Chapter 613: Discovery
Bai Qiqi leapt into the air, catching the spinning kitchen knife in her hand as she landed in front of the tattered little girl.
“Are you even a human?” she asked angrily, glaring at Zhang Mingjun.
The man leaned against a wall for support, his face pale and sickly. He resembled a wounded beast with his scarred body and distorted expression.
A tall, slender middle-aged woman was helping him stay upright. Half her face looked like melted asphalt. The woman wore leather armor, her hands glowing faintly with a pale green energy. The vicious, snake-like green vine was clearly under her control.
“What’s it to you?” The woman glared venomously at Bai Qiqi. “Short-lived pests, get lost and mind your own business!”
Bai Qiqi’s palm flickered with a burst of inner qi. The kitchen knife in her hand disintegrated into iron powder, scattering in the air.
“Unrepentant,” she said coldly.
Although she was usually calm, Bai Qiqi was now visibly angry. She continued, “You’re truly despicable. Even after being punished, you haven’t learned your lesson. Instead, you’re bullying such a helpless little girl... Leave now, or I’ll kill you.”
“You little wretch—” said the scar-faced woman, her fury exploded as she stepped forward.
But Zhang Mingjun stopped her.
“Let’s go.” He grabbed the woman’s arm, his voice low and hoarse. “Don’t bother with them... Treat it as if we’ve been bitten by a stray dog.”
