Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

Chapter 375: Goony

"You are not people from this village, correct?" A man who seemed to be the leader of the three spoke up defiantly.

He was stood three tables away from their table and with sword on his waist, he looked Xiao Tianyao condescendingly.

Senja sighed, the mood to discussing about the matter with another Senja evaporated. She had read many scenes about this with the same line of question. So, she didn't need to guess what will happen next.

"Because both of you enter our village without permission, you need to pay tribute to us."

Senja stole a glance from the edge of her straw hat while enjoying her meal. The three men were obviously goons of the village. Based on what they wear that seemed like a gunny sack rather than clothes, they were not the vicious one of course.

**Nothing important about their threat then** Senja thought and glanced over at Xiao Tianyao who was as calm as ever, shrugging her shoulder she continued to eat.

"You need to pay us or" The man showed off his sword that was hanging on his hips threateningly. Yet, before he could finish his word Xiao Tianyao fished out something from his robe and threw it to them.

The small object landed on the man feet graciously, but Xiao Tianyao made it looked like a mocking gesture for him.

"Did you just give them money?" Senja asked him sullenly. She looked at the pocket money that Xiao Tianyao gave to them and from the size, it was quite a lot. "That is a lot you know?" She hissed.

Well, she was a thief herself, it was irony if she let some poor goons were robbing their money right before her eyes.

Her conscience couldn't afford that

"Let it be, I am too tired to fight them" Xiao Tianyao said as he lazily picked up his bowl again.

"You are too generous." She quipped.

"Thank you."

The goony who talked earlier didn't appreciate Xiao Tianyao's generosity. Moreover none of them looked intimidated by him.

It was humiliation!

He kicked the pocket money to the two men behind him as he marched toward Senja and Xiao Tianyao's table, yet he stopped himself five meters away upon receiving Xiao Tianyao menacing glared.

He didn't know why, but something on this man was terrified him. Unfortunately, his haughtiness got the best of him. Stupidly he ignored his instinct.

"Do you think that messy money is enough!?" He shouted at Senja and Xiao Tianyao, however he didn't dare to take another step closer.

Senja leered at him, "Oh, please. How can he live without a brain?"

Xiao Tianyao chuckled when he heard Senja's irritated comment. He meant it when he said that he was too lazy to deal with those people, but he was looking forward the reaction of the girl in front of him.

She was fuming now and it has been quite a long time since someone managed to infuriate her.

"See? You can't be so generous to people like them." Senja continued to complain while Xiao Tianyao only shrugged his shoulder and continued to eat.

Being ignored, the man hit the table nearby with his sword to get Senja and Xiao Tianyao's attention.

How dare they take no notice about his presence? He was standing there with sword on his hand, but they turned blind eye and deaf ear.

"I am talking to you!!!" He shouted again.

Senja couldn't take it anymore. At first, she thought to let them be like what Xiao Tianyao had said and didn't make a fuss over it, though it challenged her conscience as a thief to be robbed in the middle of broad light.

But, this goony seemed didn't know how to be grateful.

Senja abruptly stood up and kicked her chair while doing so. "Continue your meal." She said toward Xiao Tianyao.

"Alright," Xiao Tianyao said languidly, but his eyes followed Senja every moved with mirth.

The girl marched with steady step and Xiao Tianyao didn't need to see the rest of the scene when he heard the three of them screamed in anguish, he continued to eat his meal like what Senja had ordered him.

"Sir, don't you want to help her?" The old lady who owned the restaurant approached Xiao Tianyao, she looked worry when she saw Senja was facing three men who were bigger than her.

Xiao Tianyao glance at the fighting scene and shook his head. "She will be fine, she need this to vent out her ire."

His statement made the old lady left in dismay, but when she looked over at Senja again, she understood and left him with helpless smiled. Strange couple

It took sometime before Senja finished the three men off and retrieved the pocket money that Xiao Tianyao had thrown earlier.

She sat back on the chair across of him with arrogant smile etched on her lips. "This your money! I get it back for you." Senja said proudly as she put the pocket money on the table.

"Thank you," He curtly said, but the next word he said was able to knock down the smugness from Senja's visage. "I wondered what took you so long, I thought you need help."

Senja big smiled decreased into scowled. "Said a man who was sitting and enjoying his meal."

"You told me so." Xiao Tianyao retorted and gave her lopsided smirked.

**Oh, right I said it.** And Senja did the only thing that she could do right now, glared at his beaming smile.
