"Sorry, I haven't encountered any difficulties. Please convey my thanks to your young master for his kind offer, but I will decline the drink."
Zhang Xiaoduo spoke, then glanced back politely at Shen Shaolong.
Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoduo's words, the bodyguard's expression immediately turned grim. The aura of a Huang-level expert was subtly released, locking onto Zhang Xiaoduo.
Instantly, Zhang Xiaoduo felt a chilling coldness all over her body, her blood seeming to stop flowing, her face turning terrifyingly pale.
A martial artist! The other party was an extremely powerful martial artist!!!
Zhang Xiaoduo thought to herself, immediately becoming flustered. She couldn't understand how such a powerful martial artist would specifically target her, an ordinary person.
But what baffled her even more was that the order in Great Qin had been fully restored, and ordinary people and martial artists held equal status. If a martial artist attacked an ordinary person without cause, they would be punished.
Did the other party not care about Great Qin's rules at all?
"Sir, please leave, otherwise, I will call for the guards."
Zhang Xiaoduo spoke, her heart already extremely tense, hoping that the name of the guard would frighten the other party.
"Guards? Humph! Bitch, do you know what you're doing? Do you know what you've missed out on because of your stupidity?"
The bodyguard's face grew even colder upon hearing this. However, he did retract his aura, as he was on Great Qin's territory and had some reservations.
But in his opinion, Zhang Xiaoduo's refusal of his invitation was incredibly foolish. Once she pleased his young master properly, she would have endless wealth and glory for the rest of her life. He knew that although their young master loved to play, he never mistreated any woman he had been with.
A flicker of fear crossed Zhang Xiaoduo's face, and she dared not retort. The other party was a powerful martial artist, and no matter how much he insulted her with his words, she had to endure it.
Moreover, she was entirely focused on her daughter at this moment, desperate to find her husband and get back the life-saving money for their daughter. She couldn't be bothered with anything else.
"Humph! Take care of yourself!"
The bodyguard snorted coldly, giving Zhang Xiaoduo a frigid look. There had never been a woman his young master desired who he failed to obtain. Since this damned woman was unwilling to be with his young master peacefully, another method would have to be chosen.
The bodyguard returned to Shen Shaolong's side, while Zhang Xiaoduo quickly vanished into the crowd, searching everywhere for Zhang Senma's figure.
In a corner of the bar, Shen Shaolong heard the bodyguard's reply and smiled faintly, a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes.
"No one can refuse me."
Shen Shaolong said unhurriedly, his tone filled with aloofness. He never failed to get what he wanted.
"Young master, shall we find an opportunity to abduct that bitch later?"
A bodyguard whispered. They had done such things often since arriving in Great Qin. As long as they were discreet, Great Qin's guards would not be able to catch them.
Shen Shaolong shook his head slightly, then continued.
"Don't rush. Follow her first. I prefer things to be consensual."
At the same time, high above the bar, a figure hidden in the darkness floated silently, motionless. She was exceptionally well-hidden, her aura completely retracted. Even a peak Huang-level expert couldn't detect her.
She was An Mei. Shen Shaolong thought his actions in Great Qin were done without anyone knowing, but he should never have come to Jiangnan.
Jiangnan was the hometown of Ye Qingmei, and there were too many memories of the Li Xiaotian family here. Consequently, there were more powerful defenders stationed in Jiangnan.
The moment Shen Shaolong entered Jiangnan, Great Qin's intelligence system had already detected him. Combined with the recent disappearances of women in various cities, Shen Shaolong was clearly the prime suspect.
At this moment, An Mei frowned slightly. She recognized Zhang Xiaoduo. If Shen Shaolong's identity weren't somewhat special, she would have intervened the moment his bodyguard targeted Zhang Xiaoduo.
However, since Shen Shaolong had not made any moves yet, she could only lie in wait, anticipating his next mistake before making her move!
Shen Sect, humph!
A coldness flashed through An Mei's mind. Shen Shaolong was also incredibly audacious. With the Shen Sect and Great Qin currently in an adversarial stance, he dared to infiltrate Great Qin to cause trouble as the young master of the Shen Sect. He was clearly looking for death!
Three months had passed since the war to destroy the Great Han Dynasty. Great Qin's destruction of Great Han under the leadership of Li Xiaotian had caused a huge stir, shocking various major powers across the land.
Great Qin's strength was fully displayed to the world. Since then, all the cities taken over by Great Qin had restored order in an orderly fashion, and the ancient sects that had surrendered to Great Qin were also cooperating fully with Great Qin.
The Desolate Hall, Shen Sect, and other major powers had not taken any action to disrupt things during this period.
Great Qin's might had made all forces wary, including the Desolate Hall and others. No force dared to provoke Great Qin without reason anymore!
However, as Great Qin became more and more prosperous, ordinary people from cities ruled by the Desolate Hall and other powers continuously fled into Great Qin. This caused great dissatisfaction among people like Huang Wudi, who repeatedly threatened Great Qin to hand over those who had fled to Great Qin.
But Li Xiaotian had forcefully rejected all these demands. They would not hand over the people; they would fight if necessary!
Because of this, the relationship between Great Qin and forces like the Desolate Hall and Shen Sect became increasingly tense. Both sides stationed heavy troops at the borders, and a large-scale war was likely to break out at any moment.
Therefore, in such a situation, Shen Shaolong's infiltration of Great Qin to cause trouble was extremely foolish, as he could very well be the catalyst for the upcoming war!
An Mei was deep in thought when her eyes suddenly moved, and her consciousness focused on the bar.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoduo found Zhang Senma at the entrance of the bar's restroom. He was with a woman, and both of them were disheveled, having just come out of the restroom. Clearly, they had been up to no good.
"Zhang Senma!!!"
Zhang Xiaoduo screamed and lunged forward, tearing at Zhang Senma's clothes and shouting.
"Where's the money?! Give me back my money! Qianqian is critically ill and urgently needs money for surgery. She's your daughter! How can your heart not ache as you use her life-saving money to have fun?!"
Zhang Xiaoduo yelled, tears filling her cheeks. She was utterly disappointed with Zhang Senma long ago. Even seeing him appear disheveled with another woman didn't stir any emotion in her heart.
After all, she had been heartbroken too many times, and had long since become numb.
At this moment, all she cared about was her money, her daughter's life-saving money, and whether it had been squandered by this beast, Zhang Senma!
"Damn it! You damn bitch, who the hell told you to come here? Let go of me, damn it, get out of here! Don't embarrass me here!"
Zhang Senma's face was flushed red. Zhang Xiaoduo's sudden appearance made him feel extremely humiliated and filled him with rage. This damned woman hadn't been beaten for a few days, and now she dared to come here to find him!
At this moment, people were standing all around, watching the spectacle, not fearing to make things worse, and shouting encouragement from the sidelines.
