Chapter 128: Lin Feng's Strange Behavior (Part 2) [Requesting Monthly Tickets]

"Congratulations my foot! Zhai Xiaofang, look closely, I'm almost twelve!" Shen Tang said expressionlessly, wishing she could throw the black-faced pig in his face, or switch the brains of the two. In her opinion, the black-faced pig was smarter than Zhai Le at this moment.

Zhai Le's pupils trembled slightly, revealing an expression of disapproval.

Three parts shock, three parts disappointment, three parts condemnation and one part heartache, as if I were seeing an absolute scumbag, a scumbag who didn't hesitate to admit his incompetence in order to shirk responsibility.

He said disappointedly, "Youli, how could you do this?"

Are we taking advantage of his naivety and innocence?

Although he was devoted to martial arts, military strategy, academic studies, and cultivation, he was not a clueless child. After all, he came from a prominent family and had heard about certain things even if he hadn't seen them with his own eyes.

A young man had an affair with a maid when he was twelve years old. The maid wanted to use her pregnancy to rise in rank, but the mistress dealt with her with ruthless methods.

Stay as far away from people like Zhai Le as possible.

Rumors always circulate that the maid seduced the master, but this is just one side of the story. Who knows the truth? Who knows if the maid deliberately seduced the master to climb the social ladder, or if the lecherous man used his position to force her into submission? Can a maid really defy her master?

Would the matriarch of the household disregard her son's reputation and reveal the truth?

Naturally, they would shift all the blame onto the maid.

Zhai Le never expected that his trusted friend would behave in such a way, which made him extremely disappointed!

Seeing that Zhai Le was truly enraged, Shen Tang's urge to perform a head transplant on him grew stronger. She took a deep breath and said, "Fine, even if I could do it, don't you know how old Lin Feng is? Eight years old! She's only eight! Get your head straight!"

Zhai Le's anger was abruptly extinguished, his expression frozen in a comical arc: "...Huh?"

Yes, he really forgot about that.

Lin Xiaoniangzi is still so young.

"Then what were you talking about just now... what were those things you were talking about?"

Shen Tang rolled her eyes without any politeness.

So, when you're eavesdropping, either listen to the whole thing or don't listen at all. Why make a huge blunder by only listening to half of what you hear and then filling in the blanks yourself?

Shen Tang felt the most aggrieved—not only did he have to admit that he was "incompetent," but he was also forced to add the label of "a big scumbag."

She said, "It's nothing."

Seeing that she was evasive in her speech, Zhai Le couldn't help but look at her suspiciously and pressed, "Really nothing? You're not lying, are you?"

In this world where there are more ghosts than people, there are plenty of "ghosts" disguised as "humans" who don't care how old their victims are when they do evil.

Eight years old is very young, but some perverts have a taste for it.

Shen Tang: "..."

She could tell from his expression that she had been wronged again. She pointed three fingers to the sky and said loudly, "It's true! I swear to God that if I have done anything inhuman, may I be struck by lightning."

Zhai Le asked with a hint of doubt, "Then what you just did..."

At this moment, Lin Feng also realized that through Shen Tang and Zhai Le's conversation, he knew that Zhai Langjun seemed to have misunderstood something. His face flushed slightly with anxiety, and he stammered an explanation: "This...it's because I'm not used to the food on the mountain. I haven't had it for quite a while..."

Zhai Le looked at Lin Feng, who was both embarrassed and ashamed, with a puzzled expression.

"If Miss Lin has any difficulties, please feel free to speak up!"

Lin Feng stamped his foot in frustration, suppressing the urge to disappear into the ground, and quickly said, "Why do you ask so many questions about a young lady's affairs? Haven't you ever worried about the proper rites of passage?"

Having said that, he ran away from the place.

Zhai Le's expression was as if he had been struck by lightning. Shen Tang was slightly surprised, but remained calm on the surface and stepped forward to pat his shoulder.

"This, this, this..." Looking at the direction Lin Feng ran in, and then at Shen Tang, his expression was incredibly innocent and bewildered. "This matter?"

Shen Tang raised an eyebrow: "Otherwise what?"

“Then what you mean by ‘something strange entered’…” That was too ambiguous. Zhai Le’s ears turned bright red halfway through his sentence, feeling not only ashamed but also incredibly embarrassed. “That doesn’t make sense!”

Shen Tang had no idea what the "strange thing" was. Before she could even ask Lin Feng what was going on, she made up one on the spot.

She said, "It should be literary energy. She's a young lady from a sheltered family and hasn't really come into contact with literary energy, so it's not surprising that she would call it a 'strange thing'... She wasn't too frightened that day, so I thought literary energy could calm her down and I infused her with some..."

Shen Tang's words were also full of loopholes.

However, there were too many details that happened that day, and Zhai Le didn't know everything, so Shen Tang managed to cover it up for a while.

His attention was still somewhat confused.

"Does being too refined in writing cause difficulty urinating?"

He certainly didn't worry about this matter.

Shen Tang rubbed her forehead, saying helplessly, "...Can we skip this awkward and smelly topic?"

Zhai Le: "..."

Upon learning that it was a misunderstanding, he didn't press the matter further. After all, even adults find it difficult to talk about things like constipation, let alone a woman confined to her quarters.

Shen Tang asked again, "Did you come to see me?"

Given Zhai Le's character, he probably wouldn't do something like deliberately eavesdropping. The only explanation is that he came to find someone.

Unfortunately, I only heard half of it from the corner of the wall.

With Lin Feng's way of describing things, who wouldn't have the wrong idea?

With the topic moved on, Zhai Le breathed a sigh of relief.

He said, "Mr. Chu wants you to go help out in the east kitchen..."

With the Lin family's money, the village was quite well-off, but as the population increased, expenses also increased. For example, the dozens of people led by Gong Shuwu ate more and more each day. After a day of training, they could eat four or five large flatbreads with plum soup.

Before settling that tax bill, we should save as much as possible.

Chen, the food supplier, Tang: "..."

"When Uncle Gong and his family came back, they brought back a few pheasants and rabbits, which looked quite plump..."

As Zhai Le spoke, his saliva production increased.

He hadn't had roasted rabbit or roasted chicken in a long time.

Shen Tang's face lit up with joy: "Really? Let's go right now!"

We can only discuss Lin Feng's matter later.

In everyone's eyes, she was probably the first woman capable of storing the energy of heaven and earth. At her current age, it would be a natural progression for her to develop her alchemy center and cultivate both literary and martial prowess. However, she was, after all, an "anomaly," especially in the chaotic world of frequent wars.

People tend to view such "outliers" as ominous.

It can also be used as an excuse to attack or target them.

Fortunately, Lin Feng quickly came up with a clever plan and managed to get through it.

"My lord..."

Just as Shen Tang was figuring out how to conjure a basket of pancakes with a single word of magic, Lin Feng suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhai Le was not there.

The scene just now was so embarrassing and shameful.

If she were to see Zhai Le, she would probably feel extremely uncomfortable.

Shen Tang gestured for her to sit down: "It's alright."

Lin Feng bit his lower lip: "But what happened just now..."

"Don't be afraid." Shen Tang's gaze was gentle and calming. Being looked at by those eyes gave Lin Feng, who was feeling lost and helpless, a sense of security. "Nothing is impossible in this world. You don't need to feel anxious or afraid. I'm here for you."
