Chapter 120

Not only is fighting forbidden in the Nine Dragons Market, but at such a close distance, casting a spell leaves no time for a reaction.

If Lu Miaohuan hadn’t been wearing a magic artifact for protection, she might not have died from the fireball, but she would have been seriously injured.

“Not good!”

Lu Changsheng, who had been watching the excitement like everyone else, was shocked at the scene unfolding before him.

He hadn’t expected the girl in the yellow skirt to actually make a move, let alone use a spell.

He also realized that if Lu Miaohuan hadn’t had a magic artifact to protect her, there would have been trouble.

In an instant, he stepped forward, and bolstered by the Green Wind Boots, his body turned into a blur, appearing in front of Lu Miaohuan, with his Green Robe billowing, displaying a Body-Protecting Technique.

“Pfft!”

The fireball hit Lu Changsheng’s chest but was blocked by the protective spell on his robe.

Lu Miaohuan was also stunned for a moment, not expecting Zheng Yongshan to actually attempt to kill her, and she was surprised by Lu Changsheng’s intervention.

But in the next moment, she looked at the girl in the yellow skirt with a cold expression and said, “Zheng Yongshan, you dare to attempt murder!”

“Pfft!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Miaohuan’s hand erupted with flames, and she slapped toward Zheng Yongshan.

However, a ‘ding’ from Zheng Yongshan’s earring produced a faint glow, extinguishing the flames in Lu Miaohuan’s hand, turning it into a crisp-sounding slap on her face.

Lu Changsheng was somewhat taken aback by this.

It appeared the girl in the yellow skirt had the temperament of a spoilt young lady, acting without considering the consequences.

But this Second Miss wasn’t any better off, as the two were evenly matched in their recklessness.

“Ah! Lu Miaohuan, I’m going to kill you! Kill you!”

Zheng Yongshan was humiliated and enraged by the slap, her voice becoming sharp and almost hysterical as she fumbled in her Storage Bag for a Talisman to activate.

“Damn it!”

Seeing the Talisman, Lu Changsheng immediately recognized it as a Superior Grade Talisman.

He knew that the children of cultivation families always had some life-saving methods when out and about.

If the two were to continue, the situation would escalate.

Acting quickly, with a swift move, he snatched the Talisman from her hand and said, “Miss, calm down, please calm down.”

“Lu Changsheng, step aside. I want to see if she has the ability to kill me!”

Although Lu Miaohuan didn’t understand how Lu Changsheng had appeared, she was equally angry, with two Talismans appearing in her hand, ready to retaliate.

“Shan Shan, sister, let it go, let it go.”

At this time, two of Zheng Yongshan’s close friends stepped forward to mediate.

They hadn’t expected a minor issue to lead to such a confrontation between Zheng Yongshan and Lu Miaohuan.

They couldn’t just sit by and watch the situation escalate further.

That would not only draw the attention of the Nine Dragons Marketplace’s enforcers.

If one of them got hurt, it would involve the families behind them, the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain and the Zheng Family of Wugong Ridge.

“Second Miss, let it go, please.”

Seeing people persuading them, Lu Changsheng also promptly urged Lu Miaohuan to stop.

He wouldn’t have gotten involved if he hadn’t seen the other party make a move, fearing that Lu Miaohuan might get into trouble.

Now that he was involved, he couldn’t just watch the two of them continue to quarrel and sought to defuse the situation.

“Hmph!”

At his words, Lu Miaohuan snorted softly, putting away the Talismans in her hands.

She may have been impulsive, but she was not foolish and knew continuing the argument would make things difficult to resolve.

“Miss, let’s stop here, please. I apologize on behalf of the Second Miss.”

“If we continue, the enforcers will be here soon. Although your families have some influence, you were the one who struck first, and it won’t look good if things get out of hand.”

Lu Changsheng, seeing Zheng Yongshan’s eyes red with rage, returned the Talisman to her with a soft tone.

Although he thought her attempt to kill was a serious problem.

Such matters, if left to escalate further, wouldn’t do either party any good.

Eventually, one side had to back down and offer a way out; otherwise, there would be no end to it.

“Lu Changsheng, I did no wrong, why apologize to her?”

Lu Miaohuan was not pleased when Lu Changsheng apologized on her behalf to Zheng Yongshan.

“My lady, please just do me a favor and keep quiet.”

Lu Changsheng immediately said to Lu Miaohuan upon seeing Zheng Yongshan’s anger flaring up again.

“Hmph, Lu Miaohuan, you just wait for this!”

Zheng Yongshan regained her composure, aware of her impulsivity, took the Talisman back from Lu Changsheng, and coldly said, looking at Lu Miaohuan with reddened eyes.

She was about to leave, then paused, turned back, and added, “Lu Changsheng, right? I’ll remember you too!”

Lu Changsheng was somewhat speechless at this.

Always amicable, he never offended anyone, and he hadn’t expected to be remembered over such an incident.

“Who’s afraid…”

Lu Miaohuan was about to retort, not willing to yield, when Lu Changsheng, seeing where this was headed, quickly covered her mouth to stop her.

Allowing Lu Miaohuan to retort would probably lead to Zheng Yongshan doing the same, and the argument would become never-ending.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng thought to himself that it was a miracle these young ladies had managed to live this long without someone killing them over their attitudes.

Lu Miaohuan felt the warmth of Lu Changsheng’s palm on her mouth and was momentarily startled.

She had never been so close to a man before, and Lu Changsheng’s actions made her nervous and flustered.

Hastily removing his hand from her mouth, her face flushed with a hint of embarrassment, she said, “Lu Changsheng, what are you doing!”

Lu Changsheng also felt the moisture of her lips against his palm.

Realizing his behavior was a bit overboard and somewhat rude.

He immediately showed a hint of apology and said, “Sorry, sorry, I acted hastily in a moment of urgency. Please forgive me, Second Miss.”
