"Bullying a weak female in broad daylight... I simply couldn't stand by and watch."
The sharp, mocking laughter stopped abruptly. Zhu Qingqing snapped her head up to see the Beastmen who had been taunting her collapse to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
An old male was standing with his back to her, leaning on a cane. He turned, his expression kind. "Are you alright, little one?"
"I-I'm fine."
Zhu Qingqing stammered, "Th-thank you. What happened to them...?"
The old male said nonchalantly, "They've just been hit with my poison. They're only temporarily unconscious and will wake up in a little while."
Zhu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they weren't dead, it was fine.
This was the first time anyone had ever spoken up for her, and she was at a complete loss for what to do. The old male seemed to notice.
He chuckled. "No need to be nervous. I just can't stand to see them bullying the weak."
