quite a few misdeeds then.”

Zhong Niangyao nodded, then a mysterious smile curled her lips as she said, “But before doing bad things, don’t you guys ask around first? Are you not afraid of messing with the wrong person?”

“Little sister, is this your way of telling us that you’re someone we can’t afford to offend?” one of the hooligans replied nonchalantly, “You’re just a foreigner. Even if you were someone important, in this place, you’d have to coil even if you were a dragon, and lie down even if you were a tiger.”

Another hooligan rubbed his chin and laughed more lewdly, “To die beneath a peony flower is to be as romantically involved as a ghost. Little sister, with your peerless beauty, if we actually get to die at your hand, it would be an honor, don’t you think?”

The rest of the hooligans agreed enthusiastically.

“If you all wish to die at my hand, then, of course, I’ll fulfill that wish for you!”

Zhong Niangyao’s smile brightened, “While your request is a bit strange, I’m a good person and definitely won’t refuse you.”

While speaking, a cold wind swept through. The summer heat was supposed to be scorching, yet it brought an odd chill.

The hooligans shivered, and when they looked at Zhong Niangyao again, their eyes had lost their previous arrogance, replaced with a tinge of wariness.

“Since you boys want to have some fun, then let’s have a real good time today!”

Zhong Niangyao’s smile was tinged with a bone-chilling coldness. She blinked her eyes, then pulled out a piece of talisman paper.

The talisman paper ignited without fire, and as it reached the hooligans, it suddenly exploded.

From the moment the talisman paper appeared, the hooligans already felt an unprecedented threat. They wanted to leave, but found their feet nailed to the spot, completely unable to move.

By the time the talisman paper exploded in front of them, they were already full of regret.

This woman was just too sinister; they should have realized it sooner. After encountering such a situation, how could any woman remain so composed? Indeed, this time they had truly kicked an iron plate.
