"Will the four officials have a meal or stay overnight?"
"stay."
"Gentlemen..." The waiter glanced at Feng Fei and then asked, "How many rooms do you gentlemen require?"
Feng Fei instinctively asked for two rooms, but Yuan Jue surprisingly interjected, "One room, the four of us are a family."
The waiter couldn't help but look embarrassed. He realized he had misjudged the situation. Seeing the adult man and woman not appearing particularly close, he assumed they were just ordinary friends, never expecting them to be husband and wife. He immediately apologized profusely, saying, "I was truly blind; please forgive my rudeness, sir and madam. May I ask what kind of room you would like?"
The waiter looked at Yuan Jue, but found that the man was no longer speaking, so he turned to Feng Fei.
Feng Fei rolled her eyes at Yuan Jue before saying, "Let's have a superior room. We'll go upstairs and settle in first. Please have the waiter bring us food and hot water."
"Alright!" the waiter called out loudly, and then led Feng Fei and the other three to their room upstairs.
Upon entering the room, Feng Fei collapsed onto the table as if he had lost his bones.
"I'm so tired!"
How tired are you?
"So tired, so tired!"
"..." Yuan Jue completely ignored Feng Fei's reaction, walked to the clothes rack on the side and naturally took off his outer clothes, wandering around the room in only his white inner clothes.
"Knock knock knock"
There was a knock on the door, and Mingfeng went to check it. The waiter who had led them upstairs was carrying a tray with several small dishes on it, followed by a younger waiter carrying a food box.
"The food has been served, please enjoy your meal." After retreating to the door, the waiter asked again, "When will you bring hot water for the officials?"
"About half an hour later."
Seeing the waiter leave, Feng Fei called over, picked up Xue Tuan, and brought her to the table. "Yuan Jue, Ming Feng, dinner is ready."
"Um."
Yuan Jue responded lazily and drifted over.
Feng Fei rolled her eyes. Who was she trying to impress with that act? Honestly.
No one spoke at the dinner table, and soon all the food was eaten up.
Feng Fei patted her belly contentedly, revealing a satisfied expression, and Xue Tuan sitting next to her showed the exact same expression. Anyone who didn't know better would definitely think that Xue Tuan was Feng Fei's child.
"Mingfeng and I are going out for a walk. You take Xuetuan and go wash up first!" Yuanjue picked up Mingfeng and walked towards the door.
Before long, the waiter who was seeing the guest off brought hot water.
Feng Fei first helped Xue Tuan take off her clothes and put her in the water before taking off her own clothes.
Although Xue Tuan is only the appearance of a three or four-year-old child, she is, after all, a manifestation of the spirit spring and is naturally associated with water. Feng Fei is not afraid that she might cause any trouble while playing in the water.
As he slowly entered the water, the warm water washing over his skin made every pore on Feng Fei's body open instantly.
"Hmm~"
He couldn't help but groan; it felt so good.
Fengfei first helped Xuetuan wipe her body. Xuetuan would touch Fengfei's arm for a while, and then grab the flower petals in the water and throw them up to play.
Seeing that his childlike spirit had been awakened, Feng Fei couldn't help but join in the fun, and soon the room was filled with laughter and joy.
Suddenly, Xue Tuan froze, a tense expression appearing on her face. Feng Fei immediately sensed that something was wrong in the room.
He abruptly rose from the water, grabbed the clothes hanging on the screen and wrapped them around himself. He also picked up the snake-bone whip lying to the side, his body tense to the extreme.
Suddenly, a silver light, seemingly from nowhere, pierced through Feng Fei's shoulder. If Feng Fei hadn't dodged in time, it would have struck her heart.
This is trying to kill her!
Unable to contain his rage, Feng Fei raised his snake-bone whip and lashed it several times in the air, which finally made the attackers back down.
At this moment, Xue Tuan, dressed, came to Feng Fei's side. Seeing Feng Fei's bleeding shoulder, her expression changed drastically. She quickly drew a circle with her right hand, and a drop of milky-white liquid appeared out of thin air, gently applying it to Feng Fei's injured shoulder. Soon after, the bleeding stopped.
Clutching at Feng Fei's sleeve, Xue Tuan looked around warily. Although she was young, it didn't mean she was ignorant.
It's clear that someone wants to take Feng Fei's life tonight.
Xue Tuan was extremely anxious. Although she had managed to transform into human form, she had virtually no combat power; all she possessed was the ability to heal wounds. She wondered when Ming Feng and Yuan Jue would be able to return.
Feng Fei's tension grew even more pronounced. Although Xue Tuan had stopped the bleeding from her wound, the healing process was still too slow. The injury to her right shoulder prevented her from unleashing the full power of the Snake Bone Whip. It seemed that if she survived tonight's ordeal, she would have to practice her left-hand attacks more diligently in the future.
Suddenly, another strange sound rang out of nowhere in Feng Fei's ears.
Feng Fei suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded.
Unexpectedly, someone was skilled in sound attacks. Feng Fei couldn't believe that anyone wanted to kill her; this encirclement and these methods left her with no way to fight back.
Just as Feng Fei and Xue Tuan's defenses were breached by the sound, the silver light from before reappeared, this time aimed directly at Feng Fei's heart.
