The three punks took turns touching Wang Xiangyun's face rather lecherously.

Wang Xiangyun felt agitated and angry to be treated and cheapened like this, but deep down a desire burned. She hoped to be touched some more.

She felt afraid, and her tone softened. "Go away, and you can have this pendant!"

Then she unbuckled the jade pendant from around her waist and threw it at them.

The instant the punks got hold of the pendant, she pushed them away and ran straight towards the busy streets.

This was the first time in her whole life that she ran as fast as she could without caring about appearances.

At the same time she prayed, Brother Ming, save me, please!

She had a feeling that the punks would not let her go so easily.

Unfortunately, she did not know that the man whom she missed so much was already on his way to the capital.

The jade pendant was invaluable. The three punks could not believe their luck.

"Bro, she must be a rich lady!"

"I know that, you idiot! She's wearing an exquisite silk dress! Have you seen anyone else around here wearing that?"

The one they called 'bro' looked at Wang Xiangyun from behind and said deviously, "Looks like we'll be bagging two for the price of one today!"

He noticed just now that the redness on Wang Xiangyun's cheeks was not as simple as it seemed. It was not just anger. She seemed to be under the influence of a drug.

He was used to doing nothing every day other than gambling and visiting brothels, so he had come to be very observant.

His two followers got excited. "Bro, you mean..."

They waggled their brows slyly. Everything else was left unsaid.

"Yep, exactly!" The leader kept the jade pendant and proceeded to chase after Wang Xiangyun.

The other two punks followed him. It was uncommon to come across a fair maiden like the one they just met, much less get the chance to ravage her.

Even if the consequences were severe, they would have no regrets!

On the other side, Little Tian searched frantically for Wang Xiangyun. She asked everyone she met whether or not they had seen her lady, "Have you seen a beautiful woman about this tall, wearing a gorgeous gown?"

She gestured Wang Xiangyun's approximate height.

The pedestrians would shake their heads. "No, I'm afraid not."

Little Tian continued her search and asked others. She was very anxious and worried that something might have happened to her lady.

It was then that Ye Liu and Li Wazi met her. As usual, Little Tian stopped them in their tracks and asked, "Have you seen a beautiful woman about this tall, wearing a gorgeous gown?"

Beautiful woman? Gorgeous gown?

Ye Liu turned to Li Wazi. "The woman we saw just now, was she beautiful?"

He had not noticed Wang Xiangyun's face. His attention was on the exquisite dress she wore. At that time, her face was blocked from view by the three punks standing in her way.

Li Wazi peered at him and gave an honest reply: "She was quite pretty."

It was only a short moment, but Li Wazi swore he had never seen a more divine lady!

"Please, where did you see her? I must find her immediately!" Little Tian asked frantically.

Seeing her in such a frenzy, Li Wazi pointed in the direction they came from. "Right there. The street's almost deserted. Why weren't you..."
