The woman named Xing'er did not just watch from the side. She softly admonished the two in the study, appearing to be a very gentle woman.
However, Liu Nanfeng felt something was amiss, a sense of disharmony.
She was clearly just an ordinary human, yet she gave him the feeling of a demon cloaked in human skin.
But if she were truly a demon, he believed Niu Zhixiao and Lin Lanzhi would not fail to notice.
And Liu Nanfeng suspected that Zhang Xinwu's strong rejection of her might be because he had sensed something.
"Lanzhi, stop talking to him. We offered our kindness, and this is his attitude."
Niu Zhixiao was very angry. They had come with good intentions, but Zhang Xinwu treated them this way.
Lin Lanzhi hesitated upon hearing this and wanted to persuade him further, but ultimately, she left with Niu Zhixiao.
However, as she left, she kindly said to Xing'er, "He's a bit hot-tempered. If you have anything to say, speak to him properly. If he dares to bully you, come find me."
"Thank you, sister. Xing'er understands."
Seeing her downcast demeanor, she truly seemed infinitely gentle.
Looking at the woman who resembled her by seven or eight parts, Lin Lanzhi felt even more fond.
She glared at Zhang Xinwu before turning back to Xing'er, "I'll contact you tomorrow. If he's even a little rude, tell me, and I'll settle the score with him."
"Alright, sister." Xing'er maintained her meek appearance.
Only then did Lin Lanzhi leave with Niu Zhixiao.
After they departed, Xing'er let out a soft sigh with her head bowed.
"Husband."
Zhang Xinwu's expression was grim. He ignored her and continued with his work.
Xing'er hesitated for a moment beside him, then spoke again, "I've been looking for you for a long time. I finally found you."
She then appeared on the verge of tears.
Zhang Xinwu couldn't help but look up at this.
"Alright, no one else is here. You don't need to pretend anymore," Zhang Xinwu said, putting down his work with a heavy tone.
The woman named Xing'er turned around and smiled charmingly at Liu Nanfeng, who was watching from the side.
It was a very sweet smile, but in Liu Nanfeng's eyes, it sent a chill down his spine.
"You'd better not provoke him," Zhang Xinwu warned her sternly.
Zhang Xinwu said this not because of Su Jinxiu. He had witnessed the sword Liu Nanfeng had drawn against Ao Haiping. For a long time afterward, whenever he recalled that sword, he felt a cold sweat and a lingering, powerless feeling.
In the past, he couldn't understand why the Su sisters would fancy such an ordinary person. With their looks and talents, countless talented individuals from both the demon and human races would almost flock to them.
After Liu Nanfeng drew that astonishing sword, he felt he finally understood.
"In that case, this young brother isn't ordinary either, is he?" Xing'er said, giving Liu Nanfeng another charming smile.
If her previous smile was one of restraint and politeness, this one was one of seduction, temptation, and enchantment.
Her smile, her tone, and her gaze, which seemed to be dripping with desire, were all aimed at seducing Liu Nanfeng, or rather, his desires.
Meanwhile, Zhang Xinwu continued with his work, as if he hadn't seen anything.
"Can I hit her?" Liu Nanfeng asked Zhang Xinwu.
At this moment, Liu Nanfeng had activated his eye's analytical ability and was startled by what he saw.
Beneath his gaze, the woman named Xing'er was covered in tiny purple worms under her skin, crawling all over her body, making one's scalp tingle and skin crawl at a glance.
"You do as you please," Zhang Xinwu replied calmly, turning his head.
"Husband, you are truly heartless."
Xing'er said this, looking as if she were about to cry, appearing delicate and pitiable.
"Yes, isn't she your wife? If I hit her, you won't hit me, will you?" Liu Nanfeng said with a grin.
Hearing this, Zhang Xinwu suddenly looked ferocious. He threw a punch, hitting the woman named Xing'er directly in the face, caving in her cheek.
The woman named Xing'er clearly hadn't expected Zhang Xinwu to punch her so suddenly. She let out a piercing scream, and then transformed into a cloud of purple smoke.
Following that, there was a hissing sound all around. The surrounding concrete ground, the barbecue stalls, the pots and pans on the stalls, and the skewered meat all seemed to be corroded and rapidly disappeared.
But Liu Nanfeng knew it wasn't corrosion. The purple smoke wasn't gas either, but countless tiny insects, and everything around them was being gnawed away by these insects.
"Is this human?" Liu Nanfeng exclaimed in shock.
This was his first time witnessing such a bizarre cultivation.
If the other party were a demon insect that had transformed, or some demon, Liu Nanfeng wouldn't have been surprised at all. But her head displayed no relevant information, which meant she was still considered human.
"What a pity, what a pity. Don't ruin my stall," Zhang Xinwu said regretfully.
"Boss Zhang, is this the time to say that?" Liu Nanfeng said speechlessly.
Meanwhile, the owners of several neighboring stalls abandoned their stalls and ran far away, peeking over from a distance.
They also didn't understand why a fight had suddenly broken out, and why it was so dangerous.
Of course, they were even more curious about Zhang Xinwu's identity. They had known each other for a while and often chatted and boasted, but they had never seen anything unusual about him.
At this moment, the woman named Xing'er reappeared some distance away from Zhang Xinwu.
The purple smoke was all drawn back into her body.
Her complexion was normal, as if the punch hadn't landed on her face.
However, she still covered part of her face, maintaining her delicate appearance.
With a tearful voice, she said, "Husband, it hurts so much. You are so heartless. I must tell Lanzhi sister to preside over justice for me."
Zhang Xinwu, who had been calm all along, became serious for the first time.
"You are courting death."
"I know you like Lanzhi sister, but you are my husband," Xing'er said, looking wronged.
"You are courting death." Zhang Xinwu paused, and then his sturdy physique appeared beside Xing'er. Without further ado, he delivered another punch.
The air exploded with a "bang," like muffled thunder, indicating the immense power of this punch.
However, Xing'er was clearly prepared. She directly transformed into a cloud of purple smoke, flashed through the air, and appeared behind Liu Nanfeng.
Then, she reached out her jade arm to encircle Liu Nanfeng's neck.
"Don't you dare."
Liu Nanfeng was extremely vigilant. With a counter-move, he directly grabbed her by the neck.
"I don't hit women," Liu Nanfeng said earnestly.
Then, with a rapid succession of punches like a pile driver, he struck her face.
Xing'er was shocked to discover that not only could she not escape, but her limbs also felt weak and limp, lacking any strength to resist.
Strength: Empowered by anger, sustainable output when facing female beings, doubling strength.
It turned out this was the true use of Strength.
