Chapter Eighteen: Human Waste

  Before long, Zhao Yang changed his clothes and walked out of the fitting room.

  As soon as Zhao Yang came out, he heard a man's angry shouting and scolding voice coming over, followed by a woman's voice that was not to be outdone. The woman's voice gave Zhao Yang a very familiar feeling.

  He hastily focused his gaze and saw that many people were gathered at the entrance of the specialty store, while in the crowd a man in his twenties with a fierce face was loudly scolding. On the opposite side of the man, Zhao Yang suddenly saw Lin Xueqi standing beside another woman, staring fiercely at the man.

  "What's going on?"

  Zhao raised an eyebrow and frowned, but he couldn't care less about wearing clothes from a specialty store, and immediately quickened his pace to walk forward.

  "You stinky little girl, what are you doing here meddling in other people's business? This rotten woman dares to betray me and fall in love with someone else, today I must break her legs!"

  The man shouted fiercely.

  "Zhang Liang, it's all over between us! I really regret knowing you, this scumbag. Drinking, gambling, taking drugs... what haven't you done? Being with someone like you will ruin my life sooner or later!"

  Lin Xueqi supported the woman, who covered her face with one hand, glaring at the man with a mixture of anger and tears in her eyes, which were filled with unyielding determination. Faintly visible on her cheeks were several red marks.

  "You stinky bitch, how dare you expose my shortcomings in public? Watch me not beat you to death, you cheap goods that owe a beating!" Zhang Liang was so angry that he rushed forward and grabbed at the woman.

  Lin Xueqi quickly shielded the woman behind her and glared fiercely at Zhang Liang, who was rushing over. She scolded him, "Are you still a man? You spend all day drinking, gambling, and taking drugs, and yet you have the nerve to blame Tong Jie for breaking up with you. With your kind of character, no woman could stand you. You still have the face to pester Tong Jie and not let go. If I were you, I would be so ashamed that I'd die from shame!"

  Being sarcastically rebuked by Lin Xueqi, Zhang Liang suddenly became furious, his facial muscles twitching and distorted, as he glared at Lin Xueqi with a fierce gaze, shouting: "You stinky woman, you also dare to come and lecture me? Today I'll beat the two of you together! See if I don't beat you two worthless trash half to death!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Liang's anger ignited and he raised his palm and slapped Lin Xueqi's face fiercely.

  Just as Zhang Liang slapped down with a loud slap, Lin Xueqi was frightened and her face turned pale. She never thought that the other party would dare to hit someone in public.

  Just as Lin Xueqi was about to subconsciously close her eyes, she suddenly found that the other person's palm had stopped in front of her, less than half a foot away.

  As he looked around, he suddenly saw a hand stretching out from beside him, firmly grasping Zhang Liang's wrist.

  "Are you okay?"

  A warm voice entered Lin Xueqi's ears, and the voice was somewhat familiar. Lin Xueqi couldn't help but look up, only to see Zhao Yang standing quietly by her side, his hand grasping Zhang Liang's wrist.

  "Zhao Yang?!"

  At this moment, Lin Xueqi's heart was stirred by a strange wave of ripples, and as she gazed at Zhao Yang's face, a faint ripple arose in her heart.

  When she was about to be bullied, Zhao Yang appeared and helped her resolve the crisis. Lin Xueqi looked deeply at Zhao Yang and slowly shook her head: "I'm fine. It's just that Tong sister was slapped by this scum."

  While Lin Xueqi was speaking, Zhang Liang, with a face full of anger, suddenly cursed and shouted at Zhao Yang: "Where did this wild kid come from? Get out of here quickly, or I'll beat you up so badly that you won't be able to take care of yourself!"

  As they spoke, Zhang Liang tried with all his might to struggle free from Zhao Yang's grip on his wrist, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge it in the slightest. Zhao Yang's palm was like a pair of iron pincers, firmly clamped onto his wrist, not moving an inch!

