Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

As for Feng Qing'er, she was still working as a waiter in a depressed mood.

There was no other way. After returning home last night, under the guidance of Xiao Yixian and Xiao Yan, she successfully blew up the kitchen three times. Naturally, it was okay at home, but Feng Qing'er couldn't mess around in the kitchen of the restaurant.

Judging from this, Feng Qing'er might not be able to learn how to cook by the end of this month.

The little doctor in front of the counter thought so with a slight twitch of her mouth.

Suddenly, a Dou Ling-level man rushed in abruptly, and slammed his thick arm heavily on the counter, slightly cracking the wooden counter made by Xiao Yan, which was not very delicate to begin with. The children who were either cleaning tables or serving dishes in the store were startled and looked at the fat man standing in front of the counter with fear.

Looking at the cracks spreading on the counter under the sturdy arms, the little medical fairy brows trembled slightly, slowly raised her head, looked at the man with a face full of flesh in front of her with a somewhat unfriendly look, then narrowed her eyes and forced a formal smile.

"Excuse me, sir, what can I do for you?"

The first rule of opening a store is to avoid conflicts with customers as much as possible before they actually occur.

Xiao Yixian, who once ran a herbal medicine store with Boss Yao, understands this point very well. Other things are another matter, but at least when doing business, try not to use violence if things can be solved with words. If you encounter trouble and directly use force to solve it without considering anything else, then you shouldn't do business.

The man standing in front of the counter heard Xiao Yixian's question, turned his head slightly and glanced at the customers in the store, who were neither too many nor too few. The fat on his face trembled, and he glanced at Xiao Yixian with an unfriendly look.

"Who allowed you to open a store here?"

"."

The corners of Xiao Yixiang's eyes, which were narrowed into slits, twitched slightly, and she immediately understood the man's intention.

Simply put, they are here to cause trouble.

Xiao Yixian had seen many people like this before when she and Boss Yao were running Wanyaozhai in Qingshan Town. However, herbal medicine stores were in high demand in places where mercenaries gathered. Even if someone caused trouble, Boss Yao didn't need to say anything, as the mercenaries would have already taught the troublemaker a lesson.

Are you kidding! To put it bluntly, these mercenaries rely on these herbal medicine stores to survive. They may need them someday, so if they want to find trouble, don't go to the herbal medicine stores.

Later, as Little Medical Fairy slowly built up her reputation in Qingshan Town, no one dared to cause trouble in Wanyaozhai.

However, this was the Black Horn Region, and restaurants were obviously not a necessity. Both Xiao Yan and Little Medical Fairy had anticipated that someone would come to cause trouble.

Thinking of this, Little Medical Fairy breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I didn’t come yesterday. I was so busy yesterday that I wouldn’t have had the time to deal with such trivial matters.

"Sir, I don't quite understand what you mean." The Little Medical Fairy still smiled and said softly to the fat man in front of her with an impeccable and kind attitude: "We rented this shop from the auction house, and the auction house didn't have any special regulations. I don't think we can't open a shop here."

"Go away! The auction house is an auction house, and it has something to do with me!"

The fat man waved his hands repeatedly, and the flesh on his face trembled slightly.

"I'm in charge of this street! Why don't you go and ask around? Who on this street doesn't know me, Uncle Wu Hao? You opened a store here without my consent. What do you think of me?!"

"."

Listening to the arrogant words of the fat man, Xiao Yixiang still kept a smile on her face, but she felt helpless in her heart.

Ah. This is the kind of person that is everywhere.

You have hands and feet but you don't work. You live by stealing other people's things all day long. Why don't you just die?

Xiao Yixiang kept complaining in her heart that she had taken things from the tomb and did not think of herself as a decent person.

But robbery is another matter.

Of course, if the man in front of her were to rob someone who was stronger than herself, Xiao Yixiang would still admire his courage.

However, this kind of people will only target those who are weaker than themselves, and they are pure bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong.

Most of the people who practice the law of the jungle that Xiao Yan hates are probably this kind of people.

"Ha." Xiao Yixian sighed deeply, narrowing her eyes. "So what do you mean?"

