Chapter 217: The Good-for-Nothing Prince (1)
In the imperial capital of Black Tortoise Country.
Gu Ruoyun was standing on the bustling streets with her hands behind her head. She watched the raucous main street with slightly narrowed eyes, seemingly pondering something inwardly.
“Now that I’ve already reached Black Tortoise Country, I wonder how I’m going to get into Heaven City. Hmm, nevermind. It’ll all work out somehow; where there’s a will, there’s a way.”
As she was deep in thought, she suddenly caught sight of a fat man charging towards her. That fatty was running forwards while turning his head back to look behind him; he didn’t see Gu Ruoyun in front of him at all. If Gu Ruoyun had noticed him earlier, she might have been able to dodge in time. However, by the time she had recovered her senses, that fatty was already right in front of her…
Seeing that he was about to collide with her, Gu Ruoyun quickly gathered her strength. Thus, when the fatty was just inches in front of her, with a whoosh, that 250kg body drew an arc in the sky as he flew into the air… and landed heavily.
“Bang!”
A heavy weight landed on the ground and an anguished wail rang out: “Who? Who was it who tried to sneak attack this prince? Are you freaking tired of living? Aiyah, this prince’s waist, it’s probably broken!”
However, very quickly, the fatty who used ‘this prince’ to refer to himself became silent.
That was because a group of richly dressed young men had just run up to him, panting for breath. They surrounded the fatty and exchanged words in malicious tones.
“Pang Ran, keep running if you have the ability to! You don’t have any skills at all, but you’re pretty good at running away!”
“You’ve tired me out with all this chasing, let’s see where you can run to next!”
“You stupid fatty, I really don’t know how you’ve managed to eat so much. I feel disgusted just looking at your entire body full of fat, you look so greasy too!”
Pang Ran smiled sheepishly, and the flesh on his chubby face jiggled along with his smile.
“Dear brothers and sisters, can you take it easy on me please? Just go a little easier on me. I’ve already lost 20kg from all your beatings; just let me off, please.”
“Let you off? Hehe, I happen to be in a bad mood today. It wasn’t easy to finally catch you like this so I can vent out some anger. I’d have to be sick in the head to let you off! All of you, beat him up now! Beat him hard! As long as you don’t beat him to death, it’s fine!”
The young man, who appeared to be their leader, sneered before raising his leg, intending to stomp him hard. It scared Pang Ran so much that he hurriedly shielded his eyes with his hand, his body trembling uncontrollably.
However, when the pain that he had been expected never came, Pang Ran slowly peeked through the gaps in his fingers and carefully looked at his surroundings. He then saw that the foot that had been about to land on him had been stopped by a slender arm.
His gaze moved upwards slowly, and a delicately pretty face with a calm expression appeared in his sights.
The young girl held onto the young man’s foot tightly, an unperturbed look in her eyes, as if she wasn’t bothered by the young man’s angry and vicious visage at all.
At this moment, Pang Ran was so touched that tears ran down his cheeks. He thought that he was going to suffer a beating this time, he hadn’t thought that he would be saved. She immediately took the place of a goddess in his heart; she had clearly been sent by heaven to save him.
“You damn girl, are you trying to stick your nose into matters that aren’t yours?”
The young man had a dark and sinister look on his face as he gazed coldly at Gu Ruoyun.
“Excuse me, I accidentally sent him flying just now, so I should save him once in return.”
In normal cases, Gu Ruoyun wouldn’t have bothered with silly nonsense like this.
However, just now, if she hadn’t sent him flying, he wouldn’t have gotten caught by these people, so this was something that she owed him.
“Hmph!”
The young man harrumphed: “Then you’re seeking your own death!”
