Hua Yu took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Even though this is leftover food, I paid for it. Can you stop being so picky?"
"I'm not being picky. Then you can eat it with me."
Lin Feng sat down and picked up his chopsticks to taste it. The flavor was not bad.
"I won't eat. Don't you have a big appetite? You can eat it yourself. I'll eat an apple."
Hua Yu picked up an apple and started to gnaw on it.
"Haha, if you dislike it, just say so. Stop pretending to be all proper with me."
Lin Feng couldn't be bothered to argue with Hua Yu.
Fifty yuan was not a small sum for Hua Yu.
This woman had indeed spent a considerable amount.
"Miss Hua, you went to such great lengths to marry me, all for the sake of disgracing the Hua and Lin families."
"But now, neither the Hua family nor the Lin family has made any move. What are you trying to achieve?"
"Are you trying to have no money to spend, or to be with me and live frugally every day?"
Lin Feng teased as he ate.
Hua Yu's expression turned serious. "You don't understand the Hua and Lin families. The fact that they haven't made a move yet shows that my plan has succeeded."
"What do you mean?"
Lin Feng was confused.
"The moments before a storm arrive are often without any signs. Anger without expression is true anger."
"They might be brewing a bigger storm right now."
"And you, are you ready to face it?"
Hua Yu looked at Lin Feng, not as if she were joking.
Lin Feng was unfazed. "Miss Hua, ever since I agreed to your terms, I've stopped caring."
"What Hua family, what Lin family, in my eyes, they are all just ordinary people."
Hua Yu chuckled lightly. "That's because you haven't experienced their power. When the time comes, you won't say that."
"Yes, if that time comes, I'll take you by force!"
"At least if I die, I can leave behind offspring!"
"After all, this marriage shouldn't be in vain. At least I should enjoy myself a little!"
Lin Feng chuckled, looking at Hua Yu with a lecherous gaze.
Hua Yu was so startled that she immediately pulled her jacket tighter.
"Don't do anything rash. We have an agreement. If you dare to lay a hand on me, you're a scoundrel!"
Hua Yu was genuinely afraid that Lin Feng would act recklessly.
"So be it, a scoundrel. What's so good about being a gentleman? No one will speak well of me when I'm dead."
"Besides, you're so beautiful, and you have such a great figure. I'm really tempted."
Lin Feng licked his lips.
Hua Yu was so scared that she dropped her apple and immediately turned back into the house.
As she went inside, she made sure to lock all the doors.
"Lin Feng, if you dare to defile me, I'll kill myself! I'd rather die than be violated by you!"
Hua Yu stood on the second-floor stairs, gripping a dagger tightly and warning him.
"I quite like the word 'violate.' Don't worry, I'm not interested in you yet."
"Remember to wash up, and be ready for my favors at any time!"
Lin Feng burst into laughter. Teasing Hua Yu had improved his mood considerably.
Hua Yu wasn't sure if Lin Feng was joking or serious. Frightened, she didn't dare to say anything more and hid in her room, not daring to come out.
After dinner, Lin Feng was about to sit in the courtyard to cultivate.
However, he soon smelled an unpleasant aura.
He glanced at the cornfield and heard sounds of fighting coming from it.
Realizing that something had happened, Lin Feng immediately rushed over.
When he arrived, he saw Mu Bei being choked by a man in black.
"Let him go! If you have a problem, come at me!"
Lin Feng stared at the man before him, already sensing his extraordinary abilities.
The man casually threw Mu Bei to the ground as if he were discarding trash, showing no regard.
"You are Lin Feng, aren't you? I've come here today to warn you about something."
"My master already knows about your relationship with Hua Yu. If you're sensible, you'll immediately sever ties with Hua Yu."
"If you're not sensible, I will remove you from the Earth Rankings!"
The man in black said this and drew a sharp dagger from his waist, licking it with his tongue.
"Your master is Lin Zhen, right? Lin Zhen sent you, didn't he?"
Lin Feng asked.
"That's not for you to know. Either agree, or die. Choose one!"
The man in black completely disregarded Lin Feng.
"Haha, you want to kill me? Fine. State your name. I, Lin Feng, don't kill nameless people."
Lin Feng sneered coldly. He hated being threatened and warned more than anything.
He was born with pride and a stubborn will that refused to bend!
The man in black's eyes turned cold. "You can call me Feng Wuxie. When you meet the King of Hell, remember to report my name. You're the hundredth person I've killed."
"Feng Wuxie, ranked fifteenth on the Earth Rankings. If I kill you, I'll be fifteenth on the Earth Rankings. Not bad, not bad."
Lin Feng laughed instead of getting angry. He was just looking for someone to test his array formations on, and Feng Wuxie had arrived at the perfect time.
"Haha, kid, you truly don't fear death. Do you think I'm like that trash Chen Man?"
"You want to kill me? Dream on!"
Feng Wuxie found it to be the funniest joke.
Seeing Lin Feng's defiance, he wasted no more time and launched a killing blow.
The dagger in his hand flashed like lightning, piercing towards Lin Feng's throat.
Its speed was so astonishing that it reached Lin Feng's neck almost instantly.
Realizing Feng Wuxie's terrifying power, Lin Feng didn't even attempt to counter. He turned and fled.
"Coward, are you scared shitless already?"
Feng Wuxie became even more disdainful and quickly pursued Lin Feng.
Lin Feng felt Feng Wuxie chasing him relentlessly, like a roc spreading its wings, and knew that his current strength was no match for Feng Wuxie's.
To defeat Feng Wuxie, he had to lure him into the Five Thunder Array he had set up beforehand.
Unfortunately, Feng Wuxie's speed was too great, and he was soon caught up.
"Kid, you can't escape. You're too slow!"
Feng Wuxie's fists rained down upon Lin Feng like a torrent, landing with heavy thuds.
Lin Feng still didn't retaliate; it would be a futile effort anyway.
He endured Feng Wuxie's punches, desperately running towards the predetermined location.
"What are you doing? Still trying to run?"
Feng Wuxie couldn't understand Lin Feng's actions. He followed Lin Feng, punching and kicking him.
Lin Feng coughed up blood but still pushed himself to run.
"What exactly are you doing? I told you to fight back, but you keep running. What can that change?"
Feng Wuxie was furious. Lin Feng's attitude of ignoring him and just running was the greatest insult.
"Fine, I won't run anymore. I'll fight you!"
Lin Feng stopped at the spot where he had laid his ambush, breathing heavily.
"Now that's more like it, a man who fights even when facing death! Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Make your move and let me see your strength!"
Feng Wuxie beckoned to Lin Feng, his face filled with mocking disdain.
"You think you're worthy of me making a move? How about this, I'll let you have three moves. You come and hit me!"
Lin Feng looked at the array he had set up, waiting for Feng Wuxie to step into it.
"Haha, such big talk! You're letting me have three moves?"
Feng Wuxie placed his sharp dagger in his mouth and bit it piece by piece. "Lin Feng, are you playing tricks on me? Or is there a trap waiting for me?"
"Stop the nonsense, you piece of trash. Do you really think you're that powerful? Worthy of me playing tricks!"
"I'll just stand here. Come and kill me if you dare!"
Lin Feng's provocation was evident.