"I saw yesterday that you are making quite a lot of money here." The fat man said with a sinister smile, "Give me half of your daily turnover as protection fee, and I will protect you from now on. Otherwise, you will have a lot of trouble in the future."

Protection fee. You are talking to me about protection fee in Black Horn?

Half of the daily turnover, you're really asking for it. With this money, why don't I go to the auction house to hire a regular guard?

And aren't you the one who's looking for trouble? You're talking as if you can still show up if you're really in trouble.

The Little Medical Fairy slowly raised her hand and stretched it towards the door with a smile.

"My dear customer, I'm sorry that we can't meet your needs. Please find another job. There are so many shops on this street, there will always be someone willing to cooperate with you."

As the saying goes, everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme. The little medical fairy's words were indeed very respectful, but considering what the fat man did, these remarks sounded more like sarcasm.

The fat man was not stupid either. The flesh on his face was shaking wildly and there was a vicious look in his eyes. When he was about to say something harsh, Xiao Yan, who heard the noise, came out from the kitchen, came to the counter and asked in a serious voice.

"Excuse me, sir, what can I do for you?"

"He's here to collect protection money."

Before the fat man could speak, the little medical fairy beside him explained concisely.

"Protection money?" Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at the fat man. "I'm sorry, sir, I haven't heard of paying protection money. Who asked you to collect it?"

"It's me! Any objection?"

The fat man looked down upon Xiao Yan with arrogance. He did not even take Xiao Yixian, an eight-star Grand Master, seriously, let alone Xiao Yan, a three-star Grand Master.

When Xiao Yan heard the fat man's words, he did not feel angry. He had anticipated meeting such a person before opening the store.

But if it really happens, it's really frustrating.

Xiao Yan pressed his neck helplessly.

It's useless to reason with this kind of person.

Thinking of similar situations he had encountered in the past, Xiao Yan made this judgment in his mind, but still spoke tentatively.

"I'm really sorry. If you're here to eat, we welcome you. But we really can't give you protection money. We have no reason to pay."

"No reason?" The fat man's eyes were stern, and he punched Xiao Yan without warning, "I'm here to tell you what the reason is!!!"

Xiao Yan was prepared for the fat man's sudden attack. When he was about to take action, a bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from behind him and hit the fat man's fat face heavily.

Immediately, Feng Qing'er landed lightly on the ground in front of Xiao Yan, staring coldly at the fat man lying outside the store.

She was in a bad mood, or rather, she hadn't been in a good mood since yesterday. With her status, she came to the Black Horn Region to run errands. How could she be in a good mood?

And now, there happened to be someone who could let her vent her emotions, so she took action without hesitation.

"Leave that guy to me, you guys go do your thing."

Feng Qing'er said this coldly and walked out of the store.

The Little Medical Fairy leaned on the counter and watched Feng Qing'er leaving the store, then turned to look at Xiao Yan.

"You won't stop me?"

"Why stop her? She was already in a bad mood, and that man has walked into her trap."

Xiao Yan smiled bitterly helplessly. Although he didn't know Feng Qing'er's specific identity, he could tell from her temperament that she was definitely extraordinary. However, it was extremely frustrating that someone of this identity was working as a waiter in a restaurant.

Therefore, whether before opening the store or after closing last night, Xiao Yan mentioned this matter to Feng Qing'er, saying that if Feng Qing'er was unwilling to do this job, she didn't have to force it.

As a result, Feng Qing'er refused decisively after being asked twice, and insisted that she must repay Xiao Yan's favor.

For this reason, she just did the job of a waiter. She, Feng Qing'er, was not so pampered as to be that spoiled.

While Xiao Yan and Little Medical Fairy were talking, voices continued to come in from outside.

"Who are you? How dare you hit me? You know who I am.Ah!"

"Just wait! Just wait! I'll turn around and... Ugh!"

"Ah! Oh! Ah!"

Along with the continuous thunder and lightning, the fat man's screams were also one after another. Although he tried to fight back, as a one-star Dou Ling, he was really not enough in front of Feng Qing'er, who was at the peak of Dou Ling.

At this time, the children also gathered at the door, looking at Feng Qing'er, who was beating the fat man with lightning flashing all over her body, with admiration in their eyes.

