166: Chapter 166 Beg your master's leg, save your disciple...

"I won't let go. Unless Revered Master promises to give this Disciple a chance to live, I'd rather be slapped to death by Revered Master right here than let go."

Qin Feng stiffened his neck, looking like a shameless rascal who didn't fear boiling water...

"You... you shameless scoundrel, how did I end up taking in such a shameless Disciple?!"

Xu Hongxia was breathing heavily, the breathtaking curves of her chest heaving violently, stirring up a fragrant breeze.

She simply couldn't deal with this thick-skinned Prodigy Disciple, whom she found more pleasing to the eye the more she looked at him. She could only grit her teeth and fumble at the collar of her fiery red gauze dress for a long while.

"Here, take this and get lost immediately. If you dare to act up again, I will really slap you to death!"

Accompanied by Xu Hongxia's shy and angry shout, three exquisite Talismans flickering with ancient, obscure golden runes were shoved in front of Qin Feng.

The Talismans still retained a trace of warmth, along with the rich, feminine fragrance unique to Xu Hongxia.

With lightning speed, Qin Feng snatched the Talismans, leaped backward nimbly, and the tragic look on his face instantly vanished, replaced by a satisfied, wicked grin.

"Hehe, many thanks for the reward, Revered Master. I knew Revered Master cared about this Disciple the most."

"You..."

Seeing Qin Feng's shameless behavior, changing his face faster than turning the pages of a book, Xu Hongxia trembled with anger. She pointed at him, unable to speak for a long time. Finally, she could only rub her temples in annoyance, rolled her eyes, and said: "Consider yourself lucky. These three are 'High Grade Talismans', which I refined with great effort. Using even one can unleash terrifying power equivalent to a full-force strike from a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator!"

Xu Hongxia pointed to the three Talismans and sternly instructed:

"The first is a 'Swift Wind Talisman', for escaping. Once activated, it will unleash the speed of a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator for a quarter of an hour; the second is an 'Earth Shield Talisman', mainly for defense, which can withstand the fierce bombardment of a Foundation Establishment Late Stage powerhouse; the third is a 'Heavenly Thunder Talisman', mainly for attack. Once unleashed, it draws upon the power of thunder and punishment; even a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator will be stripped of a layer of skin if they don't die!"

"With these three things, as long as you don't provoke those Golden Core Stage monsters, you will be safe outside."

Qin Feng carefully tucked the three Talismans away and bowed:

"Revered Master's kindness, this Disciple will never forget. When I return victorious, I will definitely give Revered Master a full-body massage every day to show my filial piety!"

"Get lost! Nothing good ever comes out of your mouth!"

Xu Hongxia widened her beautiful eyes. Although she was scolding him, the worry she felt for her Disciple deep in her heart finally eased quite a bit. She waved her hand and sighed wearily:

"Go and prepare. Sunset City is located on a major thoroughfare and is extremely prosperous. It's good to go out and see the world, just treat it as relaxing."

Qin Feng chuckled. Just as he reached the door, he suddenly thought of a strange question. He paused and turned his head back:

"By the way, Revered Master. I've always had a question I wanted to ask."

"Speak."

"I've heard that our Hehuan Sect... practices the Dao of Yin and Yang, acting eccentrically, and has always been seen as an Evil Path in the eyes of ordinary people. Is the 'Demonic Path' we speak of the kind of monsters that eat human flesh and drink human blood, acting inhumanely?"

Hearing this question, Xu Hongxia's expression stiffened for a moment.

She cleared her throat unnaturally, her eyes darting away, and she muttered:

"Uh... that's not it. Actually... the 'Demonic Cultivator' you are going to eliminate in Sunset City this time... is a Disciple of the orthodox Dao Sect, the Xuanqing Sect."

Qin Feng blinked, his brain unable to process this for a moment:

"Then... does that mean we are the Demonic Cultivators?"

"Slap!"

Xu Hongxia's pretty face flushed slightly. Embarrassed and angry, she slapped the table, grabbed the Jade Slip on it, and threw it at him, scolding with a smile:

"Silly Disciple, who would ever call themselves a Demonic Cultivator?! Go and prepare, stop overthinking things here!"

