684: The laws of the Xuanhuang Realm

Seeing the shopkeeper back down, the few men became even more arrogant, their voices growing louder and louder. Many customers left the restaurant without even finishing their meals.

Soon.

Only four or five tables remained in the originally bustling restaurant.

Just then, one of the five men pointed at Su Chen and the two women in the corner, then nudged the burly man beside him.

"Big Brother, look, there are two exquisite beauties over there."

The burly man immediately looked towards the corner. When he saw Ancestor Wu and Mu Xin, his eyes instantly became incredibly fervent. He directly picked up a wine pot and walked towards Su Chen's table.

"Little beauty, hello."

The burly man still pretended to be polite, a kind smile on his face, but the wickedness in his eyes could not be hidden at all: "May I buy you a drink? Just consider it making a friend."

The other four also came over, their smiles somewhat ill-intentioned.

Mu Xin frowned slightly, her eyes filled with killing intent. Just as she was about to act, Su Chen stopped her. According to the Laws of the Great Qian Empire, one could not kill people casually here.

Since they were here, they should follow the local customs and rules.

Su Chen turned his head to look at the burly man, then smiled: "Scram!"

The smile on the burly man's face immediately vanished. He stared intently at Su Chen: "Kid, are you talking to me?"

Su Chen nodded: "Yes, you trash."

...

The remaining people in the restaurant fell silent. Su Chen looked so kind, but what he said was so... arrogant.

The burly man's eyes immediately erupted with astonishing ferocity. The bloody smell grew denser, making him look somewhat terrifying.

"Kid, are you looking for death?!"

The four people beside him immediately surrounded Su Chen, as if they were about to make a move at any moment.

Mu Xin looked at Su Chen with some strangeness. She didn't understand why Su Chen still hadn't dealt with these insignificant small fries, but she continued to watch.

Su Chen covered his nose, his expression full of disgust: "Are you a pig butcher? Such a strong smell of blood."

Uh.

The others in the restaurant were dumbfounded again. These five men looked troublesome, yet he dared to say such things. Was he really not afraid of trouble?

Su Chen continued: "Can you move aside? This smell is really disgusting. Why are you surrounding me? And glaring? Go on, hit me."

As Su Chen spoke, he directly put his face forward, looking like he was asking for a beating.

Damn it!

The burly man's fists were clenched tightly, wishing he could punch Su Chen to death, but he still didn't strike. His expression was somewhat distorted, as if he was desperately trying to suppress his inner rage.

Especially when Su Chen put his face close, the veins on his neck bulged.

"Hmph, coward."

Seeing that they didn't dare to act even like this, Su Chen sat back down and continued eating.

Mu Xin, however, looked on strangely. Why did they really not dare to make a move?

The burly man took a deep breath: "Good, good, you just wait."

With that, he prepared to turn and leave.

According to the Great Qian Law, assaulting others and causing minor injuries results in a ten-year sentence, serious injuries a five-hundred-year sentence, and a fine.

If someone is accidentally killed, there are two types of penalties: malicious murder results in the death penalty, while accidental manslaughter leads to imprisonment for a period determined by the individual's Realm.

Accidental manslaughter also depends on the circumstances. For example, self-defense that accidentally results in death will not be prosecuted. This type of accident refers to killing someone unintentionally during a brawl.

Although it won't be the death penalty, they will be imprisoned until death.

In reality, it's more painful than a direct death sentence.

The other people in the restaurant saw that the burly man really didn't cause trouble, and all raised their eyebrows slightly, their eyes full of strangeness. These five men looked vicious, but in reality, they were just so-so.

Mu Xin asked curiously: "Husband, what's going on?"

According to her understanding, these men would surely make a move next, but Mu Xin sensed that there seemed to be an invisible force restricting these five men, preventing them from acting.

Su Chen asked with a smile: "Did you encounter Blue Star back then?"

Blue Star?

Mu Xin immediately nodded, but then she suddenly realized something: "Laws?"

At that time on Blue Star, there were many countries, and each country had its own Laws. Very few people committed crimes, and the country was peaceful and its people prosperous.

Su Chen smiled and nodded: "That's right."

"The Great Qian Empire was cultivated by me and also has its own Laws, which are strictly enforced. So these people don't dare to act, because if they really did, they would face severe punishment."

He had also seen through them long ago; these people were just paper tigers.

They looked fierce on the surface, but in reality, they were just cooks in a Family. The reason why they had such a strong smell of blood was because they were doing the lowest-level work of cooks.

That is, killing Yao Beasts, cleaning, and other such tasks.

Hence, they were covered in the smell of blood.

Mu Xin was enlightened; so that was it.

Because of this incident, when the burly men paid their bill later, they insisted that the shopkeeper reduce their bill by two hundred Spirit Stones. The shopkeeper was naturally unwilling, but the burly men began to act shamelessly. In the end, the shopkeeper had no choice but to reduce their bill by one hundred Spirit Stones.

Even if the Sky Patrol Division arrested them for such hooliganism, it would probably only be a reprimand and education, not a very serious crime.

He truly had no way to deal with such ruffians.

In the following days, Su Chen took Ancestor Wu sightseeing and helped her adapt to the pace and rules of this world, after all, with her strength, she would be devastating to the Xuanhuang Realm.

So Su Chen didn't want her to affect this world.

Ancestor Wu was also very sensible, constantly assuring him that she would definitely not cause trouble and would strictly abide by the rules of this world.

Su Chen then let her go play by herself, while he took Mu Xin to travel around the Xuanhuang Realm. He had to admit, compared to the Law of the jungle, dog-eat-dog world of the Myriad Realms, this place was simply a breath of fresh air.

Here, everyone lived in peace and contentment. Although there were still Demonic Cults and some evildoers, they were extremely rare, and most people could live peacefully.

The tranquility here made Mu Xin enjoy it immensely. She loved this world free from strife.

Here, there was no need for fighting and killing; one only needed to experience life.

"Husband, when your matters are concluded, shall we stay here, okay?"

As the sun set, their figures stretched long. Mu Xin leaned on Su Chen's shoulder, gazing into the distance, her eyes full of hope.

Although Su Chen had never told her what he carried, Mu Xin knew that he definitely had his own things to do.

"Okay."

Su Chen's tone was firm; he was also looking forward to this day...
