Exiting the alley, Xiao Feng glanced down at the time.

8:40.

Although it was winter, there were still quite a few people on the street at this time.

Certainly not as lively as the monthly temple fair, but there was still quite a bit of foot traffic.

Counting the lampposts as he walked forward, Xiao Feng found that by the time he reached the fourth one, there was no one beneath it.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed a note stuck on it: There are too many people here, keep walking along this road, when you don't see anyone, you'll meet me.

The signature in the lower right corner was still a flower blooming in the storm.

"Rip!"

Xiao Feng tore the note off, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Being stood up like this was definitely irritating, but it might also be a deliberate attempt to lure him far away before taking action against the people in the courtyard.

However, having already informed Lin Zhiyan ahead of time, Xiao Feng put his heart at ease and continued walking forward.

After walking for over ten minutes, there were no longer any shops on either side of the road, and a stone arch bridge appeared ahead.

Crossing the arch bridge, there was a stretch of forest before him, completely devoid of lighting.

Just then, a crisp bell rang out.

"Dingling… dingling… dingling…"

Xiao Feng looked ahead to the left and saw a young girl with bright eyes and white teeth emerging, wearing a beautiful flower crown on her head and two bells tied around her ankles.

"Why are you just getting here? I've been waiting for you for a long time." The girl complained while biting into a candied hawthorn.

"Did Bi Quan send you?" Xiao Feng looked wary, sizing up the girl.

Though she looked harmless and was quite a beauty, who knew if this appearance wasn't just a disguise to lower one's guard?

Take Lin Jiaxuan for example, anyone who hadn't interacted with her would never have believed that a pretty young girl like her could snatch someone's life in an instant.

Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes showed clear confusion: "Who's Bi Quan? I don't know him, first give me back my arrow."

Saying this, she extended her pale hand forward.

Xiao Feng's gaze sharpened, and he immediately struck first, throwing a punch.

The girl immediately got angry, not only did you not return the arrow, but you also dared to hit me?

At once, she didn't care about anything else and quickly withdrew to create distance, pulling an arrow from the quiver on her back, tossing it with an effortless, fluid motion.

"You're so rude, I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

With a sweet shout, the girl rushed toward Xiao Feng following the arrow.

"Swish!"

The sharp sound of the arrow cutting through the air came closer, and Xiao Feng quickly dodged aside, narrowly avoiding it.

"Snap!"

The fierce impact of the arrow directly snapped a tree as thick as a grown man's wrist in half, showcasing the girl's immense strength.

Seeing the girl charging towards him, Xiao Feng didn't dare let his guard down, immediately pulling out a dagger hidden in his boot, ready for action.

However, unexpectedly, upon seeing Xiao Feng draw his dagger, the girl abruptly stopped, displeased: "Do you even understand fairness? I'm unarmed and you're using a weapon?"

"…" Xiao Feng.

The girl before him seemed to have a few screws loose.

Wait!

Xiao Feng realized he was neglecting something important, typically, when a person is running at high speed, it's impossible to stop on a dime, momentum would carry the person forward a bit.

The distance covered depends directly on how fast they were moving.

However, the girl just now really stopped abruptly without showing any signs of being affected by inertia.

This meant her control over her body was at least on par with his, or even better!

"Looks like I might have to resort to some tricks." Xiao Feng thought to himself.

He searched his pockets and found that besides a strong laxative spray, he had a bottle of essential balm and a few strong mint candies.

Taking out a mint candy, Xiao Feng was still considering his options when the girl asked: "Is that candy?"

"Ha!" Xiao Feng laughed out loud: "Yes, and it's a limited edition candy, you can't buy it in stores."

The girl's eyes sparkled: "How does it taste?"

"The best in the world!" Xiao Feng said grandly: "Once you taste one, you'll want another, the lingering flavor's unforgettable."

"Can I try one?" the girl immediately said: "I won't just try it for free, if it's good I'll pay for it."

"Sure, sure!" Xiao Feng grinned widely, this was too easy.

Of course, to be safe, Xiao Feng didn't hand it over directly but threw it from a distance.

The girl didn't reach out to catch it, instead opened her mouth and caught it directly.

The next moment, the girl closed her eyes, her facial features twisted as if she had eaten a whole lemon.

"Hahahahaha!" Xiao Feng burst into laughter, enjoying his intellectual superiority.

That old fox Bi Quan, sending such a naïve person over, was he trying to make him laugh to death?

However, Xiao Feng quickly stopped laughing.

The girl's previously contorted features gradually relaxed.

"Whew…"

The girl let out a breath, shivering slightly, her face full of bliss.

A moment later, the girl said delightfully: "What kind of candy is this, it has such magical effects, feeling refreshed after eating it, even the breath carries a cooling sensation, so soothing!"

"…" Xiao Feng's jaw almost dropped, were these mint candies expired?

He took out another one from his pocket, pondered for a moment, but didn't dare eat it. What if the effects were just slow to manifest?

With that thought, Xiao Feng looked at the girl, confirming: "Do you… feel like you might cry?"

The girl tilted her head, pondering: "Hmm… there might be a little feeling, I've never tasted such amazing candy, you let me try it, I'm so moved, moved to tears."

"…" Xiao Feng.

Moved to tears, my foot!

After waiting a long while and confirming that the strong mint candy wasn't taking effect, Xiao Feng decided it was time for his big move.

"I have a bottle of sweet water here, wanna try it?" Xiao Feng pulled out the strong laxative spray.

"I do, do!" The girl nodded like a little chick pecking grains and then trotted over, opening her mouth, waiting for him to spray the sweet water into her mouth.

The scene was a bit like a death row inmate eagerly urging the executioner: Hurry up and cut my head off, I can't wait any longer!

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Feng brought the spray to the girl's mouth and sprayed several times.

"ZZZZZZ…"

This time, Xiao Feng went all-out, knowing that not even Yamada Ichiro, who had been brought down by this in the past, had been sprayed this much at once.

The girl smacked her lips, frowning slightly, said: "Doesn't really taste sweet, the flavor is weird, but it's okay to drink."

Xiao Feng was speechless and kept watching the girl's lower half closely, hoping the strong laxative would soon take effect.

But after waiting a long time, the expected scene didn't happen.

Xiao Feng was a bit exasperated, what on earth is going on?
