24: Chapter 24 Goodbye, Yujingxiang.

Qin Feng took a closer look and was slightly taken aback.

The woman before him was in her early thirties, with striking and elegant features. Although she was only wearing a rough gauze dress, the mature, supple charm she exuded could not be hidden.

Yu Jingxiang!

She was the very same beautiful woman who had fought Qin Feng in the cold pool at the Luanzang Mountain Range.

The moment Yu Jingxiang, who was holding a wooden basin, saw that the person before her was Qin Feng, her stunning face flushed red to the tips of her ears in an instant, and a flash of panic crossed her watery eyes.

Clearly, she also remembered the embarrassing scene underwater that day.

The two stood three steps apart, staring at each other, the atmosphere becoming extremely awkward for a moment.

To break the deadlock, Qin Feng tugged at the corner of his mouth, gave a dry laugh, and spoke first: "What a coincidence, do you live here?"

Yu Jingxiang bit her red lips, lowered her gaze, and nodded gently, just as she opened her mouth to say something.

Just at that moment, a muffled "bang" suddenly came from the courtyard, like the sound of a wine jar being smashed!

Immediately after, a crude curse mixed with the strong smell of alcohol and explosive rage erupted in the courtyard like a thunderclap!

"You damn slut, how long are you going to dawdle just to pour out some foot-washing water?! Have you been flirting with wild men outside again?!"

Accompanied by the cursing, a burly man with a face full of flabby flesh walked out of the courtyard swaying, bare-chested.

This man was none other than Yu Jingxiang's husband, Jia Da.

With a cultivation of Mortal Rank 6, he was definitely a standout in the Intermediate Laborer District, controlling a full eight mu of spiritual fields.

However, this man was extremely fond of gambling and drinking, and when drunk, he was a violent maniac who knew no kin.

As soon as Jia Da stepped out, his bloodshot, bull-like eyes locked onto Qin Feng standing at the entrance.

"Who the hell are you?!"

Emboldened by the alcohol, Jia Da reached out, grabbed Yu Jingxiang by the hair, and roughly pulled her behind him. Then, pointing at Qin Feng's nose, he spewed profanities with spittle flying everywhere.

"What are you talking to my woman about in the middle of the night! You little punk, where are you looking? If you dare to look around again, believe it or not, I'll kill you and chop you up for fertilizer!"

Yu Jingxiang's scalp tingled from being pulled, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she dared not resist at all. She could only look at Qin Feng with pleading eyes, signaling him to leave quickly.

"Can't even take a look? Just how insecure are you?"

Qin Feng retorted coldly; his voice wasn't loud, but the insult was no less stinging.

"What did you say?! You're courting death!"

Jia Da was furious, his Mortal Rank 6 Qi and blood erupted, and he waved his sandbag-sized fist, ready to rush forward.

However, Qin Feng didn't give him the chance to act.

Before the other party could rush out, he shifted his feet, and his figure merged into the night like a ghost, leaving gracefully without any hesitation.

Leaving only Jia Da standing in place, punching the courtyard wall in anger, shaking the mud on the wall until it fell down rustling.

"Consider yourself lucky you ran fast. If I run into you next time, I'll definitely flay you alive!"

Jia Da cursed and dragged Yu Jingxiang back into the courtyard, slamming the door shut with a "bang".

Hiding in the dark alley, Qin Feng heard the loud sound of the door closing, and a playful amusement appeared in his eyes.

He had been worrying about who to use as a "scapegoat," and this Jia Da was simply a top-tier unlucky fool who had brought himself to his doorstep with a lantern!

An incense stick's time later.

Qin Feng was already standing in the middle of Jia Da's fertile spiritual field.

The soil here was a deep purple-black, containing immense earth power and Spiritual Qi, far better than those two mu of ordinary spiritual fields.

"What a geomantically blessed land."

Qin Feng exclaimed in admiration, and without a moment's hesitation, he fished out ten mutated blood ginseng seeds covered in golden patterns from his bosom.

He drew the short blade tucked at his waist, quickly dug ten holes in the very center of the spiritual field, buried the seeds, covered them with soil, and then stepped back a few paces, waiting quietly.

It had been less than ten breaths of time.

"Crack—crack—"

A sound of soil cracking that made one's scalp tingle rang out under the silent night sky!

Immediately after, a scene that could be called terrifying unfolded before Qin Feng's eyes.

Ten mutated blood ginseng plants, as thick as a forearm, crystal clear throughout, with golden liquid flowing on their surfaces, like ten horned dragons breaking through the soil, were crazily stretching their thick branches and leaves!

And as they grew, the surrounding purple-black top-grade spiritual soil rapidly lost all its luster at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye!

The black faded away, turning into ash-white!

The ash-white dead land spread outward crazily like a plague!

One meter, three meters, five meters,

It spread for a full seven or eight meters before the ten mutated blood ginseng plants finally stopped their domineering plundering, fully matured, and emitted an intoxicating, exotic fragrance.

And the land beneath them had already turned into a completely dead wasteland covered in terrifying cracks, turning into fly ash at the slightest breeze!

"Hiss—this destructive power is truly astonishing."

Even as the culprit, Qin Feng couldn't help but gasp.

He dared not delay, quickly stepped forward, exerted force with both hands, and pulled the ten top-grade blood ginseng plants, worth 1500 servant coins, out by the roots like pulling radishes.

He took off his black outer garment and wrapped them up tightly.

Looking at the seven or eight square meters of spiritual field that was completely ruined at his feet, Qin Feng didn't bother with it, because this was a problem for Jia Da to have a headache over tomorrow.

"That's it for today, you'd better pray you don't provoke me next time."

Qin Feng smiled, slung the bundle onto his back, his figure once again merged into the night, and he sped back toward Courtyard No. 77.

By the time he crossed mountains and ridges, returned silently to the Ding District, and arrived outside his own courtyard wall.

Suddenly, Qin Feng's footsteps came to an abrupt halt.

By the faint moonlight, he keenly captured a sneaky black shadow crouching at the base of his own courtyard's back wall.

The black shadow was thin, and at this moment, it was sticking its butt out, hands gripping the top of the wall, trying hard to peek into the courtyard.

A burst of lewd laughter came softly from the shadow's mouth.

"Hehe... seeing that little beast go out, tonight only the little vixen is home... just right, I'll go in and help him loosen the soil, let them know what Senior's care is all about..."

That familiar and disgusting raspy voice—who else could it be but Ji Boxiao?!

This grandson had obviously been tailing him for a long time. Seeing Qin Feng go out late at night, his lust took over, and he prepared to climb the wall to forcibly take Bai Yuhe!

"Grandson, since you delivered yourself to my door, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Qin Feng crossed his arms, simply leaned against the wall of the alley nearby, with no intention of stepping forward to stop him at all.

There was a rule in the Servant District that for those who climbed over walls into others' residences with ill intent, the homeowner could use any means of legitimate defense.

Causing injury or disability would not incur any responsibility!!
