I Like Being Passive

At this moment, Madam Hu was like a startled little rabbit. Even though she knew it was wrong to stay in Xiao Feng's arms, she still wanted to snuggle closer.

Ever since Xiao Feng had an intense discussion with Jingni about matters of lfie, he realized that he seemed to have awakened a formidable trait, becoming more like the legendary hero!

Seeing Madam Hu's shy and adorable look, Xiao Feng could only lift his little leg to show her his respect.

(ω)

Feeling Xiao Feng's respect for her, Madam Hu's pretty face turned red, and she wished she could bury her head in his chest.

If it weren't for the vulture staring at them menacingly, Madam Hu would have jumped out of Xiao Feng's arms like a cat scared by a cucumber.

"Looking for death!"

The vulture only wanted to find the treasure of Fire Rain Duke and had no mood to watch this pair of lovebirds flirting. Without mercy, he swung his sword toward Xiao Feng.

"Bang!"

At the moment when the vulture's sword pierced Xiao Feng's throat, Xiao Feng's figure suddenly shattered into countless wind blades.

"Clang, clang, clang…"

Facing the countless wind blades shooting towards him, the vulture couldn't dodge in time and could only use his sword to hastily block.

"Roar—"

Taking advantage of the vulture's confusion, Xiao Feng suddenly used a move called "Dragon Subduing Palm," striking his back.

The vulture felt a tremendous force hitting him from behind, sending him flying uncontrollably and crashing heavily into the courtyard wall several meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

!!!∑(Дノ)ノ

To Xiao Feng's disbelief, the vulture, who should have had his heart shattered by one palm strike, only spat out blood and then fled over the wall in a pathetic manner.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng said speechlessly, "Damn! Did you turn on a god-mode cheat?"

In fact, the reason why the vulture didn't die from Xiao Feng's palm strike wasn't because he had a cheat on but because his heart was naturally on the right side, unlike most people.

Back then, the vulture survived an ambush set by Liu Yi by playing dead, relying on this unique trait.

Liu Yi would never have imagined that even though the vulture's heart was pierced by an arrow, he could still survive.

"Master, please don't…"

Just as Xiao Feng was about to let go of Madam Hu and chase after the vulture to eliminate him, Madam Hu tightly grabbed his arm, shaking her head in fear.

The trauma left by the three wolves with broken hair was too deep for Madam Hu; she didn't dare to stay alone.

Seeing Madam Hu's tear-streaked face, Xiao Feng decided to give up on chasing the vulture for now and carried her back to the bedroom, comforting her vigorously.

Meanwhile, the vulture, who had barely escaped from the Left Minister's Mansion, didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief before being intercepted by Wei Zhuang.

Upon learning that the vulture was the real culprit behind Hong Yu's murder, Wei Zhuang couldn't just let him go.

The vulture wasn't Wei Zhuang's match, especially after being seriously injured by Xiao Feng.

"Slash!"

With a flash of cold sword light, the vulture felt a chill in his neck, followed by his head flying off.

"What a fast sword…"

As he stared at his familiar headless body, the last thought that crossed the vulture's mind was this before he fell into complete darkness.

After killing the vulture in one stroke, Wei Zhuang glanced in the direction of Madam Hu's courtyard before picking up the vulture's head and leaving without looking back.

…

Early the next morning, when the first ray of sunlight streamed through the exquisitely carved wooden window and fell on Xiao Feng's face, he slowly opened his deep starry eyes.

Awake from his sleep, Xiao Feng looked down at Madam Hu lying in his arms, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, Madam Hu's hair was disheveled, her cherry-like lips looked slightly swollen, and there were still some red marks on her fair skin.

To heal the psychological shadow left by the three wolves with broken hair, Xiao Feng spent more than two hours last night giving her psychological counseling, making sure she had no energy left to think about anything else.

Seeing that Madam Hu was still sleeping soundly, Xiao Feng didn't want to wake her up. He carefully extricated himself and quietly left the bedroom.

Not long after Xiao Feng left, Madam Hu, feeling empty, also slowly opened her beautiful eyes, her pretty face blushing.

In fact, the moment Xiao Feng woke up, Madam Hu, who was like a conjoined twin with him, had already been awakened.

But Madam Hu didn't know how to face Xiao Feng. Last night, she had been too scared and treated Xiao Feng as her only lifeline, which made her behave so wildly and actively.

In reality, with her submissive personality, Madam Hu preferred being passive.

To put it simply, Madam Hu felt that her relationship with Xiao Feng wasn't right, but if Xiao Feng insisted, she could only comply.

Glimpsing the marks on her arm, Madam Hu couldn't help but recall the scenes of last night's fierce battle. Feeling satisfied yet shivering uncontrollably.

As the saying goes: "There are only exhausted cows, not plowed fields."

But what if the cow had limitless stamina?

Last night, Madam Hu was like a small boat in the ocean, unfortunately encountering a level ten storm.

Every time the storm pushed her to the peak of the waves, Madam Hu worried about the boat being wrecked and drowning, feeling several times as if she might die.

What a terrifying man!

…

Purple Orchid House

Han Fei and the rest were gathered together, discussing the case of Liu Yi's murder.

Because Wei Zhuang had specially brought back the vulture's head to Purple Orchid House to mourn Hong Yu last night, Han Fei and the others already knew that Xiao Feng wasn't the murderer.

With the vulture's death, Liu Yi's murder case was solved, but two new problems now faced them.

The first problem was whether the vulture killed Liu Yi on Ji Wuye's orders or acted on his own.

The second problem was the role Xiao Feng played in this case. How did he know that the vulture was going to kill Madam Hu?

Han Fei gently swirled the wine in his glass, gazing towards the direction of the Xiao Mansion through the window on the fourth floor of Purple Orchid House, murmuring to himself, "Xiao Feng, the mysterious rich merchant from Qin, are you our friend or foe?"

"Judging by his action of stopping the vulture from killing last night, he shouldn't be our enemy."

Halfway through his sentence, Zhang Liang's expression turned serious, "Compared to Xiao Feng, the person we should be more concerned about is someone else—the Four Fearful Warriors!"

Upon hearing this name, the expressions of Han Fei and the others also turned serious.
