Return to the City: The Strongest King

Qiao Yunxi raised her hand and gave Tiger Head a pat on the head, snorted, and said with a stern face, "Let's just do our thing, no bullying outsiders."

Tiger Head rubbed his head, looking embarrassed, and said, "Sister Xi, I know, I was just warning them not to talk nonsense."

His large build could easily fit Qiao Yunxi inside, weighing twice as much as Qiao Yunxi, yet at her glare, he was as obedient as a kitten, which seemed somewhat bizarre.

At this moment, Aunt Liu brought some buns and small dishes, and the few of them began to devour the food voraciously.

Feng Kexin, with her head down, took a sip of porridge and whispered, "She seems to be in trouble."

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Gang fights are very common."

"So, should we help her?" Feng Kexin asked again.

Song Xiaodong said, "Let's see the situation first. Anyway, we can't watch her suffer."

At this moment, Qi Lanqin softly said, "Brother, I feel she's actually quite okay, not as fierce as she looks, and she still said not to bully outsiders."

Feng Kexin also nodded and said, "My impression of her has improved a lot from the first glance, maybe she's not as bad as she appears?"

Song Xiaodong's impression of Qiao Yunxi also improved a bit. Generally, petty thugs love to prey on outsiders because the outsiders tend to suffer in silence.

Qiao Yunxi actually restrained her subordinates from bullying outsiders, she carried herself as a thug with some class.

After finishing their meal, Qiao Yunxi led her crew and walked out.

Song Xiaodong and his group didn't follow. They just wanted to understand Qiao Yunxi better; the small shop owner seemed very familiar with Qiao Yunxi, just the person they wanted to chat with.

After ordering some more food, Feng Kexin said to Aunt Liu, "Auntie, who are those people? They look quite intimidating."

Aunt Liu, seeing that Feng Kexin was good-looking and polite, took a liking to her. Perhaps she wanted to confide in someone, she sighed and said, "Don't be fooled by their fierce looks, they're actually not bad people."

"They're not bad?" Feng Kexin asked deliberately.

"Yes, yes. You all look like you're from big cities, you're definitely unfamiliar with this place. I tell you, it's best not to wander around, especially at night. This place is quite chaotic, and it's easy to get into trouble at night, unless you live on this street, that's the only time you might not get into trouble at night."

"What do you mean by that?" Qi Lanqin interjected, and then quickly said, "Auntie, we're here for tourism, please sit down and tell us more."

Aunt Liu saw there was no one else in the store, so she sat down and said, "Let me tell you, we can come out here in the evening because of Xiao Xi and her group. This street is their territory. They don't bully locals or outsiders on our street. If anyone dares to cause trouble on our street, they would be driven away by them."

Song Xiaodong interjected, "So, based on what you're saying, she should be quite popular with the locals here. But why did the people having dinner here seem to still fear them?"

Aunt Liu sighed and said, "Even though they're protecting this street, they ride motorcycles all over the place in a hurry and present a fierce demeanor. Of course, people are still afraid of them. However, everyone is aware that if they don't provoke them, they won't cause any trouble."

Feng Kexin said with a curious expression, "It seemed like the girl among them was the leader?"

Aunt Liu nodded and said, "That's correct, her name is Qiao Yunxi. We all call her Xiao Xi, and she really is the leader among them."

Feng Kexin continued, "How can a girl be the leader? It's quite strange to think those guys actually respect a girl."

Aunt Liu shook her head and said, "Don't underestimate her just because she's a girl. When it comes to fighting, she's fierce, always rushing to the front. She's also loyal, which is why everyone respects her."

Qi Lanqin grinned and said, "A girl rushing to the front in a fight... My God, can she even beat up men?"

Aunt Liu showed a proud expression on her face and said, "Yes, she earned her position as the leader through fighting, and most people can't beat her."

However, Aunt Liu soon showed a faint bitter smile and said, "It's a pity for Yunxi, walking such a path, how will she get married in the future?"

Liu Lanqin nodded and said, "Yeah, as a girl, always talking and fighting like this will scare men away. Why doesn't she do something else?"

Aunt Liu shook her head and said, "You don't know, Yunxi is pitiful; it's not her choice to be like this. Her parents passed away early. It's not easy for a girl to survive on her own. Although now she dresses like this, she actually looks beautiful without the getup. Because of her looks, many people pestered her, including many hoodlums. To avoid being bothered, she had to fight her way through."

Song Xiaodong, Feng Kexin, and Qi Lanqin exchanged glances, all showing a trace of excitement in their eyes.

"Aunt Liu..." Feng Kexin took a deep breath and said, "You mean Yunxi is a good girl, and she only joined the underworld to protect herself from harassment?"

Upon hearing what Feng Kexin said, Aunt Liu seemed to have found a confidant and excitedly said, "Yes, you have no idea how well-behaved she used to be. I watched her grow up, and seeing her become this wreaks havoc on my heart, and I can do nothing to help."

"Then... does she have a boyfriend?" Feng Kexin couldn't help but feel a bit nervous when she asked this.

"I don't think so. At least, I've never seen her with any man romantically involved. Even though those guys hang out with her all the time, they respect her, treating her like a big sister. Xiao Xi doesn't fool around with them."

At this point, Aunt Liu looked at Song Xiaodong with some excitement and said, "Have you taken a liking to Xiao Xi?" Check latest chapters at novel⦿fire.net

Song Xiaodong gave a dry cough, thinking Aunt Liu's thoughts really switched fast.

Feng Kexin hurriedly said, "Yes, yes! My brother hasn't been in a relationship yet, and hearing what you've said makes me think Yunxi is quite nice, so I thought of introducing her to my brother."

"Really? You're not tricking me, are you?" Aunt Liu suspiciously looked at Song Xiaodong now.

Under the table, Feng Kexin kicked Song Xiaodong lightly, making him give another dry cough. "I've seen many urban white-collar types and other kinds of girls, but Yunxi seems quite different, so I'm somewhat interested."

Aunt Liu quickly asked, "What do you do then?"

Feng Kexin hurriedly replied, "My brother is in business, our family has some money, but he just never finds a girlfriend, which has upset our family these past years. Now that he's finally interested in someone, we would do anything to make it happen."

Aunt Liu's eyes brightened, "In business? That's really not bad. So, can you take Yunxi away?"

This time, Qi Lanqin also played along, saying, "Of course, if she wants to, we will surely take her away and make her the young mistress of our family."

"That's really good, really good..." Aunt Liu rubbed her hands in excitement and said, "I've always hoped Yunxi would find a good family so she wouldn't have to live like this anymore. I'll call her right now and have her come back so you guys can have a good talk. It must work out, it must!"

Aunt Liu's words were somewhat incoherent, yet her care for Qiao Yunxi was evident. For Song Xiaodong and the group, notable was the fact that a person who could earn such care likely had a kind side as well.
