CHAPTER 564: CHAPTER 574: FURY!

When the Poison Eye Dragon King came to collect the elixir, he also reported a rather amusing little incident. Miss Xiong bossed around, wanting to offer a high price for Chu Feng to help her treat someone.

As it happened, Chu Feng was not around at the time and the Beixie National Master rejected her request.

Over the following month, the Xiong Family’s manager, Gongsun Jiu, came every day to deliver his respects.

"Miss Xiong asks me to treat someone? Heh, how interesting. She probably doesn’t even know Longevity Hall is mine."

Chu Feng had a playful smile on his face; Miss Xiong had failed to enlist his help months before, throwing a major tantrum at the time and berating Chu Feng. She had arrogantly claimed that there were plenty of pill masters out there more skilled than Chu Feng.

It turns out, after going full circle, she ended up seeking help under the name of Longevity Hall, perhaps finding that truly skilled pill masters aren’t so easy to come by.

Chu Feng simply laughed off this small matter.

And didn’t take it to heart.

...

In the blink of an eye another half-month passed, with the year end approaching, the medicine field under Chu Feng’s management was becoming busier. Everyone was working full tilt, even the usually cunning Boss Zhong Hong personally took to the fields to tend to the medicinal herbs.

Han Shuang and Han Xiaoying’s conditions were both fairly good, as Chu Feng had visited them twice.

However, every time Chu Feng went there, Steward Yang Tianbao monitored them like a hawk, making it impossible for Chu Feng to spend some private time with his two wives.

Chu Feng was helpless about this.

After all, both of his wives were under the jurisdiction of Steward Yang Tianbao.

After Chu Feng warned Yang Tianbao last time, the effects were fairly good. According to Han Shuang and Han Xiaoying, Yang Tianbao didn’t dare to make any disrespectful moves towards them. At most, he abused his power to give them more work.

Chu Feng made a firm resolution that once he became the Mountain Master of Medicine Mountain No. 106, his wives would never need to suffer from others’ bullying again.

"Manager Chu, you are cultivating again! Truly worthy of being the elite of the Outer Sect; at such a young age, you’ve already passed through the third level of the Qiankun Sword Formation. Not only are you incredibly talented, but you are also so dedicated to hard work. At my old age, I’m not even close to you, a young man, it’s truly not unjust!"

"Admirable! Truly admirable!"

Zhong Hong gave Chu Feng a thumbs up, full of admiration.

"You’re not tending to your own medicine field, what brings you here?" Chu Feng wasn’t particularly fond of Boss Zhong Hong.

The man was extremely crafty, a real old hand.

"Ahem... Manager Chu, there is something I must tell you. Just two days ago, as I was passing by the territory of Steward Yang Tianbao, I saw Inner Sect Disciple Qin Shan delivering flowers to Han Xiaoying!"

Zhong Hong said mysteriously.

"Is it really true?" Chu Feng stood up abruptly; Han Xiaoying was his wife, and he wouldn’t allow anyone to covet her.

Jia Zhenjing had been dealt with, and now this Qin Shan had jumped out.

Ever since the first time he saw Qin Shan, Chu Feng keenly sensed that this man harbored covetous intent for Han Xiaoying. It’s only that Qin Shan was extremely duplicitous and hid it very well.

Han Xiaoying had repeatedly rejected Qin Shan’s overt and covert romantic pursuits.

Unexpectedly, this man had such thick skin, not ceasing his efforts until his goal was met. He even began to openly pursue Han Xiaoying, ripping off his disguise.

"If Manager Chu doesn’t believe, you can inquire around! If there’s nothing else, this humble one will take his leave!" Zhong Hong bowed and then departed.

"Zhong Hong, you did well. If there’s anything in the future, report to me in a timely manner!" Chu Feng commended Zhong Hong. Although he did not like this subordinate’s character, he had shown goodwill and loyalty, so certainly some praise was in order.

Otherwise, it could dampen the other party’s enthusiasm.

"Loyally serving Manager Chu is what I’m here for! Manager Chu is devoted to cultivation daily, paying little attention to external affairs, so if there is important information, I will definitely report to you promptly!"

Zhong Hong didn’t take any credit, which improved Chu Feng’s impression of him quite a bit.

Though Zhong Hong’s abilities were average, his way of conducting himself was exceptionally clever.

Learning that Han Xiaoying was being pestered and pursued by Han Shan, Chu Feng had no more mood for cultivation and immediately rushed to the medicine mountain under Steward Yang Tianbao.

Even if Han Shan is formidable, Chu Feng will never shrink back.

Rather, he’d face a life-and-death battle.

Four-star Sword God, and an Inner Sect Disciple, Han Shan’s strength must be astonishing.

But Chu Feng is no pushover either. He has quite a few trump cards up his sleeve.

It’s just a pity that his Demon Slaying Sword hasn’t been fully repaired yet. Otherwise, with the power of a Heavenly Divine Weapon, he might stand a chance in a battle against Han Shan. At least, his odds of winning would be higher.

At present, Chu Feng’s chances of victory are, at most, one in ten.

It wasn’t long before he rushed to Steward Yang Tianbao’s Medicine Mountain. From a distance, he saw Qin Shan pestering Han Xiaoying. No hands were laid, but he stubbornly insisted on giving Han Xiaoying flowers with unyielding determination.

This was a pot of vigorously growing, newly bloomed peony flowers.

Radiantly red.

When a man gives red flowers to a young and beautiful woman, the implication is clear. It signifies the man’s burning passion for her.

Han Xiaoying, with a cold expression on her pretty face, was focused on taking care of her medicinal herbs.

And Qin Shan was shamelessly insistent on giving her the pot of peony flowers.

Chu Feng, seeing this, was enraged. He darted over with a few leaps and stomped Qin Shan’s pot of peony flowers into a mashed mess.

"You bastard, did you do that on purpose?" Qin Shan didn’t really care about Chu Feng’s arrival. However, seeing the pot of flowers he had meticulously prepared trampled by Chu Feng, his face turned exceedingly gloomy.

A raging killing aura also emanated from him.

His eyes, cold as ice, were fixed on Chu Feng.

"Oh, my apologies! I really didn’t notice a pot of flowers here just now, I was too busy watching a toad lusting after swan meat," Chu Feng said, feigning remorse, yet his face showed not the slightest hint of apology.

"He didn’t do it on accident, it was on purpose!"

Seeing her husband arrive, Han Xiaoying immediately stopped her work. She worried that Chu Feng would get into a fierce conflict with Qin Shan.

If a fight broke out, Chu Feng would definitely be at a disadvantage.

Because Qin Shan’s strength was there for all to see.

"Kid, you’re seeking your own death, you can’t blame others!"

Qin Shan was infuriated to the extreme by Chu Feng’s mockery, likening him to a toad wanting swan meat.

Boom!

He struck out immediately.

He didn’t use a divine weapon, but used his palm as a sword, slashing down at Chu Feng.

The power of a Four-star Sword God was terrifying to the extreme.

Unlike Sword Saints who deliberately condense a Sword Domain, a Sword God of this level naturally exudes presence with every move. With just a thought, a Sword Domain is formed.

And a Sword God’s Sword Domain is far more potent than a Sword Saint’s, more than tenfold.

To give a vivid analogy, a Sword Saint Level Sword Domain is like a framework built from several sticks. But a Sword God Level Sword Domain has those sticks firmly secured at their joints.

"Break!"

This was Chu Feng’s first exchange with a powerhouse like Qin Shan.

Even knowing he was no match, he still fought back.
