Extraordinary Demon King Soldier

The dilapidated building, rusty windows, yellowing walls, and stinking garbage piled up in several corners, all appeared very filthy and chaotic.

In the center of this room, a middle-aged man with disheveled hair and a flushed face was looking fierce as he held a stick, mercilessly beating the woman beneath him, cursing incessantly.

The woman's body was covered with red and purple bruises, some already bloody patches, clearly indicating a severe beating.

Yet, despite the middle-aged man's cursing and the painful thrashing with the stick, the woman just clenched her teeth, curled up her body, and endured silently, allowing the beatings to continue.

Finally, seemingly tired of beating, the middle-aged man casually tossed the stick aside, then grabbed the woman and slapped her hard before releasing her and leaning against the wall, his face flushed, appearing somewhat intoxicated.

"That little brat came back without saying a word. Where's the money? Did you get the money today or not?!"

Turning his head, the middle-aged man saw Lu Shiqing standing by the door, and immediately started cursing at her, "If you didn't get the money, not enough for my drinking and gambling, I will beat the two of you, big and small, to death!!!"

Lu Shiqing looked at the middle-aged man and then at the woman trembling on the ground, her expression extremely complex. She bit her lip and finally took out the wallet she was gripping tightly in her pocket, handed it to the middle-aged man, saying, "The money is here."

"Money!"

Seeing the girl take out the wallet, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up with excitement. He walked over and snatched the wallet from her hand, "You little brat, more useful than your mother, it wasn't in vain that I spent so much money raising you."

He opened the wallet, took out all the bills inside, and drunkenly staggered out of the room, "I'm going out to gamble and make some money!!!"

"Mom, are you okay."

Watching the middle-aged man leave the room, Lu Shiqing turned her head to see the blood-soaked woman lying on the ground. She then walked over to the woman, helping her up, her expression very complicated.

"I'm fine."

The woman shook her head, but her haggard face and uncontrollably trembling, bloodied body couldn't hide her true condition.

Seeing the woman's state and reflecting on that middle-aged man's drunken, fierce demeanor, Lu Shiqing's gaze was full of pain.

Perhaps it was her poor luck at birth; she ended up in such a family. Her father was a bad-tempered, gambling-addicted man who would beat people at the slightest disagreement, especially after drinking, beating even more brutally, while her mother just let her father beat and scold her, enduring everything silently.

With such a father, Lu Shiqing was practically beaten up by her dad from a young age. If it weren't for her mother protecting her each time and taking many beatings for her, she might have been beaten to death long ago.

Although she survived and grew up, she didn't even have the chance to go to school, being forced by her father to the streets, into other people's stores, to steal items and money for him to buy alcohol and gamble.

Moreover, he threatened her, saying that if she couldn't steal something or money, not enough for him, he would brutally beat her and her mother half to death.

Because of this, even though she stole a wallet today filled with red bills, she didn't dare to spend a single cent, bringing it all back and handing it to her father.

Only in this way could she buy some more time before the money ran out, during which her father wouldn't come back to lay hands on them.

Every time she thought about being born into such a family and her predicament, Lu Shiqing felt some pain, yet she had no ability to change her situation.

Her only hope was that the situation wouldn't get worse, hoping nothing unexpected would happen, and that would be good enough.

Even though living like this was very painful and harsh, at least she was used to it, wasn't she?

However, sometimes the more you don't want things to happen, the more they come thick and fast.

Just as Lu Shiqing helped her mother up and onto the bed, ready to apply some medicinal wine to ease her injuries, suddenly, there was a loud noise from outside as if something hit the door!

And then, following that was a burst of noisy, cursing voices.

Did something happen downstairs?

Lu Shiqing froze for a moment, a bad premonition rising in her heart.

After hesitating for a bit, Lu Shiqing made up her mind, walked to the door, and prepared to open a crack to see what was happening outside downstairs.

If anything went wrong, she could immediately shut the door and hide inside.

But as Lu Shiqing just opened the door, revealing a small crack, a hand suddenly reached through and grabbed the door.

Shocked, Lu Shiqing tried to slam the door shut with all her might, but she didn't have enough strength. Before she could close it, the door was violently flung open!!!

"Little girl, we finally found you!!!"

Then, coming into view were a group of fierce-looking thugs, dragging a bloodied middle-aged man, glaring fiercely at Lu Shiqing, "Stole from our boss, and really thought you could escape our grasp? In Jiangnan City, there's no one we can't find!!!"

Watching these fierce thugs, Lu Shiqing's face instantly turned pale.

She instantly saw that the bloodied man in the thugs' hands was her gambling-addicted father, who just took her money and was preparing to go out drinking and gambling.

And these fierce men were obviously the subordinates of the middle-aged man whose wallet she had stolen not long ago.

There, standing among these fierce thugs, was the very man she had stolen the wallet from, coldly looking at her.

It's over...

The girl's face already couldn't hide her panic.

After Ye Qiu drove those thugs away, to be safe, she deliberately circled around before coming back, trying to shake off anyone trailing her.

She had used this trick countless times without fail.

But unexpectedly, this time, she was still found by these people!!!
