"You... you bastard! Guards, seize him! I want to gouge out his eyes, cut off his tongue, pull out his tendons, and peel his skin!" Lin Yueyue was trembling with rage, pointing at Chu Feng and screaming like a madwoman.
At the same time, the guards of the Qilin Prince's Mansion had already lunged at Chu Feng. Although even they had to admit Lin Yueyue's looks were a bit hard to bear, Chu Feng's public humiliation of her was tantamount to insulting the Qilin Prince's Mansion itself—something they could not tolerate.
"Ugly as sin, yet you protect her like she's some treasure. How pathetic!"
Chu Feng naturally wasn't about to surrender quietly. After firing off a few mocking remarks at the incoming guards, a flash of light erupted from his feet. He shot into the forest like a beam of light and quickly vanished.
Despite the guards' best efforts, they couldn't catch up. In the end, they reached a single conclusion: that kid in the bamboo hat must have been born in the Year of the Rabbit, because he ran impossibly fast.
Once clear of the Qilin Prince's Mansion's territory, Chu Feng caught a small white rabbit. He really had been shaken by Lin Yueyue's appearance and needed to eat something to calm his nerves.
The setting sun had already dipped below the horizon, and darkness had fallen. In a secluded part of the forest, Chu Feng prepared to start a fire to roast the rabbit. He extended a finger, gathered his Mystic Force, and a small flame sparked to life. This was a Fifth-rank Martial Art, but its power wasn't even comparable to the Thunder Three Forms, so Chu Feng only used it to start fires.
*Whoosh* But the moment the flame caught, Chu Feng quickly extinguished it and nervously looked into the distance. He sensed someone approaching again. This had become routine for him, as the area was rich in Mystic Medicine, drawing many people.
Out of caution, Chu Feng considered moving, but he suddenly realized the approaching aura felt familiar. Very familiar. It was Dugu Aoyun's younger brother, Dugu Xiangyu.
"What's this kid doing here? Did the entire Lingyun Sect army arrive too?" Chu Feng frowned, finding it suspicious. To investigate, he concealed his aura and crept closer.
"No way. Even in a place like this, this kid doesn't forget to have a good time." The moment he got close, Chu Feng was startled.
In a clearing stood a small tent. Outside was a campfire with delicious meat roasting over it. By the fire sat a pair of lovebirds, cuddling and drinking heartily.
The man was none other than Dugu Aoyun's own brother, Dugu Xiangyu. The woman was a female disciple from the Lingyun Sect, currently nestled in his arms, acting coy and flirtatious, alluring in every way.
In that instant, Chu Feng finally understood why Dugu Xiangyu was here. He hadn't come with the Lingyun Sect army. He had deliberately separated from the group to have a secret rendezvous with this disciple.
Seeing Dugu Xiangyu made Chu Feng think of Dugu Aoyun. He recalled the scene from earlier that day where Dugu Aoyun led a group to attack him. At the thought, a wicked grin spread across Chu Feng's face. He turned and left.
Later that night, emboldened by alcohol and his beastly instincts, Dugu Xiangyu began rolling around in the grass with his junior sister in a passionate embrace. Things were heating up, and he moved to tear at her clothes.
"Senior Brother, don't! Not here!" The junior sister looked bashfully toward the nearby tent.
"Hehe, alright, alright, my beauty. Anything for you." Dugu Xiangyu chuckled, picked up the beauty in his arms, and ducked into the tent.
*Thump, thump, thump* Just as they entered, the sound of footsteps rustling through the forest could be heard.
"Who is it?!" Panicked, Dugu Xiangyu burst out bare-chested and jumped into the nearby thicket. When he returned a moment later, he was holding a timid little white rabbit. He smiled and said, "It's nothing, Junior Sister. Just a little white bunny."
