Big Gold Teeth and two hefty men lunged at Wang Yan and Ouyang Feiting from the front and back. Their eyes flashed with a fierce light as they fixated on the bag Wang Yan carried. Inside it was a cool 9 million yuan.

Big Gold Teeth's eyes were glued to Ouyang Feiting, filled with lust as he sought to reclaim every bit of humiliation he'd suffered from her along the way.

To the trio, Wang Yan, who appeared gentle and refined, and the frail Ouyang Feiting seemed like helpless lambs they could easily take control of.

A victorious grin spread across Big Gold Teeth's face as he laughed heartily. "Come here, sweetheart, I can't wait any longer."

As he spoke, Big Gold Teeth spurred his camel towards Ouyang Feiting's back, reaching out to grab her hair, intending to pull her into his embrace.

Just as Big Gold Teeth's hand was about to seize Ouyang Feiting's hair, suddenly she vanished before his eyes.

Both Ouyang Feiting and Wang Yan, along with his camel, were gone.

Big Gold Teeth stood frozen, baffled by Ouyang Feiting's sudden disappearance.

Though he forgot his body was still charging forward, legs rising from the camel's back.

If he'd caught Ouyang Feiting, Big Gold Teeth's force would have been just right. But with her sudden disappearance, his strength found no target.

The inertia sent Big Gold Teeth tumbling down the camel's head.

Frantically clawing the air, Big Gold Teeth glimpsed before him two burly men staring in shock.

He reckoned they faced the same situation trying to snatch Wang Yan's bag.

As Big Gold Teeth fell, desperately grabbing forward, his hand scratched a camel's mouth.

Camels, though seemingly docile, have explosive tempers. Provoked by Big Gold Teeth, the camel angrily bared its massive yellow teeth, biting his hand.

Big Gold Teeth plummeted into the desert. The soft sand didn't hurt much, but blood gushed from his bitten hand, the pain unbearable.

Howling in agony, Big Gold Teeth jumped up, glaring at the camel with fury.

The other two burly men, equally enraged and embarrassed, shouted, "Stop wasting time here, go catch them!"

Only then did Big Gold Teeth remember to search for Wang Yan and Ouyang Feiting.

Scanning around, they found Wang Yan and Ouyang Feiting already riding camels, leisurely heading into the distance.

Their relaxed demeanor made it seem they hadn't even noticed Big Gold Teeth's ambush.

Enraged, Big Gold Teeth ignored his throbbing wrist, mounted his camel, and the trio pursued Wang Yan.

Their camels now sped at full throttle. It seemed they'd easily catch up with Wang Yan and Ouyang Feiting soon.

Oddly, though Wang Yan's speed appeared slow, the trio couldn't close the gap, remaining meters behind him.

Big Gold Teeth gritted his teeth in fury, his eyes burning as he stared at Ouyang Feiting's graceful figure.

The other two vicious men screamed furiously, hurling curses.

"Hold it right there, kid!"

"Don't let me catch you!"

"Wait till I catch you, see how I teach you a lesson!"

...

But no matter how they shouted hoarsely, they couldn't catch Wang Yan, calmly ahead.

At this point, the trio grew curious about why they couldn't seem to reach him. It felt unreal, as if there was a ghost keeping them from Wang Yan.

Suddenly, Wang Yan, moving steadily forward, halted.

Big Gold Teeth and the two men immediately surrounded Wang Yan and Ouyang Feiting.

Big Gold Teeth roared, "Kid, where will you run now?"

The two men pulled out large knives, brandishing them before Wang Yan, shouting, "Hand over all the money, strip every last stitch off! Leave anything, and we'll hack off your arms!"

But Wang Yan appeared deaf to them, furrowing his brows and staring intently ahead.

Ouyang Feiting turned back and asked, "Brother Wang Yan, what's wrong?"

Wang Yan said grimly, "Seems we're in serious trouble."

Big Gold Teeth and the men laughed triumphantly.

"Hahaha, turns out he's a fool!"

"You've definitely got big trouble!"

"We're your big trouble!"

...

Yet Wang Yan's eyes still didn't regard them, remaining fixed ahead.

Seeing this, the brutish men grew mad. Leaping off their camels, they raised their knives, lunging at Wang Yan.

"Die, kid!"

Big Gold Teeth cheered inside, "Brothers, don't harm the gal."

A flash of golden light, a soft "plop", "plop", then twin sprays of blood shot skyward.

Big Gold Teeth laughed, "Haha, serves you right, boy, challenge me!"

Before his laughter ceased, cries of pain from the men rang out.

Big Gold Teeth hesitated a moment, then worried—could the girl have been hurt too?

Listening closely, the cries were male, no woman's voice.

Big Gold Teeth fixed his gaze on the scene, blanching with horror.

He saw the yelling ones were the men, not Wang Yan.

The men's knives hadn't struck Wang Yan but each other's shoulders.

Blood gushed from the men, staining half their bodies red.

Yet these burly men were fierce. Suffering such loss to an apparently gentle youth, they couldn't swallow their anger.

Confused how their blades missed, hitting themselves instead, they bellowed, yanked out the knives, and attacked Wang Yan again.

Now Big Gold Teeth felt real fear. He sensed something odd about Wang Yan, doubting the knives could touch him.

He decided he'd rather forgo Ouyang Feiting than let Wang Yan live.

So he yelled, "Kill him, kill him!"

As the two large knives arced towards Wang Yan, sitting unmoving on his camel, they seemed ready to strike him.

But as the blades neared, Wang Yan raised his left hand, flicking his middle finger with a light touch. There were two clinks, and the knives rebounded, slicing the men's shoulders again.

The men's eyes widened in disbelief despite their shoulders wounded again.

Big Gold Teeth gaped in astonishment, staring at Wang Yan like seeing a specter.

Still without glancing at them, Wang Yan's gaze remained forward, his voice heavy, "The serious trouble has truly arrived."
