Chapter 1792 — An Encounter on the Way, Part Two
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
In that moment, Tang Zhi suddenly felt a deep longing for strength. If only she too were a ** practitioner—even if she were merely an early-stage Yellow Rank expert like Xiaoxiao—surely dealing with these two highwaymen would be no trouble at all?
These two, in Wei Zhao's eyes... even in Wu Chengtian's and Uncle Qing's eyes, were existences as weak as ants, and yet they could strut and swagger, blocking their way on the road...
"Hurry up! What are you dawdling for? Get out of the car, or don't blame us brothers for smashing it up!" Having finished the transfer, the man in black tossed the bank card carelessly onto the ground and barked at Gu Mengyao in the car.
"There's no help for it. Get out!" Seeing the two of them make as if to smash the car, Gu Mengyao knew there was no way around it. If they shattered the window, they would still have to get out. They could not drive forward now, and as for reversing, Gu Mengyao did not have Wei Zhao's superb driving skills. On this rugged forest track she simply could not handle the car; one small slip and she would crash into a tree. So running was certainly out of the question.
Since the decision was made, the others hesitated no longer and opened the doors to get out. Shen Yushu, however, did not get out; she stayed inside, her hands still pressed to Wei Zhao's arms. The whole way she had been cooling him constantly, keeping him from being consumed by the heat and keeping the seat beneath him from being burned to ashes!
Although Mo Kongwu and Old Man Wei had laid fireproof insulating blankets over the seat, that worked for a short while; over a long stretch, even the blankets would probably fail.
Once the man in black and the bald man got a clear look at Gu Mengyao and Tang Zhi, a lewd gleam slid unbidden through their eyes!
It had been far too long since either of them had touched a woman, and even when they had, it was the sort of cheap streetwalker found in back-alley hair salons. How could such women compare with the two before them? Gu Mengyao and Tang Zhi were each first-rate in both looks and bearing. It would have been strange if the two robbers had not been tempted.
The man in black and the bald man exchanged a glance, each instantly understanding the meaning in the other's eyes. They chuckled and said, "Little ladies, you say you have no money, so we brothers will take your word for it. But, heh heh, out here in the wilds, playing around with us ought to be quite a thrill, don't you think?"
"What are you doing?!" A trace of panic showed on both Gu Mengyao's and Tang Zhi's faces. Though they asked, in their hearts they were already almost certain of the two men's intent—and this was exactly why they had not wanted to get out of the car!
Being beautiful was certainly a good thing, but at this particular moment it was not necessarily a good thing at all!
"What do you think, little lady?" The man in black grinned, baring a few big yellow teeth, then said to the bald man, "One each. I'll take the one on the right!"