It seemed as if Feng Qing'er showed mercy on purpose in order to vent her anger. She beat the fat man for three minutes before stopping. At this time, a large group of people gathered around. They did not show any sympathy for the fat man's miserable condition. Instead, they booed as if they were watching a good show.

"Phew~~~ I feel relieved at last."

Feng Qing'er let out a long sigh, releasing all the resentment that had accumulated in her heart.

Then he lowered his head and looked down at the fat man lying on the ground twitching constantly. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He slowly raised his hand, and sharp lightning, completely different from before, kept flashing in his hand.

Cut the grass at its roots and leave no room for it.

Now that he has offended him, there is no need to keep him alive, otherwise he might cause trouble in the future.

Xiao Yixian and Xiao Yan also saw Feng Qing'er's intention. Xiao Yixian didn't feel anything, but Xiao Yan frowned slightly.

However, he did not say anything to stop it, but just watched quietly.

This surprised Xiao Yixian, and she looked at Xiao Yan and asked softly.

"You won't stop me?"

Although Xiao Yan was truly merciless when he attacked, Xiao Yixian was not quite sure what Xiao Yan's bottom line was that would make him kill someone. However, she felt that although the fat man came to the store in a rude manner to collect protection money, he should not have touched Xiao Yan's bottom line, at least not yet.

When Xiao Yan heard Xiao Yixian's question, he was silent for a while and then answered softly.

"If it were just me, I would have let him go." Xiao Yan said, glancing at the children gathered at the door of the store, "But these children can't stand being tormented by this group of people."

"I can't gamble their safety with the conscience of evil people."

Xiao Yan's answer made Xiao Yixian's eyes flash with surprise.

Then he came to his senses and smiled with relief.

Xiao Yan has changed. For the better.

In fact, Xiao Yixian vaguely felt that since the incident with the Snake People, Xiao Yan's overly pedantic character was indeed slowly changing in some aspects.

"But having said that, you can't let her kill someone in front of the children."

Xiao Yan said softly, leaving the store and walking towards Feng Qing'er.

Outside the restaurant, Feng Qing'er's lightning was fully charged and was about to take the fat man's life. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of the children who were gathered at the door of the restaurant, looking at her with admiration.

In an instant, Feng Qing'er's heart suddenly stopped and an idea suddenly popped into her mind.

If I kill someone in front of the children, it will most likely leave two impressions on them.

Or, they may feel horrified by their own act of killing and be left with psychological trauma.

Or, they admire their own act of killing and even want to imitate it.

No matter which point it is, it is not a good thing for these young children whose values ​​have not yet been formed.

Thinking of this, the lightning and thunder that caused Feng Qing'er's injury gradually faded away. She kicked the fat man in displeasure and snorted coldly.

"It's a good deal for you. I'll spare your life."

The reason why Feng Qing'er felt unhappy was not only because she couldn't kill people in front of the children, but more because she didn't expect that she would actually care about the impact of killing on those children.

Do I really care about others so much?

Feng Qing'er frowned slightly, turned around and prepared to go back to the store, but she ran into Xiao Yan who came up behind her, and stared at him blankly.

Xiao Yan originally came out to stop Feng Qing'er, but he didn't expect Feng Qing'er to stop on her own initiative.

"You're not going to kill him?"

Xiao Yan asked stupidly, while Feng Qing'er curled her lips slightly.

“The kids are watching.”

After saying that, Feng Qing'er returned to the store. The children immediately surrounded her, gathering around her with admiring eyes.

"Sister Feng Qing'er! You are so awesome!"

"It only took two or three strikes to knock the man down!"

"I want to be like you in the future! I want those people to never dare to bully us again!"

Feng Qing'er was stunned listening to the children's sincere words of admiration.

Since childhood, everyone around her has praised her talent, and Feng Qing'er thought she had already gotten used to being praised.

But this is the first time that I felt from the bottom of my heart that I deserved these praises.

This touched Feng Qing'er's heart quietly, and at the same time, a sense of relief flowed from her heart that she herself was not even aware of.

I'm so glad I didn't kill anyone in front of these kids.

Outside the store, Xiao Yan looked at Feng Qing'er who was surrounded by children, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He really didn't expect that Feng Qing'er would stop because she cared about the children.
