Chapter 6: Swindlers and Neurotics

me. There's something going on...""Sir, would you like more dishes" A waiter approached their table and asked cautiously."If we don't order dishes, what are we going to eat" Xia Tian was a bit displea...Chapter 1: Big and Petite Beauties

"Ruffian!" The girl glared at Xia Tian angrily.

"I haven't finished yet," Xia Tian muttered as he watched the girl leave.

A slender woman sauntered over, and Xia Tian greeted her: "Auntie, I have an ancestral secret recipe for top-quality beauty cream. Just one month of use and you'll go from A to C..."

The slender woman immediately got angry: "What are you looking at Am I really an A cup Clearly, I'm a B!"

"Oh, then it will definitely make your B cups become Ds. Auntie, would you like to buy some It's very cheap." Xia Tian quickly said, but secretly thought that she was clearly an A cup.

"Is it really effective" The woman seemed intrigued.

"Of course! I made this using thousand-year papaya juice!" Xia Tian nodded eagerly.

"There's such a thing as thousand-year papaya juice" The woman looked at Xia Tian in doubt.

"Sure, we even have ten-thousand-year-old versions!" Xia Tian said confidently.

"How much does it cost then" After some hesitation, the woman asked.

"Ten thousand per bottle. That's very cheap," Xia Tian was delighted, thinking he would make a sale soon.

"Do you take me for a fool" The young woman glared fiercely at Xia Tian and walked away, yelling from afar, "You damned liar!"

Xia Tian felt very innocent; he really had been quite cheap. If not for the urgent need for money, he would have asked for one million.

"Miss, you must be unwell..."

"You're the sick one! You're crazy!"

"Brother, something's wrong with your brain..."

"Damn it, there's nothing wrong with my brain, it’s yours that’s diseased!"

...

An hour later, Xia Tian sat by the roadside in a very depressed mood. He was cursing his three masters inwardly; hadn't they said making money would be easy Why was he finding it so difficult to make even a little now

Before an hour had passed, he never thought of earning money as an issue. The chief master could earn hundreds of millions by simply treating a patient, but why couldn’t he, who was supposedly more capable than the chief master, not even earn thousands

Looking at the Xingxing Flower Shop across from him, Xia Tian started wondering if he should just go and find Qiao Xiaoqiao. However, in his heart, he wasn't convinced; could it really be that he couldn't make any money

At this moment, a man and woman hand-in-hand approached the flower shop. The man was tall and broad-shouldered while the girl was quite pretty as well. A short while later, the man handed over a bouquet of bright red roses to the woman, who received them with great excitement and kissed him in public.

Seeing this scene, Xia Tian's resolve to buy flowers strengthened even more. But at that moment, an angry voice suddenly rang out: "Zhang Li, what are you doing"

The sudden voice came from a fat man, who rushed toward the girl who had just received the rose, his face filled with anger.

The girl's expression changed first but then quickly returned to normal. She held onto the arm of the tall boy beside her and looked at the fat man arrogantly: "Wang Jie, since you've seen this, I'll tell you now that I want to break up with you!"

"Why" The fat man named Wang Jie roared back. "Is it because he's richer than me"

"Wang Jie, this has nothing to do with you," the girl named Zhang Li said, looking at him with disgust. "From now on, we have no relationship and don't come near me!"

"Zhang Li, you'll regret it!" Wang Jie clenched his fists tightly.

"I would only regret ever being your girlfriend," Zhang Li snorted disdainfully as she held the tall boy's arm and walked off toward campus. "Ziqiang, let’s go. Don’t pay attention to him; he’s crazy!"

The two left hand in hand while Wang Jie glared at their backs with his teeth clenched.

"Hey man, your wife got snatched" Xia Tian ran over to Wang Jie quickly. "Give me ten million and I'll kill that guy for you. How’s that"

Wang Jie, still in a fit of rage, turned around to look at Xia Tian: "What did you say"

"I said if you give me ten million, I’ll take care of that guy and snatch your wife back for you!" Xia Tian quickly explained.

Wang Jie stared at Xia Tian oddly before saying after a long pause: "Are you out of your mind"

Xia Tian was depressed again.

"Hey, man, I'm serious. I really need money, how about this: eight million and we're done," Summer didn't want to give up on this deal.

"F*ck, if I had eight million, why would I need Zhang Li I could find a woman ten or a hundred times better than her!" Wang Jie said irritably.

"You should have told me you didn't have money earlier!" Summer was a little annoyed. He was wasting his time.

"Ah, I just happen to have eight hundred bucks on me. Why don't you go beat that kid up" Wang Jie suggested proactively.

Summer left directly; it wasn't fitting for him to be someone's hired fist fighter.

