118: Chapter 118 Mu Siyao's Shield?

"Damn it..."

It took a good long while before Qin Feng squeezed a classic curse through his teeth, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

What kind of nonsense is this?!

Just a moment ago, he had been posturing in front of Gou Changgen, swearing up and down that he lacked no resources and would never step a foot outside the Sect.

And now, his scamming Revered Master had directly forced a mission on him to go out and hunt a Yao Beast?! And it was at Qi Refining Level 5!

His current surface cultivation had just reached the Second Level of Qi Refining. Even with the Heavenly Tyrant Body, struggling against a Yao Beast known for its defense and speed across three minor Realms was definitely a thankless task!

The most critical thing was that this arrangement completely went against his original intention of using the System to safely woo girls and level up!

"I'm already used to people being scammed by their fathers. But a Revered Master who scams their own Disciple? This is the first time I've ever seen one!"

Qin Feng covered his forehead and couldn't help but sigh up at the sky.

Could he refuse?

In an instant, he quickly replayed the "Hehuan Sect Outer Sect Rules Manual" in his mind, only to sadly discover that he could not!

The Hehuan Sect had explicit rules: a Revered Master's orders are paramount! As a Personal Disciple enjoying the Sect's highest level of resource allocation, he had to unconditionally obey the trial missions arranged by his Revered Master. Once he disobeyed, the light punishment was the deduction of all resources, and the heavy punishment was the abolition of his cultivation and expulsion from the Sect!

"Damn it, Hongxia, you just wait. Once I, your lord, grow in strength, I will make you pay this debt back double sooner or later!"

Qin Feng gritted his teeth and threw this threat into the air, having no choice but to accept the cruel reality.

With heavy steps, he followed the mountain path back to the cluster of courtyards arranged in a 'product' shape on the mountainside where he lived.

It was noon, and the sun was bright.

However, before Qin Feng could walk to his courtyard gate, a noisy argument erupted from not far ahead, breaking the tranquility of the Outer Sect residential area.

"Senior Sister Mu, no matter what, you have to give us brothers an explanation today!"

Qin Feng looked up.

He saw that on the small plaza not far from his residence, Mu Siyao, the "Advanced Green Tea" who had just taught him a lesson yesterday, was being blocked by two men wearing Outer Sect Disciple attire, one on each side. It looked like she was being cornered for a debt.

The male Disciple on the left looked like a bamboo pole—skinny and bony with high cheekbones—named Ma Gan;

The one on the right was burly and thick-set, his face full of flesh, and his eyes flashing with undisguised lecherous light, named Liu Biao.

Both had cultivation around Qi Refining Level 5, and they were glaring at Mu Siyao with anger and impatience.

"An explanation? What explanation?"

Facing the two men's blockade, Mu Siyao did not seem flustered at all.

Today, she was wearing a water-red tight-fitting dress, which perfectly outlined her slender waist and stunning curves.

At this moment, she had her arms crossed over her chest, her exquisite face full of innocence, and her watery peach-blossom eyes blinked as if she had suffered a great grievance.

"Junior Brother Ma, Junior Brother Liu. With your aggressive Aura, anyone who didn't know better would think I owed you tens of thousands of Spirit Stones. Let's talk nicely." Mu Siyao said coquettishly, her voice so soft and glutinous it could make one's bones go limp.

"Mu Siyao, stop playing dumb with me!"

The tall, thin male Disciple named Ma Gan clearly wasn't buying it. He stomped his feet in anger and pointed at Mu Siyao's nose, questioning angrily: "We made it very clear yesterday! You accepted a valuable gift of a full one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones from us brothers, and it was agreed that you would 'play' properly with us today!"

"And what happened?! You dragged us to a teahouse in the market, made us sit there for two hours, drank two cups of lousy tea, and then just wanted to walk away? Where in the world is there such a cheap deal!"

Ma Gan grew angrier as he spoke, his eyes turning red.

One hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones, for Outer Sect Disciples like them without a background, was an income saved up over more than a month. They had hoped to use this opportunity to get close to a beauty, but who knew they wouldn't even touch a hair.

"That's right, didn't I drink tea with you?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Siyao not only felt no guilt, but instead lifted her chin slightly and asked righteously: "Isn't drinking tea playing together?! Haven't we been chatting quite happily for these two hours? I even praised your muscles for being well-trained, Junior Brother Liu!"

"You...!"

Ma Gan was almost vomited blood from her bizarre logic, "Senior Sister Mu, isn't that a bit immoral of you?! The 'playing' we wanted is that kind of playing! Do you understand?!"

