Chapter 111: Chapter 109: Protector and Madwife Mu Huanqing_1
"Liu Qianqian?"
Fang Ren was taken aback, glanced at the noblewoman sitting opposite to Liu Qianqian, and was surprised that the Liu Family had already come to look for her.
Moreover, he found it unbelievable for Liu Qianqian, usually known for her gentle demeanor, to suddenly slam the table and shout in a public setting. He had never seen Liu Qianqian behave like this; she had always been quite conscious of her image in public places.
Mu Huanqing glanced at Liu Qianqian and then at the noblewoman, her gaze filled with incomprehension; she had heard everything the noblewoman had just said.
She couldn't understand the noblewoman's haughty demeanor at all. What was wrong with eating in a small restaurant? And to bring it up to the level of not fitting one's status—she found it utterly nonsensical.
As the gazes of everyone in the restaurant centered on the two of them, Yang Lily only felt uncomfortable under the scrutinizing eyes of these inferiors.
Yet, she still tried to suppress the irritation in her heart, and spoke in as gentle a tone as possible, "Qianqian, hurry up and order, Mom just hopes you can care a little about your status."
"I don't want to have dinner with you," Liu Qianqian said with great sadness. "Could you please leave now? I can eat alone, and I would feel a bit better without you here."
Upon hearing this, Yang Lily felt that she couldn't save face, especially with so many people watching. She frowned and said, "Qianqian! If it weren't for you, do you think I would come to such a place?"
The customers nearby became somewhat irritated by this remark.
"If you don't want to eat here, get out. Who's stopping you from leaving?"
"This small place isn't good enough for you, then go to a fancy restaurant. Why cram yourself in here? You've just ruined what was an otherwise nice mood with your presence."
"You do look quite wealthy in that outfit, but I can't comprehend how a person with such distorted values can give birth to a daughter with proper values."
"Exactly! If you don't want to eat here, just leave quickly. Don't go spoiling your daughter's values. Such a good girl, and you want to drag her down with you?"
...
In an instant, the customers in the restaurant couldn't help but throw out a barrage of comments.
Listening to the harsh criticisms around her, Yang Lily's rage exploded in an instant: "A bunch of lowlifes! Shut your mouths!"
No sooner had she spoken than a red True Qi burst forth from her body, shaking the tables and chairs around her, breaking the ones closest to her, and starting to fly across the restaurant.
With a cacophony of crashing sounds, many bowls and plates were sent flying and shattered on the floor. Most of the restaurant's patrons were ordinary people incapable of Cultivation, and they instinctively screamed and dodged the flying debris.
Fang Ren watched as a broken bench leg flew towards Mu Huanqing, and his True Qi erupted in an instant, crushing the bench leg in mid-air.
He turned around with a furious look and stared at the noblewoman.
This woman turned out to be a mid-stage Xianyun Realm Practitioner!
"Ma'am, ma'am, please calm down!"
The cashier at the front immediately ran over, frantically saying, "Our little establishment really can't withstand your commotion, I'll apologize immediately for any lapses in service, please don't resort to violence."
"Hmph!"
Yang Lily waved her arm dismissively, reaching into her bag and throwing a bank card onto the table, looking contemptuously at the cashier as she said, "I'm not an unreasonable person. There's 100,000 yuan in this card, the password is six nines, consider it compensation."
Having said this, she glanced at Liu Qianqian and spoke, "Everything Mom did today was to have a quiet chat with you. Otherwise, Mom would never come to such a place, let alone argue with this bunch of inferiors."
Liu Qianqian clenched her teeth and angrily said, "You should apologize to them!"
"..."
Yang Lily's expression suddenly became blank, and after two seconds, she showed a hint of frustrated resignation and shook her head, "Qianqian, you've really disappointed me."
Having said that, Yang Lily picked up her bag and prepared to walk outside.
"Stop right there!"
Fang Ren immediately stood up in anger and shouted.
Yang Lily frowned, turned her head, and looked at the boy who was glaring at her, annoyed, "What now, does a little Peak Yuanxin Realm kid like you have any complaints?"
"Apologizing is something you need your daughter to teach you?" Fang Ren said.
Anxiously, Liu Qianqian next to him gave Fang Ren a look, panicking slightly. What she most didn't want was for the boy she liked to be here and see such a disgraceful scene between herself and her mother.
The other customers around were also silent, understanding they were only ordinary mortals; if Cultivators began to fight, all they could do was run.
"Looking at your clothes, you seem to be a classmate from Qianqian's school. Come here and apologize to me now, and I might let you off. Don't be too arrogant, kid," said Yang Lily with a frown.
