8: Chapter 8: An unexpected encounter with a beautiful woman, Yu Jingxiang.

The Servant District is a place where the strong prey on the weak. What is fate? Strength is fate.

As long as he can step over the threshold to Cultivate, let alone a thorny Bai Yuhe, even if she were a tigress, Qin Feng felt he would have to grit his teeth and pull her teeth out tonight!

"Creak—"

After thinking it through, he didn't hesitate anymore. Qin Feng violently pulled open the dilapidated wooden door.

Cold wind poured in from outside, and Bai Yuhe took the opportunity to softly fall into Qin Feng's arms.

A smell mixed with the scent of blood and cheap face powder rushed into his nose.

"Brother Qin... I knew you were kind-hearted and wouldn't just watch me freeze to death outside..."

Bai Yuhe's tears fell like broken beads, her pitiful appearance making one's bones go soft.

"Sister Bai, come inside first."

Qin Feng scooped her up horizontally, walked quickly to the hay mat in the corner, and wrapped a quilt around her shivering body.

Afterward, he turned and walked to the fire, putting the half-pot of spirit rice and beast meat porridge from earlier back on the fire to heat up.

Before long, a rich meaty aroma permeated the narrow straw shed.

"Hungry? Eat something to warm yourself up first." Qin Feng held a chipped coarse porcelain bowl and handed it to the woman.

Bai Yuhe looked at the large chunks of beast meat and crystal-clear spirit rice in the bowl, a flash of uncontrollable shock appearing in her eyes.

A Menial Laborer can eat this? This kid really struck it rich?!

"Thank you... Brother Qin, you are so good to me..."

Bai Yuhe's eyes were slightly red as she took the porcelain bowl and drank it in small sips. As the hot porridge went down, the pallor on her face gradually faded, replaced by an alluring flush.

While eating, she intentionally or unintentionally opened a corner of the quilt wrapped around her, revealing her plump shoulders, and her body leaned closer and closer to Qin Feng.

"Brother Qin, you don't know how ruthless that beast Chen Xiaodao was. I've been with him for so long, yet he wanted to kill me just because of a few words..."

Bai Yuhe complained aggrievedly, raising her teary eyes, the alluring tear mole looking especially bewitching under the firelight. "I've finally seen through it. In the Servant District, only you are a good man..."

Qin Feng sat to the side, feeling the astonishing softness coming from her arm, his breathing gradually becoming heavy.

He was naturally a hot-blooded, normal man. Not only had he filled his stomach over the last two days, but the Qi and blood in his body were at their most vigorous state; how could he withstand such undisguised, deliberate flirting?

Whether this woman had really been beaten tonight or had come to throw herself at him with some ulterior motive, it didn't matter to Qin Feng anymore.

The System-rewarded Body Cleansing Pill was right in front of him; he'd be a fool not to eat the fat meat delivered to his mouth!

"Sister Bai, since you've seen through it, don't think about him anymore."

Qin Feng didn't stand on ceremony at all. He took the empty bowl from her hand and threw it aside, his sturdy arms directly wrapping around her slim, water-snake waist.

"Ah..." Bai Yuhe let out a cry of surprise, her body stiffening for a moment.

Before she could react, Qin Feng had already lowered his head, dominantly and roughly kissing her two bright red lips.

"Mmph..."

Bai Yuhe widened her eyes, clearly not expecting the little Menial Laborer who had avoided her like the plague during the day to be like a different person, so direct and bold.

...

At dawn, the morning light shone through the cracks in the door into the straw shed.

Qin Feng woke up in a daze, feeling sore and aching, but his spirit was exceptionally excited.

Turning his head to look, Bai Yuhe had already gotten up.

She was wearing one of Qin Feng's oversized coarse cloth shirts and was virtuously squatting by the fire, boiling new porridge. There was no trace of last night's fear and sadness on her face; instead, it exuded a nourishing, astonishing charm.

"You're awake?"

Hearing the movement, Bai Yuhe turned her head, smiled gently, and walked to the bed with a bowl of steaming porridge. "Drink it while it's hot."

"Mm." Qin Feng took the bowl, looking at her with a complex gaze.

Bai Yuhe sat on the edge of the bed, extended her slender fingers to help Qin Feng tidy up his messy hair, looked at him with lingering affection, and whispered softly: "Little Feng, I thought about it all night. I have completely broken things off with Chen Xiaodao. From now on... from now on I won't go back. I will follow you with all my heart. Even if we have to stay in this broken straw shed every day, I am willing to live a shameless life with you."

Last night had made her completely witness the young man's physique and potential. Whether it was true or not was hard to say, but the words sounded very natural.

Just as she was declaring her loyalty...

