272: Angry wife

"Husband, I found Huangfu Rui and Huangfu Yunyan! They've been running, and I can't catch them immediately. You all go ahead first; I'll kill them and then meet up with you!"

Feng Ming lowered his head to look at the map, and sure enough, he saw Jiang Shuwan and the two Huangfu siblings—three red dots—moving rapidly. The two Huangfu individuals were being chased so relentlessly that they dared not stop, fleeing for their lives.

Moments later, Feng Ming's expression darkened—the direction the two were fleeing was straight toward the dangerous location, Yin Feng Valley!

"Shuwan, be careful! They are running toward Yin Feng Valley, trying to use the terrain to circle around and escape!"

He immediately noticed Feng Mian's red dot was situated on one side of Yin Feng Valley and quickly sent a message: "Big Brother, hurry and set up defenses on both sides of Yin Feng Valley. Try to trap Huangfu Rui and Huangfu Yunyan outside the valley and join forces with Shuwan to kill them."

Feng Mian replied instantly: "Received!"

Feng Ming was far from Yin Feng Valley, so he simply entrusted the matter to his Big Brother. He calculated that the Huangfu siblings were already struggling against Jiang Shuwan alone, and would certainly be unable to withstand the combined attack of two people. At that point, they would surely have no wings to escape.

Just as he was about to set the meeting point at Wangyue Spring, an urgent message arrived from Hua Dieer: "Feng Ming! Look at the map, someone is rushing toward Wangyue Spring!"

Feng Ming's heart tightened. He focused his gaze and saw three unfamiliar red dots rapidly approaching the outskirts of Wangyue Spring.

Wangyue Spring was one of the three major dangerous locations, filled with miasma and Yao Beasts. Ordinary Cultivators avoided it like the plague, yet these three were actively rushing in. Clearly, they meant trouble.

"Could they be aiming for the Opportunity at Wangyue Spring?" Feng Ming frowned deeply and immediately sent messages to Jiang Shuwan and Feng Mian, telling them to quickly reinforce Wangyue Spring after dealing with the Huangfu siblings. He, meanwhile, would first rush to Hua Dieer's location at Xiyue Slope to investigate the newcomers.

Jiang Shuwan told him not to wait, but to go protect the Opportunity first, lest others snatch it.

Feng Ming no longer hesitated and set off immediately. He had no worries about the battle situation at Yin Feng Valley; his mind was entirely focused on figuring out: Who were the owners of those three red dots? And were they truly coming for the Opportunity?

While traveling, Feng Ming took a moment to check the information on the three red dots heading straight for Wangyue Spring. He found that the trio had no background—they were neither acquaintances nor members of major Families—yet their target was abnormally clear, which deepened his suspicion.

Just as he was about to send a message to Hua Dieer, who was well-informed due to her backing by the Hua Clan Merchant House, he first received a message from outside the field of view, sent by Feng Da: "Young Master, Miss Anan asked me to tell you that someone is approaching Miss Dieer, and asked you to warn her."

Since the message from outside the field had a delay, Feng Ming quickly checked the map. Sure enough, there were two red dots extremely close to Hua Dieer near Xiyue Slope. He immediately sent a warning: "Be careful! There are two people around you!"

When Hua Dieer received the message, she was sitting cross-legged under a crooked-neck tree on Xiyue Slope, hoping to resolve her Heart Demon and break through to a higher Realm while waiting for Feng Ming. However, she had made no progress.

After reading the message, Hua Dieer stood up and saw two figures rushing over and stopping in front of her.

Hua Dieer did not know these two people, but the look in their eyes made her feel disgusted.

Hua Dieer glanced at them. The two men were one fat and one thin; one was bald, and the other had a sallow complexion. Both were now drooling, their eyes glazed over, staring at her with lecherous gazes.

"If you want to die, keep looking!" Hua Dieer scolded coldly.

The two men snapped back to reality. Sensing that her aura was only at the Peak of the Golden Core Realm, they immediately started smiling menacingly.

"Little Sister Dieer, your face is truly soul-stirring. You really are like a butterfly flitting among flowers, so beautiful and moving. Since we met, fate must have brought us together. How about we have some fun?"

