Upon hearing Zhao Chenlong's shameless words, Lin Qiaoxia was momentarily stunned, and then a surge of anger rose in her heart.

She now understood why he had insisted on paying for her earlier, buying the ice cream from this shop—he was calculating all along.

"Princess, please calm down for now, let me handle this…"

Lin Qiaoxia forced down her anger and spoke to Princess Yin Li first, urging her not to slaughter Zhao Chenlong and his group in a fit of rage, otherwise things would get complicated.

Upon hearing this, Yin Li glared angrily at Zhao Chenlong's group, then dived into an ice cream tub and continued eating large mouthfuls to vent her frustration.

Lin Qiaoxia took a deep breath, gave Zhao Chenlong a cold look, and then took out a credit card, handing it over, saying, "There's five hundred thousand on this card, enough to buy all the ice cream in this shop…"

"Smack!"

Zhao Chenlong, full of impatience, waved his hand and slapped the credit card out of Lin Qiaoxia's hand, saying, "Five hundred thousand?! Worthless, do you think you can just throw money at me?"

He took a step forward, his gloomy and defiant face suddenly close to Lin Qiaoxia, saying coldly, "Do you know? I once bought some skewers by the roadside, eating as I walked, and a husky ended up stealing the last few skewers. The husky's owner offered to compensate for them, but I didn't agree; ultimately, I bought the husky and slaughtered it that night."

"How much could a few skewers be worth? What I hated was that damned dog for stealing my food and ruining my day, so if I hadn't killed it to vent my anger, I feared I wouldn't have been able to sleep that night!"

Zhao Chenlong's lips twisted into a sinister smile, his expression cold as he continued, "The same principle applies today: this ice cream isn't worth much, but your pet stole my food and ruined my mood, so naturally, this can't be left unresolved!"

"Do you understand?" Zhao Chenlong spoke, moving his face even closer to Lin Qiaoxia, almost close enough to see her eyelashes clearly.

Lin Qiaoxia remained calm, not trembling with anger or at a loss.

She stared coldly at Zhao Chenlong, saying indifferently, "So, you're saying you have to take the princess today?"

"That's right, you can't stop me…" Zhao Chenlong sneered.

"Smack!"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Qiaoxia's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly raised her hand, slapping Zhao Chenlong's face away from in front of her!

"Ah!!"

Zhao Chenlong let out a miserable scream, spinning like a top into the air.

He spewed blood and crashed heavily to the ground, looking utterly pitiful.

"Young Master!"

"Young Master!"

"How bold!"

Zhao Chenlong's followers were astonished by the sudden turn of events, not expecting Zhao Chenlong to be slapped into the air by Lin Qiaoxia. Once they came to their senses, they all exclaimed in shock.

"Hmph!"

Lin Qiaoxia gave a cold snort, sweeping her gaze over the crowd. Seeing some rushing forward to help Zhao Chenlong and others rushing angrily to surround her, she said coldly, "Do you think you have the strength to rob me like this?"

With those words.

Lin Qiaoxia suddenly unleashed her cultivation at the Sixth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm, a terrifying aura erupted, directly blowing everyone who tried to surround her away!

A year ago, if Lin Qiaoxia faced such a situation, she would certainly have felt aggrieved, embarrassed, and at a loss, ultimately bullied miserably by Zhao Chenlong.

But now, she was no longer that soft and weak little woman.

Over the past year, she had experienced countless battles, personally killing hundreds of enemies and ferocious beasts, reaching the Sixth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm in strength.

Faced with this kind of situation, how could she let someone like Zhao Chenlong bully her?

Of course, she would slap them away directly!

If it weren't for being in the city, if this were the suburbs, she might have killed directly!

"Huh? What's going on?"

Mu Jinyu and the others, waiting on the street for Lin Qiaoxia to finish eating ice cream with Yin Li before continuing, sensed something amiss, stopped talking, and turned towards the dessert shop Lin Qiaoxia went to.

They all sensed Lin Qiaoxia's attack when she unleashed her Divine Realm aura, knowing something had happened over there.

Without saying much, Mu Jinyu's figure flickered, teleporting into the dessert shop.

"What happened?"

Mu Jinyu stood beside Lin Qiaoxia, glancing at the fallen group and the terrified shopkeepers huddled in a corner. Drawing his gaze back, he asked Lin Qiaoxia.

Lin Qiaoxia saw Mu Jinyu come in, followed by Gu Xiyan and others at the door. Her cool demeanor crumbled like an ice mountain, and she said somewhat sheepishly, "I'm sorry, I messed things up again. They wanted to kidnap Princess Yin Li, so I couldn't help but act…"

Briefly, Lin Qiaoxia explained what had just transpired to Mu Jinyu and the others.

"Well, well, truly impressive..."

After listening to Lin Qiaoxia, Mu Jinyu neither angry nor furious, instead looked at Zhao Chenlong with a gaze of astonishment.

He really didn't know where this guy got the nerve to try to kidnap Yin Li.

Even as someone at the Fourth Layer of the Unity Realm, he wouldn't dare claim to suppress Yin Li to take her away against her will.

Yet this group, with only Dark and Energy Transformation cultivation, dared to attempt kidnapping Yin Li—he didn't know whether to praise their courage or something else.

"Uh huh..."

At this moment, Zhao Chenlong, aided by his followers, recovered half his life. With help, he shakily stood up, looking at Lin Qiaoxia with immense hatred.

He could feel the depression of his right cheekbone, his entire face ruined, in excruciating pain. His eyes filled with hatred as he gazed at Lin Qiaoxia, nodding slightly, rasping, "Good, good, very bold of you to strike at me, to strike at me in Jinling—you wait and see, if you can leave Jinling today, I'll take your surname!"

"Oh?" Mu Jinyu heard Zhao Chenlong's threat, looking at him with interest, asking with a smile, "So impressive, looks like your backing isn't small?"

A beautiful girl around twenty, supporting Zhao Chenlong, spoke with a mix of grievance and pride, "Of course, Brother Long is the newly received disciple of the Master of Purple Gold Mountain, that slap was like poking a hole in the sky, you won't leave Jinling!"

"Exactly, it's just the Divine Transformation Realm, nothing in front of our Purple Gold Mountain!"

Zhao Chenlong's followers also calmed from the panic, sneering at Mu Jinyu.

"Oh? We truly misjudged, I was just about to find your Purple Gold Mountain, didn't expect to meet you here."

Upon hearing their chatter, Mu Jinyu's eyes flashed with a trace of unusual color and chuckled lightly.

Gu Xiyan and the others also wore peculiar expressions, not expecting to encounter people from Purple Gold Mountain here.

Indeed, they had been accustomed to arrogance in Jinling, yet with all they had was Dark Energy and Energy Transformation, they dared to challenge a Divine Transformation Realm powerhouse, boasting audaciously to keep them here!

One didn't know if they were cluelessly arrogant or if Purple Gold Mountain truly had such confidence!
