Qin Feng pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"I'd better not trouble you!"

"I can handle Liu Fei myself!"

Liu Ruyan and Old Master Liu are definitely playing a long game. They won't easily make a move against Liu Fei until those unscrupulous people in the Liu family's collateral branches have come forward.

A person who hires someone to kill him will never allow the other party to live for too long.

Liu Ruyan frowned slightly. "You..."

"My mind is made up, you don't need to say anything more!" Qin Feng interrupted Liu Ruyan, then said, "I don't want to have anything to do with your Liu family!"

"Please also tell your family that our engagement is dissolved!"

"And he promised he would never marry me, warning them not to have any ulterior motives towards me!"

Liu Ruyan's expression was rather unpleasant. She looked directly at Qin Feng and asked, "Do you dislike me that much?"

Qin Feng nodded. "Yes!"

"I had a very bad impression of you from the very first time we met!"

"Just because of what I said?" Liu Ruyan scoffed. "How can a man like you be so petty!"

"Fine, you can call off the engagement, but you'll need to return the marriage certificate!"

"If you don't return the marriage certificate, even if you don't marry me, you can forget about marrying anyone else!"

"Unless you kill me!"

She was clearly trying to spite Qin Feng. She was confident that she was good in every way, so why did this guy look down on her so much because of a few words he said?

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of men who want to marry her. Why does this guy look down on her?

Qin Feng was speechless. This was clearly a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for him.

If we can find the marriage certificate, that's fine. But if we can't, won't this woman haunt us for the rest of our lives?

He couldn't just kill her because Liu Ruyan was pestering him, could he?

Liu Ruyan walked up to Qin Feng and pressed her body almost against him, so that they could feel each other's breath.

"Qin Feng, if you can't find the marriage certificate and return it to me, are you planning to marry me or kill me?"

Qin Feng was caught off guard by Liu Ruyan's sudden outburst and instinctively took two steps back. "Don't get so close to me!"

Liu Ruyan looked Qin Feng up and down with a mocking expression. "I never thought you, Qin Feng, would be afraid of me?"

"I'm not afraid, I'm..."

Qin Feng had only spoken halfway when Liu Ruyan strode forward and, to his astonishment, lightly kissed him on the lips.

Holy crap!

Was I taken advantage of?

Qin Feng was slightly taken aback, then said speechlessly, "Miss Liu, please have some self-respect!"

"I'm not a casual man!"

Liu Ruyan's face darkened. What did those words mean?

He's not a casual man, so does that mean I'm a casual woman?

"You just saw my body naked, and now I've only kissed you. Is there a problem?"

"If you're not happy, then kiss me back!"

Qin Feng looked at Liu Ruyan speechlessly. What kind of logic was this?

What on earth is this woman up to?

Didn't she always look down on him and be superior to him?

Why does it feel like I'm trying to give myself to him now?

He suspected there might be a conspiracy?

Liu Ruyan saw that Qin Feng remained silent and looked at him with disdain.

"Coward! You have the desire but not the guts!"

"Get lost, I'm going to sleep!"

Immediately, Liu Ruyan lay down on the bed without any defenses, as if Qin Feng didn't exist at all.

Faced with Liu Ruyan's blatant provocation, Qin Feng was a little annoyed, but in the end he still turned around, opened the door, and went out.

No matter what schemes Liu Ruyan may have, as long as he can control his desires, they will all fall apart on their own.

After watching Qin Feng walk out and close the door, Liu Ruyan blushed on her beautiful face and muttered to herself.

Was I possessed just now?

"Otherwise, why would you kiss that despicable guy?"

"Was I just acting out of spite?"

"That must be it. I'm excellent in every way, so why would that guy look down on me?"

On the other side, Qin Feng did not leave Villa No. 18.

He had been so focused on cultivation that he hadn't investigated why the spiritual energy was more abundant than before.

So I'm going to go back to that bedroom and investigate!

After a thorough investigation, Qin Feng found nothing unusual about the spiritual spring.

This result led him to a bold guess.

Before him, perhaps someone else had absorbed the spiritual energy of this place.

That's why the spiritual energy wasn't as abundant last time.

If his guess is correct, then who could it be? Could the other person also be a cultivator?

Qin Feng frowned. This place was a treasure trove for cultivation, capable of helping him at least reach the Yuan Dan realm, so he would absolutely not allow anyone else to lay a finger on it.

Even if it's just a guess, he still needs to do something about it.

After much deliberation, he finally decided to move to Villa No. 18.

Without the slightest hesitation, he went directly to find Liu Ruyan.

Because of the awkward scene before, Qin Feng did not push the door open directly this time, but knocked lightly on the door.

Soon, Liu Ruyan's voice rang out. "Mom, is that you? Come in!"

Qin Feng hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "It's me!"

After a long while, Liu Ruyan's voice rang out again. "Come in!"

Qin Feng then pushed open the door and went inside.

Liu Ruyan sat on the edge of the bed in her pajamas, her eyes sparkling as she watched Qin Feng walk in.

After Qin Feng closed the door, she asked, "Is there anything else?"

Qin Feng replied directly, "I want to stay at your house for a while!"

Liu Ruyan was stunned for a moment, then her expression became somewhat strange. "Qin Feng, you wouldn't have fallen in love with me, would you?"

So you want to get close to me and slowly develop feelings for me?

Besides this reason, she really couldn't think of any other reason why Qin Feng wanted to stay at her house.

Qin Feng couldn't tell the truth; he really didn't know how to explain it.

He hesitated for a moment, then grinned and said, "Don't be so vain!"

"I just suspect that since Liu Fei didn't kill me, he might target you, which is why I thought of moving into your house to protect you!"

Liu Ruyan gave a half-smile. "Qin Feng, do you take me for a three-year-old?"

"If Liu Fei had the ability to kill me, why would he target you?"

Qin Feng chuckled. "Miss Liu, have you forgotten that you were poisoned when we first met?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it must have been Liu Fei who did it, right?"

"And the bank incident and the two subsequent assassination attempts should also have been carried out by Liu Fei, right?"

"If it weren't for me, would you be alive today?"

Qin Feng's words left Liu Ruyan speechless; if it weren't for Qin Feng, she would have been dead long ago.

She simply didn't believe that Qin Feng wanted to move into her house to protect her.

She knew this man well; he would never be so kind. He must have some ulterior motive.

"Qin Feng, you'd better tell the truth!"

"Unless you marry me, don't even think about moving into my house."