Suddenly, his stomach rumbled loudly, and Summer immediately realized a harsh reality: he was hungry. It was no wonder since he hadn't eaten anything from morning till now.

"My wife said eating out also costs money. This is really troublesome," Summer suddenly found himself missing life on the mountain somewhat. However, nostalgia aside, he still needed to solve his meal problem, which again led back to the issue of him needing to earn money.

"Sun XinXin, get your ass out here!" A loud shout caught Summer's attention; a yellow-haired young man in tank top and shorts with thongs was standing outside Sun's Flower Shop.

"Zhang Dazhu, what do you want this time" A woman walked out of the flower shop. She looked around twenty-four or five years old with snow-white skin and black hair, looking very beautiful. Her body shape was perfect, curvy in all the right places, exuding a mature and charming aura. However, at that moment her pretty face was full of annoyance.

"I'm broke!" Zhang Dazhu stared greedily at Sun XinXin as his lower half seemed to swell up.

"I gave you two thousand just three days ago!" Sun XinXin glared angrily at Zhang Dazhu.

"No matter what, I need money today!" Zhang Dazhu stared fixedly at Sun XinXin's full chest. "Give me five thousand or else come home and marry me!"

"You!" Sun Xinxin was furious. "Zhang Dazhu, how can you be so shameless"

"I'm shameless You have money to keep a pretty young man on the side, so why can't I ask you for money" Zhang Dazhu said carelessly.

"You, you don’t just talk nonsense!" Sun Xinxin was so angry that her face turned pale. She looked around with an appealing gaze, but although there were already more than ten people watching the commotion and even a security guard from the school, everyone avoided her when they saw her look.

Zhang Dazhu wasn’t the first time causing trouble here; everyone knew he was a bully. The last few times, someone had tried to call the police for help, but the police couldn’t do anything about it either, so now people just gathered around to watch.

"Sun Xinxin, are you going to pay me or not If you don't, I’ll smash your flower shop!" Zhang Dazhu continued to threaten her.

"What if I give you the money" a voice suddenly interjected. Everyone turned their heads and saw an average-looking teenager standing there with a smug smile on his face.

"Who are you" Zhang Dazhu was taken aback.

"I’m Xia Tian, as in summer's 'xia', and the sky's 'tian'." Xia Tian smiled brightly and flicked his finger; the only coin he had flew towards Zhang Dazhu. "Here’s your money, catch it!"

Zhang Dazhu instinctively reached out to grab it but suddenly felt an intense pain shoot through him. He let out a deafening scream: “Ah…”

“Clang...” The coin landed on the ground with a crisp sound.

"You, you damn bastard! You tricked me" Zhang Dazhu held his hand and glared angrily at Xia Tian.

Xia Tian walked slowly up to Zhang Dazhu, bent down to pick up the coin from the ground, put it in his pocket, straightened up, smiled brightly at him again, then raised his hand and slapped Zhang Dazhu with a loud crack.

"I don't do underhanded stuff like that. I beat you fair and square," Xia Tian said with a smile.

"You, how dare you hit me" Zhang Dazhu was still reeling from the slap and hadn't fully recovered yet.

"Crack!" Another sharp sound rang out as Xia Tian slapped Zhang Dazhu again: "Of course I have the nerve to hit you."

"I'll fight you till death!" Zhang Dazhu roared as he lunged at Xia Tian.

Xia Tian kicked him in the abdomen. Zhang Dazhu let out a pained scream and fell backward.

The crowd was stunned; this ordinary-looking teenager actually had some real fighting skills.

"Fine, fine, Sun Xinxin, you bitch! You dare send your pretty boy to hit me" Zhang Dazhu got up from the ground. "I'll get you... uh..."

Zhang Dazhu was sent flying several meters before crashing heavily onto the ground again; Xia Tian had kicked him once more.

This time, when Zhang Dazhu tried to get back up, he didn't say a word and ran out of the school gate as fast as a rabbit.

The crowd dispersed in an instant, clearly not wanting any trouble. Even the security guard quickly returned to his post as if nothing had happened.

Sun Xinxin stared blankly at Xia Tian; every time Zhang Dazhu came here causing trouble, she hoped someone would help her, and today was no exception. But each disappointment left her without hope that anyone would actually come to assist her. Yet unexpectedly, Xia Tian appeared and swiftly dealt with Zhang Dazhu.

For months, Zhang Dazhu's constant disturbances had worn her down both physically and mentally. She daydreamed about a real prince charming to save her, but nobody came. Recently, an older man driving a BMW offered to help solve the problem with Zhang Dazhu, though his condition was that she become his mistress underground.ast time to leave him alone; he really must be crazy. Even prostitutes don't need to be raped if you pay them, right""Husband, don't speak of Second Brother like that," Qiao Xiaoqiao felt a bit awkwar...
