"What do you all think of her looks?" Xiao Feng asked.
"..." The wealthy folks were momentarily stunned, then began pouring out compliments as if they were free.
"This young girl is clearly a beauty in the making!"
"She looks so delicate now; when she grows up, she's bound to be a stunning beauty who could topple nations."
Xiao Feng frowned, seemingly dissatisfied, and said, "Hmm?"
The wealthy folks immediately fell silent, exchanging glances. How did they manage to compliment her incorrectly?
"Let me remind you, I've got a grudge against this person. Don't be deceived by her decent appearance; she's full of wicked intentions," Xiao Feng said blandly.
Upon hearing this, the tone of the wealthy folks immediately changed.
"I knew it, this kid looks like a crooked melon, and she's bound to remain unmarried when she grows up."
"Exactly, small eyes, big mouth, a flat nose with a pronounced forehead—change her clothes and she'd be the witch from a cartoon."
Xiao Feng burst out laughing, "Don't worry, if there's a lucrative deal, you'll be the first I find."
The wealthy folks exchanged glances, realizing that insulting this little girl's looks had benefits?
Immediately, they became more enthusiastic, launching a 365-degree assault on her appearance, with some offering particularly witty jabs.
No one noticed that the little girl's eyes grew colder and that her grip on the wine glass tightened.
Had there been silence, one might have clearly heard a cracking sound, but the wealthy folks were too caught up in their conversation to notice.
"Crack!"
A crisp cracking sound acted like a period for the wealthy folks' chatter.
Everyone stared dumbfounded at the little girl, unharmed, who had just crushed a glass in her hand, their minds going blank.
"Would you dare repeat what you just said?"
Lin Jiaxuan's cold gaze swept over the faces of the wealthy folks, her tone devoid of any emotion.
The wealthy people immediately fell silent, a strange anxiety creeping into their hearts, as if uttering another word would lead to something terrifying.
The atmosphere turned awkward; the wealthy folks didn't know whether to speak or remain silent, just standing there like fools.
"Get out of here!" Lin Jiaxuan shouted furiously.
The wealthy folks glanced at Xiao Feng, hurriedly taking their leave.
Xiao Feng nodded in satisfaction, "Finally got rid of those people."
"Xiao Feng brother, if you found them annoying, why didn't you just tell me? I could have driven them away," the little girl complained.
Xiao Feng pinched her cheek, speaking softly, "Doing something that offends people isn't suited for you."
"But it's suitable for me to do?" Lin Jiaxuan protested.
"Isn't it obvious?" Xiao Feng retorted, "Didn't you see they left when you shouted at them?"
"Alright!" Lin Jiaxuan laughed in anger, "You'll see!"
Xiao Feng shook his head, "No, you should wait; you're my servant girl, I'll have you do things sooner or later."
Lin Jiaxuan was about to explode when Zhao Guo'an chuckled and said, "Stop arguing. A good show is about to start."
Everyone paused, their eyes scanning around, soon realizing what Zhao Guo'an meant by "a good show."
Bi Junxian was already in the hot spring, his bare arms and head exposed above the water, his face full of contentment.
Before long, several girls followed him into the hot spring. While not exceptionally beautiful, these girls were the daughters of the wealthy families present.
They sat on either side of Bi Junxian, eagerly chatting, but Bi Junxian responded indifferently, showing little interest.
This was quite normal; just as people wanted to curry favor with Xiao Feng, some wished to associate with Bi Quan.
As Bi Junxian was Bi Quan's only son, he was undoubtedly the best entry point.
"Does Young Master Bi have a girlfriend?" asked the girl nearest to Bi Junxian, pulling her arms close to accentuate her cleavage.
"No." Bi Junxian replied tersely.
The women exchanged glances, eyeing each other with hostility.
"Have you thought about what type you're looking for?" another girl sitting on the opposite side inquired.
"No." Bi Junxian's response was still just one word.
The girls in the hot spring were starting to feel unhappy; after saying so much, he only answered with one word?
The bolder one boldly proposed, "Since Young Master Bi doesn't have a girlfriend, how about trying to get along with us?"
"Not interested." Bi Junxian frowned, already getting impatient.
Yet the girls weren't about to give up, asking questions while trying to show off their best qualities.
Bi Junxian, growing increasingly frustrated, finally opened his eyes and murmured, "You've surely heard the rumors about me outside, right?"
Someone quickly chimed in, "Those are just misunderstandings. Even ordinary people get talked about, let alone a young, wealthy man like Young Master Bi. A bit of gossip is normal."
"There's no misunderstanding." Bi Junxian said seriously, "I'm just not interested in women, so don't waste your time on me, OK?"
After saying this, he closed his eyes.
The girls exchanged glances; some looked upset, clearly not ready to accept this.
But some remained unruffled, as if thinking it wasn't a big deal at all.
Some even looked excited; not liking women was great, as they could each do what they liked after marriage!
Just then, a "gurgling" sound rang out.
The girls looked around, discovering bubbles rising from behind Bi Quan.
Anyone who'd been to a bathhouse would know that this is what happens when someone farts in the water.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Two girls, seemingly quite close, hurriedly left the hot spring hand in hand.
But the other girls stayed put, clearly not ready to give up.
Half a minute later, the girls sitting on either side of Bi Junxian in the hot spring started to lose composure.
Because the bubbling situation hadn't stopped and even seemed to be escalating, which obviously couldn't be explained by mere farting.
Who could continuously fart for thirty seconds, with increasing intensity?
"Do you... smell something weird?" someone asked quietly.
"I think I can smell it too; it's smelly and really unpleasant."
At this moment, a girl further away suddenly screamed, "Ah!"
This scream immediately grabbed everyone's attention, the women looking at her in confusion, unsure why she cried out suddenly.
"Look... at the water... the surface of the water." The girl who screamed pointed with a grim expression at a greenish oily substance floating up.
The girls exchanged looks, glancing at Bi Junxian, who was still bubbling, and then at the weird-smelling unknown substance on the water, suddenly feeling like they understood something.
And at this moment, Bi Junxian opened his eyes, noticing that the girls on either side were looking at him with astonished expressions.
