138: Chapter 138 Captain Chen, come shopping with me on your day off after that!

After hearing this, Chen Shanzhi waved his hand and said with some smugness, "Children should ask less about adult matters."

"Get lost!" Murong Yun cursed. Seeing that Chen Shanzhi wouldn't say anything, he didn't press for details.

Just as the two were chatting idly, Ouyang Wanqing walked over with elegant steps, wearing a dignified and refined water-blue long dress.

A gentle breeze blew past, carrying an extremely pleasant scent of orchid.

"Good morning, everyone." Ouyang Wanqing parted her red lips slightly and offered the group a gentle, refined smile befitting a lady of a noble house.

However, when everyone's gaze moved past Ouyang Wanqing and landed on the figure following behind her, the corners of everyone's eyes, including Chen Shanzhi's, couldn't help but twitch violently.

It was a woman. To be precise, she was a "King Kong Barbie" nearly nine feet tall, with arms thicker than Chen Shanzhi's thighs!

This female guard was wearing an extremely tight black martial arts uniform, and the muscles all over her body bulged as if they were about to burst the clothes apart.

On her back, she carried a ridiculously exaggerated, pitch-black greatsword the size of a door panel.

With every step she took, the bluestone slabs on the ground emitted a muffled, trembling sound.

Xuanguan Peak! And a Xuanguan Peak who followed the path of Body Refining!

A Body Refining Martial Artist is much more formidable than an ordinary Martial Artist.

Looking at the delicate young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion standing in front, who seemed like she could be blown over by a gust of wind, and then looking at the humanoid Vicious Beast behind her, the visual contrast was truly breathtaking.

"Miss Ouyang, your guard is... quite unique." Chen Shanzhi rubbed his chin and gave an extremely objective evaluation.

Ouyang Wanqing smiled slightly, not minding at all: "When out and about, bringing someone with great strength provides a better sense of security."

The four of them gathered, only missing Shen Lingfu.

Since they had nothing better to do, Jiang Feiyu sidled up to Ouyang Wanqing.

She glanced at Ouyang Wanqing's flawless face, and her mind suddenly recalled the highly provocative words Shen Lingfu had said earlier.

Although Jiang Feiyu had a peculiar train of thought and didn't mind being a concubine at all, she had even planned out their future household division of labor, with Ouyang Wanqing managing the money and her managing the meals.

However, she still kept her guard up.

"What if Sister Wanqing really becomes the first wife, finds me an eyesore, and doesn't let Chen Shanzhi take me out to eat delicious food?"

"No way, I need to build a good relationship in advance!"

Jiang Feiyu pondered this seriously in her heart. Then she took a deep breath and, with great solemnity, swiped her Academy Waist Token.

Light flickered, and a crystal-clear, top-grade crab roe bun emitting a rich fragrance appeared in her palm.

Jiang Feiyu stared at the bun in her hand, swallowing her saliva with extreme reluctance. Then she turned around and offered the bun to Ouyang Wanqing as if presenting an offering.

"Sister Wanqing... have you had breakfast? This crab roe bun is delicious, here, for you."

Jiang Feiyu blinked her clear, large eyes, her tone extremely sincere.

Seeing this scene, Murong Yun, standing to the side, had black lines all over his face.

"What the f*ck!" Murong Yun pointed at the bun in Jiang Feiyu's hand, jumping in anger: "Jiang Feiyu, didn't you just say you didn't have any left? You actually pulled another one out right in front of me?"

"Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Jiang Feiyu ignored him completely, only looking at Ouyang Wanqing with longing eyes.

Ouyang Wanqing looked at Jiang Feiyu's pained little expression and found it somewhat amusing. This girl, her mind was filled with nothing but food from morning till night.

"Thank you, Feiyu." Ouyang Wanqing reached out with her fair, jade-like hand, gently rubbed Jiang Feiyu's head, and smilingly declined: "You eat it, I had breakfast at the Academy before leaving, so I'm not hungry now."

"Really? Then I won't be polite!" Before the words even faded, "Whoosh!" Jiang Feiyu retracted her hand with lightning speed and "nommed" the top-grade crab roe bun, stuffing the whole thing into her mouth as if afraid Ouyang Wanqing would change her mind.

Murong Yun rolled his eyes while watching from the side.

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting." Just then, an extremely delicate and cloyingly sweet voice drifted over from the street corner not far away.

