16: Chapter 16 Reunion with an Acquaintance, Wu Mengmeng.

At high noon, the sun was scorching.

The Management Hall of the Servant District was located in the very center of the entire Servant District 666; it was a sturdy fortress built of bluestone, forming a stark contrast to the dilapidated wooden huts and thatched sheds surrounding it.

Qin Feng brought Bai Yuhe along, striding boldly through the main gate of the Management Hall.

The person in charge of registration was a monkey-like man. Seeing the two approach, he didn't even lift his head as he said, "800 servant coins."

No further proof was needed; clearly, when they entered, the monkey-like man had already discerned that both of their strengths were already above the third Mortal realm, meeting the standard to become a Middle-tier Servant.

"Sorry for the trouble."

Qin Feng didn't waste words, though he secretly marveled to himself about how the Servant District was full of hidden talents.

He then gently placed the 800 servant coins on the table.

The registration process was very fast, taking only half an incense stick's time.

"These are your Middle-tier Servant identity tokens, as well as the housing deed and land deed."

The monkey-like man handed two silver-white iron plates and two parchment papers stamped with the Management Hall's seal to Qin Feng, then bowed with quite a bit of professional etiquette: "The courtyard assigned to you is in the Ding District, Ding-zi District Courtyard No. 77. Congratulations to you both on your promotion to Middle-tier Servant!"

...

Servant District 666, Ding District.

This place was practically a different world from the outer area where sewage flowed through the thatched shed district.

Although the roads couldn't be called spacious, at least they were paved with smooth bluestone slabs.

Every household possessed an independent rammed-earth courtyard wall, and one could even smell the faint fragrance of spiritual rice wafting from the courtyards.

"Creak—"

Qin Feng took the key provided by the Management Hall and pushed open the heavy red-lacquered wooden gate of Ding-zi District Courtyard No. 77.

What came into view was a spacious courtyard about the size of more than half a basketball court.

In the courtyard, there was a water well and a set of stone tables and chairs.

Directly in front were three large tiled houses built with green bricks; although they were a bit old, they were definitely capable of shielding one from the wind and rain!

"Oh my... Is... is this really our home?"

Bai Yuhe stood behind Qin Feng, looking at the scene before her, covering her mouth with both hands as tears of excitement welled up and spilled from her eyes.

From a drafty thatched shed to having an independent brick-and-tile courtyard, this leap in social class made Bai Yuhe feel as if she were dreaming.

Previously, she hadn't thought about having children because the offspring of a Menial Laborer would also be of the lower class, and being born would only mean suffering...

But now, with such good conditions, Bai Yuhe looked at Qin Feng beside her with flushed cheeks; if he were willing, she would be willing too.

"Alright, stop standing there in a daze. Hurry and go get some water to clean the room; tonight, we finally won't have to sleep on a bed of hay."

Qin Feng stretched, then strode into the courtyard.

He took a deep breath; there was no nauseating stench of rot in the air. This long-lost scent of "humanity" allowed his long-tense nerves to finally relax a little.

"Yes, Master, this servant will go right away!"

Bai Yuhe cheered, immediately rolled up her sleeves, grabbed a wooden bucket from the corner of the courtyard, and ran excitedly to the well to start drawing water.

Just as Qin Feng was preparing to go inside to check the layout.

"Yo, I was wondering who was making such a big commotion; so it turns out it's the new neighbors who just moved in next door!"

An extremely grating, sour, and condescending male voice suddenly came from outside the slightly ajar courtyard gate.

With a "bang," the courtyard gate was rudely pushed open by someone.

Qin Feng frowned and turned his head to look; it really was a case of meeting enemies on a narrow road!

Standing at the courtyard entrance was none other than his former "boss," Ji Boxiao, who had kicked him out of the courtyard like a dog half a month ago, leaving him to fend for himself!

And behind Ji Boxiao followed the voluptuous, sultry, and charming woman, Wu Mengmeng!

At this moment, Ji Boxiao had his hands behind his back, walking with a splayed gait, his chin held high, carrying the air of a Middle-tier Servant Senior inspecting newcomers.

However, when his gaze landed on the tall, upright man in the center of the courtyard... the arrogance on his face instantly froze...

"Qin... Qin Feng?!"

Ji Boxiao's eyes bulged out, as if he had seen a ghost, his shrill voice cracking, "How could it be you, you little bastard?! How are you here?!"

In his perception, the useless dog that had been driven to the thatched shed district would have long since been gnawed down to the bone by the wild dogs in the mass grave by now.

Yet now, not only was this waste not dead, but he was actually standing openly in a brick-and-tile courtyard that only a Middle-tier Servant was qualified to possess?!

"What? Seeing that I'm still alive, you seem very disappointed."

Qin Feng crossed his arms, looking at Ji Boxiao with a mocking smile, filled with playfulness and ridicule.

Wu Mengmeng, following behind Ji Boxiao, also shuddered.

When she saw Qin Feng's current appearance clearly, her peach-blossom eyes instantly shimmered with watery ripples.

At this moment, Qin Feng no longer had that previous timid, emaciated, and pathetic look.

Due to the Breakthrough to the fourth Mortal realm, his whole frame had grown taller, his muscles stretching his coarse linen clothes until they were bulging, and between his brows, he exuded a strong confidence and domineering aura, full of extreme masculinity!

"Gulp..." Wu Mengmeng swallowed involuntarily, feeling her legs go slightly weak.

"Heh! You're even putting on airs!"

After a brief shock, extreme jealousy and inferiority instantly twisted Ji Boxiao's face.

He gritted his teeth and said unhappily, "Don't think that just because you got lucky and became a Middle-tier Servant, you're something. As your boss, let me tell you, a lower-class dog will always be a lower-class dog! Even if you put on a Dragon robe, you still won't look like a prince!"

While Ji Boxiao barked, trying to use words to cover up his extreme inner imbalance, his gaze suddenly caught sight of Bai Yuhe drawing water by the well.

Bai Yuhe was wearing a tight short outfit today; when she bent over to draw water, her astonishingly voluptuous curves were outlined vividly.

Coupled with that naturally seductive, fox-like face...

"Hiss—"

Ji Boxiao instantly gasped, his eyes glued tightly to Bai Yuhe's body, unable to look away, his Adam's apple bobbing violently.

A top-tier beauty! An absolute top-tier beauty!

"Qin Feng, you brat, you really have quite the luck with women..." Ji Boxiao's tone changed instantly, filled with naked greed.

He even habitually put on the airs of his former boss status, ordering people around as he said, "Since we've become neighbors, and you were once one of my subordinates. According to the rules, newcomers must pay tribute to the Senior."

"How about this: today, you and your woman come to my courtyard, let her accompany me, and we'll all have a good drink. As for you clashing with me in the past, I'll just pretend it never happened!"

Ji Boxiao was blinded by lust and didn't notice at all that, while he was spouting filth.

Wu Mengmeng, behind him, had already taken advantage of his distraction to sway her snake-like waist and quietly circled around to Qin Feng's side.

A burst of body fragrance, mixed with the sweetness of a ripe peach, drilled straight into Qin Feng's nose.

Wu Mengmeng's watery eyes were almost dripping with moisture.

She stood on tiptoe, her red lips almost touching Qin Feng's earlobe, breathing like an orchid, her voice lowered to an extremely low and seductive tone:

"Little Fengzi... Your sister-in-law hadn't had the chance to visit you at the thatched shed yet, and you've already returned..."

"Now it's great, our two houses are so close... In the future, when you have the chance, you must come back often to catch up with me..."
