Bang! Bang! Bang!
Once Chu Feng realized the other party wasn’t human, he stopped holding back and attacked with everything he had. Even if he managed to capture it, what could he possibly learn from a puppet? It couldn’t talk.
Of course, if it were something like an automaton girl, then he would absolutely have to track down the master craftsman behind it and commission one for himself. Not only could he have someone to talk to, he could also experience the automaton girl’s “magnificent” and “expansive” embrace.
He had even thought of a name already—
Simulated Heat-Generating Companion Weapon. Everyone who’s tried it says it’s great.
Boom!
Sword qi raged across the battlefield. Although the puppet was weaker than Chu Feng, the material it was made from was extraordinarily tough. He had only managed to sever one of its arms earlier by using his full strength. Now the puppet seemed to have learned from that and refused to give him any time to gather power.
If he still had his five-colored sword qi, he wouldn’t have been so helpless. Unfortunately, after it shattered last time, it still hadn’t fully recovered.
Just as Chu Feng and the puppet reached a stalemate—
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A flash of sword light streaked through the air, carrying an icy chill.
The puppet was instantly chopped into pieces.
Looking up, Chu Feng saw the cold and elegant woman in green slowly sheathing her sword.
Walking over to the remains, Chu Feng nudged the puppet’s head with his foot. It was surprisingly hard.
“Sister Saintess, what is this puppet made of? How is it this tough?”
It was the first time Chu Feng had ever seen his sword qi fail so completely. If it happened against Aunt Zi or his master, he would have accepted it without complaint.
Liu Xueyao gently shook her head. This was the first time she had seen something like it as well.
“In that case, let’s bring it back and study it carefully.”
With a wave of his hand, Chu Feng stored the dismembered puppet inside his storage pouch.
***
By the time they returned to the Liu family estate, it was already nightfall.
Chu Feng hadn’t expected the whole affair to take an entire day. He had originally thought half a day would be more than enough.
Climbing over the courtyard wall and into the yard, Chu Feng glanced toward the window. Seeing no light coming from inside, he let out a sigh of relief.
Aunt Jing probably hadn’t returned yet.
He pushed open the door.
The glow of a luminous pearl illuminated the room, revealing a mature and voluptuous beauty sitting inside. Judging by her appearance, she had clearly been waiting for him for quite some time.
His throat bobbed.
So he still hadn’t managed to escape…
Walking forward, he forced out an awkward smile.
“Aunt Jing, you got back so quickly. Well… I only stepped out for a little while.”
To keep his whereabouts from being exposed, Liu Shijing had repeatedly warned him not to run around and to stay obediently inside the room. Especially since he had already made enemies with the Myriad Saints Palace.
Looking at the young man who had just entered, Liu Shijing showed him no kindness. Her face was cold and stern.
When she returned to the room and found both the boy and Xueyao missing, she immediately remembered that Liu Ling had met with the brat earlier. After questioning him or rather, threatening him…Liu Ling confessed everything.
The next moment, the cold and elegant woman entered the room as well.
Seeing her own Xueyao, Liu Shijing’s expression became even colder.
She had finally realized it. Ever since this brat appeared, Xueyao’s heart had completely drifted to his side. She was siding with an outsider at every turn. Instead, Liu Shijing, her own aunt, had become the outsider.
Turning her body away, Liu Shijing presented only her profile to Chu Feng and said indifferently,
“Really? Does ‘a little while’ mean an entire day? It’s already nighttime, and you still hadn’t come back.”
“Umm… there was something I needed to take care of, so I brought Sister Saintess along with me. Don’t worry, Aunt Jing. No one saw me.”
The only thing that had seen him wasn’t even a person. It was a puppet.
And now that puppet had already been chopped into pieces.
“Then why didn’t you tell me?”
“It was just a small matter. I thought there was no need to trouble Aunt Jing with it.”
Chu Feng carefully observed her expression.
Yet Liu Shijing’s face remained icy cold, and she had even closed her eyes.
