Hearing the cries for help from the woods next to the courtyard, Cheng Xiaofan wondered what had happened to Li Mingxi, her voice so pitiful.
Just as Lu Shengming and Dao Dahai were stunned, Cheng Xiaofan sprang from his rocking chair, like a giant bird, and flew out in a flash.
"Ah!"
"Can this still be considered human?"
Lu Shengming and Dao Dahai were instantly dumbfounded.
In the blink of an eye, Cheng Xiaofan had landed in the woods next to the courtyard with a few agile leaps.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Xiaofan spotted Li Mingxi huddled in a corner and asked loudly.
"Ah, Mr. Cheng, save me quickly!"
When Li Mingxi saw Cheng Xiaofan appear before her, she leaped up from the corner and threw herself into his arms.
"Ah, let go!"
Cheng Xiaofan then realized that all of Li Mingxi's clothes had been torn apart during her breakthrough, leaving only a few rags clinging to her.
She was exposed entirely before him.
"I'm scared,"
Li Mingxi held onto Cheng Xiaofan tightly and pointed at the ground ahead, saying, "Mr. Cheng, look, there's a huge snake there!"
Following Li Mingxi's指 direction, he saw a thick rat snake coiled there, also known as a lustful snake.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and chuckled, "That's a harmless snake, what's there to be afraid of!"
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, a master who had upgraded from Ming Jin to An Jin, yet was afraid of a harmless snake, wasn't that too ridiculous!
"Miss, go to the downstream of the pond to clean up and change your clothes!" Cheng Xiaofan could no longer stand the smell emanating from Li Mingxi.
No matter how beautiful a woman was, her scent could be unbearable!
Hearing Cheng Xiaofan's words, Li Mingxi finally realized that the smell she was emitting was indeed overwhelming. She hurriedly moved away from him.
However, she had indeed been terrified by the rat snake. As soon as she lost Cheng Xiaofan's support, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground again.
Were martial artists nowadays so weak?
Cheng Xiaofan thought about how Xu Man had pestered him yesterday, and today he encountered such a beauty from the Bureau of Jianghu Affairs. Was he having a lucky streak of romance or was he plagued by bad luck?
He had no choice but to bend down and lift her, pick up the casual clothes lying on the ground, and walk towards the pond.
Reaching the downstream of the pond, Cheng Xiaofan put Li Mingxi down and said, "Clean yourself here, I'll wait for you in the bamboo pavilion!"
Throughout the entire process, Cheng Xiaofan's gaze dared not linger on her.
"No, Mr. Cheng, stay here with me, I'm really scared!" Li Mingxi said anxiously.
Cheng Xiaofan reluctantly turned around, facing away from Li Mingxi, and said, "Alright, hurry up and wash, I'll be here with you!"
Li Mingxi added, "Don't turn your back to me, what if wolves come nearby?"
"..." Hearing her words, Cheng Xiaofan was almost driven mad.
Can I go berserk?
In your eyes, am I not a man at all?
"Mingxi, where are you?"
"Xiaofan, have you found Miss Li?"
Just as Cheng Xiaofan was at a loss on how to deal with this beauty, Li Mingxi, Lu Shengming and Dao Dahai came searching one after another.
At this moment, Li Mingxi immediately responded loudly, "Director Lu, Mr. Cheng is accompanying me to take a bath. You don't need to come over!"
"..." This statement immediately left Lu Shengming and Dao Dahai completely bewildered.
Cheng Xiaofan was accompanying Li Mingxi to take a bath?
A very eye-searing scene immediately flashed before their eyes.
Hero saves beauty, love at first sight, such a cliché plot, and it unfolded so quickly?
The two looked at each other, silently turned around, and walked towards the bamboo pavilion. They had to admit that Cheng Xiaofan's charm was too great.
And Cheng Xiaofan at this moment was completely on the verge of collapse.
"Miss, can't you speak properly?" He really wanted to question her, wasn't he being unfairly blamed for this mess!
Huh?
Li Mingxi also realized that what she had said was problematic.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng, I misspoke. I'll explain to them later!" the other party hurriedly apologized to Cheng Xiaofan in a panic.
At this time, a miniature drone hovered in the air for a circle, capturing the scene of Cheng Xiaofan and Li Mingxi at the downstream of the pond.
Inoue Shoichi released a miniature drone not long after his car had driven away.
Upon seeing the image displayed on the electronic screen, he smiled and said to Yoshida Hideo beside him, "I didn't expect this little Chinese farmer named Cheng to be such a philanderer!"
Yoshida Hideo sneered, "Inoue-kun, if that's the case, it will be even easier to deal with this Cheng Xiaofan!"
Inoue Shoichi nodded and said, "Yes, you're right!"
"It seems that Miyazaki Tenno was a fool. It's really not worth dying at the hands of such a little Chinese farmer!"
...
"Mr. Cheng, I've finished washing!"
At the downstream of the pond in the back mountain, Li Mingxi, wrapped in a bundle of rags, wiped herself dry and said to Cheng Xiaofan.
"..." Cheng Xiaofan's face was instantly darkened.
You're done washing, hurry up and put on your clothes, why are you telling me this.
I can't possibly help you put them on!
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking with a touch of age-old wisdom, what was wrong with some girls these days?
"It's dark now, hurry up and put on your clothes, don't catch a cold!" Cheng Xiaofan urged.
Li Mingxi nodded, "Okay, I'll put them on right away!"
Right away?
There are no horses here, do you want me to fetch a cow from the village for you.
Cheng Xiaofan felt impatient.
He felt that Li Mingxi had a good spiritual root and was a material for cultivation, but her psychological quality couldn't keep up, which was still a headache.
After she put on her clothes, Cheng Xiaofan turned to leave, "Mr. Cheng, wait for me!" Li Mingxi shouted anxiously from behind.
Cheng Xiaofan was almost driven to his wit's end by her.
"When we get back to the pavilion, you'd better explain things properly to them!" Cheng Xiaofan said in a dark and harsh tone to Li Mingxi.
Li Mingxi asked, "Explain what?"
"..." Cheng Xiaofan's face was instantly darkened.
Does this beauty have amnesia?
Did she forget in a blink of an eye?
Cheng Xiaofan said speechlessly, "About me accompanying you to take a bath!"
Li Mingxi looked bewildered, "Mr. Cheng, when did you accompany me to take a bath... Oh, I remember, I misspoke. Yes, I will definitely explain to them!"
"I'll tell them you weren't bathing with me, just watching me bathe, uh..."
Even she felt it was difficult to explain clearly.
"Forget it, you don't need to explain!"
Cheng Xiaofan waved his hand impatiently, "The clear are naturally clear, the turbid are naturally turbid. I, Cheng Xiaofan, stand tall and upright, and am not afraid of shadows. What is there to explain."
If I let you explain, it will likely make things worse.
It would be like mud in my pants, which might not be shit, but it would look like shit.
Hmph, it's all the fault of those two Blood Demon Sect members who stirred up trouble for me. Next time they come looking for me, I'll definitely make them pay!
Cheng Xiaofan took out his anger on Inoue Shoichi and Yoshida Hideo!
He knew very well that within a couple of days, these two would come to him for help.
Heh heh, am I, Cheng Xiaofan, someone the Blood Demon Sect can easily provoke?