The other man also wore a lewd smile, rubbing his hands as he approached step by step: "There is such a beauty in the world! Little Sister Dieer, there are some pleasures you haven't experienced yet, right? How about we big brothers let you experience them today?"

Killing intent surged in Hua Dieer's eyes. Having the Innate Charm Body was not her fault, and she would not allow these two men to profane her like this.

She flicked her sleeve, sending out a pink ray of light. The two men hastily tried to block it, but realized the light dissipated the moment it touched them.

They immediately became even more frivolous: "Naughty girl! I didn't expect Little Sister to play such a romantic game. But I like this mood! Come on, let Big Brother pamper you properly!"

Having said that, the two men pounced again.

This time, Hua Dieer did not dodge, leaning against the tree trunk and looking away.

Although her Realm was stuck at the Golden Core, with her Innate Charm Body, dealing with two Early Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators was utterly effortless.

At this moment, those two men still thought they were intimately entangled with a goddess, making all sorts of vulgar noises.

Hua Dieer frowned. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the auras of the two men completely vanished.

She immediately waved her hand, collected two heaven ranking ticketss, and coldly snorted, "Serves them right."

Just as she was thinking this spot was dirty and preparing to move elsewhere to wait for Feng Ming, she saw him rushing over the hill.

Seeing Feng Ming, the anger in Hua Dieer's heart could no longer be suppressed, and she immediately swung her fist toward Feng Ming's face.

Feng Ming reacted extremely fast, raising his hand to catch her wrist, surprised and amused: "Are you crazy? You're hitting even me!"

"But what's wrong with you? Your strength is only at the Peak of the Golden Core Realm, and yet you were so secretive before, telling me not to be surprised! That's hilarious!"

Hua Dieer's pretty face turned scarlet. Thinking of her previous smug appearance, she felt both angry and wronged, her eyes turning red: "It's been almost a year, and my strength has been stuck here, besieged by a Heart Demon! And you're still laughing? You're a scumbag!"

Feng Ming's smile stopped abruptly, and his expression became serious: "You have a Heart Demon?"

Hua Dieer nodded. Feng Ming checked her condition and let out a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's only the Early Stage, not deep. I will take responsibility for you!"

"Who asked you to take responsibility!" Hua Dieer said angrily.

Feng Ming turned around, pretending to leave, but Hua Dieer immediately burst into tears.

He rushed to comfort her: "Young Miss, I already said I'd take responsibility, why are you still crying? It's just an Early Stage Heart Demon, that's all!"

"That's all? Then you should figure out a way to help me resolve it! All you do is take advantage of me, and now that there's a problem, you want to shirk responsibility!" Hua Dieer questioned, sobbing.

Feng Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "No, your Innate Charm Body doesn't work on me, so this isn't my fault! Besides, I already said I would help you. How did it turn into me abandoning you after using you? Am I, Feng Ming, that kind of person?"

"You are! Big scumbag!" Hua Dieer shouted, pouting angrily.

Feng Ming helplessly compromised: "Alright, alright, I'm a scumbag, okay? Stop being angry for now. The Opportunity at Wangyue Spring is important. Let's hurry on the road, and we can figure out how to resolve your Heart Demon along the way. I'll be right beside you, aren't you reassured?"

Seeing Feng Ming's sincere attitude and having successfully met up, Hua Dieer finally nodded.

Just as Feng Ming was about to set off, he glanced at the two dead men lying not far away and was instantly dumbfounded: "Holy cow! This looks like a scene of passion everywhere! What happened to them?"

Hua Dieer explained curtly: "They tried to molest me, so I killed them."

Feng Ming immediately gave her a thumbs up: "Daring to provoke you while you're angry? Those two unlucky guys deserved to die!"

"What do you mean 'provoke me while I'm angry'? Am I scary when I'm angry?" Hua Dieer glared at him, displeased.

Feng Ming chuckled and teased: "Aren't you scary when you're angry? That's common sense! There's a saying that goes: 'Four things cannot be restrained—a pig during the New Year, a startled donkey, an angry wife, and a fish caught on shore!'"
