The leading man gave his two companions a look.

The chubby uncle retreated a few steps with a dark expression.

The woman in red bit her lip and put away her weapon.

“A misunderstanding.” The man explained. “My name is Yan Qingwen, and these are my companions Su Man and Lu Ang. They speak rather crudely, but mean no harm. Calling this young lady disabled… there was no insulting intent.”

He paused for a second, then smiled faintly and said: “Besides, this young lady is indeed disabled, isn’t she? How should we say it to show we haven’t offended you?”

Bai Youwei smiled and called out loudly: “Wow, look everyone, there’s a fat pig here! Just like a charred old pig’s trotter!”

The chubby uncle: “You!…”

Bai Youwei looked completely innocent as she asked: “Oh, how should I say it to avoid offense? He’s inherently a fat person! And that… blind tomboy?”

“What did you call me?!” The woman in red glared furiously.

“Called you blind.” Bai Youwei smiled sweetly. “You opened your mouth and said I live off men—how are you so certain it’s not me supporting these men?”

Shen Mo: “…”

Tan Xiao: “…”

Cheng Weicai: “…”

“Even if I do live off men, what’s it to you?” Bai Youwei found it amusing. “Did I eat your family’s rice, or steal your man?”

The chubby uncle couldn’t help but say: “Your mouth is way too vicious, young lady! We say one thing about you, you snap back with over a dozen! Don’t think we won’t take action just because you’re a woman!”

“Go ahead!” Bai Youwei slapped her hand on the toy gun, her eyes full of murderous intent. “Kill you all, and I’ll conveniently take over the puzzle pieces on your bodies!”

At the mention of puzzle pieces, the three people’s expressions immediately turned sharp, watching them vigilantly.

Those who knew about puzzle pieces were nine times out of ten people who’d entered the maze, and those who’d entered the maze had enhanced physical abilities—such people absolutely couldn’t be underestimated.

The atmosphere became tense, both sides silently and tensely facing off.

Shen Mo glanced indifferently at Bai Youwei, then looked at the man leading the other side, saying calmly: “Apologize. Although you have weapons, those things aren’t necessarily more useful than items.”

Yan Qingwen looked at Shen Mo, then finally looked at Bai Youwei.

Bai Youwei nonchalantly played with the toy gun in her hand.

Yan Qingwen’s lips curved slightly upward with a half-smile: “…Fine, we were discourteous first. I’ll apologize to you on behalf of my two companions. Now, may we leave?”

Shen Mo made a “please” gesture.

The chubby uncle and the woman in red still had resentful expressions on their faces, but in the end they said nothing more, swallowing their anger and following behind Yan Qingwen as they left.

After the people walked far away, Shen Mo turned around and tapped Bai Youwei’s forehead.

“Stop making threats in the future. Are you trying to stir up trouble?”

Saying things like killing people to take over their puzzle pieces scared Teacher Cheng until his face turned pale on the spot.

“I have to be harsh to scare them.” Bai Youwei rubbed her forehead, speaking earnestly. “Some people just love to bully the weak and fear the strong. The tougher I am, the more wary they become, and they won’t dare act recklessly~”

Tan Xiao nodded repeatedly: “Weiwei’s right. Brother Mo, when we roam the world, momentum is very important!”

“…” Shen Mo didn’t want to argue with two “children.”

“Look, they seem to be making a trade with those people.” Bai Youwei said with great interest.

When the conflict between the two sides occurred earlier, some onlookers had appeared near the crossroads, as if they had a prior agreement with those three people, carrying boxes of various sizes.

Those three handed over a gun and some ammunition, then carried back several boxes.

“What could it be…” Bai Youwei watched the departing figures, somewhat curious.

“It’s gasoline.” Shen Mo said.

Bai Youwei looked at him: “How do you know?”

“I smelled it.” Shen Mo said flatly. “Besides, other than gasoline, I can’t think of anything more valuable than guns and bullets.”

After a pause, he said in a low voice: “Our gasoline is almost used up too.”