"Buzz—"

In Qin Feng's mind, the cold mechanical voice arrived on schedule:

[Ding! Detected that the host has successfully taken in Bai Yuhe.]

[Task completed. The reward, a Low Grade Body Cleansing Pill, has been issued to the System space. Please check!]

Listening to the heavenly sound of the System notification, Qin Feng's heart couldn't help but race. How could he have the mind to play at being lovey-dovey with the woman in front of him?

He now only had one thought in his mind: find a place where no one would disturb him, take the medicine, Cultivate, and achieve a Breakthrough!

"Ahem... Sister Bai, we'll talk about the future later. You stay here for now and don't run around."

Qin Feng downed the porridge in a few gulps, brushed her off with a few words, grabbed his clothes, and walked out. "I still have to go out and find some work today, and see if I can get some more food back."

"Hey, Little Feng..."

Bai Yuhe wanted to say something else, but Qin Feng had already dashed out of the straw shed like a gust of wind, not even looking back.

Watching his hurried back, Bai Yuhe bit her red lips, a flash of suspicion crossing her eyes, but at the thought that the secret would eventually be hers, her mouth couldn't help but hook into a triumphant smile.

...

Qin Feng left the straw shed and circled the outside of the Servant District twice like a thief.

He wandered until noon, and after confirming that absolutely no one was following him, he found an opportunity to dive into the dense forest on the outskirts of the Luanzang Mountain Range and slipped into the hidden cave where the spirit tangerine tree was hidden.

Pushing aside the poisonous vines and crawling into the cave, a rich fruity fragrance immediately hit his face.

Qin Feng took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and moved his mind.

The next second, a black Medicinal Pill, round all over and emitting a faint medicinal fragrance, appeared out of thin air in his palm.

"Low Grade Body Cleansing Pill, it's finally my turn to turn things around."

Qin Feng whispered, and without any hesitation, he tilted his neck and threw the Body Cleansing Pill into his mouth.

The Medicinal Pill melted upon contact, turning into a scorching torrent that surged crazily down his throat into his limbs and bones!

"Ah—!"

Intense pain instantly swept through his entire body. Qin Feng's legs went weak, and with a "thud," he knelt on the muddy ground, clenching his teeth hard, a beast-like low roar emitting from his throat.

He felt as if his blood had boiled. Under the impact of the immense medicinal power, his bones emitted "crack, crack" explosions.

Body Cleansing, as the name implies, is to remove the Impurities from the Mortal flesh!

Accompanied by the severe pain, layers of foul-smelling black filth began to ooze out crazily through his pores, sticking stickily to his skin.

I don't know how much time passed, but the severe pain in his body finally receded like the tide, replaced by an unprecedented sense of comfort and lightness.

Qin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.

He clenched his fist violently, and a faint sound of an air explosion was heard in the air!

"This is power..."

Qin Feng excitedly felt the surging Qi and blood in his body, his mouth grinning to his ears.

There are nine Realms for a Mortal to Cultivate into an immortal. The first three Realms are Body Refining (Skin Refining, Flesh Refining, Tendon Refining), the middle three Realms are Bone Refining, and the last three Realms are Meridian Opening.

At this very moment, relying on the tyrannical medicinal power of this Low Grade Body Cleansing Pill, he not only stepped into the threshold of Cultivation in one go but also broke through the first and second Realms of a Mortal, arriving directly at the third stage of a Mortal, Tendon Refining Major Achievement!

Reaching the third stage meant that as long as he took one more step forward and became a Martial Artist of the middle three Realms, he, Qin Feng, would be qualified to apply to the Management Hall to become a Middle-tier Servant!

Of course, the premise of having strength was also being able to afford the money to purchase a courtyard and spirit fields.

The moment he thought about having his own independent courtyard after becoming a Middle-tier Servant, not having to go to the spirit mine pit to die every day, and being able to openly raise his own woman...

Qin Feng was so excited that he trembled all over. The benefits of a transmigrator were finally coming.

"Good days should be my turn now."

He waved his fists excitedly, but soon, a pungent stench brought Qin Feng back to reality.

Looking down, his whole body was covered in a layer of sticky black Impurities, which was a hundred times more disgusting than falling into a cesspit.

"I need to find a place to wash up quickly."

Qin Feng pinched his nose, casually pulled down thirty golden spirit fruits, wrapped them in a cloth bag, turned around, and crawled out of the cave.

He remembered that deep in this dense forest, there was a hidden cold pool that no one had set foot in for years.

Relying on the footwork of a third-stage Mortal, Qin Feng's speed through the forest was several times faster than before. In less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, he heard the sound of flowing water ahead.

Pushing aside the waist-high weeds, a crystal-clear, bone-chilling water pool appeared before his eyes.

