Chapter 118: 118 Spiritual Mirror Power (three more updates)

Xiaofeng quietly approached, listening to the increasingly clear voices inside, confident that the group of figures on the ground was her big brother.

"Tie Dan." One of them positioned an iron rod in front of Su Peng, "This guy obviously has some issues in his head."

The man named Tie Dan glanced at Su Peng, "Nonsense, even I can see that without your saying."

"Looking at where he lives, his family must be well-off," Zhang Qiang looked at Su Peng, "We tidy him up properly, make him pay us regularly, it will definitely work."

"Idiot," Tie Dan crouched down, "from now on, you must bring five dollars from home every afternoon, hear me? Otherwise, we’ll break your dog legs and cripple you too."

"Hah," Su Xiaofeng chuckled lightly, "Two able-bodied men bullying someone who’s mentally challenged, do you think you’ve got any dignity?"

Hearing the woman’s voice, the two men holding iron rods turned their heads. Seeing that she was just a young girl, they simultaneously stood up, resting the rods on the ground, and said with a teasing tone, "Wow, whose little wife is this? She’s pretty cute."

"Tsk, tsk, little girl," Tie Dan spoke up, "hasn’t anyone told you that this isn’t something you women should interfere with? Be smart and leave now. Nothing here concerns you. But if you really must meddle, we both happen to be single."

She was so beautiful and well-dressed, likely the daughter of a respectable family nearby, not someone they should provoke.

But if she insisted on intervening, they couldn’t be blamed for what came next.

Su Xiaofeng eyed the two men, who appeared to be unemployed locals wandering aimlessly, just having encountered her brother on his way out, seeing his disability and deciding to rob him.

Su Xiaofeng pursed her lips, ignored their warnings and said clearly, "I’m definitely intervening today. Big brother, stand up."

Seeing Xiaofeng approach, Su Peng, as if emboldened, glared at the two men and moved towards her.

"Turns out they’re siblings," Tie Dan snorted, extending his iron rod to block Su Peng, "We kind of liked the look of your brother and wanted to be friends with him."

Su Peng, seeing the iron rod, stood frozen in place, merely looking towards Xiaofeng.

Su Xiaofeng squinted her eyes; these two weren’t planning on letting them go easily.

"Leaving is simple," Zhang Qiang chuckled lightly, "We two are in need of a wife. Why don’t you join us for a bit?"

Su Xiaofeng observed the two men. "Are you sure?"

The two men appeared relaxed, armed with iron tools, not feared by a woman and a fool, and even two more men wouldn’t intimidate them, "Little girl, you choose—either bring us the payment or join us for a bit. See this? It’s a heavy tool, could easily kill someone accidentally. This is no joke."

As he spoke, Zhang Qiang lifted his iron rod and moved behind Su Xiaofeng, blocking their escape and giving her a suggestive look.

Xiaofeng, placing a hand in her pocket, where she had a packet of chili powder, calculated the speed needed to scatter it and dash away with her brother.

"Master." Xiaoqi’s voice sounded in Xiaofeng’s ear, "When your life and the baby’s are in danger, you can activate the Spiritual Mirror Power."

"How to activate the Spiritual Mirror Power?"

"The Spiritual Mirror Power will give you a moment’s strength to keep the opponent at bay," Xiaoqi said excitedly, as if longing for a fight, "You just need to chant ’Spiritual Mirror Power, activate,’ and the strength will naturally come out."

Su Xiaofeng, seeing Zhang Qiang approaching with his rod perhaps intending to harass her, quietly chanted the line Xiaoqi taught her, reached for his iron tool, and with a gentle flick, sent him flying a few meters away.

Seconds later, a loud, grating crash was heard.

Tie Dan, observing the scene, felt his legs go weak.

Who was this woman who easily threw Zhang Qiang away? He immediately dropped his iron rod, "Miss, I apologize. We didn’t recognize your strength. Please spare us, we promise to never come near you again."

She looked so gentle and weak, but her moves were ruthless. No wonder she wasn´t afraid of them from the start.

Su Xiaofeng glanced at her palm, feeling like it was all a dream. Could this be too real?

