Chapter 672: Chapter 0672 We Are All Martial Artists!

"I mean, ladies, we’re here to hunt for treasure, can you not focus on the scenery around us?"

Li Xiaoli, who was closely following behind Xiaobai, complained without turning her head.

Liu Mengting and Xia Wei’er exchanged glances, then stopped discussing and hurried to catch up.

Tang Ming, with his hands in his pockets, glanced over his shoulder in a certain direction and chuckled as he followed the three women.

The fairy tale area consisted mostly of cultural buildings and decorations, a combination of various fairy tale blocks, where some tourists wandered through the blocks taking photos and searching for treasure, yet were so captivated by the dazzling fairy tale backdrops that it was difficult to locate the supposed treasure.

Before long, Xiaobai led the four of them across several fairy tale blocks to the area themed "The Emperor’s New Clothes," where a corpulent king, naked yet crowned, was seated on a throne receiving the adoration of his subjects. To the king’s left stood two richly dressed, smirking middle-aged women holding a plethora of jewels and silks, and to his right stood a likewise naked little boy, pointing at the king and poised as if to speak.

A few young people were taking photos with the wax figures, and Xiaobai stopped nearby, tilting his head towards Li Xiaoli and the others.

"Did you find the treasure?"

Li Xiaoli looked excitedly at Xiaobai, "Hurry up and take the treasure out."

"Hold on."

Tang Ming stopped Li Xiaoli, reminding her, "Didn’t you see there are people taking photos? Let’s wait until they’re done."

"Is the treasure here?"

The two men and one woman who were taking photos overheard Li Xiaoli’s words and were instantly startled, then forgetting about their photos, they started searching meticulously in every corner.

"Oh no, they’ve discovered it. What if they find the treasure before us?"

Li Xiaoli fretted, wringing her hands incessantly.

"It’s all because you talked too fast. Even if they really find it, we can only blame our bad luck,"

Liu Mengting reproachfully glared at Li Xiaoli.

"Let me see which picture the treasure here resembles."

Xia Wei’er, on the other hand, pulled out a map, checking the photos printed on the back of it.

"Yes, yes, yes, we can study it first."

Li Xiaoli immediately leaned over, started comparing her own photos, and tried to see if any of the treasure’s backgrounds matched the scene before them.

"It seems there’s no match at all!"

After a moment, Liu Mengting shook her head disappointedly.

Tang Ming squinted his eyes and scrutinized the surroundings meticulously. Despite his memory and analytical skills, he couldn’t figure out where the treasures might be hidden.

"Searched for so long, found nothing."

A young man dressed in sportswear complained with a disgruntled face.

"This place is only so big; it’s simply not possible that there’s treasure here."

Another young girl rummaged for a long time among the jewels and silks held by the two charlatans, but those items were just decorations, not something you could take away, let alone the treasure.

"Let’s give up, we can’t find it."

Another young man with dark skin, wrapping an arm around the girl’s waist, looked at Tang Ming and the others, "Gentlemen, since you said there’s treasure here, you guys look for it."

"Hehe, I think they’re just bluffing. There’s no treasure here at all."

The girl sneered mockingly, saying they had been playing here all day and had just searched thoroughly but had not seen any so-called treasure.

"If you can’t find it, it just means you’re not capable, but that doesn’t mean we can’t find it."

Li Xiaoli sharply retorted the girl’s mockery.

"Beauty, you talk big. Aren’t you afraid of being embarrassed later?"

The guy in the sports outfit sneered, squinting his eyes. He had noticed these three beauties earlier, and if it weren’t for seeing a guy with them, he would have approached them sooner. Now that they were talking, it was the perfect chance for him to make his move.

"We’re awesome because we’ve got the skills. Unlike some people who have no skills yet can’t stand others being amazing."

Li Xiaoli looked at the three people in front of her with contempt.

"Brother Hai, she just called us idiots."

Hearing this, the girl clung to the arm of the man with a dark face, acting coquettishly non-stop.

"You’d better watch your mouth, or you might regret it."

Gao Hai warned blandly, narrowing his eyes.

"Clearly, someone can’t control their own mouth, and now they’re even threatening us. Oh, I’m so scared."

Li Xiaoli dramatically pressed her hands together, then looked pitifully at Tang Ming, "Brother Tang Ming, someone is trying to bully us, what should we do?"

"Cough cough, it’s good enough if you don’t bully others,"

Tang Ming muttered softly, touching his chin.

"Beautiful lady, don’t get me wrong. We’re martial artists, and we disdain to bully ordinary people like you."

The sporty guy smiled and introduced himself, "My name’s Gao Yang. This is my brother Gao Hai, and his girlfriend Liu Fang. May I know your names?"

"Martial artists?"

Hearing this, Liu Mengting quickly pulled Li Xiaoli to Tang Ming’s side. They couldn’t believe they had randomly met a few martial artists so easily—such "good luck."

Tang Ming paused. Li Xiaoli had already mentioned his name, but the three people in front of him apparently had never heard of him. That meant either they were from out of town, or they were low-level martial artists from Songlan City who weren’t privy to the affairs of the higher tiers of the martial arts community.

"So what if you’re martial artists? You didn’t find the treasure either."

Li Xiaoli scoffed disdainfully and said impatiently, "If you guys aren’t gonna search any longer, just get out and don’t delay our treasure hunting."

"How dare you! Do you know who you’re talking to?"

Liu Fang’s expression turned cold as she arrogantly said, "As martial artists, we’re much more noble than you ordinary people. Plus, we’re much stronger. Even we can’t find the treasure, which means there’s no treasure here."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ming and others had bizarre expressions on their faces. Among their group, except for Xia Wei’er, who was a normal person, the rest seemed to have rather valuable identities. Tang Ming was even at the top of the martial artist pyramid of Songlan City, yet these people in front of them were putting on airs—it was truly... blind to their surroundings.

"Heh, since you’re so incredible, how about we make a bet?"

Li Xiaoli squinted her eyes, smiling.

Seeing Li Xiaoli’s smile, Tang Ming and the others knew someone was about to get swindled.

"Sure."

Gao Yang, clearly interested, said with a smile, "Let’s bet on whether you can find the treasure here. If you can’t find the treasure, then beauty, you’ll have to spend the night with me, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Ming’s expression turned cold. He hadn’t expected Gao Yang to be such a lecher. He would definitely not gamble a girl’s dignity.
