Chapter 164: Chapter 164 Beating You Until You’re Searching for Teeth on the Ground_1

An Jing didn’t care how much protection money they collected from each stall; she simply stated at a leisurely pace, ”Since it’s protection money, then you should be the ones protecting us before we pay you, right? But what can we do, I have my husband to protect me, and my husband doesn’t need your protection, so it seems we don’t have to pay you after all. Sorry to have made you come here for nothing.”

”Boss, look at this...” The man with the thieving rat’s eyes was stunned by An Jing’s response and after a moment of pause, eagerly looked towards his leader to see what they should do next.

The scar-faced man leading the group immediately glared with his round, fierce eyes and threatened, ”Are you going to give us one tael of silver or not? If you don’t, we won’t be polite anymore!”

”Even if we did give it to you, you would still be rude to us,” An Jing replied slowly.

The three thugs were momentarily taken aback, not expecting An Jing to have seen through their intention of deliberately causing trouble; even if they got a tael, they would still be impolite.

Coming to his senses, the scar-faced man became furious. In Sixteen Town, there was no vegetable seller who wasn’t afraid of him, as they would obediently pay the protection money as soon as they made their demands.

But now, not only had An Jing talked back at length, she had also guessed their motive, which made the scar-faced man feel like he had lost face and, naturally, his anger rose.

The scar-faced man shouted in rage, ”You arrogant bitch, not even bothering to ask around who He Ba is. Fine, if you won’t pay the protection fee, we’ll make sure you can’t do business in this town!”

Immediately, He Ba ordered his two underlings, ”Go, smash this bitch’s stall and see how they can sell anything!”

”Yes, boss.” The two underlings promptly moved to smash the stall.

He Ba’s gaze then fell upon An Jing and Xiao Changyi, ”From now on, I’ll smash your stall every time I see you! Let’s see if you still dare to—”

Before He Ba could finish his sentence, he saw Xiao Changyi deliver a kick to each of his two underlings. Not only did they fail to smash the stall, but they didn’t even have time to react before they stumbled backwards several steps, clutching their bellies and squatting down, crying out in pain and even breaking out in a cold sweat on their foreheads.

Taken aback by Xiao Changyi’s unexpected move, He Ba’s fury erupted after a moment, ”You dare to hit my men, watch me knock your teeth out!”

With only the merest understanding of martial arts, He Ba was no match for Xiao Changyi. As He Ba swung his fist towards him, Xiao Changyi rapidly grabbed He Ba’s fist and pulled, instantly dislocating He Ba’s arm.

He Ba screamed in pain immediately.

But that wasn’t all; Xiao Changyi then kicked the back of He Ba’s knee, causing him to fall to his knees with a single knee on the ground.

Xiao Changyi, with an expressionless face, raised another hand knife and chopped down on He Ba’s shoulder. He Ba’s upper body pitched forward, and then he collapsed onto the ground.

Xiao Changyi stepped forward and firmly pressed his foot against He Ba’s neck. He Ba’s face hit the ground, knocking out half of his teeth.

A few white teeth mixed in with blood stood out starkly.

The onlookers were stunned, having never expected the local bully of Sixteen Town to be subdued by Xiao Changyi so easily.

Only An Jing was not surprised at all but rather her eyes sparkled.

She had been watching from the side all along, observing Xiao Changyi’s lightning-fast moves, precise and merciless, clearly superior to her own skills. Yet An Jingxin still very much wanted to have a match with Xiao Changyi.

Even though she was fully aware that her husband would never fight her.