Qin Feng narrowly caught the Jade Slip and laughed:

"This Disciple understands. First of all, we cannot call ourselves the Demonic Path..."

Returning to his own courtyard.

Zhou Qingzi, Mu Siyao, and Mu Wanqing had long been anxiously waiting in the courtyard.

Seeing Qin Feng return safe and sound, the three women surrounded him.

"Revered Master, how did it go? Did Elder Xu agree to help cancel the mission?" Zhou Qingzi asked with some worry.

Qin Feng shook his head, casually took off his coat and hung it on a tree branch, fished a large bag of black seeds and several hoes from his Storage Pouch, and said brazenly:

"It wasn't canceled, but it doesn't matter. This trip to Sunset City might not be bad. Come, come, come, ladies, today this Young Master will take you to do some manual labor!"

"Farming?!"

The three women looked at the hoes and seeds Qin Feng threw on the ground, looking at each other in dismay.

Mu Wanqing was wearing a water-blue long dress, her long, beautiful legs wrapped in black ice-silk stockings faintly visible under the hem. She looked at Qin Feng with some confusion and asked:

"Brother Feng, as Cultivators, why are we planting white radishes in the courtyard?"

Qin Feng used a small shovel to dig a hole in the ground, and while throwing the radish seeds in, he looked back at the three women, a mysterious and annoying wicked smile on his face:

"After I leave for a few days, you will naturally know the wonders of this thing."

"Pah—!"

Seeming to suddenly understand something, Mu Wanqing's pretty face instantly turned completely red. She rolled her eyes in shame and anger, and scolded: "I... I don't like eating vegetables, I won't help you plant them..."

"If Revered Master says it's useful, it must be useful. Siyao will help Revered Master."

Mu Siyao was an honest person; she ran over with a blushing face, rolled up her sleeves, and started digging the ground.

Zhou Qingzi also covered her mouth and chuckled, then squatted down to help.

"Haha, Wanqing, did you misunderstand something? The pure are self-pure, and the muddy are self-muddy!"

Qin Feng laughed heartily, reached out to grab a small clump of wet mud, and wickedly smeared it on Mu Wanqing's fair, pretty face.

"Ah... you are so bad~"

Mu Wanqing cried out. Her usual cold arrogance vanished, and she screamed, grabbed some mud, and pounced on Qin Feng.

For a time, the small courtyard was filled with laughter. Four women and one man were rolling in the mud, with fragrant breezes and mud splattering everywhere.

After playing for half a day, the sun set.

Qin Feng waved his large sleeves and set up a full table of Spirit Wine and delicacies in the courtyard.

"Let's get drunk today, and worry about tomorrow's sorrows tomorrow!"

Raising his wine glass, Qin Feng's deep gaze swept across the pretty faces of his three confidantes, and he said loudly:

"Tonight, we won't stop until we're drunk!"

The night deepened, and the aroma of Spirit Wine permeated the air.

Zhou Qingzi and Mu Siyao, emboldened by the wine, danced gracefully under the moonlight, their thin veils flying, looking absolutely beautiful.

And Mu Wanqing, who was already slightly tipsy, snuggled into Qin Feng's arms with a flushed face.

This night, the breeze was gentle, and the moon was bright with few stars.

The next morning, thick fog filled the air.

Qin Feng put on a neat black robe, carried his flying knife bag, and in the reluctant gazes of the three women, walked out of the courtyard with large strides.

"Wait for my return."

Qin Feng did not look back, just waved his hand nonchalantly with his back to them, and his figure soon disappeared into the fog of the Outer Sect.

Walking out of the magnificent white stone gate of the Hehuan Sect Outer Sect, looking at the vast world outside, a cold curve hooked at the corner of his mouth.

However, what he did not know was.

Not long after he had just left the Sect's sphere of influence,

In the fog beside the white stone gate, several strange figures flashed by one after another.

"Boss, the target has left the Sect..."

"Hmph, truly courting death. Five hundred thousand Spirit Stones, we brothers are determined to take it!"

"There are quite a few people eyeing those Spirit Stones, we must be fast..."

In the thick fog, the cold whispers gradually dissipated.

On the dangerous official road, Qin Feng hummed a little tune, walking step by step towards Sunset City...