"So refreshing!"

Qin Feng scanned the surroundings, confirmed that there wasn't even a ghost around, immediately threw the cloth bag on the bank, ripped off his stinking clothes in a few movements, and jumped into the water pool with a "thud," naked.

The ice-cold pool water instantly enveloped his whole body, washing away the filth.

The physique of a third-stage Mortal made him completely immune to this kind of cold. He swam happily in the water for two laps, scrubbing the black mud off his body.

Just when Qin Feng had his eyes closed, enjoying the aftertaste brought by the Breakthrough.

"Splash—"

Less than five meters away from him, the water surface suddenly broke with a splash.

A soaking wet woman, like a lotus flower emerging from water, suddenly drilled out from the bottom of the water!

Qin Feng was startled by the sound of the water, opened his eyes subconsciously, and his whole body instantly froze.

That was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her early thirties, with extremely bright and magnificent facial features. At this moment, she was panting heavily, and because she had just come up from holding her breath underwater, her chest was heaving violently.

Water droplets slid down her fair, slender neck, disappearing into the breathtaking scenery.

The most fatal thing was that the other party seemed to be here to bathe as well, and she was dressed very skimpily.

Yu Jingxiang?!

Qin Feng recognized her at a glance, and his brain went "buzz."

This woman was not someone to be trifled with. She was a Middle-tier Servant in the 666th Servant District. In the past, Ji Boxiao had liked this woman, but she hadn't looked at him.

Just as Qin Feng was staring blankly, Yu Jingxiang, who was wiping the water droplets off her face, also noticed the abnormality in front of her.

She suddenly raised her head, her line of sight crashing directly into a man's eyes.

Eyes met, and the air seemed to freeze completely at this moment.

"Lowly scum, what are you peeking at!?"

Stunned for only half a second, Yu Jingxiang's stunningly beautiful cheeks turned crimson, and unmasked fury erupted in her eyes.

She slapped the water surface violently, and borrowing the force of the rebound, she pounced toward Qin Feng in the water like an angry leopard!

"It's a misunderstanding, I didn't know there was someone in the water!"

Qin Feng was shocked, but his body's instinct reacted a step faster.

Facing the palm that Yu Jingxiang smashed through the air, Qin Feng didn't close his eyes and wait for death like before, but instead raised his right arm violently, the Qi and blood power of a third-stage Mortal erupting instantly.

"Bang!"

The two arms collided fiercely underwater, splashing water into the sky.

A flash of shock passed through Yu Jingxiang's eyes. She had thought the other party was just a Menial Laborer to be slaughtered, but she hadn't expected this palm to be blocked head-on!

Moreover, the strength of the kid in front of her was surprisingly great.

"Peeking at someone bathing, and you dare to fight back? You're courting death!"

Yu Jingxiang was enraged. Her pair of slender and powerful long legs kicked violently underwater, attempting to use scissor legs to strangle Qin Feng.

"Crazy woman, are you unreasonable?"

Qin Feng was also angry. The power after Body Cleansing gave him confidence. Instead of retreating, he tangled up with Yu Jingxiang's offensive.

The two fought fiercely in the chest-deep cold pool.

Because they were both in the water, they couldn't unleash their Moves, and the battle quickly evolved into the most primitive close-quarters grappling.

Slippery skin rubbed constantly, and the violent movements made the pool water churn endlessly.

Relying on the brute force of a third-stage Mortal, Qin Feng actually entangled with Yu Jingxiang, whose strength was superior to his, for several minutes without falling behind.

Just as the two were in a state where their hands were tightly locked on each other's shoulders, their thighs were mutually resisting each other underwater, and they were in an extremely deadlocked and ambiguous posture.

"Go check that water pool over there, what's that noise!?"

Outside the dense forest in the distance, a sudden burst of noisy footsteps and men's shouting came.

Listening to the sound, there were at least four or five people approaching quickly.

Yu Jingxiang's body stiffened suddenly, her enraged brain instantly sobered up. She felt the skin of the two tightly attached underwater at this moment, and Qin Feng's strong masculine aura, her cheeks turned red to the earlobe in a "whoosh."

She had a man, and if she were discovered in this state, the consequences would be troublesome...

Seeing the footsteps getting closer and closer, and even being able to hear the "splash" of pushing aside the bushes.

Yu Jingxiang only felt her heartbeat accelerate. She suddenly let go of her hands, covered Qin Feng's mouth tightly with one hand, and her whole body softened and pressed up, shrinking most of their heads under the shadow of the reed bushes.

"Stinky brat, stop."

She leaned into Qin Feng's ear, breathing like an orchid, her voice as thin as a mosquito but carrying extreme warning and shame: "Shh, don't make a sound, someone is coming."
