Fang Qingyue was not moved by his promise, but remained calm.
She said softly, "I don't have any wishes. I just hope that when you go down the mountain in the future, you won't scare the townspeople again, and won't affect the clinic's business."
Li Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "So this is what you care about! Interesting, interesting!"
"Okay, I promise you, as long as I, Li Chengfeng, am here, my brothers will never harass the people in this town again."
Fang Qingyue nodded slightly. Although she did not fully trust the bandits' promise, this was the only way for the moment.
It was getting late, and she planned to leave as soon as possible, but unexpectedly, Li Chengfeng whispered, "It's late at night, and the mountain road is difficult to travel."
"Girl, you saved me. Stay in the village tonight and rest. It won't be too late to go down the mountain tomorrow."
Fang Qingyue thought about it for a moment and felt that the mountain road was indeed dangerous at night, so she nodded in agreement.
As night fell, Fang Qingyue was arranged to rest in a small house in the mountain village.
Although she was exhausted, she still felt uneasy. It was quiet all around, and from time to time she could hear the low growls of wild beasts in the distance.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, a strange noise suddenly came from outside.
Fang Qingyue's heart tightened and she quickly stood up.
She walked quietly to the door and listened carefully. She heard a few faint roars from outside, mixed with the sound of branches breaking.
She was startled, knowing it was a wolf from the mountain.
Now that she was alone, she had no self-defense equipment and couldn't help feeling anxious.
Suddenly, an angry shout came from outside the door: "Get out!" followed by the sound of swords being drawn.
Fang Qingyue pushed the door open and saw Li Chengfeng and several of his younger brothers confronting a black jackal.
Li Chengfeng waved his sword to drive away the jackal, then turned to look at Fang Qingyue, his expression showing some concern: "Are you okay?"
Fang Qingyue stood at the door, feeling a little scared, and shook her head gently: "I'm fine."
Li Chengfeng put away his knife and said calmly, "This is a forest, and wild animals often appear at night."
"Stay in the room and don't come out. We're here and nothing will happen to you."
Fang Qingyue looked at his stern expression and felt a little relieved.
"Master Li, thank you for your help."
Fang Qingyue nodded slightly, with a hint of sincerity in her tone.
Li Chengfeng's action of driving away the jackal just now made her have a different opinion.
Li Chengfeng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Miss Fang saved my life. This little thing is nothing. We are even now. A favor for a favor."
Fang Qingyue's heart moved slightly, and she looked up at Li Chengfeng.
Although he is a bandit leader, he has a clear sense of gratitude and resentment, unlike an ordinary vulgar person.
This kind of demeanor combined with his young and handsome appearance makes it difficult to underestimate him.
"However," Li Chengfeng suddenly dropped his smile and spoke in a serious tone, "This place isn't very safe. Wild beasts often roam the forests at night. We were lucky to drive off the jackal just now, but who knows if more beasts will attack?"
"If you stay the night in this remote little house, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you."
Fang Qingyue frowned slightly, a sense of vigilance rising in her heart. "Master Li, what do you mean?"
Li Chengfeng's eyes flickered, and then he said, "Why don't you go to my bedroom and rest? It's safer there, and there are people guarding it."
"I can promise that you will never be harmed in the slightest."
He paused, as if afraid that Fang Qingyue might misunderstand, and quickly added: "You sleep on the couch, and I'll sleep on the bed. Although I, Li Chengfeng, am a bandit, I also know the rules and will never offend a young lady."
After hearing this, Fang Qingyue remained alert.
She had never been alone in a room with a man, let alone the man in front of her was a bandit leader.
But then she thought again, Li Chengfeng had indeed just saved her, and the wild beasts were rampant in the mountains. If something really happened, she would find it difficult to protect herself alone.
After thinking for a moment, she finally nodded in agreement, her tone calm but firm: "Okay, I agree, but you need to remember your promise. If you offend me in any way, I will not forgive you easily."
Seeing her agree, Li Chengfeng's eyes flashed with interest, and then he smiled and said, "Don't worry, young lady. Since I said it, I will naturally keep my promise. Although I am a bandit, I am also a man of rules."
The two walked towards Li Chengfeng's bedroom together.
After passing through several corridors, you will enter a room with simple but elegant decoration. The furnishings in the room are not luxurious.
In one corner of the room there was a soft couch covered with a soft blanket, and on the other side was Li Chengfeng's bed. The bed was wide, obviously for his convenience to rest during his illness.
Fang Qingyue took a quick look and said calmly, "This room is much safer than outside."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "Although this mountain is a bandit's lair, I, Li, pay attention to style, so this bedroom naturally cannot be casual."
He looked at Fang Qingyue and said in a relaxed tone, "Miss, just rest here with peace of mind. I will protect you."
Fang Qingyue nodded, walked to the couch and sat down, feeling a little more at ease.
Although she agreed to stay in the same room with Li Chengfeng, she was still on guard in her heart. After all, the person in front of her was not a good person.
Li Chengfeng looked at her slightly reserved expression and smiled slightly, saying, "Miss, there's no need to be so nervous. Although I, Li, am a bandit, I'm not a despicable person."
"You saved me today, I won't repay you with evil."
As he spoke, he walked towards the bed, unbuttoned his coat and lay down.
Fang Qingyue was lying on the couch, and after hearing Li Chengfeng's words, she replied calmly, "I hope the boss will remember what I said today."