  "Oh yeah? I'd like to see you try and beat me to the point where I'm unable to take care of myself!"

  Zhao Yang let out a cold hum, grasped Zhang Liang's hand and suddenly squeezed it hard. Instantly, a crisp "crack" sound came, and Zhang Liang immediately let out a shrill scream like a pig being slaughtered.

  "Ah! My hand!"

  Zhao Yang ignored him, casually pushing Zhang Liang, who stumbled and fell to the ground, clutching his wrist which Zhao Yang had pinched, wincing in pain, sucking in cold air, with fine beads of sweat breaking out on his forehead...

  "Xiao Yongzhong, you wait for me, if I don't break your four limbs, my name will be written in reverse!" Zhang Liang glared at Zhao Yang with hatred and said viciously.

  "If you utter one more word of nonsense, I swear I'll break your other arm right now!"

  Zhao Yang said lightly. He didn't take the other party's threat seriously at all. As a cultivator, even though his current cultivation was only in the middle of the foundation period, such a street rascal couldn't even enter Zhao Yang's eyes, and with a casual move, he could easily crush him.

  Zhang Liang is not stupid, although he's a roughneck. From how easily Zhao Yang snapped his wrist earlier, it's clear that Zhao has had training and is far beyond what Zhang can handle. Continuing to tangle with him will only lead to humiliation.

  So, after hearing Zhao Yang's words, Zhang Liang immediately got up from the ground, covering his pinched wrist, and slipped out of the crowd with a gloomy face. As he left, he gave Zhao Yang a fierce stare full of resentment.

  Seeing Zhang Liang escape, Lin Xueqi couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. She looked up at Zhao Yang's calm and composed expression, her eyes having undergone some subtle changes compared to before.

  "Zhao Yang, thank you." Lin Xueqi sincerely thanked Zhao Yang.

  Zhao Yang waved his hand casually and said, "It's nothing, just a small effort."

  The people around saw that there was no excitement to watch, so they all dispersed one after another. However, many people were discussing how Zhao Yang had just crushed Zhang Liang's wrist with ease.

  There are also people who despise Zhang Liang's behavior. As a man, he is not decent himself, drinking and gambling, taking drugs, and to make matters worse, he still clings to his ex-girlfriend and beats her up in public, which is simply humiliating for men. Calling him scum is not an exaggeration at all!

  At this time, the woman who was just protected by Lin Xueqi suddenly said with some anxiety: "That, you guys should be careful, Zhang Liang is a narrow-minded person, he will definitely retaliate against you, I'm afraid he will do something bad to you..."

  "Tong Jie, what's there to be afraid of? That guy is obviously a coward who preys on the weak and fears the strong!" Lin Xueqi said disdainfully.

  Tong sister still looked at Zhao Yang with a worried expression and said: "Xue Qi, that Zhang Liang often hangs out outside, he knows many underworld people, I'm afraid he will find those underworld people to take revenge on you two."

  "Underworld?"

  As soon as Lin Xueqi heard what Tong Jie said, she was startled. After all, she was only 20 years old and a "flower" in the ivory tower, with little contact with the dark side of society. Now that Tong Jie mentioned that the other party knew people from the underworld, she couldn't help but feel worried. She looked up at Zhao Yang, feeling a bit apprehensive.

  Zhao Yang snorted disdainfully and said lightly, "Then I'd like to see who he can find. Hopefully they won't all be some insignificant nobodies."

  What kind of person is Zhao Yang? In those days in 'Di Yuan Xian Lu', he was a Taoist elder who had cultivated to the Tribulation Crossing period. Even if he only has the cultivation base of the middle stage of foundation building now, he won't take a few little rascals seriously.

  Zhao Yang's confidence made Lin Xueqi feel a lot more at ease. Seeing Tong Jie still looking worried, she couldn't help but comfort her: "Tong Jie, don't worry, with Zhao Yang here, everything will be fine."

  Her words seemed to be comforting herself as well.