Liu Biao next to him also immediately chimed in, his fleshy face trembling violently with anger: "Exactly! Mu Siyao, what kind of place is our Hehuan Sect? Everyone knows! The playing we talked about is deep-interaction playing. You scammed us out of one hundred Spirit Stones just for drinking some lousy tea, doesn't your conscience hurt?!"

"Not at all."

Mu Siyao shrugged naturally, answering as if it were only natural: "I always charge this price for accompanying people to drink tea. That's the market rate, fair and honest. What's wrong? You were the ones who insisted on treating me to tea. If you couldn't afford it, you should have said so and not invited me..."

Speaking up to this point, a trace of well-concealed disdain flashed in the depths of Mu Siyao's eyes.

"But what we agreed on was clearly playing..."

Liu Biao was sweating from anxiety and stepped forward, his thick arm about to reach out towards Mu Siyao's shoulder.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't get handsy!"

Mu Siyao nimbly retreated half a step, dodging the lecherous hand, and sneered, continuing to display her impeccable green tea artistry: "Isn't sitting there drinking tea and chatting considered playing? Do you call that Cultivating? You guys are hilarious! It was you who didn't clearly understand the definition of 'playing', and now you're blaming me? If you want further 'playing', that depends on whether you have the sincerity and strength, understand?"

Not far away, Qin Feng, with his arms crossed over his chest, watched this farce with great interest and almost couldn't help but applaud Senior Sister Mu.

This woman's thick skin and bandit-like logic were simply a wonder of the Immortal Realm!

Being able to describe getting a free ride so freshly and refined, and displaying the essence of a gold-digger so righteously, she was definitely a talent.

"Mu Siyao, you won't shed tears until you see the coffin today! Since you accepted the money, you must accompany us today, whether you want to or not!"

Ma Gan and Liu Biao completely lost their reason. The humiliation of being played for fools made their anger burn. The two looked at each other, and the Qi Refining Level 5 True Qi in their bodies roared into operation.

Just at this moment of tension.

Mu Siyao's peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of Qin Feng standing at the corner of the courtyard, in a posture of watching a good show.

A flash of light shone in her beautiful eyes, and she immediately pointed her slender finger without hesitation directly at Qin Feng not far away.

"You two, stop making trouble here. My Dao Companion is here, I can't be bothered to talk nonsense with you!"

After saying that, she didn't give Ma Gan and Liu Biao any time to react.

Like a swallow returning to the forest, Mu Siyao took small, quick steps, carrying a burst of fragrant wind, and trotted straight towards Qin Feng.

"Eh?"

Qin Feng hadn't reacted to what this woman was trying to pull, when a rich scent of powder and perfume rushed towards his face.

Immediately after, Mu Siyao naturally pressed against him, her slender, soft arms tightly clutching Qin Feng's strong right arm.

She leaned most of her body weight on him, and when she looked up, her charming face was instantly covered with a sweet and dependent smile.

"Husband, you finally returned. These two people are pestering me like flies, it's so annoying..."

Mu Siyao acted coquettishly, her voice loud enough for the two people behind to hear clearly.

Qin Feng raised his eyebrows in confusion.

This woman, not only does she change her face faster than flipping a book, her acting skills are absolutely superb. Yesterday she called him poor and shabby, today to block a disaster, she calls him Husband?

However, feeling the amazing softness and elasticity coming from his arm, and the lingering fragrance around his nose.

Based on the principle that only a fool wouldn't take advantage of a bargain, Qin Feng hooked the corner of his mouth into an evil, charming smile.

Since the beauty had taken the initiative to throw herself into his arms, there was naturally no reason to be polite.

"Is that so? Don't be sad..."

While speaking, Qin Feng's left hand naturally wrapped around Mu Siyao's slender waist, his fingers even giving it a firm squeeze without leaving a trace!

"Ying..."

Mu Siyao's body stiffened suddenly, a flash of annoyance in her eyes, but hindered by the two people behind, she could only force herself to endure it, while also having to cooperate and put on a shy look, burying her face in Qin Feng's shoulder.

"You...!"

Ma Gan and Liu Biao, who had chased over, watched as Mu Siyao obediently snuggled in the arms of a strange pretty boy, even allowing him to take liberties.

Their eyes instantly turned blood red, the fire of jealousy almost burning their reason away completely, their hands clenched until their knuckles turned white, their teeth grinding with a "clack" sound.

"Let's go, darling, let's go back to the room to play."

Qin Feng didn't even give the two trembling cannon fodder a second glance, directly embracing Mu Siyao's soft waist, and walked swaggeringly towards his courtyard amidst a display of intimacy that made the two behind them grind their teeth in hatred.