Well, this was bad.
At this point, he had absolutely no idea what she was thinking.
As for Liu Xueyao, it was as though she hadn’t noticed Liu Shijing’s frosty expression at all. She casually walked over to the bed, removed her green dress, and changed into a thin gauzy night garment.
Clearly, she was already preparing to go to sleep.
Although Liu Shijing hadn’t opened her eyes, her divine sense was as good as a second pair of eyes. Seeing Xueyao acting this way made her chest rise and fall with irritation.
She let out a soft huff and said,
“What? You can tell your Saintess Sister, but not me, your Aunt Jing?”
There was an unmistakable sourness in her tone.
At that moment, Chu Feng finally understood.
To put it simply, she was jealous.
Then again, Aunt Jing had always been the tsundere type.
It was his fault too. He hadn’t considered her feelings. By telling only Sister Saintess and not Aunt Jing, wasn’t he basically saying that Sister Saintess held a more important place in his heart?
Chu Feng slowly approached Liu Shijing.
Sensing the brat walking toward her, her eyelashes trembled slightly.
Chu Feng took hold of her delicate hand.
“The truth is, Aunt Jing and Sister Saintess are equally important to me. This was only a minor issue caused by someone at the Third Rank. Aunt Jing is an Eighth Rank cultivator. Having you deal with something like that would be beneath your status.”
Liu Shijing tried to pull her hand away.
It didn’t move.
She tried several more times, but it was still useless. In the end, she simply let the brat continue holding it.
In truth, the moment he walked over and took her hand, more than half of the frustration in her heart had already disappeared.
She herself didn’t understand why she had become angry.
When she returned and found neither the brat nor Xueyao in the room, then learned the details from Liu Ling, her mind had unconsciously reached the conclusion that Xueyao and the brat shared a closer relationship.
The thought had left her inexplicably irritated.
Only now did Liu Shijing realize the truth.
She had actually been jealous of Xueyao!
Logically speaking, the brat was Xueyao’s husband. Not only had Xueyao generously shared him with her, she had even actively encouraged the two of them to get together.
Yet now that Liu Shijing had finally acknowledged her own feelings, she had ended up becoming jealous of Xueyao instead!
The moment that thought crossed her mind, the icy coldness on her face melted away under a wave of heat, replaced by a faint blush.
Even so, she stubbornly maintained her tsundere act.
“That sounds nice brat, but don’t think I don’t know the saying. Men’s mouths are made for li—”
“Mmph!”
Liu Shijing’s beautiful eyes snapped open.
The young man’s face was suddenly right before her.
A moment later, her defenses were breached.
Hearing that Aunt Jing was still speaking in that tsundere tone, Chu Feng thought about it for a moment. Rather than wasting his breath trying to explain with words, it would be better to prove it through actions.
So he exerted a little force with his wrist.
An Eighth Rank cultivator was actually pulled in front of a Third Rank cultivator, and those vividly red lips were claimed by the young man without hesitation.
And then came the classic scene—
A soft whimper escaped the beauty’s lips. Her body immediately went limp, her cheeks flushed crimson, her eyes growing hazy as she half resisted and half welcomed him.
After a long while, their lips finally parted.
The beauty’s face was thoroughly flushed.
Chu Feng felt as though he had just eaten a mouthful of Sichuan peppercorns. His lips tingled pleasantly.
Although Aunt Jing had spoken as if she were furious, her actions had been exceptionally cooperative, completely exposing her true feelings.
With a gentle smile, Chu Feng looked at the blushing beauty and asked,
“Aunt Jing, be good. Are you still angry with me?”
Liu Shijing blinked.
Then her beautiful eyes widened. Raising a hand, she smacked Chu Feng lightly on the head and scolded him with mock annoyance,
“You little brat, have some respect! What do you mean ‘be good’? I’m your aunt!”
“If something like this happens again and you dare not tell me, then you can go find someone else to be your aunt!”