"Are all the Liu Family members like you?" Fang Ren asked with disgust. "No wonder Liu Qianqian would rather run away from the family for three years than return! You don't deserve to be her mother at all! And you have no right to control her marriage!"
Yang Lily looked at Liu Qianqian beside her and saw that her daughter was always looking at this boy. She became even angrier and said, "With Qianqian's looks, she must have charmed many boys your age at school.
I don't know how you found out about Qianqian's identity, but if you think that by using this method to get her attention, and from there try to get close to her, I can only tell you, you are utterly foolish!"
"You're the one making things up in your head at your age?" Fang Ren said after listening, his face filled with disgust.
"Qian Qian, don't blame mother for not giving your classmate face, he brought this upon himself!"
After Yang Lily spoke, the fire attribute True Qi on her body exploded again, and the intense heat caused the temperature in the entire restaurant to rise instantly.
"Stop it!"
Seeing this, Liu Qianqian immediately ran in front of Yang Lily, her eyes filled with anger as she said, "If you dare to touch him, I will never return to the Liu Family in this lifetime!"
Looking at her daughter, Yang Lily frowned, then glanced at Fang Ren again, before finally saying to Liu Qianqian, "Today, when I came here, your guard Wu Hui told me those words. I thought they were all lies, but it seems the reason you don't want to return to the family is right before my eyes."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qianqian panicked and quickly said, "Stop it! I'll go to another place to eat with you."
Yang Lily gave Fang Ren a cold look and said, "Remember to stay away from my daughter. If you dare to do anything excessive, the Liu Family won't hesitate to take your life!"
Having said that, Yang Lily was about to turn and leave again.
"Say that again."
Just as she was about to turn around, a silver brilliance appeared in the small restaurant, spreading an icy voice around that made everyone shiver involuntarily.
Immediately after, an invisible pressure descended from the sky, weighing on Yang Lily. She felt her whole brain shake and her whole body, along with all her True Qi, began to tremble, her face filled with terror.
"Who is this..."
Her pupils shrank as she stared blankly at the woman in a white dress slowly standing up behind Fang Ren. When she saw the silver True Qi, her heart was struck with shock as if a violent storm had erupted, nearly bringing her to kneel on the spot.
"This is... Creation Immortal Qi!" Yang Lily muttered to herself, standing there dumbfounded as if turned to stone.
Liu Qianqian also hurriedly turned around, only then noticing the girl in a white dress behind Fang Ren. But that girl's silver hair and well-proportioned figure... Had she returned?
The group of customers nearby exchanged glances, unable to comprehend the situation.
"This girl seems even more powerful, but the other party is from the Tianjiang Liu Family. Why argue over this? Just take the loss and let it go..."
"Have you lost your mind? Someone her age, with such a cultivation level, overpowering someone from the Tianjiang Liu Family, is definitely not someone to be messed with easily."
"Did you hear what that woman said? It sounded like something about immortal Qi."
"Creation Immortal Qi?"
"What! Creation... that can't mean!"
...
As the four words "Creation Immortal Qi" spread throughout the restaurant, the atmosphere froze instantly.
Fang Ren watched Mu Huanqing and didn't try to stop her; after all, this woman was truly detestable, looking down on others and resorting to violence at the drop of a hat.
If he and Qing'er had encountered this situation when they had first met without any True Qi to use, he could only have watched helplessly as Qing'er got hit by the stool leg.
"Say that again."
Mu Huanqing took two steps forward, casually took off the duckbill cap that covered her face, revealing stunningly beautiful and icy cheeks.
Immediately after, the silver True Qi behind her began to condense instantly, forming a small silver wheel rotating behind her.
"Hundred Martial Divine Weapon?! It's the Hundred Martial Divine Weapon!"
"Creation Immortal Qi, Hundred Martial Divine Weapon... It really is Madame Xuan!"
"Oh my! I'm dining with Madame Xuan! This is just too unbelievable!"
"Phone, phone! Give me the phone! Give it to me!"
"Take a photo! Quick, take a photo!"
...
Yang Lily was completely dumbstruck; this was undoubtedly Madame Xuan! And there could be no mistake about it!
Madame Xuan was dining here, and she had just insulted everyone present as inferiors! She had insulted Madame Xuan as an inferior!
It's over...
Yang Lily suddenly felt as if her world had turned grey; her brain couldn't keep up with everything she was seeing and she was unable to react.
Thump—
Two seconds later, Yang Lily knelt on the ground, then dispersed all the True Qi in her body, and with a face full of fear, she cried out, "Madame Xuan, please spare my life!"
