Chapter 20: How Ruthless

The man scanned Qin Yiling from head to toe as if he were sizing up a piece of meat. In the end, his gaze landed on her dirty face and he smirked.

Qin Yiling’s expression turned into an icy stare. She couldn’t be bothered to waste any more time talking, so she just ruthlessly stabbed the man’s foot with her knife.

“Ah!”

He had still been fantasizing happily when all of a sudden, he caught sight of a sudden movement and before he could even react, he felt a sharp pain in his right foot. It was so painful that he immediately plopped onto the ground, hugging his right leg with both hands and crying out in pain.

“My foot, my foot, it hurts!”

Qin Yiling stood up nonchalantly and kicked him, right in front of everyone who was staring in shock.

Her gaze was filled with derision as she looked down at the man on the ground, yowling in pain.

“Hmph, not only did you want to snatch my rations, you even dared to covet me. You’re simply courting death.”

Initially, she had only wanted to teach him a simple lesson, but then he even started having such filthy and despicable thoughts, so of course she couldn’t show mercy.

Although she had made her face dirty, and even deliberately restrained the way she talked and behaved, there were still some things that couldn’t be concealed, such as the skin on her hands and neck, her aura, and the brand-new clothes she was wearing.

Besides, she had been in a hurry, so it was only inevitable that she wasn’t able to disguise herself fully. Ever since they had joined up with the other group, she had been sensing a few scrutinizing gazes.

Therefore, she was already prepared to make an example out of someone. She had let the bratty child and his family make a scene as they pleased, because if it was simply about snatching her food, she wouldn’t need to be so harsh.

Too bad, this man was too greedy! So she had no choice but to make him bleed a little and teach him a lesson for everyone to witness.

Not caring about how miserable he looked, she walked up to him and wiped her knife on his body. Unexpectedly, this action terrified the man–who was curled up on the ground–so much that he froze instantly, afraid that the knife would be pierced into his body the very next second.

“…”

The onlookers swallowed nervously with horrified expressions and looked at Qin Yiling with fear. Who would have thought that a girl who looked so delicate and weak would dare to plunge a knife into the man’s foot, without even blinking an eye?

They could see clearly that the blood from the man’s right foot had soaked his cloth shoe. Even the ground was stained with blood.

Oof, how ruthless!

Upon witnessing this scene, the people who had been hiding some little schemes up their sleeves quickly abandoned those ideas. Right now, they just felt relieved that they had only been entertaining those ideas and hadn’t taken any action yet. Otherwise, they would have been the ones bleeding now.

Qin Yiling glanced around the room and everyone lowered their heads timidly, not daring to look directly at her.

Just a little girl. How could she be so scary?

“Goddamn it, b**ch! How dare you injure my son. Are you tired of living?!”

The middle-aged woman snapped out of her shock and shrieked at the top of her lungs. She glared furiously at Qin Yiling.

“You boys, are you dead? Can’t you see that your brother was attacked? Why are you still standing there? Quick, teach that b**ch a lesson for me.”

The two tall men rolled up their sleeves at once. Then, scowling murderously and waving their fists, they charged at Qin Yiling.

Seeing that, the onlooking crowd immediately retreated one after another, afraid of getting embroiled into the fight. Instead, they hid in the distance to watch the spectacle.

They weren’t worried since it didn’t involve them. In any case, they had nothing to gain no matter who won or lost. However, in the eyes of the crowd, this fight was obviously disadvantageous for Qin Yiling..
