In the northeastern corner, two seedy men were trying to sell Ecstasy pills to a group of teenagers who looked underage.
Not far from them, in a corner where the light couldn't reach, two women dressed in revealing clothing and heavily made up were sitting on the laps of two men who looked like gangsters, with their chests bare.
They were wildly shaking to the rhythm of the music. On the other side, several young girls with immature looks sat on chairs, staring blankly and shaking their heads frantically, drool dripping from their mouths without them even noticing.
Next to them, a group of delinquent teenagers with dyed hair and tattoos on their arms were groping the girls under their skirts.
"Hey, handsome, how about buying me a drink?"
A charming and seductive voice suddenly sounded in Li Yun's ear. He turned his head and saw a beautiful woman who had sat down next to him without permission.
He replied impatiently, "Sorry, I don't have the habit of buying drinks for people."
"You'll get used to it, handsome," the woman said, shifting her body closer to him. "Miss, I prefer to drink alone. I hope you won't disturb me," Li Yun's face turned cold.
"Humph!" The woman finally stood up, walked away discontentedly, and muttered under her breath, "Fool!"
Watching the woman leave, Li Yun gave a helpless smile. This was already the third young girl who had approached him. He wondered why he hadn't been so popular with girls before.
In fact, after breaking through to the second level of the "Fist Classic," his energy and spirit had changed, and he now exuded an intangible charm that had an irresistible effect on women.
Li Yun smelled himself to see if he had the kind of strange fragrance that attracts women, as described in some erotic novels, but of course, he found nothing.
Feeling that the place was too noisy, Li Yun got up and left. He didn't go to find Ma Kai. In this situation, it was already a great favor that someone was paying the bill. He wouldn't be so inconsiderate as to disturb their fun.
Exiting the Caesar Palace, Li Yun saw a row of neatly parked taxis by the roadside. The doorman waved and hailed a cab for him. Li Yun nodded, got in, closed the door, and the taxi drove away.
When he arrived at the Lotus Community, Li Yun paid the fare and watched the taxi leave. He turned around, about to leave, when suddenly, a bright red sports car screeched to a halt beside him.
Before he could react, the car door was flung open with a bang, and Li Yun was knocked to the ground. A nimble figure leaped out of the car. Li Yun, who had not been injured, quickly got back on his feet.
The woman who emerged from the car was holding a Tang Dynasty-style knife. The bright blade added a touch of heroic spirit to her presence, but Li Yun could sense a murderous aura emanating from her.
Even before she approached, he caught a whiff of a pleasant fragrance—like orchids or musk, faint yet captivating, making him want to grasp that elusive, intoxicating scent.
Yōu Yǐng II, a globally limited-edition perfume, priced at $300 an ounce. Li Yun accurately identified the brand of the perfume she wore. He couldn't help but look at her differently; this woman was truly wealthy!
Wait a minute, she seemed familiar. Where had he seen her before?
Her flowing hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and Li Yun felt his eyes brighten as he saw her face, a face that was both lovely.
Her well-defined eyebrows framed her autumn-water eyes, with long, slightly curled eyelashes that made her dark, lively eyes incredibly enchanting.
Her straight, delicately carved nose was like a work of art, and her moist, soft lips had a gentle sheen, making one want to kiss them.
Her naturally beautiful face, without any makeup, was incredibly delicate and stunningly beautiful!
A beauty, an absolute beauty! A woman of extraordinary temperament! And she was very young, probably in her early twenties at most.
Li Yun felt a bit dazed, and his eyes widened. He never expected a face to be so beautiful, dazzling, and heart-stirring.
Suddenly, two figures lunged at the woman. They left only a blur in the air.
If it weren't for Li Yun's recent leap in strength, he would have just seen a flash before his eyes. But to him, two burly, expressionless men were wielding large machetes and chopping down at the woman.
Seeing how skilled the men were with their knives and how exquisite their moves were, Li Yun couldn't help but worry about the woman. However, she was no weakling. Her Tang knife spun, creating a whirlwind of blade light.
There was a series of "clangs" as metal struck metal. In the blink of an eye, the three of them had exchanged more than a dozen moves under Li Yun's watchful eyes.
That's right, he had seen this woman in the gym before. Her name was Lin Jingya, and she was a yoga instructor.
If it had been just one man, Lin Jingya might have been able to handle it. But two men with skills on par with hers were too much for her to deal with.
In one moment of inattention, Lin Jingya let out a muffled groan as a deep gash appeared on her shoulder, and blood immediately flowed out.
All of this happened in an instant. Li Yun glanced at the injured woman, then suddenly leaped forward with a powerful leg sweep, kicking one of the men away.
He paused for a moment, reappeared beside Lin Jingya, and chopped at the wrist of the other man who was swinging his blade. The knife fell to the ground.
At the same time, he reached out and wrapped his arm around Lin Jingya's slender waist, running away with her.
Lin Jingya, whether due to excessive blood loss or some other reason, collapsed into Li Yun's arms after being held by him.
The Lotus Community had a complete set of supporting facilities. Li Yun ran with Lin Jingya to the Lotus Heart Park and found a dark corner to hide in.
With a "rip," Li Yun quickly tore a strip of cloth from Lin Jingya's clothing and skillfully wrapped it around her wound.
In the dim night, the two burly men quickly chased after them. However, the scene outside the Lotus Community had already alerted the security guards. They didn't dare to come out but called the police.
A moment later, the sound of police sirens wailed. One of the men frowned and said, "Damn it, she got away."
The other man remarked, "I wonder who that guy who suddenly appeared was. His skills were incredibly high. They say there are many hidden masters in the civilian world. Today, I'm truly convinced."
With the police on the scene, knowing they wouldn't get anywhere today, the two men wisely chose to leave.
