Leading Xia Xiaodie into the main hall, they could finally see clearly what was going on inside.
"This..."
Xu Fan's gaze fell on a few young people who were arguing with the nuns of Yuehua Nunnery, and he couldn't help but be startled, then turned to look at Xia Xiaodie.
Both exchanged a look, each with an expression of having been struck by lightning.
It's not that they recognized these youngsters, they were just shocked by their attire.
"I never imagined that in such a remote place, one would encounter such noble aristocrats..."
"Pfft."
Seeing Xu Fan's face look as if he were disgusted to the core, Xia Xiaodie couldn't help but laugh.
Indeed, the outfits of these brothers were eye-wateringly impactful.
Explosive hairstyles, heavy makeup, garishly cheap suits, and a big gold chain around the neck, each feature scread the noble aura of the Zangai Family.
Having never dealt with such people before, Xu Fan took a deep breath, only then was he barely able to accept this kind of scene.
"Alright, wait here for ."
After giving Xia Xiaodie a word of instruction, Xu Fan walked over to the Zangai aristocrats in front of the donation box.
"Gentlen, what is the dispute about?"
As he approached, Xu Fan took the initiative to start a conversation.
The Zangai who were picking on the young nuns turned their heads to look at Xu Fan upon hearing him.
"Who are you, huh? You dare to ddle in the affairs of our Zangai Family?"
"..."
The one leading the group flung the colorful tufts on his head with a flourish, before giving Xu Fan a fierce look.
Xu Fan grinned awkwardly, and for a mont, he wasn't sure how to continue the conversation.
"They say our prayers aren't being answered and want to have their donated money returned..."
At this point, one of the intimidated young nuns explained weakly from the side.
The nuns knew the people of Jiuxi Town fairly well; these guys were the local layabouts.
Always calling themselves the Zangai Family, they weren't new to causing trouble at Yuehua Nunnery.
Just now, they had only put a crumpled five-yuan note into the donation box, and now they were shalessly claiming it was one thousand yuan, stirring up the argunt.
"This..."
After understanding the whole story, Xu Fan felt embarrassed.
These brothers were most likely out of money for internet cafes and thought to co here to swindle so cash.
One thousand yuan, don't they care about losing face for the Zangai Family?
"Um, how should I address you?"
Xu Fan's eyes landed on the leader, the one wearing a rose-red suit, and asked.
"Just call 'Top Grade'."
Top Grade introduced himself calmly to Xu Fan and then casually pulled at a loose thread on his suit.
"Ah, the quality control of these Italian handmade suits really isn't what it used to be..."
As he pulled, more threads ca loose, and it seed that if he continued this way, the cheap suit might just unravel completely there and then.
Top Grade lifted his eyes and looked indifferently at Xu Fan, saying, "What about it? You want to join our Zangai Family?"
"Cough cough! To join our Zangai Family, the fifty yuan mbership fee is a must."
Seeing the boss recruiting soone into the family, the lackey with the fake hair chid in eagerly.
"Young man, don't think fifty yuan is a lot, but once you join our Zangai Family, we guarantee that you won't be bullied in the nearby villages!"
...
Xu Fan was very embarrassed...
"That... Top Grade, how about we talk outside?"
Unable to match the lofty deanor of these brothers, Xu Fan took a breath and pointed outside.
"Fine, I'll settle the score with them later."
Seeing a potential new mber, Top Grade thought it wouldn't hurt to fleece Xu Fan of fifty yuan for the mbership fee before coming back to extort more money.
Thereupon, he followed behind Xu Fan and they both headed out of the main hall.
"Lord Cold, how impressive~"
At this mont, Xia Xiaodie approached, her face barely holding back laughter.
This delicate call of Lord Cold sent shivers down the spines of the non-mainstream gang.
With a plop, the cigarette hanging from their lips fell to the ground.
Top Grade!
Filled with those two words, Lord Cold's mind was blown—he had never expected Jiuxi Town to have such a breathtaking woman.
Now, his eyes landed on Xia Xiaodie's stunning face, and he simply couldn't look away.
"Lord Cold, I want to join your Zangai Family too."
"Hmm?"
Just then, Xia Xiaodie spoke up once more.
Upon hearing this request, Lord Cold couldn't help but straighten his back!
After all these years, finally, soone had seen the soulful and enchanting depths within him!
"..."
Overwheld with excitent, he was about to enthusiastically introduce Xia Xiaodie to the rules of the Zangai Family, and then personally design a proper look for a mber of the gang.
However, seeing Xia Xiaodie nestled against Xu Fan's shoulder like a gentle bird, Lord Cold's heart turned stone cold.
"Big dummy, we'll wear the couple's version of this together when the ti cos!"
Xia Xiaodie got playful, hugging her arms and pointing at the flashy wig on top of Lord Cold's head.
Xu Fan looked at her eager expression and couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
"Stop kidding around, we don't suit the Zangai Family's cold and elegant aura."
"Hmph, don't be like that, I want to wear it with you! You... you don't love anymore!"
"..."
Watching the two ridiculing lovebirds in front of him, Lord Cold felt a heartache.
Why wasn't such a woman nestling in his own embrace!
"Let's go outside and continue talking."
After giving Xia Xiaodie a look, Lord Cold suggested.
He then led Xu Fan outside the hall.
"So, friend..."
"Hmm?"
Intending to get rid of these non-mainstream posers quickly, Xu Fan hadn't expected that Lord Cold would start speaking proactively upon stepping outside.
"Friend, even though you lack the noble aura that's inherent in mbers of the Zangai Family, I can still train you."
"You don't have to pay the mbership fee, just let your girlfriend co with ."
"After all, a beauty only belongs to the strong."
"..."
It seed like he wanted to showcase a hero's lonely aura, Lord Cold struck a particularly flamboyant pose in front of Xu Fan.
A beauty belongs only to the strong, and that statent was certainly true.
Xu Fan massaged his temples, struggling to restrain the urge to smack soone, and said, "Lord Cold, you..."
"Don't interrupt !"
Before Xu Fan could finish, Lord Cold interrupted him with a wave of his hand, becoming passionately arrogant as he said, "Friend, have you ever ridden in a taxi with a starting fare of eighteen yuan? Have you ever been to an internet café that charges ten yuan per hour? Have you ever drunk a milk tea that costs ten yuan a cup?"
"No! Such experiences can only be understood by the nobility of our Zangai Family. Let go, you can't provide her the life she desires."
After finishing his speech, Lord Cold reached out a hand toward Xia Xiaodie.
"Co to , I'll make you the only Princess of the Zangai Family."
"Pfft."
Unable to bear it any longer in the face of this clownish display, Xia Xiaodie finally burst out laughing.
She playfully blinked her eyes and, tilting her head, looked at Lord Cold.
"Lord Cold, you're so slick; can you fly to the sky?"