Feng Fei watched in horror as the silver light drew ever closer, trying to dodge but finding herself completely paralyzed, even her consciousness fading. The person who unleashed the sonic attack was astonished to see Feng Fei only slightly dizzy. An ordinary person would surely die instantly from this sonic attack, bleeding from all seven orifices; even someone at the first level of the Innate Realm would instantly lose their fighting ability and become easy prey. But he hadn't expected a mere girl at the seventh level of the Acquired Realm to withstand it. Could her soul power be comparable to that of someone at the first level of the Innate Realm?
Before he could even process this thought, the person who had attacked with sound realized that his lower body had been sent flying. Only then did he realize with horror that he had been discovered without his knowledge, and that someone had used a method he couldn't even sense to slice him in two!
Before anyone could even offer a warning, the person who launched the sonic attack was utterly annihilated.
Just as the silver light was about to reach Feng Fei's heart, he suddenly fell to the side as if struck by a heavy blow, followed by a muffled groan from the roof.
The next moment, the man was kicked in from the roof and fell heavily to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
At this moment, Feng Fei slowly recovered from his unconsciousness. Upon seeing the man on the ground, his expression immediately turned fierce. He scooped up the snake bone whip and lashed it straight at the man. If the whip had actually struck the man on the ground, he would have died instantly.
If it were someone else, they would definitely stop Feng Fei, and might even be able to find out something from him.
But Yuan Jue was different; his eyes flashed with a chilling light. Ming Feng stood to the side, his face also filled with a sinister expression.
The person on the ground was struck by Feng Fei's snake bone whip and died instantly.
Feng Fei seemed to only come to his senses at this moment, staring blankly at the dead man on the ground, remaining silent for a long time.
Finally, Yuan Jue couldn't hold back any longer. He slowly approached Feng Fei, embraced her, and gently stroked her back until she gradually relaxed before saying, "There will be no shortage of bloodshed on this road. You have to learn to get used to it."
Feng Fei slowly lowered her head, hugged Yuan Jue tightly, and after a while slowly loosened her hands, saying in a hoarse voice, "I will adapt as soon as possible."
The room fell silent. Mingfeng went to hug Xuetuan, who was also very frightened.
After a long silence, Feng Fei suddenly asked, "Do you know who sent them?"
Yuanjue neither denied nor admitted it.
Seeing that Yuan Jue remained silent, Feng Fei slowly left Yuan Jue's embrace.
"It's Angelica dahurica."
"Um."
Another silence fell.
"Isn't there anything to explain?"
"No."
Silence again.
Feng Fei hugged his injured shoulder and approached the window, slowly pushed it open, and took a deep breath into the deep night.
"I'm keeping a record of Bai Zhi's account, and I'll settle it gradually later."
"Okay, I'll help you."
"I don't need it, I'll do this myself."
"Okay, you do the math."
Feng Fei then turned to look at Yuan Jue, a faint smile on her face. "I suddenly understand your feelings, so I don't want to let you down. What do you think?"
"That's definitely the best."
Yuanjue and Fengfei exchanged a smile, while Mingfeng and Xuetuan were completely bewildered, wondering what kind of riddle the two were talking about.
"Mingfeng, burn this corpse!" Fengfei glanced at the person she had whipped to death on the ground with disgust, her heart slowly hardening.
Mingfeng rolled his eyes. He might be good at playing with fire, but he was a divine beast after all! How could he do something so low-level?
Just as he was about to refuse, he saw Xue Tuan looking at him pitifully with tears in her eyes, saying, "Brother Mingfeng, burn it, I'm scared to look at it."
Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman, and Mingfeng was no exception.
Immediately, Mingfeng threw a ball of fire at the corpse on the ground, which burned to ashes in an instant.
"Brother Mingfeng is amazing!"
Mingfeng's usually serious face immediately broke into a silly smile.
Chapter Seven: Reencounter with the Li Family's Two Treasures
Perhaps wanting to cheer Feng Fei up, Yuan Jue kept teasing Feng Fei after Ming Feng cleaned up the filth.
Yes, teasing.
He would occasionally flash Feng Fei a seductive smile, or open his inner garment to reveal his fair and muscular chest, certain points threatening to blind her. Feng Fei covered her face, pinched her nose, afraid that if she continued to look, she would either fall on top of Yuan Jue or bleed to death from her nose.
After much deliberation, nothing seemed to be going well, so Feng Fei simply closed his eyes and sat on the couch to cultivate.
But is Feng Fei really cultivating?
Suddenly, she secretly opened her eyes, only to see Yuan Jue's completely naked upper body, and immediately covered her nose. Or perhaps she was pretending to be thirsty, and when she got up to pour herself a glass of water, she secretly glanced at Yuan Jue, who was lying languidly beside her, and her throat bobbed involuntarily.
Mingfeng and Xuetuan watched Fengfei and Yuanjue's interaction with amusement. However, since the two little ones didn't need to cultivate all the time, they simply took over the big bed and slept soundly.
After Mingfeng and Xuetuan fell fast asleep, Feng Feiyou breathed a sigh of relief, because the two little ones had been staring at her every move, as if they wanted to see right through her.
Seeing that things had gone far enough, Yuan Jue stopped teasing Feng Fei. He straightened his clothes slightly, making sure not to reveal too much, before sitting upright on the couch and closing his eyes to rest. Seeing that Yuan Jue was serious, Feng Fei could no longer so brazenly covet his good looks. Regaining her composure, Feng Fei also sat back down on the couch to cultivate. She was no match for Yuan Jue; her cultivation was far more profound.
The next day, Feng Fei woke up from his meditation and looked around. Yuan Jue was no longer in the room, while Xue Tuan and Ming Feng were still fast asleep on the bed.