Taking advantage of Xiaofeng’s dazed moment, Tie Dan scrambled towards Zhang Qiang, rolling, "Qiangzi, let’s go."

They had only intended to get some pocket money, not to gamble with their lives.

Su Xiaofeng looked up to see the alley empty, nothing left.

They had gone—

"Xiaofeng," Su Peng, seeing that the people had left, touched his head, "Sorry, I just wanted to buy some candy."

His voice was soft, like he had made a huge mistake.

"It’s alright, big brother." Xiaofeng took his hand, "Let’s go home."

"They have iron rods, I’m scared," Su Peng followed behind Xiaofeng and explained softly.

"Big brother, if someone talks to you later, don’t pay attention to them, just head straight home, understand?"

He Ximei, seeing the person found, frowned and scolded, then worried, "The city is not like the countryside. There are many roads and people here. His memory is bad, and he can’t remember the way. I can’t watch him every moment."

It was indeed a problem.

He was just a little fellow of seven or eight years old now, curious about everything and wanting to touch and see everything. If this continued, something was sure to happen.

Perhaps Xiaoqi might have a way.

At bedtime, I’ll ask Xiaoqi, see if Xiaoqi has any ideas.

...

Huo Wu and his men, sneakily hid in some medicinal herb field in Shanghe Village, pointing to a two-story small building nearby, "Mingzi, see that? That’s Ye Cheng’s house."

"Brother Wu." Mingzi, gripping his heart, said, "We can’t just go in like this. Besides, this is someone else’s territory. Going straight into their house to steal a car, isn’t that bad?"

"You really are stupid," Huo Wu glanced at him, "We steal the car keys, see this? This is seal paste. Then we find a locksmith to make an identical key. The next time he parks his car in the town, we can just drive it away."

Looking at him being so dumb, why doesn’t he just die of stupidity?

Mingzi was glared at by Brother Wu and smiled sheepishly, "Brother Wu is smart, such a clever method, I could never think of it."

"Smart my ass, this is Old Eight’s idea." Huo Wu spat, "Old Eight always thinks he’s better than others. If I hadn’t messed up the big brother’s car, I wouldn’t even listen to Old Eight."

"Brother Wu." Mingzi looked at the nearby courtyard gate, "That old man has gone out."

"Truly heaven is helping us," Huo Wu’s lips curved into a smile, "Once the old man leaves, go knock on the door and say someone in your family is ill and ask Dr. Ye to come see them."

"But big brother, where will I take him once he comes out? My home isn’t here," This was not the main point; the main point was, what should he do if they were exposed?

"How aren’t you dead from stupidity?" Huo Wu kicked something and felt something was off. Why was there metal in this field? He bent down to inspect and then saw a huge black creature flicking its tongue at him.

"Ah, a snake, there’s a snake," Mingzi saw too, "Brother Wu, there’s a snake, run."

"Shut up." Why was he shouting so loud, did he want others to know they were squatting here? His legs trembled, "Mingzi, I think I can’t stand up."

"Brother Wu." Mingzi’s legs were also trembling; why was he so unlucky, "That Ye Cheng seems to be walking this way."

Would he open the cage and let the black snake out to bite them?

Huo Wu saw the person approaching, no longer caring about anything else, and started running in the opposite direction, "Not good, we’ve been spotted, run."

The two got up from the medicinal herb field and started to run, not caring which direction they were heading, just pushing forward.

"Ouch."

"My foot, why the hell is there a mousetrap here?"

The two were caught by the mousetrap, unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as Ye Cheng approached them.

"Brother Wu, is he going to throw us into the river?"

"I’ve heard he is very strong, I have no idea." Damned mousetrap.

"Oh my, I don’t want to die," Mingzi closed his eyes, "Brother Wu, it looks like we’re done for today."

"Done for, my ass." Huo Wu glanced at the nearby river, "I’ll count to three, and we’ll jump together."

"Brother Wu, I can’t swim," Mingzi finally freed himself from the mousetrap, his body shrank hearing Huo Wu’s words.

"You jump if you want, I’m jumping first." Huo Wu leapt, creating a big splash.

Mingzi, not daring to hesitate, followed suit and jumped, splashing into the water.

He secretly thought being drowned might be better than being smashed to death.
