Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#714 - Miao Apartment

These two petty thugs naturally posed no threat to Liang Yue.

Although they were just ordinary people, and only insignificant members of some gang among the countless inhabitants of America, Liang Yue ultimately decided to teach them a lesson to prevent them from continuing to do evil and threatening other people.

After all, one of them threatened with a gun, and the other coerced with a poisoned needle, clearly not intending to let him off easily.

Just imagine, if the target of this threat and injection had been the young girl, Guna, beside him, her entire life would have been ruined.

Moreover, judging from the other party's practiced routine, this shouldn't have been the first time they'd done something like this.

As the saying goes, 'If you don't uproot the weeds, they will grow again in the spring.'

So, Liang Yue removed their kidneys.

Then, as for their arms, he only symbolically smoothed the bone sockets a bit, so that whenever they wanted to make any big movements or exert force, their arms would habitually dislocate from their shoulders.

All of this happened silently and unnoticed.

In front of Guna and Fatty Chef, the two black-skinned men seemed to tilt their heads for no reason and collapse limply to the ground.

The scene seemed a bit eerie for a moment.

"Wait for my call."

Turning back to Fatty Chef, who had surprisingly not retreated back to the kitchen, Liang Yue left these words before pulling Guna away.

As for the wages she had earned working at the restaurant these past few days, neither of them mentioned it.

Soon, about twenty minutes later, he arrived at the door of an apartment where she lived, led by the young girl.

This was an old building, and the surrounding neighborhood wasn't very safe, mostly inhabited by foreign immigrants.

Everywhere was filled with various Latin American and Mexican immigrants.

But thinking about it, it made sense; those communities where people could afford to pay taxes to maintain a safe living environment were not places that Guna and others could currently afford to live.

Fortunately, the landlord here seemed to be decent. According to the young girl beside him, she was an elderly Miao woman who came from China decades ago and took good care of them.

The old woman's descendants seemed to be quite influential in the surrounding area and could keep things under control.

In short, it was fortunate that three young girls who had just graduated from high school and were about to enter university could find such a place by chance.

Walking into the apartment building's slightly dim and narrow lobby, an old woman with two braided pigtails was half-closing her eyes and knitting a sweater in the doorman's room next door.

Her gray hair, wrinkled skin, and thick clothing made her look listless, as if she was about to fall asleep.

However, from the other party's deceptive appearance, Liang Yue saw some clues.

This was a cultivator~

In America, where gene mutations, drug enhancements, and high-tech armor were common, this was rare enough.

Apart from the mages at the New York Sanctum, this was one of the few fellow practitioners he had encountered here with cultivation.

Of course, the path this old woman took was not the same as his.

In addition to a certain amount of magic power, there also seemed to be a ~ worm? ~ lurking in her body.

Perhaps it should be called a Gu~

Which was also very in line with the old woman's origins.

"Little Guna is back, oh~ and she brought a friend?"

The old woman, holding the sweater, narrowed her eyes and said with a kind smile.

"Grandma Rong, this is my classmate, we're all exchange students from China~"

Guna squatted halfway by the window and smiled at the old woman.

"Well, it's good to know someone, hehehe~"

The old woman said, looking at Liang Yue, her expression subtly changing.

Presumably, she either sensed the surging and vast energy in his body, or she might have seen some information about him through some channel.

After all, Liang Yue was now quite famous in New York, if not in the entire United States, at a certain level.

"Thank you for taking care of her these days. We are all fellow practitioners. Please accept this as a small gift."

With a flip of his sleeve, Liang Yue took out a small wooden jar of spiritual tea from his storage backpack and placed it on the table in front of the old woman.

"Sniff sniff~"

"Hmm~ This gift is too precious, this old woman can't accept it."

The old woman was obviously knowledgeable. Without any movement, she simply sniffed lightly and immediately felt the aura of heaven and earth emanating from the jar, and she said with a surprised expression.

"It's just a small token, just to build a good relationship. I've been in New York for more than two years, and I haven't seen many fellow countrymen."

Liang Yue said with a smile.

"Hehehe~ Then this old woman will reluctantly accept it. Alas~ This tea smells so right, it's been many years since I've had it."

Three girls squeezed into such a room, and even the most hygienic person wouldn't have a great living environment.

Sure enough, the moment the door opened, a mixture of sandalwood, the smell of alcohol and foot odor rushed in.

From time to time, a soft snoring sound could be heard in the air.

Guna noticed something and seemed a little embarrassed. She pressed him down on the sofa in the living room and quickly slipped into the bedroom.

A moment later, accompanied by a few screams and noises, two heads suddenly poked out from behind the bedroom door.

Both looked sleepy and disheveled.

"Liang Yue, you're here?"

"Is it really you?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect you three to get together."

"Surprise? Delight? Have you finally figured it out?"

"Figured out what?"

"What do you think?"

"Are you so sure that I want to take care of you?"

"I'll make you sure!"

...

As soon as she finished speaking, a cute, big-eyed girl from Ukraine, wearing only a loose camisole and shorts, ran out of the room. It was Tina.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, her legs around his waist, and jumped on him, whispering in his ear.

"I'm so tired~"

"Yeah, I can see that, there are dark circles under your eyes."

"It's from staying up late. I work in a tavern now, on the night shift. The environment there is okay, and the pay is decent, but it's not easy to save enough tuition. Many people are trying to take advantage of me. Fortunately, I bought a gun some time ago, but I feel like I can't hold on anymore. You won't abandon me, will you?"

As she spoke, Milava also walked over, sat on the armrest of the sofa, and gently massaged his shoulders with both hands.

"My side is even more dangerous. I was working at a coffee shop, and then, for some reason, a local Russian gang leader approached me. He used the recommendation quota from our embassy as bait to make me his mistress. I also feel like I can't hold on anymore."

"Why do you think I'm more reliable than others?"

Liang Yue looked at the two beauties helplessly, and Tina looked up and said to him.

"Because you are a good person~"

"He is not a good person..."

At this time, Guna also walked over from the room, wearing a cool negligee, sat on the other end of the sofa, snuggled up, and continued.

"When the three of us were still in school, we lived in the same dormitory. As graduation approached, we were all worried about our future plans. Because we all wanted to stay here, getting into university was the only way for us, but the road was full of difficulties, and the biggest problem we faced was money. And our first reaction at the time was to come to you, unanimously, it came from a kind of understanding and feeling, and~ trust."

"Hmm, your words are a little more pleasing to the ear~"
