I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

Hearing the slightly grating voice, the two of them turned in unison towards the direction from which it came. A young man, probably in his twenties or thirties, with a skeletal face, stood arrogantly in front of Gu Qiuxi. He wore a flirtatious expression, seemingly extending an invitation: "Beautiful lady, name your price? I guarantee you'll never forget it."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qiuxi immediately revealed a frosty expression, making no attempt to hide her disgust: "Get out!" She rejected this repulsive skull-faced man without any mercy.

However, even after such a harsh rejection, the skull-faced man maintained his ugly smile and continued to persuade her, "My beauty, don't be like this! I promise I won't let you suffer any losses."

Before he finished speaking, he tried to put his arm around Gu Qiuxi's fair shoulders, but his action only elicited a fist the size of a small sandbag in response.

"Bang!!!" The skull-faced figure was shot away as if hit by a missile, flying away from the scene like a bullet. His figure drew an arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground some distance away.

This scene left the people around them dumbfounded, while Gu Qiuxi coldly looked at the skull face that had fallen and was covered in dust, as if everything that had just happened was just a piece of cake.

Xu Xingyu couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the scene before her. As the inheritor of the Golden Dragon King, Gu Qiuxi's power was truly astonishing.

Based on his observation, Gu Qiuxi seemed to have easily shattered over 90% of the skull's bones with that attack. Furthermore, Gu Qiuxi appeared to have incorporated a trace of internal energy, and judging from the location of that internal energy's transmission, the skull would forever lose something very important.

Whether it's Gu Qiuxi's own immense strength or her control over her own power, Xu Xingyu is certain that Gu Qiuxi's actual combat strength is comparable to that of a Title Douluo in the Douluo Continent, and she is not without the ability to fight even a Super Douluo.

If one were to criticize Gu Qiuxi, others might think she overreacted and went too far, but Xu Xingyu wouldn't say that. Based on his observations of the power of spirit and destiny, he could say without hesitation that this skull-faced man was someone who deserved to die.

Even if Gu Qiuxi hadn't gone that far, Xu Xingyu would have found an opportunity to completely eliminate this person afterward.

It wasn't just because this skull-faced man dared to flirt with Gu Qiuxi, but also because, according to his detection, this young man had already slept with countless women and destroyed the happy lives of countless women.

Without a doubt, he was a born scumbag, or rather, a scumbag spoiled by some high-ranking person. Such a person cannot go through a normal trial process, so killing him here can be considered as giving some peace to the women who were harmed because of him.

Just then, ten black figures rushed towards the skull-faced figure, shouting, "Young Master!!!"

As expected, this was a man in black, the same bodyguard or something similar to the skull-faced guy who had been knocked away by Gu Qiuxi earlier. Some of them immediately checked the skull-faced guy's injuries, while others kept a close watch on Gu Qiuxi, the one who had caused the incident.

However, Gu Qiuxi, with a bored expression, turned to Xu Xingyu and said to the men in black who were eyeing her with predatory intent, "Let's go back. That just now ruined my shopping mood. Anyway, since Hydraulic is leaving tomorrow, let's just go back and get some rest."

Xu Xingyu and Ya Lin'er both nodded indifferently. To be honest, neither of them was interested in shopping. If they weren't going out to buy supplies, they wouldn't want to waste their time and would instead spend the rest of the time cultivating.

The only pity is that a suitable metal magic weapon for Yalin'er still couldn't be found. If Xu Xingyu's memory is correct, Yalin'er's weapon in the future seems to be a giant pair of scissors. Like a certain assassin, this pair of scissors can be split in the middle and used as two swords.

In the original work, Yalin'er, also known as Ajin, also has a huge pair of scissors as a weapon. The name is quite frightening. It seems to be something like Widow Maker or Eunuch Maker. Anyway, it is a weapon that is extremely unfriendly to men.

It seems I'll have to be more careful around Yalin'er in the future. Although I don't know if the big scissors she'll use in the future are a modified version of the original, they're definitely inspired by it.

But just as the three were about to return to the inn, a sinister voice rang out on the street: "Who gave you permission to leave! You beat up our young master and just walk away like that? Who gave you that right?!"

The speaker was one of the ten men in black, seemingly wanting to avenge his young master. However, to Xu Xingyu and the others' surprise, the skull-faced man who had been knocked away earlier hadn't fainted. Instead, he was being supported by the men in black and, with a furious expression, pointed at Xu Xingyu and the others, shouting, "Bastards!!! Old Cao, capture those three! Kill the men, and I'll sell the women to a brothel for everyone to ride!!!"

After saying that, apart from the Yi Wood element black-clad man who was treating the skull-faced man, the other black-clad men had somehow surrounded Xu Xingyu and the other two and released their Yin-Yang Crowns, ready to capture them at any moment.

Xu Xingyu remained completely calm in the face of the situation. Instead, she began to carefully observe the strength of these men in black. Overall, considering their age, their strength was quite good, with their overall strength ranging from five to seven crowns. Moreover, each of the ten men in black possessed one of the five elements of Yin and Yang (indicating that five of them were effeminate).

The moment they surrounded Xu Xingyu and her two companions, the ten men in black used their Yin-Yang and Five Elements attributes to form a Five Elements Barrier, trapping the three and preventing them from escaping.

It seems that this skull-faced person is also a very important person in the Western Jin Empire, otherwise he wouldn't have such high-quality bodyguards, and might even be related to that merchant guild called "Foolish Rich".

But so what? Neither Xu Xingyu, Gu Qiuxi, nor Ya Lin'er are troublemakers, but that doesn't mean they're unafraid of trouble. If anyone dares to offend them, or even tries to insult them or take their lives, they will retaliate without hesitation with overwhelming force!

Xu Xingyu looked at the two women beside her. They had already taken out their weapons and nodded to Xu Xingyu, indicating that they were ready to teach these arrogant people a lesson at any time.

Seeing this, Xu Xingyu released her Yin-Yang Crown and said slowly, "Alright, let's stretch our shins a little, consider it a warm-up before leaving the Western Jin Empire."