Everyone turned to look. They saw Shen Lingfu wearing a snow-white dress without a single speck of color, like a freshly bloomed white lotus flower, walking over with dainty, light steps.

And behind her, three gaunt old men in gray robes with eyes as sharp as hawks followed in perfect formation!

These three old men walked in perfect unison, their footsteps silent. Although they didn't deliberately release their Aura, the air within three feet of them seemed to be displaced by an invisible force.

Three Xuanguan Peak experts! And judging by their demeanor, they were definitely not the kind of fakes propped up by Medicinal Pills, but top-tier veterans who had truly experienced countless life-and-death battles!

"Hiss—" Murong Yun gasped, unable to help but give a thumbs up: "As expected of the apple of the Treasure Pavilion master's eye. What a display, what a grand entrance! Just going out to suppress some bandits and you casually throw out three Xuanguan Peak experts?"

Ouyang Wanqing folded her hands in front of her abdomen, maintaining the dignity of a noble lady, and turned her head to look at Murong Yun. "Young Master Murong is being too modest."

A faint smile played on the corners of Ouyang Wanqing's lips, but her tone carried a hint of teasing: "If you really wanted to bring three Xuanguan Peak experts out, the Murong Clan could definitely pull out thirty for you."

Murong Yun shook his head like a rattle-drum and waved his hands repeatedly. "Forget it! If I dared to bring three guards out for no reason, my eldest sister would definitely increase my training once I got back. I still want to live a few more years!"

While they were talking, Shen Lingfu had already walked up to the group. She first scanned the entire scene with extreme keenness.

Murong Yun, one guard. Ouyang Wanqing, one female guard. Seeing that there was only one person behind Ouyang Wanqing, a secret glint of triumph flashed in Shen Lingfu's pure eyes.

So what if she is a dignified young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion? In terms of grand display, isn't she still firmly outdone by my Treasure Pavilion!

Shen Lingfu blinked her large, watery eyes. She naturally bypassed everyone and walked straight to Chen Shanzhi.

"Captain Chen~" Shen Lingfu deliberately drew out the end of her voice, carrying a coquettish tone that made one's bones feel soft.

She first turned her head and gave Ouyang Wanqing an extremely innocent look, then raised her face and said to Chen Shanzhi as if wanting credit: "I only intended to bring one guard when I went back yesterday."

"But I was afraid that since everyone else is bringing several, what if our side doesn't have enough people when we arrive at Shi Village? That would be so dangerous."

"So, I pestered my father for a long time before he let me bring three guards. Captain Chen, is three enough?"

These words were watertight. She explained why she brought so many people, subtly stepped on others, and didn't forget to show her loyalty to Chen Shanzhi at the end. It was the standard speech of a top-tier green tea!

Chen Shanzhi looked at this little green tea, who was exuding the scent of tea, and then at the three Xuanguan Peak old men behind her. He suppressed his laughter and nodded in cooperation: "It's enough, it's enough. Miss Shen has performed a great service this time. With these three guards joining, we can definitely walk sideways today."

Hearing Chen Shanzhi's praise, two extremely sweet dimples instantly bloomed on Shen Lingfu's fair cheeks.

"Since I have performed such a great service..." Shen Lingfu slightly stood on her tiptoes, closing the distance between her and Chen Shanzhi. Her large eyes stared at him, sparkling, and her tone carried a hint of seemingly unintentional provocation: "Then, Captain Chen, how do you plan to reward me?"

Chen Shanzhi was stunned. He had originally thought this little green tea just wanted to take some verbal advantage, but he didn't expect her to dare to climb up the pole and ask for a reward?

"What reward do you want?" Chen Shanzhi crossed his arms and watched her with great interest.

Shen Lingfu clasped her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, and issued an invitation with extreme naturalness: "Then... on the day after next rest day."

"Accompany me to the largest rouge and powder shop in the capital to go shopping, okay?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding air seemed to go silent for a second. Murong Yun and Jiang Feiyu widened their eyes in unison. This Shen Lingfu is so bold? Asking for a date right to his face?

And Ouyang Wanqing, standing a few steps away, still maintained that impeccable, gentle smile on her dignified and stunning face. But when Shen Lingfu said the four words, "accompany me shopping," a cold, sharp glint quietly flashed in Ouyang Wanqing's cold, beautiful eyes!
