“Langjun, what is this…?”

The servants came forward. Jiang Pengji had just finished the whole bottle of alcohol in front of them. Judging from her eyes, she seemed sober still, but the way she walked said otherwise. Her steps were soft, like she was walking on air, and her body wobbled while she paced, which was typical of a drunk.

They weren’t sure if Jiang Pengji was truly drunk, but there was one thing they were 100 percent sure of: They wouldn’t be keeping their lives much longer if the Langjun had any accidents. Without their surveillance, the Langjun would be very likely to fall into the pool and jeopardize his life. There was no way they would allow any incidents to happen while they were present.

Jiang Pengji dodged their obstruction and quickly left her spot. She stared at one of the waterside pavilions not far from her.

I gave no effort, and I found what I was looking for. She hadn’t planned to search for the two guys; they came to her instead for their punishment.

The two guys still had no awareness that they would be d*mned, and they were just acting casual and chatting together while they took advantage of a servant girl. It was an efficient way for them to ease the fear they had from earlier. The servant girl was shamed and furious, but she had no way of avoiding them.

“If you like, my brother, you can summon this girl tonight to help you relieve your bitter yearnings. At least she seems clean-cut. It does match with the fame of this hot spring hotel under Prince Changshou. It is not hard to tell with these pretty girls working here.”

The “brother” was definitely tempted, but he was trying to express less of his enthusiasm to avoid looking like he was some kind of a pervert who was eager to get laid. “I’m not sure if it is appropriate. It is not moral for me to take something that you are interested in.”

He had white, baggy clothes on him, and he purposely tied his waistband loose in order to show off most of his chest. From years of pampering, his skin was as tender as a girl’s, and his snow-white skin was instead, rosy red. He seemed languid with his brows down. Clearly his body was not in good condition because of his indulgence in alcohol and women.

“Well, don’t fuss about this between you and me. Women are just like clothes, but my bros are like a part of my body. She is just a disposable woman who means nothing to me. You can take her anytime if you want…” He waved his hands dismissively.

The old adage “birds of a feather flock together” was one dating rule that would never go out of style. The two guys shared exactly the same aura. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have hung out so much.

“Since you say so, then…” Before he had a chance to respond, there was a distinctive smell of alcohol that diluted the fragrance of the female servant––even it wasn’t that pungent.

The young guy’s head rose. He was upset, but he only saw a young boy holding a bottle of alcohol in his hands and standing right in their way.

“Do you still remember who I am?” Jiang Pengji squinted above the two guys’ heads with a weird smile.

The tourists who were sitting around them sensed that something was not right, and they all paid extra attention to them. They were either curious or waiting for a show.

The evaluation was near at hand, and no one wanted to get themselves involved in a mess.

“Interesting. Why should I know who the hell you are?” One of the guys smiled with contempt. Of course he didn’t recognize Jiang Pengji. He only considered her as some random tourist staying in the hot spring hotel.

“You don’t?” Jiang Pengji seemed tipsy and squinted her eyes. All of a sudden, she approached one of them.

“Stay away from me, you drunk. This is not some random hot spring hotel that is wide open to any customer, especially a despicable person like you.”

The young guy stepped back. He couldn’t hide his aversion to her on his face. He found it was hard for him to get near Jiang Pengji because of the strong alcoholic smell coming from her.

Jiang Pengji grinned, showing her white teeth, but her smile seemed evil and wanton.

Just when the two guys were about to lose their last bit of patience, and they intended to shove Jiang Pengji away, a foot slammed into one of the guys’ faces.

“Ah…”

The hot springs near the waterside pavilion broke into a sudden commotion. The people watched the whole thing: One of the young guys was kicked off the waterside pavilion by the drunk boy. He flipped into the hot spring after his face was kicked by the young guy.

It was completely out of the blue. The young guy’s baggy clothes wouldn’t stay on him anymore. His waistband came loose, and his clothes flew wide open––his body was shown in front of the audience. The young man thrashed his way out but choked on the water because he was unprepared.

“What are you looking at? You are going in there, too!” Jiang Pengji gave the other one a good kick and sent him into the hot spring as well before anyone realized what had happened.

After another big splash, he ended up beside the first guy who went into the water. They thrashed around, trying to get up, but instead, they rolled together and tumbled.

“Ha… don’t they look like skinned frogs?” Jiang Pengji laughed freely. She leaped over the fence of the waterside pavilion and stood on top of the rock divider that was placed next to the waterside pavilion.

“What are you looking at? Bring the drink over!” Jiang Pengji turned over and yelled at the female servant, who was stunned. “Bring my drink over here!”

The female servant came back from the shock of what she had seen, but her mind still wasn’t clear. She followed her instructions without realizing the most accurate way to deal with this scenario was to settle Jiang Pengji down, which was going to help solve the dispute between the two parties. She definitely did not want to bring Jiang Pengji more alcohol; that would just make it worse.

“Who allowed you to stick your head out of the water, eh?” Jiang Pengji wore a grin as she stepped her foot on one of the guys’ heads and kicked him back into the water. Her face was full of undisguised malice and displeasure.

“Who the hell are you? And how dare you…” Before he even finished his sentence, Jiang Pengji tread on his head again and sent him back into the hot spring. Water rushed into both his nose and mouth.

“Who am I?” Jiang Pengji grabbed the bottle from the female servant and ripped the seal off of it. She took a big sip of alcohol from the bottle and stamped one of the guys’ heads swiftly into the water again. The audience, who was enjoying the show, started to become restless. No one had the courage to stop Jiang Pengji.

The two guys were not small in size at all, but they had been kicked into the water like chickens by a young boy!

Even though he took advantage of being unexpected, it was not hard to tell that he was a master of martial skills, especially with his legs.

Judging by the young teen’s look, he was clearly more than tipsy, and he had probably blacked out. If they put themselves between the two to help resolve their issue, there was a good chance that they’d get kicked into the water as well because the young teen was out of control. They would want to kill themselves if they were mistreated like that.

“God is watching you. You apparently were born without a brain since you don’t even remember who you messed with. And who gave you the confidence to threaten me here still?” Jiang Pengji scolded them both with a sharp voice. Her eyes had an evil, foreboding twinkle.

With her looking like that, no one wanted to help. They could only ask for help from the manager of the hot spring hotel.

“He… help…” The two guys struggled to climb out of the hot spring, but unfortunately, they weren’t fast enough; Jiang Pengji kicked them back into the water over and over again. They felt like their brains were about to be kicked out of their heads.

The more they asked for help, the more rampantly Jiang Pengji laughed at them. She was staring at them like she was staring at mice thrashing in boiling water.

Someone said, “This Langjun, a scholar prefers death to humiliation. They don’t deserve humiliation like this no matter how much resentment you have towards them.”

Regardless of the fact that Jiang Pengji was drunk, just her insulting someone like that already pushed most people’s buttons.

Jiang Pengji beamed at the guy who spoke, but scowled at the guy who was pleading for mercy.

“A scholar prefers death to humiliation?” she repeated with sarcasm. “I will also give you a piece of advice: Keep your mouth shut when you don’t know the truth. What happened to the edification you learned? I’m doing this today. Do you have a comment about it?”
